.AVIATION /01Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Scattered light showers are ongoing this evening along the cold front, though impacts at the terminals will be limited to brief MVFR VSBY and CIGs. As the front continues to cross the area, could see additional showers overnight and some periods of MVFR CIGs again. IFR CIGs are possible at CHO, but confidence is low at this time. Conditions should improve to VFR at CHO by mid-morning Thursday. VFR conditions and light winds are expected for all tomorrow afternoon. Continued VFR conditions and westerly winds are forecast at the terminals for Friday. VFR likely prevails for much of the upcoming weekend, with the highest threat of sub-VFR conditions coming late Sunday as rain chances increase in association with an approaching cold front. Winds look southerly 10 kts or less with occasional gusts to 15 kts during the daylight hours. AVIATION...DHOF/KJP/KRR Update as of: 914 PM EDT Wed May 6 2026
