.UPDATED AVIATION...06Z TAFs...VFR conditions will prevail through
the forecast period. There will be VCTS lingering for a few hours
until around 08Z for PSC/PDT/BDN/RDM as these storms continue to
develop to the south and move north into pockets of instability.
Gusty outflows of up to 15-25 mph have been reported as the
storms pass over observation sites. CG has been limited with much
of the lightning being in cloud, however, PSC has seen roughly
20-30 strikes within a 10 mile radius of the terminal. Current obs
show the storms to have moved off to the northeast the AWW will
be allowed to expire. VSBY has not deteriorated with these storms
as there is not an abundant amount of precipitation that has
accompanied them. Storms are expected to diminish after 07Z.
CIGs will be mostly 10kft and above with an occasional pocket of
7-9kft. Otherwise, outside of thunderstorm outflows, winds will be
mostly diurnal driven and below 10 kts with the exception of at
DLS where sustained winds 10-15kts and gusts up to 25 kts will
continue overnight. Bennese/90

expected at this time for KPSC. Main threats to watch out for would
be cloud-to-ground lightning and small hail. Gusty outflow winds
(30-40kts) are potential, though with a slight chance (
