.AVIATION...
High level moisture begin stripped up from the East Pac and
passing across region in the form of thinning cirrus. Models have
really backed off on the formation of any early Friday MVFR
ceiling development. Thus...have pulled back and adjusted this 06Z
issuance to communicate strictly VFR...few to sct decks at best.
Primarily sky clear...maybe mid to high level scattered ceilings
...through this period. Early day northeasterlies will veer
easterly tomorrow. 31

NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]...

This was a good way to start March since February was so cloudy.
Front has pushed well into the Gulf with high pressure over the
central Plains per surface analysis. Satellite imagery shows
mainly high clouds moving across the region which allowed for one
of the better sunsets this evening. Tomorrow should be another
nice day with high temperatures in the 70s and dry NE winds.

Overall the forecast looks on track and only updates were to keep
pace with ongoing trends in T/Td.

PREV DISCUSSION /Issued 553 PM CST Thu Mar 1 2018/...

AVIATION...
Western cirrus streaming overhead with a slowly weakening post-frontal
northerly wind during the first half of the TAF period. Concerning
the early Friday MVFR ceilings...confidence is somewhat low on
occurrence as models have backed off on the formation of this
deck. Still went BKN015 prevailing but will have to re-access in
the 06Z package. VFR tomorrow with just a few cumulus...a scattered
mid level deck or sky clear the three main options from late
morning on through Friday sunset. Weak winds will veer around to
the east tomorrow and become southeasterly Saturday afternoon. 31
