.DISCUSSION...
As of 108 AM Tuesday...

KEY MESSAGE 1... Hot temperatures return mid through late week. A
slow moving cold front will bring a good shot at showers and
thunderstorms and much needed rain/cooler temperatures, especially
over the weekend.

It appears widespread 90+ degree temperatures will return Thursday
and Friday as surface high pressure will be offshore and the
mid/upper level ridging will shift to the SE states. It appears the
hottest day will likely be Thursday under the ridge. A break in the
ridge and a developing Ohio Valley to central Appalachians trough
will approach Friday lowering mid level heights enough so that the
temperatures may back off a few degrees. Expect lower to mid 90s
on Thursday and upper 80s to lower 90s Friday. These temperatures
will back off considerably this weekend as the upper trough develops
over the Ohio into the TN valley region increasing moisture,
cloudiness. and likely showers/storms over the weekend. Expect highs
in the 80s except around 90 in the SE.

The aforementioned approaching trough will also be accompanied by a
pre-frontal trough and a surface front (or two). These features
should allow for a likelihood 60-70 percent chance of mainly PM
showers/storms both Saturday and Sunday. We will update any severe
threat in upcoming forecasts. At the moment, it appears wind shear
may be lacking but instability will be high.

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 1215 PM Tuesday...

VFR conditions are likely to dominate across central NC for the next
24 hours, with high confidence. High pressure centered near the Mid
Atlantic coast will continue to extend SW across our area through
Wed, as its center pushes slowly E and further offshore. This will
keep cloud cover minimal, restricted to some flat cu and sct mid and
high clouds at most. Due to good radiational cooling conditions
including fair skies and nearly calm air tonight, patchy shallow fog
producing brief MVFR vsbys is possible at RWI toward and around
daybreak. Elsewhere, the fog risk is low. Surface winds will remain
light and variable or from the E or NE.

Looking beyond 18z Wed, VFR conditions should prevail across central
NC through at least Thu, with generally dry weather, although an
isolated storm is possible in our far SE late Thu. Then, late Thu
night into Fri morning, there is a risk for fog and low clouds
producing sub-VFR conditions, mainly in our SE (FAY). The chance for
showers and storms and resulting flight restrictions increases late
Fri and reaches a peak Sat into Sun, as a cold front moves in from
the NW and stalls across the Carolinas.
