Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 321am EST Thu Jan 23 2025 Synopsis Arctic high pressure will maintain control leading to well below average temperatures through this morning. Temperatures will begin to moderate late this week as high pressure begins to lift away. A weak system may approach the region early next week. Near Term - Through Tonight As surface high pressure slides east, southerly return flow will result in very welcome WAA (Warm Air Advection - the movement of warm air) today, allowing temperatures to rise into the upper 20s to mid 30s. Dry conditions and mostly sunny skies are expected, outside of the mountains, where a passing disturbance will bring continued cloud cover and possible upslope snow Thursday night. Lows are expected to be in the teens to low 20s. Short Term - Friday Through Saturday Night Other than possible lingering upslope snow, dry conditions are expected Friday with high pressure. A dry frontal passage will turn winds W/NW, resulting in highs a few degrees cooler than Thursday, but mostly west of the Blue Ridge. Low temperatures will be a few degrees cooler as well, in the single digits and teens. Southwesterly flow with mostly sunny skies are expected on Saturday. High temperatures will rise to the 30s to low 40s (20s in the mountains) and lows will be in the 20s to low 30s. Long Term - Sunday Through Wednesday Snow showers in the upslope areas of the Appalachians will come to an end midday Sunday. High pressure will build into the region later Sunday and persist into Monday. Highs Sunday will be near average with high reaching the lower to middle 40s. Much of the same temperatures expected on Monday. A low pressure system is expected to track well to our south Monday night through Tuesday evening. There is a slight chance for some light rain across eastern portions of Virginia and far southern Maryland. A chance for snow showers in the Appalachians is also possible Monday night through midday Tuesday with an upslope wind and high pressure nosing into the region. High pressure will bring dry conditions Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday for nearly all areas except for the highest terrain in the Appalachians. Temperatures will remain near average both Tuesday and Wednesday. Marine Winds turn W/SW on Thursday. A dry frontal passage turns winds N/NW Friday and winds could gust to around 15kt in the afternoon, and may briefly approach SCA (Small Craft Advisory) criteria. On Saturday winds return to W/SW and could approach SCA (Small Craft Advisory) criteria late Saturday night. No marine hazards expected Sunday through Monday night. Winds southwest becoming northwest 10 knots Sunday and Sunday night. Winds becoming southwest again around 10 knots Monday and Monday night.
