KCOS, KPUB, AND KALS: VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 24
HOURS. WINDS WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY LIGHT, LESS THAN 10 KNOTS,
OVERNIGHT AND INTO EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. BY MID TO LATE MORNING,
WINDS WILL START TO INCREASE IN MAGNITUDE AS DIURNAL MIXING
DEVELOPS, AND PEAK DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS, WITH GUSTS UP TO 40
KNOTS POSSIBLE, PARTICULARLY FOR KALS. IN ADDITION, BLOWING DUST MAY
ALSO BE POSSIBLE TOMORROW AFTERNOON AS THE STRONGEST WINDS
MATERIALIZE, WHICH COULD QUICKLY DROP VISIBILITY CONDITIONS.
OTHERWISE, DRY CONDITIONS WITH POCKETS OF HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS
CONTINUE.

AFTERNOON WITH PROB30 GROUPS DIMINISHING AFTER 04Z OUTSIDE OF
JAC EVEN THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE NEXT ROUND WILL BE
INTO THE NEXT TAF CYCLE FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON. MVFR CONDITIONS
MAY EXIST WITH STORM/SHOWER ACTIVITY ON STATION WITH MOUNTAIN
OBSCURATION EVIDENT FOR MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON/EVENING
TIMEFRAME.

VFR CONDITIONS WITH NO PRECIPITATION EXPECTED UNTIL THE NEXT
TAF CYCLE FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE WIND
INCREASING AFTER 16Z AHEAD OF FROPA. HIGHEST WIND SPEEDS AT
CPR/RIW UP TO 40KTS, 35KTS AT COD/LND/WRL. THESE WINDS WILL
DIMINISH SOME AFTER 03Z ABOUT 10-15KTS LESS THAN THE PEAK

AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 522 AM CDT WED APR 22 2026
A LOW BANK OF CLOUD CURRENTLY IS SPREAD ACROSS MUCH OF THE CENTRAL
AND EASTERN PANHANDLES. THIS CLOUD DECK IS CAUSING MVFR CONDITIONS
AT KAMA THAT WILL PERSIST UNTIL AFTER SUNRISE. THEN THE CLOUD BANK
WILL DISSIPATE WITH VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE REST OF THE TAF PERIOD.
THIS AFTERNOON THERE IS A LOW CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO FORM OFF
A DRY LINE IN THE CENTRAL PANHANDLES. THE CHANCE FOR ANY
THUNDERSTORM TO IMPACT ANY TERMINAL IS TO LOW TO BE REFLECTED IN
THE TAFS. GUSTY SOUTHERLY TO SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL OCCUR FOR
LATER THIS MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THE WINDS WILL THEN
WEAKEN GOING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AT ALL TERMINALS. THIS
BRINGS THE RISK OF OVERNIGHT SPEED LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR TO ALL
TERMINALS. HOWEVER THE STRONGER SHEAR WILL MOST LIKELY BE EAST OF
THE TERMINALS SO IT IS NOT INCLUDED WITH THE CURRENT TAFS.
