.AVIATION /12Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A period of MVFR conditions in stratocumulus expected this 
morning into early afternoon.

As the coastal low develops low level flow above the boundary 
layer shifts more easterly and most guidance suggests a period 
of MVFR cigs impacting terminals 12z-20z time frame. High 
pressure continues to ridge into the region from the Mid 
Atlantic with breezy northeasterly winds. A developing low 
pressure system off the coast today will result in a 
strengthening pressure gradient and northeast winds expected to 
increase to 10 to 15 mph with gusts to 25 mph through the day. 
Wind gusts should subside a bit by late afternoon into evening 
hours but will still remain up with a strong low level jet. Some
isolated showers are possible especially across the eastern
Midlands and could affect terminals, most likely OGB, but no
significant restrictions expected at this time.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...Possible restrictions in
stratocumulus clouds associated with a coastal low Saturday. 
Gusty NE winds are expected again on Saturday.
