.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 221 AM CDT Sun Apr 6 2025

Very dry sub-cloud layer air has allowed the light precipitation to 
sublimate with only a sprinkle or flurry possible early this morning 
across parts of southeast KS before clouds begin to clear from west 
to east as we move through the day. The dense mid clouds have also 
acted like a blanket keeping minimum temperatures above forecast 
values over much of the area but as clouds thin early this morning, 
we could still see a few locations in central KS fall below freezing.

Better chances for sub-freezing air may arrive tomorrow night and a 
freeze watch was issued. For tomorrow night, sfc high pressure will 
settle south across into the Southern Plains which should result in 
much better radiational cooling. There is some concern that moist 
soils and evapotranspiration may keep temperatures from plummeting 
in some locations but better probabilities for a freeze are 
anticipated.

Quite weather is expected to prevail through much if not all of the 
upcoming week with moderating temperatures anticipated. A shortwave 
trough passing over the Northern Plains on Wed will drive a frontal 
boundary southward over the area ushering in some slightly cooler 
air on Thu before the mid/upper ridge builds over the area bringing 
rising temperatures late in the week and into the upcoming weekend.
