Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 307 PM EST Thu Feb 20 2020

SYNOPSIS. Low pressure will pass out to sea well to the south tonight. High pressure will build in from the central United States through the weekend. A couple of low pressure systems will follow during the first half of next week.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/. Latest analysis shows a southern stream low over the western Florida Panhandle, and a northern stream mid/upper trough moving southward across Pennsylvania. The southern stream low will move offshore of the Carolinas tonight, and the northern edge of its precipitation field may clip portions of central Virginia to southern Maryland with mainly light scattered snow showers or flurries. A dusting may result. Further north, the northern stream trough likely touches off some scattered flurries or possibly a snow shower this evening, but little to no accumulation is expected overall.

Temperatures will take a tumble after midnight as northerly winds behind the departing systems gust 20 to 30 MPH.

SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/. High pressure will build into the region Friday into Friday night. This high is of Arctic origin, so below normal temperatures are expected. Brisk conditions are likely Friday morning before winds diminish through the afternoon hours.

Radiational cooling is likely Friday night with a clear sky, light winds and a dry air mass. The low temperature forecast for Friday night may need to be adjusted downward in subsequent forecast updates.

Temperatures will moderate Saturday as the core of the transient cold air mass pulls away.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/. High pressure will be in control Sunday. Dry conditions and mild temperatures are expected with plenty of sun. High pressure moves offshore Sunday night to allow for a southerly flow ahead of a low pressure system over the Middle Mississippi Valley.

Monday should start out dry with a continuation of mild temperatures as the southerly flow increases. Midday into the afternoon, clouds and rain chances will likely increase.

Rain chances linger Monday night into Tuesday as an associated cold front extending from the low pressure system moves across the region. Temperatures should be average at best with the additional cloud cover and rain showers. Model thicknesses suggest a little sleet could mix in at the onset, especially over the higher terrain.

Models are indicating that the cold front could slow its forward progress or perhaps stall to the east of our region Wednesday. This could set the stage for more unsettled weather. The 12Z ECMWF and some ensemble members develop another area of moderately strong low pressure near or over our area.

Once the front moves to our east, another strong cold high pressure will build in, likely bringing dry conditions and below normal temperatures once again later next week.

AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/. VFR expected through the TAF period. A scattered snow shower may approach CHO through 01Z. A flurry can't be ruled out further north, but visibility restrictions are not anticipated on a widespread or persistent basis (though some upstream observations in Pennsylvania have briefly dropped to IFR).

Northerly flow will increase late this evening after 03Z through just after daybreak, gusting 20 to 25 knots. Winds will gradually diminish through the day Friday. Mainly VFR is expected to persist through the weekend with generally light westerly flow.

VFR conditions expected Sunday. Sub-VFR possible Monday.

MARINE. A flurry or snow shower can't be ruled out this evening. Light northeast flow will become north late this evening and begin gusting 20 to 30 knots. Gusty winds will persist until just after daybreak Friday before gradually diminishing through the day as high pressure builds in.

Light westerly flow and dry conditions are expected Saturday as high pressure continues to build overhead.

No marine hazards are expected Sunday into Monday, though winds may begin increasing ahead of approaching low pressure by Monday night.

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.
