Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
241 PM EDT Sun Jun 20 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will remain over the Atlantic through Monday and
Claudette will pass southeast of the area tonight into Monday.
A strong cold front will pass through the region Monday night
into Tuesday. High pressure will build overhead for the middle
portion of next week as drier and cooler weather returns.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A mix of sun and clouds continues this afternoon across the region.
Some CU clouds have developed across northern MD and VA as well as
along and west of the Blue Ridge. Hot and humid conditions continue
with high temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s for most with dew
points near 70. H5 heights continue to rise this afternoon through
tonight. However given the nature of the unstable atmosphere along
with the observed CU field, do continue the risk for widely
scattered showers and thunderstorms developing late this afternoon
through early this evening mainly for the Potomac Highlands into
northern VA, eastern WV, and northern MD. However, given the
subsidence of the rising heights, think convection will be minimal.
The HRRR has continued to push back the timing of the development of
any convection with each new hourly run, very similar to its
performance yesterday. Thus, think that any shower/storm that does
develop will be quite brief in nature. Chances for convection will
decrease with the loss of daytime heating this evening.

Meanwhile, Claudette will continue to track south and east of the
region through early tomorrow morning and is not expected to impact
the region. Overnight lows will remain in the low to mid 70s,
slightly cooler across the mountains. Patchy fog expected overnight.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
Claudette will continue to shift offshore early Monday morning. Some
isolated showers pay be present during the pre-dawn hours as
residual moisture associated with the system increases the already
fairly saturated atmosphere. Any shower activity will be mainly
inside of I-95 but should cease by daybreak. Overall, expect
temperatures Monday to be similar to today, perhaps a degree or two
higher with slightly more humidity. The moisture advection should
cause dewpoints in the 70s for most locations, and with highs in the
90s, that will put heat indices around 100 degrees (especially east
of the Blue Ridge Mountains).

The heat and humidity will lead to plenty of instability, and
heights will be falling in response to an upper-level
trough to our west that will be slowly shifting eastward as an
associated cold front approaches the region. The forcing from the
front along with falling heights and plenty of instability means
that chances for showers and thunderstorms will increase,
especially during the afternoon, continuing into the evening hours.
There is still some uncertainty as to how progressive the front is.
Current thinking is that the front approaches the region from the
west, igniting showers and storms for areas mainly west of the
Blue Ridge. With the parent trough still over the Midwest, thinking
that the front is likely to linger in place overnight into Tuesday.
So while convection will relax overnight due to the loss of daytime
heating, showers and perhaps some residual thunderstorms are
expected to persist overnight.

As the parent trough swings eastward on Tuesday, will cause the
front to finally cross the region. While there is still some timing
differences in guidance, appears that this occurs during the late
morning into the early evening hours. As a result, rain that may be
heavy at times, especially in instances in embedded thunderstorms,
can be expected mainly during the mid morning through late
afternoon. Rain will then taper off from NW to SE Tuesday evening.

There is an isolated threat for flooding and severe storms during
this time as well due to plenty of moisture that will be in place
along with a shear vector nearly parallel to the cold front and
instability ahead of the front. The best chance for heavier showers
and thunderstorms will be east of Interstate 81 on Tuesday.

High pressure will build overhead Tuesday night behind the cold
front through Wednesday bringing noticeably cooler and less humid
conditions.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Long term will start with Canadian high pressure building
across the region, with dry air and highs into the lower 80s. This
won't last however, as a weak low pressure now looks more likely to
start pushing northward up the coast Thursday night into Friday.
Should this happen, increased clouds along with a chance of showers
or some drizzle will exist, and temperatures are likely to slide
back downward a bit, though 80s remain likely.  The influence of
this system appears most likely in eastern portions of the forecast
area, near the bay and Potomac, with much less influence, if any,
likely in the Allegheny Front.

By Saturday, this system is nudging northeast off the coast, with
lowering influence, but another front will start moving towards us.
Southwest flow ahead of the front should allow warming to resume if
it gets interrupted, but the shower/t-storm risk will increase.
However, it must be noted that guidance has significant differences
regarding the speed of this system, and its quite possible it holds
to the west for several days before reaching us. This would lead to
a few days of more typical summer weather, with terrain forced
storms in a warm, humid air mass.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
VFR conditions expected to continue this afternoon under a
southerly flow. A isolated shower and/or thunderstorm is possible
late this afternoon through early this evening. Highest confidence
for any TSRA remains over MRB.

Increasing moisture overnight may result in a period of low ceilings
and MVFR conditions in the pre-dawn hours Monday. Highest confidence
for this occurrence is CHO, as well as DCA, BWI, and MTN as a result
of Claudette passing offshore. VFR conditions resume by daybreak
tomorrow morning. However, a strong cold front will approach the
region from the NW which will ignite additional showers and
thunderstorms late Monday afternoon into Monday evening. The front
is then expected to push through the region on Tuesday. As a result,
increasing chances for CIG/VSBY restrictions are expected late
Monday, continuing into Tuesday. High pressure builds back into
the region Tuesday night, as VFR conditions return.

VFR Wednesday under high pressure. However, a weak low pressure
moving up the coast Thursday night into Friday could produce just
enough easterly flow to bring a few showers, some drizzle, or some
low clouds, with sub-VFR cigs possible. The influence from this
system is most likely at BWI/MTN, with lowest risk at MRB.

&&

.MARINE...
High pressure will remain over the Atlantic through Monday while
Claudette passes offshore early Monday morning. An increased
gradient will cause a southerly flow to increase this
afternoon into tonight. An SCA is in effect for the Bay and the
middle/lower portion of the Tidal Potomac River.

Additional SCA may be needed Monday and Tuesday for portions of the
waters with an increased southerly flow ahead of a cold front, slated
to slowly cross the region by Tuesday. Additionally, gusty showers
and thunderstorms may require SMWs during this time.

Dry with sub-SCA winds under high pressure Thursday. Weak low
pressure moving up the coast Friday could nudge winds closer to SCA
levels, but probability remains low.
