.AVIATION /12Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... High pressure centered over the Great Lakes Region will keep PA in a regime of northerly flow of dry air for at least the next 36 hours. The dry air will keep any convectively induced clouds that form during today within VFR criteria with bases mostly in the 5kft-8kft range. A high cirrus deck (~25kft) will traverse the region this afternoon into the night as well. The drier airmass coupled with daytime diurnal heating will allow for steep low level lapse rates to develop, highest in the Lower Susquehanna Valley. This will lead to wind gusts peaking mostly in the 15kt-20kt range from late morning into the evening Tuesday. Outlook... Wed-Fri...VFR with no significant weather. Any showers that develop Tue or Wed will be light and spotty. Any fog very limited. Winds begin to take on a greater westerly component Thursday into Friday. Sat...VFR favored with restrictions possible in -SHRA, mainly late. &&
