Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
228 PM EDT Thu Sep 10 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will drop south of the area through the first part
of the weekend, then return northward as a warm front Sunday.
Another cold front will likely impact the area early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A surface trough between an approaching cold front from the west
and a tropical disturbance offshore has resulted in a band of
heavy showers and thunderstorms right up and down I-95 from near
Laurel, Maryland, through the immediate Washington DC metro area
southward into western Charles County, Maryland. Additional
showers and thunderstorms will likely develop on either side of
this axis through nightfall, with additional flash flooding
likely. Rainfall amounts (preliminary, unofficial) of up to 5
inches have been reported in a span of 90 minutes. This is
occurring due to deep, abundant tropical moisture with PWs near
2.5 inches and high/deep warm cloud layers.

Activity should gradually diminish this evening, though some
local expansions/extensions of the Flash Flood Watch may be
necessary. Remember, do not drive around barricades or across
flooded roadways.

Some patchy fog and drizzle is likely overnight with a moist
atmosphere and not much wind as the front sits overhead.
