.SYNOPSIS...
Abundant moisture over the Southeast will keep scattered to numerous
showers with mainly afternoon thunderstorms through Thursday. As a
somewhat shallow upper ridge builds over our region during the
weekend and early next week, temperatures warm to near normal.
Afternoon thunderstorms become more isolated to scattered into early
next.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Key Messages:
1) Muggy conditions stick around through the near term.
2) Widespread rainfall expected overnight and into Wednesday, with
isolated flash flooding concerns possible.
As of 125 AM EDT Wednesday: Starting off the forecast period in a
soupy mess of showers and gross humidity. Ongoing showers and
thunderstorms are currently moving across the CWA from the SW and
should continue throughout the night, especially across the mountain
zones. Taking a look at the synoptic setup, A weakening trough over
the central CONUS pushes eastward and gets absorbed into the general
flow today. Meanwhile, high pressure over the Atlantic churns and
brings a conveyer belt of moisture into the area, along with
embedded shortwaves through the day and into Wednesday evening. The
first shortwave is enhancing rain fall currently sweeping across the
CWA. Guidance from CAMs overnight show multiple rounds concentrated
across the mountains and NC Foothills. The PMM from the SHREF
continues to back off on rain total amounts, however, in this broad
warm sector with PWATs well over 2 inches, there could still be
areas with locally higher amounts. Looking at 1-2" through Wednesday
night, but higher amounts can occur with any convective cells. With
500-1000 J/kg of sbCAPE still lingering across the mountains, higher
rain amounts are possible. After daybreak, again, multiple rounds of
rain in the mountains as the next shortwave curves around the
western edge of the high pressure system. For this, the Weather
Prediction Center keeps portions of the area in a Slight Risk (level
2 of 5) for excessive rain. One factor working in favor of not
contributing to even higher rainfall amounts are the light SW
surface winds. This significantly reduces the amount of mechanical
lifting along the terrain and keeps from piling up the rain totals.
Regardless, in this soupy environment and already saturated ground,
any rain that does fall is likely going to cause flooding issues
especially in poor drainage areas, lower points, and roadways. By
Wednesday night, PoPs go down to 30-50% as the high pressure axis
shifts. Temperatures don`t change and remain in the mid to upper 80s
east of the mountains.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
As of 120 AM Wednesday: Heights slowly rise across the Southeast as
a trough moves east of the area and an anticyclone builds from the
Gulf Coast into the Mid-south. At the surface, high pressure settles
over the southern Appalachians with a lee trough remaining in place
to its east. A cold front approaches from the NW on Thursday but
dissipates before reaching the area. It then redevelops to our south
on Friday. The very moist and moderately unstable air mass remains
in place Thursday with numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms
during the afternoon and evening. The deep moisture moves out of the
area for Friday, returning the sensible weather to more of a typical
summertime diurnal convective pattern. Highs rise to near normal
Thursday then slightly above normal for Friday. Despite the drying,
dew points will be high enough Friday for a smattering of heat index
values around 100 along and south of the I-85 corridor.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 145 AM Wednesday: The upper anticyclone centered over the Mid-
south slowly retrogrades allowing a northwesterly flow to develop
over our area by Tuesday. Surface high pressure remains over the
area through the period. A cold front moves toward the area from the
NW Monday and Tuesday but never reaches our area. The relatively
moist and moderately unstable air mass over the area Saturday leads
to scattered diurnal convection. The diurnal convection becomes more
isolated, with potential for scattered coverage over the mountains,
through the rest of the period with an overall slightly drier air
mass. Highs steadily rise to a few degrees above normal by Monday
then drop back a few degrees below normal for Tuesday. The drying
air mass helps keep the heat index below 100 degrees through the
period.
&&
.AVIATION /12Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
At KCLT and elsewhere: Showers continue to move across the area with
a mix of VFR/MVFR at the sites. A few areas of IFR/LIFR is starting
develop as BR is forming this morning. There could be a brief MVFR
restriction at KCLT before sunrise but confidence is low as SHRA
continues. VFR/MVFR for this morning before more rounds of RA and
TSRA this afternoon, especially at the mountain terminals. Higher
confidence adds a TEMPO for TSRA at KAVL and KHKY. Elsewhere is
covering the rain chances with PROB30s or prevailing SHRA/VCSH. The
environment continiues to be primed for showers to pop up during the
TAF period. Winds are expected to pick up but remain light, 5-10 kts
winds out of the SW. Another day ahead with multiple rounds of
showers and TSRA possible so covered this with yet another PROB30.
Towards the end of the TAF period, vsby restrictions return,
especially for the mountains terminals with IFR and even LIFR
possible.
Outlook: Showers and thunderstorms with associated restrictions
are expected across the area each day this week. Morning fog/low
stratus is also possible, especially across the mountain valleys.
