.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONT WILL REMAIN STALLED JUST NORTH OF THE AREA THROUGH SUNDAY
THEN WILL MOVE NORTH AS A WARM FRONT MONDAY. ANOTHER FRONT WILL
MOVE INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTH WEDNESDAY AND QUICKLY LIFT BACK
NORTH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE OFFSHORE AND A TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE INLAND WILL PRODUCE A SOUTHWEST FLOW OF HOT AND HUMID
WEATHER ACROSS THE AREA LATE NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 355 PM SATURDAY...MOIST/UNTSBALE AIRMASS AIDING DEVELOPMENT
OF WIDESPREAD STRONG SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH LOCALLY HEAVY
DOWNPOURS. THROUGH THIS EVENING THERE WILL BE SUFFICIENT SHEAR TO
SUPPORT MULTI-CELL CLUSTERS WITH A POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED DAMAGING
WIND GUSTS AND MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL. PW VALUES IN EXCESS OF 2"
INDICATE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLY VERY HEAVY RAINS AND WILL AID
PRECIPITATION LOADING LEADING TO STRONG WIND GUSTS IN THE STRONGER
CELLS. PROXIMITY TO RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF JET WILL PRODUCE
AMPLE ASCENT FOR WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY PERSISTING THROUGH THE EVENING
WITH THE SMALL SEVERE THREAT WANING AFTER THE LOSS OF DIURNAL
HEATING. WILL CONTINUE LIKELY EVENING POPS.

AFTER MIDNIGHT WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WITH STATIONARY FRONT OVER THE EXTREME NORTHERN

UPPER LOW PUSHING INTO THE PAC NW WHICH WILL BRING NWLY FLOW ALOFT
ACROSS THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES. MODELS DEPICTING A WEAK SHORT WAVE
MOVING THROUGH THE NW FLOW ALOFT LATE MON WHICH MAY PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL DYNAMICS TO TRIGGER CONVECTION AND WILL HAVE CHANCE
POPS...OTHERWISE MORE TYPICAL ISOLATED DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION
EXPECTED TUE WITH BEST COVERAGE ALONG THE SEA BREEZE.

ANOTHER FRONT WILL BE APPROACHING FROM THE NW EARLY WED. MODELS
