Severe Thunderstorm Warning 191, NWS Baltimore/Washington

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
317 PM EDT SUN JUL 15 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER TROUGH WILL CROSS THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION TONIGHT...BEFORE
STALLING ACROSS THE CAROLINAS INTO THE MIDDLE PART OF THE WEEK. A
COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION LATE WEDNESDAY... WITH HIGH
PRESSURE RETURNING FOR LATE THIS WEEK INTO NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
AFTN SAT WV LOOP SHOWS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH ENTERING THE ERN GREAT
LAKES. THIS FEATURE WILL TRACK EWD TNGT ALONG THE NRN PERIPHERY OF
AN UPPER RIDGE INTO THE NORTHEAST AND NRN-MID ATLANTIC REGIONS. WARM
FRONT BOUNDARY HARD TO DISCERN ON 18Z SFC ANALYSIS...BUT APPEARS TO
BE DRAPED ACROSS CENTRAL PA.

AFTN TEMPS IN THE LOW TO MID 90S AND DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER 70S HAS
RESULTED IN HEAT INDICES IN THE MID 90S TO NEAR 100F. IN WARM-MOIST
SECTOR...ATMOSPHERE CONTINUES TO DESTABILIZE OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC
REGION. DESPITE WEAK MID-LVL LAPSE RATES...DAYTIME DESTABILIZATION
HAS YIELDED IN SBCAPE VALUES BETWEEN 2-3 KJ/KG IN THE CWA.
CONVECTION HAS ALREADY INITIATED ALONG RESIDUAL DIFFERENTIAL HEATING
BOUNDARIES OVER THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS AND IN CENTRAL VA. MORE
ORGANIZED CONVECTION OVER THE OH VLY AND WRN NY HAS DEVELOPED IN A
REGION OF HEIGHT FALLS AHEAD OF THE UPPER SHORTWAVE TROUGH. THE
HIGHEST COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS THIS AFTN WILL BE OVER THE
HIGHER TERRAIN AND CENTRAL VA. THIS ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT
EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE LATE THIS AFTN AND I-95 CORRIDOR THIS
EVE...BUT A FEW POP-UP STORMS ARE STILL POSSIBLE EARLIER.

WITH HVY DOWNPOURS FROM STORMS AGAIN TDA...THERE IS A THREAT FOR
LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING. THE ENVIRONMENT HAS NOT CHANGED MUCH SINCE
YDA WHEN CONVECTION PRODUCED RAINFALL AMTS OF 2-3 INCHES IN AN HR.
HOWEVER...STORMS ARE MOVING FASTER TDA...WHICH WILL LIMIT AMT OF
RAINFALL IN ONE LOCATION AND THUS THE EXTENT OF FLASH FLOODING. WILL
STILL HIGHLIGHT LOCALIZED FLASH FLOOD THREAT IN HWO.

IT DOES APPEAR THAT THE BEST ASCENT/SHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER
TROUGH WILL NOT REACH THE AREA UNTIL AFTER PEAK HEATING HRS WHEN
INSTABILITY WOULD BE MAXIMIZED. THEREFORE...DO NOT EXPECT AN
ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER EVENT. STILL CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW DAMAGING
WINDS GUSTS LATE THIS AFTN AND ERY EVE IF STORMS BECOME
MULTI-CELLULAR.

ACTIVITY WILL DIMINISH A FEW HRS AFTER DARK AS THE ATMOSPHERE
STABILIZES...BUT MAY LINGER INTO THE OVNGT AS THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH
APPROACHES. CLOUD COVER AND MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER WILL YIELD MUGGY
CONDITIONS WITH OVNGT LOWS MAINLY IN THE 70S...EXCEPT UPPER 60S IN
HIGHLANDS.

UPPER SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVES THRU THE CHSPK BAY REGION MON MRNG.
SIGNIFICANT DRY AIR ADVECTION IN THE MID AND UPPER LVLS WILL BE
ABSENT IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER DESPITE THE NWLY FLOW. WITH DEWPOINTS
STILL AROUND 70F AND STRONG INSOLATION...MODEST SFC-BASED
INSTABILITY WILL DEVELOP BY THE AFTN. SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE UPPER
TROUGH WILL NOT FAVOR A HIGH COVERAGE OF AFTN SHOWERS AND
STORMS...BUT A FEW CELLS MAY INITIATE NEAR THE LINGERING SFC TROUGH
IN THE NRN PIEDMONT AND SRN MD. RESERVED ISO POPS IN THE AFTN FCST
FROM DC TO POINTS SOUTH AND EWD. MAIN STORY ON MON WILL BE THE HEAT
AND HUMIDITY...WITH MAX TEMPS IN THE LOW TO MID 90S AND HEAT INDICES
IN EXCESS OF 100F...BUT JUST BELOW HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA...WITHIN
THE I-95 CORRIDOR.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
A WELCOME QUIET WEATHER PERIOD ON TAP MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY
NIGHT IN THE WAKE OF THE TROUGH MOVING THROUGH TONIGHT AND AHEAD OF
THE MID WEEK COLD FRONT...AS A ZONAL FLOW DEVELOPS ACROSS THE NERN
CONUS. THE HEAT WILL CONTINUE WITH 850 MB TEMPS OF 20 TO 22C ON
TUESDAY SUGGESTING MAX TEMPS IN THE MID TO UPR 90S. WLY FLOW LOOKS
TO MIX OUT DEWPOINTS TO THE UPR 60S TUESDAY...SO HEAT INDICES LOOK
TO BE IN THE 100 TO 102F RANGE EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...BELOW THE
GENERAL HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA OF 105F. WHILE TUESDAY WILL BE APART
OF A FOUR DAY STRETCH OF HEAT /TODAY SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...IT
IS MID SUMMER SO IT DOES NOT SEEM NECESSARY TO GO WITH A LOWER
CRITERION FOR THIS HEAT. WILL STILL MENTION HEAT INDICES IN EXCESS
OF 100F IN THE HWO...PARTICULARLY SINCE MOISTURE POOLING JUST A
LITTLE MORE WOULD ALLOW HEAT INDICES 105F OR MORE. MIN TEMPS INLAND
U60S/L70S MON NGT AND L/M 70S TUE NGT...URBAN NEAR/SHORE M/U 70S MON
NGT AND U70S/L80S TUE NGT.

THE REGION WILL BE MAINLY CAPPED WITH A SUBSIDENCE INVERSION
TUESDAY...THOUGH TERRAIN CIRCULATIONS COULD ALLOW FOR SOME
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY TO BREAK THROUGH. FOR NOW SOME SLIGHT CHANCES
WERE INCLUDED FOR ZONES ALONG THE ALLEGHENY FRONT.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
COLD FRONT APPROACHES WEDNESDAY WITH A NORTH TO SOUTH PROGRESSION OF
POSSIBLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY FROM THE AFTERNOON THROUGH THE
EVENING. TERRAIN CIRCULATIONS WILL AID DEVELOPMENT IN THE
AFTERNOON...SO NORTHWEST OF THE SHENANDOAH RIDGE NOW HAS LIKELY POPS
FOR THE AFTERNOON. EXPECT PWATS TO APPROACH 2 INCHES AND CAPE IN
EXCESS OF 3000 J/KG WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF SHEAR. DAMAGING
WIND...HAIL...AND FLASH FLOODING ARE ALL THREATS WITH THIS FRONTAL
PASSAGE WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THE HWOLWX WILL BE UPDATED
ACCORDINGLY.

AHEAD OF THE FRONT EXPECT ANOTHER HOT DAY WEDNESDAY. CURRENT HEAT
INDEX FORECAST IS FOR 100 TO 103F SO THE HWOLWX WILL CONTINUE TO
MENTION HEAT.

THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE SLOW TO PUSH INTO THE CAROLINAS...SO
SOME SHOWER/GENERAL THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST FOR
FOR THURSDAY. NLY/NWLY FLOW WILL BRING A REPRIEVE TO THE HEAT WITH
MAX TEMPS IN THE UPR 80S TO AROUND 90F.

HIGH PRESSURE THEN THURSDAY NIGHT INTO THE WEEKEND WITH DRY
CONDITIONS AND MAX TEMPS AROUND NORMAL IN THE MID TO UPR 80S.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE TAF VALID PERIOD.
PERIODIC LOWERED VSBYS ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING IN
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. PRECIP SHOULD BEGIN TO DIMINISH AROUND
00Z WITH SKIES CLEARING OVERNIGHT. FOG FORMATION IS POSSIBLE AT CHO
AND MRB TONIGHT. VSBYS COULD FALL TO MVFR LEVELS A FEW HOURS BEFORE
SUNRISE AT THESE LOCATIONS. TOMORROW...CIGS SHOULD REMAIN AROUND OR
ABOVE 4000FT. A SURFACE TROUGH DEVELOPING OVER THE AREA WILL CAUSE
WIND TO SHIFT TO THE NW THROUGH MONDAY MORNING.

VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT WITH
QUIET WEATHER. COLD FRONT APPROACHES WEDNESDAY...CROSSING WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. HEAVY AND POSSIBLE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
THE TERMINALS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...
LGT WINDS 10 KT OR LESS THIS AFTN. HOWEVER...S-SWLY FLOW HAS
CHANNELED WINDS A BIT IN THE MD CHSPK BAY...RESULTING IN 15 KT
GUSTS. SHOWERS AND STORMS DEVELOPED OVER THE LOWER TIDAL POTOMAC
RIVER AND SRN MD CHSPK BAY AROUND 2 PM. EXPECT COVERAGE OF STORMS TO
INCREASE OVER THE WATERS LATE THIS AFTN AND EVE. HEAVY RAIN AND
GUSTY WINDS ARE BOTH CONCERNS. SMW/S MAY BE REQUIRED.

ISO SHOWERS AND STORMS POSSIBLE AGAIN MON AFTN. ENVIRONMENT NOT
SUPPORTIVE OF STRONG STORMS TOMORROW...BUT AN ISO GUSTY WIND AND
LIGHTNING IS POSSIBLE.

QUIET WEATHER MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT BEFORE A COLD FRONT
CROSSES WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS WITH
DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. NO SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES ARE ANTICIPATED THROUGH THE WEEK...WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR
EVENING CHANNELING.
