.AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Snow showers and a few heavier snow squalls will remain 
possible across much of central Pennsylvania through the 
afternoon. The best chance of IFR conditions will be at BFD 
where lake effect snow bands will be most persistent, but any 
airfield that sees snow showers move directly overhead may see 
brief periods of MVFR or IFR conditions. Much of the snow will 
come to an end by 00Z, though it could linger for a few more 
hours at BFD.

Low clouds will produce MVFR conditions at BFD and JST through
the night, but confidence is low on just how far east these
clouds get. We stuck close to the HREF and the LAMP for the 18Z
TAF package, keeping all other airfields VFR, but it would not 
be surprising to see a few hours of MVFR ceilings at AOO and UNV
as well.

Gusty west-northwest winds will continue through the rest of
today, with gusts of 25 to 35 knots likely (up to 40 knots at 
JST and AOO). Wind gusts decrease a little after 06Z, though we
likely will see gusts of 20 to 30 knots through the night. Low 
clouds across the western half of the area slowly break up 
Monday morning, giving way to VFR conditions at all TAF sites by
18Z.

Outlook...

Mon Night-Wed...Mainly VFR.

Thu-Fri...Chance of snow showers, perhaps mixing with rain in 
the southeast.
