.AVIATION /14Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... A few sprinkles could occur the remainder of this morning near IAD, DCA, BWI and MTN as a warm front to the southwest approaches and a line of rain showers precedes it. Otherwise, a passing cold front could bring a few showers and perhaps a rumble of thunder to MRB this afternoon and to IAD, DCA, BWI and MTN later this afternoon and this evening. Some LLWS is possible if surface winds go light or maintain a more S/SE component into the evening as winds increase and veer aloft. Otherwise SE to S and eventually SW winds are expected through tonight, becoming W late. Winds will gust around 15 knots this afternoon. By this evening, southerly gusts of 15-20 knots become more likely, though gusts may be occasional given reduced diurnal mixing. Once the cold front crosses, an uptick in wind gusts is likely. Blustery conditions are expected on both Sunday and Monday with a relative minimum during the overnight hours. An initial wave of gusts is possible (25-35 knots) Sunday morning in the wake of the cold front and as diurnal mixing increases. Gusts may level off a bit before increasing again later in the day into the early evening as a secondary front surges through. Gusts to around 40 knots may be possible during this time. Monday will be breezy as well with 20-30 knot gusts likely. All of this is out of a west to northwest direction. High pressure building in Monday night will cause winds to become much lighter. Sub-VFR ceilings and rain appear possible at times during the day Tuesday. VFR conditions will return for Wednesday. Winds are expected to be light and variable on Tuesday, and then light out of the north on Wednesday. AVIATION...KLW/DHOF/KJP Update as of: 1021 AM EST Sat Nov 15 2025
