.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
No headlines are expected, but storms today are still capable
of localized flash flooding and damaging winds.
&&
.KEY MESSAGES...
Key Message 1: Scattered thunderstorms this afternoon and evening
will bring the potential for damaging wind gusts and flash
flooding.
Key Message 2: Daily showers and thunderstorms will remain in the
forecast through the beginning of next week.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
Key Message 1: Scattered thunderstorms this afternoon and evening
will bring the potential for damaging wind gusts and flash
flooding.
A frontal boundary stretches from west to east across the
forecast area this morning and remain in the vicinity today.
This boundary, along with an approaching upper wave will provide
enough forcing for scattered afternoon storms to develop.
Although shear remains nearly non existent, a very moist and
unstable airmass in place should support a few strong multicell
clusters capable of producing damaging winds. Flash flooding
remains a concern as well...Precipitable Water values still
around 2" and a potential for training/backbuilding storms will
persist into late this evening. Storms will begin to lessen by
midnight.
Key Message 2: Daily showers and thunderstorms will remain in
the forecast through the beginning of next week.
A quasi-stationary front extending from the Mid-Atlantic to the
Ohio/Tennessee Valleys and roughly westward across the Lower
Mississippi Valley and Southern Plains. This front will be the
focus for daily threat of showers/storms with greatest coverage
from 1400 to 2200 EDT, basically aligned with the peak heating
of the day. Wind fields aloft are forecast to remain weak and
with the front essentially stalling over the area, will have to
contend with a multi-day threat for localized heavy rain and
marginally severe storms.
A more bonafide surface cold front approaching from the Great
Lakes early Friday will trigger increased coverage of showers
and storms for Friday and Saturday, with the front passing south
of the region on Saturday night into Sunday. Temperatures
through the end of the week are expected to remain near normal
for the middle of July, and widespread excessive heat is not
forecast to return, at least for this part of the country. The
ridge of high pressure which brought the heat prior to the 4th
of July is shifting west over the Rockies.
&&
.AVIATION /12Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Some areas of dense fog this morning. This fog will likely
impact some terminals through at least 12Z/8AM. Once fog lifts,
will have mostly VFR across the area.
Afternoon storms possible again today, mainly from 17z through
00z time frame, with the potential of a few lingering beyond
that period. Storms will be capable of very heavy rain and
erratic gusty winds.
In general expect light winds (under 5kts).
Another round of early morning fog again on Thursday.
EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK
Scattered, showers and thunderstorms are forecasted for each
afternoon and evening through the weekend. Heavy downpours,
gusty winds, and sub-VFR conditions are all possible in any of
the stronger storms. Patchy fog is also likely during the
overnight periods, especially where significant rainfall
occurred during the evening before. Any fog will burn off
quickly after 13Z daily.
Potentially drier early next week.
