    Maybe some sneaky severe Sunday? MRGL for i95 and west on new SPC Day 2... 5% wind... but 2% TOR in NW VA into C and W MD

    Afternoon/evening disco for Monday was well-written on the threats and possible uncertainties .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... Monday continues to be shaping up to be a potential impactful weather day with increasing confidence for severe thunderstorms in our forecast area. A strong mid-level trough will eject from the Midwest into the Ohio Valley by Monday. The trough is expected to strengthen and become neutral to negatively tilted during the day on Monday. In response, surface low pressure will develop over Southern Michigan and track into Southern Ontario during the day. Models differ on the idea of a prefrontal shortwave ahead of the trough, which may lead to early convection on Monday out ahead of the main trough. This has led to uncertainty regarding the amount of destabilization. Out ahead of the system, the air mass is expected to become very moist as a result of strengthening southerly winds. Most of the guidance shows precipitable water values near or exceeding 2” east of the Blue Ridge with values over 1.75 west of the Blue Ridge. This increasing moisture advection may lead to low-level clouds and precipitation which may also hinder destabilization during the day, resulting in further uncertainty. Despite the uncertainty, with the trough becoming negatively tilted, mid-level flow is expected to increase across the area with most guidance showing bulk shear values from 30-40 knots. East of the Blue Ridge, there is a stronger signal for increased low-level flow, with soundings showing 0-3 km shear on the order of 20-30 knots which bears watching for potential low-level rotation within some storms. Given the strong forcing and the 30-40 Knots of bulk shear, any sunshine in the afternoon may provide ample instability on the order of around 1000-1500 J/kg of MLCAPE to fuel severe thunderstorms capable of damaging winds, large hail, and even a few isolated tornadoes possible. We will continue to monitor this system as it approaches and uncertainty decreases.

    While true, I don't think I've seen LWX in their AFD mention tornado threat 4 days out The potential for severe weather is still there, though. Model soundings indicate around 30-40 knots of deep-layer shear will be present over the area. East of the Blue Ridge, 925mb winds around 35KT or greater are resulting in elongated, curved hodographs in the low-levels. If the atmosphere can destabilize, the 1500-2000+ J/kg of SBCAPE is certainly enough to fuel scattered strong to severe thunderstorms. The main threats look to be damaging wind gusts, large hail, and a couple of tornadoes.

    Afternoon discussion from LWX already talking it up some for Monday On Monday, the aforementioned cold front will approach and move through our area bringing unsettled weather. Confidence continues to increase for severe weather ahead of the frontal passage Monday evening. The most recent guidance continues to indicate bulk shear values between 30-40 knots with CAPE values between 1000-1500 J/kg. Southerly flow ahead of the frontal passage will usher in ample moisture with PWAT values nearing and even exceeding 2 inches along I-95. While the signal for severe weather has persisted for a few days now, uncertainty remains regarding timing due to the system being 5 days away. At this time, damaging winds will likely be the primary threat for Monday. However, large hail and a tornado are possible as well. Isolated instances of flooding are also possible with the moist airmass.We will continue to monitor this system as it approaches.
