.AVIATION /12Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Light rain will continue at BFD and possible IPT for a few more
hours before gradually tapering off through the morning. Mainly
dry conditions are expected after 14Z under varying amounts of 
mid and high clouds, along with west-southwest winds at 5 to 10 
knots. A few gusts to 20 knots may be possible at BFD and JST 
during the afternoon. Cloud cover increases once again into 
Friday morning ahead of an approaching cold front. Any rain 
associated with this front likely holds off until right around
12Z Friday. LLWS will be a concern into Friday morning as a 40 
to 60 knot southwesterly low-level jet moves in from the west. 
Wind shear is most likely at BFD and JST, though AOO, UNV, and 
IPT could may see LLWS develop after 06Z.

Some fog may form across northern PA tonight, though this is 
dependent on just how clear skies are able to get before high 
clouds move in ahead of the front. If fog were to develop, BFD 
and IPT would be most likely to see ceiling and visibility 
restrictions. Regardless of fog formation, IFR or LIFR ceilings
appear likely to  develop at BFD in the 10-12Z timeframe as 
rain begins to move in.

Outlook...

Fri...Cold FROPA with showers along the front.

Sat...VFR favored behind the FROPA. AM fog possible.

Sun...Restrictions possible as a weak low pressure system
develops along the residual frontal boundary over the Mid- 
Atlantic. -RA possible, more so across southern and eastern PA.

Mon...Dry conditions with VFR prevailing.
