.DISCUSSION...
As of 200 PM Wednesday...
KEY MESSAGE 1... A more typical summertime pattern returns to
central North Carolina over the next week, with diurnally-driven
scattered thunderstorms and highs in the 90s.
As opposed to the last several days, where showers and thunderstorm
coverage has been more widespread and highs have been in the 80s,
the coverage of precipitation should be less over the next week.
Precipitable water values have been well over 2 inches, and will
drop closer to 2 inches, which is at or slightly above normal for
this time of year. In addition, there will be fewer synoptic
features serving to force any precipitation. Any frontal boundaries
should remain closer to the US/Canadian border, and after a broad
upper trough moves over the East Coast this weekend, the mid level
flow becomes more zonal. Each day there will likely be isolated to
scattered thunderstorms, but overall, less people will be receiving
rain each day. The surface wind will generally be light and out of
the southwest, which should allow some warmer air to eventually
filter into the region. Friday is the first day in the forecast
where most locations will reach the lower 90s, and mid 90s don`t
appear likely to return to the majority of the region until at least
Tuesday. Lows will be in the upper 60s and lower 70s.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 745 PM Wednesday...
24-hour TAF period: Scattered showers/storms will be near KINT
through midnight or 100 AM, otherwise generally VFR conditions
will give way to IFR cigs later tonight (09z-10z). These low stratus
will linger through around 13z-14z Thursday. VFR conditions are
expected after 14z, with a chance of a PM shower or storm between
20z/Thursday and 03z/Friday.
Outlook: Widely scattered PM showers and thunderstorms will remain
in the forecast late week into the weekend. Otherwise, generally VFR
conditions with the exception of early morning stratus.

.RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
None.
