.AVIATION /12Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... Moist low level conditions continue to promote low clouds and visibility restrictions across many airfields this morning. High pressure building in will allow for improvement of conditions as the morning progresses. VFR should prevail by the afternoon as the subsidence and increasing sunshine scatter out the clouds which will be most prevalent in the east. Winds will shift from out of the east to out of the south region wide by the early afternoon. These winds will remain light though in the 5-10mph range at most without much gustiness. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected to develop in the west, particularly in the southwest corner of our area, this afternoon. However, confidence is low (<30%) that any that form will directly impact BFD, JST or AOO for any long period of time. Any shower or t-storm that forms though carries the potential for heavy rainfall. Early signal is pointing towards visibility restrictions across the airfields late tonight (likely after 06Z) with IFR visibility confidence increasing further west. Timing and restriction amounts may be dictated by how widespread precipitation is in the afternoon. Outlook... Thu-Fri...Mainly dry early. Numerous to many SHRA/TSRA during the afternoon. Intermittent impacts likely. Sat-Sun...Chance of showers and a few storms but lower chances than Thu/Fri. &&
