WINDS HAVE DECREASED ACROSS THE REGION FOR MOST LOCATIONS, AND
MOST SNOW SHOWERS HAVE ALSO BEGUN TO DISSIPATE. KCPR AND
PORTIONS OF CENTRAL WYOMING ARE THE EXCEPTION, WHERE LIGHT SNOW
CONTINUES TO FALL AS TODAY'S WEATHER SYSTEM SLOWLY EXITS TO THE
EAST. EXPECT SNOW TO END AT KCPR DURING THE EARLY AM HOURS.
THE NEXT AVIATION WEATHER CONCERN IS A FEW HOURS OF FOG ON
FRIDAY MORNING, DUE TO THURSDAY'S PRECIPITATION AND CLEARING
SKIES. CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH (ROUGHLY 20%) ON FOG FOR MOST
LOCATIONS, BUT THERE ARE HINTS IN HIGH-RESOLUTION FORECAST
MODELS, AND THE OVERALL PATTERN IS SUPPORTIVE. SO IF YOUR
LOCATION RECEIVED PRECIPITATION OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS, ITS
LIKELY WISE TO PLAN FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF EARLY MORNING
VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS.
AFTER LOWER ATMOSPHERIC MIXING BEGINS SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE (AROUND
22/1400Z), FOG SHOULD QUICKLY DISSIPATE, FOLLOWED BY A
RELATIVELY BENIGN AVIATION WEATHER DAY ON FRIDAY WITH LIGHT
WINDS AND VFR CONDITIONS.

NEBRASKA TERMINALS CONTINUE TO SEE SHOWERS AND A FEW NON-SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS. CAN EXPECT LIFR TO IFR CONDITIONS UNDER SOME OF THE
HEAVIER SHOWERS AND STORMS WITH CIGS BELOW 500 FEET. OUR SYSTEM THAT
HAS BROUGHT US THIS ACTIVE WEATHER OVER THE LAST 12 HOURS WILL
DEPART AND LINGERING SHOWERS SHOULD BE OVER BY 10Z, WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF KCDR WHICH MAY STILL HAVE SOME COVERAGE UNTIL 14Z,
HENCE THE INTRODUCTION OF PROB30S. WINDS OUT OF THE NW WILL PICK UP
IN THE POST-FRONTAL AIR MASS, WITH GUSTS AS HIGH AS 35 KNOTS, MAINLY
FOR THE NEBRASKA TERMINALS AND KCYS.

MVFR/IFR POSSIBLE CONDITIONS IN THE 09-15Z TIME FRAME DUE TO LOW
CLOUDS THAT MAY LINGER THROUGH ABOUT 15 TO 18Z, IN WHICH WE
SHOULD RETURN VFR THEREAFTER. WINDS WILL BE OUT OF THE SOUTH IN
THE 10-15 KT RANGE FOR THE MOST PART. 14-18Z WINDS WILL SHIFT OUT
OF THE NORTH TO NORTHEAST AT ALL TAF SITES. PROB30S NOTED AROUND
21Z FOR THUNDERSTORMS. RIGHT NOW THE BEST CHANCES LOOK TO BE AT
KAMA, BUT KDHT AND KGUY STILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL.
