.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 232 PM CDT Wed Sep 24 2025

Low to mid level cloudiness will start to erode late this 
afternoon with mostly clear skies expected this evening through
tonight. Winds will be from a northerly direction this 
afternoon, becoming light and variable this evening through 
tonight. Winds then remain light and shift to a southelry 
direction tomorrow with continued mostly clear skies. Lows 
tonight are expected to range from the upper 40s across far 
western Kansas to upper 50s across central Kansas. Highs 
tomorrow will reach into the upper 70s. 

A dry pattern continues tomorrow night into the remainder 
of the forecast period as upper level ridging builds over the 
Plains. A few ensemble models hint at a slight chance of 
precipitation early next week but as of now the NBM remains dry.
Slightly above normal temperatures are expected through this 
period with highs in the low 80s and lows in the 50s.

Weak surface high pressure will persist across the plains

KDDC and KGCK. Otherwise, VFR conditions will persist.
