That is cause your IAS/CAS changes as well with a shear of wind velocity and direction!!
Imagine that you are indicate 160 kts with a 20 kts head and all of the sudden wind now it is 10 kts head? what will be your IAS/CAS? (relative airflow) IAS decrease TAS decrease GS decrease!
IAS increase or decrease affects TAS correct? TAS is based of IAS /CAS corrected for temp/alt(Density).
Hope i helped
