The well-advertised strong cold front swept across the region

over the next few hours. CIGs have already returned to VFR
inland, with MVFR lingering along the immediate coast from ECG
to SBY through 07-09z/2-4 AM EST before returning to VFR. NW
winds will average 10-15 kt through around and just after
sunrise, then increase and shift to the W at 15-18 kt with gusts
to around 25 kt from late morning through early evening.
Increasing aftn clouds are expected, but CIGs should remain VFR,
averaging 6-8 Kft AGL.
Outlook: Gusty W-NW winds continue Fri-Sat, with less wind by
Sunday. Scattered to numerous showers and flight restrictions
are expected across N/NE sections of the area Friday aftn/Fri
