Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
1008 AM EDT Sun Jun 26 2022
.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will traverse the area on Monday with high
pressure expected to settle in for the middle portion of the
week. A front will then stall near the Mason-Dixon line over
the Fourth of July weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Increasing low-level moisture combined with strong daytime
heating and sfc convergence along a sfc trof is expected to
result in numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms this
afternoon into tonight. The best chance for any convective
activity would be from the mid-afternoon into the early evening.
The latest 12Z high-resolution guidance shows marked
dissipation toward 00Z as the decaying line approaches the I-95
corridor. This agrees with the idea the activity will be
sufficiently driven by diurnal heating processes. Overall,
guidance have trended faster in spreading mid-level height
falls into the area this afternoon with frontal passage crossing
the area earlier during the day Monday and exiting by evening
if not sooner.
As for today, expect a substantial increase in convective
coverage this afternoon as compared to yesterday largely due to
better moisture, instability, and stronger low-level
convergence. In terms of severe wx potential, shear profiles
remain weak for organized severe convection (as noted in the 12Z
IAD sounding: 0-6 km shear of 14 knots), and the Day 1 and Day
2 Convective Hazard Forecast Max Prob from the 00 UTC HRRR
Neural Network remain very low. Any severe wx occurrences are
likely to be isolated and mainly from downbursts. As for
flooding, the best moisture doesn't arrive until late tonight
and, by then, the loss of instability should limit the intensity
of the storms, and thus, rainfall rates.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
The front exits the area by Monday evening with dry weather
expected Monday night through the middle portion of the week.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A broad region of high heights aloft will reside across the southern
two-thirds of the country for much of the long term period, while
the main belt of westerlies tracks across the northern tier of
states. Flow will, for the most part, be zonal in nature aloft,
with a shortwave passing to our north through the Great
Lakes/Northeast on Wednesday. This disturbance won't do much
beyond producing some passing clouds during the day on
Wednesday. By this weekend, a large upper low will track over
Hudson Bay, encouraging low amplitude troughing over the Great
Lakes. This system will push a cold front southward toward the
region this weekend.
Dry conditions are expected on both Wednesday and Thursday as high
pressure holds strong at the surface. Low-level moisture will start
to increase by later Friday into Saturday, which when coupled with
the approaching front, may prompt the development of afternoon
showers and thunderstorms.
Relatively seasonable temperatures are forecast for both Wednesday
and Thursday, with both temperatures and dewpoints expected to
increase heading into Friday and Saturday. High temperatures on
Friday may reach well into the 90s.
&&
.AVIATION /14Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Showers and scattered thunderstorms are expected this afternoon
into midday Monday. The best chance is between 00Z Mon -12Z
Monday. For now, have included VCTS at the more western
terminals with decreasing confidence as the activity approaches
the I-95 corridor early this evening.
VFR conditions are expected on both Wednesday and Thursday.
&&
.MARINE...
Winds are expected to strengthen this afternoon into tonight
with SCA conditions likely. SCAs have been issued. Additional
SCAs may be necessary Monday night into Tue. SMWs may also be
required tonight with any strong thunderstorms.
Sub-SCA level winds are expected on both Wednesday and Thursday.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Water levels remain slightly elevated with further increases
possible given the southerly warm advection. However, tidal
flooding does not appear likely at this time with the sensitive
locations expected to top out at the Action stage. Winds shift
to northwesterly behind the cold front leading to a reduction in
water levels the second half of Monday into the following day.
