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

Warm front must be nearby me... sun and breaks in the clouds here and increasingly humid

Hmmm FXUS61 KLWX 081335 AFDLWX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 935 AM EDT Sun Jun 8 2025 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will slowly settle southward toward the area through today, then meander across the Mid-Atlantic through Monday. A stronger cold front will cross the area on Tuesday night, followed by high pressure Wednesday and Thursday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Next shortwave trough and accompanying area of low pressure will track ewd from eastern Ohio and across Pennsylvania this afternoon providing ample lift for showers and thunderstorms in a warm, humid, and unstable air mass. As of this morning, the wavy stalled front is located generally from Staunton to the Northern Neck. Cloudy and showery conditions continue north of this boundary this morning, with a few embedded heavier showers ongoing in central VA. This activity is expected to slowly diminish by early afternoon as the warm front lifts north into our area. Where the front ultimately stalls will be important for the severe/flood threat. The most unstable airmass is likely to be south of US-50. The early 12Z guidance looks to have the warm front along the Potomac River, possibly some of it stretches up into MD just south of I-70. The greater SRH will be along and east of the boundary, though deep-layer shear of 35-45 knots looks to be plentiful across most of the area. Will be looking to see where these gradients ultimately set up as that will point to the corridor of most likely severe weather.

1300z SPC OTLK continues mention of a few tornadoes ...Mid Atlantic Region... A shortwave trough currently over OH will track eastward today, with large-scale ascent overspreading the Mid-Atlantic states by afternoon. A moist surface air mass is present across much of VA/MD/NC and vicinity with dewpoints in the upper 60s. Persistent clouds and weak mid-level lapse rates will limit destabilization. However, it appears likely that storms will develop off the Blue Ridge by mid afternoon and spread eastward toward the coast. Forecast soundings show sufficient low and deep layer shear for supercell structures capable of damaging wind gusts and perhaps a few tornadoes.

5/5/15 on morning day 1 0600Z outlook from SPC (15 hail in the southern part of the LWX CWA into the Wakefield CWA) ..Portions of the Mid Atlantic... By early afternoon, thunderstorms should increase in both coverage and intensity ahead of a weak surface low and associated weak mid-level impulse. These storms will move into an airmass characterized by mid to upper 70s F temperatures and 70 F dewpoints, overspread by modest mid-level lapse rates (resulting in over 1500 J/kg MLCAPE). Considerable veering with height will support elongated hodographs with appreciable low-level curvature, with multicells and supercells the expected storm mode. Damaging gusts and large hail may accompany the stronger storms. A few tornadoes may occur with any supercells that interact with a baroclinic boundary across eastern VA.

Updated evening AFD from LWX explains reasons for the watch SHORT TERM /MIDNIGHT TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... Evening update: The main forecast change this evening was the issuance of a Flood Watch for flash flooding for portions of the Alleghenies, Potomac Highlands, Shenandoah Valley and Central Virginia from 7 AM to 10 PM tomorrow. Within this corridor, flash flood guidance is very low due to saturated soils and high background streamflow levels following recent rains. East to southeasterly 850 hPa flow to the north of the surface front will also intersect the Blue Ridge and Alleghenies, potentially leading to orographic enhancement of rainfall. A widespread 1 to 2 inches of rainfall is expected across this area, with localized totals up to 5 inches possible. This rain will likely be spread across multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms late tonight through tomorrow evening. For now, the Watch is in effect where wet antecedent conditions and potential terrain enhancements resulted in greater confidence regarding flash flooding potential. The Watch may possibly need to be expanded along the edges at a later time, but decisions for those surrounding areas were deferred to subsequent shifts due to uncertainty in the northeastward extent of the heavier rains and/or higher flash flood guidance values.

A widespread 1 to 2 inches of rainfall appears likely, with localized totals up to around 5 inches possible. Saturated soils and background high streamflow levels may enhance the threat for flooding. - Please visit www.weather.gov/safety/flood for flood safety and preparedness information PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.

Afternoon day 2 disco from SPC ..South to Lower Mid-Atlantic States... Boundary-layer heating is anticipated along the Atlantic Coastal Plain and adjacent Piedmont should support MLCAPE of 1500-2500 J/kg. Multiple embedded MCVs will support at least scattered afternoon storms developing near the higher terrain and spreading east towards the coast. Enhanced mid-level westerlies will support transient/weak updraft rotation and multicell clustering. Scattered damaging winds and isolated severe hail are likely. A couple of tornadoes are also possible in the Lower Mid-Atlantic along the primary differential heating corridor, where low-level shear may be adequate ahead of a central Appalachians MCV.

Hmmm... let's try again tomorrow? 15 wind and 5 tor

Thunder and moderate rain here

Sneaky wind threat on Saturday? Its a MRGL on the new day 2... but its all we've got for now
