.AVIATION...
VFR conditions are expected to prevail through the TAF period with
high clouds around FL250 tonight lowering to near FL080 by Friday
morning. Regional radar mosaic shows a few light showers west of
LBX and SGR in response to an approaching shortwave trough but
AMDAR soundings out of Houston show a very dry profile below FL180.
Cannot rule out a sprinkle or two near LBX or SGR should enough
top-down moistening occur, but the probability of this given the
dry air in place is too low to include in the TAFs. Light and
variable winds tonight will become south to southeast 5 to 7 knots
by 18Z and decrease below 5 knots after 00Z as surface ridging
clears the region.
