.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY STALLS TO OUR NORTH THROUGH THURSDAY...AND
WILL SERVE AS THE FOCUS FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGH TONIGHT. THE FRONT WILL MOVE BACK TO THE NORTH BY
FRIDAY...WITH BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE...AND WARMER THAN NORMAL
CONDITIONS...EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND.

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
CURRENT ANALYSIS SHOWS HIGH PRES WELL OFFSHORE...A STATIONARY BNDRY
REMAINING TO OUR NORTH OVER PA...WHILE LOW PRES FROM THE OH VALLEY
MVS SE SOUTH OF THE BNDRY. MODERATE THREAT FOR SVR WX CONTS FOR
THE REST OF THIS AFTN AND THRU THE EVENING HRS. THERE HAS ALREADY
BEEN 2 TOR WATCHES (447 & 449) ISSUED FOR NRN VA COUNTIES AND THE
MD ERN SHORE, RESPECTIVELY. THREAT IS MORE FOR SVR THUNDERSTORMS
THAN FOR TORNADOES...WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL BEING THE
MAIN THREATS...BUT STRONG DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND THE POSSIBILITY OF
SOME OF THESE BECOMING SUPERCELLULAR...HAS PROMPTED THE INITIAL
TOR WATCH FOR THE RISK OF ISOLATED TORNADOES. MOST INSTABILITY
INDICES MOD-STRONG/ (I.E. ML CAPE 2000-3000 J/KG...LIS -4 TO -8C)
SVR THREAT WILL SUBSIDE LATER THIS EVENING WITH LOSS OF HEATING. NAM
SHOWING PRECIP MAKING IT FARTHER SOUTH THAN OTHER MODELS...HV DOUBTS
WHETHER MUCH WILL REACH FAR SE VA/NE NC...BUT HV LEFT IN LOW CHC.
LOW TEMPS TONIGHT 68-75.

REST OF THIS WEEK AND INTO NEXT. HIGHS THU/FRI GENERALLY LWR-MID
90S WITH 80S FOR THE ERN SHORE. SAT LOOKS LIKE IT CUD BE WARMEST DAY
IN PERIOD. FOR SAT FORECAST HIGHS IN THE MID-UPR 90S COMBINED WITH
DEW PTS 68-72 AND LIGHT S WINDS...CUD POSSIBLY MEAN LOOKING AT A
HEAT ADVSY FOR THIS DAY. WILL CONT MENTION IN HWO...AND REFRAIN FROM
ANY FUTHER STATMENTS ATTM. ALSO CANNOT RULE OUT DIURNALLY DRIVEN
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTN/EARLY EVENING...SO HAVE LEFT IN SLIGHT CHC
THUNDER.

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
RISING HEIGHTS AND DEVELOPING MID LVL RIDGING OVERHEAD WILL
TRANSLATE TO HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. HAVE
CAPPED TEMPS IN THE MID 90S THRUT PERIOD...ALTHO 95-100 WOULD NOT BE
OUT OF THE QUESTION ON A COUPLE OF DAYS DURING THE EXTENDED PERIOD.
CERTAINLY THE HOTTEST PERIOD WE HAVE HAD THIS YEAR...AND ONE OF THE
HOTTER EARLY JUNE PERIODS ON RECORD. COULD WELL BE MIDWEEK NEXT WEEK
BEFORE THE NEXT COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION.

ANY SITE RTHR PROBLEMATIC ATTM...SO WENT WITH CB FCST IN RIC/PHF
AFTR 19Z. SBY HAS ABOUT THE BEST CHC TO SEE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY

.MARINE...
WINDS HAVE SLOWLY DROPPED OFF FROM MORNING SURGE...AND ARE NOW BELOW
SCA EVERYWHERE. AT THIS POINT...WILL LEAVE SCA UP ON THE NRN CSTL
WATERS UNTIL 7 PM...AS SEAS STILL AROUND 5 FEET...ALTHOUGH EXPECT
THEM TO GO BLO SCA LEVELS IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.
HEREAFTER...UPR RIDGING TAKES HOLD...WHICH SHOULD ALLOW FOR AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF BLO SCA BOATING CONDITIONS. WEAK FNTL BNDRY DROPS
INTO AREA THURSDAY/THURSDAY NIGHT...TURNING WINDS TO THE NE/E ACROSS
THE MARINE AREA INTO SATURDAY. SOME DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN MODELS WITH
RESPECT TO WIND DIRECTION FROM LATE THURSDAY INTO SATURDAY...BUT
THINK HIGHER RESOLUTION OF NAM SHOULD PERFORM BETTER...SINCE
PLACEMENT OF BNDRY QUITE SIMILAR ON BOTH MODELS.
ONCE BNDRY LIFTS NORTH LATE SATURDAY...PROLONGED PERIOD OF S/SW
WINDS WILL ENSUE INTO AT LEAST EARLY NEXT WEEK. DURNIG THIS
PERIOD...WINDS AND SEAS EXPECTED TO REMAIN BLO SCA CRITERIA.
