*looks at the front* i don't mind the rain, we need that... I don't need 40s in Aprii... From the morning LWX AFD. KEY MESSAGE 3...A frontal passage midway through next week will have potential to bring showers and thunderstorms to the region. Broad ridging is forecast to start breaking down early this week allowing an upper-level trough to progress eastward to the north of the region. Strong high pressure is likely to be anchored over the north-central Atlantic Ocean acting as a block to the east and southeast. A front associated with the trough is forecast to drop into the region from the north/northwest bringing the potential for showers and thunderstorms Wednesday into Thursday. Uncertainty remains high on shower/thunderstorm coverage along with overall rainfall amounts associated with the boundary. Depending on the position and strength of the high over the Atlantic Ocean, the front could become hung up over our region becoming a focus for the continued development of showers and thunderstorms. This solution would bring the most rain to the region, especially if the front stalls over the northern parts of our region. If the high is further offshore and weaker, the front will be able to progress further south leading to less precipitation totals and coverage as well as much cooler temperatures. The large model spread in frontal position is narrowing at least for Thursday, with increasing confidence the front will push to the south. However, it may try to lift back north at some point toward the end of the week. Temperature spread remains large (between 40 and 85 degrees for highs) by the end of the week. The threat for strong to severe thunderstorms with the frontal passage Wednesday may be tempered due to the lack stronger upper-level lift, but there may be enough instability and shear to allow for some stronger/organized thunderstorms.

Get these 30s and 20s WCs outta here

If its going to be 90+ degrees... there better be a chance of storms too If its -10F... better be snowing. -10F and sunny skies can gtfo

Morning day 1 from SPC

Afternoon AFD from LWX Any low clouds or fog should burn off quickly tomorrow morning. Much warmer air will advect into the area tomorrow in southwesterly flow aloft, with 850 hPa temperatures surging to around 14-17 C. Strong daytime heating will lead to deep mixing, enabling temperatures to near record values for late March. Most of the forecast area should climb into the 80s, with some locations potentially even making it into the mid-upper 80s. A strong cold front will start to progress southward across PA during the afternoon hours tomorrow. Showers and storms are expected to develop along the front during the mid-late afternoon hours. Further south, model soundings show signs of capping with a remnant elevated mixed layer moving in aloft. This should help to prevent the development of storms ahead of the front, which will keep conditions dry through nearly all of the day in our forecast area. The storms over PA will likely drift southeastward toward northern Maryland around or shortly after dark. As low- levels stabilize with loss of daytime heating, the trend should be for these storms to gradually weaken as they move into our forecast area after dark. The environment to our north tomorrow across PA looks very favorable for the development of severe thunderstorms, with a CAPE/shear parameter space capable of producing both supercells and bowing segments. If the timing/location of the front were to trend faster/further south, we could get storms in that type of environment prior to stabilization. And even if storms do move in after dark, they could still potentially produce severe hail, even if they`re elevated. Tomorrow is certainly a day to watch for severe thunderstorms, but as it stands now, it may be a near miss for most of the area, with the capping serving as a potential saving grace. As of now, SPC has northern Maryland and most of the eastern panhandle of West Virginia outlooked in a Slight Risk, and the rest of the area outlooked in a Marginal Risk. SPC also has far northwestern portions of the forecast in a sig hail outlook (indicating the potential for 2+" hailstones). That hints at the potential high ceiling for the severity of storms tomorrow, if they maintain their strength southward into our forecast area. As of now, the most likely timing for storms looks to be between 7 PM and Midnight, with remnant showers moving southward along with the cold front through the entire forecast area later during the overnight hours. Winds will shift to out of the northwest behind the cold front on Monday. Conditions will dry out and temperatures will be much cooler (but near normal), with highs for most in the 50s and lower 60s (40s mountains). Winds will gust to around 25-35 mph out of the northwest

Probably to let us know maybe, but they saw we already knew? Just guessing

Maybe someone in his family?

Sun peeking out here now

Dewpoints have reached the lower 60s at DCA and IAD as of 9am

For areas around here, I haven't seen higher probs that I recall

The Force is with me. And I'm a robot

Um... 80/60 tor probs in the watch >95/70 wind probs

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 66 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 855 AM EDT Mon Mar 16 2026 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Central North Carolina Central Virginia * Effective this Monday morning and afternoon from 855 AM until 200 PM EDT. * Primary threats include... Several tornadoes and a couple intense tornadoes likely Widespread damaging winds expected with isolated significant gusts to 85 mph likely Isolated large hail events to 1 inch in diameter possible SUMMARY...A fast-moving line of severe thunderstorms will sweep across the watch area through the morning hours, posing a risk of widespread damaging wind gusts and a few tornadoes. Strong tornadoes are possible. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 60 statute miles east and west of a line from 50 miles east northeast of White Sulphur Springs WV to 35 miles south southwest of Southern Pines NC. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU6).
