...A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 600 PM EDT
FOR SOUTHWESTERN SPOTSYLVANIA COUNTY...

At 537 PM EDT, a severe thunderstorm was located 10 miles northeast
of Mineral, moving northeast at 25 mph.

HAZARD...60 mph wind gusts and quarter size hail.

SOURCE...Radar indicated.

IMPACT...Damaging winds will cause some trees and large branches to 
         fall. This could injure those outdoors, as well as damage 
         homes and vehicles. Roadways may become blocked by downed 
         trees. Localized power outages are possible. Unsecured 
         light objects may become projectiles.

Glenora, Gatewood, Partlow and Brokenburg. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

For your protection move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a

Continuous cloud to ground lightning is occurring with this storm.
Move indoors immediately. Lightning is one of nature's leading
killers. Remember, if you can hear thunder, you are close enough to
be struck by lightning.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
230 PM EDT Wed Jul 14 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
An upper level disturbance will move across the area this
evening. Weak high pressure will settle across the region
Thursday before shifting to our south on Friday. A cold front
will slowly approach the area this weekend, potentially
stalling nearby early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Upper level trough continues to shift eastward as the Bermuda
high offshore weakens slightly as it becomes more concentrated
off the Carolinas. Latest radar imagery shows scattered showers
and thunderstorms developing along and east of the Blue Ridge.
These will continue to increase in frequency and intensity over
the next few hours. Overall atmospheric conditions haven't
chanced much. Except MUCAPE has increased slightly to 1500-2000
J/Kg mainly east of I-81 where SPC has highlighted a marginal
risk for severe storms. Shear continues to range between 20-30
kts while mid level lapse rates remain poor at around 5-6C.
Therefore, still expecting the worse of the convective activity
to remain mainly inside I-81 through early this evening. These storms
do have the potential to be severe, where wind damage is the
primary threat given DCAPE values near 1000 J/Kg.

Any remnant shower activity should cease by late evening as
overnight lows bottom out in the low 70s for areas mainly east
of I-95 and mid 60s elsewhere.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Upper level trough will continue to swing through the area
Thursday morning. Thereafter, H5 ridging associated with the
Bermuda high banked off the Carolinas will restrengthen over
the remainder of the day into Friday. As a result, heat and
humidity will continue during this time. Conditions should
remain fairly dry Thursday as heights rise. Better conditions
for scattered showers and thunderstorms on Friday given the
unstable atmosphere, coupled with weak shortwave energy
traversing across the ridge axis.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

A slow moving front is forecast to drop down into our region
Saturday into Sunday. Ahead of the front, a warm and moist
environment will lead to formation of showers and thunderstorms.
Another warm and humid day is expected on Saturday with afternoon
temps rising once again up into the low to mid 90s. The slow nature
of the frontal passage along with a weak flow will lead to an
increased threat for flooding on Saturday. Decent CAPE values will
likely lead to a pulse thunderstorm threat on Saturday that will be
capable of producing heavy rainfall and strong winds. The big flood
threat will likely occur on Sunday when the front is forecast to
drop through our region. The weak nature of the upper trough will
mean the front will be slow to exit our region. The stalling nature
of front boundary combined with the high PW's will lead to another
threat for flooding on Sunday. The threat for flooding looks higher
at this time on Sunday as the front will become the focus for
continue shower and thunderstorm development. We will need to
monitor model trends to determine where the front will end up
stalling which will determine the highest threat area for flooding.

The front is forecast to remain stalled near our region through
Monday. Flooding will continue to be a concern into early next week
but the front may sink far enough south on Monday to limit the
threat area. Cooler and drier conditions should build into our
region on Monday as our region becomes positioned on the cooler side
of the trough. A weak upper trough should finally push the front
southward away from our region on Tuesday. Showers will continue to
be possible on Tuesday as the upper trough access moves overhead but
the lack of deep moisture due to a NW flow may limit shower coverage.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Mainly VFR conditions are expected to continue through this
evening under a WSW flow. However, with the expected
development of showers and thunderstorms this afternoon across
the terminals, could see brief reductions in CIG/VSBYs. Patchy
fog develops overnight which also may reduce VSBYs through early
Thursday morning, with the best potential being over CHO and
MRB. Weak high pressure and southerly winds return for the
remainder of the week as conditions remain mostly VFR.

VFR conditions to start Saturday but increasing showers and
thunderstorms will likely lead to subVFR conditions Saturday
afternoon through Sunday. Winds will remain light out of the south
on Saturday but will slowly become northwesterly by Monday. SubVFR
conditions may continue into Monday.

&&

.MARINE...
Gusty showers and thunderstorms are expected to move across
portions of the waters late this afternoon through early this
evening which may prompt the issuance of SMWs. For the remainder
of the week, mainly sub-SCA conditions expected for most of the
waters. However, could see the potential for additional SCAs for
the lower bay as southerly channeling strengthens. SubSCA
conditions mainly expected this weekend except for within strong
showers and thunderstorms.
