| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 249pm EST Tuesday Nov 11 2025 Synopsis Winds will remain quite gusty through this evening as an area of high pressure interacts with departing low pressure systems. The high will build into the region overnight through Wednesday before the next frontal system tracks across the region Wednesday evening. High pressure returns for the end of the week and into much of the weekend. A warm front moves through on Sunday leading to the next chance for rain. Near Term - Through Tonight Winds will continue to gust 25 to 35 mph through mid-evening before diminishing some over land. The waters may continue to gust strong enough for Small Craft Advisories to be in effect for much of the evening. Dry air will remain in place through the night into Wednesday with dewpoint temperatures in the single digits to teens. High temperatures in the upper 30s and lower 40s will steadily fall through the night into the upper 20s to middle 30s. The wind makes it feel noticeably colder with wind chills in the single digits and teens. Short Term - Wednesday Through Thursday Night A southwest wind and warm air advection during the day Wednesday with high pressure sliding to the south will help to raise temperatures into the upper 50s to near 60, which are more seasonable and 10 to 15 degrees milder than this afternoon. Temperatures in the mountains will stay colder. Any snowpack from this early week's low pressure system will keep temperatures even colder. Winds will increase from the southwest with gusts pushing the 35 to 45 mph range. More sunshine than clouds on Wednesday. A fast-moving clipper-type system will race toward the region Wednesday night. It should be a dry front primarily due to lack of moisture. We can't rule out a few flurries in the northern Appalachians Wednesday night. Wednesday night's low are forecast to be in the upper 20s to 30s, with low 40s around Washington D.C. and Baltimore. An upper trough is forecast to shift offshore Thursday. A westerly downsloping wind is expected behind the front. Seasonable temperatures expected Thursday. Highs in the 50s, with mid 30s to 40s in the mountains. Breezy westerly winds up to 20 to 30 mph are possible, with gusts up to 40 mph over the higher elevations. Heading into the night, lows will be in the upper 20s to 30s. Long Term - Friday Through Tuesday High pressure well to our south slides offshore Friday, then a dry cold front is set to move across the region Friday night. Weak high pressure traverses the region quickly on Saturday, then a deepening area of low pressure tracks across the OH Valley to the eastern Great Lakes Sunday. This could possibly bring a quick round of showers Sunday afternoon, then dry again behind a cold front that tracks through Sunday night. Seasonal temperatures Friday and Saturday as highs reach the upper 50s to low 60s. Becoming very warm and breezy on Sunday as the low pressure approaches and south/southwest winds increase. Temperatures drop back to near seasonal values Sunday night into Monday with overnight lows in the 30s to 40s, and daytime highs in the 50s to around 60F. Marine West-northwesterly winds will continue to gust 30 to 35 knots through early evening before diminishing some overnight. Gale Warnings remain in place for all waters through early this evening. Winds remain elevated into this evening and night which have prompted a Small Craft Advisory into the overnight. Small Craft Advisories may need to be expanded through much of the day Wednesday. SCA (Small Craft Advisory) may need to be extended into Thursday as well. SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conditions possible Friday ahead of an approaching cold front as southwest winds gust around 15-20 knots. Winds turn northwest behind the front Friday night into Saturday morning, with SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conditions likely. Winds quickly drop below SCA (Small Craft Advisory) levels Saturday afternoon, then pick back up to SCA (Small Craft Advisory) levels Saturday night as southerly channeling takes hold. Fire Weather Much colder than normal temperatures will mitigate the fire weather threat. A warm-up Wednesday and Thursday combined with gusty westerly winds will increase the fire weather danger, particularly in light of the low daytime relative humidities and moderate nighttime recoveries. Winds diminish by Friday as high pressure builds in, lessening the fire weather risk. The pattern remains dry through at least the first half of this weekend before rainfall chances return to the area by Sunday.
