| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 304pm EST Sat Nov 15 2025 Synopsis A strong cold front will cross the region tonight into Sunday leading to another round of gusty winds. A secondary front will follow Sunday night before high pressure briefly returns Monday. Low pressure will approach from the west Tuesday into the middle of next week. Near Term - Through Sunday A cold front will push through the region tonight before exiting the region early Sunday. The front should bring showers and perhaps a thunderstorm to parts of the area overnight. Rain amounts will light, while most places downwind of the Appalachians and areas across the Piedmont may not see any precipitation. Winds and fire weather concerns will be the bigger factors through Sunday. There is currently a Wind Advisory in effect for western Grant and western Pendleton Counties. Additional Wind Advisories have been issued a few hours ago for a larger area for much of the day Sunday into Sunday evening. This area is the remainder of the Appalachians, including the eastern half of Allegany County in MD. West- northwest to northwest winds will increase quickly behind frontal passage on Sunday into Sunday evening. Gusts of 40 to 50 mph are likely in many places with the strongest winds at highest elevations. Along with gusty winds will be available fuel moistures and dry air that will take dewpoint temperatures quite low and open the door for fire weather concerns. There is currently a Fire Weather Watch for a large area from eastern Grant, Pendleton and Highland Counties and areas east to the Chesapeake Bay but not as far north as I-70 across central MD. Temperatures tonight could hold steady or fall just a few degrees up to frontal passage, then values will fall more quickly the remainder of the night and through the day on Sunday. If we encounter more sun than clouds much of the morning with the downsloping winds, then temperatures may bump up a few degrees late Sunday morning before continuing their downward trend into late in the day. Short Term - Sunday Night Through Monday Night Winds are expected to diminish through Sunday night, although it may remain breezy in many locations. Sunday night's temperatures should continue to fall a few degrees per hour and bring values to below average numbers by early Monday morning. Monday is expected to be a dry day with high pressure building into the region. A gusty breeze could pick back up during the heart of the day. Winds could gust 25 to 35 mph. Winds should finally diminish Monday night as high pressure moves overhead. Long Term - Tuesday Through Saturday A deamplifying, fast moving shortwave trough will slide eastward from the central Plains Tuesday. The timing is trending toward afternoon and evening. However, if precipitation were to start early enough, some light wintry precipitation would be possible in the mountains, but for most it will just be a chilly rain. Clouds will likely hold daytime temperatures in the mid 40s to lower 50s. The predominant piece of the Canadian high finally slides southeastward Wednesday and Thursday ahead of a shortwave ridge aloft. At the same time, there could be a lingering frontal zone behind the disturbance near or just south of the area. The jet stream will be active, and the next trough may eject out of the desert southwest toward the end of the week. There should be some dry time in here, but clouds could outweigh the sun. The next chance of rain could arrive as early as Thursday or as late as Saturday, depending on whether disturbance track along the front. There's also a large range of potential temperatures depending on the frontal zone, but a general warming trend should occur through the end of the week. Marine A strong cold front will move through the waters tonight and Sunday. Small craft advisories for all waters will soon become Gale Warnings as we enter into Sunday and persist much of the day. SCA (Small Craft Advisory) gusts likely linger especially over the wider waters Sunday night. Additional breezy conditions are likely Monday, and could approach gale force again. Winds subside Monday night. Tuesday through Thursday should have sub-SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conditions as high pressure builds to the north. Some rain is possible Tuesday as a quick disturbance passes. Fire Weather A Fire Weather Watch is in effect for adjacent areas to the west of the Shenandoah Valley and areas east to the Chesapeake Bay and north to almost I-70 Sunday. Gusty westerly to northwesterly winds are expected Sunday in the wake of this cold frontal passage. Additionally, humidities will once again drop significantly as drier air moves in. Even drier conditions are expected Monday with a bit less in terms of wind. There could still be a fire weather threat on Monday given the dry conditions and breezy conditions.
