VERY WARM TEMPERATURES FOR MID APRIL. AFTERNOON MAX TEMPS WILL
BE 10 TO 20 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL, WITH 90+ TEMPS LIKELY FOR THE

VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR MOST OF THE TAF PERIOD, BUT SOME
MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE AS WE APPROACH DAYBREAK.
A FEW CUMULI REMAIN ACROSS THE AREA AS CAN BE SEEN ON SATELLITE,
BUT THEY ARE QUICKLY DIMINISHING NOW THAT PEAK HEATING IS DONE.
SOME HIGHER CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE OVERHEAD THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS INTO THE DAY TOMORROW. CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING
IN MVFR TO IFR CEILINGS FOR OGB, AIK, AGS, AND DNL FOR THE
09Z-13Z TIMEFRAME, POTENTIALLY EVEN LIFR AT TIMES, AS INCREASED
MOISTURE MOVES INTO THE AREA. CONFIDENCE IS LOWER FOR THESE CIGS
TO REACH CAE AND CUB, HOWEVER. IFR FOG IS ALSO POSSIBLE AT THE
FOG PRONE OGB AND AGS. CANNOT RULE OUT FOG ELSEWHERE, BUT
CONFIDENCE IS LOW AT THE OTHER TERMINALS AT THIS TIME.
