.AVIATION...

VFR conditions currently across the terminals. Starting to see
some showers develop across the higher terrain and a few in the
southern valley. Due to this, pushed back the timing of VCTS in
all of the TAFs until 19-20z. Expect convection will effect the
higher terrain first and migrate into the valley later in the
afternoon. Confidence in any particular terminal being effected by
TS is low and have only mentioned VCTS for now. Any ongoing
precipitation should quickly come to an end around sunset. Fog
will develop once again at TYS and TRI late tonight into early
Sunday morning.
