Scenario Continued 1800Z: PIC has been using flight following with Fort Worth Center, with no discussion other than hand-offs and hourly off-frequency requests to talk with FSS (via the Lubbock and Breckenridge RCOs) and Flight Watch. Reports continue to indicate that a 9,000 ceiling feet all the way to DFW with visibility 25 miles. Approaching Abilene, PIC notices visibility decreasing to less than 15 miles and observes a line of clouds ahead with a ceiling which appears to be about 8,000 feet. Monitoring the ZFW Flight Following sector frequency, he overhears center discussing vectors for weather. He contacts Ft. Worth FSS, via the Breckenridge RCO, where he learns that the NWS is now forecasting marginal VFR at DFW by 2000Z with possible local thunderstorms, and light rain is reported at several airports north of his route. One PIREP about 50 miles east is reporting a 6,500 foot ceiling. The PIC reports his own observation in a PIREP.
