.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... As expected, rain along a cold front has dwindled considerably today and only isolated showers are being observed early this afternoon. Isolated showers with lowering MVFR ceilings are along JST to UNV to IPT as of 18Z and will continue southeastward this evening. A few stronger showers are possible in southeast PA (MDT and LNS), but the more likely scenario is only light rain with little to no restrictions at those airfields. Winds take on a northwesterly/northerly flow pattern behind the front as drier air filters in. The period of restrictions should only last a few hours will fairly quick improvement from west to east primarily after 23Z Friday to 2Z Saturday. Patchy fog is possible at KBFD by daybreak on Saturday, but there is not enough confidence to prevail any restrictions there. An otherwise pleasant day is expected on Saturday with high clouds moving to the south of the area and mainly sunny skies across PA. Outlook... Sat...VFR favored behind the FROPA. AM fog possible.
