Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
300 PM EDT Mon Jun 27 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A surface trough will remain over the region through Tuesday, with a
cold front pushing eastward late Tuesday. High pressure will
build to the north during the latter half of the week, with the
next cold front approaching this weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
The main concern through this evening will remain locally heavy
rainfall which could lead to flash flooding, especially
southwestern portions of the CWA which have seen heavy rainfall
over the past week. A Flash Flood Watch will remain in effect for
this area. The best instability and PWATs are roughly located
south of US 50 and west of US 15. Storms will have some movement,
but backbuilding and terrain interactions could lead to extended
periods of heavy rain. Am generally expecting a weakening trend to
the activity which pushes east of the aforementioned area,
although weak height falls may support at least scattered activity
crossing most of the area by this evening. Can't rule out a
stronger pulse storm and wet microburst, but the overall severe
threat is minimal due to weak deep layer shear.

Showers and thunderstorms should begin to diminish after midnight,
but with the trough becoming centered over eastern portions of the
area, some showers could linger through the night. Elsewhere,
patchy fog could develop. Lows mid 60s to around 70.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Surface trough will remain over eastern portions of the area
Tuesday morning, supporting at least isolated to scattered
showers. Meanwhile, cold front will approach from the west with
better mid-level height falls. Convection could activate along the
front during the afternoon as it cross the Blue Ridge and enters a
more moisture-rich environment. Deep layer shear is still
moderate, but a little stronger than today, so would think there
would be a better chance of isolated strong to severe storms. Weak
mid-level lapse rates will be a limiting factor. With stronger
flow, flooding should be less of a concern. Highs will reach the
mid to upper 80s.

Front will push east Tuesday night, clearing any remaining showers
and storms. High pressure and drier air will build into the area
Wednesday and Wednesday night; however, upper level troughing may
result in some clouds. Temperatures and humidity will be a little
lower.

On Thursday, upper level troughing will persist, but low level
flow will become more southerly. This may support enough moisture
return to result in a few showers and storms, especially over the
higher terrain. Temperatures may bump up a couple degrees.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
The Mid-Atlantic region will be under the influence of an upper
level trough late in the week. Southerly flow ahead of a cold front
will continue through Friday, however temperatures will be near
or below normal with max temps in the low to mid 80s. Showers and
thunderstorms will be possible both days. The front will slowly
move eastward Friday night into Saturday. An additional cold front
will approach Saturday afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms are
possible Saturday through Sunday. High pressure should build into
the region behind the second front Sunday night into Monday.
Showers may linger into Monday.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 19Z...convection approaching the terminals is rather
disorganized. CHO will have the best chance at seeing a stronger
thunderstorm; however thunder and brief heavy rain will be
possible at any terminal through about 00Z. Most activity should
be to the SE after that. Amendments are likely. Guidance indicates
fog -- possibly IFR -- developing late tonight. Have played closer
to climo (time/area) and limited to MVFR ATTM due to large
uncertainty.

Scattered thunderstorms will develop along a cold front Tuesday
afternoon. DC/Baltimore the mostly likely affected area. There is
a better chance some of these storms could be strong. Generally
VFR with high pressure from late Tuesday night through Thursday
morning. Showers/storms may develop mainly SW of the metros
Thursday afternoon.

Sub-VFR conditions possible Thursday night-Saturday in SHRA/TSRA.

&&

.MARINE...
Southerly flow this afternoon and evening could gust to 20 kt at
times. SCA in effect for most of the waters. A cold front will
cross late Tuesday. There may be a window of SCA conditions ahead
of the front, but details of this will need to be narrowed down. Some
of the thunderstorms could also produce locally gusty winds.
Behind the front early Wednesday, westerly winds may also be
close to SCA levels. With high pressure to the north, sub-SCA
conditions are expected Wednesday night-Thursday night.

Sub-SCA southerly winds expected on the waters Friday-Saturday.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Showers and thunderstorms are developing this afternoon and
evening, especially across the Potomac Highlands and Shenandoah
Valley. A Flash Flood Watch is in effect where FFG is between
1-1.5"/1 hr and 2-2.5"/3 hrs. With PWATs around 2 inches and slow
storm motions, and with spots within these counties still
vulnerable as they rebound from recent heavy rains, flash flooding
will be possible with any training or merging storms. Basin
average QPF totals are between a half to one inch, with any
thunderstorm having the potential to produce a quick 1-3 inches.
