What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this areal flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly wrote its last area forecast discussion before this areal flood warning went out at Aug 2, 3:05 PM EDT, 3 hours 20 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 2, 3:05 PM EDT, 3 hours 20 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ 305 PM EDT SUN AUG 2 2009 .SYNOPSIS... A COLD FRONT WILL COME DOWN FROM THE NORTHWEST AND CROSS THE REGION TONIGHT BEFORE STALLING TO THE SOUTH. ANOTHER COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO CROSS THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY AND MIGHT MAKE IT A BIT FARTHER SOUTH INTO DELMARVA THAN ITS PREDECESSORS BEFORE DISSIPATING. THIS WOULD PERMIT A HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM TO BUILD INTO THE NORTHERN MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES FOR THE END OF THE WORK WEEK. A WARM FRONT IS THEN EXPECTED TO START MOVING TOWARD THE REGION FOR NEXT WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... THE WRF-NMM AND GFS HAVE FLIPPED WITH THE 12Z ANALYSIS WITH THE GFS HAVING THE BETTER ONE TODAY. THE ONLY RELATIVE BENEFIT OF THE THUNDERSTORMS GOING TO TOWN QUICKLY TODAY IS THAT IT HAS CUT DOWN, BUT NOT ELIMINATED ALL OF THE SEVERE WEATHER. FLASH FLOODING IS ANOTHER PROBLEM AS A THIRD ROUND OF HEAVY RAIN WAS TOO MUCH FOR STREAMS AND CREEKS TO HANDLE. DOPPLER RADAR STORM TOTAL ESTIMATES REACHED AROUND 4.5 INCHES FROM CHESTER COUNTY NORTHEAST INTO BUCKS COUNTY. OUR RADAR UNDERESTIMATED IN HUNTERDON COUNTY, BUT SIMILAR AMOUNTS WERE REPORTED IN THAT COUNTY. THE STRONG SHORT WAVE AND LLVL THETA E AXIS ARE EXITING THE COAST AS WE SPEAK. THEY COINCIDED WITH THE ENTRANCE REGION OF THE H2.5 JET AND MADE FOR A PERFECTLY TIMED COUPLET FOR HEAVY RAIN. WHILE THE COLD FRONT IS STILL FARTHER TO THE W AND THERE IS AVAILABLE INSTABILITY, THE UPPER AIR SUPPORT IS NOT AS ROBUST AS IT IS SHIFTING OFFSHORE. THUS WE WILL CANCEL THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH. THE WRF-NMM HAD THE RIGHT IDEA YESTERDAY AS PCPN CHANCES SHOULD DIMINISH BEFORE DAWN ACROSS OUR CWA AND POPS AND GRIDS FOLLOW THIS THOUGHT AS THE GFS IS ALSO NOW FORECASTING. WITH ALL OF THE HEAVY RAIN WE HAVE ADDED FOG TO THE GRIDS FOR ALL LAND AREAS. && .SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... WE ARE GOING TO GO WITH THE PAST PERFORMANCE AND FUTURE TRENDS CAVEAT FOR MONDAY. THE DAY AFTER THESE EVENTS, WE HAVE LITTLE IF ANY CONVECTION. THE WRF-NMM FCST SOUNDING IS SHOWING A CAP EVERYWHERE EXCEPT IN OUR DELMARVA ZONES. THE GFS HAS ALL AREAS CAPPED. SO IF OUR DRY TURN FOR MONDAY IS WRONG, IT WOULD BE IN OUR SRN CWA. STAT GUIDANCE LOOKS REASONABLE FOR MAX TEMPS. NO PCPN EXPECTED FOR MON NIGHT AND WITH THE DROP IN DEW POINTS EXPECTED TO OCCUR, AREAS AWAY FROM THE COAST AND URBAN AREAS MIGHT HAVE A PLEASANT SLEEPING NIGHT AS WE ARE NOT EXPECTING MANY CLOUDS. FORECAST SOUNDINGS FOR TUESDAY ARE NOT CAPPED. BUT AS IS OFTEN IS THE CASE WITHOUT AN EXPECTED ATMOSPHERIC TRIGGER, THE AREAL COVERAGE OF TSRAS TENDS TO UNDERWHELM. WE THUS HAVE USED OUR COLLABORATIVE EFFORT STUDY WITH KEAN COLLEGE TO LIMIT MENTION OF TSRAS IN THE MORE FAVORABLE AREAS UNDER SOUTHWEST FLOW. FULL SUN MACROS LEAN MORE TOWARD NAM MOS THAN GFS MOS FOR MIN TEMPS. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... THE NEXT ORGANIZED THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER AND OR FLOODING WOULD BE ON WEDNESDAY. THERE ARE STILL MODEL DIFFERENCES AS TO THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. IN THE SUMMER ITS NEVER GOOD TO BE ON THE FAST END OF THE ENVELOPE, SO WE HAVE DECIDED TO GO WITH THE SLOWER MODEL SOLUTIONS AND KEEP A HEALTHY CHANCE GOING. UNFORTUNATELY BEYOND THIS THE EXTENDED PATTERN HAS NOT CHANGED MUCH IN THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. MULTIPLE WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE RIDE ALONG A STALLED FRONTAL SYSTEM PARKED OVER THE REGION. HIGH PRESSURE TRIES TO DRY US OUT ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY BUT WITH THE FRONT STILL WAVERING SOUTH OF THE REGION, WE COULD SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF PRECIPITATION SHOULD IT DECIDED TO MOVE FURTHER NORTH. && .AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS. A RATHER HECTIC DAY FOR THE AVIATION COMMUNITY. A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MOVED THROUGH MOST OF THE AREA LATE IN THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON, AND IS NOW PUSHING OF THE COAST. THESE STORMS BROUGHT STRONG WINDS AND IFR CONDITIONS TO MUCH OF THE AREA. BEHIND THE LINE OF STORMS, CONDITIONS STILL REMAIN VARIABLE BETWEEN VFR AND MVFR, WITH AN ISOLATED IFR TAF OR TWO. THERE MAY BE A BREAK IN THE CLOUDS LATER IN THE AFTERNOON, SO THERE MAY BE SOME CONVECTION. HOWEVER, IT LOOKS TO BE ISOLATED, SO WE WILL NOT INCLUDE THE MENTION OF THUNDER IN THE TAFS, ONLY SHOWERS WITH A CB IN THE CLOUD GROUP. THE COLD FRONT IS NOT EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH TILL AROUND MIDNIGHT OR AFTER. WITH THE SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MOISTURE THAT WILL REMAIN FROM THE HEAVY RAIN THIS AFTERNOON, AND WITH WINDS LIKELY TO BE LIGHT OR CALM OVERNIGHT, THERE IS A CHANCE OF LOW CLOUDS OR FOG TOWARD SUNRISE TOMORROW. AFTER SUNRISE, ANY LOW CLOUDS/FOG WILL DISSIPATE PRETTY RAPIDLY, AND TOMORROW SHOULD TURN OUT TO BE A PRETTY NICE DAY. OUTLOOK... THERE IS ANOTHER CHANCE OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY AS ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL BE APPROACHING THE AREA. AFTER THAT, THERE MAY BE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. && .MARINE... SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE OCCURRING LATE THIS AFTERNOON, AND WILL BE PUSHING FURTHER OFFSHORE THIS EVENING. BEHIND THESE STORMS, CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN CALM, EVEN AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD IN FOR MONDAY THROUGH MIDWEEK. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION AROUND WEDNESDAY. IT APPEARS THAT WINDS AND SEAS OUTSIDE OF TSTMS WILL REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. && .PHI WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...NONE. NJ...NONE. DE...NONE.
