.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 528 AM CST Wed Dec 24 2025

Dense fog is affecting the KC metro terminals this morning and
is expected to continue (with potentially some variations
between MVFR, IFR, LIFR, and VLIFR) through at least 15z and
perhaps as late as 18z before VSBYs improve to VFR. CIGs may
have more trouble improving, perhaps taking most of the day
before becoming VFR. Confidence with timing of the changes in
categories is low, especially after 16z. Any VFR that can
develop late this afternoon or early this evening is expected to
deteriorate again as another round of low clouds and/or fog
develops. Restrictions are likely most of the night, especially
after 03z. East to southeast winds 5 to 10 kt will become south
or southwest this afternoon, but will slacken and become
variable quickly near/after 23z. Given the low-confidence
forecast, expect several TAF amendments today.
