.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Restrictions are possible around daybreak with increased
moisture. 

High pressure remains offshore with winds out of the
south/southwest, although remaining generally light, around 5
knots. Cumulus field has developed with sufficient low level
moisture in place, around 5kft. Tonight with low level moisture
continuing to linger, model consensus indicates the potential
for restrictions near sunrise. Confidence remains a bit limited
so for now have included visibility restrictions at fog prone 
AGS and OGB (which also saw fog the previous night) with sct 
MVFR cloud decks at the other terminals which are more likely to
see stratus with a bit stronger mixing expected. VFR conditions
are expected to return to all terminals by mid-morning.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...Some morning stratus is possible through 
the remainder of the week with increased moisture in place. Better 
chances for diurnal thunderstorms by the end of the week and into 
the weekend.
