.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
We have high confidence in VFR conditions through the 24-hour 
TAF period.

Surface ridging to the south will maintain a dry westerly flow.
It will remain breezy this afternoon because of the pressure 
gradient between this ridge and strong low pressure well to the 
north plus strong mixing. Wind gusts near 18 knots have been 
occurring. A weakened pressure gradient and less mixing will 
result in diminished wind tonight. Wind should increase again 
ahead of a dry cold front Friday. The GFS LAMP supported gusts 
around 18 knots. Expect some high cloudiness in broad upper 
troughing mainly late tonight and Friday. We do not expect fog 
because of the dry air mass. The guidance was consistent 
maintaining VFR conditions. 

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...Expect mainly VFR conditions through
Sunday. It will be breezy during the rest of Friday. Increased
low-level moisture in a southerly flow may result in mainly
late night and early morning stratus or fog Monday and Tuesday.
