.DISCUSSION...
As of 200 AM Saturday...

KEY MESSAGE 1... Will update soon.

KEY MESSAGE 2... Cooler than normal temperatures expected Tuesday
and Wednesday across central NC, with highs running 1520 degrees
below mid-March averages.

In the wake of Mondays cold front, cooler and drier air will filter
into central North Carolina late Monday night into Tuesday. A broad
upper-level trough settling over the eastern US will reinforce cold
air advection through the day Tuesday, keeping temperatures below
mid-March climatology.

High temperatures are expected to reach only the upper 40s to near
50 across the region Tuesday, which is roughly 15-20 degrees below
normal for this time of year. Gusty west to northwest winds may also
persist through much of the day Tuesday, with early morning wind
chills in the 20s. Tuesday night lows will be in the mid to upper
20s with some cooler spots in the low 20s.

AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
As of 200 AM Saturday...

VFR conditions will prevail across central NC through the 06Z TAF
period. Very few high clouds will continue to stream across the
region overnight ahead of an approaching upper trough. Surface winds
early this morning will be light from the southwest around 510 kts
before becoming light and variable toward daybreak.

Low-level wind shear will be present through the early morning hours
at all terminals as a strengthening low-level jet develops overhead,
with winds around 3540 kt near 2kft while surface winds remain
light. This shear is expected to diminish by roughly 0910Z as the
boundary layer begins to mix. Aside from the brief LLWS, aviation
impacts are expected to remain minimal with continued VFR conditions.

Outlook: Increased moisture may allow sub-VFR conditions to develop
as early as Sunday morning. Showers and thunderstorms will become
possible Sunday afternoon into Monday as the next weather system
approaches, with gusty winds likely. Severe weather will be possible
on Monday afternoon/evening with flight restrictions expected. Dry
weather and VFR conditions are expected to return Tuesday.
