Issued at 1205 AM CDT Sun Nov 2 2025 For KGRI/KEAR Airports: High confidence VFR conditions are expected through the period with just some passing high clouds...mainly in the first 6 hours...and good VSBYS throughout. Could see some very marginal LLWS during the early morning hours as a weak LLJ develops across the area by around 02/09Z, but surface winds have already become southerly and they will likely increase to near 10 KTS over the next few hours, limiting the potential for any true LLWS. Winds should then increase a bit further during the daytime hours Sunday as the pressure gradient tightens a bit ahead of a cold front, with a few gusts to 20 KTS+ possible during the afternoon hours. The front will bring a shift to more northerly winds just beyond the current TAF period, although they will likely remain much lighter Monday. && .GID WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NE...None. KS...None. && $$ DISCUSSION...Schuldt AVIATION...Rossi
