AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1146 AM CDT MON JUN 1 2026
A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS IS FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH THE TERMINALS
AT THE START OF THE TAF PERIOD. VFR CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR UNTIL
THIS LINE REACHES THE TERMINAL WHEN VISIBILITY AND CEILINGS DROP
DOWN TO MVFR FROM THE STRONG THUNDERSTORMS. ADDED A TEMPO TO
ACCOUNT FOR GUSTY WINDS TO 30 KNOTS, BUT IF STORMS DO INTENSIFY
THE WINDS COULD BE STRONGER. AMENDMENTS MAY BE NEEDED. ONCE THE
LINE PASSES THROUGH A GRADUAL RETURN TO VFR CONDITIONS IS
EXPECTED. RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE SOME LOW LEVEL CLOUDS MOVE IN
EARLY TOMORROW MORNING, BUT COVERAGE SHOULD BE SCATTERED KEEPING
VFR CONDITIONS. HOWEVER, IF THESE CLOUDS DO NOT MOVE IN THEN THERE
IS A LOW CHANCE OF DENSE FOG DEVELOPMENT.
