Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 959 PM EST Fri Dec 6 2019

SYNOPSIS. A cold front will cross the area this evening. High pressure will build in from the west this 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 SATURDAY MORNING/.

The rain showers have moved out of our region with some mid to high level clouds remaining. A cold front located through West Virginia, Northern Virginia and Northern Maryland will progress through out region this evening. Winds will becoming northerly and skies will slowly clear. Overnight low temperatures will depend on when the skies fully clear and the winds become light. If the cloud shield moves through our region quicker than expected, the boundary layer decoupling will occur earlier allowing temperatures to cool much quicker than currently forecast. Since the cloud shield is taking awhile to fully move through our region, I have upped overnight lows slightly especially since winds may not go calm until closer to daybreak. Isolated Rain and snow showers can't be ruled out along the Allegheny frontal range due to orographic lift and a cold front move through the area. Overall no more than inch of snow is expected at the higher elevations.

SHORT TERM /7 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/. A strong area of high pressure will build in from the Ohio Valley on Saturday, leading to sunny skies areawide. Temperatures will run below normal in the cool air mass behind today's cold frontal passage, with highs maxing out in the upper 30s to mid 40s.

The high will become centered overhead Saturday evening, setting the stage for an ideal radiational cooling night. With clear skies, near calm winds, and dewpoints in the upper teens to low 20s, temperatures should drop rapidly. Have adjusted temperatures down from previous forecasts to account for this radiational cooling scenario.

The high will shift offshore on Sunday, causing winds to switch around to southerly. Skies should start off sunny, but some high clouds may stream in during the late afternoon hours, well in advance of a system located over the center of the country. Highs on Sunday will run a few degrees warmer than Saturday, with max temps primarily in the 40s.

Clouds will continue to stream in Sunday Night in advance of a digging trough over the center of the country. As a push of warm advection ensues ahead of that system, showers may develop across the area late Sunday Night.

LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/. High pressure will remain well offshore while low pressure tracks northeast into the Great Lakes Monday and then into southeastern Canada for Tuesday. A warm front will slowly pass through the area later Monday into Tuesday and the cold front associated with the low will pass through the area late Tuesday into Tuesday night. A deep southerly flow will allow for milder conditions Monday and Tuesday, although cold air damming may keep temps closer to normal Monday (north of the warm front). The deep southerly flow will also usher in copious amounts of moisture during this time. The deeper moisture combined with lift from a strengthening low-level jet and upper-level jet should provide enough moisture and lift for rain Monday. Showers are likely Monday night and Tuesday ahead of the cold front.

The cold front will likely pass through the area Tuesday evening. An upper-level trough will pass through the area behind the boundary Tuesday night, and Canadian high pressure will build overhead for Wednesday and Thursday.

There may be just enough upper-level support for some precipitation on the cold side of the boundary Tuesday night. If so, there is a potential for some snow to mix in before precipitation ends. However, confidence is very low since most of the energy is in the northern stream, and the axis of the trough remains positive to perhaps neutrally tilted. Will continue to monitor.

For Wednesday, blustery and much colder conditions are expected. There will be some snow showers along and west of the Allegheny Front, and it is not out of the question that some of those snow showers can spill east of the mountains. At this time, it appears that the westerly flow at the low-levels should keep that threat limited. Canadian high pressure will build overhead Wednesday night and Thursday, bringing dry and cold conditions. The high will move offshore late in the week, allowing for a moderating trend.

AVIATION /03Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/. Mid to high level clouds are expected this evening for all terminals. Some cloud bases cloud briefly drop down near MVFR conditions especially for the MRB terminal. Any restrictions would be very brief and VFR conditions are expected. This shield of clouds should dissipate early on Saturday as a cold front progresses through our region. Winds shift from westerly and become northwesterly through the rest of the night. Periods of gusts upwards of 15 to 20 knots could be potential as the cold front moves through the area.

High pressure will build in for the weekend, bringing clear skies and light winds. The next chance for sub-VFR conditions will be late Sunday Night as lower ceilings and showers move in ahead of an approaching system located over the center of the country.

Rain and subVFR conditions are expected Monday and Tuesday ahead of a cold front. Gusty west to northwest winds are expected behind the cold front Tuesday night and Wednesday. The rain may mix with some snow before ending Tuesday night, but confidence is very low at this time.

MARINE. Small Craft Advisories are in effect for all of the waters this through Saturday morning. A surge of winds are expected to occur over the waters in the next few hours with another surge possible in the morning as the sun rises. Winds will start diminishing from north to south through Saturday morning as high pressure builds.

Light winds expected Saturday afternoon through Sunday with high pressure in control. Southerly flow may increase a bit Sunday night as the high departs, but looks to be sub-SCA at this time.

Low pressure will pass by well to the west Monday. A southerly flow will increase as a warm front moves through the waters later Monday into early Tuesday. An SCA may be needed for portions of the waters during this time. A cold front will approach from the west Tuesday before passing through Tuesday night. High pressure will approach Wednesday. An SCA will likely be needed for the waters during this time.
