https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md1344.html Mesoscale Discussion 1344 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1036 AM CDT Wed Jun 18 2025 Areas affected...parts of the Mid-Atlantic States Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 181536Z - 181730Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...The threat for damaging winds should increase this afternoon as isolated to scattered thunderstorms form off parts of the Blue Ridge towards coastal New Jersey and Delaware. Area is being monitored for a possible Severe Thunderstorm Watch with uncertainty on overall coverage/intensity for severe gusts. An upgrade to Slight Risk is likely with the 1630Z Day 1 Outlook. DISCUSSION...Initial low-topped convection has been slowly bubbling across far northern VA and the eastern WV Panhandle. Airmass immediately downstream appears uncapped per mesoanalysis and modified 12Z soundings, where surface temperatures have warmed into the low to mid 80s. 12Z guidance is consistent in suggesting isolated to scattered thunderstorms developing within a region of enhanced 700-500 mb west-southwesterlies. This should provide sufficient speed shear for a few transient cells with mid-level rotation. With poor mid-level lapse rates, hail magnitudes should remain small. But if stratus across the northern Chesapeake/Delaware Bays vicinity can break up this afternoon, a greater than isolated damaging wind threat may be realized. ..Grams/Hart.. 06/18/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

On Monday of next week we will be asking for these days back lol
-
MRGL/MRGL/SLGT the next 3 days. BTW, what do you consider us as? Northern MA or southern MA? Reading the Day 3 morning disco, they were kind of splitting up the areas for best chance of all hazards severe on Thursday. They said Northern Mid-Atlantic had the better chance for all hazards while southern was more a damaging winds threat

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 1011 AM EDT Sat Jun 14 2025 .SYNOPSIS... A stalled frontal boundary will continue to oscillate over the region through the weekend bringing increased chances for showers and thunderstorms. Thunderstorm activity will be tied to the afternoon and evening hours with flash flooding and locally damaging winds as the primary threats. The front lifts north as a warm front Tuesday into Wednesday with a strong cold front expected to cross late next week. Temperatures will remain at or above average through the period. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... A stationary front is currently positioned over the northern DC metro. This boundary will become the focus for the development of heavy showers and thunderstorms late this afternoon and into this evening. Based on morning HiRes guidance, we have expanded the Flood Watch for flash flooding to the NE to include parts of the Baltimore metro along with parts of northern MD and eastern panhandle of WV. The environment this afternoon and into afternoon will be favorable for efficient rainfall with PW`s approaching 2 inches this afternoon and saturated through much atmospheric column. This environment will be favorable for hourly rain rates between 2 to 4 inches being possible with instantaneous rain rates approaching 6 inches per hour possible.

Some thunderstorms will contain heavy rainfall, with rainfall amounts around 1 to 3 inches possible within an hour or two. Storms may also train over the same areas, causing the possibility for locally higher amounts around 4 to 5 inches of rain within a few hours. Heavy rainfall in a short period of time combining with already saturated soils means that creeks and streams may rapidly rise out of their banks along with the potential for flash flooding in urban areas. - Please visit www.weather.gov/safety/flood for flood safety and preparedness information

Mesoscale Discussion 1197 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1204 PM CDT Sun Jun 08 2025 Areas affected...portions of VA/MD Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 081704Z - 081830Z Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent SUMMARY...Isolated to widely scattered strong/severe storms are possible through the afternoon. Damaging gusts will be the main hazard but a tornado and sporadic hail also are possible. DISCUSSION...Isolated convection is develop early this afternoon in a weakly unstable airmass in the vicinity of an effective warm front draped across northern VA toward coastal MD. As additional heating occurs over the Blue Ridge, thunderstorm coverage should increase and storms will move across the Piedmont and Chesapeake Bay vicinity through the afternoon. Overall instability and midlevel lapse rates will remain modest. However, effective shear around 30-40 kt will support organized cells. Where steeper low-level lapse rates develop amid stronger heating, strong/severe gusts will be possible. Low-level shear will be somewhat enhanced along the warm front, as is evident in the LWX VWP, which shows a mildly enlarged and favorably curved low-level hodograph. Rotating storms interacting with the warm front could pose a risk for a brief tornado or two. The area is being evaluated for possible watch issuance. ..Leitman/Guyer.. 06/08/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...PHI...AKQ...LWX...RNK...

Hmmm Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 0402 NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 1211 PM EDT Sun Jun 08 2025 Areas affected...Portions of the Central Appalachians and Northern Mid-Atlantic Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely Valid 081610Z - 082210Z SUMMARY...Areas of moderate to heavy rainfall will continue through this afternoon with an expectation that scattered thunderstorms will develop and produce heavier rates. Given the moist and sensitive antecedent conditions, the additional rainfall is likely to result in some runoff problems and flash flooding. DISCUSSION...The midday GOES-E visible satellite imagery along with regional radar data shows areas of moderate to locally heavy rain falling over portions of western and southwest PA down through the MD/WV Panhandles and into northern VA. This rainfall is being driven by the arrival of a shortwave trough from the OH Valley which is promoting a northwest to southeast corridor of isentropic ascent and frontogenetical forcing along and just poleward of a warm front lifting gradually northeastward into the region. Meanwhile, solar insolation is seen taking place farther west across central and northern WV and western VA which is allowing for some CU/TCU development over the higher terrain. Surface-based instability is expected to continue to increase going through the afternoon hours, and with convergent flow along the front and orographic forcing over the higher terrain, there should be the development and gradual expansion of some heavier shower and thunderstorm activity over the next few hours. It should be noted that moist low-level southeast flow is expected to become better established into the Blue Ridge this afternoon as well, and this may yield some locally more concentrated areas of convection in these areas. The environment is pretty moist and the 12Z RAOBs at KPIT and KIAD showed 1.42 inch and 1.62 inch PWs respectfully which are at or just above the 90th percentile of daily climatology. This overall environment should favor at least above average rainfall efficiency across the region and especially with some of the forcing that will be occurring this afternoon in the warm layer of the column. Rainfall rates with the instability driven convective elements this afternoon from southwest PA down through northern VA will likely be quite high and capable of reaching 1.5 to 2 inches/hour. The 12Z CAM guidance suggests that some localized rainfall totals by this evening may reach as high as 2 to 3+ inches where some of the slower moving cells evolve. Given the wet antecedent conditions and high rainfall rates, isolated to scattered areas of flash flooding are likely. Orrison ATTN...WFO...AKQ...CLE...CTP...LWX...PBZ...RLX...

"Multiple rounds of scattered severe thunderstorms look to push across the region this afternoon and evening (between 2-9pm) as a warm front lifts through. The primary threat with storms will be damaging winds and locally heavy rainfall. An isolated tornado or two is possible mainly south & east of DC. Have a way to get warning via phone, tv, or computer. #MDwx #VAwx #WVwx #DCwx" From LWX Facebook page posted an hour ago
