..Early Week System
Another low tracking through southern Canada will bring chances for precipitation as a warm front swings through. The WAA regime will foster a light area of snow/wintry mix Monday afternoon. The highest chances right now are along and north of US Highway 2, but if the low were to take a slightly further south track, these higher chances would likely spread as far south as the I94 corridor. No surprise being in the WAA regime, soundings show a warm nose with temperatures aloft above freezing, which will likely complicate precipitation types on the systems southern edge. This will likely not be the only system this week to pose a precipitation type challenge, as conceptually, each system that passes through looks to have a similar setup with broad WAA providing the best chance of precip being most of these lows appear to track north of our FA, or at least across our northern FA. Therefore, the idea of wintry mix might be a common theme with each passing wave this week, at least for portions of the FA.
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY/
Issued at 1122 AM CST Sun Dec 21 2025
VFR conditions prevail at all sites through the TAF period. Look for southerly winds to continue this afternoon, generally at or below 10 knots. There is a low chance for fog tonight around KDVL, with otherwise low impact potential across much of the area.
