...A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 745 PM EDT
FOR SOUTHEASTERN PRINCE GEORGES COUNTY...

At 714 PM EDT, a severe thunderstorm was located over Clinton, moving
east at 15 mph.

HAZARD...60 mph wind gusts.

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.

Locations impacted include...
Clinton, Rosaryville, Marlton, Brandywine, Baden and Cheltenham. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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

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
245 PM EDT Tue Aug 10 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
A high pressure will remain in place over the southeast US
through Friday with continued chances for showers and
thunderstorms each day. A cold front will move through our
region and stall nearby this weekend into early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A subtropical ridge will remain over the Atlantic and
southeastern CONUS while an upper-level trough digs over central
Canada into the northern Plains. Surface high pressure will
remain over the Atlantic during this time.

A southerly flow around the high over the Atlantic along with
high 500mb heights associated with the subtropical ridge nearby
will cause hot and humid conditions this afternoon. However,
dewpoints have mixed out enough that heat indices should remain
below criteria. Highs will most likely be in the lower to
middle 90s with heat indices in the mid 90s to lower 100s (with
the highest heat indices around and east of Interstate 95).

A few showers and thunderstorms have developed across northern
and central Virginia this afternoon. This activity has developed
along a surface trough and differential heating boundary. The
surface trough does extend into north-central MD as well. East
of this instability is higher with 1500-2500 J/KG in the latest
mesoanalysis. Despite weak shear, activity should increase in
coverage and intensity as it propagates east into the more
unstable environment. Steep low-level lapse rates and mid-level
dry air has increased DCAPE to around 1000 J/KG as well.
Therefore, storms will be capable of producing damaging wind
gusts as they move east of the Blue Ridge and Catoctin Mountains
this afternoon into early evening. Activity should wane quickly
after sunset due to the loss of daytime heating.

There is also another area of organized convection over
southwest Pennsylvania. This will approach the Allegheny
Highlands this afternoon. Some gusty winds from the storms may
impact the Allegheny Highlands, but these storms should weaken
east of the mountains as it moves into an area with less
instability.

Warm and humid conditions will persist overnight with patchy
fog. Min temps will range from the 60s in the mountains to the
70s for most other locations.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
The subtropical ridge will remain to the south to for Wednesday
while high pressure remains over the Atlantic. Another shortwave
will pass through in the zonal flow aloft.

Low-level temps are progged to be about 1-3 degrees C higher
compared to today (Tuesday), so max temps are most likely to be
a bit hotter. This will put heat indices around criteria (near
100 west of Interstate 95 into the eastern Panhandle of West
Virginia to around 105 degrees near and east of Interstate 95).
Therefore, heat advisories have been issued. Farther southwest
across the Shenandoah Valley into the Potomac Highlands,
elevations are a bit higher, so slightly lower dewpoints and
temps will keep temps and humidity below criteria (upper 70s to
lower 80s along ridge tops to lower and middle 90s in the
valleys).

The heat and humidity will lead to more instability, so
scattered thunderstorms are possible and an isolated
severe/flood threat will persist due to the high instability.

Wednesday night will turn out warm and humid with patchy fog,
but widespread fog is not expected due to mid-level clouds
associated with more shortwave energy. An isolated shower cannot
be ruled out during this time as well.

The subtropical ridge will push northward Thursday behind a
departing shortwave. The subsidence from this will cause even
hotter conditions with max temps well into the 90s for most
areas to around 100 degrees. Dewpoints will remain relatively
high due to a southwest flow. Therefore, heat indices should
even be higher with max values around 105 degrees west of
Interstate 95 into the eastern Panhandle of West Virginia to
around 110 degrees along/east of Interstate 95 possible. An
Excessive Heat Watch has been issued for these areas. Elsewhere,
heat indices will be a bit lower, but perhaps values 100 around
degrees are possible in the Shenandoah Valley as well as the
valleys in the Potomac Highlands.

The heat and humidity will lead to an unstable atmosphere, so
thunderstorms are possible Thursday afternoon and evening.
However, confidence for storms is lower due to subsidence in the
mid-levels from increasing 500mb heights. Any storms that do
develop can be strong to perhaps even severe due to the
unstable atmosphere.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Bermuda high pressure offshore will begin to break down Friday as a
upper level trough and associated cold front continue to shift
eastward. Guidance has been persistent on indicating the slow moving
nature of the front. With the high heat and humidity continuing,
chances for scattered showers and storms will remain elevated with
the best potential for any severe storms remaining mainly west of the
Blue Ridge where forcing would be the greatest. However, the best
day at potentially more widespread severe storms and flooding would
be Saturday as the front crosses the region. However given that this
is still several days away, the finer details will need to be ironed
out in the coming days.

Canadian high pressure will move overhead for Sunday and Monday
which will give relief to the recent heat and humidity as cooler and
drier weather is expected.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Thunderstorms are likely over the terminals late this afternoon
into early this evening. Storms will be capable of producing
gusty winds and brief subVFR conditions.

VFR conditions are most likely tonight once storms dissipate,
but scattered storms are possible Wednesday afternoon and
evening as well. Thunderstorms may impact the terminals Thursday
afternoon and evening, but confidence is a bit lower due as
upper-level high pressure draws closer.

Mostly VFR conditions are expected Friday and Saturday aside from
any afternoon/early evening convective activity which could briefly
reduce CIG/VSBYs. While widespread convection is likely both days,
the better potential for more impactful thunderstorms appear to be
Saturday at this time. Winds will generally remain out of the south
through the end of the week.

&&

.MARINE...
A southerly channeling flow will lead to SCA conditions late
this afternoon into tonight. A Small Craft Advisory has been
issued for this threat. Continued southerly channeling on
Wednesday and Thursday may require further Small Craft
Advisories, but confidence is low at this time.

Scattered thunderstorms are possible over the waters late this
afternoon into this evening, and some may produce gusty winds
that warrant Special Marine Warnings. Showers and thunderstorms
with gusty winds are possible over the waters Wednesday
afternoon and evening, and again Thursday afternoon and evening.
Confidence for storms Thursday is a bit lower though due to high
pressure building aloft.

While conditions are generally expected to remain sub-SCA both
Friday and Saturday, southerly channeling may lead to the issuance
of SCAs for portions of the waters. Additionally, the elevated risk
for afternoon/early evening thunderstorms may prompt issuance of
SMWs.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
A southerly flow will cause elevated water levels through the
end of the week, but confidence for minor flooding is low due to
the relatively light flow and the wind becoming a little west of
south at times.

&&
