(06Z TAFs)
Issued at 137 AM EDT Tue May 28 2024

VFR conditions are forecast to continue across the terminals early
this morning with winds remaining light and variable. Winds will
pick up out of the west at 5 to 10 knots across all terminals
today, with some places along the coast gusting up to 15 knots at
times. An approaching weak frontal boundary combined with the
east coast sea breeze will lead to increasing rain and storm
chances across the area after 12Z, with VCSH and VCTS possible at
all terminals. Will likely need to add in TEMPOs with the next
forecast package as confidence in timing of storms increases.
Lingering VCSH will be possible until around 03Z along the coastal
terminals from the Cape southward. Activity will then diminish
after 03Z, with winds becoming light and variable.
