As of 115 AM EDT Sunday...

VFR conditions prevail through the 06z taf period. Cooler, 
drier air continues to filter in behind the cold front with 
clearing skies. Some SCT stratocu remains across far SE VA/NE NC
early this morning. However, expect these clouds to continue to
clear from N to S over the next few hours (apart from a few bay
streamers near ORF). ECG/ORF may hold on to some occasional 
cloud cover (FEW- SCT) into the early afternoon with SKC 
conditions expected at all other terminals. Winds were N 5-10 kt
early this morning (apart from 10-15 kt at ORF/ECG). A brief
uptick in winds is possible early this morning with winds
diminishing to 5-10 kt by this afternoon. Winds become calm
overnight as high pressure builds in.

Outlook: VFR conditions continue into early next week as high 
pressure builds into the region.
