WE HAVE SOME PATCHY LOW CLOUDS NEAR THE TAF SITES THIS MORNING,
WITH HEIGHTS AROUND 2000FT. COVERAGE WILL LIKELY FLUCTUATE
BETWEEN FEW AND BKN FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS, BEFORE CIGS
RAISE TO ~5000FT. SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
STARTING AROUND 17Z, WITH THE HIGHEST CHANCE OF IMPACTS TO THE TAF
SITES BETWEEN 18Z AND 23Z. WE'LL SEE A LULL IN THE RAIN CHANCES
OVERNIGHT, BUT WE COULD STILL HAVE A FEW SHOWERS IN THE AREA, SO
WE'VE GONE PRIMARILY WITH PROB30S AND TEMPOS, WITH THE EXCEPTION
OF KBJC WHICH HAS A HIGHER CHANCE OF SEEING RAIN OVERNIGHT.
COVERAGE OF RAIN WILL INCREASE IN THE EARLY TO MID MORNING
TOMORROW. CEILINGS WILL START TO DROP IN THE EVENING TOMORROW,
DROPPING NEAR OR BELOW MVFR BETWEEN 00Z AND 03Z. THEY WILL
CONTINUE TO DECREASE, APPROACHING IFR AROUND 07Z TO 10Z. THERE IS
A CHANCE (20% TO 30%)THAT WE COULD EVEN SEE LIFR CIGS MONDAY
MORNING.

SHOWERS ARE EXITING THE AREA EARLY THIS MORNING BUT WILL
REDEVELOP ONCE AGAIN AND EXPAND THIS MORNING WITH HEATING OF
THE DAY AND EXTRA LIFT FROM APPROACHING STORM SYSTEM. GUSTY
OUTFLOW WINDS IN EXCESS OF 45 MPH WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT NEAR
SHOWERS AND STORMS. AS WE GET FARTHER INTO TONIGHT EXPECT CIGS

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 640 AM CDT SUN MAY 17 2026
DEGRADED AVIATION OPERATIONS ARE LIKELY THROUGH MUCH OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD AT AREA TERMINALS DUE TO EXPANSIVE LOW STRATUS
AND THE THREAT FOR RAIN/THUNDERSTORMS.
FOR LBF: LOW STRATUS WILL LIKELY PERSIST WITH POTENTIAL FOR
FURTHER DEGRADATIONS INCLUDING POSSIBLE IFR/LIFR CIGS OVER THE
NEXT FEW HOURS. A PERIOD OF LIGHT SHOWERS APPEARS POSSIBLE
AROUND MIDDAY WITH BREAKS LIKELY BY MID-AFTERNOON WHEN VFR
CONDITIONS MAY RETURN. LATE TONIGHT, THUNDERSTORMS WILL APPROACH
FROM THE SOUTHWEST BUT MOST NWP GUIDANCE WEAKENS ACTIVITY BEFORE
ARRIVING INTO THE AIRSPACE SO CONFIDENCE IN THE MAGNITUDE OF
IMPACTS IS LOW.
FOR VTN: ONGOING SHOWERS AND WEAK THUNDERSTORMS TO THE WEST OF
THE TERMINAL SHOULD REMAIN LARGELY TO THE WEST. WILL CARRY A
VCSH MENTION THOUGH AS ACTIVITY IS MOVING SOUTHWEST TO
NORTHEAST. WILL ADD A PREVAILING -TSRA MENTION FOR THE LATE
MORNING AND AFTERNOON HOURS AS HRRR GUIDANCE HINTS AS FAIRLY
PERSISTENT ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS/T-STORMS IN THE
AREA THROUGH THE DAY AND TIMING OF BREAKS IS LOW CONFIDENCE. DRY
CONDITIONS SHOULD RETURN TONIGHT AND PERSIST THROUGH THE END OF
THE PERIOD.
