AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY/

Issued at 1041 PM CDT Mon Jul 27 2026

Decaying -SHRA will be possible over the next few hours. Can't rule out some ground fog overnight. A backdoor cold front will drop through the region on Tuesday with winds turning from westerly to northerly behind it. Could see some gusts up around 15 kts at our northeast terminals during the day. Primary chance for any convection will be across southeast Missouri late afternoon and evening tomorrow, mainly staying southwest of KCGI.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY/

Issued at 547 AM CDT Tue Jul 28 2026

Convection is possible later today with the best chances over southeast Missouri. However the current trends suggest the risk for impacts are too low for TAF mention even at CGI with the new TAF package. A westerly winds will become a little more northwesterly before shifting to the north and eventually north northeast this afternoon and tonight. Prevailing VFR conditions are anticipated outside of any convective impacts.
