DISCUSSION
FOG WAS DISSIPATING AS WERE LOW CLOUDS...ALTHOUGH SLOWLY OVER
PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO AND THE NORTHERN PERMIAN BASIN.
STILL SHOULD SEE MARKED IMPROVEMENT IN THE NEXT HOUR. THINK ONLY
PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES WILL PREVAIL THIS AFTERNOON...BUT WILL STILL
KEEP A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE BIG BEND
REGION TO THE LOWER TRANS PECOS. NOT EXPECTING MUCH AS THE UPPER
TROUGH PROVIDING THE LIFT IS WEAKENING...AND HEADING EAST. HAVE
TWEAKED SKY COVER...TEMPERATURES AND WINDS AND WILL SEND AN UPDATE
SHORTLY.
AVIATION
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING WITH SOUTHERLY WINDS OF 10 TO 15KT DIMINISHING TO 5 TO 10KT
THIS EVENING FROM THE SOUTHEAST. EXPECT IFR CEILINGS TO DEVELOP
TONIGHT AND AFFECT MOST TAF SITES BY 09/12Z. FOG WILL ALSO DEVELOP
AND THINK VISIBILITIES ILL DROP TO MVFR...IF NOT IFR AT MOST SITES.
LOW CLOUDS AND FOG WILL LIKELY PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF MONDAY
MORNING...ESPECIALLY OVER THE PERMIAN BASIN.
