A SHALLOW COLD AIR MASS WILL BACK INTO THE AREA OVERNIGHT FROM
NEBRASKA. SURFACE WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHEAST, AND
ALTHOUGH WIND SPEEDS WILL BE LIGHT IT IS AN IDEAL UPSLOPE
DIRECTION. MODELS SHOW EXTENSIVE LOW CLOUDS DEVELOPING BEHIND
THIS FRONT FRIDAY MORNING. IN ADDITION, SOME PATCHY FOG AND
FREEZING FOG MAY ALSO DEVELOP ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF THE
FRONT. ANY FOG WILL BURN OFF BY MID TO LATE MORNING, BUT THE
CEILINGS WILL BE SLOWER TO LIFT. A RETURN TO VFR SHOULD OCCUR AT
KGLD IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON, BUT AT KMCK THE CEILINGS WILL
PERSIST WELL INTO THE AFTERNOON, IF NOT THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF
THE TAF PERIOD.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 1133 PM CST THU DEC 11 2025
A WIND SHIFT TO THE NORTH-NORTHEAST WILL BE OCCURRING EARLY IN
THIS TAF PERIOD (ALREADY SHIFTED TO THE NNE AT HYS), AS A WEAK
COLD FRONT USHERS IN COOLER AIR. UPSTREAM OBSERVATIONS WERE
SHOWING MVFR FLIGHT CATEGORY DUE TO STRATUS IN THE 2000-3000
FOOT LAYER ACROSS CENTRAL NEBRASKA, AND HREF ENSEMBLE
PROBABILITIES SHOW HIGH ENOUGH PROBS OF MVFR CEILING REACHING
HYS LATE MORNING TO INCLUDE IN THE TAF, BUT THIS IS THE ONLY
TERMINAL WE WILL BRING DOWN TO MVFR AT THIS TIME. BKN-OVC
STRATUS MAY REACH GCK AND DDC BEFORE SCATTERING OUT MIDDAY, SO
WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
