AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 614 PM CDT THU MAY 23 2013

WILL HAVE TO MONITOR LOW LEVEL RH ONCE AGAIN FOR THE DEVELOPMENT
OF MVFR CIGS EARLY FRI MORNING. CONFIDENCE IS LOW SINCE THE RAP
HAS BEEN TRENDING DRIER IN THE LOW LEVELS. OPTED TO MAINTAIN FROM
THE PREV FORECAST A MENTION OF MVFR CIGS AT MHK SINCE THE NAM AND
GFS SHOW SOME LOW LEVEL RH ROTATING UP THROUGH CENTRAL KS WITH THE
LOW LEVEL JET. GOOD MOISTURE AND THETA-E ADVECTION THROUGH THE DAY
FRIDAY COULD LEAD TO SOME ELEVATED SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS
CENTRAL KS. THIS COULD IMPACT MHK SO INSERTED A MENTION OF VCSH.
