Aviation Forecast Discussion

.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, 
KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.

Tonight/Christmas Eve...VFR. Winds light/variable, then 
settling out of the south around 5 kts or less late. Overall a 
smooth night ahead for Santa and his reindeer. High confidence.

Thursday/Christmas Day...Some brief MVFR conditions possible in
low clouds, mainly from KPHL southwards. Brief period of LLWS 
possible for RDG in the morning. SW winds 5-10 kts shifting NW 
and increasing towards sunset. Low confidence.

Outlook...

Thursday Night through Friday morning...VFR. No significant 
weather.

Friday afternoon through Saturday morning...An impactful winter 
storm will move through the region. KTTN likely will be all snow, 
with KRDG/KABE/KPNE/KPHL/KILG all seeing multiple precipitation 
types over this period. Precipitation will mainly be snow, but a 
changeover to sleet and/or freezing rain is expected at some point. 
KMIV/KACY should start out as snow with relatively quick change to a 
mix or all rain. IFR conditions likely through this time frame, but 
periods of LIFR cannot be ruled out. 

Saturday Afternoon...Sub-VFR conditions expected with low clouds and 
scattered snow showers. 

Saturday night...VFR conditions expected.

Sunday...Sub-VFR conditions likely in low clouds and rain, 
especially later in the day.

Sunday night...Sub-VFR conditions likely in low clouds and rain.

Monday...A return to VFR is likely.
