Short Range Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 455 PM EDT Wed Jun 25 2014 Valid 00Z Thu Jun 26 2014 - 00Z Sat Jun 28 2014 ***Showers and thunderstorms for the Central U.S.*** ***Showers for the Pacific Northwest and New England*** A slow moving cold front approaching the East Coast on Wednesday night will deliver a round of scattered showers and storms from the coastal Carolinas to New England. The greatest concentration of rainfall will likely be confined from New York to Maine where the best forcing will be found. Lower humidity is expected to arrive behind the front for Thursday, while temperatures are not expected to fall that much. Out West, a building upper level trough will send a cold front southward through the central Rockies and result in the development of isolated to scattered showers and storms. Moisture flowing in from the Pacific will also help generate showers for parts of Oregon and Washington to close out the week. Ahead of this feature across the western High Plains, isolated severe storms will be possible as moisture and instability are advected northward.
