954 AWUS01 KWNH 101818 FFGMPD NJZ000-DEZ000-MDZ000-102218- Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 0637 NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 218 PM EDT Thu Jul 10 2025 Areas affected...Northern Delmarva...Southern NJ Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely Valid 101818Z - 102218Z SUMMARY...Slow-moving and locally training showers and thunderstorms are expected to continue over the next few hours. Additional areas of flash flooding are likely over the next few hours. DISCUSSION...The latest radar imagery shows an axis of slow-moving and locally training showers and thunderstorms impacting portions of the northern Delmarva and southern NJ. The convection has been showing some cooling cloud tops over the last hour and is generally focusing along a surface trough oriented in a west-southwest to east-northeast fashion across the region. Convergent low-level flow along this surface trough coupled with the pooling of a moderately buoyant airmass characterized by MLCAPE values of 1000 to 1500 J/kg should promote some additional expansion of convection at least over the next few hours. The airmass is quite moist too with PWs of 2.0 to 2.25 inches. This environment will favor high rainfall rates of 1.5 to 2.5 inches/hour. The latest HRRR guidance and a couple of the 12Z HREF members are hinting at this axis of convection continuing to locally train over the same area, and suggest some additional rainfall potential of as much as 3 to 4+ inches. Additional areas of flash flooding are likely at least over the next few hours given the rainfall potential and locally sensitive antecendent conditions.
