Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
632 AM EST Thu Feb 9 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure is moving off the Delmarva thiS morning. High
pressure and much seasonable temperatures will return tonight
and Friday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...

Have dropped the advisory for Carroll-Harford line. Precip is
pulling out and traffic cams are only showing a little snow on
grass. Road temps still above freezing.

Winter storm warning for Highlands for upslope snow remains in
effect.

Bigger story today will probably be winds. As low deepens
offshore northerly wind gusts of 40 mph will be common.
Confidence is not high enough to issue a wind advisory but will
brief oncoming shift to keep eyes on this.

High temperature may occur at the beginning of the day.

The trough axis will push east of the area around 00Z Friday
with subsidence and drying shutting down squalls.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
We have issued a wind chill advisory for a portion of the
Highlands for tonight.

Very cold and brisk Thu night under building high pressure.
Chilly Fri under high pressure. Moderating temps Fri night
under warm advection clouds and srly flow.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Frontal zone will set up near or just north of the region on
Saturday. The air mass will be much milder than what will be
observed today and Friday, with temperatures rebounding back into
the 50s to low 60s. With the frontal zone nearby, can expect pretty
widespread cloud cover, but the day looks to be mainly dry.

An area of low pressure will then lift northeastward out of the Mid
Mississippi Valley Saturday night and into the northeastern US on
Sunday while phasing with northern stream energy moving through the
Great Lakes. The exact track of the low and northward progression of
the warm frontal boundary is still uncertain, but chances for rain
showers will be on the increase. Degree of warmth will be dependent
on how much we can break into the warm sector (50s vs 60-70F).

Cold front will cross the region Sunday night with gusty northwest
flow taking over on Monday. Temperatures still above mid-February
normals however, with highs in the 50s.

Model differences then increase heading into the middle of next week
with developing split flow pattern. Differences lie in handling of
southern stream energy ejecting out of the SW US and northern stream
energy diving into the northern US from Canada.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
MVFR occurring but ceilings should improve. Winds/shear/turbulence
look to be the bigger concern today.

Winds strengthen rapidly after 12Z in the wake of this storm,
with frequent gusts to 35kt. Snow showers possible this
afternoon which could result in sudden changes in visibility.

Predominantly VFR expected Friday through Sunday, although
chances exist for some sub-VFR conditions with frontal boundary
nearby. Winds generally south/southwest. A cold front crosses
Sunday night with VFR and gusty northwest winds expected Monday.

&&

.MARINE...
Gale conditions in effect for all waters today and will
continue through Thursday night for most of the Chesapeake Bay
and the mouth of the Potomac River. Small Craft conditions will
follow on Friday and likely will continue through the weekend.

Periods of SCA conditions possible both Saturday and Sunday in
south/southwest winds ahead of an approaching cold front. Winds will
turn northwest with SCA possible again Monday.

&&

.CLIMATE...
Record daily high temperatures were set at all three climate
stations Wednesday...into the 70s once again. Please refer to
record event reports (RERs) for the details.
