SYNOPSIS. High pressure will build along the Mid-Atlantic coast tonight and Tuesday. A strong cold front will cross the area Wednesday. Canadian high pressure will build to our west Wednesday night through Thursday before settling to the south late in the week. Low pressure may affect the area over the weekend.
NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/.
Isold-sct showers over the nw part of the CWA are expected to fizzle out by midnight leaving a mild night in store with increasing clouds from west to east around daybreak.
SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/. The potent upper-level trough will dig overhead Wednesday through Wednesday night. The surface low associated with this will strengthen and track to our north while a cold front passes through our area Wednesday before moving offshore Wednesday evening The timing of the front. crossing the Blue Ridge around midday . will not allow much instability to build ahead of it. There will be enough, however, when combined with the strong linear forcing and strong shear, for a line of low topped convection to form somewhere between the Blue Ridge and Chesapeake Bay. Faster timing would likely result in a more eastward intensification and lower severe risk. All in all, the Marginal Risk from SPC adequately represents the potential for localized strong to damaging gusts with these showers/embedded storms.
West winds will increase behind the front with falling temperatures. Frequent gusts around 25 to 40 mph are expected. The cold advection and upslope flow will bring some snow showers for locations along and west of the Allegheny Front later Wednesday morning and afternoon. Snow may coat the ground along the ridge tops.
Cold advection will continue Wednesday night with the upper trough overhead. A few upslope snow showers may continue but additional accumulations will be minor. Cold advection temperature forecasts are tricky since often models take temperatures too low too quickly when winds remain elevated due to downsloping effects off the mountains. For the time being, have issued a Freeze Watch for the Shenandoah Valley where confidence is higher for subfreezing conditions. Headlines may need to be expanded upon further analysis.
The upper-level trough will remain overhead Thursday while low pressure slowly tracks into the Canadian Maritimes. Gusty northwest winds are expected and highs will only be in the 40s/50s. A few rain/snow showers could persist in the Appalachains. Winds will diminish Thursday night as the upper- level trough departs and high pressure builds nearby to the south and west. Additional frost/freeze headlines may be needed with a better radiational component to the cooling.
LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/. A brief mid-level ridge will move towards the region Friday. As heights rise, the column will warm leading to surface temperatures 10-12 degrees warmer than Thursday. This coupled with surface high pressure will result in sunny skies and a seasonable Spring day.
An upper-level trough will move from the central Plains to the East Coast by Saturday night. At the surface, a region of low pressure will track from the Four Corners region towards the local area. Ensemble guidance varies with exact track of low pressure Saturday night east of the Appalachians, but a track either through the region or southeast along the coast is most likely. Strong winds and a soaking rain are supported by nearly all guidance. Given preceding dry conditions, widespread flooding is currently not anticipated, though rises in local streams are possible. The severe thunderstorm threat appears to be minimal due to stable conditions with the current low track.
As the low moves to the northeast Sunday morning, a few rain showers could linger. Drying out later Sunday as an upper-level ridge approaches and surface high pressure builds. High pressure will linger into Monday keeping conditions dry. Temperatures Sunday into Monday will be in the mid-upper 60s, which is below normal for late April.
AVIATION /01Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/. VFR conditions are expected through tonight. An isolated shower is possible tonight, but most of the time will be dry.
A strong cold front will pass through Wednesday. For now, have included a couple hours of SHRA with the exception of MRB and CHO, where coverage may be more scattered. While there will be a larger window for the potential of a shower, ultimately a strongly forced line of low topped convection could develop near the I-95 corridor that would be brief, but could contain a heavy downpour and strong winds. Added VCTS to BWI/MTN where the chance of a thunderstorm nearby is highest. VFR conditions are expected outside of any heavier showers.
A wind shift from the south and southwest to the northwest will accompany the frontal passage and gusts around 25 to 35 knots are expected behind the boundary midday Wednesday into the afternoon.
Gusty winds will continue through Thursday (although winds may diminish for a brief period late Wednesday night) before diminishing Thursday night as high pressure builds nearby.
VFR conditions at the terminals Friday into at least Saturday morning. Sub-VFR conditions become possible Saturday afternoon into Sunday morning due to low clouds and rain.
MARINE. An SCA is in effect overnight for the Bay as well as the lower Tidal Potomac River.
A strong cold front will pass through the waters around midday, and gusty northwest winds are expected behind the boundary. Have issued a Gale Warning for the entire day, although winds may not fully ramp up until later in the afternoon. Strong wind gusts may also occur with a line of showers and thunderstorms along the front. Winds will diminish some Wednesday night before picking back up Thursday. Have left the Gale Watch in effect for these time periods, with the current thinking that it may ultimately be a high end SCA.
High pressure will build to the south and west Thursday night, and winds will diminish, but an SCA may still be needed for portions of the waters.
SCA conditions could last into the day Friday. As the winds become southerly on Saturday, they will increase and SCA conditions become possible.
