.AVIATION /12Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 700 AM EDT Thursday...

Mainly VFR conditions prevail through the 12z TAF period, with a
cluster of showers/tstms moving off to the N of SBY. NW winds 
5-10 kt, shift to the W-SW late in the day (except at ORF where 
the lighter flow will allow winds to become NE for much of the 
aftn). Expect FEW- SCT CU late morning through the afternoon. 
Isolated showers or storms are possible, mainly after 21Z, but 
low confidence in coverage and timing preclude specific mention.

Note: An ongoing communication issue at the ORF ASOS has no 
expected timeframe for resolution, so have included AMD NOT 
SKED at ORF. 

Outlook: Scattered shower/storm coverage is expected Friday
afternoon into friday night as a cold front drops south through
the region. Periodic flight restrictions will be possible. Quieter
conditions return on Saturday, with scattered aftn/evening
showers/storms possible Sunday-Monday.
