.SYNOPSIS...
A deepening surface low will linger off the northeast coast
today. High pressure will slowly build overhead Wednesday.
Another storm system will approach from the southwest Thursday
and overspread the region Thursday night into Friday. This
system will linger nearby into the weekend.
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Most rainfall has pushed off to east at this point, with only
some lingering showers over the Potomac Highlands. Current
surface analysis depicts a surface low developing off the
Delmarva coast and another further southeast out over the
western Atlantic. In the upper levels, the region is beneath a
deep upper trough, with the primary upper low over the Great
Lakes.
The primary upper low is progged to push across the region
today. The upper low slowly pivots offshore throughout the day
into tonight. Meanwhile low pressure will be strengthening
offshore throughout the day today. High pressure starts to
build in from the west today as well. Between the two systems a
very tight pressure gradient across the region will lead to some
strong winds today. A Wind Advisory has been issued starting at
noon today going through midnight for areas along/west of the
Blue Ridge and along/north of the I-66 corridor. Left out far
northeast Maryland though, as some showers/cloud cover connected
to the developing low will be a limiting factor. Still will have
some gusty winds up there, just may not quite hit advisory
criteria. Highs today will be in the 60s, but with the wind and
showers, it will feel colder.
On Tuesday night, low pressure will deepen significantly as it
moves further up the northeast coast. Gusty winds will linger
into the overnight hours, but should fall below advisory
criteria after midnight as the low pulls away. Lows will be
cooler across the region reaching the 40s to low 50s.
One note on temperatures over the mountains though, where temps
along/west of the Allegheny Front may get near freezing at the
highest ridges. Some upslope showers are expected in NW flow
overnight, which could mix in with a few snow flakes on highest
ridge tops. Wouldn`t be any significant accumulations, but
could see a few flakes though.
.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
For Wednesday, rain should be ending across the region, with
surface high pressure moving in along with upper-level ridging.
Mostly sunny skies are expected Wednesday as well with high
temperatures in the 60s (40s to 50s in the higher elevations).
Lighter winds and mostly clear skies will prevail Wednesday
night, with lows mostly in the 40s.
Much of Thursday will be dry as well, with surface high
pressure and upper-level ridging remaining in place. Temps
slightly cooler though for much of the area, but only be a few
degrees. The main concern will be to our west as a cutoff upper
low is developing across the center of the country. The
attendant surface low will be moving from the central MS river
valley generally towards the Ohio Valley by Thursday evening.
The warm front associated with the aforementioned surface low
will push through the region Thursday night into Friday
morning. Moderate to heavy rainfall is expected with this
system, owing to strong onshore flow. More information on
rainfall totals with this system are detailed in the long-term
discussion below.
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Very impressive deep cyclone over the OH Valley on Fri will track
slowly to the ENE lifting into New England by Sunday. There is
remarkable very good agreement amongst the global models showing a
sub 1000 mb low crossing the area Fri afternoon with the upper level
trof axis crossing the area Sat afternoon. A tight pressure gradient
develops ahead of the main low Fri morning sustaining an Atlc
moisture feed into the area late Thu night through the day Fri.
Widespread one to two inches of rain seem possible with this system
with the bulk of the rain focused on the Blue Ridge Mtns and areas
to the west. Long term areal flooding will be possible for those
areas as lack of instability will limit rainfall intensity and
likely prevent any flash flooding. Unsettled wx will continue
through Saturday before ridging builds early next week and
seasonable early Nov weather returns.
