Area Forecast Discussion . UPDATED National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 914 PM EDT Mon Sep 21 2020

SYNOPSIS. High pressure will gradually build over and then south of the area through the week while Teddy departs through the Canadian Maritimes. A cold front will approach this weekend.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/. Another chilly night with lows in the mid 30s where Frost Advisories are in effect. Could still see a few spots drop below freezing like we had this morning, but not expecting a widespread freeze although it sill should turn out cooler than this morning.

SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/. While notable weakening in the surface ridge is expected, the region will be coming off another chilly night. Areas of frost are likely to start off Tuesday morning, mainly west of the Blue Ridge and into colder sections of northern Maryland. Gradually all locations will warm up as nocturnal radiational inversions are mixed out by mid-morning. On the synoptic scale, a powerful upper trough is forecast to be located well off the Atlantic coast as Hurricane Teddy is steered toward the Canadian Maritimes. Farther upstream along the Eastern Seaboard, a transient shortwave ridge moves through which bumps temperatures up a bit. With 1000-500 mb thicknesses rising by around 3 to 5 dm from the previous day, expect afternoon highs to reach the low 70s accompanied by low dew points.

Heading into Tuesday evening and night, additional western U.S. wildfire smoke will again enter the picture. Recent HRRR smoke loops and cross-sections show mid to upper-level smoke filling the skies. While this will not influence surface visibilities, it should create a hazy appearance in the sky. These conditions are likely to be in place at least through Wednesday which may keep temperatures down during the afternoon. Most ensembles bring highs to around 80 which may be difficult to muster depending on how much smoke limits incoming solar radiation. Unlike previous nights, Wednesday night will be much milder given an increase in cloud cover and the surface high shifting its position into the Tennessee Valley.

LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/. Overall good agreement amongst guidance in regards to the extended period. High pressure will remain offshore Thursday into Friday, resulting in continued dry conditions. Meanwhile, the leftover moisture from Beta will be picked up by the southern jet stream as it slowly moves eastward. Strong high pressure over the Gulf of Maine may suppress most of the moisture south of our CWA, keeping the bulk over southern VA/NC. However, cannot rule out some shower activity both Saturday and Sunday as a decent amount of uncertainty remains.

AVIATION /01Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/. VFR expected thru Wed night.

HRRRX cross sections and upstream satellite suggest smoke from western wildfires is again likely to move over the area by around nightfall Tuesday and persist through Wednesday as low as 8-12 kft AGL.

VFR conditions are expected Thursday and Friday with high pressure offshore, coupled with a light southerly flow. Patchy fog may briefly reduce vsbys during the early morning hours both days.

MARINE. Winds have diminished and model trends indicate winds continue to weaken tonight as high splits and settles over the area. Have canceled advisories. As the high center weakens and shifts south, winds will become westerly Tuesday into Wednesday.

High pressure will build offshore Thursday and Friday, and a southerly flow is expected. However, the gradient should be light enough for winds to remain below SCA criteria most of the time.

TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING. Onshore flow will maintain elevated water levels through tonight. Minor flooding is likely for sensitive areas with the high tide cycle through high tide Tue morning.

The flow will turn more westerly for Tuesday and may cause anomalies to decrease. However, there will be water piled up near the mouth of the Bay, and some of that water may still make it into our area since the flow will be relatively light. Therefore, minor flooding is still possible. Confidence is low at this time.

EQUIPMENT. The KLWX (Sterling, VA) WSR-88D is out of service until further notice. The outage is due to a failure within the Radar Data Acquisition Functional Area that occurred early in the morning on September 20, 2020.

KLWX will be out of service for at least several days, as subject-matter experts from the National Weather Service Radar Operations Center will diagnose the failure, and then perform maintenance action in order to return-to-service.

Users of KLWX can utilize adjacent weather radars located in Dover DE (KDOX), Mt. holly NJ (KDIX), Pittsburgh PA (KPBZ), Charleston WV (KRLX), Blacksburg VA (KFCX), and Wakefield VA (KAKQ).

Further updates to keep users informed about the situation will be issued as information becomes available. Thank you for your understanding during this extended outage.
