.AVIATION /07Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 210 AM EDT Wednesday...
Rain showers (with a few embedded thunderstorms) will continue
to overspread the area from the west this morning. CIGs are
starting out VFR at all sites, but will also rapidly deteriorate
over the next few hours from west to east. Expect the steadier
showers to reach RIC by ~08z and the SE TAF sites ~10 to 11z.
The steadier rain likely holds off at SBY until after 12z. CIGs
fall to MVFR by 08 to 10z, and IFR by 12 to 14z (lowest
confidence in IFR at ECG). CIGs will then remain IFR or MVFR
norther of the VA/NC border through much of the remainder of the
forecast period, while VFR conditions briefly return to ECG this
afternoon. Steadier rain showers linger the longest at SBY, with
the activity become isolated to scattered elsewhere this
afternoon. A few stronger thunderstorms will be possible this
afternoon, mainly in the vicinity of ECG. CIGs deteriorate to
IFR or LIFR at all sites early tonight, before a potential
improving trend late. An ESE wind will remain 5-10kt
early this morning, and then increase to 10-15kt with gusts
~20kt later this morning, before becoming ENE 8-12kt at most
sites during the afternoon, and WSW at 8-12kt at ECG.
Outlook: A secondary cold front will bring isolated to
scattered showers/tstms Thursday aftn with otherwise mainly VFR
conditions. Dry and VFR Friday into Saturday. A chc of showers
returns later Sunday.
