Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
1015 PM EDT Mon Jun 14 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
A series of cold fronts will move through the area through mid
week. Canadian high pressure will build overhead for much of
the second half of the week. Another cold front may approach the
area early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect until 2AM for
locations for the Washington and Baltimore Metro areas as well
as southern MD and northern VA. Previous discussion follows.

A relative min in CAPE has caused lower confidence for locations
west of the Blue Ridge Mountains, but a few severe storms are
possible this evening due to stronger shear and a boundary
dropping in from the north. However, confidence increases for
locations east of the Blue Ridge Mountains this evening due to
higher amounts of instability. The surface flow has backed to
the south ahead of the approaching boundary, and this has caused
a southerly flow to increase dewpoints this evening. At the same
time, a bay breeze can be seen on radar retrograding west while
the boundary from the convection upstream is dropping south. The
intersecting boundaries, strong shear around 50 kts, and
increasing CAPE suggests that some storms will be severe, with
discrete supercells possible. Damaging winds and large hail are
the primary threats, but an isolated tornado cannot be ruled
out as the low-level shear increases some near the bay breeze
and around intersecting boundaries.

A low-end threat for flash flooding persists, especially across
the metro areas where convection will be more widespread and
co-located with lower FFG. However, a strong cold pool should
stabilize the atmosphere quickly, causing any training
convection to weaken. Also, the storm motion will be fast due to
the strong shear. Therefore, confidence is too low for a Flash
Flood Watch at this time.

Convection should gradually dissipate late this evening into the
overnight as the cold front drops farther south and drier air
advects in from the northwest.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
A mid-level trough and associated cold front will move through the
CWA Tuesday. This frontal passage will be notably drier, but cannot
rule out a few showers with the relatively higher chance (still
isolated in nature) up near the Mason-Dixon line. High temperatures
Tuesday do look to be about 5 degrees cooler than today and closer
to seasonal normals.

Dry and clear Tuesday night with temperatures dipping into the mid
40s across the Allegheny Front. As Canadian high pressure builds in
Wednesday, the main story will be the below normal temperatures and
low humidity values. The immediate metropolitan areas have the best
chance of breaking 80, with the higher elevations out west not
making it out of the 60s. Most locations will be in the low to mid
70s.

Come Wednesday night, there could be a few locations that make a run
into the upper 30s, mainly across the valleys in the higher terrain
of Garrett, western Grant, western Pendleton, and western Highland.
Outside of the higher terrain, it will be a good night to open the
windows and let in some cool air with low humidity.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Generally good agreement amongst guidance in regards to the long
term period. A deep upper level trough will continue to pivot
eastward on Thursday. However, with the trough axis offshore, we'll
be under general subsidence, resulting in surface high pressure over
the Ohio Valley becoming focused over the region through the end of
the week. Seasonably cooler conditions with temperatures in the
upper 70s are expected coupled with low humidity. The high will then
continue to shift offshore on Friday, inducing a southerly flow
which will bring the return of heat and humidity back to the region.

Guidance solutions diverge somewhat in regards to the timing of the
next FROPA on Saturday. The ECMWF is a bit earlier than the GFS
which would greatly determine how much convective activity develops.
There's also question into the progression of the front as some of
the guidance including their ensembles indicate the front stalling
across the CWA Sunday. If that's the case, then potential for more
unsettled weather is possible on Sunday into Monday. Guidance
redevelops a Bermuda high just to our east by early next week, thus
could see this situation play out correctly. Another area of low
pressure may then traverse along said stalled boundary which would
set us up for additional unsettled weather in terms of showers and
thunderstorms, even the potential for isolated flooding. Will need
to monitor trends over the next few days.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Some storms across the eastern terminals may be severe with
locally damaging wind gusts and large hail being the primary
threats. The best chance for strong to severe storms will be
through 04z across IAD, DCA, BWI, and MTN. A brief period of
MVFR cigs/vsbys are possible overnight, but drier air should
allow for VFR conditions most of the time.

Another cold front is expected to push through the region on
Tuesday. However that front lacks and significant moisture.
Therefore, conditions should remain VFR throughout. High pressure
returns for Wednesday and continues through Friday under a westerly
flow.

&&

.MARINE...
SMWs will likely be needed tonight as thunderstorms move across
the waters. The most likely time window for storms to move
across the waters will be through 2 AM. A Small Craft Advisory
is in effect tonight through tomorrow. South to southwest winds
this evening will turn northwesterly behind the front later
tonight through tomorrow. Northwesterly flow will continue on
Wednesday, but winds are expected to be sub- SCA in nature

Generally lighter NW flow thereafter through Thursday night (though
another mainly dry front may kick winds up a bit Tuesday night into
Wednesday).

Small Craft Advisory conditions are likely Fri afternoon into
Sunday.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Elevated water levels are expected tonight into Tuesday morning,
but the flow will turn northwest during this time, so confidence
in minor tidal flooding is low.

&&
