Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
324 PM EDT Tue Sep 28 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will progress through the area later this evening. High
pressure will build overhead during the middle to latter portions of
the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
Showers/thunderstorms associated with the passage of a prominent mid-
level shortwave this morning are now situated off to our south and
east. A cirrus shield remains across much of the forecast area in
the wake of this activity, but enough breaks in the cloud cover have
developed to get some surface heating/boundary layer
destabilization. After being capped for much of the morning,
SPC mesoanalysis now indicates that little inhibition remains
for surface based parcels across far northern MD. Large scale
forcing for ascent is minimal in the wake of this morning's
shortwave passage, and there aren't any well defined surface
boundaries either, outside of the cold front which currently
extends across central PA.

All CAMs really struggled with the evolution of the largely elevated
convection this morning, so not much stock is being placed in
00/12z CAM solutions which had relatively higher areal coverage
of storms this afternoon and much lower areal coverage of the
elevated convection this morning. With no strong surface
convergence across the area, westerly flow in the boundary
layer, and little in the way of large scale forcing for ascent,
the expectation is that areal coverage of storms this afternoon
will be rather low, and primarily confined to east of the Blue
Ridge. As a result, POPs have been lowered for this afternoon.
One feature that may ultimately serve as a focus for development
of thunderstorms this afternoon is a tongue of higher moisture
at 850 hPa and 925 hPa evident on SPC mesoanalysis to the south
of the frontal boundary. This zone of slightly higher quality
boundary layer moisture is located just to the north of the
Mason- Dixon Line currently and should translate toward the
south over time. Some agitated cumulus is evident on satellite
close to this feature, but some stable mountain waves are as
well, suggesting that weak capping may exist. Eventually,
isolated to widely scattered showers and thunderstorms are
expected to develop within this zone as well as along the
surface cold front as they drop southward through the area.
MLCAPE values are expected to increase to around 1500-200 J/kg,
and effective shear values will be around 20-30 knots, so some
organized multicells may be possible. Mid-level lapse rates will
be well above normal for the Mid-Atlantic, with values
generally between 7 and 8 C/km. With these mid-level lapse rates
in place and very cool air aloft, large hail may also be a
threat in addition to damaging winds in any well-established
storms.

Storms will quickly dissipate after dark as the surface cold
front presses southward through the area. Winds will turn
northerly and temperatures overnight will drop into the 50s for
most.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
A quiet stretch of weather is expected during the short term period.
The overall pattern at upper levels will remain rather stagnant
tomorrow through Thursday, with an upper low centered over New
England and a narrow, but high amplitude ridge off to our west,
extending from Florida northward to Hudson Bay. This will
maintain deep layer north-northwesterly flow between the two
features. North- northwesterly flow will transport relatively
cool and dry air into the region, and our positioning on the
backside of the trough/ frontside of the ridge will maintain
large scale subsidence overhead. As a result, high pressure at
the surface will slowly build southward toward our area from the
Great Lakes. Mostly sunny skies are expected both days, along
with slightly below normal temperatures. Highs will reach into
the upper 60s/low 70s, and lows will bottom out in the 40s and
lower 50s.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
On Friday a cut off low over New England will gradually shift
further northward as upper level ridging over the Midwest traverses
eastward. As a result, surface high pressure remains in control of
the region through the majority of the weekend. The ridge will then
begin to break down some late this weekend into early next week as
high pressure shifts offshore. As the upper level pattern becomes
more zonal, weak shortwave energy will be allowed to track eastward,
resulting in a weak wave of low pressure to pass north of our area.
Some differences in timing and placement of this low in the
deterministic guidance, which is typical this far out. Therefore
while conditions are expected to remain dry for the majority of the
weekend, chances for showers arise for Sunday and Monday.
Temperatures are expected to remain seasonable for this time of
year, with daytime highs in the low to mid 70s and overnight lows in
the 50s.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Prevailing VFR conditions are expected at the terminals through
Thursday. The only potential weather concern over the next few days
will be the potential for thunderstorms this afternoon and evening.
Confidence is decreasing with respect to thunderstorm formation this
afternoon and evening. Still think that there will be some activity
around, but potentially with lesser areal coverage than was
previously expected. As a result the VCTS has been removed from IAD
and CHO. Any storms that do form will wind down this evening.

A cold front will push through the terminals tonight, causing winds
to turn out of the north. Light north to northwesterly winds and VFR
conditions are expected on both Wednesday and Thursday.

&&

.MARINE...
Prevailing sub-SCA level winds are expected during the day today.
Showers and thunderstorms are expected to form later this
afternoon/evening. These storms may be capable of producing both
strong winds and hail. As a result SMWs may be needed this afternoon
and evening. SCA level winds out of the north are expected in the
wake of a cold front later tonight through the first half of
tomorrow. Sub-SCA conditions are expected tomorrow afternoon
through Thursday as high pressure builds in from the north.

No marine hazards expected Friday and Saturday with high pressure in
control. As a result, expect generally light WNW winds during this
time. North/northwesterly winds become more variable by Saturday as
the center of the surface ridge crosses through.
