.AVIATION /07Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 200 AM EDT Thursday...
A cold front is pushing east through central VA early this
morning, and will be offshore by 12Z. Along and ahead of the
front (mainly to the E of RIC), scattered to numerous showers
can be expected, bringing a few hrs worth of MVFR CIGs/VSBYs
(and brief IFR VSBYs to 1-2SM in the heaviest showers). An
isolated rumble or two of thunder is also possible, but has not
been included in any of the TAFs. Showers should gradually end
from W to E between 09-12Z. There still could be an isolated
shower or two potentially lingering into the afternoon in SE VA/NE
NC. Winds shift to the N-NW behind the front, and remain out of
the N and increase to 10-15 kt with gusts to 20 kt late morning
through the aftn.
Outlook: VFR conditions are expected tonight, with NW winds and
clearing skies, though BKN clouds may linger or redevelop over
the NE at SBY overnight into Friday. Dry and VFR conditions
continue Fri-Mon, though there could be isolated SHRA/TSRA
Sunday aftn/evening that would potentially lead to (brief)
flight restrictions.
