.SYNOPSIS...

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
As of 150 PM Thursday: Within the seasonably rich PWAT airmass,
SBCAPE values have blossomed to more than 2000 j/kg, and within this
axis, deep convection has become numerous.  As the afternoon wears
on, aided by a weak to moderate westerly steering flow and
additional formation on eastward moving outflow boundaries, isolated
foothills and piedmont activity should become numerous as well.
Thermodynamic profiles depict moist profiles with thin tall CAPE.
Despite at least some eastward motion with storms today, scattered
storms will have the tendency to train leading to isolated excessive
rainfall with efficient rainfall rates.  In addition, despite paltry
downdraft CAPE values, a few storms will pulse to severe limits,
resulting in areas of damaging wind gusts.  Unlike last night, the
CAM consensus translates clusters of tstms east of the cwfa by 02z.
Given the moist boundary layer and weak sw flow, widespread low
clouds and locally dense fog is likely.  Not very much changes with
respect to the weather pattern for Friday, still some westerly flow,
developing moderate instability and seasonably rich moisture.
Sensible wx will feature diurnally enhanced tstms becoming numerous
again with isolated gusty storms and locally excessive rainfall
possible.

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
As of 12:10 PM EDT Thursday: Mid level ridging will remain in place
across the region for the weekend. High temperatures will begin to
heat up again to 2-5 degrees above normal after a brief break from
well above normal readings today and Friday. Heat indices are not
expected to be an issue.

With the abundant moisture in place, we expected shower and
thunderstorm development each afternoon and evening with the highest
pops in the afternoon and evening.

To summarize, it will be pretty typical summer weather.

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
As of 12:35 PM EDT Thursday: Mid level ridging will continue into
the early and middle parts of next week with typical summertime
conditions. Highs early int the week should be 3-5 degrees above
normal on Monday, then trending slightly less hot with highs near
normal by mid week. The chance of showers and thunderstorms will
continue each day mainly during the afternoon and evening.

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
At KCLT and elsewhere: Numerous showers and thunderstorms will
continue to percolate and move east across the FA into early
evening.  With the cvrg expected to remain and/or become numerous,
the probability of seeing a tstm at any specific terminal location
remains high enough to carry a tempo for tsra through 22-23z.
Convection allowing models spread outflow aided clusters of
thunderstorms east of the FA in the 01-02z timeframe.  Given the
weak sw flow and very moist blyr, expect another night of widespread
low clouds and fog.  After this afternoon`s rainfall, locally dense
fog is probable as well.  Slow improvement in the pre-dawn flight
restrictions is expected as the morning hours wear on with the onset
of thunderstorm chances in the mtns by 17z.

Outlook: Typical summertime weather is expected into early next
week, with scattered to numerous thunderstorms mainly in the
afternoon/evening and fog and/or low stratus possible each morning.
