Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 321 PM EDT Mon Aug 7 2023 .SYNOPSIS... Scattered to numerous strong to severe thunderstorms are expected today as a strong cold front pushes through the region. High pressure returns behind the front Tuesday into Wednesday with breezy conditions. A warm frontal boundary approaches from the south Thursday into Friday bring additional showers and thunderstorms. Unsettled conditions linger into the weekend. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Based on the thermodynamic and kinematic environments in place, the setup is rather extreme for early August standards. While instability is typically in place for many summer days, the vertical shear is off the charts. The 18Z KIAD sounding being launched is currently showing 40-50 knots of westerly flow in the 700-500 mb layer. This is only continuing to increase the deep layer shear across the area. While cells remain in discrete in nature, all severe hazards are possible through the afternoon hours. Most mid-afternoon convection has been exhibiting supercellular characteristics with bounded weak echo regions (BWER) and developing hook echoes. At this juncture, only a couple rotating wall clouds have been observed. However, given the environment is ripe for rotating thunderstorms, a Tornado Watch is in effect until 9 PM this evening across the entire area. The regional radar imagery shows an expansive cluster of multicells and line segments pushing through West Virginia. Based on the latest radar, satellite, and high-resolution model trends, this upstream activity should evolve into a quasi-linear convective system (QLCS). The downdraft CAPE is very impressive from the Shenandoah Valley eastward with values of around 1,000 to 1,200 J/kg per the 18Z RAP objective analysis. This congealing of the convective complex is where the damaging to locally destructive wind threat emerges late this afternoon into the evening hours. Given an increasing low-level jet around dark, the increasing 0-1 km shear will enhance the threat for spin ups along the QLCS. A bulk of the Mid-Atlantic region continues to be in a Moderate risk for severe thunderstorms. Locally, this is something which is only seen a couple times a decade. Given the degree of hazardous weather affecting the region, ensure you have multiple ways to obtain NWS warnings. In case severe weather impacts you, find shelter and utilize the most interior space inside the structure. As always lightning is always a hazard in any thunderstorm. Wait at least 30 minutes until the last sound of thunder before returning outside. The convective threat will push through the DC and Baltimore metros during the evening rush hour before exiting into the Chesapeake Bay by the late evening. Besides the threat for hazardous weather, conditions are hot and humid with high temperatures topping out in the upper 80s to low 90s. Combine these temperatures with dew points in the low/mid 70s yields heat index values of 97 to 101 degrees.- 2,785 replies

SPC in their updated MCD says tor threat should increase as the afternoon/evening goes on across the region Mesoscale Discussion 1888 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0217 PM CDT Mon Aug 07 2023 Areas affected...central into northern Virginia...eastern Maryland...southern into central Pennsylvania Concerning...Tornado Watch 602... Valid 071917Z - 072045Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 602 continues. SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Tornado Watch 602. Large hail and damaging gusts are the main threat in the short-term, but the tornado risk should continue to steadily increase through the afternoon. DISCUSSION...Multiple mature supercells and quasi-linear structures are progressing eastward across the central Appalachians into the Mid Atlantic this afternoon, some with a history of severe hail and damaging gusts. Given the favorable ambient buoyancy/deep-layer shear preceding the ongoing storms, the supercells and quasi-linear structures should maintain intensity, with the large hail/damaging gust threat continuing. At the moment, regional VADs and forecast soundings show hodographs with relatively straight curvature, which may be limiting the current tornado threat to a degree. However, as the mid-level trough continues to approach and shunts the 850 mb southwesterly jet axis eastward, an increase in low-level hodograph length and perhaps curvature should ensue, which would support an increased tornado threat later this afternoon. ..Squitieri.. 08/07/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Sounds like a tornado watch will be coming soon per the MCD just issued for most of you -- https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md1885.html Mesoscale Discussion 1885 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0131 PM CDT Mon Aug 07 2023 Areas affected...portions of far southeast New York into eastern Pennsylvania...eastern Maryland...Delaware...New Jersey Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely Valid 071831Z - 071930Z Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent SUMMARY...The severe threat is increasing across portions of the Mid Atlantic into the Hudson Valley. Several damaging gusts are likely and a couple of tornadoes and instances of large hail are also possible. A WW issuance will be needed soon. DISCUSSION...Clearing skies across the Mid Atlantic into the Hudson Valley are promoting surface temperatures to exceed 80 F amid 70+ F dewpoints. With 6 C/km mid-level lapse rates overspreading the area, SBCAPE/MUCAPE is exceeding 2000 J/kg. As an upper trough and associated stronger west-southwesterly flow aloft continues to overspread the region, 40+ kts of effective bulk shear should result, with elongated hodographs bearing slight low-level curvature (evident via regional VADs and forecast soundings). A mix of supercells and multicells are expected, with some upscale growth into a QLCS likely later this afternoon. Several to potentially numerous damaging gusts are likely, with at least isolated bouts of severe hail possible with the more discrete, longer-lasting supercells. Tornadoes may accompany any of the stronger supercells or leading-line mesovortices. A WW issuance will be needed soon to address the increasing severe threat. ..Squitieri/Guyer.. 08/07/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
