Aviation weather will be good today with widespread VFR flight category and a light west-northwesterly wind. Another storm system will approach from the west this evening, and widespread rain (and a thunderstorm or two) will develop across southwest Kansas toward the end of this TAF period late tonight/early Thursday morning. This will be a quick-moving system, so the period of rain will likely last less than 9 hours or so at any one location.
