What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this gale warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Baltimore/Washington wrote its last area forecast discussion before this gale warning went out at Feb 23, 5:34 AM EST, 4 hours 16 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 23, 5:34 AM EST, 4 hours 16 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
534 AM EST THU FEB 23 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL STALL OUT OVER THE REGION TODAY BEFORE
LIFTING NORTH AS A WARM FRONT TONIGHT. LOW PRESSURE AND ITS
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE REGION FRIDAY BEFORE
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS TOWARD THE REGION DURING THE WEEKEND. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AN UPPER-LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL PASS THROUGH THE REGION EARLY THIS
MORNING. ASIDE FROM A FEW SHOWERS OVER THE POTOMAC HIGHLANDS MOST
OTHER LOCATIONS WILL END UP DRY.
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE THROUGH NEW ENGLAND TODAY AND THE
COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO STALL OUT OVER
OUR REGION. THE TEMPERATURE GRADIENT WILL BE WEAK ALONG THE
FRONT AND A DOWNSLOPING WESTERLY FLOW THIS MORNING INTO THIS
AFTERNOON WILL COMBINE WITH SOME SUNSHINE FOR UNUSUALLY WARM
CONDITIONS. WENT A FEW DEGREES ABOVE GUIDANCE DUE TO THE DOWNSLOPING
FLOW. MAX TEMPS WILL RANGE FROM THE LOWER 60S ALONG THE MASON-DIXON
LINE TO THE MID 70S ACROSS CENTRAL VIRGINIA.
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK THROUGH THE MIDWEST THIS AFTERNOON.
AS THE LOW APPROACHES OUR AREA LATE TODAY IT WILL ALLOW FOR SOMEWHAT
STRONGER FORCING ALONG THE STATIONARY BOUNDARY. WARM AND MOIST AIR
WILL BEGIN TO OVERRIDE THE SURFACE COOL AIR NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY
CAUSING ISENTROPIC LIFT TO DEVELOP. A FEW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE THIS
AFTERNOON MAINLY ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL VIRGINIA INTO THE
ALLEGHENY AND POTOMAC HIGHLANDS WHERE THE LIFT WILL BE STRONGER.
EVEN ACROSS THESE AREAS ANY RAINFALL WILL BE LIGHT AND MUCH OF THE
TIME WILL TURN OUT DRY.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/...
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY TONIGHT
CAUSING THE BOUNDARY TO CONTINUE STRENGTHENING. AS THE BOUNDARY
STRENGTHENS IT WILL SLOWLY MOVE NORTH AS A WARM FRONT. WARM AND
MOIST AIR WILL CONTINUE TO OVERRUN THE SURFACE COOL AIR CAUSING
INCREASING AMOUNTS OF ISENTROPIC LIFT. LOW CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED ALONG
AND NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY ALONG WITH THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS. THE
BEST CHANCE FOR SHOWERS WILL BE ACROSS THE ALLEGHENY HIGHLANDS INTO
NORTHERN MARYLAND WHERE ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL BE DEEPEST.
MIN TEMPS WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. IN
FACT...TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY RISE LATE TONIGHT BEHIND THE WARM
FRONT. MIN TEMPS WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 40S IN THE POTOMAC
HIGHLANDS TO THE MID 50S ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE VIRGINIA PIEDMONT.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
ON FRIDAY...SURFACE LOW PRESSURE OVER THE LOWER GREAT LAKES IN THE
MORNING PROPOGATES EWD INTO NEW ENGLAND...DRAGGING A COLD FRONT
ACROSS THE CWA THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS...THEN REACHING CHES BAY BY
EARLY AFTERNOON. ONE SIGNIFICANT DISCREPANCY IN MODEL SOLUTIONS
REMAINS...THAT BEING THE STRENGTH OF THE LOW. 00Z NAM/GFS ARE MUCH
STRONGER WITH A 985MB LOW...WHILE THE 00Z ECMWF INDICATES A LESS
ORGANIZED AND WEAKER LOW...AROUND 995MB. SHOULD THE NAM/GFS
SOLUTION VERIFY...THE PRESSURE GRADIENT COMBINED WITH STEEP LOW
LEVEL LAPSE RATES/STRONG MIXING POTENTIAL WILL BE ENOUGH FOR
POTENTIAL WIND ADVISORY GUSTS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. THE GRADIENT
ASSOC WITH ECMWF IS MUCH WEAKER. AT THIS TIME...COMPROMISED BY
CAPPING WIND GUSTS AT 40KT THROUGH THE DAYTIME HOURS.
IN TERMS OF PRECIPITATION...MODEL CONSENSUS INDICATES MOST MOISTURE
SHOULD BE CONFINED TO ATLANTIC COAST AND AREAS TO THE SOUTH...SO
HELD POPS AT CHANCE OVER MOST OF THE AREA AHEAD OF THE FRONT.
EXCEPTION IS OVER THE POTOMAC HIGHLANDS WHERE LIKELY/CATEGORICAL
POPS EXPECTED DUE TO UPSLOPE ENHANCEMENT.
HIGH TEMPS EXPECTED TO BE WELL ABOVE NORMAL AGAIN...PRIMARILY IN THE
UPPER 60S ALONG AND EAST OF THE I95 CORRIDOR WHERE THERE WILL BE
MORE TIME FOR DIURNAL HEATING AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. OVER WESTERN
PORTIONS OF THE CWA...HIGHS RANGE FROM THE LOW 50S TO LOW 60S.
FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...SURFACE LOW PROGS NE INTO NEW ENGLAND
AND THE MARITIMES. UPPER TROUGH PASSES THROUGH THE REGION SATURDAY
WITH POTENTIAL OF A REINFORCING COLD FRONT. GUSTY WINDS
CONTINUE...THOUGH NOT AS STRONG AS FRIDAY. CONDITIONS CONTINUE TO BE
FAVORABLE FOR UPSLOPE SNOWFALL OVER THE POTOMAC HIGHLANDS. LOWS
FRIDAY NIGHT IN THE 30S...THEN HIGHS SATURDAY GENERALLY IN THE 40S.
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN SAT NIGHT. SUBSIDENCE WILL CAUSE SNOW TO END
OVER THE POTOMAC HIGHLANDS...AND WINDS DIMINISH. HIGH DRIFTS
OFFSHORE MONDAY. COLD FROPA LIKELY EARLY IN THE WEEK...BUT HIGH
PRESSURE OVER THE TENNESSEE VALLEY WILL RESTRICT PRECIP. SLIGHT
CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS OVER SRN ZONES BUT OTHERWISE DRY WX XPCD.
&&
.AVIATION /12Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TODAY. WEST WINDS WILL INCREASE WITH
GUST AROUND 20 KNOTS DURING THE MID AND LATE MORNING HOURS. WINDS
WILL DECREASE AND SHIFT TO THE EAST-SOUTHEAST BY LATE IN THE DAY.
A STATIONARY BOUNDARY OVER THE REGION TODAY WILL SLOWLY DRIFT NORTH
AS A WARM FRONT TONIGHT. ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL INCREASE ALONG AND
NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY TONIGHT. IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT
ALONG WITH THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS.
PRIMARILY VFR FRIDAY WITH A LOW CHANCE OF SHOWER ACTIVITY. GUSTY NW
WINDS DVLP...WITH POTENTIAL FOR 40 KT GUSTS AT DC METRO TERMINALS.
GUSTS CONTINUE FRI NIGHT INTO SAT...BUT NOT QUITE AS STRONG.
VFR SAT NIGHT AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH WINDS PRIMARILY UNDER 10
KT.
&&
.MARINE...
LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS BY WELL TO OUR NORTH THIS MORNING. SOUTHWEST
WINDS EARLY THIS MORNING WILL SHIFT TOWARD THE WEST DURING THE MID
TO LATE MORNING HOURS WITH GUSTS AROUND 20 KNOTS EXPECTED. A SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THE WATERS THIS MORNING.
WINDS WILL DECREASE THIS AFTERNOON AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WEAKENS
ALONG A STATIONARY BOUNDARY. HOWEVER...THE STATIONARY BOUNDARY WILL
STRENGTHEN OVER THE WATERS THIS EVENING BEFORE LIFTING NORTH AS A
WARM FRONT OVERNIGHT. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE TONIGHT. A
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THE MARYLAND PORTION OF THE
CHESAPEAKE BAY AND LOWER TIDAL POTOMAC RIVER LATE TONIGHT. EASTERLY
WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL GUST AROUND 20 KNOTS AND SOUTHWEST
WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO GUST AROUND 20 KNOTS.
SCA ISSUED FOR FRIDAY WITH GUSTS AROUND 30 KT EXPECTED.
POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR HIGHER GUSTS...SO GALE WARNING MAY BE
NECESSARY FRIDAY. SCA CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FRIDAY NIGHT
AND THROUGH SATURDAY. WINDS DIMINISH SAT NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY AS
HIGH PRESSURE APPROACHES THE EAST COAST. WEAK COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE
POSSIBLE MONDAY WITH MARGINAL SMALL CRAFT POTENTIAL.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
A STATIONARY BOUNDARY OVER THE REGION TODAY WILL LIFT NORTH AS A
WARM FRONT TONIGHT. SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE ALONG AND AHEAD
OF THE BOUNDARY LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT.
HOWEVER...RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE LIGHT. FUEL MOISTURES MAY
REMAIN RELATIVELY LOW THROUGH TONIGHT.
A COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE REGION FRIDAY AFTERNOON. GUSTY
SOUTHWEST WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL SHIFT TOWARD THE WEST
BEHIND THE FRONT. WIND GUSTS AROUND 45 TO 50 MPH ARE
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY BEHIND THE COLD FRONT FRIDAY AFTERNOON. MUCH
DRIER AIR WILL MOVE IN BEHIND THE FRONT CAUSING RELATIVE
HUMIDITIES TO DROP TO NEAR OR BELOW 30 PERCENT. THE COMBINATION OF
GUSTY WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY MAY POSE AN ENHANCED THREAT
FOR THE SPREAD OF WILDFIRES FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO EARLY FRIDAY
EVENING. WILL LIKELY COORDINATE WITH STATE AGENCIES ABOUT FUEL
MOISTURE FRIDAY MORNING TO SEE IF A HEADLINE IS NEEDED.
GUSTY WINDS AND DRY CONDITIONS ARE ALSO EXPECTED SATURDAY
AFTERNOON.
