Area forecast discussion, Mar 19, 4:18 AM EDT, 12 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
418 AM EDT Mon Mar 19 2018
.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure off the Mid Atlantic coast this morning will push out
in to the western Atlantic today as low pressure passes through the
Tennessee Valley today. Coastal low pressure will emerge and
strengthen off the Mid Atlantic coast on Tuesday. Another low
pressure system will develop off the Carolina coast Tuesday night,
passing south of our region. Canadian high pressure returns for the
latter half of the work week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
High pressure situated along the Delmarva coastline this morning has
kept winds light across the area with mostly clear skies prevailing.
Temperatures are holding in the upper 20s to middle 30s area wide.
Clouds will increase today as high pressure slides eastward and we
see warm air advection taking place aloft, as well as some
isentropic lift, which could result in light rain/drizzle across
central VA later this morning. Highs today will reach in to the
lower 50s for most, sticking in the 40s in the mountains.
Low pressure will track through the TN Valley today and approach our
area this evening. Expect much of the precipitation to hold off
until after midnight for most, with light rain likely across Central
VA this evening. See no ptype concerns this evening as temperatures
remain in the upper 30s to lower 40s. Do have some concerns with the
potential for a mix of rain/snow/sleet and perhaps some freezing
rain along our far western zones in WV and western MD overnight. No
advisories issued at this time as any snow/sleet accumulations look
to remain just below criteria, but if thermal profiles continue to
show freezing rain potential, this is a possibility later today.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
The transition from rain to a wintry mix across the area will
continue southward throughout the day on Tuesday as the low moves
off to our northeast, filtering in additional cold air. There will
be a lull in precipitation Tuesday afternoon and early evening as
the low pulls away from the area and another low pressure area
emerges off the Carolina coast overnight Tuesday. As this low moves
northeastward Tuesday night and early Wednesday, low pressure will
reside at the surface and aloft over WV, helping spread snowfall
across much of the area. Confidence is increasing for at least
advisory criteria for portions of the area overnight Tuesday and
early Wednesday, but confidence in warning criteria is not there at
this point. See our winter weather page at weather.gov/lwx/winter
for the latest snowfall accumulations.
Low pressure will pull away from the area during the day on
Wednesday, bringing an end to precipitation by the evening.
Temperatures through the period will remain below normal as cold air
advection wins out along with precipitation and ample cloud cover
affecting the region.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
High pressure will be building in from the west on Thursday. There
will still be a little moisture in the northwest flow aloft, so some
cloud cover could linger. It will also be breezy with high
temperatures 10-15 degrees below normal (40s for most areas).
The high will cross the area Friday and Friday night, and
temperatures will remain below normal.
The next low pressure system will be ejecting out of the Plains
toward the Mid Atlantic over the weekend. Although the system is
resolved in most guidance, there is still a wide spread for track
and timing, and thus thermal profiles. Will employ a generic
rain/snow forecast at this juncture based on blended model
temperatures.
&&
.AVIATION /08Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
VFR conditions will persist through much of the day today at all
terminals. MVFR/IFR VIS and CIGs expected to overtake the terminals
tonight as low pressure approaches from the south, bringing
precipitation from south to north starting this evening and continue
into the day on Tuesday. A break in precipitation Tuesday afternoon
could provide some improving conditions, but likely remain MVFR.
Another low pressure area poised to bring wintry precipitation to
the terminals Tuesday night and early Wednesday, resulting in
continued MVFR/IFR VIS and CIGs. Winds are expected to be east
southeast today, backing out of the north to northeast tonight,
remaining at 10 knots or less.
VFR conditions are expected Thursday into Friday as high pressure
builds into the area. Northwest winds may gust greater than 25 kt on
Thursday.
&&
.MARINE...
High pressure residing east of our waters today will promote winds
remaining below advisory criteria today. Low pressure will move
south of our area tonight and redevelop off the coast early Tuesday.
This will bring SCA conditions across our waters starting tonight. A
Gale Warning has been issued for the lower Chesapeake as the low
strengthens and passes to our east, delivering a strong pressure
gradient over the waters. Small Craft Advisories continue through
the day on Tuesday and will likely be required through the day on
Wednesday as another low pressure area approaches the waters from
the south.
The region will be in between departing low pressure and high
pressure to the west for Thursday and Friday. Small Craft Advisory
conditions in northwest flow will be most likely on Thursday, and
could linger into Friday on portions of the waters.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Two areas of low pressure will pass off the coast Tuesday and
Wednesday, resulting in prolonged onshore flow. Water levels
will be rising during this time, with minor flooding becoming
possible by Wednesday. Exact projections are still uncertain at
this time though.
&&

MD...None.
