THROUGH AROUND 12Z FRIDAY. KBPI AND KPNA ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL
VFR, AND THOUGH BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON

A GUSTY WEST WIND TODAY, WITH THE BEST CHANCES FOR MVFR SNOW IMPACTS
NOT COMING UNTIL AROUND 12Z. VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT ALL
TERMINALS BY 18Z AS THE SYSTEM PULLS AWAY, THOUGH ADDITIONAL
MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS WILL LEAD TO CONTINUED MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS
THROUGH SUNSET FRIDAY.

AN INCOMING SYSTEM WILL BRING MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS TO MOST
TERMINALS EAST OF THE DIVIDE THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THE BEST
CHANCES EARLIER IN THE PERIOD WILL BE AT KCOD THIS AFTERNOON,
FOLLOWED BY KWRL. OTHERWISE WIDESPREAD IMPACTS WILL GENERALLY HOLD

A STORM SYSTEM WILL BE PUSHING IN AND IMPACTING ALL TERMINALS AT

OR A SN/RA MIX FOR THE SOUTHEAST WYOMING SITES AND RA ACROSS THE
NEBRASKA PANHANDLE. AS WE PROGRESS INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, ALL THE
PRECIPITATION WILL BECOME SN AND FLIGHT CATEGORIES WILL VARY FROM
MVFR TO IFR, SOME OF THE TERMINALS MAY SEE LIFR CONDITIONS, A BIG
REASON FOR THIS WILL THE POTENTIAL FOR BLSN. THE TWO SITES THAT MAY
ESCAPE LIFR CONDITIONS IS KRWL AND KLAR AS WINDS MAY NOT BE AS
STRONG. CONDITIONS AT THE TAIL END OF THIS TAF PERIOD WILL BEGIN TO
IMPROVE AS THE AFOREMENTIONED SYSTEM EXITS THE REGION.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 535 PM CST THU MAR 5 2026
VFR CONDITIONS CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS THIS EVENING
ACROSS SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA, WITH VFR CONDITIONS LASTING INTO THE
MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT ACROSS NORTHERN NEBRASKA. OVERNIGHT, LOWER
CEILINGS BEGIN TO TRACK ACROSS THE REGION FROM THE SOUTH, BRINGING
LOWERED CEILINGS AND DROPPING CONDITIONS TO MVFR AND IFR. WITH
CALMER WINDS OVERNIGHT, EXPECTING THAT FOG REDEVELOPS ACROSS
SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA, THE SANDHILLS, AND INTO NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA,
BRINGING VISIBILITY REDUCTIONS, AND POTENTIAL LIFR CONDITIONS. WINDS
SHIFT TO THE NORTH BY LATE EARLY MORNING, BECOMING QUITE GUSTY AHEAD
OF A COLD FRONT. ALONG WITH THE COLD FRONT, MIXED PRECIPITATION IS
EXPECTED, POTENTIALLY BRINGING A LIGHT GLAZE OF ICE BEFORE A
TRANSITION TO SNOW.

BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH SUNSET,

AREAS OF THE STATE THROUGH THE DAY FRIDAY. THIS FRONT WILL BRING
GUSTY WINDS FROM THE WEST NORTHWEST ALONG WITH A SMATTERING OF

REDUCTIONS TO CEILINGS OR VISIBILITY WILL TYPICALLY BE BRIEF AND
TEMPORARY, BUT A FEW LOCALIZED AREAS IN THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS AND
NEARBY HIGHLANDS OF NORTH CENTRAL TO NORTHWESTERN NEW MEXICO COULD
SEE MVFR CONDITIONS (CEILINGS AT OR BELOW 3,000 FT AND/OR
VISIBILITY AT OR BELOW 5 MILES) FOR A COUPLE TO A FEW HOURS. MUCH
