Special Marine Warning 67, NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
825 PM EDT WED AUG 12 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT SLIDING DOWN FROM THE NORTHWEST WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY
PUSH THROUGH THE REGION AND ULTIMATELY STALL TO OUR SOUTH AND EAST
ON THURSDAY. HIGH PRESSURE LOOKS TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE REGION ON
FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND BUT THE UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL CONTINUE
WITH MULTIPLE WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE RIDING ALONG THIS FRONTAL
BOUNDARY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
CURRENT SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER
THE SOUTHERN DELMARVA EXTENDING SOUTHWESTWARD INTO THE
SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES. VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A
LARGE CLOUD SHIELD OVER THE EASTERN SEABOARD WITH AMPLE MOISTURE
WITH MULTIPLE AREAS OF MODERATE EMBEDDED CONVECTION. UPPER AIR
ANALYSIS SHOWS A SPLIT FLOW PATTERN OVER THE INTERIOR PARTS OF THE
UNITED STATES WHILE A MASSIVE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE REMAINS FAIRLY
ENTRENCHED IN THE PLAINS.

A MID-LEVEL IMPULSE CONTINUES TO SWING THROUGH THE REGION DURING THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. AT 18Z, A THETA-E RIDGE WAS INDICATED ALONG FROM
THE CENTRAL NEW JERSEY COAST EXTENDING INTO THE NORTHERN NEW
JERSEY COUNTIES. LOW AND MID-LEVEL FLOW STILL REMAINS PRETTY WEAK
ALTHOUGH BOTH THE NAM AND GFS ARE SHOWING AN AREA OF POSITIVE
THETA-E ADVECTION WITH THE GFS BEING A LOT MORE ROBUST.

THE OPERATIONAL FORECAST MODELS ARE SHOWING A WIDE AREA OF
PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE MID-LEVEL TROUGH PASSAGE ACROSS
THE CWA, HOWEVER, MOST OF THE MOISTURE IS CONCENTRATED IN THE
SOUTHERN ZONES. EMBEDDED CONVECTION IS DEFINITELY NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. PWATS ARE IN EXCESS OF 2
INCHES ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA. THIS MAY CAUSE
PROBLEMS IN URBAN AND AREAS WITH POOR DRAINAGE SINCE THE FLOW
ALOFT IS VERY WEAK AND THE STORMS TEND TO SIT OVER ONE AREA FOR A
PROLONGED AMOUNT OF TIME.

KEPT TEMPERATURES A BIT WARMER THAN WHAT METMOS WAS SUGGESTING WITH
MOST AREAS UNDER OVERCAST CONDITIONS, ALTHOUGH NOT AS WARM AS THIS
MORNING SINCE WE LOST THE DAYTIME HEATING ON WEDNESDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
THE NAM APPEARS TO BE MORE PROGRESSIVE COMPARED TO THE GFS ON
THURSDAY BY MOVING THE TROUGH THROUGH A LITTLE FASTER BUT THE GFS IS
OVERALL STRONGER WITH THE TROUGH AND THE MULTIPLE VORTICITY MAXES
ACCOMPANYING THE TROUGH. THE GFS AND NAM BOTH SHOW MULTIPLE
VORTICITY COUPLETS FORMING IN AND ALONG THE MID-LEVEL TROUGH AXIS,
HOWEVER, THE GFS WAS SHOWING NUMEROUS BULLSEYES ACROSS THE CWA
WITHIN AREAS OF ENHANCED OMEGA. THIS COUPLED WITH THE FACT THAT THE
OTHER OPERATIONAL MODELS WERE NOT SHOWING THESE BULLSEYES, IT
APPEARED AS THOUGH THE GFS WAS SUFFERING FROM CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK
SO IT WAS NOT USED WHEN DECIDING THE POPS AND QPF GRIDS.

WITH THE MID-LEVEL TROUGH AXIS FINALLY MOVING THROUGH THE REGION,
LATER ON THURSDAY, MID-LEVEL RIDGING TAKES OVER. HOWEVER, WHILE THE
SURFACE FRONT STALLS TO THE SOUTH AND EAST MULTIPLE VORTICITY MAXES
RIDE ALONG THIS FRONTAL SYSTEM. THE ECMWF APPEARS TO BE A LITTLE
MORE ROBUST THEN DOES THE GFS BUT BOTH MODELS INDICATE THE PRESENCE
OF THESE FEATURES AND KEEP THEM MOVING FURTHER OFFSHORE WITH THE
UPPER LEVEL MEAN FLOW. THERE IS STILL A POTENTIAL FOR POP UP
CONVECTION WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE AND AMPLE MOISTURE ALREADY IN
PLACE OVER THE REGION AND WITH THE PASSING OF EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES.
THE PASSAGE OF ANY OF THE MID-LEVEL IMPULSES WILL INCREASE THE
CHANCES FOR CONVECTION. THE NAM AND GFS BUFKITS VERY GREATLY IN
TERMS OF CONVECTIVE INDICES ON FRIDAY. THE NAM SHOWS MINIMAL
AMOUNTS IN TERMS OF CAPE WHILE THE GFS SPITS OUT OVER 1500 J/KG IN
MOST PLACES SO CURRENT THINKING IS THAT THE GFS IS SUFFERING FROM
CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK ISSUES. WITH AN EASTERLY FLOW IN PLACE THE
LOCALES ALONG THE COAST AND FURTHER SOUTH WILL BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE
TO DIURNAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH WATER TEMPERATURES IN THE
MID TO UPPER 70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
5-WAVE MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT THE MASSIVE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
CURRENTLY LOCATED IN THE NORTHERN PLAINS BEGINS TO MOVE EASTWARD
DURING THE EXTENDED PERIOD. THE RIDGE TRIES TO LOCK INTO THE
SOUTHEASTERN STATES BUT APPEARS TO BE PUSHED OFFSHORE BY AN
ADVANCING PACIFIC TROUGH WHILE AN EASTERN UNITED STATES TROUGH
BEGINS TO SUPPRESS THE RIDGE FURTHER SOUTH.

EVEN WITH THE RIDGING NOW IN PLACE OVER THE REGION AND A DIRTY HIGH
PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE, THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY STILL REMAINS TOO
CLOSE TO THE COAST TO COMPLETELY ELIMINATE CHANCE POPS FROM THE
FORECAST PERIOD. THERE MAY BE A CHANCE OF A SLIGHT AIR MASS
MODIFICATION LATE IN THE PERIOD WITH A STRONGER COLD FRONT PASSAGE.
BUT WITH THE FORECAST MODELS IN A MAJOR DISAGREEMENT IN TERMS OF
MODIFICATION IT WOULD SEEM THAT THE STICKY AIR MASS HANGS AROUND A
LITTLE LONGER.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

CONVECTION WAS IN THE PROCESS OF DIMINISHING AT 00Z, AS A PIECE OF
VORTICITY AT 500 HPA WAS MOVING PAST THE AREA. LEFTOVER SHOWERS AND
CONVECTIVE DEBRIS WILL IMPROVE A BIT AS THE EARLY OVERNIGHT PERIOD
FOLLOWS, BUT VISIBILITIES WILL LIKELY DIMINISH TO MARGINAL VFR AND
LOCALLY TO IFR AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS QUITE HIGH, AFTER ALL
OF THE RAIN. IN ADDITION, THERE COULD BE SOME MARGINAL VFR CEILINGS
TO GO ALONG WITH THE THE FOG.

WE SHED THE LOW CLOUDS VERY SLOWLY WITH HIGHER CLOUD DECKS OVERHEAD
BY MID MORNING WEDNESDAY, AND DAYTIME HEATING WILL GIVE US A RETURN
SITUATION FOR AT LEAST SCATTERED CONVECTION FOR WEDNESDAY.

OUTLOOK...
WHILE HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVER THE AREA BY THE WEEKEND...THE FLOW
ALOFT WILL KEEP US IN A CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION AS THE WESTERLIES
TAP THE MOISTURE FROM THE BIG SYSTEM TAKING SHAPE IN THE CENTRAL
PLAINS.

&&

.MARINE...
FLAT WEATHER PATTERN REMAINS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS AND NOT
EXPECTED TO CHANGE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. WITH THAT, THE SEA
SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE UP TO 80 DEGREES IN SEVERAL AREAS. BUOY
44009 HAS A 1 FOOT SEA EVERY SEVEN SECONDS AND WAVES WITHIN THE
DELAWARE BAY ARE 1 FOOT. BY THE WAY 44009 IS UP TO 81 DEGREES WHICH
IS ABOUT 3 SHY OF THE RECORD FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.

THE STALLED PATTERN WILL REMAIN WITH US INTO THURSDAY NIGHT BEFORE A
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE TRIES TO NUDGE ALL OF THE CLOUDS/PRECIPITATION
EAST. COULD BE A STRUGGLE WITH THE UPPER LEVEL WINDS SO LIGHT.

THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE THE LIGHTNING WITH THESE THUNDERSTORMS.
THEY ARE MOVING VERY LITTLE AND THE ATMOSPHERE IS SATURATED. BE
CAREFUL GOING OUT IN THIS WEATHER. OUR SEAS DONT CHANGE MUCH FOR
AT LEAST THE NEXT 6 DAYS OR SO SINCE LITTLE IN THE WAY OF AN
INCREASING PRESSURE PATTERN IS ON THE WAY.
