AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
307 PM EDT MON JUN 10 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTH OF THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT. HIGH
PRESSURE BRIEFLY BUILDS IN FOR WEDNESDAY...THEN LOW PRESSURE IS
EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY
NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS FOR FRIDAY AND MAY HOLD INTO THE
WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS THE WARM FRONT HAS LIFTED NORTH OF THE MASON-
DIXON LINE INTO SRN PA THIS AFTN WHILE A CLOSED LOW CURRENTLY OVER
IN CONTINUES TO MOVE EWD. BROAD UPPER DIFFLUENCE AND DEEP SLY FLOW
AHEAD OF THE LOW HAS PLACED THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION IN A VERY MOIST
AIRMASS WITH PWATS GREATER THAN 2 INCHES.
A TORNADO WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR THE CWA EXCEPT FOR THE POTOMAC
HIGHLANDS UNTIL 10 PM. ONLY A FEW BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER WERE
NEEDED TO DESTABILIZE THE MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER THIS AFTN. THE
STRENGTHENING SLY LLVL JET WILL PRODUCE SUFFICIENT SHEAR FOR
STORMS TO ORGANIZE INTO LOW-TOPPED SUPERCELLS AND BOWING SEGMENTS.
SHOWERS AND TSTMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP DURING THE PEAK HEATING
HRS. THE MAIN THREATS WITH THESE STORMS WILL BE VERY HEAVY
RAINFALL...DAMAGING WINDS AND A FEW TORNADOES. THE THREAT FOR
TORNADOES WILL LIKELY BE ENHANCED FARTHER NORTH OVER NORTHERN MD
JUST SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT WHERE THE SFC WINDS ARE BACKED
SLIGHTLY.
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF THE CWA THRU THE
EVE. WITH THE GROUND ALREADY SATURATED AND CREEKS/STREAMS ELEVATED
FROM HVY RAINFALL EXTENDING BACK TO LATE LAST WEEK...IT WILL NOT
TAKE MUCH TO PRODUCE FLASH FLOODING. 1- AND 3-HR FFG IS ACCORDINGLY
VERY LOW /AROUND AN INCH/ ACROSS THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH AREA. THE
WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THRU THE EVE. CONVECTION WILL WANE FROM WEST
TO EAST LATE THIS EVE AND OVNGT.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
MID-/UPPER- LVL TROUGH WILL MOVE THRU THE I-95 CORRIDOR TUE MRNG AND
EAST OF THE AREA BY THE AFTN. LARGE-SCALE SUBSIDENCE IN WAKE OF THE
TROUGH PASSAGE WILL BECOME ENHANCED BY DOWNSLOPING WLY FLOW OFF
THE MTS. BOTH 12Z GFS/NAM BUFKIT SOUNDINGS INDICATE THAT CONVECTION
SHOULD BE HELD AT BAY FOR MUCH OF THE AREA BY MID-LVL CAP.
HOWEVER...SFC PRESSURE TROUGH IS FCST TO STALL NEAR THE CHSPK BAY
TUE AFTN. LLVL CONVERGENCE AND HIGHER DEWPOINTS AHEAD OF THE TROUGH
MAY ALLOW SHOWERS TO OVERCOME CAP NEAR/EAST OF I-95. MAX TEMPS
GENERALLY IN THE LOW AND MID 80S.
KEPT FCST FOR TUE NGT DRY WITH WEAK SFC HIPRES TRYING TO BUILD INTO
THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION. MIN TEMPS RANGING FROM THE UPPER 50S IN THE
ALLEGHENY FRONT TO NEAR 70F IN THE CITIES AND ALONG THE WRN SHORE OF
THE BAY.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
ACTIVE PATTERN EXPECTED TO CONTINUE WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY
NIGHT. AM INCREASINGLY CONCERNED FOR HEAVY RAINFALL SOMETIME IN
THE WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT PERIOD WHICH COULD
RESULT IN RENEWED FLOODING CONCERNS. HAVE ADDED THREAT OF HEAVY
RAINFALL AND FLASH FLOODING IN THE HWO.
MODELS SHOW THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT MOVES THROUGH TONIGHT
STALLED OUT TO THE SOUTH THROUGH MIDWEEK. MEANWHILE...MODELS
INDICATE MULTIPLE WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE RIDING ALONG THE FRONT. WE
WOULD BE TO THE NORTH OF THE FRONT...AND WITHIN THE MID-LEVEL
STEERING FLOW WHICH WOULD PUT US IN A FAVORABLE AREA TO RECEIVE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. MUCH OF WEDNESDAY MAY BE DRY...BUT
THEREAFTER LOOKS UNSETTLED. WILL HAVE TO FINE TUNE DETAILS AS WE
GET CLOSER.
THURSDAY NIGHT WAVE SHOULD PUSH THE FRONT FURTHER SOUTH...WITH
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FOR FRIDAY AND HOLDING INTO THE WEEKEND.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THROUGH 20Z...DCA...BWI...AND MTN TERMINALS WILL HAVE HEAVY SHOWERS
AND EMBEDDED TSTMS. VSBYS AND CIGS WILL BRIEFLY BE REDUCED TO MVFR
OR IFR CONDITIONS BEFORE RETURNING TO VFR BETWEEN 20Z AND 22Z AS
SKIES CLEAR BEFORE THE NEXT ROUND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS. AS FOR
MRB...CHO...AND IAD...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH 20Z.
HOWEVER...RAPIDLY DEVELOPING SHOWERS AND HEAVY THUNDERSTORMS WILL
QUICKLY MOVE EAST FROM THE POTOMAC HIGHLANDS INTO THESE TERMINALS
AND ARRIVE BETWEEN 21Z AND 00Z. SOME STORMS WILL HAVE GUSTY WINDS
WITH BRIEF GUSTS OVER 30 KNOTS. THE STRONGEST STORMS WILL BE
SEVERE AS A SURFACE COLD FRONT AND ITS UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT MOVE
ACROSS THE TERMINALS. AN ISOLATED TORNADO...PERHAPS PRODUCING
GUSTS OVER 50 KNOTS...IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION AT ANY OF OUR SIX
TERMINALS. RECENT OBSERVATIONS IN THE MIDDLE AND UPPER LEVELS OF
THE ATMOSPHERE HAS SHOWN AN INCREASE IN POTENTIAL WIND SHEAR. THIS
IS IN RESPECT TO THE TORNADO WATCH THAT WAS ISSUED AND IS IN
EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM LT.
COLD FRONT LOOKS TO MOVE THROUGH FROM THE WEST TONIGHT...LEADING
TO LESS COVERAGE OF CONVECTION AND A WIND SHIFT TO THE WEST
OVERNIGHT.
FRONTAL BOUNDARY STALLS OUT TO THE SOUTH AND WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE
MAY BRING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
THURSDAY NIGHT. WILL HAVE TO FINE TUNE DETAILS AS WE GET CLOSER.
&&
.MARINE...
SLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE FROM SOUTH TO NORTH THIS AFTN AS
A WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH OF THE WATERS AND ARE GENERALLY GUSTING
15-20 KT AS OF 3 PM. LLVL JET INCREASES 40-45 KT LATE THIS AFTN
JUST A FEW THOUSAND FEET OFF THE GROUND. THIS COMBINED WITH
CHANNELING WILL HELP BOOST WINDS UP THE BAY/LOWER TIDAL POTOMAC
RIVER INTO SCA TERRITORY LATER THIS AFTN.
SCT THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS...
DAMAGING WINDS AND WATERSPOUTS. MARINERS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED
TO HEAD SPECIAL MARINE WARNINGS IF ON THE WATERS THIS AFTN AND EVE.
COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE BAY LATE TONIGHT/EARLY TUESDAY WITH A
WIND SHIFT. POST-FRONTAL WINDS SHIFT TO THE WEST ON TUESDAY AND
COULD BE CLOSE TO SCA CRITERIA.GIVEN LOW CONFIDENCE WILL REFRAIN
FROM ISSUING SCA.
FRONT STALLS TO THE SOUTH THROUGH MID-WEEK...WITH LOW PRESSURE
RIDING ALONG THE FRONT LIKELY BRINGING UNSETTLED CONDITIONS.

Eyewitness accounts and storm damage survey concluded a small tornado occurred in Fork, MD, from approximately 3:28 to 3:30 PM EDT on June 10, 2013.
About six trees were uprooted in the Mount Vista Estates subdivision of Fork along Vista View Court. These trees were a mix of hardwood and softwood, some falling at angles of up to 120 degrees from each other. Several eyewitnesses saw swirling debris within the wind field as the damage was occurring. Additional tree damage along with damage to a wood fence was located across the street from Fork United Methodist Church on Fork Road, approximately 0.5 miles North of the damage in Mount Vista Estates. The survey team crossed the path between these two points, as well as up to two miles on either end of the damage, but no further damage could be found.

A metal building structure in the south Locust Point Marine Terminal was damaged when a waterspout over the Patapsco River came onshore, transforming to a small tornado from approximately 3:44 to 3:45 PM EDT on June 10, 2013.
The metal building structure had a portion of its northeast roof peeled up, wrapping it back and folding it over the east-facing side of the building. Additionally, a small trailer on wheels was demolished as it was propelled to the northwest about 60 feet from its position on Cinder Blocks. An air conditioning unit which was permanently installed in the wall of an office on the north facing side of the building in proximity to where the roof damage occurred was blown-in. A large amount of debris was seen plastered to a east-facing chain link fence on the north side of the parking lot.
Areas to the north Marine Terminal were also surveyed, and no further damage was found.

A trampoline near a residence on Colton Point Road next to the town post office was lifted up and became lodged 90 feet up in a nearby tall pine tree.
