.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
At KCLT and elsewhere: Most
TAF sites are
VFR at present, but
such conditions should not persist for much longer.
MVFR CIG
restrictions should build back in within the next hour or two across
the Upstate, with the possibility for some spotty
IFR CIGs mixed
in, which have been handled with TEMPOs at KGSP, KGMU, and KAND.
In keeping with the previous round of TAFs, have kept mention of
snow confined to KAVL and KHKY, with KAVL now sporting a prevailing
-
SHSN Monday morning, and at KHKY still only a PROB30 for -SHRASN.
Went ahead and dropped snow mention altogether at KCLT, as it
seems increasingly unlikely that anything more than brief, thin
flurries will stretch that far east and south.
TSRA has been added
across all sites except KHKY, with
KCLT even gaining a PROB30 for
+TSRA, as some of the short-term guidance shows an increasingly
dire-looking couple of hours after daybreak Monday. Otherwise,
winds should begin to turn NNEly in the next few hours, and as
they do so, impressive low-level
gradient flow should increase
gust potential the second half of Sunday night and well into the
day Monday. Gusts have been expanded in places, as some guidance
now also depicts
gap winds at KGSP and KGMU. After perhaps 18Z,
the influx of very dry air behind this system should allow rapid
improvement in CIGs and VSBYs and much calmer conditions to prevail
through the end of the
TAF period
Not good news for snow lovers in Charlotte. The 2nd bolded part may be the bigger story for many of us.
