.AVIATION /08Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Anticyclonic flow around a departing high pressure system will 
bring drier air across the eastern half of the Commonwealth 
this morning. A moisture gradient will set up along the 
Alleghenies, with PWATs around 1.50" just westward where high 
pressure influence has been weaker.

The warm/moist air will continue creeping eastward as 
the high pressure loses influence over our area, with even a few
showers (coverage <30%) possible across our western terminals 
(primarily KBFD/KJST/KAOO/KUNV) between after 18Z today. Flight
restrictions are not expected with these showers, though 
briefly steady rain may occur given the moisture in place. 
Lightning may also be possible, though the tall/skinny low-CAPE
(<500 J/kg) profile will favor rainfall efficiency over 
lightning production. 

Ceilings will lower from west to east tonight, with IFR
conditions favored at BFD/JST and MVFR at the rest of the
airfields before dawn on Wednesday.

Outlook...

Wed-Thu...Restrictions possible in scattered -SHRA/-TSRA.
Fri...Restrictions expected in a line of -TSRA.
Sat...Mainly VFR.
