Repeated rounds of backbuilding and training convective cells will likely lead to additional instances of flooding, with the potential for major flash flooding. DISCUSSION...Regional Doppler radars along with recent infrared satellite scans are depicting a steady increase in slow moving convection in the general vicinity of a stalled frontal boundary.=20 The overall environment is quite conducive for additional heavy rainfall in the outlook area with PWs approaching 2 inches per recent SPC mesoanalysis, and mixed layer CAPE generally on the order of 1500-2000 J/kg, mainly in response to anomalous low-mid 70s surface dewpoints advecting northward into the region. The surface to 850 mb flow is generally oriented orthogonal to the stalled front, which is acting as a corridor of enhanced ascent with repeated rounds of back-building cells with high rainfall rates exceeding 1 inch in 20 minutes in some instances. The upper level environment is also quite conducive for deep layer ascent with strong right entrance jet dynamics and resulting divergence at 300 mb.=20 The latest CAM guidance suite is depicting the potential for patchy 3 to 5 inch QPF maxima through 8 pm tonight. The highest rainfall rates are likely to be associated with backbuilding cells close to the front where 2-3 inches may fall within an hour, with the greatest prospects for this generally between the greater Baltimore metro area northeastward to White Plains, New York, where HREF neighborhood probabilities of 3-hourly flash flood guidance exceedance are up to 50%. It is also important to note that parts of this region have experienced over 300% of normal rainfall over the past week, and part of the Delaware River Valley had excessive rainfall yesterday along with parts of interior eastern Pennsylvania. Flash flooding is considered likely owing to both the antecedent conditions and the impressive meteorological environment.
