AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
405 AM EST THU MAR 5 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE TO CONTINUE TO SLIDE OFF THE COAST TODAY BEFORE A
WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH OF THE AREA OVERNIGHT. A COLD FRONT WILL
CROSS THE REGION LATE FRIDAY, BEFORE STALLING AROUND OUR AREA
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. THIS FRONT SHOULD LIFT BACK NORTH AS A
WARM FRONT LATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY BEFORE ANOTHER COLD FRONT
MOVES THROUGH THE AREA LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
THEN TRY TO BUILD IN FOR MONDAY INTO TUESDAY, FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER
SYSTEM BY THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO SLIDE OFF THE COAST TODAY, SETTING
UP A RETURN FLOW ACROSS OUR AREA. WITH THICKNESSES BUILDING TODAY,
THIS WILL INCREASE THE WARM AIR ADVECTION ACROSS OUR AREA, SO AN
EVEN WARMER DAY IN STORE FOR US, 10 DEGREES OR MORE WARMER THAN IT
WAS YESTERDAY. THIS SHOULD HELP TO MELT MUCH/MOST OF THE REMAINING
SNOW LEFT FROM THE STORM EARLIER THIS WEEK. THIS WILL HELP TO END
THE CHANCES OF RECORD LOW TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE AREA FOR AT
LEAST THE NEXT WEEK. FYI, ANOTHER RECORD MAY BE SET, OR TIED, AT
ATLANTIC CITY THIS MORNING. AS OF 4 AM, THE TEMPERATURE WAS 11
DEGREES, THE PREVIOUS RECORD IS 10 IN 1978.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
CLOUDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AS A
WARM FRONT WILL BE LIFTING TOWARD OUR AREA. AS THE WARM FRONT
MOVES THROUGH, THERE MAY BE SOME PRECIPITATION THAT MAY FALL
ACROSS OUR AREA. IT IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE VERY WIDESPREAD DUE TO
THE FACT THAT THE MAIN FORCING IS WELL TO OUR NORTH. THE
PRECIPITATION ACROSS OUR NORTHERN ZONES MAY START OUT AS SNOW, AND
EVEN MIX WITH FREEZING RAIN FOR A BRIEF PERIOD, BUT CONFIDENCE IS
NOT VERY HIGH ON THIS OCCURRENCE, SO NO ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED
YET. BY SUNRISE ON FRIDAY, AFTER THE WARM FRONT LIFTS THROUGH THE
AREA, ANY PRECIPITATION SHOULD CHANGE OVER TO RAIN. BUT AGAIN, WITH
THE STRONGEST FORCING BEING WELL TO OUR NORTH, THE CHANCES OF
PRECIPITATION ACROSS OUR AREA ARE MINIMAL AT THIS TIME.
TEMPERATURES WILL RISE ON FRIDAY TO BE THE WARMEST IN NEARLY A
WEEK. A COLD FRONT WILL DIP DOWN TOWARD THE AREA LATE FRIDAY, AND
STALL ACROSS OUR AREA EARLY ON SATURDAY. EVEN STILL, WE EXPECT
TEMPERATURES ON SATURDAY TO WARM EVEN MORE THAN FRIDAY, REACHING
THE 60S FOR MANY LOCALES IN OUR AREA. THE STALLED FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO BEGIN TO LIFT BACK NORTHWARD LATE SATURDAY AS A WARM
FRONT. WITH THE CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE FRONT TO OUR AREA, THERE IS
A SLIGHT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION, WITH THE MORE LIKELY PLACES TO
RECEIVE ANYTHING BEING OUR NORTHERN ZONES WITH SOME OVER-RUNNING
PRECIPITATION.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED WARM FRONT LIFTING TO OUR NORTH, SUNDAY
SHOULD BE AN EVEN WARMER DAY FOR OUR CWA, WELL ABOVE NORMAL FOR
THIS TIME OF YEAR. A SLIGHT THICKNESS RIDGE WILL BE BUILDING IN,
AND WITH A SOUTHERNLY FLOW, VERY GOOD WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL BE
MOVING IN. THIS COULD ALLOW SOME LOCALES TO REACH THE 70 DEGREE
MARK FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR. A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED
OVERNIGHT SUNDAY INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING, SO THIS WILL BE THE
NEXT BEST CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION FOR THE AREA. WITH THE
TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO BE WELL ABOVE FREEZING, ALL RAIN IS
EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD INTO THE
REGION FOR THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK, PROVIDING FOR A RETURN TO
NORMAL FOR TEMPERATURES. THEN ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS
EXPECTED FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK, POSSIBLY BRINGING MORE
PRECIPITATION TO THE AREA.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

HIGH PRESSURE ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST CONTINUES TO SUPPLY OUR
AREA WITH FAIR DRY VFR WEATHER. NOTHING MORE THAN SOME HIGH THIN CI
OVER THE FORECAST AREA EARLY THIS MORNING WITH LIGHT AND VARIABLE
WINDS. THE HIGH WILL SLIP OFF TO THE EAST TODAY ALLOWING WINDS TO
SWING AROUND TO THE S AND INCREASE TO 7 TO 9 KT. VFR CONDITIONS WILL
CONTINUE WITH ONLY SOME HIGH THIN CI EXPECTED. MID AND HIGH LEVEL
CLOUDS WILL BE INCREASING TONIGHT AS A FRONTAL ZONE APPROACHES FROM
THE WEST.

OUTLOOK...
THE FRONTAL SYSTEM MAY BRING LOW CLOUDS TO THE AREA FROM FRIDAY INTO
SATURDAY. SOME FOG IS ALSO POSSIBLE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY
MORNING.

&&

.MARINE...
HIGH PRESSURE ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST EARLY THIS MORNING IS
SUPPLYING THE MARINE AREA WITH LIGHT WINDS AND SMALL SEAS. AS THE
HIGH SHIFTS OFF TO THE EAST, WINDS WILL BECOME S TO SW AND INCREASE
SOMEWHAT LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY. WITH WARMER AIR BEING ADVECTED
OVER COLD WATER, IT IS UNLIKELY THAT THE STRONG WINDS ALOFT WILL BE
ABLE TO MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE. WITH THIS SAID, WIND GUSTS COULD
STILL APPROACH 25 KT FRIDAY AND SEAS COULD REACH 5 FT ON OUR OCEAN
WATERS. AFTER COLLABORATION WITH OUR NEIGHBORS, WE DECIDED TO RAISE
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES ON OUR OCEAN WATERS FROM 6 AM TO 6 PM FRIDAY.
A FRONTAL ZONE WILL DROP INTO OUR AREA FRIDAY NIGHT AND THEN SHIFT
SLOWLY NORTH OVER THE WEEKEND. A STRONGER COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE
AREA SUNDAY NIGHT. WINDS AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW
ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR THE MAJORITY OF THIS TIME PERIOD.
