.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... VFR conditions are expected at all terminals through Sunday night. Lower ceilings and showers/thunderstorms will overspread the area from southwest to northeast Monday into Monday night, although some uncertainty remains regarding the exact onset timing of the lower ceilings and precipitation. Northwest winds will gradually decrease through the afternoon and evening, before becoming light and variable tonight into tomorrow. Locations further north have a better chance of turning light out of the north tomorrow, while locations further south (especially CHO) have a better chance of developing southerly winds. Winds will shift to out of the southeast for all by the day on Monday. Lengthy restrictions are likely on Tuesday given the prolonged period of rain tracking through the area. This will come with a steady southeasterly wind which may gust up to 20 knots at times. Rain may become heavy at times, particularly heading into Tuesday night. Some residual restrictions are possible for parts of Wednesday as the upper low remains nearby. Winds turn a bit more easterly as low pressure passes by to the south. By Thursday, the pattern slowly becomes more convective in nature as heat and humidity increase. While mainly VFR, some restrictions are possible as storms roll through. AVIATION...BRO/KJP Update as of: 255 PM EDT Sat May 10 2025
