Discussion...Mesoscale convective system (MCS) progressing over Pennsylvania will continue to move ESE over a low amplitude trough extending up the Eastern Seaboard. Gulf-sourced moisture, with PW of 1.5" (2 sigma over normal) spreading up from the Southeast is riding over a warm front extending from southern PA through the Delaware Bay. Instability is sufficient (around 1000 J/kg) along the frontal boundary with a notable decrease below 500 J/kg over central New Jersey which is directly downstream of the activity. However, upscale growth is seen in IR imagery with continued cooling in the core of the system over east-central PA. Hourly CAMs (HRRR and RRFS) have struggled with intensity and timing of this system. However, given the sensitivity of the large urbanized areas downstream of the MCS and history of leading cells adding to rainfall impacts, there is a localized flash flood risk through mid-afternoon. Additional risk for heavy rain in the Mid-Atlantic later this afternoon and evening will continue to be monitored.
