What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this small craft advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Baltimore/Washington wrote its last area forecast discussion before this small craft advisory went out at Jan 7, 9:11 PM EST, 6 hours 34 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 7, 9:11 PM EST, 6 hours 34 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
911 PM EST Thu Jan 7 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will track from the Deep South toward the Carolina
coastline overnight into tomorrow. High pressure will slowly
build back in this weekend, and remain overhead through the day
Monday. Low pressure will track toward the area from the Gulf
Coast states later Monday Night into Tuesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
High pressure will remain to our north while low pressure tracks
through the southeastern CONUS. The closed upper-level low
associated with this system will track through the Tennessee
Valley overnight, causing high and mid-level clouds to increase.

Winds should remain light out of the north, but some spots will
decouple. Lows tonight will drop back into the 20s in most
spots.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
A closed upper low and associated surface low will track to our
south during the day tomorrow. Guidance is in good agreement
that this area of low pressure will stay well to our south,
moving off the Carolina coastline. With the low tracking well
to the south, most, if not all of the precipitation will be
suppressed off to our south as well. Still have maintained
slight chance PoPs from central VA to southern MD, but overall
chances for precip even there look like they're decreasing.
Even if some light precip were to occur over these areas, it
would occur as a light rain/snow mix, and little to no
accumulation would occur. Overall, tomorrow looks like a cloudy,
chilly day, with highs in the 30s for most. Highs could reach
into the lower 40s if some sunny breaks make it into northern
portions of the forecast area.

Low pressure will track offshore tomorrow night, allowing high
pressure to slowly build in from the west on Saturday. Sunny
skies are expected, along with highs in the 40s for most. Wind
chills will hold in the 30s through, with northerly winds
gusting to around 15-20 mph.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
High pressure will remain in place over our region Sunday through
Monday with seasonable high temperatures in the 40s and overnight
lows in the 20s and lower 30s. The weather pattern starts to change
on Tuesday as the high pressure over our region shifts off the coast
late Monday and into early Tuesday. A coastal low over the SE US
will move northeastward along the eastern seaboard late Monday and
through Tuesday. The coastal low will likely impact our region on
Tuesday with the current track having the coastal low moving through
the southern parts of Virginia and northern North Carolina. There
remains a lot of uncertainty with this system at this time. There is
potential that our region could see areas of rain, wintry mix and
snow all in one storm. We will need to continue to monitor how the
track of the storm and the strength of the upper trough change over
the coming days to determine the winter threat for our region.

The coastal system should move out of our region by Wednesday and
high pressure returns for the middle parts of next week. High
temperatures are expected to be in the 40s with overnight lows in
the upper 20s and low 30s on Wednesday.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
VFR conditions are expected at all terminals through Saturday.
Conditions are expected to remain dry at all terminals as well,
but there is still a slight chance for a brief period of light
rain or snow tomorrow at CHO.

Winds will be out of the north and relatively light through
tomorrow. The northerly winds will pick up a bit tomorrow night
into Saturday, with gusts up to 20 knots possible on Saturday.

VFR conditions expected Sunday and Monday with subVFR conditions
possible Tuesday as a coastal low potentially impacts our
region.

&&

.MARINE...
Winds will remain light out of the north tonight into the day
tomorrow, but should pick up again tomorrow night into the day
Saturday. Small Craft Advisories will likely be needed during
the day Saturday, and may be needed tomorrow night as well.

Northerly channeling winds on Sunday and Monday may lead to the need
for Small Craft Advisories. A coastal low on Tuesday may bring
another chance for SCA conditions to our waters.
