.AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A weak cold front has passed through much of the area, with NNW
winds remaining in the 9-15kt range. Winds should weaken as the
night progresses and high pressure builds in from the north. 
Ceilings have not fallen as far as guidance originally suggested
earlier in the evening, with mostly MVFR/Fuel Alt ceilings. The
cloud decks moving into the area from the west and north are
also in the 1500-2000ft range. With the current obs and guidance
backing off on the IFR chances, it has been taken out of these
TAFs for tonight. ITH could see some IFR ceilings before
sunrise, but confidence in this occurring is too low to include
in the TAFs. All terminals should lift to VFR in the morning
hours. 

The front will lift back north in the afternoon, bringing
scattered rain showers and isolated thunderstorms. Confidence in
location and timing of precip coverage is too low at this time
to include in the TAFs, but if a storm did move over a terminal,
brief periods of IFR visby will be possible. 

A low level jet strengthens in the late evening/early overnight
hours, bringing low level wind shear up to FL020 between
40-50kts at all terminals starting around 00z thru the end of
the TAF period.


Outlook:

Saturday Night...Flight restrictions likely in periods of
showers and possible thunderstorms. LLWS up to 50kts possible
into the early morning hours.

Sunday...A frontal system crosses the region with additional 
showers and restrictions possible, especially early in the day.

Monday and Tuesday...Mainly VFR with a low chance of rain and
snow showers.

Wednesday...Mainly VFR.
