088 FXUS63 KDMX 262049 AFDDMX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Des Moines IA 249 PM CST Fri Nov 26 2021 .DISCUSSION.../Tonight through Friday/ Issued at 148 PM CST Fri Nov 26 2021 Key Messages: -Very quiet week with seasonably mild temperatures and dry weather. Only precipitation currently in the forecast for the next 7 days is tomorrow morning. A clipper system will ride in on the northwest flow, and that could support some light rain/snow showers. As mentioned in previous forecast discussion, dry air aloft is expected to limit the precipitation chances, and flurries/sprinkles are the most likely scenario with this clipper. West-northwest flow continues through much of next week, and as would be typical in this pattern we can expect a steady stream of troughs and ridges moving across the region. No arctic or polar air masses to tap into yet, so that means we can look forward to relatively mild temperatures through the period with only minor ebbs and flows in temperature with each short wave and associated front. && .AVIATION.../For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon/ Issued at 1135 AM CST Fri Nov 26 2021 VFR conditions will continue through the TAF period with only VFR mid and upper level clouds in the forecast. Surface winds from the south will be somewhat gusty this afternoon. Overnight a surface trough will cross the region, bringing a wind shift with winds coming out of the west by the end of the TAF period. && .DMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
