...New AVIATION...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 901 PM CDT Thu Apr 25 2024

Axis of the upper level ridge sits directly overhead of the Four
State Region this evening as upper level cirrus flows eastward
across east Texas, embedded in the upper ascent across central
Texas. This will prevail some cloud coverage through the overnight
as temperatures have fallen into the mid to upper 70`s. Little to
no adjustments needed in this update outside of adjusting hourlies
to match latest trends and removing some low end PoPs over the
next hour or so.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 100 AM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024

MVFR cigs have begun to develop across E TX to begin the 06Z TAF
period, with these cigs expected to develop farther E into Wrn
LA/SW AR during the overnight hours. ELD/MLU should remain VFR
through at least 12Z, before MVFR cigs develop after daybreak.
Should see a gradual improvement to cigs by late morning/early
afternoon, with VFR cigs returning areawide. However, scattered
to numerous areas of convection are expected to spread into
portions of NE TX/SE OK/SW AR by late morning to early afternoon,
primarily affecting the TYR/GGG/TXK terminals, before possibly
affecting SHV by late afternoon. This convection should diminish
during the evening, with MVFR cigs expected to develop by mid to
late evening over Deep E TX/Cntrl LA, and quickly spread N across
E TX/N LA by the end of the TAF period, and into SW AR after 06Z
Saturday. These cigs will persist through mid to late morning
Saturday before lifting/returning to VFR. SSE winds 5-10kts
overnight, except 10-15kts with occasional higher gusts over E TX,
will increase to 12-20kts with gusts to 30kts after 15Z. /15/
