.AVIATION /07Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 115 AM EDT Tuesday...
VFR conditions across area terminals look to persist through the
06z TAF period. 1024+mb surface high pressure remains centered
off the Southeast coast, with winds SSW 7-10 kt. Winds look to
nudge up to 10-15kt by late this morning into the aftn, with
occasional gusts to near 20kt during the aftn, and potentially
a directional shift to SSE closer to the coast later in the
aftn sea breeze.
Outlook: VFR conditions expected to continue tonight and Wednesday
as high pressure remains in control. S/SW winds likely gust to
15-20 kt once again Wednesday aftn. The next chance of rain and
possible degraded flight conditions arrive with a cold front
dropping across the region late Wednesday night into Thursday.
Sub-VFR CIGs then persist in a weak cool air wedge airmass Thu
night and Friday. Gradually improving conditions are then
expected late Friday and Saturday as the front returns back
north as a warm front. While predominate VFR conditions likely
return for the holiday weekend, flight restrictions will remain
possible in scattered showers and isolated storms both Saturday
and Sunday, along with potential VSBY restrictions in early
morning ground fog.
