.AVIATION /07Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Mainly clear skies will prevail through Saturday morning as 
high pressure sets up off the Mid-Atlantic coast. VFR clouds 
will increase west to east as a shortwave tracks across the 
northern periphery of this high pressure & its concurrent ridge 
Saturday afternoon/evening, bringing scattered showers with
any flight restrictions looking to be brief and unlikely 
outside of any locally heavier showers. A few thunderstorms may
develop across the Allegheny Plateau (KBFD/KJST) where the HREF
mean MUCAPE values are around 100 J/kg. As precipitation 
progresses eastward, height rises and increasingly stable 
conditions will result in a downtrend in activity. 

As the shortwave exits our area during the evening, ridging 
will continue to build across the region, resulting in residual
low-level moisture becoming trapped beneath a subsidence 
inversion. As a result, MVFR/IFR restrictions are expected to 
develop after 22Z-23Z Saturday across the Allegheny Plateau 
(KBFD/KJST), with lesser confidence in evening/overnight flight 
restrictions east of the Alleghenies due to downsloping flow and
less antecedent moisture.


Outlook... 

Sun-Tue...Mainly VFR. Patchy A.M. fog. Isolated P.M. shower or
t-storm possible. 

Wed...Restrictions probable through Wednesday night with 
showers/storms along CFROPA.
