Satellite imagery and surface observations show a deck of scattered clouds around 7,000 to 10,000 ft over terminals this evening. Radar also shows a few weak showers near and just east of KOFK, but low level dry air should result in little if any precipitation reaching the surface. Chances for rain showers remain at 15% or less. Ceilings largely clear out after 06z. Gusty southerly winds subside to under 12 kts early this evening and turn east northeast overnight. Winds under 12 kts prevail for much of Friday from the southeast.
