AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1120 AM EST FRI JAN 1 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OFF THE EAST COAST WILL MOVE TOWARDS NEW ENGLAND AND
STRENGTHEN TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY. THE STRONG LOW WILL REMAIN
ACROSS NEW ENGLAND THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE
WILL MOVE SLOWLY ACROSS THE PLAINS AND GREAT LAKES REGION THIS
WEEKEND AND TOWARDS OUR AREA BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. CURRENT WEAK
COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL BECOME NOTICEABLY STRONGER BY THIS EVENING AS
WINDS INCREASE LATE. HAVE ADJUSTED SKY COVER TO GENERAL MOSTLY
CLOUDY CATEGORY BASED ON LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE ONLY PRECIP
IN FORECAST WILL BE ACROSS THE SRN POCONOS WHERE SOME SCT SNOW
SHOWERS MAY DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
GENERALLY A COLD AND WINDY PERIOD WITH LITTLE SNOW EXPECTED ACROSS
THE AREA. DEEP LOW PRESSURE WILL OCCASIONALLY SEND SOME SCATTERED
SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN POCONOS OR PERHAPS INTO THE
LEHIGH VALLEY. THE TIMING OF THE SNOW SHOWERS IS TRICKY...SO JUST
LOW CHC OR SLGT CHC POPS WERE USED FOR NOW. WIND CHILL VALUES SAT
AND SUN WILL MAINLY BE IN THE TEENS OR SINGLE DIGITS. WINDS WILL
BE IN THE 15 TO 25 MPH RANGE WITH GUSTS OVER 35 MPH AT TIMES.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MUCH OF THE LONG TERM REMAINS DOMINATED BY A VORTEX LOCKED OVER THE
NORTHEASTERN U.S. AND SOUTHEASTERN CANADA, ALTHOUGH THERE IS SOME
AGREEMENT THAT THE VORTEX WILL BEGIN TO LIFT AWAY AROUND MIDWEEK AND
THEN BE REPLACED BY A TRANSIENT RIDGE. A PROGRESSIVE MID LEVEL LOW
MAY APPROACH FOR THE END OF THE PERIOD. THIS KEEPS THE BULK OF THE
LONG TERM BRISK AND COLD WITH ONLY A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY
MAINLY OVER OUR NORTHWEST. WHETHER OR NOT THE SYSTEM AT THE END OF
THE LONG TERM MATERIALIZES REMAINS TO BE SEEN.

&&

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

STARTING TO SEE SOME SIZABLE BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS AND FINALLY
LOSING THE LIFR CONDITIONS OF THE PAST 12 HOURS. UNABLE TO SEE ANY
PRECIPITATION NEAR OUR TAF SITES BUT SOME SHOWERS WEST INTO WRN PA
AND NY STATE. REMAINDER OF THE DAY TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON THE NW WINDS
COMING IN TO FURTHER CLEAR OUT THE SKIES AND VSBYS. AREA GENERALLY
MVFR OR BETTER. VWP FROM TPHL AND PHL MEASURING CLOUDS AT 20,000 FT.

A STRONGER NW DOWNSLOPE FLOW WILL GRADUALLY DEVELOP LATER TODAY
RESULTING IN IMPROVED CIGS AS WELL AS VSBYS. CURRENT GUIDANCE IS
INDICATING FAIRLY RAPID IMPROVEMENT FROM IFR CIGS TO VFR BETWEEN 9AM
AND NOON TODAY. NW WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE AND COULD BECOME
GUSTY TONIGHT...BUT THE STRONGEST WINDS SHOULD HOLD OFF UNTIL SAT
AND SUN.

.OUTLOOK...
EXCEPT FOR SOME POSSIBLE COLD-ADVECTION ST-CU THERE SHOULD BE NO
PROBLEMS WITH CIGS OR VSBYS OVER THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
THE MAIN ISSUE WILL BE STRONG NW WINDS WHICH MAY GUST 40 KT OR
HIGHER SAT THROUGH SUN.

&&

.MARINE...
NORTHWEST WINDS JUST PICKING UP ON THE NOAA OFFSHORE BUOYS. AT 1030
44009 AT 340 DEGREES 14-16 KT WITH A 3 FT 8 SECOND SWELL. AMBROSE
STATION A 290 DEGREE WIND 8-10 KT WITH A 4 FT 8 SECOND SWELL AND THE
HUDSON CANYON BUOY 330 DEGREES 10-12 KT WITH A 6 FT 8 SECOND WIND
WAVE.

BIG CHANGES OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS SO CHECK BOTH THE NEARSHORE AND
OFFSHORE FORECASTS FOR THE MENTION OF GALES.

WITH THE NW WIND DIRECTION...SEAS WILL BECOME QUITE ROUGH WELL
OFFSHORE OVER THE COASTAL WATERS...BUT ALSO OVER THE LOWER DELAWARE
BAY. THE SFC LOW PRESSURE IS DEEPEST AROUND 12Z SUNDAY NEAR NOVA
SCOTIA...AND THE STRONGEST WINDS SHOULD OCCUR ON SUNDAY MORNING.
WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD BEGIN TO GRADUALLY DIMINISH BY SUNDAY NIGHT
BUT SCA CONDS WILL LIKELY PERSIST INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
TIDES DID ACHIEVE MINOR COASTAL FLOODING THRESHOLD AT TIME OF
HIGH TIDE EARLIER THIS MORNING...STATEMENT WAS ISSUED TO COVER THE
EVENT. THEY HAVE NOW RETURNED TO BELOW THAT THRESHOLD.  THE ET
SURGE GUIDANCE SUGS SLIGHTLY HIGHER VALUES WITH SAT MORNINGS HIGH
TIDE...BUT THIS SEEMS UNLIKELY GIVEN THAT A STRONG OFFSHORE WIND
WILL HAVE DEVELOPED BY THAT TIME. IN FACT...THE VERY STRONG AND
PERSISTENT OFFSHORE WINDS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN BLOWOUT TIDES ON
SUNDAY WITH LOW WATER LEVELS HAZARDOUS FOR NAVIGATION.

&&

NJ...NONE.

MD...NONE.
