DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1...LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO PASS THROUGH THE
REGION. ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING AND FLASH FLOODING ARE LIKELY FOR
TUESDAY.
THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT FOR
PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY, THE EASTERN SHORES OF
MARYLAND, AND DELAWARE.
FOR TUESDAY, THE BIG CHANGE IN THE FORECAST IS THAT THE SYSTEM
NOW LOOKS TO GET HUNG UP OVER THE AREA WITH THE LATEST
INDICATIONS ACTUALLY BEING FOR A NEW LOW TO DEVELOP NEAR NEAR
DELMARVA. THIS WILL OCCUR AS ANOTHER PIECE OF ENERGY MOVES
AROUND THE BASE OF THE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE EAST. THIS WILL
RESULT IN MORE ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND STORMS THAT COULD ONCE
AGAIN BE ON THE HEAVIER SIDE BY THE AFTERNOON. NEAR THE WARM
SECTOR OVER SOUTHERN DELMARVA, WE CAN'T RULE OUT SOME STORMS
BECOMING SEVERE AND THE SPC NOW HAS A MARGINAL RISK FOR SEVERE
STORMS JUST GETTING INTO SUSSEX COUNTY DELAWARE.
LOW PRESSURE WITH IT'S ASSOCIATED SHOWERS/STORMS SHOULD FINALLY
MOVE OUT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.
KEY MESSAGE 2...ANOTHER COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH THE
REGION LATE THIS WEEK, BRINGING MORE CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
STORMS.
ANOTHER COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH OUR REGION LATE IN
THE WEEK (LIKELY CROSSING THROUGH OUR REGION FRIDAY INTO
SATURDAY). MORE SHOWERS/STORMS ARE LIKELY BEGINNING AS EARLY AS
LATE DAY THURSDAY AND THEN CONTINUING FRIDAY. SOUTHWESTERLY
FLOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT SHOULD ALLOW FOR PLENTY OF MOISTURE
ADVECTION AHEAD OF THE RAIN CHANCES. HOWEVER WITH THE BEST
FORCING MORE CENTERED NORTH OF THE REGION, THAT COULD LIMIT HOW
WIDESPREAD SIGNIFICANT RAIN IS WITH THIS EVENT. AS FOR WHAT
HAZARDS TO EXPECT WITH THIS EVENT, THAT WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT
ON THE TIMING OF THE SHOWERS AND STORMS, WHICH IS STILL
UNCERTAIN.
THE FRONT MAY LINGER NEARBY NEXT WEEKEND AND IF THIS OCCURS IT
WOULD KEEP CHANCES FOR SHOWER/STORMS GOING, ESPECIALLY IN THE
AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS. THERE IS UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THIS
THOUGH.
