.AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As rain moved out this afternoon, areas of dense fog and low
ceilings have developed, leading to LIFR and VLIFR conditions at
most of the terminals. As rain moves back into the terminals
over the next few hours, the expectation is that at least
visibility may improve slightly, but CIGS are expected to remain
low through the night and into tomorrow morning. Visibility may
drop once again during a lull in the precipitation early
tomorrow morning, before a final round of precipitation crosses
the terminals from mid-morning through the early afternoon
hours. Conditions should improve to VFR through the afternoon,
and winds will shift to out of the WNW and become gusty at times
during the late afternoon hours.
More rain is expected late Sunday into Tuesday with some very light
wintry precip possible at onset, but bulk of precip should be rain.
Gusty winds Mon night and then windy Tue with gusts to 35 kt
possible.
