.AVIATION /02Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 725 PM EDT Tuesday...
VFR is forecast to prevail through the 00z/19 TAF period. Clear
skies tonight, with SCT-BKN cirrus expected by later Wednesday
afternoon and evening. There is also a low chance of patchy
ground fog tonight, but this would be mainly away from the
terminal sites. Light/calm winds tonight become E-SE (SSE well
inland) 5-10 kt Wednesday afternoon.
Outlook: A marine layer could bring low CIGs and reduced VSBY
Wednesday night and Thursday morning, especially at the coastal
terminals. Additionally, a period of SSW LLWS is possible
around sunrise Thursday morning. A cold front crosses the
region Thursday, bringing showers and potentially brief flight
restrictions. High pressure and prevailing VFR conditions return
Friday into Saturday, though a gusty NW wind is expected
Friday.
