AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
333 AM EDT MON MAR 16 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE OFFSHORE TODAY. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH
FROM THE NORTH TONIGHT BEFORE PASSING THROUGH TUESDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL RETURN FOR WEDNESDAY...BUT LOW PRESSURE MAY IMPACT
THE AREA THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A SURFACE RIDGE AXIS EXTENDS NORTHEAST THROUGH OUR AREA FROM HIGH
PRESSURE OVER THE TENNESSEE VALLEY EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS HAS
ALLOWED FOR SOME AREAS TO RADIATE...CAUSING A LARGE TEMPERATURE
DIFFERENCE ACROSS THE AREA WITH THE COLDER VALLEYS AND RURAL AREAS
IN THE LOWER 30S AND URBAN AREAS IN THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 40S.

THE RIDGE AXIS WILL SHIFT EAST TODAY AND A WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW
IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AROUND HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER
TENNESSEE VALLEY AND GULF COAST STATES. THE AIRMASS ROTATING
AROUND THE HIGH IS QUITE WARM...AND THAT IS EVIDENT WITH
TEMPERATURES IN THE 50S EARLY THIS MORNING IN KENTUCKY AND OHIO.
THEREFORE...IT IS EXPECTED TO TURN OUT QUITE WARM TODAY. WENT WITH
THE WARMER GUIDANCE FOR LOCATIONS NEAR AND WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE
AND ALSO ACROSS CENTRAL VIRGINIA AND THE VIRGINIA PIEDMONT. ACROSS
THESE AREAS...A DOWNSLOPING FLOW WILL COMBINE WITH SOME SUNSHINE
AND A DEEP MIXING LAYER TO CAUSE UNUSUALLY WARM CONDITIONS. MAX
TEMPS BE IN THE UPPER 60S AND 70S ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS...BUT 50S
IN THE MOUNTAINS. ACROSS THE WASHINGTON AND BALTIMORE METROPOLITAN
AREAS...IT STILL TURN OUT TO BE A WARM DAY BUT EXACTLY HOW WARM
REMAINS A LITTLE UNCERTAIN. THE CURRENT FORECAST IS A BIT COOLER
THAN SOME OF THE WARMER GUIDANCE. THE THINKING BEHIND THIS IS THAT
A SURFACE TROUGH WILL CAUSE THE WINDS TO BE BACKED A BIT...WITH
MORE OF A SOUTHERLY COMPONENT TO THE FLOW. THIS MEANS THAT WINDS
WILL NOT BE ALIGNED PROPERLY WITH HEIGHT...SO MIXING MAY NOT BE AS
DEEP AS IT IS FARTHER SOUTH AND WEST. ALSO WITH THE LIGHTER
FLOW...POTOMAC AND BAY BREEZES ARE LIKELY TO DEVELOP.
THEREFORE...MAX TEMPS ARE FORECAST TO BE IN THE 50S RIGHT ALONG
THE BAY TO THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 60S ACROSS THE REST OF THE
WASHINGTON AND BALTIMORE METROPOLITAN AREAS.

A BKN DECK OF HIGH AND MID-LEVEL CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED AS AN UPPER-
LEVEL DISTURBANCE PASSES THROUGH IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT...BUT
THE CLOUD DECK WILL BE THIN ENOUGH FOR BREAKS OF SUNSHINE.

A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY
TONIGHT. A WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE AROUND THE HIGH SO
IT WILL BE MILD...WITH MIN TEMPS RANGING FROM THE LOWER AND MIDDLE
40S IN NORTHERN MARYLAND TO THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 50S IN PORTIONS
OF THE POTOMAC HIGHLANDS INTO CENTRAL VIRGINIA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY/...
THE COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE REGION TUESDAY...FIRST ACROSS
NORTHERN MARYLAND...EXTREME NORTHERN VIRGINIA AND THE EASTERN
PANHANDLE OF WEST VIRGINIA IN THE MORNING...AND THEN ACROSS THE
WASHINGTON AND BALTIMORE METROPOLITAN AREAS AS WELL AS CENTRAL
VIRGINIA AND THE POTOMAC HIGHLANDS DURING THE AFTERNOON. A
DOWNSLOPING WESTERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL ALLOW FOR
UNUSUALLY WARM CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN AREAS WHERE THE COLD FRONT WILL BE SLOWER TO PASS
THROUGH. MAX TEMPS ARE FORECAST TO RANGE FROM THE 40S IN THE
ALLEGHENY HIGHLANDS...TO THE MID AND UPPER 60S NEAR WASHINGTON
AND BALTIMORE...TO THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 70S IN CENTRAL VIRGINIA.
THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST IS UNCERTAIN BECAUSE OF THE TIMING OF THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE. ALSO...THE HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE MOST LIKELY TO
OCCUR IN THE LATE MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON WITH TEMPERATURES
FALLING BEHIND THE COLD FRONT.

A FEW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...BUT ANY
PRECIPITATION WILL BE LIGHT. THE COLD ADVECTION AND STRONG
PRESSURE SURGE BEHIND THE FRONT WILL CAUSE WIND CONDITIONS...WITH
NORTHWEST WINDS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT GUSTING OVER 40 MPH AT
TIMES...ESPECIALLY IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...

&&

.AVIATION /07Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT. WEST TO SOUTHWEST
WINDS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE TERMINALS TODAY. THE STRONGEST WINDS
ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE WESTERN TERMINALS WITH GUSTS AROUND 20
KNOTS. WINDS TONIGHT WILL BE LIGHT. A COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH
THE TERMINALS TUESDAY. A FEW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE...BUT
PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS WILL BE LIGHT AND VFR CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY
TO PREVAIL. GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED BEHIND THE FRONT
WITH GUSTS AROUND 35 KNOTS POSSIBLE.

&&

.MARINE...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE TO OUR EAST TODAY. THE FLOW WILL TURN
ONSHORE LATER THIS MORNING BEFORE POSSIBLY TURNING TOWARD THE
SOUTHWEST LATER THIS AFTERNOON. WIND GUSTS MAY COME CLOSE TO SCA
CRITERIA FOR A PERIOD LATE THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...CURRENT
THINKING IS THAT THE MIXING LAYER WILL NOT BE AS DEEP DUE TO THE
COLDER WATERS...KEEPING THE STRONGER WINDS TO THE WEST.
THEREFORE...A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED AT THIS
TIME.

A SOUTHWEST FLOW IS EXPECTED TONIGHT. WINDS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW
SCA CRITERIA. A COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE WATERS
TUESDAY...FIRST ACROSS THE NORTHERN CHESAPEAKE BAY LATE TUESDAY
MORNING AND THEN ACROSS THE REST OF THE WATERS TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED BEHIND THE FRONT. WIND GUSTS
AROUND 25 TO 30 KNOTS ARE EXPECTED FOR MOST OF THE TIME...BUT
THERE WILL BE A PERIOD FOR A FEW HOURS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT
TUESDAY AFTERNOON WHERE WIND GUSTS AROUND 35 KNOTS ARE EXPECTED.
THEREFORE...A GALE WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR THE WATERS.
