.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1239 PM EDT Fri Apr 19 2024

Prevailing VFR conditions are anticipated through the period
across terminals. West to northwesterly winds become light and
variable overnight, which along with clear skies should support
low clouds and fog developing close to sunrise. Clouds are
expected to gradually dissipate once the sun is out and the sea
breeze brings onshore winds in the afternoon.

.UPDATE...
Issued at 853 AM EDT Fri Apr 19 2024

Most of the low clouds have lifted across the area and beautiful
skies are anticipated through the day. This is thanks to a fairly
dry airmass over the Peninsula as high pressure continues to
dominate weather conditions. Light winds should prevail until the
afternoon when the sea breeze moves in and winds become onshore.
Slightly warmer conditions are expected with highs climbing up
into the upper 80s and low 90s.
