.AVIATION /15Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Mainly VFR conditions are expected at the area terminals through the holiday weekend. The one exception could be radiation fog that develops late tonight which may impact KCHO and KMRB. Forecast visibility may teeter between VFR and MVFR at times during the overnight hours. Light southerly winds persist through the weekend as gradients remain rather weak. For the second half of Sunday, high clouds will be on the increase as they spread from south to north ahead of the remnants of Tropical Storm Chantal. Some showers are possible, especially across more southern terminals (i.e., KCHO). Restrictions would be possible down in KCHO if showers become more concentrated. Eventually storm chances increase more into Monday afternoon/evening which would support possible sub-VFR conditions. Wind fields remain south to perhaps southeasterly. Generally expecting VFR conditions through the long term period. However, each day will come with an increasing chance of afternoon/evening thunderstorms. This will bring a chance for restrictions at any of the terminals. AVIATION...BRO/CJL Update as of: 245 PM EDT Sat Jul 5 2025
