.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
VFR conditions have returned, but IFR cigs are expected again
late tonight at CAE/CUB/OGB.

LIFR and IFR cigs from earlier have generally lifted into VFR
cumulus across the forecast area. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms are expected to continue developing this 
afternoon as a surface trough pushes southward through the area.
VCSH is sufficient for now, despite thunderstorms being 
distinctly possible through the afternoon. Expect showers to 
diminish in coverage and intensity after 03z tonight, with winds
beginning to shift out of the north and northeast late tonight.
A front is forecast to push through slowly tonight, and this 
feature is forecast by HRRR/LAMP/NBM guidance to push stratus 
into the CAE/CUB/OGB between 09z and 14z, lifting thereafter. 
Confidence is not high that this will make it to AGS/DNL, 
though, so have only trended towards it. There may be a shower 
or storm tomorrow, especially towards AGS/DNL in the afternoon, 
but it is expected to be after this period ends. 

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...Drier air is expected to push into
the region Sat/Sun with a decrease in rain chances both days.
Summer-like pattern returns next week with daily chances for
storms.
