.AVIATION /09Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Unlike most mornings here this Spring, a really nice sunrise
at the office, with very clear skies. This in part due to the
really dry air aloft.

The patch of lower clouds near JST did not hold up well 
overnight. Some fog at BFD at times, but fog there not
there all the time.

More information below.

A west to northwest flow of drier air will keep dry weather
and VFR conditions across the area today into Sunday morning.

Still some hints on radar at 11 PM of maybe a few lower clds
and even a drop of rain across the southwest, which could
work into JST over the next few hours. Otherwise today will
feature VFR conditions.

A cold front dropping southeast late Sunday will bring the
potential for strong storms to the area later Sunday.

With a large upper level low to the north next week, there
will be a tedency for weak cold fronts and troughs to result
in showers and storms at times. Timing will be tricky with
this type of flow pattern.

Outlook...

Sunday...VFR favored early, with restrictions possible as
FROPA brings chance of -SHRA/-TSRA later in the day.

Monday...Mostly VFR with isolated -SHRA possible.

Tuesday...Mostly VFR with isolated -SHRA/-TSRA possible.

Wednesday...-SHRA/-TSRA chances increase ahead of low pressure
system.
