.AVIATION /08Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
VFR conditions expected through Monday as a strong Canadian high
builds across the region. The main aviation impact today is going to
be from strong Northwest wind gusts. Winds begin to increase early
this morning, then peak late morning to early afternoon with gusts
around 25-30 knots. Winds slowly diminish tonight into Sunday. A few
flurries or light snow showers are possible at MRB today, though
confidence in where these could occur is too low to include in TAF
at this time. Some flurries possible at other terminals too.
Sub-VFR conditions are possible Tuesday and Wednesday as a frontal
boundary moves through the forecast area. Light and variable winds
are expected both days.
