Valid 302240Z - 310045Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 350 continues. SUMMARY...A local corridor of greater tornado threat is evident in the DC/Baltimore region over the next 1-3 hours. DISCUSSION...A narrow zone of favorably backed surface winds, south of a warm front near the PA/MD border, will be the most favorable corridor for tornadoes over the next 1-3 hours. Local VAD data from KLWX and nearby TDWRs show sufficient SRH for low-level mesocyclone development. A bookend vortex within a linear segment in northern Virginia will continue north-northeast into this favorable zone. Farther east, additional discrete storms will also have some potential to produce a tornado. The primary limiting factors will be modest buoyancy, weak mid-level lapse rates, and limited remaining time for surface heating. ..Wendt.. 05/30/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 350 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 455 PM EDT Fri May 30 2025 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of District Of Columbia Delaware Central and Eastern Maryland Central and Southern New Jersey Southeast Pennsylvania Northern and Eastern Virginia Coastal Waters * Effective this Friday afternoon from 455 PM until Midnight EDT. * Primary threats include... A couple tornadoes possible Scattered damaging wind gusts to 65 mph possible Isolated large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms are forecast to continue to develop late this afternoon and continue through the evening as storms progress from west to east across the Watch. A few supercells are forecast with an attendant risk for a couple of tornadoes, damaging gusts, and isolated large hail. Additional thunderstorm bands may also pose a risk for damaging gusts before all of this activity moves east of the coast. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 90 statute miles east and west of a line from 50 miles east of South Hill VA to 30 miles northwest of Philadelphia PA. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU0).

One of the best written AFD from LWX 26 27 28 032 FXUS61 KLWX 302011 AFDLWX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 411 PM EDT Fri May 30 2025 .SYNOPSIS... Low pressure will track through the area this evening, before departing off to our northeast tomorrow. High pressure will build into the area on Sunday, and remain in control over the area through much of the upcoming week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Synoptic overview: Current water vapor imagery shows a vigorous upper low centered off to our west over OH/WV. Moisture continues to stream northward into the area at in advance of this disturbance. Further to the west, a prominent mid-level dry slot is wrapping into the system from the southwest, extending from the Tennessee Valley into West Virginia. A broken, disorganized zone of showers is ongoing within the moist advection regime at low to mid levels, and currently extends from the central Virginia Piedmont northwestward to western Maryland. While some intensification of this activity can`t be ruled out, the expectation is for it to remain just showers. Further west, a more intense band of showers and thunderstorms has developed within the mid-level dry slot, and extends northward from southwest Virginia into central West Virginia. This area of storms is expected to intensify further as it tracks eastward into our area later this afternoon into this evening. As we move forward in time, the entire system will continue to gradually translate eastward. In any given location, on and off showers will be possible for a few hours, before a more focused zone of showers and thunderstorms passes through during a 1-2 hour window. Those stronger storms will reach far western portions of the forecast area over the next 1-2 hours, the Blue Ridge by around 5-7 PM, and then the I-95 corridor around 7-10 PM. These storms will produce the greatest threat for severe thunderstorms, and may also result in some isolated instances of flash flooding. Later tonight a surface low associated with the system will start to deepen overhead as it tracks along a frontal boundary which will extend east-northeastward across northern MD and southern PA. As this occurs, a secondary deformation driven area of precipitation will develop on the backside of the low. This may lead to an additional 2-4 hour period of rain later tonight, with embedded moderate to heavy rain. This activity should be strongest in the vicinity of the front across northern Maryland. An overview of various weather hazards follows... Flash Flooding: There has a been a pronounced northwestward trend in the track of the surface low and the resultant axis of anticipated heaviest rainfall over the past 12-24 hours. While there is still a non-zero chance for flooding, the magnitude of the threat for flooding locally appears to be shifting northward and trending downward in magnitude. All locations should experience a brief period of heavy rainfall in association with the thunderstorms in the north- south oriented band currently over West Virginia. Given recent heavy rainfall, it won`t take much to cause flooding issues. 1 hour Flash Flood guidance is actually below one inch across much of the area, and under 1.5 inches over the vast majority of the forecast area. While the trend has been downward in expected rainfall totals, even brief periods of heavy rainfall may lead to isolated instances of flooding as the storms move through. Any supercells could locally enhance rainfall rates beyond what one might expect with PWATs around 1.5 inches. The second round of rainfall later tonight should be most intense across northern Maryland, where the overall threat for flooding will be maximized. Overall, totals are expected to be around 1-3 inches to north of I-70, with localized higher totals in excess of 3 inches. Further south, totals may average less than one inch, but localized higher totals that could cause flash flooding issues may still be possible. A Flood Watch for flash flooding remains in effect for the entire area through tonight. Severe Thunderstorms: Model soundings show an environment characterized by deep moisture, with nearly saturated profiles. MLCAPE is expected to increase to around 1000-1500 J/kg across much of the area over the next few hours. Deep layer shear in also increasing from the south and west, with effective bulk shear anticipated to increase to around 40-60 knots. Low-level shear on the other hand is much weaker, with only around 10-20 knots of southerly flow at 850 hPa. Strong deep layer shear should result in the development of supercells. In terms of individual threats, damaging wind potential may be a bit lower than one might expect with supercells around. DCAPE is very low (around 200-400 J/kg), suggesting that downburst potential is low. Low-level lapse rates aren`t overly impressive either (around 7.5 C/km), and the background low-level wind field is on the weaker side. While a few isolated instances of damaging winds may be possible, it doesn`t appear to be an overly impressive setup for damaging winds. It`s also worth noting that with saturated soils, it likely won`t take much to bring down trees. With supercells around, a few large hail reports can`t be ruled out, but the environment doesn`t appear to be the most favorable for large hail either. Profiles are saturated, a large portion of the CAPE is located below the freezing level, and mid-level lapse rates are poor, each of which work against efficient hail production. The presence of supercells and the strong updrafts they produce would be a favorable aspect for hail production. The tornado threat is a bit more interesting. Moist profiles with low LCLs, a supercellular mode, and ample 0-3 km CAPE (which will lead to efficient stretching and tilting of environmental vorticity) are factors that would favor the development of tornadoes. On the other hand, low level shear and resultant SRH are both on the weaker side, which limits the amount of environmental vorticity present to stretched into the vertical. A few tornadoes appear possible, but at the same time it also doesn`t look like an environment conducive for the development of stronger tornadoes. A Tornado Watch is currently in effect for western portions of the forecast area, and much of the rest of the area remains in a Slight Risk for severe thunderstorms from SPC. Another potential threat worth mentioning is increasing synoptic winds within northwesterly flow on the backside of the low later tonight. Model soundings show around 40-50 knots of flow developing just above the surface. While most of this wind likely won`t make it down to the surface, gusts of 20-30 knots may be possible later tonight, and some localized higher gusts can`t be ruled out.
