AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
331 AM EST TUE MAR 1 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE OFF TO THE EAST TODAY. A COLD FRONT WILL
CROSS THE REGION LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL AGAIN BRIEFLY BUILD WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...BUT
MULTIPLE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS POSSIBLY IMPACT THE MID-ATLANTIC
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE COMING WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
HIGH PRESSURE OVERHEAD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINLY CLEAR SKIES ALONG
WITH DRY AND SEASONABLY CHILLY CONDITIONS EARLY THIS MORNING.

THE HIGH WILL MOVE OFF THE COAST TODAY AND A RETURN FLOW WILL
DEVELOP FROM THE SOUTH. IT WILL TURN OUT BREEZY IN THE AFTERNOON
SINCE THE GRADIENT WILL STRENGTHEN AHEAD OF LOW PRESSURE
APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. WILL ALSO SEE MORE HIGH AND MID-LEVEL
CLOUDS THROUGHOUT THE DAY...BUT IT SHOULD REMAIN DRY. THE
SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL ALLOW FOR WARM CONDITONS...AND WITH DECENT
SUNSHINE THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY MAX TEMPS WILL BE WELL ABOVE
CLIMO. LEANED TOWARD THE WARMER GUIDANCE WITH MAX TEMPS FORECAST
TO BE RANGE FROM THE 50S IN THE MOUNTAINS...TO THE LOWER AND
MIDDLE 60S NEAR WASHINGTON AND BALTIMORE...TO THE MIDDLE AND UPPER
60S IN CENTRAL VIRGINIA.

THE LOW WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN AS IT PASSES BY TO OUR NORTH
LATE TONIGHT. THE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW WILL MOVE
THROUGH OUR AREA DURING THIS TIME...PASSING THROUGH THE POTOMAC
HIGHLANDS NEAR MIDNIGHT THEN ACROSS THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY BETWEEN
1 AND 3 AM...BEFORE MOVING THROUGH THE WASHINGTON AND BALTIMORE
METROPOLITAN AREAS AS WELL AS SOUTHERN MARYLAND BETWEEN 3 AM AND 6
AM. DEEPER MOISTURE WILL STREAM INTO THE AREA FROM THE SOUTH
AHEAD OF THE FRONT...SO SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED ALONG AND AHEAD OF
THE FRONTAL PASSAGE LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. GIVEN THE
POTENT SHORTWAVE AND HEIGHT FALLS JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE...DID ADD SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THUNDER DUE TO HIGHER MID-
LEVEL LAPSE RATES. INSTABILITY SHOULD REMAIN LIMITED AND ANY
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE ELEVATED. HAVING THAT BEEN SAID...A STRONG
PRESSURE GRADIENT WITH THE FRONT WILL ALLOW FOR A STRONG LOW-
LEVEL JET TO DEVELOP. STRONG FORCING ALONG THE FRONT SUGGESTS THAT
A LINE OF HEAVIER SHOWERS RIGHT ALONG THE BOUNDARY COULD CAUSE
GUSTY WINDS FROM ALOFT TO MIX DOWN. THE BEST CHANCE FOR THIS TO
OCCUR WILL BE LATE TONIGHT RIGHT ALONG THE FRONTAL PASSAGE.

A STRONG PRESSURE SURGE BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WILL CAUSE GUSTY
WESTERLY WINDS AROUND 35 TO 45 MPH TOWARD MORNING FOR MOST AREAS
AND IT WILL TURN OUT MUCH COLDER. TEMPS MAY DROP 20 DEGREES IN A
FEW HOURS FROM THE 50S INTO THE 30S FOR MANY LOCATIONS BY SUNRISE.
HIGHER ELEVATIONS ARE LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE EVEN STRONGER WINDS DUE
TO THE LOW-LEVEL JET. A WIND ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THE
ALLEGHENY AND POTOMAC HIGHLANDS AS WELL AS THE BLUE RIDGE
MOUNTAINS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
THE FRONT WILL MOVE OFF TO THE EAST WEDNESDAY...BUT STRONG COLD
ADVECTION AND GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY
BEHIND THE FRONT. BLUSTERY AND COLD CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WITH
TEMPS RANGING FROM THE 20S IN THE MOUNTAINS TO THE 40S NEAR
WASHINGTON AND BALTIMORE DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THE WIND
ADVISORY FOR THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS IS IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON
WEDNESDAY.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BULID OVERHEAD WEDNESDAY NIGHT...BRINGING DRY
AND COLD CONDITIONS BEFORE MOVING OFF TO THE EAST THURSDAY.
ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE AREA THURSDAY BEFORE
PASSING BY TO THE SOUTH THURSDAY NIGHT. SHORTWAVE ENERGY WILL BE
SPLIT BETWEEN THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN STREAM. THE SOUTHERN
STREAM WILL EVENTUALLY PHASE WITH THE NORTHERN STREAM
SYSTEM...CAUSING LOW PRESSURE TO RAPIDLY INTENSIFY. HOWEVER...IT
APPEARS THAT THIS WOULD TAKE PLACE TOO LATE BEFORE THE COASTAL LOW
HAS A CHANCE TO SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT THE AREA.

HAVING THAT BEEN SAID...THE SOUTHERN STREAM SYSTEM WILL TRACK TO
OUR SOUTH...PUTTING OUR AREA IN THE FAVORABLE LOCATION FOR SNOW TO
DEVELOP LATE THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. DETAILS ARE UNCERTAIN AT
THIS TIME...BUT MOST OF THE DETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE AND THE
ENSEMBLE RUNS SHOW AN ACCUMULATING SNOW DEVELOPING LATE THURSDAY
IN THE ALLEGHENY HIGHLANDS AND THURSDAY NIGHT ACROSS MOST OTHER
LOCATIONS. TIMING AND EXACT SNOWFALL AMOUNTS REMAIN UNCERTAIN AT
THIS TIME...DUE TO UNCERTAINTY IN THE EXACT TRACK OF THE SOUTHERN
STREAM SYSTEM.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
CONTINUING FROM THE PREVIOUS SECTION...FRIDAYS WX WILL BE FOCUSED
AROUND THE PROGRESSION/PLACEMENT OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY ROUNDING THE
BASE OF AN UPPER LVL TROUGH...AND AT THE SFC THE TRACK OF A
DEEPENING COASTAL LOW. STILL SOME DISCREPANCIES IN THE PLACEMENT
OF THE AFOREMENTIONED FEATURES IN THE 00Z MODEL SUITE...WITH THE
GFS TRACK COMING FURTHER NORTH WITH THE SHORTWAVE...ALONG WITH THE
CENTER OF THE LOW BEING CLOSER TO SHORE WHILE THE ECMWF REMAINS
THE LOWER END OF THE SPECTRUM. PROFILE ALOFT SHOWING THE LATEST
RUN OF MODELS COLDER THAN WHAT WE WERE SEEING 24 HRS AGO...ESP
WITH THE INCREASED CAA ON THE NLY FLOW AS THE SFC LOW DEEPENS
OFFSHORE. 850MB TEMPS ACROSS THE CWA BY 18Z FRI GENERALLY -5 TO -7
DEGREES CELSIUS THOUGH SFC TEMPS EXPECTED TO WARM INTO THE 40S FOR
MOST AREAS FRI AFTN...SUGGESTING INITIALLY SNOW FRI
MORNING...TURNING TO A RAIN/SNOW MIX OR EVEN ALL RAIN BY FRI
AFTN...IF THE PCPN IS OCCURRING. THE 00Z MODELS ARE QUICKER WITH
THE PROGRESSION OF THE LOW AND AS SUCH...HAVE NOW TIMED OUT THE
HEAVIER AMTS TO THURS NIGHT...WITH LIGHT AMTS ONLY DURING THE DAY
FRI AS THE AXIS OF HEAVIEST QPF PUSHES OFFSHORE.

THE AREA BEGINS TO DRY OUT BY FRI NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN
THE WAKE OF THE DEPARTING LOW. QUICK MOVING LOW PRESSURE COULD BRING
ANOTHER QUICK BURST OF LIGHT SNOW OR RAIN SAT NIGHT WITH THE HIGH
RETURNING BRIEFLY SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. THE GFS IS SUGGESTING YET
ANOTHER SYSTEM MONDAY...BUT WILL PLAY CONSERVATIVE FOR NOW AND KEEP
A DRY FORECAST HEADING INTO THE NEW WORK WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS TODAY WITH INCREASING SOUTHERLY WINDS. WINDS WILL
GUST AROUND 20 TO 25 KNOTS THIS AFTERNOON. A COLD FRONT WILL PASS
THROUGH THE TERMINALS AFTER MIDNIGHT. SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS
WILL GUST AROUND 20 TO 25 KNOTS AHEAD OF THE FRONT. A LINE OF
HEAVIER SHOWERS ALONG THE FRONT MAY CAUSE LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS AS
THE BOUNDARY MOVES THROUGH. MVFR CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY IN THE
SHOWERS LATE TONIGHT. BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE IN LOCALLY
HEAVIER SHOWERS OR PERHAPS EVEN AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM.

GUSTY WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED BEHIND THE FRONT FOR
WEDNESDAY. GUSTS AROUND 30 TO 35 KNOTS ARE EXPECTED. THE STRONGEST
GUSTS WILL BE THROUGH THE MIDDAY HOURS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD
OVERHEAD WEDNESDAY NIGHT...CAUSING WINDS TO DIMINISH.

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THURSDAY. LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS BY TO
THE SOUTH THURSDAY NIGHT...AND SNOW IS LIKELY ALONG WITH IFR
CONDITIONS.

SUB-VFR CONDITIONS LIKELY FRIDAY-FRI NIGHT. BEST CHC FOR IFR OR
LOWER CONDITIONS FRIDAY MORNING WITH THE BEST CHC FOR SNOW.
CONDITIONS IMPROVE LATE FRI NIGHT...BCMG VFR SAT. SUB-VFR
CONDITIONS PSBL SAT NIGHT WITH THE PASSING CLIPPER.

&&

.MARINE...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE OFF THE COAST TODAY AND A SOUTHERLY FLOW
WILL STRENGTHEN. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THE
WATERS FROM LATE THIS MORNING THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON.

A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE WATERS TONIGHT BEFORE PASSING
THROUGH BETWEEN 3 AM AND 6 AM LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY
MORNING. SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT. THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN ALONG THE
FRONT...CAUSING GUSTY SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS. A SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THE WATERS TONIGHT. A LINE OF HEAVIER
SHOWERS AND PERHAPS EVEN AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM ARE POSSIBLE
RIGHT ALONG THE COLD FRONT BETWEEN 3 AM AND 6 AM. LOCALLY GUSTY
WINDS MAY GET MIXED DOWN TO THE SURFACE.

A STRONG PRESSURE SURGE WILL CAUSE GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS
WEDNESDAY. A GALE WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR THE WATERS WEDNESDAY
MORNING. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY SUBSIDE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...BUT A
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL BE NEEDED FOR THE WATERS DURING THIS
TIME. THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT
FOR PORTIONS OF THE WATERS...BUT WINDS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVERHEAD.

WILL PASS BY TO THE SOUTH OF THE WATERS THURSDAY NIGHT. THE
