Chasing Opportunity Tomorrow and Over the Weekend

A slow-moving cold front will work its way into the Mid-Atlantic tomorrow, which will trigger severe weather Thursday for most of the Mid-Atlantic. Shear looks decent, LL lapse rates are superb, CAPE is good for the area, there's plenty of moisture, and some UL dynamics will be enough to trigger a good amount of severe weather, including an isolated tornado or two (or five?). I anticipate a good chasing day in Southern PA and Northern MD as storms cluster and form loose lines as they move eastward at 20-35 mph.



As the front stalls out of the region this weekend, a series of disturbances will be passing through in the upcoming week. These disturbances will give the Mid-Atlantic several more looks at severe weather, the first of which will be towards the end of the weekend.
