Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 257 PM EDT Sun Sep 21 2025

.SYNOPSIS... Continued onshore flow will yield cooler and cloudy conditions today. A warm front will lift north through the area tonight into Monday bringing warmer temperatures and scattered mountain thunderstorms. Meanwhile, high pressure will continue offshore Tuesday allowing a cold front and upper level low to move toward the region. Beneficial precipitation chances will accompany this midweek through the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Continued onshore flow today prior to the warm frontal passage tonight will yield cooler temperatures and increased low level cloudiness across the region. The stratus looks to hold tough across most of the area throughout the day likely eroding across central/eastern VA and the western Alleghenies this afternoon and evening as a warm front lifts northward into the region.

The warm front continues to lift north tonight into early Monday while surface high pressure shifts further off the northern New England coast. As a result, expect the wedge to continue to erode as southerly return flow takes over yielding warmer temperatures and increased moisture across the region for the start of the new week. Lows tonight will fall back into the mid to upper 50s and low 60s. Some fog cannot be ruled out especially in the river valleys and in areas that see substantial clearing.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... As high pressure moves offshore Monday, a warm front will lift through the region. Further west, a cold front and upper-level cutoff low will traverse through the Central Plains with pieces of energy/shortwaves pushing east Monday and Tuesday. The main ULL does not advect eastward until the middle to later parts of the week. Any precipitation Monday and Tuesday is likely confined to areas west of the Blue Ridge. More widespread precipitation looks to arrive with the front and several pieces of energy tracking along it Wednesday into the upcoming weekend (see Long Term below).

Any showers and thunderstorms Monday and Tuesday could produce brief gusty winds and higher rain rates given anomalous PWs, but coverage is expected to be rather scattered. Flood threat appears rather low given ongoing drought. Would have to have a storm lock onto some terrain feature to likely have issues, but given the increased flow aloft, this looks unlikely.

Highs Monday and Tuesday will climb back into the upper 70s and low to mid 80s (low 70s mountains). Skies will turn partly to mostly cloudy both days with more sun in the east compared to western portions of the forecast area. Overnight lows will fall into the upper 50s and low to mid 60s. Some river/mountain valley fog is possible during the late night/early morning hours.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... By Wednesday, a closed low will likely be located over the central Plains or upper midwest. At the surface, a wavy front will stretch from Texas to New England. Low pressure will consolidate and lift toward the Great Lakes during the second half of the week. High pressure moving across Maine will tend to keep the frontal section stalled across the Mid Atlantic. Overall, this portends a cloudier and unsettled period as the closed low/trough slowly meanders eastward. Precipitable water values will increase to 1.5-2 inches as moisture is drawn northward ahead of the trough. Cloud cover will likely limit instability, but some occasional thunderstorms can`t be ruled out. Ensemble guidance indicates the highest rain chances Thursday and Friday when there is the greatest model agreement on the approaching forcing. Overall, rainfall should be beneficial in nature, but will have to keep an eye on mesoscale features and any local saturation after multiple days of potential rain. The warmest day will likely be Wednesday with some locations pushing into the 80s. However, even temperatures in the mid to upper 70s are pretty close to normal now. Overnight temperatures will remain well above normal thanks to dew points well into the 60s.

Confidence decreases into next weekend as to how quickly the trough/low and its associated cold front depart. However, there are indications the jet stream over Canada will become more active, breaking down the blocking ridge to the north.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... Low level clouds (IFR to MVFR) look to hang around through at least mid if not late afternoon with a slow erosion of the wedge down across central/eastern VA and central/eastern MD. Some improvements have been observed, but typical locales that hang onto the wedge clouds have yet to break. Skies will remain BKN-OVC through the overnight period although some of the cloud cover will likely scatter out in eastern and southern zones later this afternoon into the early evening hours.

Another round of stratus and perhaps some fog tonight as a warm front lifts through the region. This could result in some MVFR/IFR CIG restrictions.

VFR conditions return for Monday into Tuesday as a warm front lifts north of the region and high pressure pushes offshore. A shower or thunderstorm cannot be ruled out west of a line from KHGR/KMRB to KCHO as the warm front lifts north and several pieces of energy pass to the north and west of the region. This may lead to temporary sub- VFR reductions on Monday and Tuesday afternoons. The front combined with high pressure moving offshore will shift the winds from the east on Sunday back to the south and southwest Monday into Tuesday. Expect gusts between 10 to 15 kts mainly during the afternoon and evening hours (especially at terminals near the waters and along the ridges).

A front will remain stalled near the area during the second half of the week. Periods of sub-VFR conditions in low clouds, showers, and isolated thunderstorms will be possible Wednesday through Friday.

&&

.MARINE... Easterly winds gusting to 15 or so kts are expected through the evening due to a tightened pressure gradient. Cannot rule out an occasional SCA gust, but will handle with an MWS if winds are a tick above expected this afternoon/evening. A warm front will cross the waters tonight into Monday turning the winds out of the south. With high pressure offshore, this leads to the potential for southerly channeling and a period of SCA conditions late Monday into Tuesday morning.

Light and variable winds on Wednesday will become east to southeast Thursday and Friday as a front remains stalled near the area. Thursday night has the highest chance for wind gusts approaching advisory criteria. Mainly isolated thunderstorms will also be possible each afternoon and evening Wednesday through Friday.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING... Tidal anomalies have increased amidst easterly flow today. This has resulted in coastal flood advisories being issued for King George, Charles, and Anne Arundel Counties for this upcoming high tide cycle. Anomalies are forecast to come down slightly with the warm frontal passage as winds turn more southerly Monday, yet remain elevated with Action Stage possible at sensitive tidal locations.

&&

.LWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... DC...None. MD...Coastal Flood Advisory until 9 PM EDT this evening for MDZ014. Coastal Flood Advisory until 6 PM EDT this evening for MDZ016. VA...Coastal Flood Advisory until 6 PM EDT this evening for VAZ057. WV...None. MARINE...None.
