.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 155 PM EDT Monday...
High pressure remains centered off the Southeast coast as of
18z, with a frontal boundary lingering N of the region. VFR with
developing aftn CU and a SW wind of 8-12kt, which is gusting to
15-20kt toward the coast. Showers/tstms have developed along the
sea-breeze E of SBY, with some isolated convection developing
over S-central VA. The probability of tstms directly impacting
any of the terminals this aftn/evening is 20% or less, so
thunder has not been included in the 30/18z TAFs. Continued VFR
and becoming mostly clear tonight with a 5-10kt SSW wind. VFR
conditions prevail Tuesday. Shower/tstm chances increase to
20-30% 18-21z Tuesday from RIC-SBY, and closer to 00z toward
the coast as a cold front approaches from the NW. Any
showers/tstms have the potential to produce brief flight
restrictions, mainly in vsby from heavy rain along with locally
strong wind gusts.
The cold front will be slow to cross the region Tuesday night
into Wednesday with occasional showers/tstms capable of
producing brief flight restrictions, again mainly vsby in heavy
rain. VFR Thursday through Saturday as drier air builds into
the region behind the cold front.
