This forecast period will feature several chances for severe weather, excessive rainfall and even excessive heat. \u00a0This upcoming week we will have a cold front move across the region on Monday, which may produce some severe weather and excessive rainfall on Monday. \u00a0Then weather dries out and turns hot and humid Wednesday into Friday. \u00a0As we get into the longer range, the type of weather pattern we&#8217;ll have is hot and humid airmass with a chance of showers and thunderstorms. \u00a0Looks like any cold fronts that try to move out of Canada and into our region will have a tough time moving through the area. \u00a0This will be a situation where fronts become\u00a0stationary and that may make for some active times. \u00a0So, yep, I think the weather will be active and on the hot and humid side, which will certainly feel more like summer. \u00a0Definitely monitor all NWS official severe weather outlooks and warnings<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">For official outlooks, please check\u00a0out the following links<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">&#8211;

The trigger for this action will be a cold front that will approach the area late Monday. \u00a0Latest indication is that the front will slow a bit as it tries to move through the region Monday night. \u00a0The primary severe weather threat will be damaging winds (60 mph or greater) and large hail (1&#8243; or greater). \u00a0There may be a tornado or two possible. This event will be scattered, so not everyone will be impacted by severe weather. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The other main weather threat is excessive rainfall. \u00a0For this weather threat, I&#8217;m highly confident it will be significant and maybe even major. \u00a0As we saw what happen last week, thunderstorms produced prolific rainfall amounts of 3 to 5 in just a few hours ! Even at one point, the Weather Prediction Center put issued a special forecast for 4 to 8 inches due to the front stalling over the area. \u00a0So, its definitely something to monitor and keep an eye on. This threat looks to kick in Monday afternoon into the night, especially over Eastern PA. Thunderstorms will likely produce 1 to 2 inches in a short period of time, if not more. The one thing we have to watch for and its one the NWS in Mount Holly pointed out in their forecast discussion is thunderstorms may reform over the same area. Last point, as these thunderstorms produce very heavy rainfall, some roads will get flooded and maybe become impassible. \u00a0Please avoid driving areas where they may be flooded. \u00a0Plus, the visibility with the heavy rainfall from the thunderstorms may be very low, so please take your time and perhaps pull over until things improve.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Weather Ensemble Forecast Maps (Click on the hyperlinks below to access maps)<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ezweather.com\/myblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/1_WTAF_5-15-Day_Ensemble_20150607.png\" target=\"_blank\">500mb Anomaly<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ezweather.com\/myblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/2_WTAF_5-15-Day_Ensemble_20150607.png\" target=\"_blank\">Sea Level Pressure Anomaly<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ezweather.com\/myblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/3_WTAF_5-15-Day_Ensemble_20150607.png\" target=\"_blank\">850mb Temperature Anomaly<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ezweather.com\/myblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/4_WTAF_5-15-Day_Ensemble_20150607.png\" target=\"_blank\">5 Day Precipitation Total<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">6 to 10 Day Forecast Period<br \/>\n<\/span>Saturday, June 13th\u00a0through Wednesday, June 17th<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Weather Threat Forecast Tables\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">(Click on the hyperlinks below to access the images below)<\/span><\/span><\/span><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/ezweather.com\/myblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/6_WTAF_5-15-Day_PHL_20150607.png\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Pattern Overview<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ezweather.com\/myblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/7_WTAF_5-15-Day_PHL_20150607.png\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Weather Threat Forecast\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Note: Table Legend:\u00a0<\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ezweather.com\/myblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/WTAF_Legend_ForecastConfidence.png\" target=\"_blank\">Forecaster Confidence\u00a0Level<\/a>,\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><strong>Severity Event Index<\/strong>:\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/ezweather.com\/myblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/WTAF_Legend_Sev_Minor.png\" target=\"_blank\">Minor<\/a>, <a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/ezweather.com\/myblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/WTAF_Legend_Sev_Sig.png\" target=\"_blank\">Significant<\/a>, <a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/ezweather.com\/myblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/WTAF_Legend_Sev_Major.png\" target=\"_blank\">Major<\/a>, <\/span><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/ezweather.com\/myblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/WTAF_Legend_Sev_Extreme.png\" target=\"_blank\">Extreme<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Forecast Discussion<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Basic Pattern Overview<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The model consensus shows\u00a0the jet stream near the US Canada border. \u00a0The 500mb anomaly maps show some flat ridging aloft over most of the US. \u00a0This type of pattern will bring above average temperatures and precipitation. \u00a0This means, the opportunity exists for some severe weather, excessive rainfall and excessive heat.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Weather Threats<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">This forecast period favors three weather threats, which are severe weather, excessive rainfall, and excessive heat. \u00a0My forecast confidence is medium on all three weather threats.
