The aviation discussion was updated for the 12z TAF issuance. && .KEY MESSAGES... 1. Dry through the new workweek before rain chances return over the weekend. Mainly near to above normal temperatures are expected, outside of below normal lows returning tonight. && .DISCUSSION... Key message 1: Dry through the new workweek before rain chances return over the weekend. Mainly near to above normal temperatures are expected, outside of below normal lows returning tonight. Upper cyclonic flow remains over the Southeast through Monday night before upper ridging gradually builds over the region mid to late week. At the surface, high pressure keeps dry conditions around through at least Thursday (per the latest global models). The latest run of the NBM remains dry on Thursday and has trended lower for PoPs on Friday. Confidence on PoPs returning Friday remains low as the GFS remains dry while the Euro and Canadian have some moisture returning. Confidence is higher on PoPs over the weekend as global models generally agree on widespread rain returning to the region, especially next Sunday. NBM PoPs reflect this, showing chance (30% to 54%) to likely (54% to 70%) PoPs. Highs through Monday will end up near to just above normal, trending a few to several degrees above normal Tuesday through Saturday. Highs on Sunday should drop back near normal. Below normal lows return tonight into daybreak Monday before trending above normal starting Tuesday night. Since dewpoints are expected to mix out each afternoon through Tuesday, blended in some lower guidance as NBM dewpoints are often too high in patterns like this. && .AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... At KCLT and elsewhere: Expect dry, VFR conditions with mostly clear skies to continue thru the 12z TAF period. Mtn valley fog has developed this morning in the usual areas, but like the past few mornings it hasn`t reached KAVL. We`ll likely see another round of mtn valley fog/low stratus Monday morning, but again, it probably won`t impact KAVL. Otherwise, winds will continue to favor a NWLY to NLY direction thru the period with speeds generally between 5 and 10 kts. KAVL will likely see more low-end gusts this afternoon and evening. Outlook: Dry, VFR conditions should persist into the middle of the week, however mtn valley fog/low stratus will be possible each morning. && .GSP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...None. NC...None. SC...None. && $$ AR/JPT
