.AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Pretty tricky forecast over the next 24hrs with smoke and low
visibility being the main impacts across the region. The GOES19
satellite has had a malfunction and is offline for the
foreseeable future. This greatly impacts our forecast as we can
only track smoke through observations upstream and now have to
rely heavily on HRRR model data for visibility impacts across
the area. Thinking is that smoke is going to start to reduce
visibility this morning, with heavy smoke moving in late in the
morning through much of the afternoon, where visibilities could
drop down to 1-2sm. These readings are occurring across 
portions of the Great Lakes and south central Canada, and we 
expect this smoke to move into our area today and bring similar 
conditions. Visibilities should become VFR again during the 
evening hours and lasting into the overnight. 

One caveat is guidance is showing some strong signals for IFR/LIFR
ceilings at RME tonight. Without access to the satellite to 
track this, we are going to rely on model data and have included
this in TAF.


Outlook:

Thursday night through Friday... Wildfire smoke is expected, but  
density is still uncertain at this time. MVFR visibility could be
possible.

Saturday and Sunday...Scattered showers and thunderstorms with 
associated restrictions possible.

Monday...Mainly VFR.
