.AVIATION /06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 120 AM EDT Wednesday...
Widespread low-end MVFR to IFR conditions continue early this
morning as stationary DZ/RA has set up for most everyone. The
steadiest RA is just west of RIC from FVX to CGE, with bands of
DZ persists for the rest of the area. RIC and PHF continue to
see IFR CIGs, with the rest hovering in low-end MVFR. ORF is
right on the edge of the IFR/MVFR CIGs line, so they may bounce
back and forth for a bit. ENE winds have come up at all
terminals, with 12-15G22KT expected through the period inland
(RIC) and 18-24G25-30KT for the rest of the terminals. Expecting
SHRA to persist through ~21Z, though they may become more SCT
through the day. CIGs may also come back up into MVFR for
everyone this afternoon. Could get another round of DZ/-RA
especially for eastern terminals late evening into the
overnight with VIS reductions possible.
Outlook: At least intermittent degraded flight conditions are
likely through Thursday as the unsettled weather pattern
persists. Coastal terminals will also have elevated NE winds
for an extended period, with winds remaining elevated and
shifting to the N-NW into the weekend. CIGs should gradually
improve late week.
