091 FNUS71 KLWX 130258 FWSLWX Spot Forecast for Key Bridge Response...USCG National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 1058 PM EDT Sun May 12 2024 Forecast is based on forecast start time of 2300 EDT on May 12. If conditions become unrepresentative...contact the National Weather Service. Please contact our office if you have questions or concerns with this forecast. .DISCUSSION... The latest radar imagery shows a few light showers approaching from the north. However, these are rapidly weakening and may only produce spotty drizzle at best. The area of low to mid-level clouds will likely stick around through the night as winds have remained out of the east/southeast (onshore direction). With this wind shift, MVFR ceilings (1,500-2,000 ft) become likely overnight with some slight reductions in visibility possible. The current forecast brings visibility values down to around 5 to 6 statute miles between 0400-1000 on Monday. Forecast low temperatures will fall into the low 50s. Low clouds are likely to burn off by the mid morning on Monday. Winds eventually shift to southerly which will help raise temperatures back into the low 70s. This is underneath mostly sunny skies. Increasing moisture should allow for an increase in clouds by Monday night. Any shower and thunderstorm chances hold off until Tuesday and Wednesday, and possibly again late in the week. .REST OF TONIGHT...
