SATURDAY AS REMNANTS OF BILL MOVE NORTH OF NORTH CAROLINA. STRONG
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WITH HIGH PRESSURE TO THE SOUTHEAST AND LOW

TEMPERATURES A COUPLE OF DEGREES BELOW FRIDAYS VALUES...BUT STILL IN
THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 90S. ENERGY WILL REMAIN WEST AND NORTH OF AREA

PERIOD. HOTTEST TEMPS EXPECTED SUN- WED WITH 95-100 INLAND EACH
DAY. HEAT INDICES WILL LIKELY REACH 105+ DEGREES EACH AFTERNOON
FOR MOST OF E NC.

SATURDAY NIGHT...ONLY AN ISO THUNDERSHOWER POSSIBLE THROUGH THE
NIGHT AS ATMS WILL BE VERY WARM AND MOIST WITH LOWS IN THE MID/UPR
70S INLAND TO LOW 80S COAST. SW GRADIENT INCREASES AND WILL
PRECLUDE ANY FOG THREAT.

SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT...THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION BILL
TRACK ALONG THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY SATURDAY NIGHT AND OFF THE DELMARVA
PENINSULA ON SUNDAY. THE SHORTWAVE/VORTMAX ASSOCIATED WITH THE TD
REMNANTS WILL TAKE ON A SHEARED APPEARANCE SUNDAY AS IT TRAVERSES
THROUGH NORTHERN NC AND VA. HAVE A CHANCE POP FOR FIRST PART OF
SUNDAY AS UPR SUPPORT WITH REMNANTS OF BILL WILL BE PASSING
THROUGH...WITH SUBSIDENCE LIKELY SECOND HALF OF SUNDAY WITH
LESSENING PRECIP THREAT. SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL ALLOW DEWPOINTS

104-109 FOR SEVERAL HOURS SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

DEGREES TOO WARM TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY COMPARED TO LOCAL LOW LEVEL
THICKNESS STUDY AND EXPECTED HIGH TD'S. HEIGHTS FALL SLIGHTLY AS
FLOW ALOFT BECOMES WEST- NORTHWEST, WITH WEAK IMPULSES MOVING
THROUGH UPPER LEVEL FLOW. SCATTERED DIURNAL CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY
EXPECTED MAINLY ALONG SEA BREEZE AND INLAND THERMAL TROUGH.

THURSDAY...GENERAL CONSENSUS AMONGST MED RANGE GUIDANCE IN
BRINGING A WEAKENING COLD FRONT IN FROM THE NORTH AND WASHING OUT
OVER E NC. CONTINUED TO HEDGE TOWARDS A BLEND FOR THE FAR
EXTENDED, MEANING DECIDED TO KEEP THE FRONT NORTH OF THE CWA,
WHICH HAS BEEN A COMMON OCCURRENCE OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS WITH
FRONTAL SYSTEMS STRUGGLING TO MAKE IT SOUTH DUE TO STRONG
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE OFF THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES. HIGH TEMPS LIKELY
IN THE MID/UPR 90S THOUGH MORE UNCERTAINTY DUE TO POSSIBLE
CONVECTION AND CLOUDS KEEPING TEMPS A BIT LOWER...THOUGH STILL
EXPECTING TD'S HIGH ENOUGH TO SUPPORT NEAR HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA.
