.AVIATION...

Scattered convection will once again be the primary concern
through the forecast period. Away from any showers and
thunderstorms, VFR conditions will prevail through the period.
Have included VCTS wording at all of the terminals through the
afternoon hours, and included TEMPO wording at KMCB for a couple
of hours this afternoon to reflect the convective risk. At KGPT,
overnight convection could develop and have a PROB30 group
through the overnight hours to reflect the risk. If convection
directly impacts a terminal, an hour or less of IFR visibility
restrictions and gusty winds can be expected. 32
