.AVIATION /14Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... Light to moderate rain showers continue to pivot toward the east-northeast this morning. Consequently, ceilings remain along the fringes of IFR to MVFR. However, most recent trends have pulled ceilings to around 1,200 to 1,500 feet. As showers pass through, these could briefly lower at times. Some improvement is expected by midday/early afternoon as steadier rain exits. However, VFR may not completely return until late afternoon. A few northwest wind gusts to 20 kt could occur, but winds should generally be light. CHO may clear out this afternoon, offering an opportunity for heavier showers or thunderstorms to develop, but confidence in direct impact remains low at this time. VFR conditions will prevail tonight through the weekend. Northwest winds may gust 20-25 kt Saturday, especially in the morning. Lighter north winds are expected Sunday. VFR conditions Monday with light winds out of the southeast. Restrictions possible heading into Tuesday and Wednesday as low pressure and corresponding rain/clouds move through. Winds generally southeast Tuesday into Wednesday with gusts to 15 kts. AVIATION...ADS/BRO/CPB Update as of: 1012 AM EDT Fri May 9 2025
