| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 352am EST Monday Nov 24 2025 Synopsis Surface high pressure builds over the mid-atlantic today as a low pressure system approaches from the west. A warm front lifts through the forecast area on Tuesday ahead of a cold front pushing through Wednesday. Surface high pressure returns for the end of the week and through the weekend. Near Term - Through Tonight High pressure will build overhead today before quickly moving offshore by the end of the day. High thin clouds will be on the increase later today becoming denser across the west during the afternoon. Clouds will continue to thicken and lower through the night. Recent trends in guidance show precipitation arriving in the southwest by daybreak Tue, sooner when compared to 24 hrs ago. Short Term - Tuesday Through Wednesday Night Warm advection showers will quickly overspread the area during the day Tuesday before exiting Wednesday morning. Storm Prediction Center Days 2 & 3 Convective Outlooks have broad areas of general thunderstorms across the area, which seem too broad in both areal coverage and timing. Believe the threat for thunder is mainly Wednesday morning across southern MD. Showers will exit the area by 18Z Wednesday coincident with strong frontal passage. Highs could reach 70 degs east of the mountains prior to frontal passage. Winds will be on the increase Wednesday afternoon in the post- frontal environment, but remain in the 25 to 35 mph range. Turning much colder Wednesday night on brisk NW winds. Long Term - Thursday Through Sunday As a broad upper level trough of low pressure pivots through the region Thursday, a cold dome of high pressure will build in Thursday afternoon through Saturday. Expect dry conditions Thursday through late Saturday, with exception to perhaps a couple of upslope snow showers in the Alleghenies later Thursday and Thursday night. Temperatures will be chilly both during the day and at night with highs in the lower to middle 40s and lows in the middle 20s. A gusty wind both Thursday and Friday will make it feel much colder. By late Saturday into Saturday night, the high pressure will move to our east and the winds will quickly diminish and become more southeast to southerly heading into Sunday. A weak warm front could try to edge its way into our western zones on Sunday, which could lead to a light wintry mix in the northern Alleghenies or light rain just to the east. This would depend on how saturated the lower and middle levels of the atmosphere are during this time. Sunday's high temperatures should approach 50 in the eastern zones. Marine Possible SCA (Small Craft Advisory) Tue-Tuesday night given tightening pressure gradient, but a stable air mass may limit its full mixing potential. More definite SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conditions are expected Wednesday afternoon through the end of the week in a strong Cold Air Advection pattern over still relatively warm waters in the 50s. Small craft advisories likely Thursday through Friday with possible Gales in the northern Chesapeake Bay Thursday afternoon then again Friday afternoon. Small craft advisories possible Friday night, mainly for open Chesapeake Bay waters. NOAA Baltimore MD/Washington DC Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories DC...None. MD...None. VA...None.
