.AVIATION /15Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Wind gusts of 15 to 25 kts are expected at times later this
morning and into the afternoon. Skies will be SCT- BKN as
strato/alto cumulus rolling off the mountains.
An additional wave of low pressure and reinforcing cold front look
to track across the region late tonight into Thursday morning. This
may bring an additional period of light flurries or snow showers to
the corridor between 07z-12z/2am-7am Thursday. MVFR/IFR vsbys are
possible during this time and any light accumulation may have impact
due to the cold conditions. Confidence here is low given the limited
moisture east of the mountains. Something that will have to monitor
given hi-res guidance suggesting the potential for light snow at
BWI, MTN, IAD, MRB, HGR, and DCA during the time window above. Any
accumulation would be light and likely to occur within a 1-2 hour
time window. With this band of snow and the front coming through
early Thursday morning will come another round of wind. Expect gusts
of 20 to 25 kts Thursday morning into Thursday evening. Winds will
gradually diminish Thursday night as high pressure builds back into
the region.
VFR conditions return Thursday afternoon through Friday as high
pressure builds back into the region. Winds will shift from the
northwest Thursday to the west Friday. Gusts of 10 to 15 kts
Thursday evening and night will decrease to less than 10 kts
Friday.
VFR conditions are expected for all terminals this weekend with weak
high pressure moving in from the west. Winds should largely meander
between north to northwesterly. Although gradients are on the weaker
side, some afternoon gusts up to 15 knots are possible on Sunday.
