Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
310 PM EDT Wed Sep 15 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Weak cold front approaches from the west through Thursday while
stalling through the weekend. Low pressure will develop offshore of
the Carolina coast Thursday into Friday and likely remain a couple
hundred miles offshore as it moves northward. High pressure should
dominate beginning late Saturday into early next week.&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
Some popup showers are beginning to form in the cumulus field ahead
of a trough and associated cold front that will be pushing further
eastward throughout the day. Convective potential for the day looks
to be situated across eastern WV panhandle and central/western MD.
Convection should continue to be initiated through 5-6pm from west
to east towards the Blue Ridge Mountains. With surface temperatures
increasing to the upper 80s to low 90s with dewpoints in the upper
60s to low 70s. This, along with 1500-2000 j/kg MLCAPE, 0-6km shear
of 15 to 20 knots and slight height falls will allow for some storms
to potentially become severe across the aforementioned areas. As for
confidence, it remains low with the ingredients for severe switching
main driving mechanisms across the western portions of the area from
high CAPE (18-21z) to low shear and vice versa after 21z.

Most convection should be confined west of the Blue Ridge with a lot
of low-to-mid level dry air in place, as seen in the 12z IAD
sounding. With mid-to-upper level divergence present in the right
entrance of a jet streak across PA, a line of training showers and
storms may be situated near and east of I-81 if any. MBE Corfidi
vector is a lot slower for the afternoon hours. Thus, if any
potential hydro issue prevails, this would be the most likely area
of interest. PWAT values around 1.5 to 1.8 inches are prevalent
along the main moisture front. FFG is low across the Shenandoah
Valley (lack of moisture today across there) and parts of NE MD
(concerning for potential flood threat). With only an isolated
threat for flooding, a flood watch is not expected at this time with
the threat being marginal in nature.

Showers and some isolated thunderstorms will linger from west to
east late tonight into the overnight hours. Moisture will linger
around as the cold front moves eastward overnight with areas drying
out from SW to NE briefly.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
The lingering cold front will stick around and weaken during the day
on Thursday. An area of low pressure off the Carolinas may develop
Thursday and begin to push further north just to our east offshore.
This low will be quite unwound (similar to when a
hurricane/tropical storm weakens) and will eventually allow moisture
from it to make it into our eastern areas as onshore flow returns
for the region. Another feature of interest that could potential
cause hazards is the remnants of TD Nicholas, as its moisture plume
congeals with the frontal boundary situated across much of the
eastern US. This, along with the weakening front will allow for
continued chances for showers and thunderstorms, mainly in the
afternoon daytime heating hours for both Thursday and Friday. For
now, expect severe potential to remain low for the period with lack
of convective parameters intensity. Hydro threat remains non-zero
but confidence is low in terms of timing and intensity with multiple
features of interest that will continue to evolve over the next
several hours.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As a tropical disturbance offshore the mid-Atlantic pulls away
further out to sea, high pressure will slowly build into the region
Saturday through Tuesday. There could be a couple of showers or
perhaps a thunderstorm or two until that time on Saturday. Tropical
moisture from the east will fuel such convection with the help of
some instability. Temperatures will top out in the 80s all four days
with Sunday possibly being the warmest on the subsidence side of the
offshore tropical disturbance. Sunday will top out in the upper 80s.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Showers and thunderstorms will be possible across KMRB through the
afternoon period until around 1z tonight before conditions begin to
improve. Showers will continue to track further east with
IAD/DCA/BWI/MTN all having shower potential from around 22-23z
through 3-4z as the initial boundary moves through.

Visibilities begin to decrease at around 6z across KMRB and KCHO and
will continue to decrease with KMRB potentially reaching less than
2SM through 14z with some patchy dense fog possible. Visibility
restriction possible across all terminals besides KDCA.

Patchy fog and/or lower ceilings will likely become a recurring
theme each of the next few nights due to the humid airmass and an
ensuing onshore/easterly flow beginning Thursday. Additional shower
and thunderstorm chances will exist, primarily during the afternoon
and evening hours each day through week's end.

Areas of low clouds and fog/drizzle are possible during the
overnight and morning hours each day this weekend, and IFR or sub-
IFR conditions may occur. A few showers are possible across the
terminals Saturday afternoon, but coverage should be isolated or
widely scattered.

A brief shower or thunderstorm near the terminals;
otherwise, VFR conditions Saturday through Sunday night. Winds
northwest 5 knots Saturday and Saturday night, becoming north 5 to
10 knots Sunday and Sunday night.

&&

.MARINE...
A few showers and thunderstorms may approach the waters this evening
with winds gusting 20 to 25 knots, SCA's are already in place across
much of the waters.

Additional shower and thunderstorm chances will arise primarily
during the afternoon and evening hours Thursday and Friday. The wind
outside of convection will turn easterly during this time, with
gusts to near Small Craft Advisory criteria possible Friday, mainly
over the middle portion of the Chesapeake Bay. Fog, some dense, is
possible during the overnight hours, especially Friday night.

High pressure will build toward the waters for the weekend, and
winds should remain below Small Craft Advisory criteria most of the
time. Areas of dense fog are possible during the early morning hours
Saturday and again for Sunday. A shower or thunderstorm is possible
Saturday.

No marine hazards expected Saturday through Sunday night. Winds
northwest 10 knots Saturday becoming north 5 to 10 knots Saturday
night through Sunday night.&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Southerly flow will increase today into tonight ahead of a weak cold
front. This will continue to cause elevated water levels. Minor
flooding for sensitive areas is possible during the high tide cycle
tonight. The flow will weaken for Thursday, and anomalies should
fall a bit, but water levels will likely still be above astronomical
norms.

&&

     Thursday for MDZ014.
