Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 920 PM EST Thu Dec 5 2019

SYNOPSIS. High pressure will move offshore of the Carolinas through tonight. A pair of low pressure systems will split the Mid- Atlantic to the north and south Friday, with a cold front in between crossing the region from west to east by evening. High pressure will follow for the weekend, before a stronger area of low pressure develops over the Mid-Mississippi Valley and tracks northeastward toward the eastern Great Lakes early next week.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 7 AM FRIDAY MORNING/. Winds have taper off this evening with sporadic gusts up to 15 knots. Some higher clouds have moved into our region but they remain mostly above 20k feet. Low temperatures tonight will be in the upper 20s to lower 30s with cooler temps along the Allegheny frontal range, though the high clouds could thicken enough to keep it a bit warmer.

SHORT TERM /7 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/. A weak area of low pressure moving through the Great Lakes and a shortwave trough to our south will allow a weak cold front to move through the CWA Friday night. With high pressure banked offshore and westerly flow off the surface, not expecting much in terms of precipitation with this FROPA for the majority of the CWA. Any precipitation would be mainly along/west of the Appalachians.

There will be a bit of a warm up ahead of the front, with highs in the upper 40s and lower 50s. Given above freezing temperatures, even across the higher terrains prior to the FROPA, any precip would fall mainly as rain, however can't rule out the possibility of a few wet snowflakes mixing in towards the end. Behind the front, a large/strong area of high pressure originating from Canada will build in to start the weekend. Cold advection will result in lows below freezing in many areas and highs in the 40s.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/. Overall, model guidance is in good (above average) agreement through the long term. A narrow but strong ridge is progged to build over the eastern Pacific, moving eastward Sunday into the first half of next week, forcing downstream troughing over the central CONUS. There are differences in sub-synoptic scale timing/strength differences, which will ultimately determine the magnitude of precipitation across our area as a cold front trailing low pressure over the Midwest encroaches on the region. Chances for rain are high (above 50 percent) as this system moves through, most likely peaking in the Day 5/Monday period as warm/moist advection strengthens ahead of the slowly advancing front.

This system will slowly push eastward, and secondary low pressure development is possible near or over the area during the middle of next week before the front finally clears the coast, prolonging chances for precipitation. Behind the front, there is reasonable model agreement on well below normal temperatures as the aforementioned ridge building over western North America dislodges Arctic cold and sends in southeastward in our general direction.

AVIATION /02Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/. VFR conditions expected through Saturday night. High pressure will move offshore Friday and a southerly flow will develop. A cold front will pass through Friday evening, and a wind shift to the northwest is expected behind the boundary. High pressure will return for Saturday and Saturday night.

Mainly VFR Sun, with restrictions in showers becoming increasingly likely Mon-Tue as a low pressure/cold front approach from the west.

MARINE. High pressure will move offshore Friday and a southerly flow will develop. An SCA is in effect for the waters Friday morning through the afternoon periods.

A cold front will pass through the waters Friday evening and an SCA is in effect for the middle portion of the Bay and lower Tidal Potomac River. The SCA may be needed for the upper Tidal Potomac River and northern Bay as well, but confidence is too low at this time. High pressure will build overhead Saturday into Saturday night, and winds should be below SCA criteria most of the time.

Winds should be relatively light out of the southwest as high pressure shifts offshore Sunday, but winds will likely increase into early next week as gradient tightens between departing high and approaching/strengthening low pressure over the Midwest.
