Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
254 PM EDT Mon Jun 11 2018
.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will surge continue to push to the south tonight
before high pressure settles overhead Tuesday. The high will
move offshore Wednesday and another cold front will pass through
Wednesday night into Thursday. High pressure may return for late
in the week into the weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A cold front will continue to drop to our south through tonight
while high pressure wedges south and west into our area from the
Atlantic. An onshore flow will allow for unusually cool
conditions with max temps in the 60s to around 70 degrees.
Steadier showers over the Potomac Highlands into central
Virginia will continue to push to the south through late this
afternoon as an upper-level ridge builds overhead from the
north.
For tonight, drier air will continue to work its way into the
area and this will allow for clearing skies for northeastern and
central areas. However, low clouds will hang on across the
Potomac Highlands into central Virginia...closer to the cold
front. Areas of light rain and drizzle are possible across these
areas as well, but it will not be a wash out. Elsewhere, dry
conditions are expected. Min temps will be in the 50s for most
locations. Patchy fog is expected late tonight, but there should
be enough dry air advection to prevent dense fog from
developing across most areas. A couple exceptions may be across
the ridge tops of the Potomac Highlands where low clouds will
cover the ridges, and perhaps the valleys of the Potomac
Highlands and central Virginia where higher dewpoints may lead
to patchy dense fog.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
High pressure off the New England and Mid-Atlantic Coast will
continue to wedge south and west into our area Tuesday. Most
areas will end up dry with some sunshine. However, more clouds
and perhaps a few showers will affect the Potomac Highlands into
central Virginia...closer to the stalled boundary. Even across
these locations, much of the time will be dry.
High pressure will shift offshore Tuesday night through
Wednesday. A return flow will allow for moisture to
return...resulting in low clouds Tuesday night into Wednesday
morning along with patchy fog and the potential for a few
showers. A southwest flow around the high will allow for low
clouds to give way to some sunshine Wednesday afternoon, and it
will turn out noticeably warmer and more humid. The humidity may
lead to a few showers and thunderstorms, but coverage should be
scattered due to the lack of a strong lifting mechanism.
A cold front will pass through the area Wednesday night and
drier air should begin to move in from the northwest.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
The frontal boundary will be south of the region by Thursday
afternoon, with high pressure building in behind it. Some
guidance suggests that the front takes a little bit longer to
push through the region, which could allow for some showers and
thunderstorms in the afternoon, especially in southern parts of
the region. High temperatures will be in the middle 80s, with
overnight lows in the low to middle 60s.
The forecast for Friday through Sunday is a bit uncertain at
this point. Overall, it looks to be dry much of that period.
However, the GFS keeps the aforementioned frontal boundary close
enough to the region for a chance at some afternoon
thunderstorms each day. The European shows the front being
pushed well to the south, thus keeping the region dry and clear
throughout the entire weekend. Will need to see more
consistency among models to make any changes in the weekend
forecast, so keeping chance POPs for that entire period. High
temperatures will generally be around average, with highs in
the middle 80s and lows in the low to middle 60s.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
High pressure will continue to build over the terminals through
tonight. MVFR cigs should gradually lift late this afternoon
through this evening from northeast to southwest. However, low
clouds may hang around at KCHO during this time. Patchy fog is
possible overnight, but latest thinking is that dry air
advection should prevent widespread dense fog from developing.
High pressure will remain overhead Tuesday before moving
offshore Tuesday night into Wednesday. Low clouds will return
Tuesday night into Wednesday along with the possibility for a
couple showers. A southwest flow will develop Wednesday
afternoon, and warmer conditions may lead to a couple
thunderstorms. Coverage should remain scattered. A cold front
will pass through Wednesday night and drier air will return
behind the boundary.
With high pressure building in Thursday into Friday, VFR conditions
are expected for most of the long term period. However, with a
lingering frontal boundary, some storms can not be ruled out on
Thursday or Friday. Some sub-VFR conditions would be a possibility
in this scenario.
&&
.MARINE...
High pressure will build toward the waters through Tuesday
before slowly moving offshore Tuesday night through Wednesday. A
Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for the middle portion of
the Bay and lower Tidal Potomac River through tonight, and for
portions of the waters near Smith Point through Tuesday morning.
High pressure will move offshore Tuesday night through
Wednesday. Winds should remain below SCA criteria for most
areas Tuesday night, but it will be close near Smith Point where
the gradient is a bit stronger farther from the departing high.
A Small Craft Advisory may be needed for portions of the waters
Wednesday through Wednesday night due to a return flow behind
the departing high and a passing cold front.
High pressure will approach Thursday before building overhead
Friday into Saturday. A Small Craft Advisory may be needed for
portions of the waters Thursday. Winds should remain below SCA
criteria for the most part on Friday and Saturday.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Anomalies remain elevated but under 1 foot this afternoon, but
an onshore flow should allow anomalies to increase a bit
tonight. Also, the high tide tonight into Tuesday morning will
be the higher of the two, and this will cause minor flooding for
sensitive areas. A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect for
Washington DC/Alexandria, Annapolis, and Straits Point, and an
advisory may be needed for Baltimore.
The onshore flow will persist through Tuesday night. More minor
flooding is possible, especially Tuesday night into Wednesday
morning during the higher of the two high tide cycles.
