      (on/off)   Help   NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition

Fxus61 klwx 140804 afdlwx area forecast discussion national weather service baltimore md washington dc 404 am edt Mon oct 14 2019 Synopsis High pressure will build from the tennessee valley toward new england through Tuesday while a secondary cold front approaches from the great lakes and weakens. A strong area of low pressure will move across the ohio valley Wednesday, then re-develop over southeastern virginia and move up the coast toward new england Wednesday night into Thursday. High pressure will follow Friday into the weekend. Near term through tonight Main concern early this morning is patchy dense fog. Sfc obs and nighttime microphysics rgb show dense fog has developed across parts of the area this morning with vsbys as low as quarter of an mile in a few spots. Right now, it is patchy and not widespread enough to issue an advisory, but will continue to monitor. Otherwise, mostly clear today with high temperatures in the middle 70s. Clear and cool tonight as high pressure builds in. Short term Tuesday through Wednesday night Tranquil on Tue as high pressure dominates. High moves offshore tue night with increasing clouds and showers developing late. Model guidance has trended slower with onset of precip Tue night this cycle and have confined pops mainly after 06z wed. Global models during the past few days have been trending stronger with a southern stream low pressure center fcst to move across the area Wed afternoon showing it to be the more dominant weather system. As a result, expect some beneficial rains late Tue night through Wed afternoon with quarter to half inch of rain. Eps 95th percentile shows up to 1.5 inches of rain along the i-95 corridor. Expect a convective line to race through the area wed afternoon with frontal passage and gusty NW behind it. Upslope rain showers will continue over the appalachians into thu morning in NW flow. Long term Thursday through Sunday In the wake of the aforementioned cold front, a windy day is expected on Thursday. Sustained winds of 10-15 mph, with gusts up to 25 mph are expected, especially in the late morning early afternoon. Additionally, the front will be bringing in the coolest air mass of the season thus far, with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s. Other than some upslope showers along west of the allegheny front Thursday morning, thinking we stay dry and mostly sunny. Overnight lows on Thursday will be in the upper 30s to low 40s, with some even some temperatures near freezing at the highest elevations. High pressure will settle overhead on Friday, resulting in sunny skies and seasonable temperatures, with highs in the low 60s. Clear on Friday night with overnight lows into the low 40s. High pressure

will then shift offshore by Saturday, warming temperatures into the mid to upper 60s. Again, expecting a dry and mostly sunny day. Overnight lows on Saturday night will be warmer, into the upper 40s to low 50s, thanks to the southerly return flow. Sunday again looks dry at this time, with high pressure settled offshore. Temperatures will be even a little warmer, with highs into the low to mid 70s. Aviation 08z Monday through Friday Patchy dense fog across the region this morning. Will continue to monitor. Otherwise,VFR conditions through Tue evening with potential for MVFR CIGS late Tue night and Wed in rain as cold front crosses the area. Gusty NW winds behind FROPA late wed into Wed night. Vfr conditions expected Thursday and Friday behind a cold frontal passage, with high pressure building into the region. Main concern will be gusty west-northwesterly winds up to 20 knots or so. Less windy on Friday, with continuedVFR conditions expected. Marine Winds begin to increase Wed afternoon and smws may be required with convective line along cold front. Solid SCA conditions expected Wed night in post-frontal NW flow regime. In the wake of a passing cold front, small craft advisories are likely going to be needed all day Thursday through much of the day on Friday. Gale force winds are even a possibility early in the day on Thursday. Winds will begin to taper off Friday afternoon. Tides coastal flooding Cf.Y remains in effect for annapolis as it looks like there is still a low chance of reaching minor flooding with next high tide, although my forecast keeps it just below. Will monitor and cancel early if it doesn't look like it won't reach the threshold. Lwx watches warnings advisories Dc... None. Md... Coastal flood advisory until 8 am edt this morning for mdz014. Va... None. Wv... None. Marine... None. Synopsis... Lfr near term... Lfr short term... Lfr long term... Cjl aviation... Lfr cjl marine... Lfr cjl tides coastal flooding... Lfr

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. 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.
