...New AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Sunday)
Issued at 338 AM CDT Sat Apr 26 2025

Some patchy fog formation occurring this morning, but should
remain isolated with only a few locations having dense fog.
We could see a few more locations with dense fog tonight
depending on the cloud cover. Otherwise, there could be some sh/ts
around today but most areas will be dry. The next several days
sh/ts will be few and far between though. No issues expected with
any activity, if able to develop, today. Sunday will show slightly
better chances of rain than today mainly north but temps will
begin to rise and a few 90s could start showing up.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday night through Friday)
Issued at 338 AM CDT Sat Apr 26 2025

We will still remain under a general weakness with mainly diurnally
driven sh/ts through the first part of the week. But by mid week, we
will see strong capping take place with high pressure building over
the area for the remainder of the work week. A cold front is
advertised to move toward the area by next weekend which could
provide some sh/ts for the weekend and we will need to get closer to
that time frame to see how strong this activity will be.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1235 PM CDT Sat Apr 26 2025

Mostly MVFR to VFR cigs still in place across the region. Will
need to monitor radar for short term amendments as isolated storms
are possible this afternoon. Otherwise, the same issues for
tonight is expected with several sites having IFR vis possibly
around sunrise.

.MARINE...
Issued at 338 AM CDT Sat Apr 26 2025

High pressure will be centered directly over or just to the east of
the waters through this fcast which will result in light winds of
around 10 knots and seas of 1 to 3 feet on average. Fog could be
an issue this morning and again tonight on the Miss River but not
expecting issues over warmer waters.
