Local Area Aviation Weather Discussion

.AVIATION /01Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
VFR stratocumulus continues to be present amid a very warm and 
somewhat humid air mass in place. Isolated showers in the area 
this evening dissipate with sunset, but isolated showers and 
thunderstorms in southern Ohio this evening will scoot east- 
northeastward across east-central Ohio tonight and northern WV 
overnight tonight. One of these may directly impact PKB and/or 
CKB late tonight into the overnight hours.

Saturday will also start with VFR stratocu still present, with
mid to late afternoon isolated to scattered convection.

A cold front approaching from the west will enhance shower and 
thunderstorm development to the west Saturday afternoon, with 
that activity then trekking east into the middle Ohio Valley
Saturday evening. These thunderstorms could be strong to severe.

Light south surface flow tonight will become southwest and a 
bit gusty again Saturday, to 15 to around 20 kts. Flow aloft 
will be light to moderate south to southwest through Saturday, 
strongest over the middle Ohio Valley where overnight low level 
wind shear is possible. Flow aloft will strengthen Saturday 
night, as the cold front approaches.
