TORNADO WATCH UNTIL 8 PM...

FLASH FLOOD WATCH UNTIL MIDNIGHT...

NEAR TERM /Now Through Tuesday/...Supercells posing a risk for
damaging straight-line winds, large hail, and a few tornadoes are
ongoing across the area this afternoon in a supportive environment
characterized by decent instability (MLCAPE of 1000-1500 J/kg) and
deep-layer shear (40+ kts) beneath sufficient upper level forcing
associated with a passing shortwave trough. This convective activity
is expected to continue into the evening hours before an impressive
squall line (currently approaching from the west) passes through the
area with an attendant damaging straight-line wind threat. An
elevated flash flood threat is also ongoing through this evening and
tonight as intense downpours and training storms are already
producing serious flooding issues across some areas this afternoon.
This flooding threat will be especially prominent in areas with
already-saturated soils from the previous 48 hours of heavy rainfall.

A weak boundary (maintaining the aforementioned squall line) passes
through the area this evening as the shortwave responsible for
today's chaotic weather moves off the southeast Atlantic coast. In
the wake of the boundary, surface flow shifts to westerly, providing
some slight relief from the humidity Tuesday (dewpoints dip into the
mid and upper 50's) but persisting cloud cover over interior
portions of the forecast area. Given the orientation and weak nature
of this frontal boundary and zonal flow pattern building back over
the area aloft, not expecting much in terms of cooler air, with
highs Tuesday still expected to reach the low to mid 70's across the
area. Low temps tonight will range from upper 50's to low 60's west-
to-east across the area. /49

SHORT TERM /Tuesday night Through Thursday night/...An east coast
trough will deepen Tuesday night into Wednesday, sending a
another cold front through the area. This front will not have any
moisture to work with, so no more than sprinkles expected. However,
it will bring a much colder airmass into the region for the middle of
the week. High temps on Wednesday will range from the upper 50s and
low 60s inland to upper 60s near the coast. Wednesday night lows will
fall into the mid and upper 30s inland to mid 40s along the coast.
Thursday's highs will be in the low 50s inland to mid 50s along the
coast. Thursday night lows will drop into the low to mid 30s inland
to low 40s along the coast. /13

LONG TERM /Friday Through Monday/...Due to ongoing severe weather,
we did not change the extended from the previous package. Please see
previous AFD for the long term discussion. /13

MARINE...Moderate to strong onshore flow decreases and shifts to
westerly early Tuesday AM in the wake of a weak frontal passage
tonight. Upper energy digging south over the Northern Plains through
the Great Lakes regions will then push a stronger surface front
across the forecast area Wednesday into Wednesday night, bringing
strong offshore flow to area coastal waters. The flow remains
offshore into the weekend, with guidance advertising a second
reinforcement crossing the area later this week. With the GFS well
ahead of the ECMWF on the timing of this reinforcement, it
advertises another upper system approaching the forecast area Friday
night into Saturday and a return of onshore flow with a surface
system crossing the FA Saturday. Current forecast is based more on
ECMWF solution, with moderate winds remaining largely offshore
Friday and into the weekend. /49
