.AVIATION /07Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
VFR conditions continue across the terminals this morning with
light winds expected. Snow showers are possible across all
terminals this afternoon, with little to no accumulation
expected. The main hazard expected with snow showers will be
slightly increased gusts and reduced visibilities. Currently
have -SHSN in PROB30 groups as guidance continues to shift
south. For the 12Z TAFs, will likely include in prevailing
groups, especially at KMRB where confidence is highest. Periods
of heavier snowfall are possible, leading to potential IFR or
LIFR conditions. Additionally, the frontal passage will result
in a wind shift to northwest winds.
A powerful Arctic front crosses the area early Saturday morning.
Light winds will rapidly increase from the northwest around
daybreak Saturday, with gusts of 40-50 kt ensuing and lasting
through the afternoon. A few gusts above 50kt are possible at
times, but the majority will likely be in the mid to upper 40kt
range. Winds begin to decrease in the late afternoon, but still
gusting 30-35 kt into the evening.
Once this weekend's low passes through, winds should be fairly
benign for the early portion of next week. Winds will likely shift
SE overnight on Monday, and generally stay at 5-10 knots until a
potential Wednesday low increases gust potential. VFR conditions
likely for Monday and Tuesday, although a southern pressure gradient
may cause some lower CIGs Monday night at KMRB.
