Gusty winds and heavy rainfall will briefly bring CIGs to IFR for short durations through the early morning hours of Saturday. MVFR ceilings will remain over most terminals through the morning hours, then lift to VFR with some light afternoon breezes.
AVIATION
(00Z TAFS) Issued at 609 PM CDT Sun Apr 26 2026
East-southeast winds expected through tonight will continue and breezy at times. A look at HREF guidance and BUFKIT soundings around the state show MVFR ceilings moving north into the state late this evening before lifting to VFR around midday. Gusty south winds with gust as high as 25-30 kts possible during the early afternoon hours over parts of eastern and northeast Arkansas. Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are possible tomorrow afternoon and evening across the state, but confidence remains too low to place at any particular TAF site. Hazards in or around thunderstorms will be frequent lightning, large hail, and strong gust winds with a brief drop in visibilities to MVFR/IFR. Otherwise, VFR are expected.
