See aviation discussion below.

.AVIATION...
A few -SHRA are across the west, mostly dissipating. A mid cloud deck
from SE NM to around Presidio was slowly moving e-ne with clouds mostly
BKN120. For now have kept MVFR CIGS out of forecast and a developing
30-40kt LLJ will keep wind up 10-15kt at most places, especially
FST/MAF. Otherwise the more noticeable wx changes are not expected
until after this forecast period including low CIGS, wind shift
with front and high end PoPs.
