.AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Widespread VFR (VSBYS and CIGS) noted across much of PA this
morning with variable amounts of mid and high level clouds 
drifting ESE across the Northern 2/3rds of the state.

Convergence axis between low level south/southwesterly flow
was located just to the west/NW of Chesapeake Bay and was 
leading to the formation of an area of MVFR stratocu clouds 
that was drifting northeast over portions of the Lower Susq 
Valley, mainly to the east of RT 15. 

This area of strato cu will advect further North/Northeast and 
impact KMDT, KCXY and KLNS through the late morning hours, with 
CIGS AOB 2000 FT AGL at times. Tempo groups for bumps up in the 
CIG heights by several hundred feet or more are currently in 
place at KMDT and KLNS from 14-16Z today as the low level wind 
direction veers a bit more to the SW and vertical mixing deepens
with drier air being entrained into/eroding the cloud deck.

Overall for today, a light sfc W/SW wind of 5-10 kts develops 
across Central PA. Any MVFR cigs over the Lower Susq Valley 
should lift/mix out by 16Z. A few SHRA or TSRA could develop 
later in the day, esp across northern PA as an upper level
disturbance slides SE from the Great Lakes region, but most of 
the day should be dry.

Outlook...

Mon-Thu...Scattered SHRA/TSRA with brief restrictions possible;
morning fog possible.
