.DISCUSSION...
The 00Z aviation discussion follows....

.AVIATION...
A thunderstorm cluster over northwest Oklahoma will continue to
move south this evening. Very strong winds will accompany this
system as it moves across TAF sites at KCSM, KHBR, and possibly
KLAW. KSPS may be affected, too, but is less likely. Wind fields
will be affected at all our TAF sites to some degree, with the
least effect at KPNC. The storms should move out of our forecast
area shortly after midnight. After that, winds, clouds, etc.
should return to more typical values at all sites. There is a
possibility of storms again tomorrow morning and afternoon, but
the chances are currently too low at any specific location to
warrant inclusion in TAFs.
