.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 137 AM EDT Wed Jul 16 2025
Key Messages:
1. Scattered storms are expected this afternoon into the evening
with strong winds and localized flooding possible in some storms.
2. Hot and humid conditions will continue with highs rising into the
90s and heat index values around 100 degrees.
Discussion:
Currently early this morning, weak flow is in place aloft with broad
ridging and embedded shortwaves across much of the eastern U.S. A
shortwave is noted in the Great Plains with convection ongoing. A
weak tropical disturbance is also expected to move along the
northern Gulf. Overall, the pattern will remain fairly similar to
yesterday with weak flow aloft and hot and humid conditions. MLCAPE
of 1,500 to 2,000 J/kg can be expected again with nearly 0 shear.
This will continue the low-end threat for strong winds and localized
flooding. At the time of this discussion, convection is ongoing
across the mountains, and its coverage could enhance the flooding
threat for those areas today. However, many of the CAMs are limited
with coverage this afternoon and evening. Some activity may continue
overnight as we have seen this past night.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 137 AM EDT Wed Jul 16 2025
Key Messages:
1. Daily chances for showers and storms will continue through the
whole period. Strong winds and localized flooding will remain
possible within some storms.
2. Hot and humid conditions will also continue through the period
with highs reaching into the 90s across the Valley and heat index
values around 100 degrees.
Thursday through Saturday
At the start of the period, quasi-zonal flow will be in place with
500mb heights in excess of 5,920m. The weak tropical system
referenced in the short term period is expected to be moving into
southern Louisiana and Mississippi. A frontal boundary will also be
advancing towards the Ohio River Valley. This will continue the
summer pattern with weak flow aloft and similar thermodynamics as in
the short term period. Hot and humid conditions and diurnal
convection can be expected to continue. Better moisture (PWATs near
2 inches) will move into our area late in the week as the tropical
system dissipates and progresses northward. The front is likely to
weaken as it settles near the Ohio River Valley on Friday, which,
combined with increased moisture, will make the case for better
convective coverage. The frontal boundary will weaken on Saturday,
but elevated convective coverage can be expected due to remaining
impressive moisture. As in recent days, localized flooding and
isolated strong storms will remain possible.
Sunday through Tuesday
Sunday into early next week, general ridging is expected to prevail
across the eastern U.S. with some variations in the exact pattern
seen locally. Some sources are more aggressive with ridging
expanding from the south while others suggest increasing shortwaves.
Regardless, 500mb heights will remain above 5,900m, along with
abundant moisture in the area to support continued convection. Hot
and humid conditions will also persist, but the current data
suggests the region to remain below advisory criteria and in line
with typical July heat.

(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 507 AM EDT Wed Jul 16 2025
Will see scattered showers and storms around again especially this
afternoon/evening, and will include prob30 groups all sites
during time of highest probability. Outside of any convection,
will have a VFR forecast for the period all sites. However, if
rain occurs at any site this afternoon or evening the chance for
fog/low cigs will be enhanced late in the period.
