.AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 110 AM EDT Sunday...
Mainly VFR conditions continue to prevail everywhere but ORF
this morning. Sky cover inland remains clear. Across the coastal
terminals some SCT to BKN low level clouds continue to make
their way across the terminals. Some MVFR cigs have been
reported across the ORF terminal this morning. Winds continue to
be light and variable inland while across the coastal terminals
winds remain out of the NE ~5kt. Throughout this morning VFR
conditions should turn into MVFR to potentially IFR conditions
across all terminals. Latest model guidance continues to show
patch fog developing across PHF, RIC, and SBY ~8z. However,
confidence in exact timing is low and a tempo group has been
added between 8 to 10z then prevails from 10z to 13z. This
patchy fog will cause CIGS and VIS to drop. Across the coastal
zones fog is not expected however, low level clouds causing
MVFR conditions are expected. These MVFR conditions will last
through the early morning hours before cloud heights rise due to
daytime heating. High pressure remains over the region bringing
VFR conditions through the day. While tonight some fog and/or
low status could possibly form causing additional flight
restrictions tonight into monday.
High pressure builds S over the region early-mid next week as
low pressure moves well offshore. This will bring mainly dry and
VFR conditions, aside from any early morning fog/stratus. Low
chances of diurnal showers/tstms return by midweek.
