.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 1250 PM EST Tuesday...
VFR conditions prevail across all terminals through the 18z/13 TAF
period. Clear skies across the area currently, with FEW-SCT high
clouds moving into the northern portions later this afternoon. W/SW
winds around 10 kt will continue through the period, with RIC seeing
some gusts to 15-20 kt this afternoon. SBY may see some gusts to 15-
20 kt after 00z/14. Additionally, some low-level wind shear is
likely this evening into Wednesday afternoon, especially at RIC,
ahead of the next passing cold front. SCT-BKN high clouds will
return across the entire area Wednesday morning with the cloud
shield from the next approaching low pressure system to the north
and associated cold front.
Outlook: The cold front will cross the local area Wednesday evening
through early Thursday with some light rain showers possible. A
brief period of sub-VFR conditions will be possible early Thu
morning, as a secondary front crosses the region, ushering in a much
colder airmass for the late week period into the weekend.
