Narrative:
Small aircraft X inbound to mlb from the north, SVFR. He called 2 mi north, and said he wanted to go to lal, which is west of mlb. Air carrier Y had been released runway 27L and was cleared for takeoff. Small aircraft X's initial call was while air carrier Y was on takeoff roll. The local controller advised small aircraft X of the jet traffic and had him turn east to avoid the traffic. Mlb tower was told that small aircraft X was inbound to land at mlb by cof approach. Air carrier Y saw small aircraft X and questioned his reason for being so close in IFR conditions.
