.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
VFR Conditions Likely the Next 24 Hours.

Afternoon cumulus field has developed in the deeper moisture across 
the CSRA region early this afternoon, with additional cumulus 
expected to develop across the Midlands. Bases with any of these 
clouds will remain above 3kft, with vfr conditions expected at all 
taf locations through the period. An isolated shower or storm 
will be possible through this afternoon and evening, especially 
closer to AGS/DNL where the deeper moisture resides. Some 
activity already being shown on regional radars west of the 
CSRA. If any convection can make it into AGS/DNL, a brief period
of mvfr ceilings and/or visibilities can not be ruled out. Due 
to limited coverage, plan on keeping tafs dry at this time, and 
will monitor radars and amend as necessary if any activity 
approaches terminals. Additional rain chances will become 
possible near the very end of the 18z taf forecast period as a 
weak surface front approaches from the north. Westerly winds 
around 10 kts, with gusts of 15-18 kts through the afternoon, 
then diminishing after 00z. Westerly winds on Monday not 
expected to be quite as strong, with most speeds between 5 and 
10 knots, and limited gusts. 

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK... Patchy early morning fog/stratus 
through the extended. Rain chances increase early for the first half 
of the week ahead of an approaching surface boundary, then become 
more seasonal the remainder of the period.
