The episode as NWS LWX wrote it up.
A deep upper level trough tapped into Gulf and Atlantic moisture which led to heavy rain across the Mid Atlantic. Tropical-like conditions resulted in showers and thunderstorms to persist before a cold front moved through later in the day.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Baltimore/Washington wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at May 16, 3:24 AM EST, 1 minute earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
424 AM EDT FRI MAY 16 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY MOVE THROUGH THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES
THROUGH MIDDAY AND OFF THE COAST LATER TODAY. AN UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH WILL PERSIST OVER THE EASTERN STATES THROUGH SUNDAY.
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS OVER THE REGION THROUGH TUESDAY.
WEAK LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE MID-
ATLANTIC WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH A TRAILING COLD FRONT STALLING AND
PERSISTING THROUGH FRIDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
UPDATE...EXTENDED THE GALE WRNG FOR THE REST OF THE TIDAL PTMC RVR
THRU NOON AS WELL. ISSUED SCA FOR THE FEW HRS AFTER THE GALE
EXPIRES - INTO THE EVE HRS.
PREV DISC...
THE MOISTURE PLUME/CONVEYOR BELT NOW STATIONED DIRECTLY OVER THE
EASTERN SEABOARD...W/ AMPLE GULF/SRN ATLC MOISTURE RIDING UP THIS
CORRIDOR OVERNIGHT. A DYNAMIC SYSTEM BECAUSE OF THE DEPTH OF THE
UPPER TROUGH...DIGGING ALL THE WAY DOWN FROM S CNTRL CANADA TO THE
GULF COAST - SCOOPING-UP A RELATIVELY THIN BUT INTENSE BAND OF
SHOWERS ALONG THE EAST COAST STATES.
EMBEDDED ALONG THIS LONG CORRIDOR OF SEEMINGLY ENDLESS MOISTURE
ARE SMALLER EMBEDDED SFC LOW FEATURES...W/ ONE OF THE MORE INTENSE
ONES NOW MOVING DIRECTLY ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF THE CWA. THE COLD
FRONT STRETCHING OUT FROM THE SRN FLANK OF THE LOW IS NOW SLIDING
ACROSS THE HWY 29 CORRIDOR OF THE NRN VA PIEDMONT. THE SFC TROUGH
OVER THE NRN FLANK IS OVER THE INTERSECTION OF MD/VA/WV AND AREAS
TO THE NORTH. WITH THIS FEATURE EFFECTIVELY BISECTING THE REGION
INTO WRN/ERN HALVES...THE SFC OBS TELL THE STORY W/ DROPPING TEMPS
AND DEWPOINTS OVER THE MTNS/SHEN VLY...WHILE RELATIVELY WARM AND
VERY MOIST AIR REMAINS E OF THE SLOW-MOVING BOUNDARIES.
AN INTENSE LOW LEVEL JET NOT ONLY TRANSPORTING MOISTURE DUE NORTH
THRU THIS CORRIDOR BUT ALSO ADDING AN ELEMENT TO THE CONVECTIVE
POTENTIAL...MAKING UP FOR THE LACK OF INSTABILITY TO A DEGREE. LOW
INSTABILITY PREVENTING THE MOST "INTENSE" LINEAR ELEMENTS FROM
BREAKING THRU THE MID LEVELS - SO THESE STORMS ARE LOW-TOPPED...WHICH
IS TYPICAL OF TROPICAL-TYPE CONVECTION ANYWAY.
THE TROPICAL NATURE OF THIS PRECIP ALSO CREATING THE BIGGEST
THREAT FOR OUR REGION - FLOODING. LIKE THE EVENT FROM A COUPLE OF
WEEKS AGO...TRAINS OF MOISTURE HAVE BEEN MOVING OVER THE SAME
TERRAIN AND LOCALES SINCE LATE LAST EVE. THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH
REMAINS IN EFFECT THRU MIDDAY BUT ALSO ACTS AS A NOTICE THAT
GENERAL AND AREAL FLOODING EXPECTED AND OCCURRING THIS MRNG.
SEE HYDRO SECTION FOR MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE FLASH FLOOD AND
RIVER FLOOD POTENTIAL.
THE SFC LOW WILL TRACK NE OF THE BALTIMORE BY MID MRNG FRI. NW FLOW
AROUND THE LOW SHOULD PROVIDE ENOUGH OF A SURGE FOR THE COLD FRONT
TO MOVE EAST OF THE CHSPK BAY BY ERY AFTN ON FRI. PRECIP WILL END
FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THIS TIME.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH AND A REINFORCING COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. A FEW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THE
FRONT...BUT ANY RAIN WILL BE LIGHT AND NOT ENOUGH TO CONTRIBUTE TO
ADDITIONAL FLOODING.
THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES WILL REMAIN AT THE BASE OF THE UPPER
TROUGH THIS WEEKEND WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING AT THE SFC
OVERHEAD. COOLER AND DRIER CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED WITH HIGHS
IN THE 60S TO NEAR 70 BOTH DAYS.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
EARLY NEXT WEEK...THE NEGATIVELY TILED LONG WAVE TROUGH WILL BECOME
A CLOSED LOW OFF THE NORTHEAST COAST AS MORE POTENT VORT MAX AND JET
MAX ROUND THE BASE OF THE TROUGH. NORTHWEST FLOW/GRADIENT INCREASE
ALOFT AS THIS MID LEVEL JET MAX MOVES OVERHEAD MONDAY. WILL LIKELY
SEE SOME GOOD DAYTIME MIXING AND BREEZY WINDS WITH A DRY AIRMASS IN
PLACE AND STRONG DAYTIME HEATING. BROAD UPPER RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL
CONUS WILL THEN BUILD EAST THROUGH MID WEEK...RESULTING IN RISING
HEIGHT WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE THROUGH TUESDAY.
WEDNESDAY AS SURFACE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTHEAST ACROSS THE
REGION...MODELS SHOWING SHORT WAVE ON THE FRONT SIDE OF THE RIDGE
TRIGGERING SOME CONVECTION AND HAVE MAINTAINED NORTHEAST PROGRESSION
OF POPS ACCORDINGLY.
&&
.AVIATION /09Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
WIDESPREAD MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD NORTH
ACROSS THE TERMINALS THIS MORNING AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. IFR CIGS
WILL OVERSPREAD THE REGION TONIGHT...WITH IFR VSBYS DURING THE
HEAVIEST PRECIP. COLD FRONT CLEARS THIS AFTERNOON WITH VFR THEN INTO
NEXT WEEK AS SFC HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY BUILDS.
A REINFORCING COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH TONIGHT AND HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVERHEAD FOR THE WEEKEND THROUGH EARLY NEXT
WEEK.
HIGH PRESSURE TO THE WEST AND LOW PRESSURE TO THE EAST
WILL SET UP GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS FOR MONDAY. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY AS A WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTHEAST ACROSS THE
REGION.
&&
.MARINE...
GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 30 KT WHICH WILL BECOME NUMEROUS OVERNIGHT AND
CONTINUE THRU FRI MRNG - W/ THE GALE WRNG STILL IN EFFECT FOR THE
BAY - SCA FOR THE UPPER TP RVR. HEAVY RAINFALL TNGT AND FRI MRNG
WILL BE CONCURRENT WITH LOW VSBYS.
THE COLD FRONT MOVES THRU THE WATERS THIS MRNG. THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT DECREASES QUICKLY IN WAKE OF FROPA SO GUSTY NW WINDS ARE
EXPECTED. WINDS MAY GO FROM GALES JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT TO BELOW
SCA WINDS IN ONLY A FEW HRS AROUND MIDDAY.
A REINFORCING COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT AND HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVERHEAD THIS WEEKEND.
HIGH PRESSURE TO THE WEST AND LOW PRESSURE TO THE EAST WILL SET
UP GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS FOR MONDAY. SCA MAY BE NEEDED. THUNDERSTORMS
WILL BE POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY AS A WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTHEAST ACROSS
THE REGION.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
NUMEROUS FLOOD WARNINGS IN EFFECT OVERNIGHT AND INTO THE EARLY
MRNG HRS. TOTAL RAINFALL STILL IN THE 2-4" RANGE BUT ISOLATED
LOCALES HIGHER. THE POTENTIAL FOR A WIDE RANGE OF RAINFALL TOTALS
LEADS TO CONTINUED UNCERTAINTY IN FORECASTS FOR THE LARGER RIVERS.
UPDATES WILL COME LATER THIS MRNG W/ UPDATED RVR FORECASTS.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
THE HIGH TIDE CYCLE THIS MORNING IS THE HIGHER DIURNAL TIDE...
AND ANOMALIES SHOULD BE AT LEAST 1.5 FEET ABOVE NORMAL. A COASTAL
FLOOD ADVISORY FOR THE ENTIRE AREA ADJACENT TO THE TIDAL ZONE FOR
THAT TIDE IS IN EFFECT WITH WIDESPREAD EFFECTS. MODERATE FLOOD
LEVEL (3.3FT MLLW) WILL BE APPROACHED BUT JUST COME UP SHORT AT
ANNAPOLIS.
TIDAL ANOMALY SHOULD DROP LATER THIS AFTN/EVE AS THE COLD FRONT
SLOWLY PUSHES EAST. HOWEVER...THE ANOMALY DROP MAY BE SLOW DUE TO
THE LACK OF STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW. ADDITIONALLY...THERE IS
POTENTIAL FOR FRESHWATER INUNDATION OF THE TIDAL ZONE IN THE UPPER
POTOMAC OVER THE WEEKEND...WHICH COULD REQUIRE THE ISSUANCE OF
COASTAL FLOOD WATCHES BY FRIDAY.
