AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY/

VFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD.
A WEAK CYCLONE/SHEAR ZONE IS DEVELOPING AND SHIFTING SOUTHWARD AS
RELATIVELY COOLER AIR IS OOZING IN. THUS WE'RE STARTING THIS TAF
PERIOD WITH LIGHT NORTHERLY WINDS. DEPENDING ON DAYTIME HEATING
(BKN MID TO HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS) WE SHOULD (70% CHANCE) TRANSITION
MORE NE-E THROUGH 20Z-24Z, WITH THE REMAINING 30% CHANCE JUST
GOING VRB FOR THE AFTERNOON. WE THEN EXPECT A GRADUAL SE-S CHANGE
FROM 00Z-04Z, BEFORE NORMAL S-SW WINDS RESUME FOR THE OVERNIGHT
PERIOD.
