AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 1038 PM MST TUE JAN 6 2026
VFR THROUGH WEDNESDAY, WITH CHANCES FOR MFVR/IFR CONDITIONS
GRADUALLY INCREASING WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. IT LOOKS AS IF
WE'RE ON OUR LAST PUFF OR TWO OF WESTERLY WINDS THIS EVENING, AND
DRAINAGE WINDS SHOULD PREVAIL MOST OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
WEDNESDAY SHOULD FEATURE A MORE TYPICAL DIURNAL WIND PATTERN, WITH
LIGHT EASTERLY WINDS DEVELOPING DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS.
WINDS ARE LITTLE LESS CERTAIN WEDNESDAY EVENING INTO WEDNESDAY
NIGHT, AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE TERMINALS. AT THIS POINT IT
LOOKS LIKE ANY WIND SHIFT WOULD HOLD OFF UNTIL AFTER 06Z THURSDAY
AND MAY BE CLOSER TO 12Z THURSDAY. GUIDANCE GENERALLY STARTS
DROPPING CEILINGS OVERNIGHT WEDNESDAY NIGHT, WITH LOWER CEILINGS
LIKELY THURSDAY MORNING ALONG WITH INCREASING CHANCES FOR SNOW.

VFR CONDITIONS AND LIGHT, TERRAIN-DRIVEN WINDS SHOULD DOMINATE
TONIGHT. HOWEVER, THERE IS STILL AN OUTSIDE CHANCE OF SOME FOG
DEVELOPMENT LATER TONIGHT. PROBABILITIES ARE TOO LOW TO INCLUDE
IN TAF'S RIGHT NOW THOUGH. AHEAD OF ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM, LOOK
FOR DENSER CLOUD COVER (GENERALLY AT OR ABOVE 10,000 FEET) TO
BEGIN MOVING IN LATE TOMORROW MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON. A
SLIGHT POTENTIAL FOR SNOW SHOWERS BEGINS AT KTEX, KDRO, AND KHDN
JUST BEFORE SUNSET TOMORROW, BUT THE MOST ACTIVE WEATHER IS
EXPECTED BEYOND THE TAF PERIOD.
