Area Forecast Discussion

.SYNOPSIS...
Mostly dry high pressure controls our weather through Wednesday
night.  Seasonably hot and humid weather returns late in the week
with numerous showers and storms each afternoon and evening.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 1000 PM Tuesday: A weak cold front is finally starting to
push east off the escarpment, still kicking off convection across
the NC Foothills and Piedmont. Some cells are still managing to
get tall enough for some gusty winds, but the overall trends are
downward. The front should push off to the southeast overnight
as the mid level trof axis moves overhead from the west. That,
combined with the loss of daytime heating, should bring an end to
the storm threat as it moves out of the fcst area. Some drier air
will attempt to move in behind the boundary overnight with a high
pressure air mass settling over the OH Valley/central Appalachians
by daybreak Wednesday. Can`t rule out the mountain valley fog. For
Wednesday, not much temperature change, but the humidity should
be a bit lower, which will be nice. Closer proximity to lingering
moisture to our east may permit a few showers on our eastern border
in the afternoon, and an isolated shower over the Balsams would
not be a surprise, but most places will stay sunny and rain-free.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 115 PM Tue: Mid level ridging will be in place across the
region for the short term period. This will lead to a typical early
summer pattern across the region with scattered showers and
thunderstorms expected mainly during the afternoon and evening
hours. Highs and lows during this period will be slightly above
normal.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 130 PM Tue: The mid level ridging will be gradually suppressed
to the south over the weekend into early next week. This will allow
a more active storm pattern with a few weak disturbances pushing
through the area. Thus, pops will be higher and dewpoints will climb
toward 70 outside the mountains during this period. Temperatures
will remain slightly above normal for highs, but trend toward about
5 degrees above normal for overnight lows.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
At KCLT and elsewhere: Convection firing up again along the
eastern escarpment, mainly showers, but some TS still possible as
it tracks into the NC foothills and Piedmont. Will keep a PROB30
at KCLT for another hour, since convection is nearby and could
affect the terminal, but confidence is not high enuf to go with a
tempo. Otherwise, converage now too low for anything but VCSH to
start the 00z TAFs. Convection should wane by late evening. Some
drier air working in from the N/NW should limit any fog development
at the TAF sites, but KHKY looks to have the highest chances,
with some rain earlier today at the terminal. Wind will become
variable or calm tonight, then favor a N/NE direction early Wed
morning. Quiet weather expected Wednesday, with few to scattered
cu and light winds.

Outlook: VFR should continue through Wednesday night. Mainly
diurnal thunderstorms return Thursday and will persist each
afternoon/evening into the weekend. There will be potential for late
night and early morning fog and low stratus restrictions each day.
