Afternoon AFD from LWX mentioned it DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1...Severe thunderstorms are possible through this evening, along with a local flash flood risk. MCV over central PA and cold front approaching from NW PA (and general height falls within the upper trough) will serve as forcing to continue the development of widespread showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. Shear will be sufficient for supercells, but cluster and bowing segments may eventually dominate, presenting a risk of damaging winds. Discrete storms will have potential for hail as well. A tornado threat may evolve later this afternoon/early evening as a low level jet pivots into the area and the trough takes on a negative tilt. The axis of storms will likely be closer to the I-95 corridor by this time, where winds could also be backed a little more closer to the bay. At the moment, this threat appears a little more isolated and uncertain, but discussion was had with SPC that some areas could be upgraded to a Tornado Watch should discrete storm modes dominate. The forcing features listed above could also lead to some upscale growth or training as the storms get closer to the bay. This might lead to a few instances of flash flooding, especially from Baltimore to the northeast, as precipitable water values approach 2 inches. A Flood Watch remains in effect for this area. Thunderstorms will likely clear off to the east by 10 PM, although there may be a few lingering showers, especially along the Alleghenies.

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 529 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 420 PM EDT Tue Jul 28 2026 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of District Of Columbia Delaware Eastern Maryland Southern New Jersey Southeast Pennsylvania Northeast Virginia Coastal Waters * Effective this Tuesday afternoon and evening from 420 PM until 1000 PM EDT. * Primary threats include... A few tornadoes possible Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely Isolated large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible SUMMARY...Thunderstorms tracking eastward across southeast Pennsylvania and northern Virginia will move through the watch area this afternoon. Damaging winds remain the primary threat. However, supercell storms may result in a few tornadoes. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 65 statute miles east and west of a line from 10 miles south of Patuxent River MD to 25 miles north northeast of Philadelphia PA. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU9). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings.

Morning day 3 discussion from SPC Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0226 AM CDT Sun Jul 26 2026 Valid 281200Z - 291200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE SOUTHERN MID-ATLANTIC INTO THE CAROLINAS AND CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms capable of mainly damaging winds appear possible from the southern Mid-Atlantic into the Carolinas and central and southern Appalachians Tuesday into Tuesday evening. Isolated severe wind gusts may occur in the central High Plains. ...Synopsis... A short-wave trough initially over the lower Great Lakes Tuesday morning is forecast to evolve into a closed low over the Mid-Atlantic. Within the base of that feature, a belt of enhanced mid-level flow will spread from the OH Valley into VA and NC by afternoon. At the surface, an area of low pressure over southwest ON Tuesday morning is expected to reform in the Delmarva by afternoon with a lee trough extending southwest along the Piedmont. Meanwhile, a cold front will advance southeast through the central and southern Appalachians, the southern Mid-Atlantic into the Carolinas. ...Mid-Atlantic into Southern Appalachians... Showers and thunderstorms (some potentially strong) are expected to be ongoing Tuesday morning from the upper OH Valley into the Mid-Atlantic and central Appalachians within a zone of forcing for ascent preceding the short-wave trough. Various 00Z model data indicate deep convection lingering into afternoon from the central Appalachians into the Delmarva and points north, leading to uncertainty in the degree of air mass destabilization in those areas. Where stronger heating can occur, the presence of a moist air mass will contribute to moderate instability by afternoon within a kinematic environment featuring anywhere from 30 to 45 kt of deep-layer shear. Thunderstorms are expected to increase in coverage and intensity during the afternoon preferentially along the cold front and lee trough where sufficient destabilization has occurred. Organized storm modes appear possible, including supercells and bowing structures, with the primary hazards being damaging wind gusts. Some tornado threat could materialize Tuesday afternoon in the Delmarva near the surface low. That threat is conditional on sufficient air mass destabilization and the presence of a supercell mode.

Morning AFD from LWX mentions "ridge rollers" KEY MESSAGE 2...Returning to a summer-like pattern next week. Coming off of the weekend, an upper-level trough begins to dig into the northeastern U.S. This will usher in the potential for organized convection early to mid week. In spite of multiple frontal passages during the period, next week could carry a return to summer-like conditions with heat indices in the mid 90s to near 100 degrees. The key players will be a longstanding upper ridge across the southwestern U.S. into the southern/central Great Plains, a deep upper low near Hudson Bay, and longwave trough over the eastern U.S. While ensemble solutions do not show a more formidable shortwave tracking across the area, the setup certainly lends itself to a more active pattern. A series of "ridge rollers" are likely to cross the northern tier of the country before crossing the Great Lakes and northeastern states. At this juncture, the machine-learning algorithms favor an uptick in convection on Monday into Tuesday. This would present the most likely opportunity for any severe thunderstorms. A progressive pattern aloft will bring a cold front through the region on Tuesday evening/night, with a secondary boundary on its heels. While temperatures remain seasonable in this mid/late week pattern shift, dew points slowly come down to finish out the month of July.
