24 Hour Aviation Hazards Summary
  • Prior to every flight, pilots should gather all information vital to the nature of the flight. This site is informational in nature and is designed to assist pilots and aircrews for flight planning and weather familiarization. It may be used in conjunction with other preflight information sources needed to satisfy all the requirements of 14 CFR 91.103 and is not to be considered as a sole source of information to meet all preflight action. Pilots can complete their regulatory-compliant preflight briefing by using other automated resources or from Flight Service at www.1800wxbrief.com or by calling 1-800-WX-BRIEF.

.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 725 PM Friday...

Shower and thunderstorm activity persists across the northern
tier at this time, but should be diminishing rapidly by 02z as 
we lose daytime heating. Elsewhere, any scattered lower cumulus 
should also dissipate past sunset, though some of the thin high
clouds will linger into the night. Places that got rain today
will be most susceptible to fog overnight, so the current
forecast shows a drop to IFR for PKB, CKB, and EKN. While CRW
didn't get rain, the calm and clear conditions may still allow
some valley fog to get to the terminal, so some MVFR conditions
were put in for a few hours leading up to sunrise Saturday.

Tomorrow morning looks dry, but by midday we can expect a
cumulus field to develop again in the FL030-050 range. Scattered 
showers and storms are possible across the entire area by 
around 18z, and possibly a bit sooner in the mountains, and all 
sites have a PROB30 group for now due to uncertainty on exact 
timing for any one TAF site. Storms tomorrow will once again be 
capable of very heavy rain, so localized IFR vsby can be 
expected with stronger storms, in addition to the gusty winds 
and turbulence concerns.
