(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1250 PM CDT Sat Apr 13 2024
Aside from some thin cirrus which may affect portions of E TX/Srn
AR/N LA this afternoon, VFR conditions will continue through the
evening and at least a portion of the overnight hours. However, a
SSWrly LLJ will result in the development of some MVFR cigs over
ECntrl TX after 08Z Saturday, which may affect the E TX terminals
after 10Z. While these cigs may briefly affect portions of NW
LA/extreme SW AR after 12Z, they should scatter quickly, but may
linger a bit longer through much of the morning over E TX before
eventually scattering out during the afternoon. A scattered cu
field should eventually develop/spread NE into SCntrl AR by late
morning, and across the remainder of N LA during the afternoon. A
tightening pressure gradient will result in more wind than what
has been observed the last couple of days, with S winds 7-13kts
this afternoon, and gusts to 20-25kts over E TX/extreme Wrn LA.
Winds will diminish slightly to 5-10kts after 00Z, although a bit
higher 10-15kts over the Wrn sections of E TX. /15/
