HIGH PRESSURE STRENGTHENING OVER NEW ENGLAND WILL ALLOW COOLER AIR TO SEEP INTO THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC BY FRIDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

MOST FAVORABLE AXIS FOR DEVELOPMENT THIS PM AND THIS EVENING WILL BE ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE...WHERE SURFACE CONVERGENCE EXISTS...ALONG WITH A DEWPOINT BOUNDARY. ALTHOUGH CORE OF COLDEST H5 AND H7 AIR IS TO OUR SOUTHWEST...IT SERVED A PURPOSE TO LOWER THE FREEZING LEVEL IN COMPARISON TO YESTERDAYS EVENT. WITH MANY OF THESES STORMS PRODUCING PEA SIZED HAIL. HOWEVER...SURFACE DEWPOINTS ARE ONLY MAXING OUT NEAR 60F...SO NOT EXPECTING AS MANY WARNINGS AS YESTERDAY AT THIS POINT.

LIKELY POPS WERE KEPT FOR WEDNESDAY...WITH SREF/GFS STILL SHOWING MORE COVERAGE...AS A BAROCLINIC ZONE DEVELOPS ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE AND WEST DUE TO THE ONSET OF NE TO E FLOW/COOL AIR/UPSLOPE COMPONENT...AS HIGH PRESSURE INTENSIFIES OVER NEW ENGLAND. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...

ANOTHER POTENT SHRTWV...CLOSED THROUGH H3...DROPS ALONG IT ON FRIDAY WITH MORE COVERAGE THAN THURSDAY. BIGGEST CHG TO THIS TIMEFRAME WAS TO INC POPS JUST BELOW LOW LIKELY IN FAVORED UPSLOPE SPOTS...MORE SPECIFICALLY EXTREME SW COUNTIES. ALSO...DID TAKE 2-4F OFF OF HIGH TEMPS FRI ACROSS THE BOARD...WHICH JUST GOT MAX T GRIDS INTO THE HIGHER END OF GUIDANCE. UNDOUBTEDLY...POPS WILL NEED TO BE INC IN THESE PARTS ON FUTURE SHIFTS...BUT NEEDED TO STAY WITHIN COLLAB FOR NOW.

DID FOLLOW HPC GRIDS CLOSELY...WHICH KEEP POPS OUT OF THE FORECAST UNTIL THE END OF THE LONG TERM.
