.AVIATION...

VFR conditions will prevail at all of the terminals through the
forecast period. The biggest concern will be thunderstorms
developing between 18z and 00z today that could impact any of the
terminals for brief periods of time. Have included VCTS wording to
reflect this risk at most of the terminals. However, at KHUM, have
included a couple of hours of MVFR visbilities and prevailing
thunder in a tempo group as rainfall probabilities currently are
highest at this terminal for this afternoon. The biggest concern
with any convection will be strong gusty winds and wind shear near
the thunderstorms as well as periods of IFR visibility
restrictions as the storms move through.  32
