Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
940 PM EDT Wed Sep 8 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong cold front will approach from the west today before
pushing through the area tonight into Thursday. A large area of
high pressure will then move overhead Friday into the weekend
before pushing offshore early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
...Update to include the Washington Metro area/portions of
northern Virginia into the Flash Flood Watch. The previous
discussion follows...

An upper-level trough will continue to dig over the Great Lakes
tonight while a cold front (currently over western Maryland)
moves into the area from the northwest.

A southerly flow has caused an unstable atmosphere with the
latest mesoanalysis showing around 1500-2500 MLCAPE near/east of
the Blue Ridge and Catoctin Mountains. Convergence near the Blue
Ridge and Catoctin Mountains is increasing in response to the
approaching cold front from the northwest and an outflow
boundary that was seen on KLWX radar moving southeast to
northwest earlier this evening. At the same time, deep layer
shear and low-level shear are increasing in response to the
digging trough and falling heights. Therefore, it is likely that
showers and heavier thunderstorms will develop near the Blue
Ridge and Catoctin Mountains of northern VA and north-central
Maryland this evening, before slowly propagating southeast. A
few severe storms are possible due to the instability and shear,
with damaging winds being the primary threat. A Severe
Thunderstorm Watch is in effect for portions of the eastern WV
panhandle, central MD, portions of northern VA, and the
Washington Metro area.

Also, with increasing moisture and a shear vector nearly
parallel to the approaching cold front, this suggests that
heavy rainfall from thunderstorms may train over any particular
area before the cold pool eventually takes over. A Flash Flood
Watch has been issued for central and northeastern MD as well as
northern Virginia and the Washington Metro area where
confidence is highest for the potential of training convection
and Flash Flood Guidance is lower.

The stronger convection will shift toward southern MD overnight,
but more showers will likely persist as the upper-level trough
approaches and large scale lift ensues  due to the right
entrance of the upper-level jet strengthening overhead and the
cold front still nearby.

Some patchy fog could occur, especially in western valleys late
tonight due to saturated low levels, although continued cloud
cover will likely limit its extent. Lows will be in the 60s for
most locations.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Still some uncertainty with how quickly the front slides to the
southeast on Thursday, possibly being held up by low pressure
developing along it. Continued to trend pops upward through
midday because of this. Little to no thunder is expected for
most areas since the surface boundary should be to the
southeast. Extensive cloud cover will persist until the
afternoon, especially east of the Blue Ridge. The upper trough
axis and a secondary boundary will approach from the northwest
late in the day. The highest chance for additional showers and
perhaps a thunderstorm will be across the Allegheny Front.
Downsloping should limit coverage to the east, but did add
isolated showers to the forecast since the trough axis will
strong. High temperatures will be limited to the mid 70s to
lower 80s.

Surface high pressure will build in from the west Thursday night
before becoming positioned overhead by Friday night. Dry and
pleasant weather is expected along with below normal
temperatures. Friday night will likely be coolest, with
widespread 50s and some 40s in outlying valleys.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A pretty benign pattern will remain over our region Saturday through
Monday as a near zonal upper level flow remains to our north while
Bermuda High pressure builds over the Mid-Atlantic and SE US.
A warming trend will being on Saturday as winds become more south to
southwesterly leading to increased advection of warm and moist air
into the region. Mostly dry conditions expected at this time through
Monday with afternoon temps trending up into the mid to upper 80s by
early next week.

An upper trough axis is forecast to form over central Canada and
drop down into the eastern half of Canada Tuesday into Wednesday.
Shortwaves moving through the flow ahead of the trough axis may
bring the next chance for precipitation on Tuesday. Afternoon temps
will be remain above normal in the mid to upper 80s.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Gusty southerly winds will continue through this evening as a
cold front approaches. Showers and storms will increase in
coverage through late this evening, and continue into the
overnight. Thunder chances should diminish late tonight behind a
cold front. Gusty winds and heavy rain are possible with these
storms.

The front will gradually cross late tonight with a wind shift
to the northwest and potential for MVFR ceilings. Some fog
could develop at MRB and CHO if skies clear, potentially IFR but
confidence for clearing is low. Showers and low ceilings should
depart Thursday morning, although clouds in general will be
slower to exit. An isolated shower could pop up in the late
afternoon in association with a trough axis, but coverage and
impacts should remain sparse.

High pressure will dominate over the terminals Friday into the weekend,
delivering VFR conditions and light southerly breezes at around
10 knots or less.

&&

.MARINE...
Southerly winds with SCA gusts will continue through this
evening. Strong to severe thunderstorms may require Special
Marine Warnings tonight, and possibly Thursday morning across
the southern portions of the waters. Winds will shift to the
northwest late tonight, although in this case, it should bring
an end to advisory conditions.

While winds remain light most of Thursday, a secondary front will
move through Thursday evening. SCA conditions will be possible
late Thursday into Friday, especially over the bay where
northerly winds channel.

High pressure will remain in place over our marine water with subSCA
conditions expected this weekend.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Southerly breezes continue to support above normal tidal
anomalies and the threat for minor tidal flooding to a number of
sites along the tidal Potomac and western shores of the
Chesapeake Bay. Locations in the northern parts of the bay, as
well as DC SW Waterfront, have the greatest chances of seeing
minor flooding. Advisories have been issued for the evening high
tide in these locations. Even though a cold front will cross
tonight, it is uncertain how quickly the anomalies will abate
since winds won't be strong, so additional threshold flooding
could occur early in the morning. A secondary surge of northwest
winds should help drive anomalies down further by Thursday
night.
