Probably a very stupid question, but can someone help me:
TAF: EGKA 290801Z 2909/2918 26008KT 6000 FEW006 BKN010 PROB30 TEMPO 2909/2910 4000 BR BKN006 BECMG 2910/2913 9999 SCT020
Today's forecast from Shoreham, on what is a fairly murky start to the day. The forecast looks like it's clearing up a bit later, but the question I've got is: is 'becoming' also a 'tempo' state, or is it a 'permanent' condition after which the weather remains the same?
Better phrased as:
The forecast suggest the day starts Carp, but between 10 and 1pm it gets better - 10k vis and scattered at 2k feet.
After 1pm, does 'becoming' persist (e.g. it's going to say that way for the rest of the day), or does the time period for 'becoming' imply that it reverts back to the general forecast, e.g:
The forecast suggests that day IS Carp between 9am and 6pm, but it gets better between 10 and 1pm before reverting back to Carp between 1pm and 6pm.
If the weather remains decent after 1pm, why does the TAF cover the period up to 18:00 - why not cap the taf at 1pm?
Sorry if this is a really stupid, basic question...
