Weather forecasting for aviation is an extremely important, yet challenging task. Meteorologists at the local 博体育 Weather Forecast Office, located roughly halfway between Milwaukee and Madison, routinely issue terminal aerodrome forecasts (TAFs) for six airports in south central and southeast Wisconsin. TAFs are simply a 24- to 30- hour surface forecast for a five nautical mile radius around an airport, and include wind speed/direction, visibility, ceiling height and weather in a concise format.
The six airports are:
General Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee (MKE)
Dane County Regional Airport (Truax Field) in Madison (MSN)
Waukesha County Airport (Crites Field) in Waukesha (UES)
Kenosha Regional Airport in Kenosha (ENW)
Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport near Janesville (JVL)
Sheboygan County Memorial Airport near Sheboygan (SBM)
In addition, the aviation forecasters continuously monitor the current weather conditions and issue amendments to the TAFs as new forecast information becomes available.
