Aviation Forecast Discussion

.AVIATION /12Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas. Today...VFR through most of the day before rain moves in later this afternoon. Cloud bases gradually lower as the day goes on. Rain moves into the Lehigh Valley around 18z-19z, the I-95 corridor and South Jersey terminals around 20z-21z. Lower CIGs and VSBYs will occur not much longer after light rain begins. Thinking MVFR restrictions begin around 20z-22z for KRDG/KABE, 22z-01z for the I-95 corridor terminals, and 00z-03z for the South Jersey terminals. Winds pick up around 14z-15z, with a light south/southeasterly wind around 5-10 kt. High confidence in prevailing VFR through at least the early afternoon, with moderate confidence in timing and extent of restrictions. Tonight...MVFR to start with IFR CIGs and possibly VSBYs moving in as rain continues through the night. Expecting IFR conditions to take over at the Lehigh Valley and I-95 terminals between 00z-03z. KACY/KMIV may stay MVFR longer, though should eventually drop down to IFR early tomorrow morning. Winds start out of the south/southeast but will transition to the southwest between 04z-07z, around 5-10 kt. A brisk low- level jet will result in a period of low- level wind shear for part of the night. Cannot rule out some LIFR conditions, with the probability around 25-35% of seeing LIFR CIGs at all terminals. Low confidence overall. Wednesday... Widespread low clouds and frequent showers before a cold front crosses the area during the late morning/early afternoon. The IFR conditions will improve back to VFR late as showers diminish. Winds shift to West or Southwest and increase to 15 to 25 kts with gusts over 30 kts. Outlook... Wed night... Isolated showers for the northern sites (TTN) for the evening, otherwise VFR expected with gusty West winds continuing. Thu/Friday... VFR gusty West to Northwest winds. Saturday... VFR expected. &&
