AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
330 AM EST WED FEB 3 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OFF THE EAST COAST AND AN UPPER TROUGH ARE
MOVING ACROSS THE REGION THIS MORNING. THESE FEATURES WILL MOVE
AWAY LATER TODAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD IN. THE HIGH
WILL CREST OVER THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT AND THEN WITHDRAW ON
FRIDAY. A DEVELOPING LOW OVER THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO ON
FRIDAY WILL MOVE UP THE EAST COAST THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
THE BACK EDGE OF THE STEADY PRECIP (MOSTLY SNOW) IS MOVING ACROSS
EAST-CENTRAL PA AND CENTRAL MD AS OF 9Z. IT WILL STILL TAKE A FEW
HOURS TO PASS ACROSS THE AREAS WITH THE ADVISORY...AND SINCE A FEW
STEADY BANDS ARE DEVELOPING...I CHOOSE TO KEEP THE ADVISORY UNTIL
ITS ORIGINAL 12Z EXPIRATION TIME. LOOKS LIKE SRN NJ AND SE PA
AREAS WILL END UP WITH 1 TO 2 INCHES AND PROBABLY MORE LIKE 2 OR 3
INCH AMOUNTS ACROSS THE DELMARVA. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE FROM
WEST TO EAST THIS MORNING WITH DECREASING POPS. SKY COVER WILL
PROBABLY REMAIN MOSTLY CLOUDY UNTIL LATE THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS
WILL BE LIGHT THIS MORNING AND THEN SWITCH AROUND TO NW AND
INCREASE TO AROUND 10 KTS THIS AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
MUCH OF THE SHORT TERM WILL FEATURE FAIR WEATHER AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS ACROSS THE AREA. SKIES WILL GENERALLY BE CLR TO PARTLY
CLOUDY WITH SEASONABLY COOL TEMPERATURES. OVERNIGHT LOWS COULD GO
LOWER THEN PRESENT FCST IF ANY SNOW COVER REMAINS. CLOUDS WILL
INCREASE ON FRIDAY AS THE NEXY SYSTEM DRAWS NEAR.

THE MODELS ARE STILL SHOWING GOOD AGREEMENT WITH REGARDS TO THE
NEXT LOW PASSING SOUTH AND EAST OF THE AREA SATURDAY. MOST ARE
RATHER GENEROUS WITH THE QPF (MORE SOUTH THAN NORTH). LOOKS LIKE A
DECENT SNOW IS IN THE WORKS FOR THE AREA. I RAISED POPS FRI NIGHT
TO CATEGORICAL AT THIS POINT AND WILL MENTION STEADY SNOW ACROSS
THE AREA. THE LONG TERM DISCUSSION BELOW CONTINUES TO DESCRIBE THE
SITUATION WELL.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE FOCUS OF THE LONG TERM PORTION OF THE FORECAST CONTINUES TO
BE THE DEVELOPING WINTER STORM FOR FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. THE
12Z GFS AND ECMWF HAVE COME INTO AGREEMENT ON SURFACE LOW PRESSURE
TIMING AND STRENGTH, AS WELL AS THE EVOLUTION OF UPPER AIR
PROGRESSION. THE UPPER TROUGH DRIVING EASTWARD FROM THE
SOUTHWESTERN STATES IS SEEN TO PHASE WITH THE CLOSED LOW INITIALLY
IN THE HIGH PLAINS, AND THIS LATTER FEATURE DIGS TO THE OHIO
VALLEY AND TO THE MID ATLANTIC COAST FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT,
WHICH WILL CAUSE STRONG INTENSIFICATION OF THE SURFACE LOW MOVING
OUT OF THE DEEP SOUTH AND NORTHEASTWARD TO OFF THE NORTH CAROLINA
COAST BY EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. INTRA-MODEL CONSISTENCY WITH
PRIOR RUNS, AND 12Z GFS AND ECMWF AGREEMENT, BOOST CONFIDENCE IN
THE POTENTIAL FOR A STRONG EVENT IN OUR AREA. PROBABILITIES WERE
INCREASED FOR THIS FORECAST TO CATEGORICAL AND LIKELY SOUTH AND
CENTRAL, AND TO CHANCE NORTH FOR FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. WITH
1000-500 HPA THICKNESSES MOSTLY BELOW 540 DM AND 1000-850 HPA
THICKNESSES MOSTLY BELOW 1300 M, MOSTLY SNOW WAS FORECAST. THE
EXCEPTION WAS A MIX OF SNOW AND RAIN FOR THE FAR SOUTH LAND AND
SOUTHEAST MARINE AREAS. QUANTITATIVE PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO
BE MODERATE TO HEAVY WITH SUCH STORM STRENGTH AND TRACK. ALSO, IT
SHOULD BE A WINDY STORM. SO, A COMBINATION OF WEATHER PARAMETERS
MAY HAVE SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS IN OUR AREA FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY.

THE STORM IS EXPECTED TO PULL AWAY DURING SATURDAY NIGHT, WITH ONLY
SLIGHT CHANCES FOR SNOW SHOWERS LATER SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY,
MOSTLY FOR OUR NORTHWESTERN ZONES. BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE EARLY NEXT
WEEK LOOKS LIKE IT WILL CAUSE FAVORABLE BUT SEASONABLY COLD WEATHER
MONDAY.

ANOTHER EVENT COULD OCCUR TUESDAY...BUT IF THIS LOW APPROACHES FROM
THE WEST AS GUIDANCE PREDICTS, IT SHOULD DELIVER LESS OVERALL
PRECIPITATION.

HPC TEMPERATURES APPEARED REASONABLE OVERALL, AND WERE USED
LIBERALLY. THE USUAL MATCHING WAS DONE FOR A FEW AREAS. COLDER THAN
NORMAL WEATHER IS EXPECTED FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD, BUT A SLIGHT
WARMING TREND SHOULD HAPPEN AS NEXT WEEK UNFOLDS.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

SNOW CONTINUES OVER MOST OF OUR AREA EARLY THIS MORNING WITH
MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS. THE SNOW WILL PULL OFF TO THE E AND NE AND
SHOULD BE ENDING AROUND OR SHORTLY AFTER DAYBREAK. EXPECT
IMPROVEMENT THEREAFTER WITH VFR BY LATE MORNING. LIGHT NE TO N
WINDS WILL BECOME NW AROUND 10 KT THIS AFTERNOON. SKIES WILL
CLEAR TOWARD EVENING AND SHOULD REMAIN MOSTLY CLEAR THROUGH
TONIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE PUSHES IN FROM THE WEST.

OUTLOOK...
THE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL KEEP VFR CONDITIONS OVER US THROUGH
EARLY FRIDAY. THE HIGH WILL THEN MOVE OFF TO THE EAST AS A
DEVELOPING STORM APPROACHES FROM THE S AND SW. THIS SYSTEM WILL
LIKELY BRING MORE SNOW AND REDUCED CIGS AND VSBYS FRIDAY NIGHT
AND SATURDAY. COLD HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN FOR SUNDAY WITH
VFR FLYING CONDITIONS.

&&

.MARINE...
LOW PRESSURE OFF THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST EARLY THIS MORNING
WILL MOVE OUT TO SEA TODAY. NE WINDS AROUND 15 KT WILL BECOME N
THIS MORNING AND THEN NW THIS AFTERNOON. AS HIGH PRESSURE PUSHES
IN FROM THE WEST, THE COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL CAUSE THE NW WINDS
TO INCREASE TONIGHT. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY HAS BEEN RAISED FOR
OUR OCEAN WATERS AND THE LOWER DELAWARE BAY FROM 11 PM TONIGHT TO
10 AM THURSDAY. WIND SPEEDS WILL DIMINISH THURSDAY AS THE HIGH
PRESSURE SYSTEM REACHES OUR REGION. THE HIGH WILL CROSS OUR WATERS
THURSDAY NIGHT AND THEN HEAD OFF TO THE EAST FRIDAY AS A DEVELOPING
STORM APPROACHES FROM THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST. THIS SYSTEM IS
LIKELY TO BECOME A MAJOR EAST COAST STORM LATE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
SATURDAY AS IT MOVES UP THE MID ATLANTIC COAST AND COULD HAVE
SIGNIFICANT MARINE IMPACTS. WIND SPEEDS COULD REACH GALE FORCE OR
HIGHER. TIDAL DEPARTURES WILL INCREASE TO POSSIBLY 2 FEET OR MORE.
ALL MARINE INTERESTS SHOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST INFO
ON THIS DEVELOPING SITUATION. AS THE EVENT DRAWS CLOSER, WE WILL
BE ISSUING STATEMENTS, ADVISORIES, AND WARNINGS.
