Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 258 PM EDT Fri Apr 10 2020

SYNOPSIS.

High pressure will build over the region late tonight and hold through Easter Sunday. Strong cold front will impact the area Monday. The cold front will stall out to the south for the middle portion of next week, and waves of low pressure may track along the boundary, bringing the potential for unsettled conditions.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/.

Clearing and turning colder tonight as winds subside. Freeze Warning is now in effect for roughly areas west of U.S. 29 to the I-81 corridor where growing season has started.

SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/.

Quiet weather Sat with high pressure in control. Powerful storm system is expected to develop over the Southern Plains Easter Sunday and track northeast into the Great Lks in response to negatively tilted trof. Rain/showers in warm advection pattern could arrive into western zones as early as Sun morning, but bulk of the heavy precip will be Sun night into midday Mon. Potential for 1-2 inches of rain with this system. Flooding threat non- zero, but does not appear to be a significant threat. Bigger threat will be for severe t-storms Mon morning in a high shear/low CAPE scenario similar to the Feb 07 Leesburg/Montgomery/Frederick/Carroll Counties tornadoes. Cdfnt will clear the fcst area by 18Z Mon with strong post- frontal winds in its wake. Potential for high winds of 50kt or greater exists with frontal passage.

LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/.

Rain will begin to diminish late Monday afternoon as the potent low moves off to the northeast.There could be some upslope snow showers along the Allegheny Front Monday evening as a strong WNW flow and CAA ensues into the region. However, weak high pressure will begin to move overhead during that time, which may suppress any upslope precip from materializing. The high will allow dry conditions to persist throughout the day Tuesday, as temperatures sit just below normal for April.

Overall, an active pattern continues into much of next week. A large upper level low will continue to retrograde over Canada; inducing a deep trough over the Central CONUS. There has been some wobbling amongst guidance in regards to a secondary low developing over the Gulf and traveling along the coast Wednesday, which would induce another round of rainfall across the CWA. With a frontal boundary expected to linger just to our south, the ECMWF has been persistent with developing a low over the Gulf; tracking along the stalled boundary. On the other hand, the GFS has this low tracking well offshore, which would mean drier conditions Wednesday. However, ensemble guidance is in agreement of the placement of the stalled boundary, which favors the ECMWF operational model. With that said, seems more likely than not, that Wednesday will feature additional rainfall. Weak high pressure looks to briefly return for Thursday and Friday.

Expect temperatures to run slightly below normal through the middle portion of next week, with a frost/freeze potential existing each night beginning Tuesday night.

AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/.

Strong NW winds up to around 35kt will continue through sunset then gradually diminish tonight as high pressure builds in. Showers develop Sun night with IFR conditions developing and low-level wind shear. Possible t-storms Mon morning which may produce damaging wind gusts. Cdfnt clears the area by 18Z Mon with strong pos-frontal winds upwards of 50 mph.

IFR/LIFR conditions are likely through early Monday afternoon with rain that can be heavy at times and possible thunderstorms. Gusty winds will also be an issue across the terminals with a strong low- level jet overhead. Conditions are expected to improve by late Monday afternoon as a cold front crosses the region. High pressure will then build across the region Monday night into Tuesday. VFR conditions are expected Tuesday albeit gusty WNW winds. Low pressure passing south of the terminals late Tuesday night could return sub VFR conditions in low CIGs.

MARINE.

Gale Warning continues until midnight tonight for Chesapeake Bay waters. Winds gradually diminish overnight into Saturday. Light winds will not last too long Sat afternoon as winds expected to increase again late Sat night. SCA conditions expected Sun with gale conditions likely Mon and even Storm Force winds in convective showers.

Gusty westerly winds persist Monday night and will continue across the waters on Tuesday in which SCA conditions are likely; at least for portions of the waters. As the gradient relaxes slightly by Tuesday night, a westerly wind seem poised to remain below SCA thresholds.
