AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
258 PM EDT FRI APR 1 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH OF THE AREA THIS EVENING. A WAVE OF
LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS BY TO OUR SOUTH ALONG THE BOUNDARY LATE
TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY...AND A REINFORCING COLD FRONT WILL PASS
THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVERHEAD SUNDAY
INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH MONDAY
AFTERNOON. HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN FOR TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A COLD FRONT IS MOVING THROUGH THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON. A SOUTHERLY FLOW BETWEEN THE COLD FRONT AND HIGH
PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC HAS USHERED IN WARM AND MOIST
AIR OVER THE AREA. THE POTENT DRY SLOT HAS ALLOWED FOR SUNSHINE
WHICH HAS CAUSED TEMPS TO RISE INTO THE UPPER 70S AND LOWER 80S
FOR MOST LOCATIONS.

THE COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE WASHINGTON AND BALTIMORE
METROPOLITAN AREAS BETWEEN 2 AND 5 PM...BEFORE PASSING THROUGH
SOUTHERN MARYLAND THIS EVENING.

DEWPOINTS IN THE 60S AHEAD OF THE FRONT ALONG WITH THE WARM
AIRMASS WILL LEAD TO SOME INSTABILITY THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS
EVENING ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT. LATEST MESOANALYSIS  SHOWS
AROUND 500 J/KG OF MLCAPE AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY AND THE 12Z
MODIFIED KIAD RAOB SHOWS AROUND 1KJ/KG OF MLCAPE AHEAD OF THE
BOUNDARY THAT DEVELOPS NEAR AND EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS.
CAPE IS SKINNY AND DRY AIR ALOFT MAY ENTRAIN INTO UPDRAFTS
KEEPING MOST STORMS BELOW SEVERE LEVELS. HOWEVER...THE SHEAR
PROFILES ARE STRONG AND WITH DRY AIR ALOFT IF ANY REFLECTIVITY
CORES DO DEVELOP...THEN LOCALLY DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND LARGE HAIL
ARE POSSIBLE. THE BEST CHANCE FOR A STRONGER THUNDERSTORM WILL BE
NEAR AND EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS. DO THINK THAT COVERAGE
OF CONVECTION WILL BE LIMITED...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED DUE TO WEAK
FORCING ALONG THE FRONT AND THE STRONG DRY SLOT OVERHEAD AT THE
SAME TIME.

A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE BOUNDARY TO THE
SOUTH OVERNIGHT. HIGH AND MID-LEVEL CLOUDS WILL INCREASE TONIGHT
WELL AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM AND A PERIOD OF RAIN IS LIKELY TO BREAK
OUT OVERNIGHT ACROSS SOUTHERN MARYLAND. ELSEWHERE...DRY CONDITIONS
ARE LIKELY TO PERSIST BUT SOME LIGHT RAIN MAY MOVE INTO CENTRAL
VIRGINIA TOWARD SUNRISE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
THE WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS BY TO OUR SOUTH BY MID-MORNING
SATURDAY AND A POTENT JETMAX IN THE SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL ALSO
MOVE THROUGH THE AREA DURING THIS TIME. A PERIOD OF RAIN IS LIKELY
IN SOUTHERN MARYLAND TOWARD THE I-95 CORRIDOR. THE RAIN MAY MAKE
IT FARTHER WEST FOR A COUPLE HOURS TO NEAR THE BLUE RIDGE AND
CATOCTIN MOUNTAINS. RAINFALL AMOUNTS FOR MOST AREAS WILL BE
LIGHT...GENERALLY LESS THAN ONE-TENTH OF AN INCH.
HOWEVER...RAINFALL AMOUNTS AROUND ONE-QUARTER INCH ARE POSSIBLE IN
SOUTHERN MARYLAND.

CLOUDS AND RAIN WILL DISSIPATE QUICKLY LATE SATURDAY MORNING
PERHAPS INTO EARLY SATURDAY AFTERNOON. COLD ADVECTION BEHIND THE
BOUNDARY WILL ALLOW FOR MORE SEASONABLE CONDITIONS SATURDAY WITH
MAX TEMPS IN THE 60S FOR MOST LOCATIONS.

A STRONG REINFORCING COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE AREA
SATURDAY NIGHT. A FEW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE...AND SOME SNOW SHOWERS ARE LIKELY ALONG AND WEST OF THE
ALLEGHENY FRONT WITH ACCUMULATIONS LIKELY ABOVE 2500 FEET.
HOWEVER...THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE STRONG WINDS WITH THE PRESSURE
SURGE ALONG WITH VERY COLD CONDITIONS FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. A
STRONG PRESSURE SURGE AND DEEP MIXING MAY CAUSE WINDS TO GUST
AROUND 50 TO EVEN 60 MPH LATE SATURDAY EVENING INTO SUNDAY MORNING
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE MOST LIKELY ACROSS
NORTHERN AND CENTRAL MARYLAND INTO THE BALTIMORE AND WASHINGTON
METROPOLITAN AREAS. THIS IS WHERE MOST GUIDANCE TRACKS THE
STRONGEST WINDS ALOFT THAT WOULD HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO MIX DOWN.
TEMPS WILL DROP SHARPLY INTO THE TEENS AND 20S IN THE MOUNTAINS
AND UPPER 20S TO MIDDLE 30S ELSEWHERE. A FREEZE WATCH IS IN EFFECT
OVERNIGHT FOR THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL MARYLAND
INTO THE SOME OF SUBURBS OF WASHINGTON AND BALTIMORE.

CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD TOWARD THE AREA SUNDAY...BUT
GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE. THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE LIKELY SUNDAY
MORNING. THE WIND WATCH CONTINUES THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. BLUSTERY
AND COLD CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED...DESPITE SUNSHINE. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL REMAIN OVERHEAD SUNDAY NIGHT...BRINGING DRY AND CHILLY
CONDITIONS.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
LOW PRESSURE AND AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL SAG ACROSS THE REGION
MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...BRINGING A CHANCE FOR RAIN SHOWERS ACROSS
MUCH OF THE CWA. WINDS WILL BECOME GUSTY AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND
BEHIND THE FRONT AS WELL.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION TUESDAY AND TUESDAY
NIGHT...BRINGING IN COOLER AND DRIER AIR WHICH WILL LEAD TO MUCH
BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES...NEARLY 15 TO 20 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.
COLD TEMPERATURES AND DRY AIR WILL LINGER WEDNESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
MOVES OFF OF THE COAST. A MODEST SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL DEVELOP DURING
THE DAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

THE CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS RETURNS WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH A BETTER
CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS OR PERHAPS A THUNDERSTORM THURSDAY AS A COLD
FRONT APPROACHES WITH GOOD UPPER LEVEL ENERGY SUPPORT.

THE THREAT FOR ADDITIONAL RAIN SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS WILL LINGER
THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY WITH ADDITIONAL UPPER LEVEL ENERGY
PIVOTING FROM THE OHIO VALLEY TO THE MID-ATLANTIC.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. GUSTY
SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL DIMINISH AROUND SUNSET THIS EVENING. ISOLATED
TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS MAY IMPACT THE TERMINALS UNTIL AROUND
23Z. AFTER THAT...CONVECTION SHOULD DISSIPATE AND MOVE OFF TO THE
EAST. ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO OCCUR MAY CONTAIN GUSTY WINDS AND
HAIL...BUT COVERAGE WILL BE LIMITED DUE TO WEAK INSTABILITY AND
PLENTY OF DRY AIR AND SUBSIDENCE ALOFT.

A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS BY TO THE SOUTH LATE TONIGHT INTO
SATURDAY MORNING. A PERIOD OF RAIN IS POSSIBLE MAINLY ACROSS THE
EASTERN TERMINALS. RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE LIGHT AND VFR
CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY TO PREVAIL. STILL CANNOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT
MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN ANY RAIN THAT DEVELOPS.

WESTERLY WINDS WILL GUST AROUND 20 TO 25 KNOTS SATURDAY AFTERNOON
INTO SATURDAY EVENING. A POTENT COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH LATE
SATURDAY EVENING AND STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED BEHIND
THAT BOUNDARY WITH GUSTS 40 TO 50 KNOTS POSSIBLE INTO SUNDAY
MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVERHEAD SUNDAY NIGHT.

MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE WITH A CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS AS A
COLD FRONT SAGS SOUTH ACROSS THE REGION MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT.
WINDS SOUTHWEST 10 TO 15 KNOTS GUSTS 20 TO 25 KNOTS MONDAY BECOMING
NORTHWEST 10 TO 15 KNOTS GUSTS 20 TO 25 KNOTS MONDAY NIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...
A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONTINUES UNTIL 9 PM THIS EVENING. WINDS
SHOULD DECREASE QUICKLY THIS EVENING DUE TO THE LOSS OF MIXING AND
A WEAKENING PRESSURE GRADIENT. A COUPLE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ARE POSSIBLE LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY THIS EVENING.
GUSTY WINDS AND HAIL ARE POSSIBLE...BUT COVERAGE WILL LIKELY BE
LIMITED.

WESTERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE SATURDAY AFTERNOON DUE TO A DEEP
MIXING LAYER. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THE NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE WATERS DURING THIS TIME. A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL
PASS THROUGH THE WATERS LATE SATURDAY EVENING. STRONG WINDS ARE
EXPECTED BEHIND THE FRONT WITH GUSTS AROUND 40 KNOTS LIKELY AND
GUSTS AROUND 50 KNOTS POSSIBLE. A GALE WARNING IS IN EFFECT AND A
STORM WARNING MAY BE NEEDED FOR PORTIONS OF THE WATERS OVERNIGHT
SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY MORNING. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH SUNDAY
AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY NIGHT.

SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS POSSIBLE MONDAY AND GALE FORCE
WINDS ARE POSSIBLE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY BEHIND A COLD FRONT.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
DEPENDING ON FUEL MOISTURE VALUES RED FLAG CONDITIONS APPEAR
LIKELY SUN AS VERY DRY AIR (DEWPOINTS IN THE MID TEENS) MIXES DOWN
IN STRONG NW WINDS. MIN RH WILL BE IN THE 15-25%. 20+ MPH WINDS
EXPECTED OVER NRN VA AND ALL OF MD. LOWEST FUEL MOISTURE VALUES
EXPECTED OVER WRN MD...ERN WV PANHANDLE AND AND WRN VA WHERE
ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE SHOWS A MINIMA IN RAINFALL THROUGH 12Z SUN. VERY
DRY AGAIN TUE BEHIND ANOTHER STRONG CDFNT. IT DOESN'T APPEAR THIS
SAME AREA WILL RECEIVE ENOUGH RAIN MON-MON NIGHT TO INCREASE FUEL
MOISTURE VALUES SIGNIFICANTLY.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
TIDAL ANOMALIES ARE AROUND ONE-HALF FOOT ABOVE NORMAL. A WESTERLY
COMPONENT TO THE WIND WILL CAUSE ANOMALIES TO DROP CLOSER TO
NORMAL THROUGH SATURDAY. A STRONG NORTHWEST WIND BEHIND A COLD
FRONT WILL CAUSE BLOWOUT CONDITIONS LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AND
SUNDAY. WATER LEVELS OF 2 FEET BELOW NORMAL ARE POSSIBLE.
