Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
948 AM EDT Fri Jun 11 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
A backdoor cold front will slowly sink and stall south of the
region today as a low pressure passes eastward through the area.
High pressure will build back into the area by late Saturday.
Another cold front will approach Sunday before crossing the
region late Sunday night into early Monday, with a third cold
front late Monday night into early Tuesday, and a fourth cold
front late Tuesday night into Wednesday. High pressure will
resume control for a few days thereafter.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...

Latest surface analysis shows the cold front stalled across the
southern portions of the Central Shenandoah Valley and the
Central Foothills. Showers continue across much of the area
especially east of the Blue Ridge. Meanwhile, WV imagery shows
low pressure back towards the Ohio Valley which is expected to
continue to move eastward over the course of the day.

For the remainder of the day today; quite dreary to say the
least. Additional showers are expected to continue across the
region. Some of the hi-res guidance continues to depict
additional periods of heavy rainfall with embedded thunderstorms
through early this evening, especially for the Central Piedmont
region. However, over the last few days, hi-res guidance has
over preformed on convective activity. With the front stalled
way to our southernmost border would be inclined to lean on a
more stratiform rain solution rather than a more convective
one. First, we are currently wedged on the more stable side of
the boundary. Second, theta-e values are highest across southern
VA; away from our CWA. Next, with dreary conditions continuing,
do not foresee any additional sunshine which would aide in
destabilizing the atmosphere. Finally, upper level forcing is
rather weak. With this in mind, most of the convective activity
should remain mostly to our south.

However, given the abundantly high PW values, along with
the saturated conditions from yesterday's rainfall, and the
consensus in high-res guidance, can't fully rule out additional
instances of localized flooding, especially where rainfall is
highest. Thus, have continued the Flash Flood Watch for areas
mainly east of I-95 where flooding potential is highest. Will
continue to monitor things as the day progresses. However, if
thinking is right, might be able to trim back the watch later
this afternoon.

Otherwise, today will be considerably cooler than as of late
with highs in the 60s and 70s. Rain will taper off this evening
into early Saturday morning as the low passes to our south.
However patchy drizzle and fog is likely to continue during this
time.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
...PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
Saturday likely starts out cloudy, misty, drizzly... dreary,
pretty much. However, weak high pressure will gradually build
southeastward, which with the help of the strong June sun,
should help mix out the clouds and drizzle/fog for some
afternoon sun in most of the area. Assuming this indeed works
out, we likely nudge back to near 80 for highs. Mostly dry
conditions continue Saturday night, with lows mostly in the
60s.

The forecast for Sunday starts out reasonably enough, but with
the slowing speed on guidance of the next cold front, we may
have an extended period of at least scattered showers and
isolated thunderstorms by Sunday night. Not at all saying it
will be raining all the time or even majority of it... just
saying that we may have a long period of time where scattered
showers/isolated thunderstorms are on radar in our region, not
necessarily moving away, just continuing to develop. Right now,
severe risk looks low, but should we get a little more
instability, could see some isolated stronger cells. Highs
should mostly be in the low to mid 80s, with lows Sunday night
in the 60s.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
The first several days of the long term are rather murky, as one
cold front will be sliding through early Monday, another late
Monday night/early Tuesday, and possibly a third late Tuesday
night/Wednesday. Each of these could produce a few showers or a
thunderstorm, but available moisture will be decreasing with
each frontal passage, so the odds probably diminish over time.
Thus, especially given the rather unhelpful (to convection)
timing of these fronts, at least as currently progged, have kept
the forecast mostly dry, with just some slight chance pops
overall. Monday is likely the warmest day as the first front
passes, with highs in the mid-upper 80s. Tuesday temps drop a
couple degrees, but a more noticeable drop comes Wednesday, when
we may actually stay in the upper 70s for most of the area...a
relatively impressive feat for a mid June day with sunshine.
Highs start to rebound back into the low 80s Thursday as high
pressure finally resumes control for a few days.

&&

.AVIATION /13Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Intervals of MVFR to IFR cigs and mostly VFR to MVFR vsby today
thru early Saturday as easterly flow provides plenty of moist
low level flow, and passing low pressure produces more showers
and an isolated thunderstorm. VSBY may drop to IFR in any heavy
showers or storms. Conditions should improve Saturday as high
pressure builds in. Mostly VFR Sunday through Tuesday, though
scattered showers and thunderstorms later Sunday-Sunday night
and again possibly Monday night could cause relatively brief
reductions.

&&

.MARINE...
Easterly flow as low pressure passes to our south will reach
marginal SCA levels today into Saturday, so advisories are out
for much of the waters. Sheltered waters likely avoid the
gustier winds, but showers will persist into early Saturday as
well. Diminishing winds, showers and clouds later Saturday, with
light winds continuing through Tuesday despite several weak cold
frontal passages. Will need to watch each frontal passage
Sunday-Tuesday for a possibly gusty thunderstorm, but right now
odds of them look low.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Easterly flow will help pile up water at the mouth of the bay
today into Saturday, with rising water levels across our tidal
waters as a result. Have advisory for Annapolis this morning,
and will likely need more by tonight, possibly extending to
other sensitive locales. As winds turn more westerly early next
week, water levels should drop.
