The Aviation Discussion was updated. && .KEY MESSAGES... 1. Mainly diurnal shower and thunderstorm chances expected through the the week. && .DISCUSSION... Key message 1: Mainly diurnal shower and thunderstorm chances expected through the the week. A sharp trough will slowly move east across the area through Wednesday knocking down the upper ridge over the area today. At the surface, a weak backdoor front drops south toward the area today, then stalls over the area on Tuesday. The front then washes out on Wednesday with weak high pressure near or to our east. These features will keep a moist and unstable airmass over the area, leading to mainly diurnal convection each day. High PW values and slow moving storms could lead to some heavy rainfall. The threat of flooding is low, but minor flooding could develop if training cells develop or high rain rates linger over one area. The threat of severe storms looks minimal at best with weak instability and lapse rates. With morning clouds and an earlier start to convection, highs over the western portion of the CWFA will see highs near to a few degrees below normal. With more sun and a later start to convection, highs over the I-77 corridor will be around 90. Highs Tuesday will be below normal across the forecast area with low clouds and a cooler airmass. Highs Wednesday rise back to around normal. Weak ridging returns Thursday before a series of shortwaves bring more zonal flow to the area. The moist and unstable airmass remains over the area with high pressure over or near the area and no significant frontal systems. This leads to continued chances of mainly diurnal convection each day. Highs rise to around 90 for many locations outside of the mountains Thursday through Sunday. Muggy dewpoints could lead to the potential for heat index values near 100, mainly south of the I-85 corridor for the weekend. && .AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... At KCLT and elsewhere: Starting out VFR with a few scattered showers and TSRA, with conditions expected to go down overnight into MVFR/IFR. Will keep a PROB30 going at KCLT for SHRA through 03z. Winds become very light to calm at most terminals overnight with BR, causing low cigs. KAVL could have vsby restrictions after 06z-12z of 3SM. The low stratus clouds in this humid environment linger into Tuesday as winds remain calm to very light through mid morning. Some terminals could have a few spots of -SHRA after 12z. Another round of TSRA at KCLT/KGSP/KAVL in the afternoon, so a PROB30 should suffice. Cigs look to come up in the afternoon into at least MVFR with prevailing VFR at KCLT after 21z. Light winds out of the S/SW for Tuesday afternoon. Outlook: Diurnal convection and associated restrictions are expected each day this week. Mtn valley fog and low stratus are possible each morning. && .GSP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...None. NC...None. SC...None. && $$ CP/$$
