.AVIATION /08Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 100 AM EST Wednesday...

VFR conditions across area terminals will persist through the
06z/24 TAF period. SCT-BKN clouds at SBY through ~12Z,
otherwise, mostly clear. Light winds become NW through 12Z, then
increase with gusts to ~20kt from ~14Z through ~20Z. Remaining
VFR tonight with just increasing mid/high clouds. 

Outlook: A frontal boundary and fast moving low pressure system
will bring a low end chc for showers Christmas Day, with SBY 
having the highest chc for flight restrictions. Additional 
flight restrictions are likely late Friday afternoon into early
Saturday with a chance for rain south, and rain likely N. SBY
could see some mixed precip late Friday. Low clouds could linger
Saturday.
