AVIATION

18z Discussion...

Showers are starting to fill in for areas near KBIL/KSHR and westwards. Out east, near KMLS, SE winds are starting to pick up as some gusts top 20 kts. Both of these trends will continue over the coming hours. There will be two rounds of SHRA/TS this evening after 21z and overnight that move from KLVM through KBIL/KSHR, one is more likely than the other at each site and thus a TEMPO and PROB30 were added for each round respectively. Winds with these storms will be erratic with gusts up to 40 kts possible. Rainfall rates my be briefly heavy which may bring VIS down to MVFR, otherwise all sites should stay VFR. Another round of TS is forecast after 18z Sunday. WMR
