.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 236 PM CST Sun Dec 28 2025

Dynamic and exceptionally cold upper low over NE/IA will drop 
ESE as the sfc low over WI/MI continues to sit in place aiding 
in continued gusty northwest winds tonight and into at least 
Monday morning. The snow associated with the steep lapse rates 
and 800-600mb frontogenic forcing is finally coming to an end 
from west to east and should end all areas by 5 or 6pm. Lows 
tonight should be colder than guidance and along with expected 
winds have dropped both air temps and wind chills too given 
current conds across NE. Some cloudiness may drop back into 
northeast KS overnight but most spots should see clearing this 
evening through the night.

Cold on Monday with highs below freezing but warming back up
Tuesday and beyond with another polar high glancing the area
Thursday but conds should remain dry in the WNW flow aloft. No
major storms in sight at least through the week into the weekend
at this point.
