July 2-3 severe weather and flash flooding

Recommended Posts

Somewhere next week may be worth watching. Euro still likes CAPEday best but GFS has perhaps focused more on Tuesday. GFS has also been hinting at pushing an EML this way.  Tuesday could cap bust I suppose, and shear lags a little on the GFS for now. Wed looks kinda wonky at the sfc on 0z but good shear. ;)

ZCZC SPCSWOD48 ALL

SPC AC 270859

DAY 4-8 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

0359 AM CDT FRI JUN 27 2014

VALID 301200Z - 051200Z

...DISCUSSION...

MEDIUM RANGE MODELS SUGGEST THAT TROUGHING MAY AMPLIFY A BIT WITHIN

A BELT OF SEASONABLY STRONG MID/UPPER WESTERLIES...TO THE SOUTH OF A

CLOSED LOW EXPECTED TO PROGRESS THROUGH THE EASTERN CANADIAN

PROVINCES DURING THE EARLY TO MIDDLE PORTIONS OF NEXT WEEK. ON THE

SOUTHERN/SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF THIS FEATURE...A PLUME OF

ELEVATED MIXED-LAYER AIR MAY ADVECT AS FAR EAST AS THE UPPER OHIO BY

NEXT MONDAY...BEFORE BEING SUPPRESSED WITH REMNANTS PERHAPS

OVERSPREADING PORTIONS OF THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AND CENTRAL/SOUTHERN

APPALACHIANS REGION TUESDAY. GUIDANCE HAS BEEN SUGGESTIVE THAT THIS

REGIME COULD BECOME CONDUCIVE TO THE EVOLUTION OF ORGANIZED

CONVECTIVE CLUSTERS CAPABLE OF GENERATING SEVERE WIND AND HAIL.

HOWEVER...LINGERING UNCERTAINTIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE EVOLUTION OF

CONVECTION EXPECTED ON SUNDAY CONTRIBUTE TO INCREASING UNCERTAINTY

WITH REGARD TO CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL FOR MONDAY ACROSS PORTIONS OF

THE MID MISSOURI INTO MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. AND THIS

UNCERTAINTY GROWS BY DAY EASTWARD AND SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE

OHIO/TENNESSEE VALLEYS INTO MID ATLANTIC COAST.

Front keeps slowing down. Thurs looks as good or better than Wed at this point on both GFS/Euro. Both Tue and Wed have remnant EML over the area. Tue looks more and more fully capped as we close tho. The shear is mostly wretched every day but Wed could be closing in on extreme instability if Euro/GFS are right and Thurs appears to also have plentiful CAPE plus a bit better shear and lowering heights/700mb temps. Fri may not be totally beautiful anymore at this pt though sadly. ;)

I think both Wed and Thur will get slight risked if Euro/GFS are right. Wed has a bit more shear now. Thurs may end up focused 95 and east but it has a decent coupling of CAPE/shear.

00z NAM SBCAPE and MLCAPE or bust for Wed :lol:

 

At 21z WED at KIAD, SBCAPE 5300 and MLCAPE 4100... shear is only 25 kts though

I'd be happy with negotiating slightly lower CAPE and maybe another 5-10kts of shear. But with triggers we should see some nice convection but perhaps pulsey in nature.

...TN VALLEY AND APPALACHIANS INTO THE NORTHEAST...

STRONGEST DAYTIME HEATING AND BOUNDARY LAYER DESTABILIZATION NOW

APPEARS LIKELY TO THE LEE OF THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS...IN ADVANCE

OF THE INITIAL WEAK SURFACE COLD FRONT. DESPITE THE LACK OF STEEPER

MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES...MIXED-LAYER CAPE MAY EXCEED 2000 J/KG ALONG

THE LEE SURFACE TROUGH ACROSS VIRGINIA THROUGH SOUTHEASTERN

PENNSYLVANIA BY PEAK HEATING WEDNESDAY. AN AXIS OF WEAKER...BUT

STILL PERHAPS MODERATELY LARGE CAPE MAY ALSO EXTEND FROM THE EASTERN

SLOPES OF THE ALLEGHENY MOUNTAINS NORTHWARD ACROSS CENTRAL/EASTERN

NEW YORK INTO THE ST. LAWRENCE VALLEY...WHERE INSTABILITY COULD

COINCIDE WITH AT LEAST MODERATELY STRONG MID-LEVEL FLOW.

THESE CONDITIONS SHOULD PROVE FAVORABLE TO CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT

BENEATH BROADLY DIFLUENT AND CYCLONIC MID/UPPER FLOW...WITH

OROGRAPHIC FORCING ALSO SUPPORTING STORM INITIATION. HEAVY

PRECIPITATION LOADING MAY CONTRIBUTE TO POTENTIALLY DAMAGING WIND

GUSTS IN STRONGEST STORMS. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SHEAR ON THE EASTERN

EDGE OF AT LEAST MODEST SOUTHWESTERLY MID-LEVEL FLOW MAY BE

SUFFICIENT TO CONTRIBUTE TO ORGANIZING STORM CLUSTERS THAT COULD

IMPACT THE URBAN CORRIDOR FROM WASHINGTON D.C./BALTIMORE INTO THE

PHILADELPHIA AREA.

Morning sounding not crazy warm at 700mb but GFS still has us +10-+12, NAM has a temporary lowering of temps prob from convection. Looks like it may be firing on a remnant derecho boundary? Can sorta see it on vis sat.

SPC meso has pretty decent area of mid-level lapse rates off to our west, hope we can get some of that to move in this evening

 

Also, looks like 90 degrees is what's needed to start convection... as that is what the ConvT is per the 12z NAM at KIAD

I think they're mainly just hedging as the hi res to bring a few cells into mainly NW parts of the area. If it gets here early enough could get a svr warning or two I'd guess.
