.AVIATION /06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
 VFR conditions expected through the TAF period.

A drier air mass in place today should yield relatively quiet 
weather with only isolated convection expected this afternoon, too 
low to include in the forecast. Otherwise typical diurnal cumulus is 
expected to develop by 15z with surface heating and southwesterly 
winds 5 to 10 knots expected by 16z with some gusts to 15 to 18 
knots during the afternoon due to deep mixing. Winds should diminish 
to around 5 knots by 09/02z. Low chances of morning fog/stratus. 

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...Daily rain chances and possible 
restrictions continue through at least midweek.
