.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1120 AM CST Wed Dec 21 2022
IFR/LIFR CIGs are expected to rise into low/mid MVFR levels this
afternoon, then fall back into IFR/LIFR levels this evening into
the overnight hours. Patchy light drizzle is possible this
afternoon, but is not expected to impact operations. North to
northeast winds around 10 knots this afternoon will fall into the
5-10 knots range tonight. Where winds fall to light levels, fog
development is possible. Am expecting VSBYs to remain at or above
IFR levels. Winds are expected to increase Thursday ahead of a
strong cold front passage Thursday night. CIGs rising to mid MVFR
levels by the end of the forecast are expected.
