Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
239 PM EDT Mon Jul 26 2021

.SYNOPSIS...

A weak cold front will stall out over central Virginia into southern
Maryland through Tuesday. Another weak cold front will approach from
the north Wednesday while an upper-level disturbance passes through.
A stronger cold front will pass through late Thursday into early
Friday and high pressure will build overhead for Saturday before
moving offshore Sunday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...

A cold front has dropped south through our region from PA this
afternoon and is currently located over parts central Virginia.
Storms and showers have formed along and south of the front this
afternoon with a one storm having already becoming severe. The Storm
Prediction Center has issued SVR watch 392 for large portions of
southern and central Virginia including Nelson and Albemarle
counties from our forecast area. A combination of warm and humid
conditions along and ahead of the front combined with modest CAPE
will lead a threat for large hail and damaging winds. The main
threat for strong to severe storms will be areas along and south of
I-64 but I can't rule out a few stronger storms from forming north
of the front this evening. Showers and thunderstorms will continue
to be a threat this evening and coverage should start to lesson
later this evening. Some  CAM's indicate that showers and storms
could reform further north over the DC metro this evening but
confidence remains low on this threat especially with a
northwesterly flow. PW's will be close to 2 inches ahead of the
front that Flash Flooding will be a concern especially down in parts
of Nelson and Augusta counties that have receive precipitation the
past few nights.

As the front progresses further north later this evening, the threat
for strong storms and flash flooding will start to diminish as drier
air slowly builds our region. Skies will become mostly clear
overnight with winds becoming light out of the south. Fog will
likely be a concern for areas down in central Virginia where
precipitation will occur this afternoon. Overnight lows will be
near to slight above normal in the 60s to lower 70s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...

High pressure will briefly build into our region on Tuesday with
light winds continuing out of the north. An upper trough north of
the Great Lakes is expected to drop south into PA. Shortwave energy
along the southern parts of the trough may produce some
isolated showers on Tuesday. I believe the threat remains
relatively for showers on Tuesday especially with a continued
northwesterly flow aloft advecting in drier air into the region. The
combination of mostly clear skies along with a light flow will
allow temps to rise up into the low to mid 90s on Tuesday. Typically
as we get temps up into the mid 90s, the heat indices will become an
issue but the lack of moisture advection will limit heat indexes to
the 90s.

An upper level ridge will build over the central US Tuesday through
Wednesday with a trough axis over the NE US. The positioning of the
upper ridge will place our region in favorable location to allow
for shortwaves to move over the ridge and drop down into our region.
These shortwaves combined with a front approaching from the north may
allow for showers and thunderstorms to form over the northern half
of our CWA especially considering that temps will be hovering in the
90s. The main limiting factor for storm development will be the lack
of good moisture in place on Wednesday. Afternoon temps be warm
once again in the low to mid 90s. A marginal risk for SVR weather
has been issued by SPC for areas along the MD/PA border for
Wednesday due to the combination of shortwaves and a front slowly
approaching from the north.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...

An upper-level trough will strengthen over New England Thursday and
Friday while the trough axis extends down through the Mid-Atlantic.
A potent upper-level disturbance and jetmax associated with the
trough will dig into New England during this time, and this will
allow for a stronger cold front to approach Thursday before passing
through Thursday night into Friday.

There will be some return flow ahead of the frontal passage which
will allow for instability to develop. At the same time, moderate
shear profiles are expected due to stronger northwest winds aloft
associated with the upper-level trough and lower heights. Steep low-
level lapse rates, increasing instability, stronger shear and
forcing from the cold front suggests that thunderstorms are
possible, and some storms may be severe. The best chance for severe
appears to be Thursday afternoon and evening, but timing could shift
depending on exactly when the cold front passes through.

The cold front will continue to push to the south for Friday into
Friday night. However, the boundary could get hung up across our
extreme southern zones for a period Friday, so a shower or
thunderstorm is possible across those areas, but for most areas it
will turn out less humid and dry.

High pressure will build overhead Friday night and Saturday,
bringing dry and cooler conditions along with lower humidity. The
high will move offshore for Sunday and warmer air will return.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...

Showers and thunderstorms will mainly impact the CHO terminal this
afternoon and evening causing possible MVFR to IFR restrictions.
Storms will have the potential to produce gusty winds and large hail
through this evening for CHO terminal. Showers or thunderstorms
can't be ruled out for the DC metro terminals this evening but
confidence remains low. VFR conditions should return Tuesday and
Wednesday for all terminals but fog will be possible for the CHO
terminal late this evening and into Tuesday morning.

A cold front will pass through late Thursday into early Friday. A
few thunderstorms are possible ahead of the boundary, especially
Thursday afternoon and evening. Some storms may become severe, with
damaging winds being the primary threat.

The boundary will push to the south for Friday, but it may get hung
up close to KCHO. An isolated storm near KCHO is possible, but other
areas should be dry with northwest winds.

&&

.MARINE...

Small Craft Advisories are not expected through Wednesday but
showers and thunderstorms may impact our southern bay waters this
evening.

A cold front will approach the waters Thursday before
passing through Thursday night into Friday. Winds may approach SCA
criteria ahead of the front late Thursday into Thursday night (from
southerly winds), and again behind the front late Thursday night and
Friday (from northwest winds).

A few thunderstorms are possible Thursday afternoon and evening, and
some may produce gusty winds. An isolated t-storm near the extreme
southern portion of the waters around Tangier Island cannot be
completely ruled out Friday afternoon, but most places will be dry.
