.AVIATION /12Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 630 AM EDT Saturday...

mainly VFR conditions prevail for the 12z/24 TAF period with 
strong high pressure centered to the N-NE of the local area 
gradually building south through the weekend. Already seeing BKN
clouds moving into the ersn shore and northern Neck and expect 
another round of BKN cumulus for much of the region later this 
morning through the aftn with E-NE winds around 10 kt inland and
10-15 kt with gusts to ~20 kt along the coast. Model soundings 
suggest the CIGs later today should mainly be VFR at 3500-4000 
ft. 

Outlook: VFR conditions continue Sunday through the middle of
next week. Forecast winds on Sunday will be similar, out of the
E-NE and elevated near the coast in SE VA and NE NC, followed by
lighter N to NE winds on Monday. Elevated NE winds return Tue- 
Wed.
