The short period of MVFR ceilings has quickly become VFR with daytime heating. Thunderstorm development has been quite spotty...so not confident enough to add any tempo groups. If any storms reach a terminal... impacts should be relatively brief at less than an hour but could result in a heavy downpour and frequent lightning. SW to west winds will be slightly gusty but below 20 kts. Winds will relax some overnight but not go completely calm. Increasing winds expected tomorrow.
