Uh oh .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Early morning RAP and observations analysis shows a stalled frontal boundary draped along the PA/MD border, stretching westward across the OH Valley. This region and the Mid-Atlantic are sandwiched between the Bermuda High (which is well west of its normal climo position in the western Atlantic) and a weaker surface high over the Upper Great Lakes. Abundant high level clouds this morning are expected to persist all day, with building low level clouds once mixing starts shortly after sunrise. This is going to keep highs lower today, mainly in the low to mid 80s. Peak heat indices reach the mid to upper 90s in Central VA. Southerly flow into the stalled boundary continues to advect deep tropical moisture into the region, so expect PWATs to jump well over 2" once again this afternoon. Aloft, a well timed shortwave trough looks to move across our area during peak heating and the main convective time window this afternoon to early evening. Modest deep- layer westerly shear around 30 knots will be enough to support organized deep convection, especially over the Shenandoah Valley and Central VA. More than enough instability is going to be present in this hot and humid airmass, with SBCAPE values of 1000-2000 J/kg. This is where SPC has a Slight Risk (level 2 of 5) for severe storms today, with damaging wind gusts as the main threat. The threat for thunderstorms really drops off quickly north/east of the Potomac River, with the Baltimore Metro to NE MD likely to stay clear for the most part today. The main threat is going to be flash flooding, which could be very significant in parts of the Shenandoah Valley. The tropical airmass will easily support rainfall rates of 1-2+" in 30 minutes, with hourly rainfall rates of 3-4" possible in the heaviest thunderstorms. Any area that sees either multiple rounds or training thunderstorms is likely to experience some flooding. Particularly worrying is the RRFS ensembles showing up to 40pct chance of seeing 100yr RI rainfall amounts (which equates to roughly 5" or more of rain) in the central Shenandoah Valley. The HREF max QPF also indicates the high-end potential of 4-7" of rain. Now these extreme amounts won`t be widespread and might not occur, but the potential is definitely there for worst-case scenario flash flooding. As a result, a Moderate Risk of flash flooding has been coordinated with WPC for the Central Shenandoah Valley, Blue Ridge Mountains, and portions of the Central VA Piedmont. Elsewhere, a Slight Risk of flash flooding extends north/east to around the Potomac River. A (Flash) Flood Watch has been issued. Scattered showers and thunderstorms could linger late into the evening. Some CAMs indicate outflow boundaries generating additional convection into the DC Metro and Southern MD late into the evening. Muggy conditions continue tonight as temps settle in the upper 60s to mid 70s. Low clouds and patchy fog are possible late tonight.

It looked good until the storms to the west of it nommed it
