AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
342 PM EDT THU MAR 25 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
AS A COLD FRONT SLIDES THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT, A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL MOVE ALONG THE FRONT JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE AREA. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION BEHIND THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ON SATURDAY AND MOVE OFFSHORE ON SUNDAY. ANOTHER
STORM SYSTEM WILL AFFECT THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK. HIGH PRESSURE IS
NOT EXPECTED NEXT WEEK UNTIL EITHER WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
SKIES HAVE CLOUDED OVER LATE TODAY AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD
FRONT AND LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PASS
THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT, AT THE SAME TIME AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
MOVING OUT OF THE MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY IS EXPECTED TO JOIN WITH
THIS FRONT OVERNIGHT NEAR THE VIRGINIA/NORTH CAROLINA BORDER. RAIN
CHANCES ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE AFTER SUNSET FROM WEST TO EAST AS
THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES AND FINALLY CROSSES THE AREA. THE RAIN
WITH THE FRONT SHOULD AVERAGE AROUND 0.25 TO 0.50 INCHES. HOWEVER,
AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM GETS CLOSER TO THE AREA, A SECOND AREA
OF HEAVIER RAIN IS POSSIBLE JUST BEFORE AND/OR SHORTLY AFTER
SUNRISE ON FRIDAY. AN AREA OF STRONG LIFT IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP
ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE LOW NEAR THE SOUTHERN THIRD OF OUR
FORECAST AREA BY MORNING, WHICH COULD LEAD TO SOME HEAVIER
PRECIPITATION. THIS ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION COULD ADD ANOTHER
HALF INCH TO INCH TO THE TOTAL RAINFALL FOR THE SOUTHERN THIRD OF
THE AREA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
ACTUALLY, THE PRECIPITATION MAY NOT FALL AS ALL RAIN...THE FORECAST
MODELS ARE INDICATING THE POSSIBILITY OF SNOW TO FALL FOR A SHORT
PERIOD OF TIME AS THE AIR COOLS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT FRIDAY MORNING
BEFORE THE PRECIPITATION ENDS AND TEMPERATURES WARM UP. AT THIS
TIME, WE ARE NOT EXPECTING ANY ACCUMULATIONS DUE TO THE FACT THAT
THE GROUND WILL BE WARM, THE AIR TEMPERATURES WILL RELATIVELY WARM,
AND THERE WILL LIKELY BE A FAIR AMOUNT OF WATER ON THE GROUND. ALL
OF WHICH SHOULD HELP TO LIMIT THE SNOW ACCUMULATION IF THERE IS ANY.
IF ANY DOES OCCUR, WE ONLY EXPECT A LIGHT DUSTING /LESS THAN AN
INCH/ EXCEPT THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS MAY SEE AN INCH OR TWO.

DRIER AIR SHOULD MOVE INTO THE AREA AS THE LOW MOVES FURTHER OUT TO
SEA FRIDAY AFTERNOON, IN TURN ENDING PRECIPITATION CHANCES BY LATE
IN THE DAY. WINDS ON FRIDAY COULD BECOME QUITE GUSTY, WITH GUSTS UP
TO 30 TO 35 MPH AT TIMES. HIGHS FRIDAY MAY GET INTO THE MID TO UPPER
40S, BUT IT WILL FEEL MUCH COOLER WITH THE WIND. FRIDAY NIGHT WILL
GET QUITE COLD, AROUND 10 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL WITH EVERYONE
EXPECTED TO DROP BELOW FREEZING. IN FACT, EVERYONE SHOULD BE AT LEAST
IN THE TWENTIES, IF NOT THE TEENS IN A LOT OF AREAS. THANKFULLY THE
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET, SO IT SHOULD NOT FEEL
AS BRUTALLY COLD AS IT WOULD IF THE WINDS WERE BLOWING.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION FOR SATURDAY, BEFORE MOVING
OFFSHORE EARLY ON SUNDAY. THIS WILL KEEP THE WEATHER DRY FOR
SATURDAY AND MUCH OF SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES ON SATURDAY WILL NOT WARM
MUCH MORE THAN FRIDAY, BUT WILL LIKELY REACH THE UPPER 40S TO AROUND
50 DEGREES IN SOME AREAS. HOWEVER, WITH A STEADY SOUTHERLY RETURN
FLOW AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES EAST SUNDAY, TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY
SHOULD WARM WELL INTO THE 50S FOR MOST AREAS. RAIN CHANCES INCREASE
AGAIN LATE IN THE DAY SUNDAY AHEAD OF ANOTHER APPROACHING STORM
SYSTEM.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
IT CONTINUES TO APPEAR AS THOUGH WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER PRECIPITATION
EVENT EARLY IN THE NEW WEEK. HOWEVER, THE MODELS STILL DIFFER ON THE
DETAILS.

WE WILL MENTION THE LIKELIHOOD OF RAIN FOR SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY.
WE WILL DECREASE THE POPS FROM MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY, AS THE LOW
IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN MOVING AWAY FROM OUR REGION AT THAT TIME. IT
LOOKS AS THOUGH ENOUGH COLD AIR MAY FOLLOW THE SYSTEM TO RESULT IN A
LITTLE SNOW FROM MONDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY IN THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS UP NORTH.

HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO BUILD INTO OUR REGION FROM THE WEST FOR
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE ANTICIPATED FOR
WEDNESDAY, WITH SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES EXPECTED FOR
THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
WE EXPECT DETERIORATING CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT, WITH IFR CONDITIONS BY
DAYBREAK. THERE SHOULD NOT BE A LOT OF MIXING DOWN OF WINDS IN
ADVANCE OF THE FRONTAL SYSTEM, SO MODERATE SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE
FORECAST PRIOR TO PASSAGE. ALTHOUGH WE DO NOT THINK THAT LOW LEVEL
WIND SHEAR WILL MEET THE TECHNICAL DEFINITION THAT REQUIRES MENTION
OF IT IN THE TAFS, PER DISCUSSION/COORDINATION WITH THE CWSU WE HAVE
INCLUDED IT FOR ALL SITES EXCEPT ABE AND RDG. WINDS AT H925 AT THOSE
TWO LOCATIONS ARE NOT FORECAST TO BE AS STRONG AS THEY ARE FURTHER
SOUTH AND EAST.

SURFACE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO SHIFT TO NORTH BY DAYBREAK AND BEGIN
TO MIX DOWN MORE EFFICIENTLY IN THE POST-FRONTAL ENVIRONMENT. WE DO
NOT FORECAST WIND ADVISORY LEVEL GUSTS, BUT WE DO EXPECT GUSTS TO
AROUND 30 KNOTS. PRECIPITATION WILL TAKE A LITTLE WHILE TO END AFTER
THE FRONTAL PASSAGE, AND SOUNDINGS SUGGEST A TWO TO THREE HOUR
PERIOD OF EITHER SNOW OR MIXED PRECIPITATION. WE HAVE CARRIED A
CHANCE OF THAT AT ALL SITES. CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES SHOULD GO
BACK TO VFR BY OR A LITTLE BIT AFTER 17Z.

OUTLOOK...
VFR CONDITIONS WITH DIMINISHING WINDS FRIDAY NIGHT AND THEN VFR INTO
THE FIRST PART OF SUNDAY. AFTER THAT, IT LOOKS LIKE CONDITIONS WILL
BEGIN TO DETERIORATE AGAIN.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS AT H925 PROGRESSIVELY HAVE BEEN FORECAST TO BE STRONGER OVER
THE PAST FEW MODEL RUNS IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONTAL SYSTEM, AND NOW
H925 WINDS IN EXCESS OF 40 KT ARE PROGGED EVEN OVER UPPER DELAWARE
BAY FOR A TIME IN THE PRE-FRONTAL ENVIRONMENT. HENCE THE EXTENSION
OF THE ADVISORY UP THE BAY. WINDS MAY RELAX OVERNIGHT AS THE SYSTEM
MOVES CLOSE, BUT THEN THEY LOOK LIKE THEY WILL PICK UP AND MIX
DOWN TOMORROW AFTER THE FRONTAL SYSTEM PASSES AND THE ATTENDANT LOW
BEGINS TO STRENGTHEN SOME. THE STRONGEST POST-FRONTAL WINDS ARE
FORECAST TO BE OVER THE SOUTHERN WATERS. GALES ARE MOST LIKELY
THERE, BUT THERE SEEMS A SUFFICIENT CHANCE OF AN ADMITTEDLY BRIEF
PERIOD OF GALES OVER OUR NORTHERN WATERS TO PUT A GALE UP
EVERYWHERE. WE WILL MOVE JUST A BIT CLOSER TO WAVE WATCH SEAS, WHICH
APPROACH 10 FT IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT.

WINDS LOOK TO COME DOWN THROUGH THE ADVISORY CRITERION BY AROUND
DAYBREAK SATURDAY, BUT SEAS LIKELY WILL STAY UP LONGER AS THE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKS DUE EAST. THE PREDOMINANT WAVE TYPE WILL,
HOWEVER, GO OVER TO SWELLS.

CONDITIONS SHOULD THEN BE BENIGN INTO SUNDAY. AT THAT POINT, THE
NEXT SYSTEM APPROACHES.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
INCREASED TIDAL ANOMALIES ARE EXPECTED FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY.
PRESENTLY, LOCAL AND SSE GUIDANCE BOTH SEEM TO KEEP THE ANOMALIES
BELOW LEVELS REQUIRED FOR MINOR TIDAL FLOODING. THEY INDICATE THAT
THE HIGHEST ANOMALIES WILL OCCUR AROUND THE FRIDAY EVENING HIGH TIDE
FOR THE COAST, RARITAN BAY AND DELAWARE BAY. THE TIDAL DELAWARE
RIVER AND CHESAPEAKE BAY TEND TO RESPOND SOMEWHAT LATER. WE WILL
KEEP AN EYE ON THE SITUATION.
