.AVIATION /12Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
VFR through the period. 

High pressure is in place currently and should slowly shift off
to the southeast through the day today. The airmass remains dry
even for this time of year, with PWs well under 1". So look for
clear skies through the period. Winds are forecast to pick up 
this afternoon, becoming gusty up to 20 knots out of the 
southwest. By tonight, an inversions should settle in and 
prevent the strongest gusts from materializing, but winds should
remain 7-12 knots through the night. Despite this, we are 
anticipating a period of LLWS overnight as a robust low-level 
jet develops ahead of an approaching front. This should be on 
the order of 40-50 knots, necessitating an inclusion of LLWS in 
the TAFs after 00z this evening. It will likely remain a problem
all night tonight until early to mid morning Sunday when the 
surface winds increase and we being mixing stronger gusts to the
surface. Otherwise, look for a quiet aviation forecast with VFR
continuing. 

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR conditions likely continue into
the weekend with dry air in place. Windy conditions expected 
Sunday otherwise VFR conditions continue.
