| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 850pm EST Monday Mar 2 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... No changes in the recent forecast update. Main changes to the discussion are to update the aviation section, as well as the current conditions and updates on the progress of the ongoing winter weather event. .KEY MESSAGES... - Mixed wintry precipitation to cause impacts to travel tonight through Tuesday morning. - Temperatures warm up by the end of the week and into the weekend with daily precipitation chances. KEY MESSAGE 1...Mixed wintry precipitation to cause impacts to travel tonight through Tuesday morning. Some lingering light snow showers continue roughly south of I-66 and east of US-29. This is the first wave, and will come to an end over the next couple of hours for those areas. The lull won't last long though, as a warm front begins to lift towards the region and bring more precipitation as a result. The leading edge may still be snow, but precipitation type will change over to sleet and primarily freezing rain as time goes on due to strong warm advection aloft. This is already evident on radar along the I-64 corridor, as well as the warm nose evident in the 00z IAD RAOB. While a few tenths of an inch of snow/sleet accumulation are added to the storm total here, the primary impact will be from freezing rain. Surface temperatures will be increasingly marginal (and perhaps mostly above freezing) with lower elevations and south/eastward extent. The main challenge for tonight is how much temperatures drop due to evaporative cooling (i.e. in-situ damming) and how much fzra is able to accumulate. Marginal temperatures and moderate intensity precip rates argue against significant icing. Continue to favor climatology for ice accretion with icing remaining west of I-95. So, no changes to the ongoing Winter Weather Advisory at this time. After 12Z Tue, strong pressure falls should help temperatures come up with freezing rain ending by late morning. Some plain rain continues through around noon, but there should be a lull yet again thereafter. Another wave of rain may move across the area Tuesday night, but temperatures may largely hold steady in the 40s for most areas. KEY MESSAGE 2...Temperatures warm up by the end of the week and into the weekend with daily precipitation chances. Shortwave troughing tracks over the forecast area Friday with upper level ridging building over the east coast through the weekend. At the surface, high pressure shifts off shore as return flow ushers in moisture and warmer temperatures. High temperatures in the mid 60s to upper 70s are expected each day with overnight lows in the 50s to low 60s. In addition to warmer temperatures, multiple waves of low pressure track along a stalled frontal boundary across the mid-atlantic. This yields increased precipitation chances across the northern portions of the forecast area. With ongoing moderate drought conditions across the forecast area, rainfall is expected to be beneficial at this time. Marine Winds will eventually become southerly Tuesday as a warm front lifts through the region, although advisory conditions are looking less likely Tuesday night. Depending on how the front wavers, light south to east winds are forecast Wednesday and Wednesday night. South winds on Thursday shift to southwest Friday morning. Winds become light Friday evening out of the southeast. Winds are expected to remain below Small Craft Advisory criteria both days.
