.DISCUSSION...
Key message 1: Scattered showers and thunderstorms expected this
afternoon into early evening. A few storms will pose a damaging
wind threat. Today will be the last hot and muggy day before a
cold front pushes through the area tonight.

A remnant MCV/vort-max currently over central TN will enter
the southern Appalachians around midday today, helping trigger
convection across the NC mountains. The CAMs have not initialized
convection associated with the MCV very well, but the HRRR has been
picking up on it in recent runs. It has the greatest coverage of
storms across the mountains this aftn, then showing scattered
activity tracking east across the NC Piedmont and northern
Upstate. Modest instability and 20-30 kt of 0-6 km bulk shear
may be enough to cause some organization of multi-cell clusters
around outflows. More mid-level moisture from upstream convection
may result in lower DCAPE, which may limit severe wind potential
somewhat. Nevertheless, a few severe storms producing damaging wind
gusts still looks on tap for the area. The new Day 1 Convective
Outlook still has the entire area in a Slight Risk.

Otherwise, it will be another hot and humid day. The latest NBM
has trended down slightly on max temps, possibly due to convection
developing before max heating. Also, dewpts are expected to mix
out into the 60s again across most of the area, helping keep heat
indices mainly in the 90s outside the mountains, with 100-104
possible in the Charlotte metro area. Convection should exit to
the east late this evening, but additional showers and possibly
isolated thunderstorms are shown on the CAMs developing near the
sfc front as it pushes in from TN. This activity is not expected
to be strong and not expected to survive east into the Piedmont.


Key message 2: Drier and slightly below-normal temperatures Monday
trough Wednesday, with moisture and rain chances increasing in
the second half of the week.

A cold front will push thru the area by daybreak Monday, ushering
in cooler, and drier air for the first half of the week. Temps
a little below normal combined with dewpts dropping into the 50s
to lower 60s will feel rather comfortable compared to what we`ve
experienced the last few days. Model consensus is for generally dry
weather, except for some slight chc to low-end chc PoPs sneaking
into the far southern parts of the forecast area, as the front
stalls out not to far south. A series of shortwaves will ride
through the broad upper trough and could trigger some lift over
the stalled front and bring moisture northward.

The latest deterministic models are in better agreement on the
pattern late in the week. They show the trough flattening out,
but lingering enough to possibly allow a tropical disturbance
(or at least enhanced tropical moisture) to lift north into the
NW Gulf and interact with the stalled frontal zone near the Gulf
Coast. Meanwhile, another cold front will drop southeast across the
Midwest to the Ohio Valley, likely reaching the CWFA on Friday. Not
surprisingly, the NBM has PoPs increasing Thursday, and peaking to
likely to categorical PoPs on Friday. As far as severe and heavy
rain threats, confidence remains low this far out. Temperatures
return to slightly above normal.

.AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
At KCLT and elsewhere: Confidence remains below average for timing
of convection today, as guidance shows scattered showers and
storms forming with a leading disturbance early aftn, then another
round possible in the evening with a cold front. Still expect the
first round to be stronger, but some guidance is trending toward
second round having more coverage. Did not make major changes
to the PROB30s for TS today. Winds will pick up out of the SW
and become gusty east of the mountains, with gusts around 20 kt
expected. There is potential for at least a few gusts approaching
25 kt during mid to late aftn in the Upstate and at KCLT. Winds
will weaken this evening, toggling to WSW, except NW at KAVL. The
cold front will pass through KCLT by around 12z Monday, shifting
the winds out of the NW. Behind the front, MVFR clouds may work
up the valley to KAVL overnight with breezy north winds.

Outlook: Quiet conditions expected Monday thru midweek. Valley fog
and low stratus is possible each morning, primarily in the mountain
valleys. Diurnal convection may return to the region Thursday.
