VFR conditions will prevail at all TAF sites next 24hrs. Mid
clouds around 9kft will overspread all sites this morning and
remain over the area/sites through the morning and into the

from the TAF sites this afternoon, but satellite loop/trends show
clouds moving due east. So will keep at least BKN mid clouds over
the area into this evening. Then skies will clear around midnight.
