Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
359 AM EDT Wed Apr 14 2021

.SYNOPSIS...

Low pressure and its associated cold front will move across the
area Thursday afternoon. Weak high pressure will gradually build
over the region Friday and into early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...

Showers are expected to break out later this morning as heights
aloft fall and upper difluence increases ahead of an upper low
dropping from the Great Lks into the northern Mid-Atlc region.
At the surface, a low pressure center is expected to form over
srn VA tonight and move east of the area Thursday afternoon.
Showers will begin to taper off from west to east overnight
this evening as drier works its way into the area behind
exiting low pressure center. Areas of stratus and/or fog will
likely develop overnight due to light onshore flow and wet
soils.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...

Upper low over southwestern Ontario Thursday will move ESE
along the PA/NY border to srn New England by Fri afternoon.
Upslope rain showers are likely Thu, while east of the mtns,
strengthening NW downslope flow should discourage development of
showers. Showers over the mtns will turn into snow showers Thu
night with a coating to half inch of snow possible.

Upper low/trough axis crosses the area late Thu night with mid-
level subsidence/drying expected Fri into the weekend. However,
it will be cloudy, cool, and breezy with gusts 30-35 mph
possible.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

The blocked upper level flow pattern seen in the previous days will
begin to break down on Saturday, with quasi-zonal flow returning.
That being said, our region will reside under a fairly strong jet
streak into Saturday evening, with an impules of upper-level energy
also sliding by near/north of the area. Could expect to see some
showers on Saturday evening into Sunday as a result. Then another
piece of upper-level energy swings through Sunday, with yet anothe
rchance for rain showers.

The beginnning of next week brings a lot more uncertainty into the
forecast. The upper-level pattern remeturnains very active, with
both the polar and subtropical jets streams coming into play. Can't
rule out rain either day on Mon/Tue, so keeping chance POPs in there
until a timeframe can be better nailed down.

Temps during this period gradually warm from the mid 60s to upper
60s with overnight lows in the upper 30s (mountains) to mid 40s
(elsewhere).

High pressure should return to the region towards the middle of next
week.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...

Developing IFR cigs with showers this afternoon with LIFR
conditions cigs/vsbys possible overnight as showers exit.
Breezy/windy Thu night and Fri with bkn cigs 035.

VFR conditions expected Saturday amid a break in the shower action.
Off and on howers possible Saturday evening through Sunday though,
with some restrictions possible at times, but should remain mostly
VFR.

&&

.MARINE...

SCA conditions appear likely this evening over the lower and
middle Chesapeake Bay and lower Potomac River, and then, all
waters late Thursday through Friday night.

No marine hazards expected for the weekend as light winds are
expected over the waters. Off and on showers Saturday night through
Sunday though, but don't expect much in the way of wind from those
either.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...

Minor coastal flooding is expected at Annapolis and DC
Waterfront through Wed night before winds become NW Thursday.

&&

.LWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
DC...None.
MD...Coastal Flood Advisory until 10 AM EDT this morning for MDZ014.
     Coastal Flood Advisory until 7 AM EDT this morning for MDZ017.
