AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
135 PM EST THU MAR 10 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE
FRONT WILL MOVE OFF THE COAST FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN
FOR THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
UPDATE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 49. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRIMARILY DAMAGING WIND GUSTS
THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING.

CWA REMAINS IN A MOIST STABLE WEDGE OF AIR...WITH A WARM FRONT
STILL SOUTH OF THE CWA AND AN OCCLUDED FRONT BACK INTO WEST
VIRGINIA. LOW CLOUDS AND SOME LIGHT RAIN AND DRIZZLE WILL CONTINUE
INTO EARLY AFTERNOON...HOWEVER THE WARM FRONT SHOULD MAKE
SOMEWHAT OF A NORTHWARD PROGRESS INTO THE CWA LATER THIS
AFTERNOON. IF THIS HAPPENS THERE MAY BE A FEW BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS
/ALTHOUGH LIKELY NOT MANY/...WHICH WOULD SUPPORT WEAK INSTABILITY.
BUT EVEN WITH VIRTUALLY NO INSTABILITY...WIND FIELDS/SHEAR
PROFILES ARE SUCH THAT ORGANIZED LINEAR CONVECTION MAY DEVELOP
LATER THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. WITH THIS...THERE IS A SEVERE
RISK FOR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. MOST AT RISK
AREA IS THE NORTH CENTRAL VA PIEDMONT EAST THROUGH SOUTHERN
MARYLAND. AND OBVIOUSLY A HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLOODING RISK WILL
CONTINUE ACROSS THE CWA...WITH THE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING
BEING THE MAIN WINDOW OF TIME FOR CONCERN...AND FLOOD WATCHES
REMAIN IN EFFECT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/...
THE COLD FRONT WILL PASS MOVE OFF TO OUR NORTHEAST LATE THIS EVENING
INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. HEAVY RAINFALL IS EXPECTED ALONG AND AHEAD
OF THE FRONT THIS EVENING ACROSS THE NORTHEASTERN HALF OF THE CWA.
WILL CONTINUE WITH THE FLOOD WATCH. THE THREAT FOR SEVERE T-STORMS
WILL CONTINUE INTO EARLY THIS EVENING ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE VIRGINIA
PIEDMONT INTO LOWER SOUTHERN MARYLAND.  CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE
BEHIND THE FRONT FROM WEST TO EAST TONIGHT.

UPSLOPE SNOW IS EXPECTED FOR LOCATIONS ALONG AND WEST OF THE
ALLEGHENY FRONT. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY MAY BE WARRANTED FOR THIS
AREA.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE MAJORITY OF THE XCTG WX WL TAKE PLACE TDA AND TNGT. CD FNT WL HV
MOVED OFF THE CST BY FRI MRNG. WINDS WL BE TURNING TO THE NW WHICH WL
BEGIN THE PROCESS OF ALLEVIATING THE CSTL FLD THREAT. WHILE THE
WINDS WL BEGIN THEIR WRLY TURN THIS WON'T BE COMPLETED BY 12Z FRI SO
WE'VE XTND THE CSTL FLD WTCH THRU FRI MRNG. ANOTHER COMPLICATING
FACTOR (ON THE TIDAL PTMC) WL BE THE ADDED FRESHWATER - DPENDING ON
HOW MUCH THE PTMC BASIN RCVS TDA WL GIVE US A BETTER IDEA OF HOW
HIGH THE RVR WL BECOME BLO KEY BRIDGE FRI/SAT.

AFTR THE FLDG/WINTRY WX OF LAST SUN AND TDA BOTH THE FCST STAFF AND
THEP UBLIC WL BE LOOKING FOR A BRK...AND THANKFULLY THAT LOOKS LK
WHAT WL BE RCVD. HEMISPHERIC 500 MB CHART SHOWS FLOW ACROSS THE U.S.
BCMG ZNL FOR MUCH OF THE WK AHD...WHICH SHOULD TRANSLATE INTO HIGH
TEMPS IN THE 50S. THERE COULD E A FEW SHORT WVS IN THE OVERALL
PATTERN TO BRING SOME LGT PCPN TO THE AREA...BUT NO MORE SOAKERS IN
THE WK AHD.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
EXPECT REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON TO OSCILLATE BETWEEN IFR AND
MVFR CONDITIONS. WILL LIKELY LEAN MORE TOWARD IFR BUT CANT RULE
OUT IMPROVED CIGS/VSBYS INTO MVFR BEFORE VSBYS WOULD LOWER AGAIN
INTO IFR IN HEAVY RAINFALL LATER THIS AFTERNOON. MAIN HEAVY
RAINFALL IS MOST LIKELY AT THE HUBS BETWEEN 21-01Z...AND THIS
CORRESPONDS WHEN THERE COULD BE AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM WTIH
GUSTY WINDS. WIND SHIFT OCCURS THIS EVENING BEHIND A COLD FRONT.
LAMP HOLDS ONTO IFR CONDITIONS AFTER THEN...BUT BELIEVE CONDITIONS
WILL IMPROVE SOONER THAN THE LAMP IN THE WAKE OF THE WIND SHIFT.

VFR CONDS XPCTD FROM FRI THRU THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW WK.

&&

.MARINE...
UPDATE TO RAISE GALE OVER MOST OF THE BAY AND LOWER TIDAL POTOMAC.
ALREADY HAVE HAD WINDS AROUND 30 KNOT AND LOCAL MODELS SUGGESTS
WIND NEAR GALES EVEN OUTSIDE OF ANY CONVECTION.

A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH TONIGHT. WILL
REALLY HAVE TO WATCH THE LOWER TIDAL POTOMAC AND UP THE BAY THIS
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING AS SOME LOCAL MODEL GUIDANCE HINTS WE MAY
GET CLOSE TO GALES. WILL KEEP AN EYE ON IT. IN ADDITION...IN ANY
CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS THIS AFTERNOON THERE MAY BE STRONG GUSTY
WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

SCA WL BE IN EFFECT FOR THE LOWER PTMC AND THE CHES BAY THRU MID
FRI AFTN.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
WITH RIVERS HIGHER THAN WHERE WE WERE A WEEK AGO...FLOOD CONDITIONS
PSBL TDA...HENCE FLD WTCH IN EFFECT. 1ST SMALL STREAM/AREAL
FLOODING...THEN LARGER CREEKS/RIVERS WL RISE... WITH SOME OF THE
TRIBUTARIES /SUCH AS SB POTOMAC...OPEQUON... MONOCACY/ LIKELY
REACHING FLOOD STAGE THIS AFTN/EVENING...FINALLY FLOWING INTO THE
MAINSTEM POTOMAC FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

EXPECTED RAINFALL AMOUNTS IN THE 1 TO 3 INCH RANGE. HIGHEST AMTS
XPCTD IN THE I-95 CORRIDOR FM DC TO HAVRE DE GRACE...WITH SOME LOWER
AMOUNTS IN THE POTOMAC HIGHLANDS.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...

THE CHESAPEAKE BAY AND ALONG THE TIDAL POTOMAC RIVER. REMAINDER OF
THE MORNING HIGH TIDE IS NOW EXPECTED TO HIT MODERATE CRITERIA
