Narrative:
I was working the in-flight position with WX for the surface area below VFR minima. An aircraft needed an SVFR clearance to the airport. I issued an incorrect pre-designed clearance. As soon as I realized the mistake; I cleared the aircraft into the area correctly. WX was such that the aircraft was unable to enter the surface area and diverted to another airport. No other aircraft were involved. No separation was lost.
