707 AWUS01 KWNH 010329 FFGMPD NJZ000-PAZ000-DEZ000-MDZ000-WVZ000-010727- Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 0564 NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 1128 PM EDT Mon Jun 30 2025 Areas affected...southern/southeastern Pennsylvania and vicinity Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely Valid 010327Z - 010727Z Summary...Additional flash flood impacts are possible as deep, moist convection migrates from west-southwest to east-northeast across the region. Over time, nocturnal low-level stabilization should result in lesser coverage of storms through 07Z. Discussion...Flash flood potential continues across the discussion area, with significant impacts noted in/near Lancaster County, PA recently. The region remains under the influence of weak mid-level shortwave troughs passing over the region. These troughs were interacting with a very moist, unstable airmass (2+ inch PW values and 1000+ J/kg MLCAPE) to promote scattered to widespread thunderstorm development. Some of these storms were training, with 1-2 inch/hr rain rates falling near Lancaster, Reading, and surrounding locales on top of saturated grounds that have already experienced 2-6 inches of rainfall today. Locally significant flash flood impacts are expected to continue in the short term (through 05-06Z). Over time, nocturnal boundary layer stabilization should result in a decrease in convective coverage across the discussion area. However, low-level flow into the discussion area remains strong (25-30 kts at 850mb) and a pool of 2000+ J/kg MLCAPE resides over Maryland just south of ongoing, strong convection. Mid/upper level fields also aren`t necessarily prohibitive of any redevelopment of convection through the night. Although convective coverage is expected to decrease some over the next 2-4 hours, sensitive areas of southeastern Pennsylvania (especially those that are already experiencing significant flash flood impacts) will need to be monitored carefully for additional heavy rainfall episodes through 07Z/3a EDT.
