MIDLEVEL CLOUDINESS WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD THIS MORNING AS A

WINDS INTO THE EAST.
HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE OVER THE
REGION FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS WILL SHIFT
INTO THE EAST OR SOUTHEAST FOR THE HIGH PLAINS TERMINALS, AND REMAIN

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY/
ISSUED AT 501 AM MDT MON APR 6 2026
FOR KGLD... VFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST THROUGH THE PERIOD. A
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO PUSH NEAR/OVER THE TERMINAL
AS THE DAY GOES ON. THIS MAY ALLOW FOR A BRIEF PERIOD DURING THE
MORNING WHERE WINDS REACH 15 KTS OR HIGHER, BUT SHOULD LOWER
BACK TO AROUND 10 KTS. AFTER 00Z, WINDS ARE FORECAST TO REACH 20
KTS AND GUST UP TO 35 KTS. THERE IS A 10% POSSIBILITY OF
CEILINGS LOWERING BELOW 2000FT AS SOME MOISTURE TRIES TO MOVE IN
FROM THE NORTH.
FOR KMCK... VFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST THROUGH 06Z. WINDS
SHOULD PICK UP WITHIN A FEW HOURS AND NEAR SPEEDS OF 20 KTS.
THIS EVENING, WINDS COULD STRENGTHEN A BIT MORE TO AROUND 25
GUST 35 KTS FOR A BIT. BUT AS WE GET CLOSER TO 06Z, THERE IS A
40% CHANCE THAT LOW LEVEL CLOUDS BEGIN TRYING TO MOVE OVER THE
TERMINAL. IF THEY DO MOVE IN, HEIGHTS COULD LOWER TO AROUND
500FT. FOG MAY ALSO FORM.
DODGE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1058 UTC MONDAY, APRIL 6, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY/
ISSUED AT 555 AM CDT MON APR 6 2026
STRONG SOUTH-SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP TODAY AND WILL REMAIN
IN PLACE THROUGH THE DAY AND EARLY EVENING. EXPECT SUSTAINED
WINDS AT GCK, DDC, AND LBL IN THE 18 TO 24 KNOT RANGE WITH GUSTS
AROUND 30 KNOTS (AT TIMES AROUND 35 KNOTS). THE DRY SOUTHWEST
WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO RESULT IN WIDESPREAD VFR FLIGHT CATEGORY.
THE HYS TERMINAL WILL BE A LITTLE MORE CHALLENGING AS A SLOW
MOVING COLD FRONT APPROACHES LATE IN THE DAY. A WIND SHIFT TO
THE EAST OR EAST-NORTHEAST IS EXPECTED AT HYS EARLY IN THE
EVENING (MOST LIKELY AROUND SUNSET).
