Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of the Ohio Valley, Midwest and the Mid-Atlantic on Monday. ...Synopsis... An amplifying midlevel trough and accompanying jet streak will advance eastward across the Midwest and Great Lakes on Monday. At the same time, a related cold front will overspread the OH Valley through the afternoon. ...Ohio Valley and Midwest... Widely scattered thunderstorms are expected along/ahead of the eastward-moving cold front in the OH Valley, aided by large-scale ascent preceding the midlevel trough. While midlevel lapse rates will be modest over the warm sector, diurnal heating of a moist air mass (lower 70s dewpoints) will still contribute to moderate-strong surface-based buoyancy (highest over the lower OH Valley). Around 30 kt of deep-layer shear and the destabilizing air mass will favor organized multicell clusters capable of producing wind damage through the afternoon. Farther west, large-scale ascent in the left-exit region of the midlevel jet will promote isolated thunderstorms across the Midwest during the afternoon. Sufficient post-frontal moisture beneath steep midlevel lapse rates, and elongated/straight hodographs (30-40 kt of deep-layer shear), will support isolated severe hail in the stronger cells. ...Mid-Atlantic... Despite weak deep-layer flow/shear, a few wet microbursts will be possible east of the Appalachians during the afternoon, where steep low-level lapse rates will develop amid deep/rich tropospheric moisture (PW around 2 inches). ..Weinman.. 06/28/2025 $$
