.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1145 PM CST Fri Mar 6 2026

Winds have increased somewhat after sundown, which was not
expected. Winds should come down thru sunrise with a steady
increase thereafter and fall after 20z. The strongest gusts this
forecast period, away from any storms, will be from roughly 13 to
20z. Wind speeds will diminish after 18z as the responsible jet
leaves the region quickly.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop over terminals
from mid day onward in response to the approaching front. There is
some split in confidence if cells will develop in the afternoon
along I-10 before the front arrives in the evening. There is a
high enough confidence to include prob30s for TS in this time
frame before the big slug of showers and storms arrive with the
front late in the evening. Greatest hazards with strong storms
will be very large hail, heavy downpours and damaging wind gusts.
