Fxus61 klwx 220138 afdlwx area forecast discussion national weather service baltimore md washington dc 938 pm edt Tue aug 21 2018 Synopsis A warm front will lift north across the mid-atlantic this afternoon, followed by a cold front moving west to east tonight. A secondary cold front will follow Wednesday. Strong high pressure will build in from the ohio valley Thursday, then cross the region Friday into the weekend. Near term until 6 am Wednesday morning A weak boundary remains over northern maryland this evening and a south to southwest flow throughout the lower and upper- levels of the atmosphere has ushered in plenty of moisture across the entire area. The deep moisture along with warm conditions led to an unstable atmosphere this afternoon and evening. Forcing from an upper-level disturbance along with boundaries from convection caused plenty of showers and thunderstorms during this time. The upper-level disturbance is passing through the area this evening, and this system will be the focal point for the heavier showers and thunderstorms along with the weak surface boundary. The most widespread activity will be across north-central and northeastern maryland (near the weak surface boundary) with isolated and scattered convection possible elsewhere. Drier air and subsidence will continue to work its way across our area from west to east overnight behind the upper-level disturbance. This will cause convection to dissipate. Warm and humid conditions will persist overnight ahead of an approaching cold front from the great lakes. Patchy fog and low clouds are possible as well. Do think a tightening gradient will keep fog more patchy instead of widespread, despite the recent rainfall and high dewpoints. Lows tonight will be in the 60s 70s. Short term 6 am Wednesday morning through Thursday night A secondary shortwave and associated surface cold front will cut across the great lakes and then traverse the mid-atlantic on Wednesday. Low-level flow should be northwesterly by this time, reducing the risk of deeper convection, but gusty showers seem plausible given the potency of the upper wave. Highs will range from 80 to 85f. After the passage of this secondary front, a strong late summer high pressure system will build in from the ohio valley on Thursday. High temperatures will only reach the upper 70s to around 80f with lows Thursday night falling into the 50s 60s. Long term Friday through Tuesday On Friday, a high pressure system will be in be in place over the region. Winds will be light out of the west to northwest. Skies will remain mostly clear. Day time temperatures will be mild in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Saturday into Sunday, a weak shortwave trough will move through the region over the weekend. High pressure is expected to be in place over most of the region with a westerly flow. The westerly flow will lead to up slope flow on the west side of the mountains. The best chance for precipitation will be on the western side of the blue ridge. The westerly flow will help keep most areas dry through out our region. Day time temperatures will rise up into the low to mid 80s on Saturday and into the mid to upper 80s on Sunday. On Monday, a large broad upper level 500mb ridge will be in place over the eastern united states. Skies will be mostly clear with temperature reaching the upper 80s to low to mid 90s. Winds will be west to southwesterly. Aviation 02z Wednesday through Sunday Showers and thunderstorms across the northeastern terminals and kcho will dissipate overnight behind an upper-level disturbance. Patchy fog is possible overnight into early Wednesday due to the recent rainfall and high dewpoints. However, latest thinking is that fog will be patchy and not widespread due to a

strengthening pressure gradient, causing light winds to persist overnight. A popup shower or thunderstorm is possible later Wednesday morning and afternoon, but coverage will be isolated scattered due to drier air moving in from the north and west. For Thursday and Friday, high pressure will be in place leading to light winds out of the north and mostly clear skies.VFR conditions expected. On Saturday, a weak boundary will try to approach from the west. A westerly flow will limit moisture levels and focus any precip that develops to the western side of the blue ridge. Winds will be light out of the west with mostly clear skies.VFR condtions expected. Marine Small craft advisory is in effect into Wednesday morning for portions of the tidal potomac and middle and lower chesapeake bay. Winds should be largely sub-sca on Wednesday, but gusty showers are possible Wednesday as well as a secondary cold front crosses. A surge of northerly winds is expected again Wednesday night and a SCA has been issued. Sub-sca conditions are then expected Thursday through Saturday. Tides coastal flooding Onshore flow has promoted tidal anomalies between 1 and 2 feet, which will likely be maintained as southerly flow increases ahead of a cold front. Coastal flood advisories have been issued for most locations along the western shore of the bay and upper tidal potomac river overnight into Wednesday morning. Will have to keep an eye on havre de grace, but winds will be turning more westerly toward the time of high tide Wednesday morning. Therefore, an advisory has not been issued at this time. Will also have to watch for possible moderate flooding at annapolis, but with the winds turning more west of south overnight... Confidence was too low for a warning.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
