.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1256 PM CDT Tue May 7 2024

Cigs have lifted/become low VFR across the region early this
afternoon to start the 18Z TAF period, with some scattering of
these cigs expected by mid and late afternoon across E TX/N LA/SW
AR, which should linger through much of the evening. However, low
MVFR cigs are expected to redevelop by mid to late evening over
Deep E TX and Cntrl LA, spreading N to encompass the remainder of
the region between 06-09Z. In fact, IFR cigs are possible
overnight across the region, with a return of MVFR cigs expected
by mid-morning, and VFR not returning until the end of the TAF
period. Isolated to scattered convection may develop over
portions of extreme NE TX into SW AR late this evening through a
portion of the overnight hours, but low confidence precludes
mention in the TXK/ELD TAF`s attm. SSW winds 8-12kts this
afternoon, with occasional gusts to 20kts, will become S and
diminish to 6-10kts after 00Z. /15/
