.AVIATION /12Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
VFR conditions continue with brief restrictions possible again 
early this morning. Isolated showers and thunderstorms possible
later today.

Early morning restrictions at AGS and OGB should improve after 
12-14Z as light southerly to southwesterly winds around 3-5 kts 
develop.

SCT cumulus is expected to redevelop through the day ahead of 
an approaching front, bringing greater coverage of 
afternoon/evening showers and thunderstorms. While the peak 
activity is expected to remain north and west of our CWA, 
isolated coverage cannot be ruled out. Based on the latest HREF 
guidance, isolated storms may develop near all terminals after 
20-22Z and continue sporadically until the end of the current 
TAF update. Therefore, PROB30s have been added in all but the 
OGB sites. The front is expected to linger around, possibly 
triggering continued showers and producing MVFR to IFR cigs into
Friday morning. Winds will remain light, mainly out of the SW, 
but could be variable in and around convection.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...High low level moisture may bring 
more rounds of morning restrictions from fog/stratus into the 
weekend. Scattered afternoon showers and storms become possible 
today with more chances this weekend.
