AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
230 AM EST MON FEB 14 2011

.SYNOPSIS...

A COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE REGION TODAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD INTO THE REGION TUESDAY AND MOVE OFFSHORE LATE WEDNESDAY.
SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL BRING UNSEASONABLY WARM AIR INTO THE
REGION LATE IN THE WEEK. A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE
AREA NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TODAY/...

A POTENT AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS THROUGH NEW ENGLAND TODAY
WHILE THE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH OUR
REGION. A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE LOW AND HIGH PRESSURE
OVER THE DEEP SOUTH AND CENTRAL CONUS WILL CAUSE WINDY CONDITIONS.
DESPITE COLD ADVECTION BEHIND THE BOUNDARY...A STRONG DOWNSLOPING
WIND ALONG WITH SUNSHINE WILL CAUSE MAX TEMPS TO BE WELL ABOVE
CLIMO. ALSO WENT A COUPLE DEGREES ABOVE GUIDANCE GIVEN THESE
FACTORS. MAX TEMPS WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 30S ALONG THE ALLEGHENY
FRONT TO THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 60S ACROSS MANY LOCATIONS EAST OF THE
BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS.

A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT...WARM SURFACE TEMPS...COLD ADVECTION
ALOFT AND A DOWNSLOPING WESTERLY FLOW BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WILL
CAUSE A DEEP BOUNDARY LAYER TO DEVELOP LATE THIS MORNING THROUGH
THIS AFTERNOON. WINDY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. A WIND ADVISORY IS IN
EFFECT PRIMARILY FOR THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE BLUE RIDGE
MOUNTAINS AND POTOMAC HIGHLANDS THIS MORNING...AND FOR THE ENTIRE
AREA THIS AFTERNOON FOR WESTERLY WINDS TO GUST AROUND 40-45 KNOTS.

AN UPSLOPE COMPONENT TO THE LOW-LEVEL FLOW ALONG WITH COLD ADVECTION
WILL BRING SOME SHOWERS FOR LOCATIONS ALONG AND WEST OF THE
ALLEGHENY FRONT. THERE WILL BE ENOUGH COLD AIR FOR SNOW TO MIX IN BY
LATE IN THE DAY. LITTLE OR NO ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...

STRONG COLD ADVECTION ALONG WITH A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL
CONTINUE TO BRING WINDY CONDITIONS THIS EVENING. WINDS WILL SLOWLY
DIMINISH OVERNIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS CLOSER TO THE REGION FROM
THE WEST. THE WIND ADVISORY CONTINUES UNTIL 10 PM THIS EVENING.

NOTICEABLY COLDER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVERNIGHT WITH MIN TEMPS
RANGING FROM THE LOWER 20S IN THE POTOMAC HIGHLANDS TO THE LOWER 30S
IN WASHINGTON/BALTIMORE.

UPSLOPE SNOW SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED FOR LOCATIONS ALONG AND WEST OF
THE ALLEGHENY FRONT...ESPECIALLY THIS EVENING. AN INCH OR TWO OF
SNOW IS POSSIBLE ALONG THE RIDGE TOPS.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...

A DRY XTND FCST IS ON TAP FOR THE AREA...WHICH IS NOT ALWAYS SUCH A
GOOD THING (IE. "FIRE WX THREATS IN MID FEB" MAKES ME WONDER WHAT
THE MONTHS AHD WL BRING).

HIGH PRES WL BUILD INTO THE AREA TUE. ONE GOOD THING...ASIDE FM
SUNNY SKIES AND COMFORTABLE TEMPS...IS THAT THE WINDS WON'T BE AS
STRONG TUE AS THEY WL TDA. A CLR NGT W/ LGT WINDS IS IN STORE FOR
TUE NGT W/ THE HIGH OVRHD.

ON WED THAT HIGH MOVES OFFSHORE...AND SRLY WINDS WL PTNLY BRING THE
MID ATLC THE WARMEST DAY SINCE THE 1ST DAYS OF JAN - TEMPS IN THE
MU50S XPCTD.

AREA RMNS IN A GNRL HIGH PRES/WAA PATTERN THRU FRI. TEMPS XPCTD TO
CONT TO CLIMB. ASIDE FM 60 DEG AT BWI ON JAN 2 AREA HAS NOT TOPPED
60 SINCE THE 1ST DAYS OF DEC...AND THAT LOOKS LKLY FOR THE LATTER
HALF OF THIS WK.

IT APPEARS A CD FNT WL REACH THE MID ATLC FRI NGT. IT LOOKS LK
ANOTHER WINDY DAY COULD BE ON TAP FOR NEXT SAT. TEMPS MAY END UP
FALLING DURG THE DAY IN CAA. THE SYSTEM LOOKS TO BE FAIRLY DRY...AND
W/ TEMPS BEGINNING FM SUCH A WARM STARTING PT ANY UPSLOPE PCPN IN
THE HIGHLANDS WL BE OF THE LIQUID VARIETY.

HIGH PRES RETURNS NEXT SAT NGT AND SUN. THIS WL BRING TEMPS BACK
INTO LN AS WE ENTER THE FINAL WK OF FEB.

&&

.AVIATION /TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE TERMINALS.
THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING
WHERE WIND GUSTS AROUND 40 TO 45 KNOTS ARE EXPECTED FROM THE WEST.
WINDS WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH OVERNIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS CLOSER.
HOWEVER...NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS AROUND 25 TO 30 KNOTS ARE STILL
EXPECTED. THE STRONGEST WINDS OVERNIGHT WILL BE ACROSS THE NORTHERN
AND EASTERN TERMINALS.

IN THE XTND NO PROBS FORESEEN FOR FLYING TUE-THU.

&&

.MARINE...

A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THE REST OF THE OVERNIGHT. A
GALE WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR THE WATERS TODAY. THE STRONGEST WINDS
ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON WITH WESTERLY WINDS GUSTING AROUND 40
KNOTS. THE GALE WARNING CONTINUES FOR THE CHESAPEAKE BAY AND LOWER
TIDAL POTOMAC TONIGHT. NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS AROUND 35 KNOTS ARE
EXPECTED. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THE UPPER TIDAL
POTOMAC RIVER. HOWEVER...NORTHWEST WINDS MAY GUST PAST 35 KNOTS FOR
A FEW HOURS THIS EVENING ACROSS THIS AREA AS WELL.

WINDS WL BE COMING DOWN THRU A SCA ON TUE....BCMG LGT TUE NGT. MID
ATLC WL XPRNC WARMING DURG THE 2ND PART OF THE WK...AND IT PSBL THAT
THERE COULD BE SRLY GUSTS ON WED AFTN THAT REACH SCA LVLS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

WESTERLY WINDS WILL BE SUSTAINED AROUND 20 TO 30 MPH LATE THIS
MORNING THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA. RELATIVE
HUMIDITY WILL DROP BELOW 30 PERCENT ACROSS LOWER SOUTHERN MARYLAND
INTO CENTRAL VIRGINIA. FUEL MOISTURE REMAINS LOW ACROSS THE SAME
AREAS DUE TO THE LACK OF A SNOWPACK AND RECENT DRY WEATHER. GIVEN
THE HIGH DEGREE OF CERTAINTY IN STRONG WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE
HUMIDITY. THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO A RED FLAG
WARNING.

THERE IS A CONCERN ABOUT PORTIONS OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA INTO CENTRAL
MARYLAND. AFTERNOON RH LEVELS AROUND 30 PERCENT ARE EXPECTED ALONG
WITH STRONG WINDS. HOWEVER...FUEL MOISTURE MAY BE A LITTLE HIGHER
ACROSS THESE LOCATIONS. WILL COORDINATE WITH STATE AGENCIES ABOUT
FUEL MOISTURE LATER THIS MORNING TO SEE IF THE RED FLAG WARNING
NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED ACROSS THESE AREAS.
