Special Weather Statement issued January 9 at 12:21PM EST

Alert Icon Weather Alerts

Weather conditions will deteriorate as a strong frontal system
approaches this afternoon, then passes through the greater
Baltimore/Washington region this evening. This will result high
winds capable of downing trees and powerlines, tidal flooding, and
the potential for flooding of small streams and creeks. This
will create hazardous travel conditions late this afternoon
through late evening across the region.

Light-to-moderate rain will continue early this afternoon, then
increase in intensity late this afternoon, with a several hour
period of heavy, intense rainfall expected between 6 PM and 10 PM.
This heavy rainfall, coupled with already saturated soils from
recent rainfall, will cause flooding of small streams and creeks.
Do not attempt to drive across flooded roadways; additionally,
flooding at night increases the risk for motorists not being able
to quickly identify the water hazards due to decreased
visibilities by the heavy rain and darkness.

Easterly winds will increase in intensity as well this afternoon
across the region, with gusts to 50 MPH expected late this
afternoon through mid-evening. Locations closer to the Chesapeake
Bay will see higher wind gusts of 60-70 MPH. Strong winds will
increase the risk of falling trees and downed powerlines. Again,
the risk of poor outcomes resulting from high winds is increased
during nighttime. Winds will decrease after midnight tonight.

Finally, areas along the tidal Potomac River and western shore of
the Chesapeake Bay north of Smith Point VA should prepare for
moderate-to-major tidal flooding. The cities of Baltimore, Annapolis
MD, and Alexandria VA are most prone to tidal flooding, and the
coupling of heavy rainfall and strong onshore winds of 50-60 MPH
in these locations will work together to create moderate-to-major
tidal impacts.

Repeating, a strong frontal system will approach and pass through
the greater Baltimore/Washington region late this afternoon into
this evening. Small stream and creek flooding, tidal flooding,
and high winds will create hazardous conditions late this
afternoon through late evening. Motorists should expect hazardous
conditions in their evening commute, and should avoid unnecessary
travel. Prepare for the potential for power outages.

Stay tuned to your favorite media outlet, All Hazards NOAA
Weather Radio, or www.weather.gov/washington for further updates.
