Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 241 PM EDT Thu Jul 28 2022 .SYNOPSIS... Multiple fronts will pass through the region through Friday evening. High pressure builds over the region for the weekend before a warm front lifts northward through our region early next week. Another system may impact the region by the middle parts of next week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Isolated to scattered showers are currently occurring over parts of central VA this afternoon as a weak surface trough passes through our region. A cold front currently located over the Ohio River Valley is expected to pass through our region late this afternoon and into this evening. Ahead of the frontal passage, a south to southwesterly flow has led to afternoon temperatures creeping up into the upper 80s to lower 90s with dewpoints in the mid to upper 70s. Areas along the Potomac River and down into southern MD currently have heat indices between 102 and 107 F. Isolated to scattered showers will continue to be possible through this afternoon and into this evening with an isolated threat for thunderstorms. CAPE is forecast to only be about 1000 to 1500 j/kg with modest shear around 35 knots. Any thunderstorms that do occur will likely be more discrete in nature vs organized as westerly flow will introduce some mid level dry air. Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible especially if we get some interact between the surface trough and the bay breeze. Overall, the threat for severe weather will remain low with the main threat being damaging winds. Showers and thunderstorms should taper after 8pm as the front passes through our region. Behind the frontal passage, winds will briefly become more west to northwesterly with slightly cooler conditions in the upper 60s to lower 70s. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... A second, stronger cold front is forecast to pass through the region late Friday afternoon and through the evening periods. Ahead of the frontal passage, winds will briefly become southerly leading to increased advection of warm and moist air. Shear is expected to be much higher around 40 to 55 knots with the best shear located along the MD/PA border where an upper level jet will pass nearby. CAPE values of 1500 to 2000 j/kg will combine with shear around 50 knots and forcing from the front to bring a more widespread threat for strong thunderstorms on Friday. Based on CAMs for Friday, the threat for storms may occur later in the evening along the frontal boundary. Severe weather will be a threat for Friday with the main hazards being damaging wind gusts along with a threat for flooding due to training storms and high PW's around 2 inches. The front is forecast to exit the region by daybreak Saturday morning and drop south of our region. High pressure is expected to build over our region on Saturday leading to a return of drier and cooler weather. Afternoon temperatures will be much cooler in the mid 80s with dewpoints in the low 60s. Depending on where the front stalls to the south of our region on Saturday, some showers could creep into parts of central VA and southern MD. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... Sunday will start out dry with the front remaining stalled over the southern mid atlantic and an area of high pressure remaining to our north. Precipitation and humidity will return to the area as the front begins to shift northwards, interacting with a shortwave trough near our area. Typical summer time pattern returns Sunday afternoon with an increased chance of precipitation and storms. Rain showers should stay to our south with few storms entering our area. Going into the work week, the typical summertime pattern remains with a chance of showers and storms on Monday and Tuesday. Temperatures should stay in the mid to upper 80s with higher relative humidity values on Monday. On Wednesday, a ridge builds to our north continuing the unsettled pattern. Temperatures should rise into the low to mid 90s with scattered showers and few storms. The chance for any storms is increased west of the mountains. && .AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... VFR conditions expected through this afternoon but brief restrictions will be possible with showers and storms. Winds will begin out of the south to southwest this afternoon and become west to northwesterly behind a frontal passage. Another cold front will pass through all terminals Friday afternoon and evening bringing an increased threat for thunderstorms to all terminals. Gusty winds will be possible within storms along with brief restrictions. VFR conditions along with winds becoming westerly are expected on Saturday. VFR conditions are expected in the area Sunday into Monday. Sunday could bring showers into the area near the mountains with showers possible across the entire area on Monday. && .MARINE... Showers and thunderstorms may form along the bay breeze bringing a chance for gusty winds over our waters this afternoon. A cold front will pass through the waters on Friday bring strong thunderstorms and gusty winds. SubSCA conditions are expected on Saturday.
