12z HRRR at super long range aka end of its run is a direct hit with the MCS... pretty impressive UD Helicity swath as well for that far out -

12z NAM drops MCS through SE PA and NE MD at 45-51 hours out... but what is that at 45 and 48 hours on its western flank? -

I've moved on to the MCS threat Monday night into Tuesday morning... and um... the 00z NAM and 06z NAM are very concerning -

2/5/5 on new DAY 2 OTKLK... but disco is interesting ...Midwest into the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic... Neutral to rising mid-level heights are forecast over much of the Midwest into the OH Valley and Mid-Atlantic as an upper ridge builds slowly eastward, and as an upper trough lifts northward into New England and Quebec. There is still a considerable amount of uncertainty with where/if robust thunderstorms may develop Sunday afternoon. A surface front draped from northern IL/IN into OH/PA may serve as a focus for possible convective initiation. Eastern portions of the Midwest into the OH Valley may have a slightly better chance for thunderstorms, as a low-level temperature inversion/cap should be weaker with eastward extent across these regions. Moderate to strong instability will likely be in place along/south of the front Sunday afternoon, as rich low-level moisture characterized by mid/upper 60s to low/mid 70s surface dewpoints will be present. A belt of enhanced west-northwesterly mid-level flow should also be in place on the northern periphery of the upper ridge. Given the degree of deep-layer shear forecast, any thunderstorms that develop could become supercellular and pose an isolated threat for severe hail and damaging wind gusts. Although low-level flow is not expected to be overly strong, it may be sufficient for modest low-level rotation and a brief tornado or two. Have opted to expand the Marginal Risk across the OH Valley into the Mid-Atlantic since there is still large spread among model guidance with placement and coverage of convection Sunday afternoon/evening. If a more focused corridor of severe potential becomes evident, then greater severe probabilities would be needed given the favorable thermodynamic and kinematic environment. -

FWIW, 18z NAM NEST bringing the UD Helicity Swaths across the region Sunday evening -

I think we see a SLGT risk introduced on the morning Day 2 tomorrow for most of the region into PHL CWA -

12z NAM has me intrigued for Sunday evening looking at the soundings... 1500-2000 SBCAPE and MLCAPE ETA -- in fact, decent tornado potential in them too lol... though the hodos aren't exactly large and curved... but would be enough with low LCL heights, decent SRH at both levels (150+), and decent MLCAPE in the 0-3km layer. Supercell potential is near 80% at DCA at 00z MON with EHI around 3 -

Wouldn't mind that look on the 00z EPS out in the future for MCS chances and NW flow event possibilities -

Seems LWX in their afternoon AFD have same idea as you lol... but they do add caveats Behind the weak frontal passage, high pressure is forecast to build over the region as the upper ridge to the west shift eastward toward our region. The weather for the early and middle parts of next week has some uncertainty at this time due to the strength and position of the ridge axis . A strong ridge is forecast to build into parts of our region. Depending on the positioning of the ridge, shortwave energy passing over the ridge and dropping into our region could combine with some modest Shear/instability to produce a potential MCS in the late Monday to Wednesday period. If the ridge shifts overhead, the region will likely remain dry and see an enhanced warming trend. If the ridge is further westward, the region could remain relatively stable but if the ridge is positioned in just right position, we could see shortwave energy pass over the ridge and drop into our region. A combination of a southerly flow at the surface along with a northwest flow aloft could lead to an unstable environment and combine with the lift from the shortwave to bring an organized MCS into our system. We will need to monitor the strength and position of the ridge over the next few days -

@Eskimo Joe @George BM @Kmlwx From this mornings AFD... sounds tasty lol Upper-level high pressure will build over the Tennessee Valley and into the Great Lakes Monday through Wednesday while the upper-level trough slides to our north and east, centering itself over the western Atlantic. A northwest flow aloft is expected in between these systems, and a surface boundary will likely remain stalled out over our area during this time. Warmer conditions are expected due to rising heights, but with the northwest flow aloft and the boundary in place, this may trigger some showers and thunderstorms. Details remain uncertain, but the better chance for storms may be Tuesday and Wednesday. -
