Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 1037 AM EDT Wed Jun 1 2022 .SYNOPSIS... Area of high pressure near the Mid-Atlantic region will stick around through today. A strong, potent cold front will cross the area Thursday night and may bring some severe thunderstorms and flooding Thursday afternoon and evening. High pressure returns shortly thereafter heading into the weekend. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... A small cluster of showers that moved into Pendleton County West Virginia have dissipated to a few sprinkles in southern parts of the county. Elsewhere and otherwise, dry conditions will prevail for another 2 to 3 hours before scattered showers and a few thunderstorms develop across parts of the region this afternoon, possibly after 1pm. This afternoon's heat and increasing humidity will aid in this convection as high temperatures reach the lower to middle 90s in most areas. As of 10am, temperatures are already in the middle 80s east of the Blue Ridge Mountains and upper 70s to lower 80s west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. A leeside trough of low pressure appears to be the focal zone for afternoon showers and thunderstorms. This activity looks to occur in parts of the Virginia Piedmont and another area near the metro areas between 1pm and 4pm. This activity should move across the Chesapeake Bay and over the Delmarva by around 5pm. Damaging winds and hail is possible with the stronger thunderstorms. A few additional showers and thunderstorms could develop across southern PA and far western Maryland this evening and overnight as they move along the Mason-Dixon region. This is the region that is under a Marginal Severe Thunderstorm threat through 8am Thursday. && .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... Previous discussion... Around 8am Thursday, low pressure is fcst to be over northern Pennsylvania and a cdfnt extending southwest through western PA. Numerous to widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected Thu afternoon and evening. There could be two separate areas of showers, one near a lee-side trof along I-95 and a second area along the front over the Appalachians Mountains. Given moderately strong mid-level flow (i.e. 40-kt winds at 500 mb), and strongly unstable air mass, some thunderstorms will be capable of producing damaging wind gusts. Mid-level flow perpendicular to sfc front should keep storms moving at fairly strong pace (o-6 km mean winds of 30kt) limiting any flash flooding potential, but some localized urban flooding can't be completely ruled out with the most intense thunderstorms. Showers will exit the area by midnight Thu night with high pressure building in for the rest of the week leading to dry conditions and seasonable temperatures just in time for the weekend. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... Quiescent weather is expected through the weekend with high pressure dominating. Temps will be near normal for early June. H5 pattern reveals broad NW flow with dry air advecting into the region from the Great Lakes. Subtle shift to more zonal/east-west flow by Monday into Tuesday. Moisture will slowly return back into the region, though temps do not moderate much given the persistent quasi-zonal flow. A cold front will move in Tuesday or Wednesday and potentially stall nearby, bringing the opportunity for unsettled weather. && .AVIATION /15Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... Low-end scattered t-storms this afternoon for main terminals mainly in the 18Z to 20Z timeframe. Nmrs-widespread t-storms along/ahead of cold front Thu afternoon and early evening with risk of damaging wind gusts. Fair weather on Friday. VFR conditions expected Saturday and Sunday. && .MARINE... Widely scattered to low-end scattered t-storms this afternoon along a lee-trof dissipating by evening. SMWs may be required. More nmrs t-storms Thu with the risk of strong wind gusts. SMWs will be likely if the convection moves over the Bay and River. SCA conditions develop behind cdfnt on Fri. High pressure persists across the waters through the weekend with winds light and variable. Winds increase during the afternoon hours each day, with marginal SCA conditions possible Sunday afternoon due to southerly channeling over the wider waters of the Chesapeake. && .LWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
