.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Regionwide VFR is expected tonight as a weak high pressure 
moves overhead, bringing light/variable winds & rain-free 
conditions. Radiational fog development will be unlikely as mid-
high level cloud cover increases downstream of a weak low 
pressure system drifting across the Great Lakes.

Shower activity increases west to east on Thursday ahead of the
weak system, with VFR prevailing outside of any heavier showers
or afternoon/evening thunderstorms. Meager instability (MLCAPE 
up to around 500 J/kg) and mostly cloudy skies will tend to keep
thunderstorm activity sub-severe, though steep low-level lapse 
rates (8-9 C/km) and sufficient wind shear (0-6 km shear around 
35 kts) may support locally gusty winds within these storms.

Otherwise, S/SW winds increase to around 10 kts across the 
region on Thursday, with occasional gusts to 15-20 kts possible.


Outlook...

Fri-Sat...Restrictions possible in additional showers and 
storms.

Sun...Mainly VFR with restrictions unlikely in any afternoon
-SHRA.

Mon...Mainly VFR, dry conditions prevail.
