Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
300 PM EDT Sun Jun 8 2025
.SYNOPSIS...
A warm frontal boundary and area of low pressure will lift northward
across the region today. A stronger cold front set to follow
late Monday night into Tuesday.Weak high pressure builds in
Wednesday and Thursday before another series of fronts moves in late
week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
Early afternoon satellite imagery and observations show the warm
front has lifted north on its western flank, now sitting just south
of Pittsburgh. The wavy front stretches southeast into western MD
and generally south/east along the Potomac River. Additional
northward movement of the front is possible along I-66/US-50 into
central MD. There is uncertainty regarding destabilization across
far northern MD into northeast MD where light rain continues to
maintain a steady cold pool in that area. Breaks in the clouds
across the DC Metro will increase the risk for severe storms there
as the second round of convection develops/moves in later today.
Earlier this afternoon, several shallow thunderstorms developed
along the warm front in central VA from Warrenton to north of
Fredericksburg. Rotation was observed in many of these cells,
indicative of a favorable kinematic and thermodynamic environment.
As mentioned, another round of thunderstorms is expected later this
afternoon to evening. A broken line of storms has developed in
central WV, and these will push eastward into our area. A Tornado
Watch has been issued along/east of the I-81 corridor to the DC
Metro and points south through 10 PM.
Areas that see multiple rounds of heavy showers/thunderstorms will
be susceptible to instances of flooding, especially in areas that
have seen high rainfall amounts over the past few weeks. A Flood
Watch remains in effect through this evening for portions of the
Shenandoah Valley, Potomac Highlands, and Alleghenies.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms linger along/east of US-15 late
this evening, then most of that convection moves out of the area
during the early overnight hours. Mild conditions tonight as lows
settle in the mid to upper 60s.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
In wake of the departing shortwave trough, some weak subsidence looks
to keep our area dry for the start of Monday. Abundant low stratus
and patchy Monday morning will be slow to burn off, with a mix of
and clouds for the afternoon. Some remnants of the stalled frontal
boundary remain over the area through Tuesday. As another upper
trough approaches from the west Monday afternoon, expect rain
chances to increase slowly from west to east. The highest coverage
of showers and some thunderstorms looks to be Monday evening into
Tuesday morning, especially over the northern half of the area where
the stalled frontal boundary remains.
A cold front sweeps through the area Tuesday afternoon, bringing dry
conditions by sunset. High temperatures to start the week will be in
the upper 70s to lower 80s, with overnight lows in the 60s.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Drying out midweek with lower humidity as weak 1020-1024 mb high
pressure builds back over the region. High temperatures Wednesday
will climb back into the mid 80s before heading for the 90 degree
mark Thursday afternoon. Overnight lows will fall back into the
upper 50s and low 60s Wednesday night before climbing into the low
to mid 60s Thursday night as high pressure slides east of the
region. Humidity will also increase during this time under south to
southeasterly return flow .
Meanwhile, will continue to watch the progression of a slow moving
front dropping south from the Great Lakes region. This front is in
association with an upper level trough and a myriad of low pressure
systems ejecting out of southeast Canada and the Ohio River Valley.
Flow aloft remains fairly zonal as upper level ridging/high pressure
off the southeast U.S coast is slow to buckle Friday into the start
of the weekend. The ridge eventually buckles as the high/upper level
ridge slides further off the southeast U.S coast and high pressure
over west-central Ontario pushes the encroaching front south before
stalling it over the region. There is some uncertainty in regards to
where the front stalls over the region with the bulk of the current
12z guidance shunting the boundary along the PA/MD line. By Sunday,
the front sinks south into central VA continuing to act as a
catalyst for widespread shower and thunderstorm development.
For now, have kept PoPs capped less than 25 percent on Friday due in
part to the slow buckling of the upper level ridge off the southeast
coast. Widespread PoPs of 50 to 70 percent are likely both Saturday
and Sunday afternoon as the front stalls overhead and multiple
pieces of shortwave energy push through. Severe weather could also
be a concern during this time with CSU probabilities running a broad
brush of 5 percent probabilities for severe weather on both Day 7
and Day 8. CIPS also runs 10-15 percent probabilities for severe
weather across the area during this time. Flooding may also be an
issue given the warm/moist advection pooling up against the stalled
front. It may not be until the middle of next week before the front
clears the area. Highs will surge into the upper 80s and low 90s
Friday with heat indices potentially in the mid 90s given the added
humidity. Temperatures fall back into the low to mid 80s Saturday
and upper 70s and low 80s Sunday with the stalled front nearby.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Multiple rounds of showers and/or t-storms are expected today with
the terminals having the best chance of t-storms in the 21-24Z time
frame. CHO will have the greatest risk of t-storms with another
round likely after 00z potentially lasting well through the evening
hours.
Convection exits the area this evening, then IFR to possible LIFR
conditions develop as low clouds and patchy fog ensue.
These clouds linger through most of Monday morning, then VFR
conditions return. Another round of showers and thunderstorms are
forecast for Monday evening into Tuesday morning, with sub-VFR
conditions possible.
A cold front sweeps through Tuesday afternoon bringing dry and VFR
conditions.
VFR conditions are expected Wednesday and Thursday with high
pressure overhead. West to northwest winds are expected Wednesday
with gusts up to 20 kts. Winds turn to the south Thursday while
becoming lighter as high pressure is slow to push offshore. VFR
conditions continue Friday with a pop up shower or thunderstorm
mainly west of the corridor terminals. Sub-VFR conditions are
possible at times this upcoming weekend with a stalled front nearby.
&&
.MARINE...
A warm front lifts north through the area this afternoon, then
stalls. Multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected to
move across the local waters this afternoon and evening. Strong to
severe storms are likely, producing wind gusts in excess of 35-40
knots, large hail, and frequent lightning strikes. A waterspout or
two is also possible.
Small Craft Advisories are in effect this afternoon to evening along
and north of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge where easterly winds along
the warm front gust to around 20 knots.
Winds decrease tonight and remain below SCA levels through the start
of the week. Though, there could be a brief period of SCA conditions
again on Tuesday. Another round of showers and thunderstorms moves
across the waters Monday evening into Tuesday, and this could
produce hazards to mariners from gusty winds and lightning strikes.
A cold front moves across the area Tuesday night.
Marginal west to northwest SCA conditions look to continue Wednesday
as high pressure settles back into the region. Winds will turn
lighter and back to the south Wednesday night into Thursday as high
pressure drifts east. Sub SCA level winds continue into Friday
before marginal SCA conditions return this weekend with a stalled
front nearby.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Onshore winds through Tuesday morning will continue to maintain
elevated tide levels in the Chesapeake Bay and tidal Potomac River.
Minor coastal flooding is possible at the higher diurnal high tide
in Annapolis, with most other stations reaching Action Stage. A cold
front brings offshore winds in its wake Tuesday afternoon, likely
lowering tide levels in the area.
