.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 209 PM CST Tue Jan 13 2026

Western Kansas will be under northwest flow aloft with a series of
shortwaves moving down through this flow throughout the week. Winds
will generally be from a westerly direction through this evening
before the first piece of energy moves through. Winds then shift to
the north as a weak cold front moves through the area. No
precipitation is expected with only an increase in mid to upper
level clouds. The only exception to this will be across our northern
zones where a few sprinkles will be possible through midnight.
Breezy northerly winds are expected behind this cold front and may
gust to around 30 mph. A few high clouds hang around tomorrow with
continued north winds gusting to over 30 mph in the morning. As for
temperatures, lows tonight will dip into the 30s with highs tomorrow
in the 40s. Lows tomorrow night will dip into the 20s.

The remainder of the forecast looks to remain dry with another weak
disturbance moving through the area Thursday afternoon and again
Friday afternoon. Only a slight increase in cloud cover is expected
with these two cold fronts with mostly clear skies in between.
Breezy conditions are expected Friday but as of now no where close
to high wind criteria. Currently the NBM have probabilities of wind
gusts over 45 mph over 40 percent north of Highway 50 with the
highest probabilities across Northwest Kansas into western
Nebraska. Temperatures throughout this period will start out
with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s Thursday before being
knocked back down into the 40s to around 50 degrees Friday into
this weekend. We then return into the 50s early next week. Lows
will generally be in the 20s with upper teens Sunday morning.
