AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
202 PM EST THU DEC 17 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN IN CONTROL OF THE
WEATHER THROUGH FRIDAY. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL THEN DEVELOP
OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO AND MOVE NORTHEASTWARD TO THE MID ATLANTIC
COAST ON SATURDAY AND INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES ON SUNDAY.
PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED AS THE LOW MOVES BY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
THEN BUILD IN FOR THE START OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A STRONG AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION TODAY,
BRINGING ANOTHER DRY AND COOL DAY TO THE AREA. AS THE HIGH MOVES
IN, THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN IT AND A STRONG LOW OVER THE
CANADIAN MARITIMES WILL LESSEN. THIS, IN TURN, WILL CAUSE THE
WINDS TO DECREASE BY EVENING. THE STRONG NORTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL
CONTINUE DURING THE DAY AND THERE WILL ONCE AGAIN BE SOME
STREAMERS, MAINLY TO THE NORTH AND WEST. A FEW FLURRIES CAN NOT BE
RULED OUT, MAINLY OVER THE POCONOS. JUST AFTER SUNRISE, CLOUD
GRIDS WERE INCREASED A BIT THROUGH MID MORNING WHERE SOME OF THESE
STREAMERS WERE NOTED. OTHERWISE SCATTERED CUMULUS DURING THE DAY
WILL GIVE WAY TO A MORE WIDESPREAD AC DECK BY EVENING.

MADE ADJUSTEMENTS TO THE TEMPERATURES FOR TODAY AS OBSERVED
NUMBERS ARE LOWER THAN PREVIOUSLY FORECASTED. ACTUAL HOURLY
TEMPERATURES ARE CLOSER TO THE NAM GUIDANCE AND WE HAVE ADJUSTED
THEM DOWN A DEGREE OR TWO IN MOST AREAS. WE ADJUSTED DOWNWARD
SEVERAL DEGREES IN THE POCONOS AND THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS, WHERE IN
SOME AREAS THE TEMPERATURES ARE STILL STRUGGLING TO GET OUT OF THE
TEENS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
THE HIGH REMAINS THE DOMINANT FEATURE THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT AND
ANOTHER DRY PERIOD IS IN STORE. AS THE HIGH WEAKENS AND MOVES TO
THE NE, CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE. THEN, ALL EYES TURN TO AN
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WHICH IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE GLFMEX
AND MOVE NEWD. MOISTURE WILL BEGIN TO ADVANCE NWD WITH THIS LOW AS
WELL.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
FOR THE EARLY PORTION OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD, POPS WERE INCREASED
AS ALL EYES ARE FOCUSED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED LOW WHICH IS MOVING
TOWARD THE NC COAST ON SATURDAY AND WILL THEN MOVE OFF THE MID-
ATLC COAST TO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES ON SUNDAY. THERE CONTINUES TO
BE SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO THE ULTIMATE EVOLUTION OF THIS SYSTEM
AND THIS UNCERTAINTY WILL LIKELY REMAIN. HOWEVER, VIRTUALLY ALL OF
THE MODEL GUIDANCE IS NOW CALLING FOR A SIGNIFICANT NOREASTER
BEGINNING FROM S TO N ON SATURDAY AND CONTINUING INTO EARLY
SUNDAY. THE PREPONDERANCE OF THE MODEL DATA NOW BRINGS THE SFC LOW
ON A MORE NWWD TRACK AND THIS OBVIOUSLY BRINGS MORE PRECIP TO THE
AREA AS WELL AS WINDS AND OTHER HAZARDS ASSOCD WITH A DEVELOPING
SFC LOW. THE NAM/WRF IS THE ONLY MODEL THAT HAS A MORE SWD TRACK
ATTM, AND ITS SOLN IS BEING DISREGARDED FOR NOW. AT H5. A VERY
DEEP TROF MOVS EWD AND BECOMES NEG TILTED WHICH IS ULTIMATELY
RESPONSIBLE FOR PULLING THE LOW FURTHER WWD, WHICH LOOKS
REASONABLE ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING WE ARE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE
UPR TROF WITH A STRONG S/WV LIFTING OVER THE AREA.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT WHILE NO PARTICULAR MODEL SOLN MAY
ULTIMATELY END UP BEING CORRECT, THE OBSERVED MDL TRENDS ARE
DIFFICULT TO IGNORE ATTM, AS THE LATEST GUIDANCE APPEARS TO BE
CONVERGING ON A SOLN. CERTAINLY, QPF AND SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WILL
HAVE TO BE REFINED AS THE EVENT APPROACHES, AND CURRENT THINKING
IS THE GFS QPF MAY BE OVERDONE. NONETHELESS, TEMPS WILL BE COLD
ENOUGH FOR MOST, IF NOT ALL OF THE PRECIP TO BE SNOW, WITH THE
PSBL EXCEPTION OF THE EXTREME SRN PORTIONS OF THE AREA, DUE TO A
PSBL FETCH FROM THE WARM OCEAN. SNOWFALL AMTS OF SEVERAL INCHES
SEEM PSBL BASED ON CURRENT FCSTS. WITH STRONG DYNAMICS AND UVV, A
RUMBLE OF THUNDER CAN NOT BE RULED OUT EITHER, AS WE HAVE STRONG
FRONTOGENESIS ALOFT LINING UP WITH PSBL INSTABILITY.

THE NEXT CONCERN THEN SHIFTS TO WINDS. AS THE LOW APPROACHES, WINDS
ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE AND BECOME QUITE GUSTY BY SATURDAY NIGHT,
ESPECIALLY ALG THE COAST. A STRONG N TO NELY FETCH IS LIKELY UNTIL
THE LOW MOVES ON BY EARLY SUNDAY. THEN THE WIND SHIFTS TO THE NW.

ULTIMATELY, EVERYTHING IN THIS CURRENT FCST RATIONALE IS BASED ON
THE CONSENSUS MDL TRACK AND STRENGTH OF THE LOW AND A SLIGHT SHIFT
ONE WAY OR THE OTHER WILL HAVE LARGE RAMIFICATIONS ON THE FINAL FCST.
IT ALSO REMAINS TO BE SEEN IF THIS NRN AND WWD SHIFT IN THE MDLS
WILL CONTINUE BRINGING THE STORM EVEN CLOSER TO THE CST. WHILE
THAT WOULD INCREASE PRBLMS FOR THE CST, IT WOULD PSBLY BRING IN
WARMER AIR WHICH COULD HELP KEEP ANY EVENTUAL ACCUMULATIONS DOWN.

NEEDLESS TO SAY, STAY TUNED.

ONCE THIS LOW MOVES AWAY ON SUNDAY, HIGH PRESSURE BUILD IN
BRINGING A RETURN TO DRY AND COOL WX THROUGH MIDWEEK. IN LIGHT OF
THE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY FCST AND THE
BENIGN WX BEYOND THAT TIME FRAME, THE LATTER PORTION OF THE
EXTENDED IS RELATIVELY UNCHANGED.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

THE SOON TO BE ISSUED TAFS WILL CONTINUE VFR CONDITIONS. LAKE
EFFECT STRATOCU ALREADY STARTING TO DISSIPATE, SO DO NOT EXPECT
PREVAILING VFR CIGS AT ANY TAF SITES AND IN FACT PROBABLY LITTLE
IN THE WAY OF CU GETTING EAST OF THE DELAWARE RIVER. SOME GUSTY NW
WINDS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL SUNSET AT WHICH POINT THE SURFACE HIGH
SHOULD BE NEAR ENOUGH TO END THE GUSTINESS.

WITH THE SURFACE HIGH IN CLOSER PROXIMITY, GENERALLY LIGHT WINDS
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE END OF THE TAF FORECAST PERIOD. THE AIR
MASS WILL BE TOO DRY FOR FOG TO FORM EVEN WITH THE LIGHTER WINDS
LATE TONIGHT. WE WILL START TO SEE SOME ALTOCUMULUS CLOUDS AND
CIRRUS CLOUDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE GULF OF MEXICO LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM ARRIVING TONIGHT AND ESPECIALLY DURING THE DAY ON FRIDAY.

OUTLOOK...
A STORM SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO ORGANIZE OVER THE NORTHERN GULF OF
MEXICO FRIDAY. THIS SYSTEM THEN MOVES NORTHEASTWARD AND STRENGTHENS.
THERE IS UNCERTAINTY ON THE EXACT TRACK, HOWEVER MOISTURE HEADING
NORTH SHOULD ALLOW FOR SNOW TO OVERSPREAD OUR AREA SATURDAY AND
SATURDAY NIGHT BEFORE ENDING SUNDAY. ALTHOUGH, ALL AREAS SHOULD
SEE SOME SNOW, THE BEST CHANCES ARE FROM PHL SOUTH AND EAST.
CEILING AND VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS CAN BE EXPECTED. THE STORM
SYSTEM THEN DEPARTS LATER SUNDAY WITH GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS
EXPECTED FOR THE REST OF THE OUTLOOK PERIOD.

&&

.MARINE...
THE SCA WILL BE CONTINUED INTO THIS EVENING. WITH COLD AIR ON THE
WARMER WATERS, WINDS WILL MIX DOWN FROM ALOFT TO 25-30 KT. ONCE HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE AREA TONIGHT, THE WINDS ALOFT SHOULD
DECREASE AND CAUSE THE WINDS AT THE SURFACE TO DECREASE AS WELL.
HOWEVER, THIS PROBABLY DOESNT HAPPEN TIL NEAR MIDNIGHT. THEREFORE,
THE SCA HAS BEEN EXTENDED INTO THIS EVENING.

AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE NORTHEAST FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO
AND OFF THE EAST COAST OVER THE WEEKEND AS IT INTENSIFIES. GALE
FORCE WINDS WILL PROBABLY ACCOMPANY THE LOW AND STORM FORCE WINDS
ARE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY ON THE OCEAN. GALES COULD BE NEEDED
THROUGH SAT NIGHT.

THE LOW MOVES AWAY LATE SAT NIGHT AND SUNDAY, AND WINDS SHOULD
START TO COME DOWN AS THE LOW MOVES AWAY, HOWEVER, SCA COULD STILL
BE NEEDED INTO MONDAY AS WE ONCE AGAIN HAVE COLD AIR ON WARMER
WATERS MIXING DOWN SOME OF THE WINDS FROM ALOFT.

AS THE LOW MOVES BY TO THE EAST, SNOW SHOULD FALL WITH SOME RAIN
AND/OR SNOW EXPECTED SOUTH.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
DUE TO THE EXPECTED MOTION TO THE LOW MOVING BY TO THE EAST AND THE
EXPECTED STRONG NE FLOW, WE COULD SEE COASTAL FLOODING AND BEACH
EROSION SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY.

&&

PA...NONE.
