Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 334 PM EDT Mon Jun 13 2022 .SYNOPSIS... A weaker front will continue to linger around the Mid-Atlantic region through Wednesday. High pressure builds to the north and south through the week. A number of potential impactful systems may cross the area through midweek. Strong cold front will approach Thursday into Friday. Strong area of high pressure will keep the region mostly dry for the weekend. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/... A front will continue to move further south this afternoon and evening. Strong westerlies have allowed for most of the earlier activity to remain weak in nature. Mid-level lapse rates continue to remain fairly weak for today but with CAPE and favorable shear available, strong to severe thunderstorms may be possible this afternoon into the early evening hours. Most likely area of concern for these storms to happen would be across north-central VA. Main hazards of concern for today would be damaging winds with maybe an isolated instance of large hail. Highs for today will top out in the upper 80s to low 90s. Heat indices in the low to mid 90s are possible through the afternoon mainly for areas along and east of the Blue Ridge Mountains as well as the downsloping areas of the Alleghenies. As the initial popup shower/thunderstorm activity subsides this evening, there should be a lull in precipitation for at least the early part of the overnight hours. This is where things begin to get interesting. There continues to be a number of possible solutions for late tonight and into early Tuesday morning with a potential MCS affecting portions of the area. This is due in part to monitoring the convective activity currently happening across WI/IL/IN/MI. Overnight lows will be in the upper 60s to low 70s. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... Uncertainty continues to linger with respect to late tonight and early Tuesday morning with a potential MCS and how far south it will be able to make it by Tuesday morning. Timing and position of the activity off to the NW will dictate potential impacts for the area. If there is a more southern track as seen in some of the CAMs, then most of the more intense wind/rain would likely miss most of the area. Whereas, if a northern solution is realized there will likely be a more widespread/impactful situation to portions of the area. The latter solution may experience lesser instability as it heads into the NW area. Do think that regardless of how strong the reflectivity field looks, winds will likely overcome any weakening. Guidance has been honing in on a vort track likely through the middle of the CWA later Tuesday morning. Timing wise, the complex system may begin to enter portions of the NW areas by 6z and may not reach the SE areas until 15z. Better MLCAPE will likely be situated along and west of I-81 with better potential for any training/isolated flooding threat in the southwest areas. Most likely hazards will be damaging winds and large hail. This system has the conditional possibility of producing widespread wind damage over a large area, should these showers and storms start to bow out more as they approach the NW areas. The circulation associated with the MCS may also keep some very heavy rain over an area for an extended period of time, thus leading to a conditional flooding threat. Also with the low-level wind field being perpendicular to the mean flow, an isolated quick spinup is possible. One thing that could potentially impact the timing and intensity of the environment could be any potential showers/t-storms ahead of the complex later today and into the early overnight hours. As the potential MCS departs late morning, temperatures will climb back into the upper 80s to low 90s. Some of the downsloping areas may reach heat advisory criteria but confidence is low for now given the possible solutions with the MCS potentially affecting cloud cover potential. Beyond that, drier conditions expected for the remainder of the day on Tuesday. Upper ridging will likely keep conditions dry Wednesday into Wednesday night with temperatures continuing into the upper 80s to low 90s. Heat indices will again be nearing Heat Advisory Criteria but confidence remains low in this potential. Some guidance has hinted at another potential impactful system starting north of the area by late Wednesday night and may bring some strong thunderstorms to the area with accompanying gusty winds. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... A cold front is expected to approach from the Ohio River Valley on Thursday. Timing remains a bit variable and uncertain, but a rather hot, humid and unstable airmass will exist across the Mid-Atlantic ahead of it. At least isolated severe thunderstorms are possible given the instability, but if the front is a little quicker or a pre- frontal trough develops, storms may be more organized. Also, if the front slows down instead, some conditional severe weather threat may persist into Friday. Given the humid airmass in place and somewhat slower steering flow and training potential, flooding is possible as well. After the front clears, much drier weather with more mild temperatures are expected over the weekend into early next week. && .AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... An isolated thunderstorm is possible this afternoon, mainly near CHO through around 23z with maybe a stray shower for the other terminals. Patchy fog may be possible tonight, especially where rainfall occurs. The main concern is a complex of thunderstorms which could arrive from the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley late tonight into Tuesday morning which could contain heavy rain and strong winds. Given high amounts of uncertainty on timing, placement, and whether it will even hold together, will continue to have conservative approach with respect to VCTS potential for the morning hours. Patchy fog possible Tuesday night and Wednesday night (along with low clouds for the latter). Thunderstorm chances are low, but not zero, for Wednesday into Wednesday night. Sub-VFR possible at times in potential TSRA Thu-Fri as a cold front crosses. Winds S becoming NW. && .MARINE... Westerly winds will likely remain lighter through the day. Thunderstorms may be possible across the lower waters later this afternoon and evening before subsiding. A line of strong thunderstorms may reach the waters by Tuesday morning. A front will likely push through the area thereafter and bring SCA conditions Tuesday night into Wednesday. A few showers/thunderstorms are possible Wednesday into Wednesday night, with SCA conditions possible. SMWs are possible with these afternoon/evening rounds. Showers and thunderstorms are possible with a cold front Thursday into Friday. Storms could contain gusty winds, but timing is still a bit uncertain. S flow becomes NW as the front crosses. && .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING... Water levels may be somewhat elevated at sensitive locations and parts of the Upper Chesapeake Bay today. A downward trend will be expected around midweek with a shift in wind direction. && .LWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... DC...None. MD...None. VA...None. WV...None.
