.DISCUSSION...

AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 626 PM CDT TUE MAY 21 2013

MAIN CONCERN FOR THE TAFS IS WHETHER SOME MVFR CIGS BETWEEN 2 AND 3
KFT MOVE FAR ENOUGH SOUTH TO GET INTO THE TERMINALS. IF IT DOES IT
LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD BE DURING THE MID MORNING HOURS. CONFIDENCE IS
LOW WITH RAP AND NAM RH PROGS JUST CLIPPING THE TERMINALS WITH THE
HIGHER RH...SO HAVE KEPT A VFR FORECAST AT THIS TIME.
