Updated aviation discussion for 00z TAFs.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1200 PM CDT Sun Sep 27 2026

No modeling has captured the extent of the clouds and spotty sprinkles over a sliver of our western-third of the FA yesterday or today. Nevertheless, the main theme of pleasantly cool and dry 70s/50s will hold thru Monday. The strength of hold of high pressure loosens Tuesday as near surface flow shifts from the reinforcing cool northeasterlies to warmer advecting southerlies, leading to a marked warmup for the back half of the week. We'll be into summer-like 80s/60s by Wednesday, with daily rain chances reappearing by Thursday, and continuing into next weekend. This wetter pattern may yield appreciable cumulative rainfall measured in 3 decimals instead of 2, and at least a chance of thunderstorms appears poised to return to the forecast picture by week's end; that's when a cold front makes approach and passage, leading to another cooldown into the 70s heading into the weekend.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY/

Issued at 549 PM CDT Sun Sep 27 2026

Persistent SCT-BKN mid and high cloud that has been streaming across the region should gradually erode through the night and into Monday morning leaving behind mainly clear skies through the day. Can't rule out some patchy fog overnight given the calm winds and general clearing trend. However, the dry column in place in the low levels should tend to negate widespread fog formation.
