Turbulence No turbulence warning in force over this field. 1 pilot report of turbulence within 100 nautical miles in the last three hours: light to moderate turbulence, at 40,000 ft, 67 nm north, 5:28 pm CDT (22:28 UTC). The government's turbulence forecast map ↗
Icing No icing warning in force over this field. A pilot reported no icing, at 30,000 ft, 89 nm northwest, 5:44 pm CDT (22:44 UTC). 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 ↗
