MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES HAVE BROUGHT SOME TEMPORARY REDUCTIONS IN
VISBY TO PARTS OF NE KS. INCOMING FRONT HAS PASSED THROUGH
HASTINGS...WITH THERMAL RIDGE OUT AHEAD MIXING HEBRON UP TO 46
DEGREES THIS PAST HOUR. DEWPOINTS CONTINUE TO SLOWLY
FALL...EXPECTED TO DROP MORE QUICKLY AS FRONT PUSHES THROUGH.

CLOUDS WILL BE A LITTLE TRICKY TODAY. FRONT BRINGS IN A BROKEN
LINE OF CEILINGS...HOWEVER TIMING WILL BRING CLOUDS IN DURING
BETTER SUNSHINE WHICH MAY BREAK INTO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AS A
RESULT. HAVE GRIDS WITH BETTER CLOUD COVER AT NOON THEN DIMINISHING
INTO THE AFTERNOON. TEMPS IN THE 50S EXPECTED MOST AREAS...WITH
PERHAPS A FEW OF THE EASTERN COUNTIES HOLDING ON NEAR THE 60 MARK
BEFORE FALLING LATER TODAY.

OVERNIGHT LOWS ALSO COMPLICATED BY CLOUD COVER...AS SFC HIGH
PRESSURE CENTER SETTLES OVER NE KS DURING PEAK RADIATION AL COOLING
HOURS. SOURCE AIR MASS IS CURRENTLY CLEAR UNDER THE HIGH
CENTER...WITH STRATUS OUT AHEAD AND JUST BEHIND. WILL KEEP GRIDS
NEAR FREEZING WITH CAVEAT THAT MODELS HAVE UNDERDONE COOLING THESE
PAST FEW CLEAR CALM NIGHTS...AND FROST/FREEZE ADVISORY OR WARNING
MAY BE NEEDED IF CLOUD COVER CLEARS OUT. FOR NOW WILL START WITH A
FROST ADVISORY ALL AREAS AND LET DAY SHIFT WATCH SHORT TERM TRENDS
AND UPGRADE OR NOT AS THEY SEE FIT.

WARMUP ON SUNDAY MAY BE SLOW AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES EAST. WESTERN
ZONES MAY CLIMB LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AS SOUTHERLY WINDS RETURN.
UPPER FLOW TRANSITIONS FROM NORTHWESTERLY TO WESTERLY AS
SHORTWAVES TRAVERSE THE CANADIAN BORDER. THIS WILL BRING WARM
OVERNIGHT LOWS INTO MONDAY AND HIGHS NEAR 70 ON TUESDAY.

WED-FRI...FRONT STILL PROGGED TO MOVE IN ON WED...TODAYS GUIDANCE A
BIT FASTER THAN YTDYS. COULD LEAVE US COOLER FOR THURSDAY AND INTO
FRIDAY. MADE NO CHANGES AT THIS TIME. 67

.AVIATION...

THE LEADING EDGE OF A WEAK COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO PUSH
SOUTHEAST THROUGH MHK AND SHOULD BE NEAR OR JUST THROUGH TOP AND FOE
BY 12Z.  11-3.9 SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATING A NARROW BAND OF STRATA
CU BEHIND THIS BOUNDARY.  CLOUDS ARE IN THE 4-8 KFT RANGE...SO VFR
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED IF THIS BAND HOLDS TOGETHER THIS MORNING.
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER TAF SITES BY THE END OF THE
PERIOD BRINGING NORTHERLY WINDS TO LIGHT AND VARIABLE AFTER SUNSET.
MODELS INDICATE SOME WEAK ISENTROPIC LIFT IN THE MID LEVELS OVER THE
CWA OVERNIGHT...WHICH MAY PREVENT FOG FROM DEVELOPING IF MID TO
UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS FILL IN.  AT THIS TIME ISENTROPIC LIFT LOOKS
RELATIVELY WEAK WITH HIGH PRESSURE CONDENSATION DEFICITS...SO WILL
PLACE A MENTION OF MVFR FOG IN THE TAF AND MHK FORECASTS IN THE
RIVER VALLEY LATE IN THE 12Z FORECAST.
