Short Range Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 401 PM EDT Sun Jun 03 2018 Valid 00Z Mon Jun 04 2018 - 00Z Wed Jun 06 2018 ...Severe thunderstorms possible across portions of New Mexico today... ...One more day of wet weather and possible heavy rainfall for the Mid-Atlantic... ...Above normal and close to record breaking temperatures will continue for portions of the southern Plains to the Southeast... Showers and thunderstorms will continue today along a cold front from the Ohio Valley to the Deep South, with a marginal threat for severe weather and heavy rainfall. Organized rainfall should move into the Northeast by Monday as the associated upper level system rotates across the region. On the western edge of this front, return moisture into the southern Rockies will interact with upper level energy scooting eastward into the Four Corners region. Numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop today as a result with heavy rainfall and severe weather possible. The Storm Prediction Center has highlighted portions of New Mexico within a slight risk. Much of the Mid-Atlantic will have to endure one more day of wet weather as an upper level low meanders across the region within an incredibly moist atmosphere. Numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected, with heavy rainfall possible. Although the flash flood threat is lower than previous days, isolated flash flooding cannot be ruled out given the already very saturated soils. As such, there is a marginal to slight risk shown on the WPC Day 1 excessive rainfall graphic. By Monday, the upper level low should finally move offshore with much dryer conditions expected to start the new work week. As for temperatures across the country, locations from the far southern Plains to the Southeast will continue to experience above normal temperatures underneath stubborn ridging in the upper levels. Across deep south Texas, afternoon highs could be in the upper 90s to low 100s, which would certainly approach daily records. Very warm overnight temperatures in the 70s are also expected from south Texas and points eastward, which could approach or break record overnight high minimums for a handful of locations. Elsewhere, much of the western U.S. will also see above normal temperatures with building upper level ridging, but colder than average temperatures, on the order of 5 to 15 degrees below normal, will continue Sunday and Monday for much of the Upper Midwest to the Northeast.
