Special Marine Warning 69, NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
342 PM EDT SUN JUL 27 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA AND WEAKEN TONIGHT, LEAVING
A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE. THAT TROUGH WILL LINGER NEARBY UNTIL AN
IMPULSE DEVELOPS ALONG IT AND PULLS IT TO OUR EAST BY LATE IN THE
WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
A DECENT UPPER LEVEL JET AND MID LEVEL IMPULSE WITH A GOOD AMOUNT
OF CAPE, THANKS IN PART TO SOME HIGH SURFACE DEW POINTS, WAS
GENERATING THUNDERSTORMS WITH LARGE HAIL, HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND SOME
DAMAGING WINDS LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THERE IS A BIT OF RESIDUAL
CAPE BEHIND THE MAIN LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS AND THE UPPER JET WAS
JUST MOVING OVER THE NORTHWESTERN PART OF THE AREA LATE THIS
AFTERNOON, SO SOME ISOLATED ACTIVITY CANNOT BE RULED OUT FOR THE
FAR NORTHWESTERN ZONES EARLY, AND FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE ZONES
LATER ON, BUT THE BULK OF THE THREATENING ACTIVITY SHOULD BE OVER
WITH ONCE THE LINE MOVES THROUGH. THE LOW DEW POINTS UPSTREAM ARE
NOT PROGGED BY THE MODELS TO MOVE INTO OUR AREA, BUT WEVE BROUGHT
THEM INTO THE NORTHWEST BECAUSE OF THEIR PROXIMITY. CONTINUITY AND
GUIDANCE WORKED FINE ON OVERNIGHT MINS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
THE MID LEVEL IMPULSE PASSES BY DAYBREAK AND THERE ISNT MUCH
UPSTREAM TO HANG A HAT ON THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. WE KEPT THE
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR TOMORROW SINCE WE RESIDE AT THE BASE OF THE MID
LEVEL TROUGH, BUT THAT SLIGHT CHANCE REMAINS SILENT IN THE TEXT
PRODUCT. AFTER THAT, WE ARE FORECASTING DRY WITH TEMPERATURES AT
OR A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL, WHICH MAINTAINS CONTINUITY AND GENERALLY
SPLITS THE GUIDANCE VALUES.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THERE IS VERY GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE LARGE SCALE PATTERN IN THE LONG
TERM. HPC STARTED WITH A FORECAST HEAVILY WEIGHTED BY THE ECMWF, AND
THEY GRADUALLY BLENDED IN THE GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN FORECAST AS ONE
MOVES OUT IN TIME. WE ACCEPTED THIS. THE NEXT SIGNIFICANT IMPULSE
STILL LOOKS TO AFFECT US FROM LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. AFTER
THAT, EVEN WITH GOOD AGREEMENT AT THE LARGE SCALE, THE SMALL SCALE
DETAILS LEAD US TO GO WITH NO MORE THAN SLIGHT CHANCE POPS. THERE
DOES APPEAR TO BE A MID LEVEL BUILDING RIDGE JUST TO OUR WEST BY THE
END OF THE PERIOD, WHICH MIGHT BE A SIGN OF ANOTHER HEAT WAVE NEXT
WEEK. AT THIS POINT, THAT IS NOT CERTAIN. TEMPERATURES WITHIN THE
LONG TERM STILL ARE FORECAST TO BE AT OR A BIT ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS QUICKLY ORGANIZED INTO A LINE AND
CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST OF INTERSTATE 95 AS OF 19Z. INTENSE RAINFALL
ALONG WITH STRONG WINDS HAVE BEEN NOTED WITH THESE, AS KRDG GUSTED
TO 51 KNOTS EARLIER. WE CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THIS LINE EASTWARD INTO
THIS EVENING WITH A RELATIVELY BRIEF PERIOD OF RAPIDLY DETERIORATED
CONDITIONS. THE COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO CROSS OUR AREA THIS
EVENING WITH GRADUAL DRYING EXPECTED. BASED ON SATELLITE AND RADAR
IMAGERY HOWEVER, CONDITIONS MAY IMPROVE EVEN QUICKER THAN EARLIER
ANTICIPATED AS THE COLD FRONT MAY ACTUALLY CATCH UP TO THE
PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH. AS THE CONVECTIVE LINE SLIDES EASTWARD, PERHAPS
SOME LINGERING ISOLATED SHOWERS/STORMS MAY POP BEHIND IT AS THE COLD
FRONT ARRIVES. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR RADAR TRENDS AND ISSUE
AMENDMENTS TO CLEAR THE CONVECTION FROM THE FORECAST. CLEARING WILL
THEN WORK ITS WAY IN FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE COURSE OF THE
EVENING. GIVEN THE RAINFALL, SOME FOG MAY FORM OVERNIGHT AND EARLY
MONDAY MORNING. THE QUESTION HOWEVER IS HOW MUCH LOW-LEVEL DRYING
TAKES PLACE THROUGH TONIGHT. FOR NOW, WE INCLUDED SOME FOG AT KABE
AND KRDG AND IT MAY NEED TO BE ADDED TO SOME OTHER TERMINALS WITH A
LATER FORECAST ISSUANCE.

FOR MONDAY, THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BE EAST OF OUR AREA WITH SOME
ADDITIONAL DRYING. IT APPEARS NOT MUCH IN THE WAY OF CLOUDS WILL
FORM OTHER THAN A FEW CUMULUS OR CIRRUS. VFR CONDITIONS ARE
ANTICIPATED ONCE ANY FOG BURNS OFF IN THE EARLY MORNING. THE
SOUTHERLY WINDS THAT HAVE BEEN DISRUPTED BY THE GUSTY THUNDERSTORMS,
WILL TEND TO SHIFT TO THE WEST AND NORTHWEST THROUGH THIS EVENING
HOWEVER MOST TERMINALS WILL HAVE WIND SPEEDS ON THE LIGHT SIDE. THIS
WEST-NORTHWESTERLY WIND MAY TEND TO SHIFT BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST FROM
ABOUT 18Z ONWARD.

.OUTLOOK...
THE COLD FRONT FROM TODAY MAY TEND TO STALL TO OUR EAST AND SOUTH
MONDAY, THEN PERHAPS TRY AND LIFT NORTHWARD TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. A
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MAY MOVE THROUGH LATER WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY,
POTENTIALLY BRINGING AN INCREASING CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.MARINE...
THE SOUTHERLY FLOW HAS INCREASED THIS AFTERNOON AS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT HAS TIGHTENED UP SOME AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT/PRE-FRONTAL
TROUGH. THIS IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR AWHILE THIS EVENING BEFORE
DIMINISHING ONCE THE FRONT ENTERS THE REGION AND SLIDES GRADUALLY TO
THE EAST. THE SOUTHERLY FLOW HAS ALSO TURNED GUSTY OUTSIDE OF
THUNDERSTORMS IN DELAWARE BAY AS THE CAPE MAY FERRY REPORTED WINDS
TO 20 KNOTS EARLIER WITH SEAS UP TO 3 FEET. ONCE THIS FRONT ENTERS
THE WATERS, IT MAY TEND TO EITHER STALL IN THE VICINITY OR JUST
SOUTH AND EAST OF THE REGION LATE TONIGHT AND MONDAY. WHATEVER IS
LEFT OF THIS BOUNDARY MAY THEN LIFT NORTHWARD LATE TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY AS A WARM FRONT. AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MAY THEN TRAVEL
ALONG THIS FRONT WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY, BRINGING THE CHC OF MORE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE PLACEMENT OF THIS FRONT, COUPLED WITH
THE STRENGTH OF ANY SURFACE LOWS THAT TRAVEL ALONG IT, WILL
ULTIMATELY IMPACT THE WINDS. AS OF NOW, CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED
TO REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA. HOWEVER, MARINERS
SHOULD BE REMAIN ALERT FOR LOCALLY STRONG WINDS AND HIGHER SEAS
THROUGH AT LEAST EARLY THIS EVENING ASSOCIATED WITH THUNDERSTORMS.

THE WAVEWATCH DATA HAS BACKED OFF ON THE HIGHER SEAS WEDNESDAY INTO
THURSDAY AS THE GFS IS LESS ROBUST WITH THE WIND FIELD. THIS MATCHES
THE PREVIOUS THINKING AND OTHER MODEL GUIDANCE. WE UTILIZED SOME NEW
MODEL DATA AND BLENDED THAT WITH CONTINUITY, THEREFORE NO
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES ARE NOTED ATTM.
