Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
320 AM EDT Wed Jul 7 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Heat and humidity will build in through Wednesday as high
pressure remains over the Atlantic. Elsa will track across
the eastern Carolinas Thursday, then into the mid-Atlantic
coast Thursday night, before heading towards Cape Cod on
Friday. An elongated surface trough originating from Elsa will
be draped across the northeast U.S. corridor on Friday. Brief
high pressure builds Sunday, before an approaching warm front
from the midwest impacts the mid-Atlantic early next week.
Please refer to the National Hurricane Center for the latest
information regarding the track of Elsa.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Similar conditions from yesterday expected to continue today.
H5 ridging and an associated Bermuda high offshore will persist
throughout the day as a continued southerly flow ushers in hot
and humid air. Highs today will once again be in the mid 90s for
most with dew points in the low 70s. This will cause for heat
indices to remain in the low 100s mainly along and east of I-95
and upper 90s elsewhere; keeping conditions just under heat
advisory criteria.

Chances for afternoon showers and thunderstorms remain elevated
once again today as a lee trough lingers mainly along and west
of the Blue Ridge. Given the continued unstable airmass, CAPE
values range between 2000-2500 J/Kg. However, shear remains
rather weak, ranging around 15-20 kts. Also, mid-level lapse
rates are weaker than yesterday, around 6 C/Km. While not much
potential for forcing mechanisms, weak shortwave advection will
traverse northward along the ridge axis. Given the high
instability, any storms that do develop may have the potential
to be severe in nature. Best potential would be mainly along and
west of the Blue Ridge. Elsewhere, chances for showers and
storms will be limited as a capping inversion lingers.

Any shower/storm is expected to dissipate by late evening with
mostly dry conditions continuing overnight. Overnight lows will
remain in the mid to upper 60s for most, with low 70s across the
metros.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Clouds thicken during the pre-dawn hours Thursday as H5 heights
begin to lower thanks to a combination of an approaching
shortwave trough back over the Ohio Valley and Elsa tracking up
the East Coast. This will cause an increase in moisture
advection which will result in more unsettled conditions
throughout much of the day. Some spotty showers may be present
as early as sunrise mainly along and west of the Blue Ridge.
However, PoPs increase everywhere throughout the day with an
increase in shower coverage, some that may be heavy at times,
especially in instances of embedded thunderstorms. Temperatures
will be cooler given the cloud cover and unsettled weather.
However will still be quite warm and humid with highs in the mid
to upper 80s across the metros and low to mid 80s elsewhere.

Elsa is forecasted to cross through near the vicinity of
Virginia Beach, VA Thursday evening before making its closest
pass overnight into Friday. It remains to be seen how far north
and west the outer rainfall bands and gusty winds will make it.
Some spread in Elsa's exact track still remains. Therefore will
defer to the National Hurricane Center for the latest forecast.

Unsettled conditions continue on Friday with chances for showers
and thunderstorms as the aforementioned trough and associated
cold front approaches the region. The front is expected to exit
the region late Friday night as drying conditions ensue into
Saturday morning. Temperatures on Friday will be similar to
Thursday.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Our area will be in a zonal flow aloft for Saturday in
between upper-level high pressure over the Atlantic and southern
CONUS and an upper-level low near the Hudson Bay. A weak boundary
will also remain stalled out over the area as well. There will be a
little dewpoint gradient along the boundary, but that's about it.
That boundary will combine with shortwave energy in the zonal flow
to bring the chance for showers and thunderstorms, especially during
the afternoon and evening. A stronger storm is possible, and the
best chance will be near and south of the boundary across the
Potomac Highlands into central Virginia. Convection should wane
overnight Saturday, but an isolated shower/t-storm cannot be ruled
out.

Upper-level and surface high pressure will begin to strengthen over
the Atlantic Sunday through Tuesday. This will cause the
boundary to move to our northeast as a warm front on Sunday.
Increased heat and humidity will lead to more chances for showers
and thunderstorms, and some of those storms may be strong to perhaps
even severe. Bermuda high will take over for Monday and Tuesday,
bringing hot and humid conditions. There will be chances for
thunderstorms due to the heat and humidity. Also, 500mb heights may
not be quite as high since the center of the upper-level high may be
off to our east. Therefore, more showers and thunderstorms are
possible, mainly during the afternoon and evening hours each day.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
VFR conditions are expected today with high pressure in control
and a continued southerly flow. Chances for scattered showers
and thunderstorms continue but will be mainly along and west of
the Blue Ridge. MRB has the best chance of seeing any impacts
from said shower/storm, which can briefly reduce CIG/VSBYs.
Elsewhere, no impacts are expected. However the threat of
convection remains non-zero across the rest of the terminals.

Heading into Thursday, will continue to monitor the track of
Elsa. Based on the latest forecast, increasing rain chances
could lead to CIG/VSBY restrictions along with breezy
northwesterly winds to the west of the track. Elsa is projected
to exit offshore into southern New England by early Friday
morning. However an approaching cold front will keep conditions
unsettled on Friday, which continues the chances for continued
restrictions.

A boundary will remain near the terminals Saturday and it will
retreat northeast as a warm front Sunday. A few showers and
thunderstorms are possible, especially during the afternoon and
evening hours each day. There is a threat for strong to perhaps
even severe storms, especially Sunday when the heat and
humidity will be higher.

&&

.MARINE...
A southerly channeling across the lower Chesapeake Bay and
adjacent tributaries are expected to continue through 9AM
Wednesday morning, then again overnight Wednesday into
Thursday for the lower and middle bay and lower Tidal Potomac.

For Thursday and Thursday night, the track of Elsa may get
close enough to bring tropical storm force winds over portions
of the waters (especially middle and lower Bay). Given some
uncertainty in the track, users are advised to check back with
the latest National Hurricane Center forecast.

Sub-SCA is expected Friday. A few showers and thunderstorms are
possible Saturday and Sunday, especially during the afternoon
and evening hours. Storms may produce gusty winds. Gradient
winds should remain below SCA criteria for most of the time
though.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Elsa will track up the Mid-Atlantic Coast later Thursday into
Thursday night before moving to the northeast Friday. A south to
southeast flow ahead of this may cause minor tidal flooding. Refer
to the National Hurricane Center for the latest regarding Elsa.
