Aviation Forecast Discussion

.AVIATION /15Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas. Rest of tonight (through 12Z)...MVFR gradually overspreading further north and west this morning, likely covering all terminals by 12Z. That said, VFR will try to hold on north and west. Otherwise, gusty wind and periods of rain. Prevailing vis conditions should remain VFR with periods of MVFR in more moderate showers, so included a TEMPO group covering that. N winds 15 to 20 kt with 30 to 35 kt gusts inland and gusts as high as 40 kt from time to time at KACY. Winds will trend towards N/NW by dawn. Medium confidence. Sunday...Widespread MVFR cigs in the morning with continued waves of showers and gusty wind. Periods of reduced vis in heavier showers is likely. By early afternoon, ensemble soundings suggest a push of low-level moisture increasing probability to 50-60% for IFR cigs from northeast to southwest with most likely arrival to PHL and surrounding terminals around 15z, though the pessimistic end of the goal posts could sit as early as ~13z. RDG and ABE lag a bit behind farther inland. A period of low level wind shear is possible in the mid to late morning hours as a belt of stronger 925 mb flow spreads inland on the west side of the low, but forecast soundings all suggest some depth of a mixed layer at the surface and thus gusts continuing to 25-30 knots. For that reason, held off on the LLWS mention for now, but if it appears that we won't mix quite as efficiently and surface gusts will be less, LLWS mention may be needed. W to N winds 15 to 20 kt with 30 to 35 kt gusts. Low/medium confidence. Outlook... Sunday night...Continued MVFR/IFR conditions in lingering SHRA. Diminishing winds. Monday through Monday night...Conditions improve to MVFR, then to VFR late Monday and Monday night. Tuesday through Thursday...VFR conditions expected. &&
