Short Range Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 355 PM EDT Wed Aug 05 2020 Valid 00Z Thu Aug 06 2020 - 00Z Sat Aug 08 2020 ...Showers and thunderstorms are forecast for the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, with isolated flash flooding possible... ...Severe weather is possible in the High Plains... ...Fire weather is a concern for parts of the West... The weather should be stable across the Northeast for the foreseeable future as post-tropical cyclone Isaias continues to venture further into Canada. The surface boundary associated with the system will produce scattered thunderstorms and potential flash flooding, due to an already saturated surface, for parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast as it drapes itself along the east coast through the short range period. Areas of organized convection may pop up along the aforementioned boundary as it stretches from the Southeast and into the Southern Plains. The Storm Prediction Center issued a Slight Risk of severe weather for a portion of the Central Plains through tonight as a result. Rainfall totals should remain below an inch. Above average temperatures will return to the foothills of the Rockies/High Plains tomorrow and Friday as warm air surges northward behind a pair of warm fronts. High pressure over the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley will lead to an area of below average temperatures to stretch from the Midwest through to the Central/Southern Plains tomorrow and Friday. An Elevated risk of fire weather and Red Flag Warnings are in effect for parts of the Southwest toward the Central Great Basin/Central Rockies through Thursday. The West will experience a cool down tomorrow, with the Pacific Northwest expected to feel particularly cooler temperatures, as a cold front passes through the region tonight. Parts of the Pacific Northwest may experience high temperatures up to 20 degrees below normal tomorrow before the cool Pacific air moderates a bit as it shifts east into the Northern Rockies.
