.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Early evening convectively driven cumulus have dissipated,
giving way to mostly clear skies and nearly calm winds with 
just some upper level cirrus (~20-25 kft). Clouds will tend to 
thicken and lower slightly through the TAF period (through 00z 
Sun) but generally remain in the mid and upper level. Scattered
cu are possible esp in the eastern airfields Sat afternoon, but
remaining VFR.

Visibility restrictions look unlikely for tonight/early 
Sat morning. HREF chances for <5mi visibility are under 20% at 
this time across much of the state, but some signal is present 
for fog nearby BFD & IPT sites. VCFG was included in their TAF 
sites to account for this.

Winds will be out of the south on Saturday with occasional gusts
15-20 kts. Rain will move into the area from west to east after
00z Sun. 

Outlook...
Sun...More widespread SHRA with PM TSRA possible. Restrictions
likely for central and western airfields, especially in heavier
SHRA/TSRA.

Mon...AM SHRA with PM TSRA possible. Restrictions possible,
especially SE where chances for SHRA/TSRA are higher.

Tue...Upper-lvl low over the Ohio Valley may bring SHRA/TSRA
with possible restrictions to the Commonwealth, though lower 
confidence in SHRA/TSRA compared to previous days.

Wed...Upper-lvl low moves out, but restrictions still possible
in lingering SHRA/TSRA.
