.AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Isolated to widely scattered convection expected this 
afternoon.

Some mid-level cloud cover and a 15 kt LLJ on the VAD wind
profile have worked to hinder fog development overnight. A
strato-cu deck could spread into the forecast area similar to
the night before, but models are optimistic keeping conditions
VFR.

Expect light winds today out of the southwest from 5 to 10 kts.
Isolated to widely scattered showers and thunderstorms 
are expected to develop by early to mid-afternoon across the 
forecast area. It is unclear whether or not coverage will be
high enough to make impacts likely to the terminals this
afternoon. Because of this we have elected to maintain VCSH at
all sites to represent the low chance of showers and
thunderstorms near or at the terminals. Winds will go calm or
light and variable around sunset as convection tapers off.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...The highest rain chances will be
Saturday afternoon with widespread thunderstorms expected. The 
probability for early morning fog/stratus increases this weekend
and early next week.
