.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

VFR conditions expected through most of the forecast period
although some restrictions in morning fog possible.

Satellite imagery showing most of diurnal cumulus has dissipated
although there is still some moisture trapped beneath a
subsidence inversion with some scattered clouds around 4-6kft.
Overall moisture has lowered with PWATs less than an inch with
most of the moisture in the lower levels. Strong radiational
cooling is expected tonight with calm winds and high pressure in
place with mid level dry air which should favor possible fog
development. Mixed signals in the guidance with some showing fog
and others not and there is a 15-20 knot low level jet that
complicates things. Decided to go ahead and carry prevailing
MVFR vsbys at fog prone AGS/OGB with tempo IFR vsbys 09z-12z
while only carrying MVFR vsbys in a tempo group at CAE/CUB/DNL.
Winds should remain light through the day on Monday with a weak
pressure gradient.  

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...No significant impacts to aviation 
expected through Thursday, although brief early morning fog or 
stratus will be possible.
