| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 318am EDT Sunday Oct 5 2025 Synopsis High pressure will progress offshore today. A strong cold front will move through during the middle of the week. High pressure will build back in behind the cold front for the end of the week. Near Term - Through Tonight High pressure has settled overhead early this morning. Skies remain clear and winds are calm. Patchy fog has started to form to the east of the Blue Ridge, and additional fog development will be possible through daybreak. Any fog will quickly burn off this morning after sunrise, giving way to sunny skies across the entire area. High pressure at the surface will shift offshore, causing winds to turn light out of the south. Temperatures will rebound rapidly after a cool start, with most locations reaching into the lower 80s this afternoon. Skies will remain clear tonight and winds will go calm, which should allow for efficient radiational cooling. Temperatures will quickly drop to the dewpoints, which should be a few degrees higher than preceding nights. Low temperatures overnight should be in the 50s for most. Patchy fog will be possible again during the second half of the night. Current guidance suggests that the highest areal coverage of that fog will likely be to the east of the Blue Ridge. Short Term - Monday Through Tuesday Night High pressure will remain in place offshore tomorrow, while upper ridging holds strong aloft. Any residual fog will quickly burn off after sunrise Monday morning. Mostly sunny skies and light winds are forecast on Monday, with temperatures climbing into upper 70s to mid 80s. Skies will stay mostly clear Monday night, but southerly winds should prevent fog formation outside of the more sheltered valleys. Lows Monday night will generally be in the mid 50s to lower 60s. Heigheights will begin to fall on Tuesday as an upper trough and associated cold front at the surface begin to approach from the northwest. Clouds will be on the increase through the day, but showers will likely hold off until after dark for much of the area. The exception may be across the Alleghenies and Potomac Highlands, where showers may move in during the afternoon hours. Showers appear likely for all locations overnight. The system's cold front will start to move through during the second half of the night, and will likely bisect the area by daybreak on Wednesday. With the rain and cloud cover present, temperatures will remain mild Tuesday night, with lows in the 60s for most. Long Term - Wednesday Through Saturday An upper level trough passing to the north of the region late Tuesday into Wednesday will drive a cold front through the region. Showers will overspread the region late Tuesday into Wednesday morning. Most model guidance has the majority of the region receiving measurable precipitation by early Wednesday afternoon with the potential for rain totals over an inch depending on the model solution. Elevated instability could lead to a few thunderstorms especially over the northern half of the region. Highest rain totals will likely occur within any thunderstorms that form in the region early on Wednesday. Flooding is not likely as rain will be beneficial in nature as the region remains in moderate to severe drought conditions. Behind the frontal passage, a Canadian high pressure system will usher in a cooler and drier air mass over the region through the remainder of the week. Below normal temperatures will return through Friday with high temperatures likely to hover in the 60s to lower 70s with overnight lows in the 40s. Within some of the sheltered valleys overnight temperatures could approach freezing, with patchy frost possible. Marine As high pressure progresses offshore, winds should remain southerly over the waters through Tuesday. These winds should remain sub-SCA (Small Craft Advisory) level in nature today through much of the day tomorrow. Winds may briefly near low-end SCA (Small Craft Advisory) levels within channeled southerly flow Monday evening. A more prolonged period of low-end SCA (Small Craft Advisory) level winds within southerly flow appears possible on Tuesday. A cold front will move over the waters Tuesday night, causing winds to turn out of the northwest late Tuesday night or Wednesday. Small Craft Advisory level winds will be possible behind a frontal passage Wednesday through Thursday. Tides / Coastal Flooding Tidal anomalies at Annapolis remain somewhat elevated, so the higher of the two high tide cycles each day will continue to reach Action stage in the coming days. No flooding is forecast anywhere for the foreseeable future. NOAA Baltimore MD/Washington DC Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories DC...None. MD...None. VA...None. WV...None. Marine None. |
