.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 735 PM EDT Wednesday...
Generally VFR conditions are expected for the 00z/03
TAF period. A back door cold front has pushed through most of the
area this evening, which has resulted in isolated showers and
storms. The rest of the night should be dry, although there is a
very low chance (15-20%) SBY sees a shower between 06-12z/03. MVFR
CIGs have pushed into SBY and will likely remain through the night,
dropping to IFR CIGs around 06z. Some models show the MVFR CIGs
pushing further south into PHF and ORF, but confidence is lower in
this. MVFR VSBYs are likely at RIC between 08-13z, given the evening
precip, light winds, and higher dewpoints. Flight restrictions
should lift by ~14z/03 across all terminals. Winds will continue to
shift out of the S-SW this evening through early tomorrow.
Outlook: A stronger cold front is set to pass through the area
Friday night into Saturday. The front will likely trigger scattered
thunderstorms Thursday and Friday as it slowly sags southward. This
may cause flight restrictions and strong wind gusts.
