.AVIATION...

SKIES ARE RAPIDLY CLEARING LATE THIS MORNING AND WILL CONTINUE TO
DO SO THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. HAVE HIGH CLOUDS CLEARING OUT
ACCORDINGLY THROUGH THAT TIME AS AN UPPER DISTURBANCE AND
ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD FRONT MOVE THROUGH THE AREA.
HOWEVER...WILL MAINTAIN A VFR DECK BETWEEN 4-6K FT AGL AT KHRO
AND KBPK AS VIS SAT IMAGERY SHOWS AN EXPANDING STRATOCU DECK
STREAMING SOUTH THROUGH ERN KANSAS AND WRN MISSOURI. WILL KEEP AN
EYE ON THIS TO SEE IF ANY CTRL OR SRN SITES NEED TO BE AMENDED TO
INCLUDE THESE CIGS...BUT FOR NOW WILL GO WITH SKC THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WINDS SHOULD ALSO BECOME GUSTY OUT OF THE
WEST AT MOST SITES OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS AND HOLD THERE
THROUGH EARLY EVENING FOR MOST ALL SITES. OTHERWISE THE ONLY OTHER
CONCERN IS THAT MODELS SHOW MVFR CIGS SPREADING SOUTH INTO NRN
SITES OVERNIGHT. THIS SEEMS REASONABLE LOOKING AT OBS IN NRN
MISSOURI SO HAVE INCLUDED THESE AT KHRO AND KBPK BEGINNING AT 06Z
TONIGHT.
