Abstract: Using ideas from Shelah's recent proof that a completely separable maximal almost disjoint family exists when $c<{aleph}_{omega}$, we construct a weakly tight family under the hypothesis $$. The case when $$ is handled in $$ and does not require $$, while an additional PCF type hypothesis, which holds when $$ is used to treat the case $$. The notion of a weakly tight family is a natural weakening of the well studied notion of a Cohen indestructible maximal almost disjoint family. It was introduced by Hru{v{s}}{'a}k and Garc{'{i}}a Ferreira cite{Hr1}, who applied it to the Kat'etov order on almost disjoint families.
