Area forecast discussion, Mar 24, 9:22 PM EDT, 3 hours 42 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
922 PM EDT Fri Mar 24 2023
.SYNOPSIS...
A backdoor cold front will meander south of the region into
early Saturday before lifting northward as a warm front on
Saturday. Low pressure will track from the Mississippi Valley
toward the Great Lakes tonight into Saturday. The cold front
attached to this system will push through later Saturday into
Saturday night. High pressure will build overhead on Sunday
before the next disturbance approaches the area early next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
Within the cold air damming/CAD wedge, much of the region is
socked in with low clouds and a series of showers and drizzle.
Based on the latest temperatures and wind fields, the frontal
boundary has settled into southern Virginia. North of the
boundary features temperatures in the 40s to low 50s accompanied
by general north to easterly winds.
The latest radar imagery depicts an enhanced band of showers
stretching from west to east along U.S. 50. Locally moderate
rainfall will accompany this band before drifting off toward the
south and east. In the wake, precipitation lightens while
turning into more of a drizzle over portions of the area.
Occasionally, echoes may perk up at times leading to some
measurable rainfall. Overnight temperatures do not budge much
within this stagnant air mass.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
The stalled front is expected to gradually return north as a
warm front on Saturday. Areas in central Virginia are most
likely to break out into the warm sector sooner, and may reach
the low to mid 70s by the afternoon. Further north near the
MD/PA border, temperatures likely don't get out of the 50s.
Meanwhile, a cold front attached to low pressure over the Great
Lakes will cross the Appalachians around midday, then reach the
Chesapeake Bay by nightfall. Gusty winds are likely behind the
front over the higher terrain, but lower elevations may struggle
to see much wind given low-level stability/wedge. Areas that
break into the warm sector could see enough instability for a
few stronger thunderstorms - this is most likely from central
Virginia to southern Maryland, but is highly conditional based
on (1) the stable wedge breaking, and (2) enough forcing in the
warm sector to trigger storm initiation.
Westerly winds being funneled between the ridgetops and a
temperature inversion just above the ridgeline may result in
gusty downslope winds Saturday night in the lee of the
Alleghenies. Elsewhere, low-level stability may tend to limit
the magnitude of the wind over lower elevations.
Downslope flow and clearing skies on Sunday likely lead to a
warm day with highs well into the 60s and possibly 70s east of
the mountains. Rain showers may approach the Appalachians late
Sunday night as a disturbance approaches from the Ohio Valley.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A disturbance will move east and a broad area of high pressure
across the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, and Tennessee Valley will
build into the region midday Monday through midday Wednesday.
Temperatures each afternoon will be seasonable.
The high pressure will move east to allow for a return flow to
develop Wednesday afternoon. Mild to warm temperatures should
develop and continue into the latter part of next week.
&&
.AVIATION /01Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Presently, most terminals are wavering between VFR and MVFR due
to the lower ceilings. GOES-16 nighttime imagery shows a mixture
of IFR to LIFR ceilings across central Virginia which includes
KCHO. The expectation is for the area to become blanketed in
lower ceilings through the night and into Saturday morning.
Conditions gradually clear out by mid to late Saturday
afternoon. Intermittent light rain, showers, and drizzle are
expected at times through midday Saturday, then a few heavier
showers or a thunderstorm are possible Saturday afternoon.
Northeasterly to southeasterly winds around 10 kts are expected
through Saturday morning, becoming southwesterly then westerly
Saturday night into Sunday as a cold front crosses. LLWS is
possible due to low-level stability beneath a strengthening LLJ
along the front, but as this stability erodes some surface gusts
are possible (generally 15-25 kts).
VFR conditions are then expected through Monday night. Winds
northeast 5 to 10 knots gusts 15 knots Monday, diminishing
Monday night into Tuesday.
&&
.MARINE...
Northeasterly winds will gradually become southeasterly through
Saturday, then westerly through Sunday as a frontal system
crosses. Intermittent rain and showers are expected. Gusts
around 20 kts are expected over the upper tidal Potomac River
and Chesapeake Bay late tonight through Saturday, with
additional gustiness possible Saturday night into Sunday. A
couple thunderstorms can't be ruled out Saturday afternoon.
No marine hazards are expected Monday through Tuesday.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Onshore flow will cause elevated tide levels possibly resulting
in near minor flooding through Saturday. A cold front will cross
by Saturday evening turning winds offshore.
