Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New Orleans LA 1212 PM CDT Fri May 18 2018 .AVIATION... VFR conditions will be the rule at all of the terminals, but there will be some scattered convection around today. Have VCTS wording in place through 00z to reflect this risk, and will amend the forecast if convection looks to impact a terminal. If a storm passses over, a brief period of gusty winds and reduced visibilities can be expected. Additionally, a period of MVFR visibilities could develop around 12z at KMCB and KBTR due to light fog. 32 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
