.AVIATION /16Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Expect an increase in lake effect snow showers over northern and
western PA through the morning as low-level winds gradually
become more northwesterly. BFD and JST have the best chance of
seeing IFR restrictions in snow, but the timing of visibility
drops will be tough to pin down. A few snow showers could make
it to AOO, UNV, and IPT as well, particularly this morning, but
the probs are much lower than they are at BFD and JST. Snow
likely mixes with or changes over to rain this afternoon before
changing back to mainly snow overnight.

MVFR ceilings at BFD and JST will persist through the TAF 
period with at least some chance of lowering further to IFR. 
REFS probs of this occurring are highest at JST (around 70
percent). MVFR ceilings at AOO and UNV this morning likely 
become VFR again during the afternoon, but they should lower 
back to MVFR after sunset. Winds will be out of the northwest 
through the TAF period at 10 to 15 knots with gusts to 25 knots 
possible.

Outlook...

Sun...Low ceilings early, rising to VFR by the afternoon. Rain 
and snow showers linger through the morning.

Mon-Wed...VFR.
