WINDS DURING THE AFTERNOON INTO THE NIGHT TIME HOURS. VFR
CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY THROUGH THE PERIOD AT KCOS AND KPUB
(ALTHOUGH CANNOT RULE OUT A BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR IN ANY PASSING
SHOWERS), HOWEVER KALS WILL SEE A BETTER CHANCE OF MVFR/IFR

AS OF EARLY THIS MORNING, LATEST RADAR AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS
WERE SEEING THE EXPECTED COLD FRONT MOVING A LITTLE AHEAD OF
SCHEDULE WITH CURRENT EXPECTATIONS TO SEE IT AT KGUY AROUND 9:30
TO 10 AM. ONCE BEHIND THE FRONT WINDS AT THE SURFACE WILL LIKELY
INCREASE TO AROUND 15 KT WITH GUSTS UPWARDS OF 25KT. CLOUD COVER
IS ALSO LIKELY TO BE PRESENT, BUT SHOULD STAY ABOVE VFR CRITERIA
THROUGH THE PACKAGE. OTHERWISE, CONCERN ARE SHIFTING TO THIS
EVENING AS CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS INCREASE IN THE EASTERN
PANHANDLES. AT THIS TIME, CONFIDENCE IN IMPACTS TO THE TERMINALS
IS LOW, BUT THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY IN THE CAMS AT HOW FAR
WEST STORMS MAY START.
