.AVIATION...
[Through 06Z Monday]

Showers are moving up from north-central will affect SGJ and in
the vicinity of GNV for the next couple of hours. Otherwise,
guidance is still supportive for low clouds and patchy fog to
develop over TAF sites near and after 06z with a a chance of IFR
in the pre-dawn hours due to low ceilings. Ceilings begin to lift
after sunrise with MVFR CIGs in the morning and potentially
lingering into the afternoon as scattered showers affect the TAF
sites. Light south sfc winds tonight will become southwest Sunday,
then shift to westerly late in the day as a cold front moves
through the region. Low stratus will be possible tonight.
