AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1100 AM EST WED FEB 11 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN GREAT
LAKES THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. IT SHOULD PULL A COLD FRONT
THROUGH OUR REGION LATE TONIGHT. A SECONDARY COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED
TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA THURSDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER
THE REGION FRIDAY. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE AREA IS LIKELY TO SKIRT JUST
TO THE SOUTH OF THE AREA SATURDAY, WHILE HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST
TO BUILD SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
THE LAST OF THE MORNING SHOWERS WERE LIFTING NORTHWARD ACROSS THE
POCONO REGION AND EXTREME NORTHERN NEW JERSEY AT 1100 AM.  NO
ADDITIONAL RAIN IS EXPECTED IN OUR FORECAST AREA UNTIL TONIGHT.

THE CLOUD COVER HAD BECOME QUITE THIN OVER OUR REGION BY LATE
MORNING.  LOOKING UPSTREAM, WE ARE EXPECTING NO MORE THAN SOME
CIRRUS FOR THIS AFTERNOON.  AS A RESULT, WE HAVE CHANGED THE
FORECAST TO PARTLY CLOUDY.

BASED ON THE LATE MORNING OBSERVATIONS, WE DID NOT MAKE MUCH CHANGE
TO THE TEMPERATURE AND WIND FORECASTS FOR THIS AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
MOST OF THE ACTION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE IN THE
SHORT TERM PERIOD OF TONIGHT, THURSDAY, AND THURSDAY NIGHT.
FIRSTLY, WITH FAIR INSTABILITY AROUND TONIGHT, ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED CONVECTION EMBEDDED WITHIN THE MORE GENERAL SHOWERS IS
POSSIBLE TONIGHT, MAINLY LATER TONIGHT. SPC HAS OUR AREA IN SEE
TEXT AND MENTIONS SPORADIC DAMAGING WIND GUSTS ASSOCIATED WITH
THE WEAKENING OHIO VALLEY SQUALL LINE MOVING INTO OUR AREA
OVERNIGHT. ANOTHER CONCERN WOULD BE THE TRANSFER OF STRONG WINDS
ALOFT TO OR NEAR THE SURFACE THROUGH WEAK CONVECTION. YET ANOTHER
CONCERN IS THE ULTIMATE NEGATIVE MOMENTUM FLUX IN THE POST-COLD
FRONTAL ENVIRONMENT LATE TONIGHT. WIND GUSTS COULD NEAR 50 KNOTS,
AS BOTH THE NAM AND GFS 925 HPA WINDS ARE OF SIMILAR STRENGTH LATE
TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. THE BEST AREAS FOR STRONG WINDS ARE THOUGHT
TO BE NEAR THE OCEAN AND DELAWARE BAY. SOME OF THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS OF OUR FAR NORTHERN ZONES MAY BE VULNERABLE ALSO. AT
THIS TIME, IT WAS DECIDED THAT THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO
ISSUE A HIGH WIND WATCH. INSTEAD, THE THINKING WAS THAT WIND
ADVISORY TYPE WIND GUSTS WILL OCCUR LATE IN THE SECOND PERIOD AND
THIRD PERIOD, NECESSITATING A WIND ADVISORY FOR LATE TONIGHT AND
THURSDAY, AND INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS CAN BE ISSUED BY THE NEXT
SHIFT, WHO WILL HAVE THE ADVANTAGE OF ANOTHER MODEL RUN.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
STRONG NORTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY.
THE SURFACE LOW WILL BE WELL BEYOND NOVA SCOTIA. THE STRENGTH OF
THE LOW WILL DRAG DOWN COLD AIR BUT NOT TOO FAR SOUTH OF THE CFA.
TEMPERATURES AT 80H DROP TO -8C AS AN WEST-EAST BOUNDARY SETS UP.
MEANWHILE ANOTHER COMPACT 50H LOW WILL DEVELOP ON THE FRONT RANGE
OF THE ROCKIES AND TRACK EAST DURING THE DAY ON FRIDAY. SURFACE
LOW PRESSURE WILL REACH THE WESTERN OHIO VALLEY FRIDAY NIGHT AS A
SECONDARY LOW FORMS OVER THE SOUTHEAST. SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 35 TO
40 KNOTS AT 80H WILL PROVIDE ENOUGH LIFT FOR PRECIPITATION TO
BREAK OUT OVER THE MID ATLANTIC. WELL HAVE A MIX OF RAIN AND WET
SNOW AS THE LOW TRACKS EAST BUT THE QPF AMOUNTS WILL ONLY BE ABOUT
1/3RD INCH. MOST OF THE STRONGER DYNAMICS AND VERY HEAVY QPF
AMOUNTS WILL BE CARRIED EAST WITH THE SECONDARY LOW AND OFF THE
COAST SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THE SOUTHERN LOW TRIES TO DEVELOP WHILE
MOVING TO THE NORTHEAST ALONG THE COAST BUT THE WINDS ALOFT APPEAR
TO BE TOO HOSTILE FOR THE LOW TO DEVELOP IN TIME TO CAUSE MUCH OF
A PROBLEM EXCEPT FOR THE MIXED PRECIPITATION. THE WORST CASE WOULD
BE FOR A 1/2 INCH QPF SWATH TO AFFECT SOUTHEAST COASTAL NEW JERSEY
AND SOUTHERN DELAWARE SATURDAY NIGHT. EVEN AT THAT...THE
TEMPERATURES WITH THE MAX QPF WILL BE ABOVE FREEZING WITH THE
RESULT BEING ALL RAIN SOUTH AND A MIX CONTINUING NORTH INTO
SUNDAY.

THE LOW CONTINUES EAST WHILE DEVELOPING AND PULLING DOWN COLDER
AIR WITH SOME SNOW SHOWERS DURING THE DAY ON SUNDAY WITH A BRISK
NORTHERLY WIND. HIGH PRESSURE DIGGING SOUTH INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS
WHILE INTERACTING WITH THE DEPARTING LOW OFFSHORE CONTINUE THE
UNSTABLE CONDITIONS INTO TUESDAY.

THE GFS IS FAR MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH THIS SCENARIO WHILE THE ECMWF
IS FAR LESS IMPRESSIVE WITH THE DEVELOPING WEST ATLANTIC LOW.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

VFR CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED FOR THIS AFTERNOON, WITH A SOUTH TO
SOUTHWEST WIND UP AROUND 10 KNOTS AT TIMES.

FOR TONIGHT, A COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA. THE
FRONT IS SLATED TO MAKE ITS WAY ACROSS THE AREA BETWEEN 03Z AND 09Z.
THERE IS SOME INSTABILITY FORECAST WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT, SO
ANY THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THAT IS ACCOMPANYING THE FRONT MAY LAST
UNTIL IT PASSES THROUGH THE AREA. IT IS A SMALL CHANCE AT THIS
POINT, SO WE WILL ONLY MENTION A CB IN THE TAF GROUPINGS AT THIS
TIME. CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY GET NEAR IFR WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE
FRONT, ESPECIALLY WITH SHOWER ACTIVITY, SO THIS IS REPRESENTED AS
WELL. WINDS WILL GET GUSTY JUST AHEAD AND WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE
FRONT AND WITH ANY SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS, WE COULD HAVE SOME EVEN
STRONGER GUSTS.

OUTLOOK...
PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE ENDING BY THURSDAY MORNING AFTER THE FRONT
MOVES THROUGH THE AREA, BUT THEN WINDS WILL BE INCREASING DURING THE
DAY THURSDAY WINDS COULD GUST AS HIGH AS 35-40 KTS. WINDS WILL
BEGIN TO DIMINISH FRIDAY AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE TRIES TO BUILD IN.
SATURDAY HOWEVER, AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES TO OUR SOUTH, WHICH
MAY PRODUCE SOME PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE AREA AND COULD POSSIBLY
REDUCE CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS AND SEAS WILL BE INCREASING AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING STORM
SYSTEM. WE WILL START SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES THIS AFTERNOON, AND
INCREASE TO GALE WARNINGS OVERNIGHT. SEAS ARE 3 FEET NOW ALONG THE
OCEAN, AND WITH A STEADY SOUTH-SOUTHWEST WINDS TODAY, THEY SHOULD
SLOWLY INCREASE DURING THE DAY. WINDS WILL INCREASE LATE IN THE DAY
AS WELL, AND WILL GET EVEN STRONGER AS THE LOW-LEVEL WINDS INCREASE
ACROSS THE AREA. WE MAY NOT MIX DOWN THE GALE FORCE WINDS UNTIL
AFTER THE FRONTAL PASSAGE, BUT THERE COULD BE SOME STRONGER WINDS
WITH ANY SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. THE STRONG WINDS ARE FORECAST
TO LAST AT LEAST THROUGH THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY EVENING, THEN THE
WINDS ABOVE THE SURFACE BEGIN TO DIMINISH, SO WE WILL CUT THE GALE
WARNING OFF THURSDAY NIGHT. AFTER THE GALE FORCE WINDS DIMINISH, WE
MAY HAVE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS THAT LAST THROUGH FRIDAY. A
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO PASS TO OUR SOUTH OVER THE
WEEKEND, AND WHILE IT MAY BRING SOME PRECIPITATION TO THE AREA, AND
CHANGING WIND DIRECTIONS, IT SHOULD STAY FAR ENOUGH TO OUR SOUTH SO
THAT THE WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD STAY BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
CONDITIONS.

&&

.TIDES...
THE STRONG WESTERLY WINDS BEHIND THE DEPARTING LOW ON THU ARE IDEAL
FOR BLOWOUT TIDE CONDITIONS. PRESENT GUIDANCE IS INDICATING ENOUGH
OF A NEGATIVE TIDAL DEPARTURE FOR BLOWOUT TIDES LATER THU THROUGH
THU NIGHT. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
RAIN WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD TONIGHT AS A COLD FRONT TRACKS
THROUGH THE REGION. EVEN SOME FEBRUARY THUNDERSTORMS CAN NOT BE
RULED OUT WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. BASIN-WIDE RAINFALL AVERAGES OF
A TENTH TO A QUARTER OF AN INCH CAN BE EXPECTED. ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES (AND DEW POINTS) AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT AND GUSTY
WINDS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT ARE ALSO ANTICIPATED.

THE COMBINATION OF THE RAIN, ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES, AND THE
GUSTY WINDS WILL EFFICIENTLY MELT OUR REMAINING SNOW PACK. WHILE
THERE ISNT MUCH OF ANY SNOW ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TWO-THIRDS OF THE
CWA, THE NORTHERN THIRD OF THE CWA HAS UP TO TWO INCHES OF WATER
EQUIVALENT LOCKED UP IN THE SNOW PACK. FURTHER NORTH INTO THE
HEADWATER REGION OF THE DELAWARE RIVER BASIN, UP TO THREE INCHES OF
WATER EQUIVALENT IS PRESENT. WITH THIS SAID, A THREE TO FIVE FOOT
RISE ALONG THE DELAWARE RIVER CAN BE EXPECTED BY FRIDAY.

IN ADDITION, ICE OBSERVATIONS ALONG THE MAIN STEM DELAWARE INDICATE
THAT ICE IS COVERING THE CHANNEL DOWN INTO THE DELAWARE WATER GAP. A
CHANNEL OPENS NEAR THE I-80 TOLL BRIDGE AND QUICKLY WIDENS FURTHER
TO THE SOUTH. ONLY BORDER ICE IS BEING REPORTED DOWN NEAR THE
PORTLAND-COLUMBIA TOLL BRIDGE AND THE EASTON-PHILLIPSBURG BRIDGE.

THE OVERALL FLOOD POTENTIAL WITH THIS RAIN/MELTING SNOW EVENT IS
LOW, MAINLY BECAUSE OF THE LOW QPF VALUES AND THE FACT THAT THE
RIVER ICE IN PLACE HAS BEEN ABLE TO SOFTEN. STILL, ICE MOVEMENT IS
ANTICIPATED, ESPECIALLY BELOW PORT JERVIS. THE ICE ABOVE PORT JERVIS
IS COLDER AND SHOULDNT RELEASE, OR RELEASE AS MUCH. ICE COULD BEGIN
TO MOVE AS SOON AS TONIGHT AND LAST INTO THE WEEKEND. ICE JAMS
ARE POSSIBLE ALONG THE DELAWARE RIVER, NORTH OF I-80, WHERE SHARP
BENDS OCCUR IN THE CHANNEL OR WHERE RESTRICTIONS SUCH AS BRIDGES
ARE IN PLACE.

AGAIN, THE OVERALL FLOOD POTENTIAL INTO THE WEEKEND IS LOW. AT THIS
TIME, ONLY A HALF TO THREE-QUARTER BANKFULL RISE IS EXPECTED.
