Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 242 PM EST Thu Dec 12 2019

SYNOPSIS. High pressure will slide offshore tonight. Low pressure will start developing along the Gulf Coast tonight and then head northward up the East Coast Friday and Saturday. High pressure will return briefly on Sunday before another system potentially affects the region Monday and Monday night. Cold high pressure will then follow for the middle of next week.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/. A strong area of high pressure remains centered just north of the area today, funneling in some very chilly air. This has resulted in mostly clear skies, with temperatures only in the mid 30s thus far today.

Mostly clear skies expected to continue this evening into tonight, as high pressure begins to slide towards the east. With calm winds also expected, could be a good setup for some radiational cooling. Low pressure will be developing to our southwest and moving generally northeast through the night. As a result, some clouds will begin to build into the region late tonight.

Precipitation associated with this system will be moving into the I-64 corridor early in the morning hours, perhaps between 3-5 AM. This will start as freezing rain, as temperatures remain below freezing due to a wedge of cold air remaining in place for much of the region. The onset of precipitation may be on the lighter side, as most guidance still moves the primary axis of precipitation by 5-7 AM into that region. Freezing rain will gradually spread north and east through the morning, primarily along/west of the Blue Ridge along the I-81 corridor. Areas along and just west of the I-95 corridor could see some brief freezing rain/drizzle in the morning if precipitation onset ends up being earlier than currently anticipated, or if cold air hangs on a little longer. Left that area out of the Winter Weather Advisory at this point due to the uncertainty of how far east freezing rain occurs.

Freezing rain will change over to all rain for much of the area by early to mid afternoon, as warm air should finally win out. However, northwest portions of the CWA could hang onto the cold air a little bit longer, meaning a more prolonged period of freezing rain. Have this reflected in ice accumulation forecast.

Generally expecting less than a tenth of an inch of ice accretion in the Winter Weather Advisory area. Southwestern portions of the CWA up through the Shenandoah Valley and into western Maryland could see higher amounts (around a tenth of an inch or so).

Came down a little on high temperatures along/west of the Blue Ridge, keeping temps in the mid to upper 30s, with areas along/east of I-95 possibly reaching the low 40s.

SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/. Low pressure will traverse the area Friday night. By this time, most of the area should be above freezing, with all rain expected. Rain could be moderate to heavy at times, with generally an inch to an inch and a half expected, with isolated higher amounts possible along the ridges. Given the relatively dry period lately, not anticipating flood issues at this time.

Low pressure will slide to the northeast on Saturday, leaving showers behind. Cold advection behind the system will begin to bring upslope showers to the Allegheny Front. These will changeover to snow quickly into the late afternoon/early evening as colder air pushes in. Only light accumulations are expected, with no winter weather advisories for snow currently anticipated. Further east, Saturday afternoon and evening will be slowly drying out, with relatively mild temps near 50 in the afternoon dropping into the 30s at night.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/. High pressure will briefly build over our region on Sunday behind a exiting coastal low system to the northeast. A westerly flow will form that may lead to some upslope snow showers Sunday morning along the western slopes of the Allegheny Mountain range. Temperatures will be near average during the day in the low to mid 40w with overnight lows in the 30s Sunday night.

A warm front is forecast to lift up through our area early on Monday. A weak high pressure looks to create a cold air damming situation on the eastern side of the Appalachians. Models starting to agree that a near surface layer of near to below freezing temperatures will be in place for a period Sunday overnight through Monday afternoon. As the precipitation shield associated with the warm front moves through our region, wintry precipitation will be possible on Monday. Models have consistent shown a above freezing layer at the mid-levels which would be an ideal setup for freezing rain but it remains uncertain at this time on how widespread wintry precipitation will become. Monday continues to be a concerning setup especially with decent agreement on some sort of cold damming situation. As the surface cold front lifts through our area, winds will become more southerly leading to a warm up late Monday and into early Tuesday. This suggest a changeover to all rain. The timing of this warm air moving into our region will need to continue to monitor to determine how much wintry precipitation will be possible.

Showers could linger into early Tuesday as the frontal system lifts out of our region. Most precipitation is forecast to be fully out of our area by Tuesday afternoon. High pressure will then build back into our region Tuesday afternoon through Thursday next week.

AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/. VFR conditions are expected through this evening and the early part of the overnight hours, with light winds generally out of the northeast. Lowering CIGs and RA/FZRA will become a concern early Friday morning. FZRA is likely at CHO by 11z or so and at MRB by around 14z. Much less (but still some) risk IAD. Not particularly concerned at DCA/BWI/MTN for FZRA given later arrival of precip and warming easterly flow. Low CIGs and VSBY likely Friday night with rain. Improving to MVFR/VFR on Saturday as low lifts north and rain ends, though scattered showers may linger.

Weak high pressure over our region will lead to mainly VFR conditions but with a westerly flow some midlevel cloud decks will be possible on Sunday.

A warm front will lift up through all terminals. Precipitation will be likely with some of it potentially falling as wintry precip likely in the form of freezing rain. SubVFR conditions will be possible.

MARINE. High pressure will slide east as low pressure moves up from the south tonight through Friday night, but not yet particularly concerned about SCA issues given stable air mass in place. SCA could become an issue as low pressure pulls away Saturday into Sunday.

A coastal low will exit our region on Sunday but some lingering strong winds could lead to the need for Small Craft Advisories on Sunday. Another system will move through our region on Monday which could lead to the need for further Small Craft Advisories.
