AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1129 AM EST SUN FEB 14 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER EASTERN CANADA AND THE
ADJACENT WATERS OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC DURING THROUGH MONDAY BEFORE
DRIFTING TO THE EAST. MEANWHILE, ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WAS
LOCATED OVER SOUTHERN MISSOURI THIS MORNING. IT WILL MOVE EAST AND
CROSS OUR AREA MONDAY NIGHT. THE LOW IS THEN EXPECTED TO CONTINUE
MOVING TO THE NORTHEAST AND SHOULD EVENTUALLY SETTLE OVER MAINE AND
CANADA'S ATLANTIC PROVINCES FOR THE MIDDLE AND LATER PARTS OF THE
WEEK. OUR REGION SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE INFLUENCED BY THE BROAD LOW
TO OUR NORTHEAST EVEN AS HIGH PRESSURE TRIES TO ADVANCE FROM THE WEST.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
WITH LOW PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT TO OUR NORTHEAST, OUR
REGION WILL REMAIN UNDER A CYCLONIC FLOW REGIME TODAY. AS A
RESULT, WE ARE ANTICIPATING A WESTERLY WIND FROM 10 TO 20 MPH WITH
OCCASIONAL GUSTS AROUND 25 OR 30 MPH.

THE WESTERLY FLOW WILL BRING DRY AIR INTO OUR REGION. HOWEVER, WE
MAY CONTINUE TO SEE A FEW BANDS OF STRATOCUMULUS BUILD OVERHEAD
FROM TIME TO TIME, ESPECIALLY IN OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES. HAVE ADDED
A FEW SNOW FLURRIES TO OUR MOUNTAIN AREAS TODAY. THE EARLY MORNING
CLOUDS HAVE BEGUN TO ERODE, WHICH MEANS MORE SUNSHINE. WITH THE
CURRENT TEMPERATURE READINGS IN MIND, HAVE RAISED MAXES A NOTCH
THIS AFTERNOON. WILL NOW RANGE FROM THE UPPER 20S NORTH TO THE MID
AND UPPER 30S SOUTH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
EARLY THIS MORNING, AN UPPER LEVEL VORTEX WAS ROTATING AROUND THE
BROAD LOW LOCATED OVER THE NORTHEASTERN STATES, EASTERN CANADA AND
THE ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS. THE FEATURE WAS MAKING ITS WAY DOWN
THE MIDDLE PART OF THE MISSOURI RIVER VALLEY AND IT WAS QUITE
EVIDENT ON THE SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE VORTEX IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
ACROSS KENTUCKY AND WEST VIRGINIA FROM MONDAY INTO EARLY MONDAY
NIGHT BEFORE PASSING OVER OUR REGION EARLY ON TUESDAY.

FOR TONIGHT AND FOR THE EARLY PART OF MONDAY WE ARE EXPECTING
COLD DRY CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE IN OUR REGION.

AS THE SYSTEM BEGINS TO APPROACH FROM THE WEST, WE WILL SEE AN
INCREASE IN CLOUDS ON MONDAY. PRECIPITATION IS FORECAST TO BEGIN
SPREADING INTO OUR REGION FROM THE SOUTHWEST ON MONDAY AFTERNOON,
WITH ALL OF NORTHEASTERN MARYLAND, EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, DELAWARE
AND NEW JERSEY EXPECTED TO RECEIVE PRECIPITATION ON MONDAY NIGHT.

EVEN THOUGH IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO TAP
INTO A BIT OF GULF MOISTURE ON SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY, AND SOME
ATLANTIC MOISTURE AS IT REACHES OUR REGION, LIQUID PRECIPITATION
AMOUNTS WILL LIKELY REMAIN LESS THAN A HALF INCH AT MOST LOCATIONS
IN OUR FORECAST AREA.

BASED ON THE LATEST FORECAST TRACK OF THE UPPER LOW AND ITS
SURFACE REFLECTION, IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL
REMAIN ALL SNOW GENERALLY TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE FALL LINE. FROM
ABOUT WILMINGTON, PHILADELPHIA AND TRENTON SOUTH AND EASTWARD, WE
ARE ANTICIPATING A MIX FROM MONDAY AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY EVENING.
LOCATIONS NEAR THE COAST SHOULD EXPERIENCE A FEW HOURS OF RAIN
BEFORE RECEIVING ANY SNOWFLAKES. AS THE UPPER SYSTEM NEARS AND
PRECIPITATION RATES INCREASE ON MONDAY NIGHT, ANY MIXED
PRECIPITATION SHOULD CHANGE TO ALL SNOW AS THE ATMOSPHERE COOLS.

THE PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO END FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST
ON TUESDAY.

BASED ON THE LATEST GUIDANCE, IT APPEARS AS THOUGH SNOWFALL
AMOUNTS MAY BE IN THE 4 TO 7 INCH RANGE FOR THE POCONOS, THE
LEHIGH VALLEY AND NORTHERN NEW JERSEY. OF COURSE, THOSE AMOUNTS
ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE BASED ON THE ACTUAL EVOLUTION OF THE
APPROACHING SYSTEM. FOR THE PHILADELPHIA METROPOLITAN AREA,
AMOUNTS MAY RANGE FROM 2 TO 4 INCHES, WITH THE LIGHTER AMOUNTS TO
THE EAST AND SOUTH OF THE CITY. DUE TO THE PERIOD OF RAIN AND
MIXED PRECIPITATION, LOCATIONS NEAR THE COAST MAY RECEIVE LESS
THAN AN INCH OF NEW SNOW.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
WITH AN UPPER LOW MEANDERING AROUND CANADA'S MARITIME PROVINCES
AND VICINITY FROM WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, OUR REGION SHOULD
REMAIN UNDER A DRY WEST NORTHWEST FLOW. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH
TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

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

OUR REGION WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN BETWEEN A STRONG STORM NEAR
THE CANADIAN MARITIMES AND A WEAK HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM IN THE
TENNESSEE VALLEY. THESE FEATURES WILL MAINTAIN A NORTHWESTERLY
FLOW ACROSS OUR AREA THROUGH TODAY. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS
TIGHT ENOUGH TO KEEP THE SURFACE WINDS UP, AND ONCE THE DAYTIME
HEATING OCCURS, VERTICAL MIXING WILL IMPROVE SOME MORE. THIS WILL
ALLOW FOR GUSTS GENERALLY IN THE 20 TO 25 KNOT RANGE AT THE
TERMINALS TODAY, ESPECIALLY FROM MID/LATE MORNING THROUGH ABOUT
LATE AFTERNOON. THE WINDS WILL SETTLE DOWN DURING THE EVENING AND
THEY MAY SHIFT A BIT TO THE WEST OR SOUTHWEST AT SOME TERMINALS.
THE NORTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL ALSO CARRY STRATOCUMULUS /VFR/ DOWN
INTO OUR AREA DURING THE COURSE OF THE DAY. THIS HAS ALREADY BEGUN
IN THE KABE AND KRDG AREAS. THE CLOUDINESS IS ANTICIPATED TO THIN
OUT SOME DURING THE COURSE OF TONIGHT ESPECIALLY THE FARTHER SOUTH
AND EAST ONE GOES.

OUTLOOK...
THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO ARRIVE LATE MONDAY AND THEN
MOVE AWAY DURING TUESDAY. AS A RESULT, THE CLOUDS WILL INCREASE
AND LOWER DURING MONDAY. THERE STILL REMAINS SOME UNCERTAINTY
REGARDING THE TRACK AND STRENGTH OF THIS SYSTEM. OVERALL THOUGH,
THIS STORM IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE AT THE MAGNITUDE OF THE LAST
SEVERAL WINTER STORMS. SINCE THE STORM MAY END UP TRACKING RIGHT
OVER OUR AREA, THIS WILL INTRODUCE PRECIPITATION TYPE ISSUES. IT
APPEARS THAT KRDG AND KABE WILL BE ALL SNOW, THEN THE KPHL METRO
AREA TO KTTN IS SNOW TO A MIX OR RAIN FOR A TIME /THEN PROBABLY
ENDING AS SNOW/, AND RAIN AT KMIV AND KACY WHICH COULD END AS A
LITTLE SNOW. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT IF THE STORM TRACKS FARTHER
TO THE SOUTH AND EAST, MORE SNOW WOULD OCCUR CLOSER TO THE COAST.
THE STORM IS FORECAST TO MOVE AWAY DURING TUESDAY WITH ANY
PRECIPITATION TAPERING OFF AND THE CEILINGS GRADUALLY LIFTING. A
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW BEHIND THE STORM HOWEVER MAY BE GUSTY AT TIMES
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE THEN TRIES TO BUILD INTO THE
MID ATLANTIC REGION THURSDAY, HOWEVER A POSSIBLE STORM MEANDERING
NEAR NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND MAY HINDER THE NORTHEASTWARD MOVEMENT OF
THE HIGH.

&&

.MARINE...
A POTENT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM NEAR THE CANADIAN MARITIMES IS
FORECAST TO RETROGRADE WESTWARD TODAY INTO TONIGHT. THIS, COMBINED
WITH HIGH PRESSURE NEAR THE TENNESSEE VALLEY, WILL MAINTAIN A
TIGHTENED PRESSURE GRADIENT. THE CAA IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN THROUGH
TODAY, HOWEVER ENOUGH WIND AND VERTICAL MIXING WILL KEEP WIND
GUSTS INTO ADVISORY LEVEL RANGE. BASED ON THE MIXING LAYER HEIGHT,
IT APPEARS THAT GALE FORCE WINDS WILL BE RATHER SPOTTY IF THEY
WERE TO OCCUR. AS A RESULT, WE WILL HOLD ONTO THE SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY. BASED ON THE LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE, THE TIMING OF THE
ADVISORY LOOKS GOOD ALTHOUGH PERHAPS IT IS A BIT LONG ON THE OCEAN
ZONES ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN WATERS. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
IS FORECAST TO RELAX AS WE GO THROUGH TONIGHT, THEREFORE A
DIMINISHING TREND IN THE WINDS IS EXPECTED.

THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO ARRIVE LATER MONDAY. WHILE
THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE STORMS TRACK AND
INTENSITY, IT DOES APPEAR THE SURFACE LOW WILL TRACK RIGHT ACROSS
OUR AREA. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR A SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE
SURFACE LOW ALONG WITH SOME WAA. THE SHOT OF WAA WILL TEND TO
LIMIT THE VERTICAL MIXING INTO THE BUILDING WIND FIELD ABOVE THE
SURFACE, ALTHOUGH THERE MAY BE ENOUGH TO GET TO ADVISORY LEVEL
WINDS. AS THE STORM MOVES OVER THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT, A POCKET OF
MUCH COLDER AIR WILL MOVE THROUGH IN CONJUNCTION WITH A CLOSED
MIDLEVEL LOW. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR STRONG CAA ALONG WITH A
TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT. THE FORECAST SOUNDINGS REVEAL THAT
THERE MAY BE A PERIOD OF GALE FORCE WINDS ON TUESDAY AS A RESULT.
AS THE STORM GRADUALLY MOVES INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES, A
NORTHWEST FLOW WILL BE MAINTAINED OVER OUR AREA AND ADVISORY LEVEL
WINDS/SEAS MAY LINGER WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY.
