Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
407 AM EDT Fri Aug 9 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
The remnants of Debby will move through the area today. High
pressure will gradually build into the area this weekend. A
couple weak disturbances could cross the area next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
The remnant low of Debby is now rapidly moving north (nearing Elkins
WV at 330 AM) as it becomes absorbed in a mid latitude trough.
Shield of heavy rain ahead of the low has been lifting across
western portions of the forecast area with more isolated bands
to the east as a dry slot moved in. Through the day, rain will
eventually become concentrated in the trailing surface
trough/cold front which will eventually move east by tonight.

The flash flood threat will remain present through the day due
to the tropical airmass and potential for training bands, but
the overall threat will be lower after the shield of heavy rain
lifts to the north. A Flood Watch remains in effect for much of
the area until 8 PM, but will likely be trimmed away as the
forcing gradually moves east. Additional watches are in effect
for the specific larger rivers.

A Tornado Watch remains in effect until 7 AM, although there is
a relative lull in the threat since there is a minimum of
convection where the best ingredients exist (closer to the I-95
corridor). There may be a renewed threat after sunrise across
the eastern half of the area as forcing for convection
increases.

Wind Advisory for the Blue Ridge will persist for a few more
hours with winds then gradually decreasing as the low pulls
away.

See section below for coastal flooding threats.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
By Saturday morning, the remnants of Debby are quickly absorbed by
an approaching upper trough to our north and ejected away from the
area. Gusty NW winds to around 20-25 mph will gradually diminish
through the day Saturday as the pressure gradient weakens. Clearing
skies and downsloping will allow temperatures to warm into the mid-
upper 80s east of the Blue Ridge by the afternoon. Lows will drop
into the 50s-60s for most, and hovering around 70 in the metros and
along the waters.

As an upper trough swings into the Northeast on Sunday, the
associated cold front will have already moved through the area and
begun ushering in a cooler and much drier air mass, keeping highs in
the 80s with dew points in the 50s to 60s through early next week.
Low temperatures will range from the 50s in the mountains to near 70
along the waters.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
An upper trough will remain over the Northeast through the extended
while surface high pressure builds in from the west. Highs in the
80s with dew points in the 50s to 60s continue early next week, and
gradually warm and moisten by late week. Low temperatures will range
from the 50s in the mountains to near 70 along the waters.

Mostly dry conditions persist during this period as high pressure
builds in from the west. As the upper trough continues eastward,
guidance suggests a series of shortwave troughs rounding the base of
the trough and digging southward. However, models vary significantly
on when to bring in the shortwave and to where. This uncertainty is
combined with lower PWATs and surface high pressure, so while some
showers are possible when a shortwave swings through, there won't be
much moisture to act on and high pressure could suppress it further.
Do have some slight chance PoPs at times in the extended to reflect
this possibility, and chance PoPS on Tuesday. Latest suite of
guidance has some agreement on the signal for Tuesday, but PWATs are
modest around 1.25". Models still favor greater chances for rain
later in the week.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Ceilings are expected to drop to IFR this morning. The remnants
of Debby will continue to move north of the area early this
morning, taking the more widespread heavy rain affecting CHO and
MRB with it. Additional showers will be in narrower bands that
are more difficult to time and place in the TAFs. However, the
best chance for a few thunderstorms seems to be during the
morning hours to perhaps mid afternoon in the Baltimore area.

Winds will be out of the south, and may gust to around 20-35
knots at times. Ceilings should finally improve back to MVFR
and then VFR during the afternoon into the evening from west to
east. Winds will turn from southerly to northwesterly as a cold
front moves through during the evening. VFR conditions and
northwesterly winds are expected on Saturday and Sunday.

VFR conditions are expected Monday and Tuesday. Westerly flow on
Monday becomes lighter and more N/NW Tuesday.

&&

.MARINE...
Winds will continue to increase northward up the bay as the
remnants of Debby track to the west of the waters. Gale Warnings
are in effect across all waters through this evening. Gusts up
to 40 knots out of the south to southeast will be possible
during that time, especially on the wider waters. Waterspouts
also can't be ruled out, especially during the morning until
early afternoon.

Winds will turn northwesterly behind a cold front tonight. SCA
conditions may linger for a time, but the potential seems to
have decreased some Saturday. A brief northerly surge is
possible Saturday night, but overall lighter winds are expected
through Sunday.

No hazardous marine conditions are expected through early next week
with light west to northwest flow over the waters and high pressure
building in from the west.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
The most widespread heavy rain will exit the area this morning,
but additional bands of locally heavy rain will continue through
the day. A fairly widespread 2-5 inches has fallen in locations
adjacent to the Blue Ridge and west, while heavy rain has been
more isolated to the east. Another couple inches are possible in
western areas through the morning. Areas of flash flooding
remain likely, eventually translating into some river flooding,
mainly minor.

Larger stem river flooding may continue into this weekend as
water filters down through the Potomac basin.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Water levels continue to rise in strong southerly winds ahead of
the remnants of Debby. Widespread minor flooding is likely to
occur again in most locations during the next two high tide
cycles (this morning, and this evening/tonight). So far, Coastal
Flood Warnings for moderate flooding are in effect for Anne
Arundel and Baltimore Counties, but a few more places (namely
Havre de Grace and DC SW Waterfront) may need to be added as the
surge overperforms, especially in the northern end of the bay.
The highest tide will likely be the one this morning in most
places with some decrease this evening. Water levels then start
decreasing rapidly early Saturday as the low pulls away.
