-- Changed Discussion --
UPDATE...CANCELLED REMAINDER OF SCA. A FEW HEAVY SHOWERS SLIDING
THRU SRN MD ALONG THE LEE TROUGH AXIS MOVING EWD TOWARD THE COAST.

FROM PREV DISC... CONVECTION MAY CONTINUE WELL INTO THE EVENING
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN REACHES OF THE CWA AS MODELS SHOW A
CONVERGENCE AREA/TROUGH LINGERING ACROSS THIS AREA OVERNIGHT.

MONDAY...A COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE CWA FROM THE
NORTH. DURING PEAK HEATING...THE BOUNDARY LOOKS TO BE LOCATED
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA AND THIS IS WHERE THE
HIGHEST COVERAGE OF CONVECTION MAY OCCUR. BUT WITH THE FRONT
NEARBY AND AFTERNOON INSTABILITY WILL KEEP A CHANCE OF AFTERNOON
THUNDERSTORMS FURTHER NORTH TOWARD THE MASON DIXON LINE.

BIAS CORRECTED MAV/MET WERE CLOSE AND BLENDED FOR MINIMA
TONIGHT...THEN LEANED TOWARD THE WARMER MAV ON MONDAY.

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
THERE IS STILL SOME DISAGREEMENT REGARDING THE POSITION OF THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. THE FRONT COULD BE
STALLED OUT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA DURING THIS
TIME...OR COULD BE FURTHER SOUTH TOWARD THE VIRGINIA/NORTH CAROLINA
BORDER. FAVOR THE FORMER SOLUTION BUT EITHER WAY MODELS SHOW MID-
LEVEL SHORTWAVE ENERGY MOVING THROUGH IN WESTERLIES...AND WILL
CONTINUE A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THIS TIME
HITTING THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA WITH THE HIGHEST POPS.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD HELP TO PUSH THE FRONT FURTHER SOUTH ON
WEDNESDAY...AND SHOULD BE IN CONTROL FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK AND
POSSIBLY INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
TROUGH MOVES THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT. WILL CONTINUE WITH A CHANCE
OF MAINLY AFTERNOON/EVENING THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY AND TUESDAY UNTIL
A COLD FRONT IS PUSHED SOUTH OF THE AREA BY WEDNESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS DROPPING OFF ACROSS THE WATERS...STILL A FEW BREEZES OF THE
BAY W/ THE WEAK SFC TROUGH PASSAGE...BUT WILL ALSO LIKELY DROP
BELOW SCA NEAR SUNSET.

FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER THE AREA MONDAY-TUESDAY WILL KEEP A CHANCE
OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE WATERS...THEN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN
FOR WEDNESDAY.
