AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
611 AM CDT TUE JUL 3 2007

.AVIATION...
/12Z TAF CYCLE/
SHORT TERM FORECAST FOCUS REVOLVES AROUND VERY LOW CEILINGS ACROSS
THE AREA. IFR CIGS /500 TO 1000FT/ CAN BE EXPECTED AT THE METROPLEX
TAF SITES THROUGH 14Z. EVEN ACT HAS SHOWN A LOWERING TREND IN
CLOUD DECKS...AND NEARBY SITES INCLUDING GATESVILLE...TEMPLE...AND
HILLSBORO ARE REPORTING MUCH LOWER CLOUD COVER THAN ACT.

OTHERWISE...LITTLE CHANGE TO THE FORECAST. TSRA WILL BE POSSIBLE
DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. TAF SITES HAVE NOT SEEN MUCH IN THE
WAY OF RAINFALL AFTER MIDNIGHT OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF NIGHTS...SO
WILL LEAVE OUT MENTION OF PRECIP AFTER SUNDOWN IN THIS TAF
PACKAGE. WILL ALSO INTRODUCE MVFR CIGS AFTER 08Z...WHICH MAY NEED
TO BE LOWERED INTO IFR CAT...AS EXTREMELY SATURATED GROUND AND
LIGHT WINDS WILL ALLOW FOR LOW CLOUD DEVELOPMENT.
