Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 258 PM EDT Sat Jun 11 2022 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will push into the area Sunday into early next week, likely stalling nearby through the middle of next week. Another frontal system may approach late next week. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/... An upper level trough remains in place over our region this afternoon. Shortwave energy moving through the upper level flow brought showers to most of the region this morning. The first batch of showers are starting to exit the region to the northeast this afternoon. Mostly cloudy skies remain in place for most of the region this afternoon but some drier air is mixing in from southwest to northeast leading to some clearing in skies over central VA. The clearing skies may reach as far northeast as the DC metro but most areas will remain broken with high clouds which may allow some brief periods of sunshine. Clearing skies over parts of central VA will allow for increased heating and may lead to some destabilization this afternoon. Models have CAPE values around 1000 j/kg with a weak SFC boundary passing through this afternoon. Scattered showers will be possible through this afternoon and into this evening with isolated to scattered thunderstorms mainly south of I-66. HiRes guidance has trended down on the coverage of storms over the past 12 hours and has shifted the heaviest axis for precipitation from the DC metro to parts of central VA. HREF MAX 6 hour precipitation still shows the potential for storms to produce 2 to 3 inches but a half inch to an inch of is more likely. Based on model soundings from this evening into the overnight periods, elevated CAPE in the hail growth zone may lead to some thunderstorms overnight which could bring some gusty winds and small hail to our marine areas. Otherwise, a widespread SVR threat is not expected at this time through this evening. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... Upper level troughing remains in place over our region through Sunday with a closed low over Canada. Multiple shortwaves are forecast to pass through our region on Sunday. An increasing southerly flow on Sunday will lead to increased advection of warm and moist air into our region. HiRes models have CAPE increasing up into 1500 to 2500 j/kg range with 30 to 40 knots of shear. The upper level trough overhead along with multiple shortwaves will likely combine with 2000+ CAPE and modest shear to produced an increased threat for strong to severe thunderstorms on Sunday. SPC has upgraded most of the region to a slight risk for damaging winds and large hail along with a 2% risk for tornadoes. It seems the main threat for SVR weather will be in the afternoon with some models showing the potential for an organized line. The threat for showers and thunderstorms drops off Sunday evening into early Monday as the upper trough axis starts shifting eastward out of the region. The upper level trough is forecast to shift off-shore by Monday. The region will become positioned between a ridge over the midwestern US and the exiting trough to the east. The chances for showers drop off Monday morning but an upper level jet may nose into the region late Monday morning and into early Monday afternoon bringing additional. l chances for showers. A brief dry period looks likely Monday afternoon as ridging slowly builds in from the west. As the ridge shifts closer to the region Monday evening, the models have been pretty consistent with a potential strong shortwave passing over the ridge and dropping down into the region late Monday into Tuesday. Models have CAPE increasing to over 1500 j/kg Monday evening with shear values potentially over 40 knots. The combination of the shortwave dropping into the region late Monday evening along with a fairly unstable and sheared environment may lead to a threat for MCS feature passing through our region sometime early Tuesday into Tuesday afternoon. Models have been consistent with a MCS forming upstream and dropping into our region late Monday evening. It seems the main threat from the MCS for our region will be more on Tuesday vs Monday evening but there remains some uncertainty on the timing and position of the MCS at this time. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... The middle of next week looks rather unsettled as multiple disturbances cross the region in northwest flow. Ridging will be building to our southwest resulting in an uptick in heat and humidity. The magnitude of the heat will be predicated upon the strength of the ridge and the position of a stalled front. Many deterministic models since 00z last night have honed in on an MCS crossing the region Tuesday. Ensemble scatter plots even show a smattering of surface lows tracking NW to SE across area during this time. If an MCS forms, the steering flow and instability gradient around the periphery of the ridge would likely direct any such complex from the lower Great Lakes to the northern Mid-Atlantic. As is often the case with these setups, the potential ceiling for severe weather is elevated, but conditional on if the system forms, and its exact track and evolution on the storm scale thereafter. The ridge will continue to build Wednesday before beginning to break down Thursday. Anomalously warm mid-level temperatures and a lack of synoptic forcing lowers confidence in coverage of thunderstorms. Showers and thunderstorms would most likely form as a result of terrain or bay/river breeze circulations during or shortly after peak heating each day. Given the amount of instability present, strong to locally severe downburst winds or hail would be possible. A cold front looks to approach the region late Thursday, crossing the region either Thursday night or Friday. Depending on the timing of the front, there may be another relative uptick in thunderstorm and severe weather potential late in the week. Thursday currently looks like the hottest day of the Long Term, with a backdoor front possibly keeping temperatures several degrees lower Tuesday and Wednesday. Heat indices near 100 F are possible Thursday. Clearing and cooling are likely to start next weekend. && .AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... Showers will exit the MTN/BWI terminals over the next few hours with a brief chance for MVFR restrictions as the rain ends. VFR conditions should continue through early this evening for most terminals. Breaking up of clouds has occurred over central VA which has led to cloud decks becoming scattered over the CHO terminals. Scattered clouds may briefly build into the DC terminals late this afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms may affect the CHO terminal this afternoon which may lead to some brief restrictions and gusty winds. MVFR to IFR ceilings should return to all terminals late this evening and into Sunday. Showers will increase on Sunday with a chance for thunderstorms at all terminals during the afternoon periods. Winds will remain light mainly out of the northwest today but are expected to become southerly on Sunday. Thunderstorms will have the potential to be SVR and produce damaging and large hail on Sunday for all terminals. VFR conditions should return for Monday with light west to northwesterly winds. A Mesoscale convective system may impact all terminals late Monday evening but there remains uncertainty on the timing at this time. Showers and thunderstorms are possible Tuesday and could be numerous. Generally more scattered convection is possible Wednesday. Any thunderstorms could produce gusty winds, hail, and brief IFR restrictions as well as LLWS. Otherwise, mainly VFR conditions are expected with NE flow becoming SE generally 10 kts or less outside of stronger convection. && .MARINE... Showers should exit the northern Chesapeake Bay over the next few hours. Strong storms may affect the lower Tidal potomac and our lower Chesapeake Bay zones this evening bringing a chance for gusty winds and small hail. The threat for showers and thunderstorms increases for Sunday for all of our waters. Some storms will have the potential to produce strong winds and large hail. Southerly channeling winds on Sunday may require Small Craft Advisories. SubSCA conditions should return for Monday. Showers and strong thunderstorms are possible Tuesday, with perhaps more relatively scattered activity Wednesday. Thunderstorms could produce gusty winds, hail, and locally higher winds and waves. Otherwise, Small Craft Advisory conditions are possible in SE flow Wednesday afternoon and night. && .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING... Tides were running about 0.3 to 0.7 feet above normal as of early Saturday afternoon. S/SE flow developing tonight and persisting through Sunday evening is forecast to cause anomalies to increase several tenths of a foot. This may be enough to result in near minor flooding along vulnerable shoreline through the end of the weekend. && .LWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... DC...None. MD...None. VA...None. WV...None.
