.AVIATION...
FOR THE 28/12Z TAFS...LATEST RADAR IMAGES INDICATE SCATTERED AREAS
OF PRECIP OCCURRING ACROSS THE AREA. LOWEST LVLS OF THE ATMOSPHERE
ARE QUITE DRY AND MUCH OF THIS PRECIP IS NOT REACHING THE
GROUND. THE FEW REPORTS WHICH HAVE BEEN RECEIVED SUGGEST SNOW IS
FALLING NORTH OF I-30 BUT A MIX OF FZDZ AND SLEET IS FALLING
FARTHER SOUTH. PRECIP WILL BECOME ALL LIQUID RAIN BY MID MORNING
AS TEMPS RISE ABOVE FREEZING AND RAIN IS EXPECTED TO BECOME
WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA AFTER 01/00Z AND CONTINUING
THROUGH THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD. BULK OF PRECIP SHOULD REMAIN
NORTH AND WEST OF THE TAF SITES UNTIL THIS SECOND ROUND
ARRIVES...WITH THE POSSIBLE EXCEPTION OF KTYR WHICH COULD SEE SOME
PRECIP BEFORE NOON. CONFIDENCE OF PRECIP AFFECTING THE TAF SITES
BEFORE 01/00Z WAS TOO LOW TO WARRANT INCLUDING IT IN THE TAFS AT
THIS TIME.

VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD ALSO PREVAIL UNTIL THE EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT HRS. CIGS/VSBYS SHOULD DETERIORATE INTO AT LEAST THE
MVFR AS RAIN SPREADS ACROSS THE AREA. /09/
