Issued at 1240 AM CDT Sun Jun 16 2024 VFR conditions will prevail through the entire TAF period. SW`ly winds will pick up a bit today after 18Z with speeds at 10-15 kts and gusts up to 20-25 kts, especially at SGF and JLN. Cumulus clouds at 5 kft will also likely develop at this time. Otherwise, skies will be mostly clear with a few high clouds. There is a very low chance (<15%) that an isolated shower or thunderstorm could develop, especially near SGF and BBG. Confidence is too low to mention in the TAFs as a PROB30 at this time.
