.AVIATION...
Cluster of storms, producing heavy rain (lightning and reduced
visibility) around the Hobby and Sugarland terminals will last
for another hour or two. Do expect all precip to taper off fairly
quickly with the loss of heating. VFR conditions for the remainder
of the evening. But with wet ground from todays precip, along with
light wind and mclr skies, would anticipate some fog to develop.
Confidence on timing/location/significance isn`t all that high but
initial thoughts are reflected in the TAFs. Suspect they may need
to be amended to be more pessimistic if anything. Otherwise, not
quite as much available moisture is expected on Tue compared to
today. So although we`ll probably see some sct tstms with daytime
heating, areal coverage probably won`t be as widespread. Similar
pattern should exist going into midweek. 47
