Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
300 PM EDT Tue Jun 28 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will push through the area this evening and stall to
the south by Wednesday morning. High pressure will build in the
wake of the front. The next cold front crosses the area Saturday,
stalling over the southern Mid-Atlantic Sunday and eventually
pushing south Monday as high pressure builds in from the north.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Persistent cloud cover associated with surface trough/theta-e
ridge is eroding from the west. A cold front is crossing the
Appalachians, with convection firing out ahead of it. Southerly
flow is only present in the low levels, and the best shortwave
energy will be across PA, so expect decreasing coverage with
southern extent. MLCAPE ahead of the line is around 1500 J/kg with
bulk shear of 25-30 kt. The lingering cloud cover and weak mid-
level lapse rates (in addition to the weak forcing) will be
limiting factors to updraft development, but a moisture-rich
environment exists east of the mountains, and some organized
clusters may be able to form and present a gusty wind threat. The
setup in addition to hi-res guidance suggests this is most likely
east of the Blue Ridge and across the metros into southern MD late
this afternoon into this evening.

An axis of higher PWATs around 1.75 inches will be located across
eastern areas. Combined with storm motions which could be around
20 kt or less, stronger/slow moving thunderstorm clusters could
produce locally heavy rain and possible urban flooding in normally
vulnerable areas. Isolated flash flooding cannot be ruled out, but
am not expecting widespread issues given 1-hr FFG values are
generally well above 2 inches outside of the urban areas. Will
relegate this to an HWO mention given marginal threat.

The showers and thunderstorms will likely be exiting the area
around midnight, but could persist a little longer in southern MD.
Some patchy fog could occur depending on how quickly drier air
moves in, but did not feel confident enough to put it in the
forecast.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
The front should push far enough south on Wednesday and Wednesday
night that dry weather will prevail across the forecast area,
although there may be some clouds at times given mid-level
troughing. Temperatures and humidity will be a notch lower.

The boundary will return back north on Thursday and Thursday night
as the high moves to the east. GFS continues to be the wettest
model on Thursday, but there will be a return southerly flow, so
will keep small POPs over southern parts of the CWA. Temperatures
and humidity will creep back upward.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
An upper trough of low pressure and associated cold front at the
surface will move across the region Friday and Friday night. The
chance for showers and thunderstorms will accompany the front. The
timing and placement of precipitation development is uncertain at
this time, but given bulk shear around 30 kt, a few stronger
storms could occur.

Unsettled conditions could linger through much of the weekend as the
associated surface cold front lingers just to our south. Additional
showers and thunderstorms could develop along this front Saturday
through Sunday night.

The next storm system will develop along the front at the western
end of the Ohio Valley Sunday night into Monday as the stalled front
starts tracking northward as a warm front. The threat for showers
and thunderstorms will be concentrated across central and southern
Virginia by the end of the weekend.

This shower and thunderstorm threat will then propagate north toward
the Mason-Dixon line as the newly-formed storm system moves parallel
to the Ohio Valley Monday through Tuesday.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Main concern for the late afternoon and evening hours will be
thunderstorms along a cold front. Clusters of storms may organize
by the time they reach the Balt/Wash metro, and have thus included
a TSRA mention at these terminals. However, there could be gaps in
between storms with little impact. Brief gusty winds and heavy
rain will be possible. Wind shift to NW will occur late this
evening.

A cold front will cross tonight. Depending on how quickly drier
air arrives, there could be some fog, but did not feel confident
enough to put in the TAFs. VFR in high pressure Wednesday and
Wednesday night. Front returns north Thursday and Thursday night,
although the probability of precipitation is low.

MVFR or IFR conditions possible at times Friday through the
weekend with showers and thunderstorms. Winds southwest to west 5
to 10 knots Friday and Friday night.

&&

.MARINE...
S to SE flow until late this evening overnight when a cold front
passes. There may be a brief window near frontal passage where
winds could approach SCA levels. However, 15 kt or less expected
outside thunderstorms, which will be crossing the waters this
evening. SMWs are possible. Front pushes south Wednesday and
returns north late this week, with a cold front being slow to push
into the area this weekend. In general, sub-SCA conditions
expected.
