.AVIATION /08Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Widespread precipitation is lifting across the area this morning, mostly in the form of freezing rain. Air temperatures are marginal (31-33 deg) for accretion on elevated surfaces, while ground temperatures will likely be too warm for much ice to form. This precipitation also seems to be keeping ceilings up for the moment as guidance had widespread IFR to even LIFR conditions in place by this time. Do think we should eventually fall solidly into the IFR category through the morning hours. Temperatures will likely rise solidly above freezing by mid morning, and steadier rain will likely taper off some by midday but there could still be drizzle and mist in place. Low ceilings likely continue through the day as NE/E winds are slow to become southerly. An additional wave of rain is likely this evening, then guidance seems to be split whether IFR ceilings persist or the southerly winds are able to bump them into the MVFR category (or even VFR at CHO). Thereafter, details become much more uncertain as a front wavers near the region. Conditions will return to MVFR if not VFR for a time Wednesday, but additional rain showers will be possible. If the boundary remains overhead, low ceilings or fog could return Wednesday night. VFR conditions are likely much of the time on Thursday and Friday as a warm front remains north of the Mason-Dixon Line. This does come with some opportunities for showers which may aid in a few restrictions at times. The current wind forecast shows mainly south to southwesterly flow through Friday before turning easterly by Friday night. However, if the front to the north returns southward more quickly, more northern TAF sites could see a north to northeasterly wind earlier. AVIATION...ADS/BRO Update as of: 358 AM EST Tue Mar 3 2026
