AVIATION

12z Discussion...

VFR conditions to start the day will slowly transition into widespread MVFR by 21z as snow moves into the area. Flight categories across all sites may vary between VFR and IFR starting at 18z and continuing through the period, however, it does appear that MVFR will prevail. After 15z all winds should remain under 20kts across the region. At KBIL expect winds to slowly shift from SW to NW by 20z. For KBIL/KSHR prepare for possible IFR conditions after 00z and remaining through the period. The heaviest snow during this timeframe is forecast for KRED. Mountains will be obscured for the entire forecast period. WMR
