| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 823pm EDT Sunday May 10 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... A cold front continues to bisect the area this evening before crossing overnight. Freeze watches for some areas west of the Blue Ridge Monday night into Tuesday morning. More rain chances and warming temps mid to late week. .KEY MESSAGES... 1) Scattered shower chances continue through Monday morning as a cold front sags south. Additional shower & t-storm chances midweek. 2) Late season frost/freeze west of Blue Ridge Monday night into Tuesday morning. Freeze Watches issued for the western Alleghenies. KEY MESSAGE 1...Scattered shower chances continue through Monday morning as a cold front sags south. Additional shower & t-storm chances midweek. A cold front continues to bisect the area this evening before sagging south and east tonight. The front extends from northeast MD southwest into DC and down toward the southern Shenandoah Valley/central VA Piedmont. Scattered showers and even a few isolated thunderstorms have been observed directly along and behind the front with coverage dwindling further north and west as drier air pushes in. There looks to be a lull in this activity during the front half of the overnight period with additional showers likely to push in from the south and west Monday morning (especially south of I-66/US-50). The additional round of showers is in association with deeper digging trough and wave of low pressure which looks to traverse the boundary from southwest VA toward the lower Delmarva. 18z hi-res CAMS continue to show this wave lifting north and east from southwest VA around mid to late Monday morning and exiting east toward the lower Delmarva/VA Tidewater Monday afternoon. This would keep the bulk of any beneficial rain across central VA and southern MD although some showers/drizzle are possible in the vicinity of the I-66/US-50 corridor. Elsewhere, overcast skies will likely persist into the afternoon with gradual clearing late setting us up for frost and freeze Monday night into Tuesday morning. High pressure briefly settles over the region Tuesday allowing for return flow and warmer temperatures across the region. Precipitation chances return Wednesday into Wednesday night as a series of fronts cross the area. These fronts will lead to a more noticeable warming trend Wednesday with not much of a cooldown Thursday into Friday. Guidance remains split on exactly how much rain falls over the area and overall coverage. Any rain will be beneficial in nature given ongoing drought. Some lingering showers are possible Thursday as a trailing spoke of energy kicks on through. Temps will actually trend warmer in the wake of the frontal system for the upcoming weekend as large scale height rises commence. KEY MESSAGE 2...Late season frost/freeze west of Blue Ridge Monday night into Tuesday morning. Freeze Watches issued for the western Alleghenies. A Freeze Watch is in effect for counties along and west of the Allegheny Front (including those along US-219 and US-220) late Monday night into Tuesday. Frost or near freezing temps are expected in the sheltered valleys near and west of I-81 Monday night into Tuesday morning. This could be rather impactful given the fact that we are approaching mid-May at this point which is a couple weeks to a month past the median last freeze for these areas. Marine SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conditions expected late tonight into early Monday afternoon due to a northerly channeling. Winds subside back below SCA (Small Craft Advisory) levels Monday afternoon and evening. Additional SCAs (Small Craft Advisories) are likely Tuesday into Wednesday due to southerly channeling and another front crossing the region. A few SMWs may also be needed Wednesday afternoon with any stronger thunderstorms that may develop. Sub-SCA (Small Craft Advisory) level winds are expected Thursday into the upcoming weekend.
