I don't follow. If you're assuming the weather at WAY is similar to the
weather at MGW, then just the need to do an approach at MGW should tell
you
that an approach is needed at WAY. Since WAY has no approach you won't be
able to get in.

There are 2 possible situations where it makes sense to do the approach to
MGW and then go IFR to WAY:


(1) If I need to descend through an icing layer or potential icing layer to
get down to VFR conditions, I would rather do that descent to the longer,
ILS-equipped runway at MGW than to WAY. If I get any icing on the descent,
I will land at MGW. If I get no icing on descent, I will proceed to WAY,
but if visibility is margainal (say 3 miles) I would prefer to proceed IFR
to WAY.

(2) If reported weather is such that I do not think I will get into WAY (say
1500-2) but I break out at MGW and realize the weather is better than
expected (say 2500-3 in light rain), I would give it a try at WAY but I
would still want to proceed IFR from MGW to WAY if visibility is legal but
marginal for VFR.
