.AVIATION /12Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 650 AM EDT Tuesday...

An area of MVFR CIGs has overspread much of the area. These
clouds will linger for a few hours before lifting later this
morning. An area of showers that lifted NE across the area prior
to daybreak will continue toward SBY this morning. VFR
conditions are expected at all terminals by mid to late morning.
Fairly widespread SCT/BKN CIGs with bases 4-5 kft expected 
today as an upper trough axis approaches the region. Additional
showers and storms are possible this afternoon into the evening
ahead of a cold front so have included PROB30 groups to try and
narrow down the timing at each terminal. Winds are generally SW
5-15 kt with gusts 20-25 kt, continuing through the afternoon
before becoming light and variable again tonight. 


Outlook: The front moves offshore late tonight with improving 
conditions expected into the mid to late week period.
