Updated morning AFD from LWX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 1025 AM EDT Tue Apr 2 2024 .SYNOPSIS... A frontal boundary lingers in the vicinity of the area through mid week. Unsettled weather is expected as multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms impact the region. A series of cold fronts sweep through the area Wednesday and Thursday bringing windy conditions that last through the weekend. High pressure builds overhead Sunday into early next week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... An initial round of showers and a few thunderstorms were exiting NE MD as of mid morning. We are currently watching MCS activity over the OH Valley that looks to move into the area this afternoon. Near-surface stability will remain, but mid- level lapse rates of 6-7 C/km will contribute to MUCAPE of around 500 J/kg. This will result in a threat for isolated thunder and possibly some spotty small hail if individual updrafts are able to maintain enough persistent vigor and tap into the increasing mid-level flow/shear. The severe weather risk should remain very low until nightfall per latest obs/trends, but may increase at least conditionally thereafter as stronger height falls move in. In addition, instances of flooding are appearing increasingly likely across the northern half of the CWA as additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms traverse increasingly saturated soils

When you say low-level warm air, is that related to or correlate with the warm front? Or is it something different?

Morning AFD from LWX on the threats couple of rounds of thunderstorms moves across the area this afternoon and evening, and some of these are likely to be strong to severe. In areas where the CAD remains the severe threat is going to be from elevated storms producing hail. Model soundings indicate around 1000-2000 J/kg of MUCAPE and strong shear will be present, so some of these storms could produce large hail of 1 to 2". SPC has the CAD area in a Marginal Risk for severe storms today. The Slight Risk for severe storms has been expanded slightly eastward along/south of I-66 to the Fredericksburg area, and extends west along US-48 up through western MD. This is where storms pushing in from the OH Valley will have the most favorable environment of surface-based instability, strong shear, and large scale forcing for ascent. Given the cold temperatures aloft and elevated instability present, it is certainly possible a few supercells develop along the I-64 corridor that are capable of producing hail of 2" or greater. A tornado or two cannot be rule out, though that threat is confined to the far southwestern CWA (peak threat around Highland County). After the main severe threat window passes, expect a wet night as widespread showers and scattered thunderstorms continue moving across the area. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... The large cutoff low over the OH Valley slowly pivots eastward toward the Mid-Atlantic. Strong forcing for ascent is going to be present across the region, with widespread showers and embedded thunderstorms ongoing sunrise Wednesday. As the morning progresses, a wave of low pressure will cross east of the Blue Ridge, rapidly deepening as it moves toward southern NJ. A broken line of showers and thunderstorms is likely to develop along/east of US-15, then rapidly push eastward across the area through Wednesday afternoon. Even though instability is low, there will be an incredible amount of shear as the triple point of the surface low crosses the area. In addition to damaging winds, QLCS tornadoes will be a possibility. SPC has upgraded parts of the area to a Slight Risk (level 2 of 5), with a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) for most areas along and east of the Blue Ridge.

Day 2 OTLK out... SLGT risk i95 and east... MGRL i81 to i95... 2/15/15... this is for Wednesday

ay 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0100 PM CDT Mon Apr 01 2024 Valid 021200Z - 031200Z ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS A LARGE PORTION OF OHIO...AND INCLUDING ADJACENT PARTS OF SOUTHEASTERN INDIANA...NORTHERN KENTUCKY...AND WESTERN WEST VIRGINIA... ...SUMMARY... A potentially substantial severe weather outbreak -- possibly including a few significant/long-track tornadoes -- is evident for Tuesday afternoon and evening, with highest probability centered over the Ohio vicinity, and extending southward across the Tennessee Valley. Some severe risk exists as far south as the Gulf Coast, and as far east as western portions of Virginia and the Carolinas. ...Synopsis... While a positively tilted upper trough moves across the central third of the country Tuesday, a more compact/energetic short-wave feature is expected to dig aggressively/quickly southeastward across the Upper Midwest, gradually evolving into a closed low as it does. By Wednesday morning, the deepening low is progged to reside over the Illinois vicinity. At the surface, a low initially over the Missouri vicinity is progged to deepen as the upper system digs southeastward, shifting northeastward across the Midwest through the day, and then occluding northward into Lower Michigan overnight. A cold front associated with the low will sweep across the Mid Mississippi and Lower Ohio Valley through the day, and the Lower Mississippi/Tennessee/Upper Ohio Valleys overnight, crossing central/southern Appalachian Crest late. Meanwhile, a warm sector should expand as far north and east as central and northeast Indiana/northern Ohio/western Pennsylvania, though limited in northward progress to West Virginia/northern Virginia/Maryland by persistent/slow-to-retreat cold-air damming over the Northeast. ...Ohio and Tennessee Valleys... Widespread thunderstorms -- including some degree of all-hazards severe risk -- will likely be spreading rapidly eastward across the Ohio Valley area at the start of the period. This convection should reach the central Appalachians by late morning/midday, but -- though potentially having some impact on destabilization potential across the MDT and ENH risk areas -- should largely shift far enough east to allow warm-sector destabilization to commence. As the surface low deepens and crosses Illinois and eventually moves into Indiana, and the cold front advances across the Mid Mississippi and Lower Ohio Valleys, storm redevelopment is expected to occur during the afternoon. While evolution/storm mode remains somewhat difficult to discern -- in part due to earlier storms -- some mix of cellular and cluster/linear mode is expected to evolve. Given the ample destabilization expected in combination with very strong/veering deep-layer flow, all-hazards severe potential is evident, including very large hail, strong/damaging winds, and several significant tornadoes. The greatest risk, which will include potential for a couple of intense/long-track tornadoes, should begin across Indiana, and the spread across Ohio through the afternoon and evening, potentially reaching as far east as western portions of West Virginia and far western Pennsylvania into the evening. Eastward advance of the risk into central Pennsylvania will likely remain limited, but otherwise threat may spread into western portions of Virginia and the Carolinas late.

Afternoon day 2 update from SPC has MOD risk in Ohio, ENH near W MD and SLGT risk east of i81 corridor

Correct, MOD up for most of OH

FYI re the radar NOUS61 KLWX 011347 FTMLWX MESSAGE DATE: APR 01 2024 13:45:37 THE WSR-88D KLWX IS CURRENTLY OFFLINE AS TECHNICIANS ARE CURRENTLY PERFORMING REQUIRED MAINTENANCE. IT IS EXPECTED TO RETURN TO SERVICE THIS AFTERNOON. && LFR

So no being missed?

SLGT risk for almost all LWX CWA into S PA on Tuesday and Tuesday night

Day 2 MRGL up... 0/5/5 ...Mid to Upper Ohio Valley/Central Appalachians/Mid-Atlantic... An anticyclonic mid-level flow pattern will be in place on Monday across the eastern U.S. At the surface, a quasi-stationary front is forecast to be located from southern Ohio east-southeastward into the Mid-Atlantic. This boundary will likely be a focus for convective development from the daytime hours into the overnight period. Although instability is forecast to remain weak near the boundary, strong deep-layer shear will be in place. This should support an isolated severe threat, potentially persisting for an extended period of time. Hail and isolated damaging gusts will likely be the primary concerns. The severe threat will likely be more isolated with eastward extent, mainly due to more limited low-level moisture content across the Mid-Atlantic.
