.AVIATION /02Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... Areas of fog and low clouds are possible, especially south of the metro corridor overnight. There is a signal for 1SM or less VSBYs over the VA Piedmont and eastern VA heading into early Friday morning. VFR conditions are expected to return Friday and continue into Saturday as high pressure builds into the area. Winds will switch back to the south Friday and Saturday with gusts less than 15 kts. VFR conditions are expected across all terminals Sunday as dry conditions continue. Two potential winter systems on Monday and Tuesday respectively could cause multiple periods of sub-VFR conditions that could significantly lower VSBYs and CIGs at terminals. Winds are still anticipated to be relatively light (less than 10 knots) across the terminals through Tuesday, with a potential southerly wind shift on Tuesday. Winds could start to pick back up later in the week. AVIATION...KLW/DHOF/EST/SRT Update as of: 936 PM EST Thu Feb 26 2026
