AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
750 PM EDT WED SEP 22 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE EASTWARD THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT. THE FRONT
WILL LIKELY MOVE BACK NORTHWARD AS A WARM FRONT LATER THURSDAY INTO
THURSDAY EVENING...AND ANOTHER COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE
THROUGH THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT AND INTO SATURDAY BEFORE STALLING
IN THE CENTRAL MID ATLANTIC SUNDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN
LATER SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY, BUT LOW PRESSURE MAINLY WEST OF OUR
AREA MAY AFFECT THE REGION TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
WE HAVE CLEARED THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH BEHIND THE LINE OF
DAMAGING STORMS THAT IS NOW MOVING INTO THE RARITAN VALLEY AND
NORTHERN PHL SUBURBS.

A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR OUR ENTIRE AREA
THROUGH 11:00 PM THIS EVENING. ACTIVE WEATHER IS RAPIDLY
APPROACHING FROM THE WEST LATE THIS AFTERNOON...WITH A SURFACE
COLD FRONT AND UPPER TROUGH SET TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA EARLY
TONIGHT. SURFACE TEMPERATURES IN THE MID AND UPPER 80S THIS
AFTERNOON...AND EVEN NEAR 90 AT A COUPLE OF SPOTS... WERE CAUSING
MUCH MORE UNSTABLE CONDITIONS. LIFTED INDICES OF MINUS 2 TO MINUS
4 WERE NOTED ON MSAS DATA JUST TO OUR WEST. DEVELOPING LINES OF
CUMULUS OVER CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA AND DOWN ALONG THE APPALACHIANS
WILL SPAWN THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...WHICH WILL MOVE INTO OUR AREA
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. SHORT LINES OR CLUSTERS OF
THUNDERSTORMS MAY GENERATE STRONG TO LOCALLY SEVERE STORMS...WITH
DAMAGING WINDS THE MORE LIKELY ISSUE AS OPPOSED TO LARGE HAIL.
STORMS WERE MOVING FASTER WEST OF OUR NORTHERN ZONES WHERE UPPER
WINDS WERE A BIT STRONGER...BUT SOUTHERN AREAS WERE MORE UNSTABLE
AND MAY ALSO GENERATE STRONG TO LOCALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WINDS.
A SUPERCELL CANNOT BE RULED OUT...ALTHOUGH THIS DOES SEEM TO BE A
MUCH DIFFERENT SCENARIO THAN LAST THURSDAY...WHICH WAS WARM-
FRONTALLY RELATED. WE NOTE THAT HELICITY OVER OUR SOUTHERN AREAS
IS RATHER HIGH...MAYBE JUST SOMETHING TO KEEP AN EYE ON. ENHANCED
WORDING WILL CONTINUE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING FOR
GUSTY WINDS AND SMALL HAIL.

AFTER THE DIURNAL EFFECTS RELEASE AND THE FRONT AND UPPER TROUGH MOVE
THROUGH EARLY TONIGHT...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD TAPER OFF.
SOME DRIER AIR MAY BEGIN TO MOVE IN...BUT EVEN SO LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
MAY REMAIN HIGH...AND GFS MOS DOES GENERATE SOME LOW CLOUDS AND FOG
FOR A FEW OF THE MORE RURAL SITES. FOR NOW PATCHY FOG WAS ADDED FOR
OUR NORTHWESTERN ZONES...THIS MAY NEED TO BE EXTENDED ELSEWHERE AS
THE SITUATION DEVELOPS OVERNIGHT.

MOS TEMPERATURES WERE CLOSE AND WERE USED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE FRONT APPEARS TO SETTLE JUST SOUTH OF OUR AREA THURSDAY...BUT
WILL FAIRLY RAPIDLY RETURN NORTHWARD AS A WARM FRONT LATER THURSDAY
AND EARLY THURSDAY NIGHT. WITH THE FRONTAL FORCING AND TERRAIN
EFFECTS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS WAS KEPT FOR THE NORTHERN ZONES
LATER THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EARLY THURSDAY NIGHT.

OTHERWISE AN ACTIVE UPPER FLOW WILL LEAD TO ANOTHER FRONT APPEARING
ON THE SCENE LATER FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT...POSSIBLY DITHERING INTO
SATURDAY IF THE SLOWER SOLUTIONS TURN OUT TO BE MORE CORRECT...WHICH
THE MODELS SEEM TO AGREE UPON. SO...A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A SHOWER OR
THUNDERSTORM FOR FRIDAY NIGHT WAS KEPT FOR THE EASTERN ZONES SATURDAY.

FRIDAY WILL BE THE HOTTEST DAY IN THE SHORT TERM...AS A PRE-FRONTAL
FLOW AND EXPECTED ABUNDANT SUNSHINE WILL CAUSE TEMPERATURES TO HEAT
UP. THE WARMER NAM MOS...WHICH ACTUALLY SHOWED MORE OF A DIURNAL
RANGE...WAS PREFERRED FOR NOW AND ESPECIALLY FOR FRIDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE SYNOPTIC SETUP GENERALLY IS COMPRISED OF ENERGY DROPPING DOWN
ACROSS THE PLAINS WITH RIDGING ACROSS THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST. THIS
DEVELOPING TROUGH MAY TEND TO BECOME A LARGE CLOSED/CUTOFF LOW AS
THE FLOW BECOMES SEPARATED. IT APPEARS THAT THIS SETUP HINGES ON HOW
MUCH ENERGY DIVES OUT OF SOUTHWESTERN AND CENTRAL CANADA AND THROUGH
THE UPPER MIDWEST TO CUT OFF FROM THE WESTERLIES BY SUNDAY. ALSO,
WHETHER OR NOT SHORT WAVE ENERGY NEARING THE GREAT LAKES ON MONDAY
AND TUESDAY WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO PULL THE SYSTEM MORE
NORTHEASTWARD. DESPITE THE MODEL GUIDANCE COMING INTO BETTER
AGREEMENT WITH THE LARGER PICTURE, THERE IS STILL QUITE A BIT OF
SPREAD REGARDING THE DETAILS. IF THE CLOSED LOW CAN REMAIN FAR
ENOUGH SOUTHWEST, ENOUGH RIDGING COULD DEVELOP NEAR THE EAST COAST.
HOWEVER, THE OVERALL ADVERTISED PICTURE APPEARS TO BE SHAPING UP TO
BE AN OVERRUNNING TYPE ONE WITH A MOISTURE SURGE SO SOME CAUTION IS
ACKNOWLEDGED. HPC LEANED TOWARD THE ECMWF AND ITS ENSEMBLE MEAN AS
THESE HAVE SHOWN THE BEST CONTINUITY DURING THE LAST FEW DAYS. WE
INITIALIZED THE DATABASE WITH HPC GUIDANCE BUT DID MAKE SOME
ADJUSTMENTS BASED ON ADDITIONAL COLLABORATION.

BASED ON THE ABOVE, A FRONTAL BOUNDARY SHOULD BE SETTLING SOUTHEAST
OF THE AREA EARLY SATURDAY EVENING AS A WEAK SURFACE LOW TRACKS
ALONG IT. AN EXPANSIVE SURFACE HIGH THEN BUILDS ACROSS THE GREAT
LAKES TO THE NORTHEAST, PUSHING THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONT FARTHER TO
OUR SOUTH. AS A CLOSED LOW STRENGTHENS ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN PLAINS SUNDAY AND MONDAY, A SURFACE LOW SHOULD DEVELOP
ACROSS THE GULF COAST STATES WITH A POSSIBLE INVERTED TROUGH UP
THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY WHERE A WEAKNESS IN THE SURFACE HIGH MAY
DEVELOP. THIS SURFACE HIGH SLIDES OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST DURING
MONDAY. THERE APPEARS TO BE A DECENT AMOUNT OF MOISTURE AND WARM AIR
ADVECTION ALOFT ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE CLOSED LOW, AIMED AT THE MID
ATLANTIC REGION. A SURFACE LOW IS FORECAST TO LIFT INTO THE EASTERN
GREAT LAKES MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY WITH A WARM FRONT TRYING TO
LIFT INTO OUR AREA. THERE COULD BE SOME COOL AIR DAMMING AS THE MAIN
SURFACE LOW OCCLUDES TO OUR WEST, THEREFORE PERHAPS AN OVERRUNNING
SCENARIO MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT. GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY, WE WILL
CARRY SHOWER CHCS INSTEAD OF RAIN. THE COLD FRONT SHOULD EASE OFF
THE COAST WEDNESDAY, ALTHOUGH THIS COULD BE SLOWER DEPENDING ON THE
EASTWARD MOVEMENT OF THE CLOSED LOW. AS A RESULT, MONDAY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY LOOK TO BE POTENTIALLY UNSETTLED. WE PAINTED IN SLIGHT CHC
POPS TO START THEN RAMPED UP TO CHC POPS MONDAY NIGHT ONWARD. IT WAS
DECIDED TO HOLD OFF ON ANY THUNDER INCLUSION GIVEN UNCERTAINTY WITH
ANY INSTABILITY. TEMPERATURES WERE MAINLY HPC GUIDANCE, BUT DID MAKE
SOME TWEAKS ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST.

&&

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

THE 00Z TAF PACKAGE FOR THIS EVENING IS FOLLOWING THE ONGOING
CONVECTION WITH IFR CONDITIONS OCCURRING/EXPECTED NORTH OF KPNE
AND MVFR CONDITIONS AROUND THE LOCAL KPHL AREA AND VFR CONDITIONS
DUE TO LOWER CONFIDENCE AT KMIV AND KACY. AIR MASS IS STABILIZING
AND NOT SURE IF A THUNDERSTORM CAN MAKE IT TO THE LOCAL KPHL
TERMINALS AND KMIV AND KACY,

THE COLD FRONT ITSELF IS EXPECTED TO LIMP THROUGH THE TERMINALS
TONIGHT. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT SHOULD BE LIGHT AND SOME FOG MAY
FORM TOWARD MORNING, ESPECIALLY IN PLACES WHERE CONVECTION AND
PRECIPITATION HAS OCCURRED. WE ARE FORECASTING IFR CONDITIONS
IN THOSE PLACES.

THE AIR MASS ITSELF ABOVE THE AREA THURSDAY MORNING WILL BE
PRETTY DRY AND ONCE THE FOG BURNS OFF, OTHER THAN POSSIBLY SOME
CIRRUS AND A FEW CUMULUS CLOUDS, NO VFR CIG IS EXPECTED TO FORM.
WINDS WILL BE RELATIVELY LIGHT AND ENVISION A SEA BREEZE FRONT
WILL MAKE A FARTHER INLAND PENETRATION THAN THIS AFTERNOON.

OUTLOOK...
THERE MAY BE SOME PATCHY FOG LATE THURSDAY NIGHT AND EARLY FRIDAY
MORNING...MOSTLY OUTSIDE OF THE METRO TERMINALS. THE SOUTHWEST
WIND COULD GUST TO 25 KNOTS FRIDAY AFTERNOON AHEAD OF A COLD
FRONT...BUT FOR NOW FRIDAY LOOKS DRY.

THERE ARE SOME TIMING ISSUES WITH THE FRONT FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY MORNING. DURING THE TIMEFRAME THERE COULD BE A PERIOD OF
MVFR CONDITIONS IN SHOWERS AND (POSSIBLE THUNDER) WITH THE FRONT.
AFTER THE FRONT PASSES...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE
REMAINDER OF SATURDAY. OTHER THAN SOME EARLY MORNING FOG HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING SOUTH FROM EASTERN CANADA SHOULD KEEP CONDITIONS
MAINLY VFR INTO SUNDAY AND MONDAY. AT THE END OF THE OUTLOOK
PERIOD THERE IS A FAIRLY LARGE MODEL TIMING DIFFERENCE AS TO WHEN
THE NEXT SYNOPTIC SCALE SYSTEM THAT WILL HAVE IFR CONDITIONS
AFFECTS US.

&&

.MARINE...
THE SOUTHWEST GRADIENT WILL CONTINUE TO SLACKEN THIS EVENING AS THE
COLD FRONT APPROACHES. THE FRONT SHOULD SLOW AND WEAKEN AS IT MOVES
EAST...SO WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT LEVELS
LATER TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING.

THE GRADIENT LOOKS TO INCREASE AGAIN FRIDAY AS THE SURFACE HIGH
MOVES FURTHER OFFSHORE AND A COLD FRONT STARTS A SLOW APPROACH FROM
THE WEST. THE BEST CHANCE OF SMALL CRAFT WINDS ACTUALLY LOOKS TO BE
LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY EVENING. THE FETCH WILL ALSO
SUPPORT AN INCREASE IN SEAS...BUT THE WAVEWATCH MODEL MAY BE TOO
HIGH AGAIN IN THE SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER THE OCEAN WATERS. FOR
NOW...WILL KEEP SEAS BELOW 5 FEET INTO FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THE
PERSISTENT FETCH COULD RESULT IN SMALL CRAFT SEAS BY FRIDAY NIGHT.

AS THE FRONT CROSSES THE WATERS SATURDAY MORNING...WINDS WILL SHIFT
AND SHOULD DROP BELOW SMALL CRAFT LEVELS. SEAS COULD TAKE A BIT
LONGER TO DROP OFF AS THE SWELL SLOWLY SUBSIDES. HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING SOUTH FROM EASTERN CANADA COULD SET UP A NORTHEAST SWELL
SUNDAY...AND POSSIBLY BRING SEAS ON THE OCEAN BACK TO SMALL CRAFT
CRITERIA ON SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. AT THE END OF THE CURRENT
DETERMINISTIC FORECAST PERIOD THERE IS A FAIRLY LARGE MODEL TIMING
DIFFERENCE AS TO WHEN THE NEXT SYNOPTIC SCALE SYSTEM THAT WILL
AFFECT THE AREA.
