AVIATION

18z Discussion...

MVFR conditions or worse are expected across the region for most of the forecast period. Low CIGs will persist through the afternoon giving way to SHRA and TSRA this evening. TEMPO groups were included in most TAFs during the timeframe most likely to see thunderstorms. While strong winds are not expected over a large area, if a storm goes directly over any terminal there could be some gusty winds in the 30 kts range.

SHRA will decrease in coverage overnight giving way to a combination of fog and low ceilings. Conditions may change abruptly, quickly, and repeatedly across all sites between 06z and 15z ranging between MVFR and LIFR in both CIGs and VIS. While winds will generally be light (less than 10 kts) the wind direction may change frequently as well. Conditions will slowly improve into the day Saturday.

Mountains will be partially to fully obscured through the entire period. WMR
