1 warning in force over this field:
- AIRMET TANGO 1W: low-level wind shear (due to air speed loss or gain of 20 knots or more below 2,000 ft above the ground).
Turbulence No turbulence warning in force over this field. AIRMET in force: low-level wind shear (due to air speed loss or gain of 20 knots or more below 2,000 ft above the ground). 1 pilot report of turbulence within 100 nautical miles in the last three hours: light to moderate chop turbulence above 17,000 ft, 86 nm west, 6:32 pm CDT (23:32 UTC). The government's turbulence forecast map ↗
Icing No icing warning in force over this field. No pilot has reported icing within 100 nautical miles in the last three hours. The freezing level is about 14,000 ft (from the winds-aloft temperatures), so icing is possible in cloud above that. The government's icing forecast map ↗

Each designee is placed at the main public airport of the town the FAA lists (or the nearest one to its zip code), so "nearby" means the town, not an exact address. All examiners by state.
