.AVIATION /07Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 135 AM EDT Thursday...
VFR conditions prevail through this evening before deteriorating
tonight. Today will be dry despite a weak cold front crossing
the area during the morning-midday. Expect clear skies outside
of FEW-SCT cumulus during the late morning-aftn. Winds will
become NW at 5-10 kt by late morning-midday. Then, a backdoor
cold front crosses the terminals from NE to SW between 21-03z.
Winds become NE at ~10 kt (could see a brief period of 20 kt
gusts near the coast) following the FROPA. In addition, MVFR-
IFR stratus likely overspreads the entire area tonight/early
Fri AM as the front moves well SW of the terminals. MVFR to IFR
CIGs are likely at all of the terminals after 06z Fri.
Outlook: Conditions slowly improve Friday (although restrictions
may persist at SBY through much of the day) as the backdoor
front retreats to the NE. A stronger cold front arrives from the
NW and crosses the area late Friday/Friday night with scattered
showers. Rain chances generally end after Sat morning, but
return later Sunday into early Monday as low pressure passes
through the Carolinas.
