Discussion...Radar depicts widespread thunderstorm coverage across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast ahead of an approaching shortwave trough and associated cold front. Throughout the afternoon, training and repeating of these storms along a northeast-southwest axis led to prolific heavy rainfall across the region, with numerous instances of flash flooding reported. Over the last several hours, the most intense cells have propagated southeastward into the instability axis, characterized by 2000-3000 J/kg of MLCAPE and 2-2.3" PWATs according to objective analysis output. This regime should continue through the evening hours, with periods of cell training expected as the steering flow remains quasi-parallel to the synoptic forcing and leading composite outflow. The approaching shortwave trough and strengthening right-entrance region ascent this evening should also favor expanding convective coverage over the next several hours. Recent runs of both the HRRR and RRFS consistently depict swaths of 2-4" through 4-5Z across the highlighted region where cells can train the longest. This should maintain the threat of flash flooding through the evening hours -- some of which could be significant if it can overlap with hard hit areas.
