.AVIATION /12Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Scattered showers across northwest PA may make a close approach
to BFD this morning, but mainly dry conditions are expected for
most of Central Pennsylvania into the early afternoon. Patchy
fog will continue to cause periods of IFR/LIFR restrictions at 
BFD and IPT before dissipating by 14Z. VFR conditions are 
then expected for the rest of the day under varying amounts of
mid and high clouds. Winds will be out of the west-southwest at
10 to 15 knots with gusts to 25 knots possible. Similar to the 
past few days, expect showers and thunderstorms to develop 
during the afternoon and evening over western PA. BFD, JST, UNV,
and IPT will once again be most likely to see any thunderstorms.

There is a stronger signal in model guidance for low clouds to 
develop Thursday night over northern and western PA than there 
has been the past few nights. Ceilings likely drop to MVFR at 
BFD and JST after 03Z with further reduction to IFR expected. 
AOO, UNV, and IPT may also see MVFR ceilings develop.

Outlook...

Fri...Restrictions possible early, then improving to VFR in the
afternoon.

Sat-Sun...Restrictions in SHRA possible, transition to SHSN 
across higher elevations overnight Sunday night into Monday 
morning.

Mon...Lingering SHSN possible early across N PA with 
restrictions possible; otherwise, dry conditions with VFR 
prevailing.
