High pressure builds over the area on Monday with lower humidity levels. An upper ridge builds over the region during the middle of the week with continued dry conditions and warmer temps.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1247 PM CDT Sat Apr 18 2026

VFR conditions are expected to prevail through the afternoon and into the early evening hours. Showers, and maybe a few isolated storms, will push into the local area from the west during the late evening hours. Ceilings are expected to lower to MVFR, or possibly IFR, for the overnight hours as this activity pushes eastward. Although rain should remain light enough to maintain VFR visibilities, cannot rule out brief reductions in visibility underneath any storm that manages to develop. VFR conditions should return by the mid to late morning hours. Southwesterly winds will continue through this evening. Winds quickly turn northerly during the overnight hours after a cold front pushes through. Winds behind the front may gust up to 25-30 knots in spots. /96
