AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY/

Issued at 402 AM CST Mon Nov 9 2026

A surface boundary/weak cold front will cross southwest Kansas between 21z today and 03z Tuesday. As this boundary passes the southwest winds at around 10 knots today will shift to the northwest. VFR conditions can be expected through at least 09z Tuesday. After 09z Tuesday several of the models are starting to hint at areas of fog to be possible given light north/northeast winds developing toward daybreak Tuesday morning. At this time given the low probability (<30% chance from REFS) that late in the forecast period have opted to leave mention of fog out of the 12z TAFS.
