.AVIATION /10Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Patchy MVFR ceilings are seen this morning as a decaying line
of convection approaches later this morning. Another round of
restrictions possible early Wednesday.
A stratus deck has worked into AGS/DNL/AIK over the last couple
hours and is slowly drifting toward the north. This is bringing
MVFR ceilings that may be intermittent for the next 3-5 hours
across the area with light and variable winds. While the line of
convection previously in the Tennessee Valley continues to
wane, some scattered showers/storms ahead of the main line have
formed across AL/GA, and should push near the Augusta and
Columbia terminals between 13-15z. The main line of convection
should continue to be on a downtrend through the morning, but
confidence has increased in showers near the TAF sites so have
added a TEMPO group through 17-18z for this activity. A rumble
or two of thunder cannot fully be ruled out with this activity.
This afternoon, winds pick up around 6-8 kts out of the
southwest with VFR conditions prevailing, though mid to high
clouds likely remain in place much of the day. Tonight, light
and variable winds eventually become a bit more southerly as
another batch of rain nears the FA at the end of the TAF period.
There is increasing confidence in potential ceiling
restrictions into Wednesday morning with this activity and thus
at least MVFR ceilings are expected, but guidance is hinting IFR
conditions could be possible.
EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...Restrictions will be possible
Wednesday morning into the afternoon as a system moves in with
rain chances and associated cig/vsby restrictions. Periods of
restrictions are possible late this week into the weekend with
more rain chances.
