AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
310 PM EST TUE FEB 2 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE PUSHES EAST TONIGHT. A COLD FRONT SWINGS
THROUGH THE REGION TOMORROW WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN THE
WAKE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK INTO THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE EXITS THE REGION TONIGHT WITH A COLD FRONT MOVING
THROUGH DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY. MULTIPLE HAZARDS WILL BE OF A
CONCERN DURING THIS TIME INCLUDING GUSTY WINDS AND FLOODING
CONCERNS. A FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR COUNTIES ALONG THE MASON-
DIXON AND EASTERN WV PANHANDLE WED AFTN-THURS AFTN. A WIND
ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE POTOMAC
HIGHLANDS AND THE BLUE RIDGE.

DRY WX LATE THIS AFTN...WITH INCRSG CLOUDS AHEAD OF A WARM FRONT
ASSOCIATED WITH A LARGER SYSTEM BACK OVER THE MIDWEST. THE FIRST
CONCERN OF THE PERIOD IS THE STRONG WINDS TONIGHT AT THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS OVER OUR WESTERN CWA. LLJ WINDS BETWEEN 55 AND 70
KTS...THOUGH WITH AN INVERSION IN PLACE...THINKING IT WILL BE TOUGH
FOR THE WINDS TO MIX DOWN TO THE VALLEYS. AS SUCH...AM HOLDING THE
ADVISORY TO JUST THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE COUNTY. THE LLJ SHOULD
AID IN PUSHING THE WARM FRONT THRU AT LEAST WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE
CWA LATE TONIGHT...HANGING BACK EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE TILL AFTR
DAYBREAK. RAIN WILL SPREAD NORTH FROM THE SOUTHWEST SECOND HALF OF
THE NIGHT...AND OVERSPREADING EVERYWHERE DURING THE AM HOURS WED.

BRIEF BREAK IN THE PCPN PSBL WED MORNING BEFORE THE COLD FRONT
BEGINS TO MOVE THRU. LATEST MODEL SOLUTIONS HINTING AT SHOWER
ACTIVITY INCRSG IN COVERAGE MIDDAY...WITH PSBL LINE FORMING RIGHT
AHEAD OF THE FRONT...MORE THE PM HOURS...EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE WITH
THE LLJ AXIS ALIGNING PARALLEL TO THE RIDGE. THIS LINE WILL ALSO
BRING THE PERIOD OF THE HEAVIEST RAIN...19-03Z. WE HAVE BEEN
DISCUSSING THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING WITH THE RECENT
SNOW MELT...WHICH COMBINED WITH ALMOST ONE INCH...AND ISOLATED HIGHER
AMTS...COULD RESULT IN FLOODING OF URBAN AND STREAMS. THE FLOOD
WATCH IS IN EFFECT BEGINNING AT 18Z WED. INSTABILITY IS VERY MINIMAL
AND FORCING ALOFT ON THE WEAKER END...BUT CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISO
TSTM MAINLY SOUTHERN MD WITH THE LINE WED AFTN/EVENING. STRONG SHEER
THROUGHOUT THE VERTICAL PROFILE SUGGESTS PSBL GUSTY WINDS...BUT
THINK ANY SVR SHOULD BE SUPPRESSED SOUTH OF THE REGION.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
12Z MODEL SUITE STILL SHOWING SOME DISCREPANCIES ON HOW QUICKLY
THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION...AND THUS WHEN THE PCPN
TAPERS OFF. CURRENT THINKING IS THE FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH THE
SECOND HALF OF WED NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD BACK IN
FROM THE WEST. TAPER POPS OFF WEST TO EAST...KEEP POPS ONLY EAST
OF I-95 AND THE UPSLOPE REGIONS LATE WED NIGHT...TAPERING OFF
DURING THE DAY THURS.

OTHER THAN LIGHT UPSLOPE SNOW SHOWERS THRU THURS NIGHT...HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING IN WILL KEEP THE AREA DRY. THE COLDER AIR SLIGHTLY
SLOWER TO ARRIVE...WITH A STRONGER SURGE DURING THE DAY THURSDAY.
THURS NIGHT TEMPS WILL DROP BELOW FREEZING EVERYWHERE. SNOW TOTALS
FOR THE UPSLOPE WILL JUST BE A FEW TENTHS...AND IS EXPECTED TO TAPER
OFF BY FRI MORNING WITH A LACK OF MOISTURE IN THE SNOW GROWTH ZONE.

CONCERNING FLOODING...THE URBAN FLOODING THREAT WILL DIMINISH WED
NIGHT. HOWEVER...DEPENDING ON RAINFALL AMTS AND SNOW MELT...WED NIGHT
THRU THURS COULD SEE RIVER FLOODING CONCERNS. SEE HYDRO SECTION FOR
MORE DETAILS.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A NORTHWEST WIND WILL CONTINUE BEHIND A DEPARTING FRONT THURSDAY
NIGHT. THERE MAY BE A FEW LINGERING UPSLOPE SNOW SHOWERS ALONG THE
ALLEGHENY FRONT. OVERALL DRY AND MOSTLY CLEAR CONDITIONS EXPECTED
ELSEWHERE. HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS IN OVERHEAD. MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES
AND DRY WEATHER EXPECTED FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. TEMPERATURES ON
FRIDAY NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL...MODERATING TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE
NORMAL SATURDAY.

A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE OFF TO THE NORTH SUNDAY WITH LITTLE TO NO
IMPACT TO THE REGION. AS A RIDGE BUILDS ON THE WEST COAST...A TROUGH
WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE EAST IN THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK...WITH
POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPING COASTAL LOW. TEMPERATURES WILL START MILD
ON SUNDAY...BECOMING COLDER INTO NEXT WEEK.

A SECONDARY UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES MONDAY WILL MOVE
TOWARD THE EAST. THIS SECONDARY LOW AND THE POTENTIAL DEVELOPING
COASTAL LOW COULD HAVE AN IMPACT ON MONDAY'S WEATHER AND
TEMPERATURES. TIMING OF THE LOW AND POSITION OF THE LOWS ARE
UNCERTAIN.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS THRU THE FIRST HALF OF TONIGHT WITH LIGHT ELY
WINDS. PCPN MOVES IN THE SECOND HALF OF TONIGHT...WHICH WILL DROP
CIGS AND VIS QUICKLY...WITH IFR IN BETWEEN 08-12Z. WITH FOG
DEVELOPMENT AND ANY HEAVIER RAIN...LIFR CONDITIONS WILL BE PSBL
DURING THE AM HOURS AS WELL. WHILE WINDS REMAIN LIGHT AT THE
SFC...STRONG LLJ WILL PRODUCE LLWS CONCERNS...WITH WINDS 40-50 KTS
AT 2KFT.

IFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS THRU MIDDAY...PCPN MIGHT STOP FOR A PERIOD
BEFORE THE RAIN SHOWERS MOVE IN FOR THE AFTN. GENERALLY LOOKING AT
MVFR CONDITIONS WITH THE RAIN. A LINE IS PSBL RIGHT ALONG THE
FRONT...WHICH WILL BRING A PERIOD OF HEAVY RAIN...AND IFR OR LOWER
CONDITIONS. WINDS INCREASE DURING THE DAY AS WELL PRIOR TO THE COLD
FRONT...WITH GUSTS 20-25 KTS PSBL.

PCPN TAPERS OFF WED EVENING...WITH A BRIEF LULL IN THE WINDS BEFORE
INCRSG AGAIN FROM THE NW OVERNIGHT. VFR CONDITIONS WITH GUSTY
CONDITIONS THURS THRU FRIDAY. NORTHWEST WINDS AROUND 10 KNOTS WITH
GUSTS 15 TO 20 KNOTS.

&&

.MARINE...
SUB-SCA CONDITIONS ATTM...AND EXPECTED FOR A GOOD PORTION OF
TONIGHT. INCRSG SLY WINDS IN THE MORNING...WITH A SCA IN EFFECT
FOR ALL THE WATERS DURING THE DAY WED. HAVE LINGERING SCA ON THE
CHESAPEAKE BAY AND LOWER TIDAL POTOMAC WED NIGHT. MAY NEED TO
EXTEND INTO THURSDAY AS WELL WITH PERSISTENT NW FLOW.

RAIN IS EXPECTED WED...WITH ISO TSTM PSBL WED AFTN/EVENING. GUSTY
WINDS MAY ACCOMPANY SOME OF THE HEAVIER STORMS...WITH SMW
POTENTIALLY NEEDED. PRESSURE SURGE WED EVENING COULD BRING OCNL
GALES TO THE CHESAPEAKE BAY...BUT CONFIDENCE TOO LOW TO ISSUE ATTM
AND WILL LET SUBSEQUENT SHIFTS DETERMINE THE NEED.

SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS POSSIBLE THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
THE WARMTH AND RAIN ON MONDAY LED TO ANOTHER HIT ON THE SNOW
WATER...WHICH THIS MORNING WAS DOWN TO JUST NINE TENTHS OF AN
INCH. THE BULK OF THE SNOW IS GONE AT THIS POINT...ACTUALLY
COMPLETELY GONE IN MUCH OF THE SOUTH FORK
SHENANDOAH...RAPIDAN...RIVANNA...AND JAMES BASINS...AND IN
SOUTHERN MARYLAND.

WE ARE SEEING AT LEAST SOME STREAM REACTION TO SNOW MELT IN MOST OF
THE AREA NOW...THE EXCEPTION BEING SMALLER STREAMS NEAR THE PA/MD
BORDER. SOME OF THIS LACK OF REACTION COULD BE DUE TO ICE. SPEAKING
OF ICE...THERE WERE SEVERAL PARTIAL ICE BLOCKAGES OF STREAMS NOTED
IN EASTERN WV LAST NIGHT AND THIS MORNING. ONE WAS SIGNIFICANT
ENOUGH TO SEND THE CACAPON RIVER OUT OF ITS BANKS AND OVER ROADS.

OTHERWISE...JUST A STEADY MELT THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING...AND
STREAM LEVELS ON THE SMALLER STREAMS MAY ACTUALLY FALL SINCE MELT IS
SLOWER THAN MONDAY.

CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING IN FLOOD POTENTIAL FOR WEDNESDAY. THE MOST
REMAINING SNOW PACK IS IN THE FAR EASTERN WV PANHANDLE EASTWARD
ACROSS NORTHERN MARYLAND...AND WITH TEMPERATURES FORECAST TO EXCEED
60 IN MOST OF THAT AREA...AND DEWPOINTS IN THE 50S EAST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE...MUCH OF WHAT IS LEFT WILL NOT LAST PAST WEDNESDAY. COMBINE
THAT MELT WITH AN EXPECTED HALF TO THREE-QUARTERS OF AN INCH OF RAIN
/WITH ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS/ AND THAT IS A RECIPE FOR AT LEAST
SOME FLOODING. A FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE AREA WITH THE
GREATEST REMAINING SNOW PACK FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.

THEN ALL THE RAIN AND SNOW MELT FUNNELS INTO LARGER STREAMS.
SIGNIFICANT WITHIN-BANK RISES ARE EXPECTED AREAWIDE. CURRENTLY
FLOODING IS FORECAST ON OPEQUON CREEK /NEAR THE SNOW WATER
BULLSEYE/...AS WELL AS THE MAINSTEAM SHENANDOAH RIVER AND THE
MAINSTEAM POTOMAC BELOW WILLIAMSPORT. A FLOOD WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED
FOR THE OPEQUON...AND A WATCH FOR THE SHENANDOAH. FLOODING ON THE
MAINSTEM POTOMAC WOULD NOT START BEFORE THURSDAY EVENING AND IS MORE
UNCERTAIN SINCE IT IS DEPENDENT ON BOTH RAIN AND SNOW MELT. FOR THAT
REASON...NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE EXISTS YET FOR A WATCH OR WARNING ON
THE MAINSTEM POTOMAC. WILL REASSESS THIS EARLY WEDNESDAY AS THE RAIN
BEGINS.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
INCRSG SLY FLOW WED WILL INCREASE WATER LVLS...MAINLY NORTHERN
CHESAPEAKE BAY. TIDES ARE FORECASTED TO EXCEED MINOR FLOOD
THRESHOLDS AT HAVRE DE GRACE AND BOWLEYS QUARTER LATE WED.
BALTIMORE AND ANNAPOLIS ARE CLOSE...BUT CURRENTLY ARE NOT
FORECASTED TO GO OVER. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE TREND.

WITH NW FLOW BEHIND THE FRONT...WILL SEE WATER LVLS DROP THURSDAY.
