.AVIATION...
CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG.
VFR conditions will prevail this TAF period with high pressure
aloft. Chances for afternoon convection are less today compared
to yesterday, so I have elected to leave mention of thunder out of
the TAFs for this issuance. Will monitor in case an amendment is
needed this afternoon.
