.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
With the focus for convection shifting to the south, only KCHO
has convective groups in the TAF for today. At this point, any
activity has been lacking so will monitor trends during the next
shift. Otherwise, winds remain on the lighter side with some
restrictions possible heading into the overnight hours. Patchy
fog could yield some MVFR conditions, particularly across the
more western terminals.
Wednesday is looking fairly active across the area with the
potential for sub-VFR conditions at all TAF sites. There was
enough of a signal to go with a prevailing -TSRA group at KDCA,
KIAD, and KBWI between 20-00Z. A PROB30 group remains for the
few hours before given the potential for earlier convective
development. Otherwise, southerly winds increase through the day
with possible gusts up to 15 knots. Like previous nights, patchy
fog may develop. Convective chances decrease on Thursday, but
cannot rule out brief restrictions as air mass thunderstorms pop
up.
Prevailing VFR conditions are expected on both Friday and Saturday.
A thunderstorm could lead to brief restrictions either afternoon or
evening. Winds will generally be out of the northwest on Friday, and
out of the south on Saturday.
