| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 358am EDT Sat Oct 25 2025 Synopsis High pressure will build southeastward from the Great Lakes today before shifting north into Canada Sunday. Low pressure will approach from the southwest early in the week before potentially developing off the coast during the middle part of the week. Near Term - Through Tonight Stratocumulus clouds across part of the mountains are gradually starting to break up as upper level troughing lifts out and the fetch across the Great Lakes becomes less favorable. Temperatures have been held in the mid 40s in these locations. Elsewhere there is a range from the upper 20s to lower 40s, with frost/freeze headlines out where the growing season is still active. High pressure stretching from Hudson Bay to the southeastern states will be in control today. However, some cirrus is already spreading into the area, and the jet stream path means there will be mid and high level clouds crossing the area through much of the day. There still should be some filtered sunshine however. High temperatures will be fairly similar to Friday. Dry weather continues tonight. The mid and high level clouds may try to thin out, especially across the northern half of the area. The amount of clearing makes for a potentially tricky temperature forecast, as light/calm winds will support radiational cooling where it does clear. However, based on the dew point forecast, any threat of freezing temperatures should remain where the growing season has already ended. Generally speaking, temperatures will be in the 30s to mid 40s. Short Term - Sunday Through Monday Night High pressure will retract slightly into Quebec, but remain dominant into the early part of the week. Aloft, the pattern is more complex as shortwaves pivot through troughing over New England while a cut off low meanders eastward from the southern Plains beneath an amplified ridge over Ontario. While cloud cover will be enhanced, there may not be extended periods of complete overcast. The latest trends support a stronger high to the north and more dry air influence. That would keep the thickest clouds and small chance of rain showers across central Virginia (especially Monday-Monday night). Any substantial rain likely remains well south/southwest of the area through Monday night. Temperatures don't change a whole lot, remaining below normal (highs 50s-lower 60s, lows 30s-mid 40s). Some cold advection associated with the New England trough could lower highs a few degrees Monday. Long Term - Tuesday Through Friday Theme of the long term will be cooler and wet at times. Continued uncertainty remains wrt timing and placement of UL disturbances and corresponding surface features. Good agreement the UL ridge breaks down to start the long term with an area of surface low pressure moving across the eastern US during the middle of the week. After this, guidance struggles with handling the trailing UL trough and how this feature may cut off. As a result, expect increased cloudiness the region during the Tuesday through Thursday time period. Tuesday has trended drier, with the best chance of rain Wednesday/Thursday as the low makes its closest approach and possibly develops along the coast. Some deterministic/ensemble guidance trends drier beyond Thursday given the progression of the upper level low and coastal low feature pushing eastward. Below normal temps for late October through the long term with highs in the 50s (30s and 40s in the mountains). Lows will hold steady in the mid 30s and low 40s for most outside the western sheltered valleys. Some guidance even has snow across the higher peaks come Wednesday and Thursday next week. Marine Northerly channeling has resulted in some gusts to around 20 kt along the main channel of the bay south of North Beach or so. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect for those areas until 8 AM. Otherwise, high pressure should provide light winds for the rest of today and into Sunday. Direction gradually turns from northerly today to northeasterly Sunday. A more dominant high pressure and slower approach of low pressure from the southwest is leading to the wind forecast trending downward for Monday. However, northeasterly winds are still forecast to gradually increase, and advisories may be needed by Monday night. SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conditions likely continue Tuesday into Wednesday in northeast flow due to a tightened pressure gradient.
