SOUTHWARD INTO SOUTH CAROLINA TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN
BUILD ACROSS THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC REGION THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE

AS OF 815 PM MONDAY...

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY DURING MID-EVENING SHOWED A SHARP SHORTWAVE
MOVING EAST ACROSS THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE VALLEYS...MOVING EAST INTO
NORTH CAROLINA. AHEAD OF THE SHORTWAVE...GOOD DIFFLUENCE WAS IN
PLACE...WITH THE LATEST MSAS IMAGERY SHOWING GOOD CONVERGENCE MAINLY
ALONG AND SOUTH OF U.S. 64. BUFR SOUNDINGS SHOW GOOD INSTABILITY
ESPECIALLY EAST OF THE TRIAD CONTINUING THROUGH THE EVENING...
GRADUALLY WANING OVERNIGHT. WITH THE MOISTURE IN PLACE AHEAD OF THE
SHORTWAVE...WHILE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL MAY BE ON THE DECREASE
THIS EVENING DUE TO DIURNAL EFFECTS...WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE
SUFFICIENT LIFT FOR SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
OVERNIGHT...THE NAM BUFR SOUNDINGS IN PARTICULAR SHOW ENOUGH
LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE...WITH MODESTLY INCREASINGLY WINDS NEAR THE TOP
OF THE BOUNDARY LAYER...TO SUGGEST AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS NEAR THE
TRANSITION IN HEIGHT FROM MVFR TO IFR. AS A RESULT...LOWS SHOULD BE
HELD UP A BIT BY MULTI-LAYER CLOUD COVER...INCLUDING LOW STRATUS AND
POSSIBLY AREAS OF FOG IN MOIST LOW LEVEL NORTHEASTERLY
FLOW...GENERALLY 63 TO 69 DEGREES EXPECTED.

TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT: MORNING FOG AND STRATUS SHOULD DISPERSE
BY MID-MORNING AND GIVE WAY TO MOSTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS...AS COOLER
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO BUILD INTO VA AND NC...BENEATH
SUBSIDENT MID-UPPER LEVEL RIDGING THAT WILL OVERSPREAD OUR FORECAST
AREA IN THE WAKE OF THE CURRENT EAST COAST TROUGH. HIGHS IN THE
MIDDLE TO UPPER 80S. WHAT SHOULD BE EXCELLENT RADIATIONAL COOLING
CONDITIONS WITHIN THE SURFACE RIDGE AXIS SHOULD ALLOW TEMPERATURES
TO DIP IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 60S (WITH SOME UPPER 50S POSSIBLE IN
THE TYPICALLY COOLER OUTLYING AREAS)...WITH A RESULTANT PROBABILITY
OF PATCHY...PRE-DAWN RADIATION FOG.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 230 PM...

MODEL IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE MAJOR HEMISPHERIC FEATURES FOR THIS
PERIOD. EAST WEST RIDGING ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST AND SOUTHWESTERN
UNITED STATES WEDNESDAY MORNING BUILDS UP THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
DURING THE DAY IN RESPONSE TO AN AN APPROACHING TROUGH INITIALLY
OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THE TROUGH THEN BEGINS TO SHIFT THE
RIDGE OVER THE GREAT LAKES THURSDAY NIGHT. AT THE SURFACE RIDGING
NOSING DOWN FROM NEW ENGLAND WILL KEEP MOSTLY NORTHEAST TO EAST
SURFACE FLOW OVER CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA. FORECAST WILL BE DRY WITH
THE EXCEPTION OF A LOW CONFIDENCE SLIGHT RAIN CHANCE FOR THURSDAY.
VERY SUBTLE FEATURE ON THE GFS HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY FORECAST BY
THAT MODELS TO POTENTIALLY DRIVE SOME PRECIPITATION INTO THE AREA
FROM THE NORTHWEST THURSDAY. HOWEVER THIS FEATURE IS ABSENT ON OTHER
MODELS OR MORE NORTH OR SLOWER IN SPEED.

PERSISTENCE FORECAST WITH LITTLE CHANGE IN AIR MASS OR FLOW AND
CLIMATOLOGICAL LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES... NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE
FORECAST. HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S. LOW
TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 60S.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM...

MODELS IN ABOVE NORMAL AGREEMENT FOR FORECASTS SO FAR OUT IN TIME. A
WAVE IS FORECAST TO ROUND THE BACK SIDE OF THE OFFSHORE LOW FRIDAY.
THE CURRENT 30 PERCENT RAIN CHANCE ACCEPTED AND MAY NEED TO BE
RAISED AS CONFIDENCE IN THE MODELS GROWS. THE UPPER RIDGE LEANS
TOWARD NEW ENGLAND SATURDAY BUT REMAINS WEST OF OUR AREA. THE AIR
MASS IS LARGELY MOIST ADIABATIC ALOFT WITH WEAK INSTABILITY AND
CAPE... AND PRECIPITABLE WATERS NEAR 1.5 INCHES. A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS WITH AFTERNOON HEATING WILL BE INTRODUCED. THE AIR
MASS MOISTENS FOR SUNDAY AS THE UPPER RIDGE WEAKENS AND DROPS TO
THE SOUTHEAST... AND RAIN CHANCES SUNDAY AFTERNOON PUSHED TO 40
PERCENT. WITH A MID WEST UPPER TROUGH DIVING TOWARD THE OHIO VALLEY
MONDAY... INCREASING WINDS AND DYNAMICS AHEAD OF THE TROUGH SHOULD
RAISE RAIN CHANCES TO A COIN FLIP FOR MONDAY. AFTERNOON HIGH
TEMPERATURES MOSTLY MID 80S FRIDAY... UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S FOR THE
WEEKEND... AND MID 80S MONDAY. OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES 65 TO 70.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 815 PM MONDAY...

SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRODUCE AREAS
OF MVFR AND IFR CONDITIONS THIS EVENING. WHILE THE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WANE OVERNIGHT...MODESTLY INCREASING WINDS NEAR THE
TOP OF THE BOUNDARY LAYER SHOULD BE ENOUGH WITH LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE
AND LIFT TO PRODUCE AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS LATE TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY
MORNING. MOST OF THE MODEL SOUNDINGS WOULD SUGGEST CLOUD BASES IN
THE LOW MVFR RANGE...BUT ISOLATED IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE AND
HAVE FORECAST THAT FOR A PERIOD LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY AT
KFAY AND KRWI. UNFORTUNATELY...AMD NOT SKED AT KINT AND KRWI DUE TO
ISSUES RECEIVING THE OBSERVATIONS AT BOTH SITES.

THE LOW CLOUDS AND ANY FOG WILL GRADUALLY LIFT...SCATTER...AND GIVE
WAY TO VFR CONDITIONS BY AROUND MID MORNING TUESDAY...AS DRY AND
STABLE HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO RIDGE ACROSS THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC
REGION. NORTHEAST TO EAST WINDS...GUSTY IN THE TEENS KNOTS WITH
