.AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
High confidence in VFR conditions through the forecast period
although lowering cigs expected through the day Tuesday.

Cold and dry high pressure continues to build into the region
from a strong high pressure system centered over the Central 
Plains. Satellite imagery shows clear skies across the region
but a blanket of mid level clouds is advancing northeastward
along the Gulf Coast. Winds have diminished to near calm in many
locations but are expected to pick back up a bit around 5 knots
or less from the northeast after midnight. High clouds
associated with the developing storm system along the Gulf Coast
should arrive overnight with lowering cigs through the day
Tuesday as moisture advects into the area from aloft.
Northeasterly winds pick up to 5 to 10 knots through the morning
hours and eventually shift to the northwest by later afternoon.
Some light snow is forecast to begin moving into the area mid
afternoon but initially lots of dry air in the lower 5kft will
have to be overcome so not confident it will reach CAE/CUB
before the end of the period. Did go ahead and include a mention
of -SN at AGS/DNL after 20z and OGB 21z with lowering cigs to
around 5kft but no vsby restrictions at this time due to low
confidence. Think most restrictions will occur around 00z and
beyond into the evening as lower levels saturate further.

.EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...Restrictions possible Tuesday 
night as moisture increases and low pressure moves near the 
coast with some possible wintry precipitation Tuesday night into
Wednesday morning.
