.AVIATION /07Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 130 AM EDT Friday...
VFR conditions prevail for the 06z/25 TAF period. Primarily SKC
through most of this morning, outside of widely scattered mid-
level clouds. CU likely increases quickly after 17z or so this
afternoon as a deeply-mixed boundary layer interacts with a
backdoor cold front. Model guidance continues to hint at
isolated to scattered showers (and potentially a rumble or two
of thunder). The "highest" coverage currently looks to be just
W of the Chesapeake Bay although most terminals have a low-end
chance. Have included PROB30 groups to address this potential.
Otherwise, light and variable winds increase out of NW in the
morning and then E-NE later in the period as the front pushes
inland.
Outlook: Low pressure tracks along the front Saturday afternoon
into Saturday night, bringing an increased chance of showers
and flight restrictions. High pressure builds to the N Sunday
with an onshore component to the wind persisting along the
coast, which could result in persistent lower CIGs. VFR and dry
conditions return by Monday.
