.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
18z update... The latest satellite imagery this afternoon shows
the lower cloud deck slowly eroding from S-N. This should put
KJST, KAOO, KMDT, KLNS, and probably KUNV in good standing for
VFR/unrestricted conditions through this evening.
At KBFD, and to a somewhat lesser extent KIPT, lower clouds and
MVFR/fuel alternate restrictions will hang on longer.
During the pre-dawn hours Sunday, steadier snow should
overspread PA from SW-NE. From shortly after its onset, IFR
restrictions will quickly settle in.
W-NW surface winds of 5-10 kt this afternoon will diminish by
early evening, then remain light through midday Sunday.
Outlook...
Sun night into Mon...Widespread IFR restrictions in snow. N-NW
surface winds will also start to pick up this period, and could
ultimately gust 25-35 kt.
Tue...Still some potential for MVFR-IFR restrictions in snow
showers at KBFD and KJST, with largely VFR elsewhere.
Wed into Thu...Some potential for restrictive conditions to
develop in scattered rain and snow showers.
