.AVIATION /08Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
VFR conditions generally expected through the 24hr TAF period.

Satellite imagery shows higher clouds continue to move over the
area but the back edge should move through during the 09z-12z
time frame with mostly clear skies expected through most of the
day. Cannot totally rule out some brief MVFR vsbys in fog during
the predawn hours at CAE/AGS due to the clearing of higher
clouds and diminishing dewpoint depressions, although confidence
is limited and guidance is not showing any restrictions. 

Light and variable winds will pick up from the northwest to west
at around 5 knots by 14z as a weak surface trough shifts 
southeastward through the area. Winds may shift back to the
southwest by 20z in response to an approaching frontal boundary. 


EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...No significant impacts to aviation 
expected through Saturday. Restrictions expected on Sunday into
Monday with possible developing wedge conditions.
