Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
1037 AM EDT Mon Jun 19 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will cross the area this afternoon into the
evening with widespread showers and thunderstorms some with
damaging winds and heavy rainfall. Weak high pressure will
build over the area for the middle of the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 10am, a cold front has crossed the Ohio River into WV.
Showers stretch from central WV northwest to NY state. Lightning
activity has waned over WV, so the weather forecast was updated
to have just isolated thunder through noon.

This cold front will cross the area this afternoon (evening for
southern MD). A plume of precipitable water up to 2 inches is
ahead of this cold front with values increasing through the
afternoon. The progression of this front will increase through
the day as an upper trough approaches from the west. The LWX CWA
will be in the right entrance region of a jet streak to the
north, enhancing upper level difulence and maximizing rain
rates.

Limiting factors to flash flooding are dry antecedent
conditions of the past two weeks and relative fast
progression/movement of frontal zone and fcst individual storm
cell motion of around 35 kt. On the other hand, unidirectional
wind profiles indicate potential for training convection while
exceptionally high PWATS, very high 850 ThetaE values and K
indices will support intense rainfall rates capable of producing
2-4 inches of rain in a short period of time. A flash flood
watch remains where models and their respective ensemble means
show the highest rainfall totals along with the lowest flash
flood guidance (mainly urban areas).

The strengthening shear/wind fields and fast storm motion also
indicate potential for damaging winds and SPC has parts of the
area under an enhanced risk of severe wx. Will also note the
2 percent tornado and 5 percent hail threat as well. The cold
front will clear the area during the mid to late evening hours
with showers ending by midnight in most areas.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
Weak high pressure will build over the area supporting dry
conditions and seasonable temperatures.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
The end of the week will feature quasi-zonal flow aloft across the
eastern CONUS with the main jet stream to the north and subtropical
ridge to the south. Thursday is the favored day to be dry during the
extended period as weak ridging sits atop the area. It will likely
also be the warmest day of the period.

Two features will come into play for Friday into the weekend. First,
low pressure (possibly tropical in nature) will have moved into the
Gulf Coast states. There will also be low pressure near Hudson Bay,
with a cold front gradually sinking southward. Model spread is high
on the handling both of these features, though it looks like the
weather will become increasingly unsettled heading into the weekend
whether or not tropical moisture is pulled into the frontal zone.
The front will likely stall near the area Saturday before wavering
Sunday. A deeper upper level trough may approach by late Sunday.
With the clouds and precipitation around, diurnal ranges will become
muted, with low temperatures above normal and high temperatures
near or below normal through the weekend.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Widespread showers and t-storms this afternoon into early
evening with potential for damaging winds and heavy rainfall
with brief 2-4 hrs of IFR/LIFR conditions. VFR conditions
expected a few hrs after frontal passage tonight.

VFR conditions likely Thursday. Thunderstorm chances will begin to
increase on Friday.

&&

.MARINE...
Strong SW winds with gusts around 25 kt through this evening.
T-storms to likely require special marine warnings at some point
during the afternoon and evening. Winds diminish overnight
tonight. SCAs possible again Tue into Wed night.

Light winds with high pressure are expected Thursday. There is low
confidence on the pressure pattern heading into Friday, but there is
at least a chance of SCA conditions developing as early as Thursday
night. Thunderstorm chances will also increase on Friday.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
A flash flood watch is in effect from 3 to 9pm for the Balt/Wash
metro areas. Southern MD is also expected to see heavy rainfall,
so localized flash flooding is possible there too.
