NORTH OF THE AREA LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY...WITH SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS BECOMING MORE WIDELY SCATTERED. THE NEXT COLD
FRONT WILL SLOWLY APPROACH FROM THE NORTH AND WEST THROUGH THE END
OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...

ESE ACRS FAR SOUTHERN VA. ALOFT...CAN SEE CLOSED UPPER LOW

TO THE S/SW ACRS THE MID ATLC. SKIES ARE CURRENTLY VARIABLY TO
MOSTLY CLOUDY ACRS THE REGION WITH NUMEROUS SHOWERS/TSTMS DEVELOPING
IN THE VICINITY OF THE FRONT OVER MAINLY INTERIOR SECTIONS OF SE
VA/NE NC. LESS COVERAGE OF STORMS IS OCCURRING FARTHER NORTH...ALTHOUGH
THIS SHOULD CHANGE OVER THE NEXT FEW HRS...AND FORECAST WILL SHIFT
LIKELY POPS INTO MUCH OF CENTRAL VA INCLUDING METRO RICHMOND AFTER
23Z. THIS WILL BE IN RESPONSE TO THE SFC FRONT LIFTING NORTH...AND
SOME ENHANCED AREAS OF DEEP LIFT MOVING IN FROM THE WEST AS THE
UPPER LOW SHIFTS ENE LATER TONIGHT. MODELS SUGGEST HOLDING ON TO
CHC POPS AFTER MIDNIGHT...THOUGH COVERAGE OF STORMS SHOULD
DIMINISH...ESP SRN 1/2 OF CWA. LOWS MAINLY IN THE UPPER 60S N/NW
TO THE LOWER 70S ELSEWHERE. SOME STRONG/GUSTY WINDS POSSIBLE WITH
~30 KT OF EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR THIS EVENING...THEN MAINLY JUST A
HEAVY RAIN CONCERN WHICH WILL BE MENTIONED IN THE HWO. QPF TONIGHT
AVERAGES 0.50-075" INLAND WITH LESSER AMOUNTS AT THE COAST.

INTERIOR NE NC...TAPERING TO AN AVG OF 1/2 INCH OR LESS OVR MOST
OF ERN VA TO THE LWR MD ERN SHORE. HWVR...LOCALLY MUCH HIGHER AMTS
ARE CERTAINLY PSBL DUE TO HI PWATS (1.75-2 INCHES)/SLO MOVING OR

WEAKENS OVER THE MTNS AND WEAK RIDGING ALOFT DEVLOPS ALONG THE
MID ATLC COAST. WITH A SW FLOW AT THE SFC...AND RISING 850 MB
TEMPS...EXPECT TYPICAL SUMMERTIME HEAT WITH HIGHS INTO THE LOWER
90S MOST AREAS (FOR NOW STAYED A TAD BELOW GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS DUE
TO MOIST ANTECEDENT CONDS). HI TEMPS AT THE IMMEDIATE COAST WILL
BE IN THE 80S. WILL HAVE JUST A 20% POP CONFINED TO THE MID/LATE
AFTN/EARLY EVENING PERIOD MOST PLACES. WARM/HUMID TUE NIGHT WITH

CHC THAN TUE (30-40%) FOR AFTN/EVENING STORMS AND HIGHS INTO THE

TYPICAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN TO PREVAIL FOR THE END OF THE COMING WEEK
INTO NEXT WEEKEND AS A SUB-TROPICAL RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE SERN U.S.
AND A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES PASS MAINLY NORTH OF THE LOCAL AREA.
ISOLD OR WIDELY SCT AFT/EVE TSTMS WILL BE POSSIBLE EACH DAY (20-30%
POP). A WEAK COLD FRONT MAY DROP SOUTH INTO THE LOCAL AREA NEXT
