AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1138 PM EST SUN FEB 21 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
THE CENTER OF A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MEANDER OFF THE
COAST OF NOVA SCOTIA TONIGHT, AS HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE WEST
BUILDS OVER OUR REGION. BOTH WEATHER SYSTEMS SHOULD MOVE OUT TO
SEA ON MONDAY. ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WAS LOCATED OVER THE
SOUTH CENTRAL STATES THIS AFTERNOON. IT IS FORECAST TO MOVE TO THE
NORTHEAST, REACHING NORTHERN OHIO ON MONDAY AFTERNOON BEFORE
LIFTING INTO SOUTHERN ONTARIO ON MONDAY NIGHT. A SECONDARY LOW IS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE CAROLINA COAST ON MONDAY NIGHT
BEFORE DRIFTING NORTHEASTWARD. THE LOW IS ANTICIPATED TO REACH THE
WATERS OFF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND LATE ON WEDNESDAY. ANOTHER LOW IS
FORECAST TO FOLLOW IN ITS WAKE LATE IN THE WEEK AND IT MAY REMAIN
OVER NEW ENGLAND AND ITS COASTAL WATERS INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
AN UPPER LOW WILL REMAIN OVER OR NEAR NOVA SCOTIA TONIGHT, BEFORE
MOVING OUT TO SEA. A SHORT WAVE ROTATING AROUND THE LOW PASSED OFF
THE NEW ENGLAND COAST THIS MORNING. THE FEATURE HELPED TO
REINFORCE THE COLD AIR TO OUR NORTHEAST. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE FROM
THE WEST WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD INTO OUR REGION TONIGHT.

AT 11:00 PM, THE SKY OVER OUR REGION WAS MAINLY CLEAR, BUT A BAND OF
WARM ADVECTION CLOUDS HAD MOVED INTO THE FAR SOUTHWESTERN ZONES.
THE CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED TO LIFT FURTHER INTO THE OUR REGION
OVERNIGHT, ALTHOUGH THEY MAY DISSIPATE SOME ON THEIR NORTHERN
EDGE AS THEY DO SO. TEMPERATURES ARE ANTICIPATED TO BOTTOM OUT IN
THE 20S MOST LOCATIONS, ALTHOUGH THE SOUTHWESTERN ZONES LIKELY
WILL NOT DROP OUT OF THE 30S. MINS ARE MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR
BEFORE DAYBREAK AS ONE MOVES SOUTHWEST THROUGH OUR AREA, AND THEY
MAY ALREADY HAVE OCCURRED FAR SOUTHWEST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AN AXIS OF HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE WEST, AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT,
SHOULD PASS OVER OUR REGION ON MONDAY MORNING.

AN UPPER LEVEL VORTEX WAS LOCATED OVER OKLAHOMA THIS AFTERNOON.
THE FEATURE WILL PROGRESS TO THE EAST, REACHING THE OHIO RIVER
VALLEY ON MONDAY AND EVENTUALLY PASSING OVER THE EASTERN GREAT
LAKES ON MONDAY NIGHT.

AT THE SURFACE, THE PRIMARY LOW IS EXPECTED TO PASS ACROSS THE
OHIO RIVER VALLEY ON MONDAY, BEFORE LIFTING INTO SOUTHERN ONTARIO
ON MONDAY NIGHT. MEANWHILE, A SECONDARY LOW IS ANTICIPATED TO
DEVELOP ALONG THE CAROLINA COAST ON MONDAY NIGHT AND IT SHOULD
LIFT NORTHEASTWARD ON TUESDAY. BY THE TIME IT REACHES OUR
LATITUDE, IT SHOULD BE OUT AROUND OR BEYOND 70 DEGREES WEST
ACCORDING TO THE 1200 UTC RUNS OF THE GFS AND THE ECMWF.

THE GUIDANCE REMAIN CONSISTENT IN SPREADING PRECIPITATION INTO
OUR REGION FROM THE SOUTHWEST ON MONDAY AFTERNOON. IT WILL LIKELY
BEGIN AS RAIN FROM THE PHILADELPHIA METROPOLITAN AREA SOUTHWARD.
THERE SHOULD BE A MIX OF RAIN, SNOW, AND POSSIBLY SOME SLEET FOR
BERKS COUNTY, THE LEHIGH VALLEY, THE POCONOS AND NORTHERN NEW
JERSEY.

TEMPERATURE PROFILES SHOULD NOT CHANGE MUCH FROM PHILADELPHIA
SOUTHWARD FOR MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY, WITH MOSTLY RAIN
ANTICIPATED. FOR LOCATIONS FROM PHILADELPHIA'S NORTHERN SUBURBS
AND CENTRAL NEW JERSEY NORTHWARD, THERE COULD BE A CHANGE FROM
SNOW AND SLEET TO FREEZING RAIN FOR LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY
TUESDAY, WITH A TREND BACK TOWARD RAIN FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

LIQUID PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS FOR THE EVENT SHOULD BE AROUND A
HALF TO THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH THROUGHOUT OUR FORECAST AREA, A
BIT OF AN INCREASE FROM YESTERDAY'S FORECAST. WE ARE STILL NOT
ANTICIPATING ANY SIGNIFICANT FLOODING PROBLEMS AT THIS TIME.

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES COULD RECEIVE AN
ACCUMULATION OF ICE FROM MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. AN ADVISORY
MAY EVENTUALLY NEED TO BE POSTED.

WHILE THE MAIN MOISTURE FEED IS EXPECTED TO LIFT INTO NEW ENGLAND
FOR TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY, OUR FAR NORTHERN COUNTIES MAY
CONTINUE TO PICK UP SOME ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION AT THAT TIME.
THERE COULD BE A FEW INCHES OF NEW SNOW FOR EXTREME NORTHERN NEW
JERSEY AND THE POCONO REGION. PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS SHOULD BE
LIGHTER TO THE SOUTH, AND THE PRECIPITATION TYPE THERE IS
ANTICIPATED TO BE MAINLY RAIN.

ON TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT, AN UPPER TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO DROP
DOWN THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. AT THE END OF THE DAY ON
WEDNESDAY, A DEEP UPPER LOW IS EXPECTED TO BE LOCATED OVER OR NEAR
INDIANA WITH A TROUGH AXIS EXTENDING DOWN TO THE CENTRAL GULF
COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A CHALLENGING FORECAST STILL LOOKS TO BE THE CASE DURING MOST OF
THIS TIME FRAME AS A BLOCKING REGIME PRETTY MUCH REMAINS IN PLACE,
AND SOME SIGNIFICANT UPPER-LEVEL ENERGY GETS INVOLVED. AS A STORM
SYSTEM FROM THE SHORT TERM WRAPS UP AND HEADS INTO NEW ENGLAND,
STRONG ENERGY DIVING SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE MIDWEST IS FORECAST
TO SIGNIFICANTLY AMPLIFY AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH AND FORM A CLOSED
LOW. WHILE THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES IN THE MODEL GUIDANCE
REGARDING THE DETAILS, THE SYNOPTIC FEATURES APPEAR TO BE BECOMING
MORE AGREED UPON. THE BLOCK THAT IS IN PLACE LOOKS TO FAVOR MORE
OF A SURFACE LOW THAT TRACKS FARTHER EAST AS OPPOSED TO UP THE
COAST. THE MODEL GUIDANCE OVERALL IS SHOWING THIS SCENARIO AS THE
CLOSED LOW MIGRATES EASTWARD AND CYCLOGENESIS TAKES PLACE WELL OFF
THE MID ATLANTIC REGION. THE EXACT TRACK OF THIS FEATURE HOWEVER
WILL DEPEND ON THE POSITIONING AND STRENGTH OF THE UPPER-LEVEL
TROUGH. INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, OUR CWA MAY HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE
INTENSIFYING STORM TO SORT OF PINWHEEL AROUND NEW ENGLAND AFTER IT
INTERACTS WITH THE CLOSED LOW FOR WRAPAROUND MOISTURE TO GET
PULLED INTO AT LEAST A PORTION OF OUR AREA. THE CLOSED LOW MOVING
OVERHEAD THOUGH COULD LEAD TO SOME TIMES OF SNOW OR SNOW SHOWERS
ESPECIALLY IF WE CAN GET INSTABILITY TO GET INVOLVED. HPC GUIDANCE
WENT WITH A BLEND OF THE DETERMINISTIC ECMWF AND GFS, STARTING
MOSTLY WITH THE ECMWF AND ENDING MOSTLY WITH THE GFS. THIS
COMPARED WELL FOR THE MOST PART WITH THE MAIN FEATURES AFFECTING
THE UNITED STATES, AND WAS ALSO SIMILAR TO CONTINUITY. WE
THEREFORE INITIALIZED THE FORECAST DATABASE WITH HPC GUIDANCE,
HOWEVER THEN MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS BASED ON ADDITIONAL
COLLABORATION.

BASED ON THE ABOVE, LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO BE MOVING FROM
OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST INTO NEW ENGLAND WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
THURSDAY, HOWEVER A SECONDARY SURFACE LOW DEVELOPS AND POTENTIALLY
GETS ABSORBED INTO THE PREVIOUS ONE AS IT DEEPENS QUITE A BIT NEAR
CAPE COD FRIDAY MORNING. THIS TRACK WOULD KEEP THE BULK OF THE
PRECIPITATION TO OUR EAST AND NORTH, HOWEVER AS THE CLOSED LOW
CAPTURES THE DEEP SURFACE LOW, WRAPAROUND SNOW MAY BACK INTO AT
LEAST OUR NORTHERN ZONES LATER THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY /TIMING
SUBJECT TO CHANGE/. WE MAINTAINED CHC POPS THURSDAY EVERYWHERE DUE
TO THE INCOMING CLOSED LOW, ENERGY LIFTING NORTHWARD ALONG THE
BAROCLINIC ZONE OFFSHORE, AND EVENTUALLY THE POTENTIAL FOR
WRAPAROUND MOISTURE. IF THE FORECAST CENTRAL PRESSURE OF THE STORM
IS CORRECT, IT MAY GET RATHER WINDY ACROSS OUR CWA LATER THURSDAY
INTO SATURDAY AS WE WILL BE UNDER A STRONG CYCLONIC FLOW ALONG
WITH A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT. WE CONTINUED TO UTILIZE MOSTLY CHC
POPS ACROSS THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY WITH THE
HIGHEST POPS UP NORTH WITH THE POSSIBLE WRAPAROUND. IF THE
WRAPAROUND SCENARIO ACTUALLY WORKS OUT, SOME LOCALES COULD SEE AN
ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL. THE POPS THEN DECREASE THURSDAY NIGHT AND
FRIDAY, WITH SOME FLURRIES MENTIONED ACROSS THE FAR NORTHWEST WITH
THE LINGERING NORTHWESTERLY CYCLONIC FLOW THROUGH SATURDAY. SOME
MODEL GUIDANCE HOWEVER ACTUALLY PULLS THE SURFACE LOW BACK INTO
OUR AREA ON SATURDAY. THE FLURRIES OR SNOW SHOWERS COULD LINGER UP
NORTH SUNDAY, HOWEVER THOSE DETAILS ARE EVEN MORE UNCERTAIN,
THEREFORE WE OPTED TO GO WITH A DRY FORECAST ATTM. TEMPERATURES
OVERALL ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE ON THE CHILLY SIDE.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE REMAINS NEAR THE CANADIAN MARITIMES WHILE
ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS NEAR THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.
THE LATTER WILL BE OUR NEXT WEATHER MAKER AS IT TRACKS NORTHEASTWARD
AND MOVES INTO THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES REGION MONDAY NIGHT. SOME
HIGH CLOUDS WILL SLIDE ACROSS OUR AREA FOR AWHILE TONIGHT WELL AHEAD
OF OUR NEXT STORM SYSTEM. A NARROWING BAND OF STRATOCUMULUS AROUND
THE WASHINGTON DC AREA AND POINTS NORTHWESTWARD IS TRYING TO DRIFT
NORTHEASTWARD. WE BELIEVE THIS WILL TAKE SOME TIME ARRIVING INTO OUR
AREA AND IT MAY TEND TO DISSIPATE. HOWEVER, MOISTURE ABOVE THE
SURFACE IS FORECAST TO GRADUALLY INCREASE THROUGH THE NIGHT FROM
SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST. AS A RESULT, WE BROUGHT IN HIGH CLOUDS THEN
MID CLOUDS THROUGH THE NIGHT KEEPING CONDITIONS VFR. THE WINDS HAVE
DIMINISHED TO 10 KNOTS OR LESS AND SOME LOCAL AFFECTS HAVE ALLOWED
THE LIGHTER WINDS TO TURN SOUTHWESTERLY. WHILE MANY OF THE TERMINALS
WILL HAVE A LIGHT WIND THROUGH THE NIGHT, ANY WIND THAT CAN BE
MAINTAINED WILL TEND TO SHIFT TO THE NORTH.

AS THE STORM SYSTEM MOVES CLOSER TO OUR AREA DURING THE DAY MONDAY,
THE CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO LOWER AND THICKEN. WE WENT WITH A VFR
CLOUD DECK THROUGH THE BALANCE OF THE DAY AND BROUGHT IN A MVFR DECK
TOWARD EVENING FROM WEST TO EAST. WHILE THIS STORM WILL BRING RAIN
TO THE KPHL METRO AREA TO KTTN ON SOUTH AND EAST, THERE COULD BE
SOME WET SNOW OR MIXED PRECIPITATION FOR A TIME AT KRDG AND KABE.
WHILE CONFIDENCE IS LOW REGARDING THE PRECIPITATION TYPE, WE
INCLUDED A RAIN/SLEET MIX AT KRDG AND KABE FOR NOW. THE WINDS WILL
SHIFT TO THE NORTHEAST AND EAST DURING THE COURSE OF MONDAY AND
AVERAGE 5 TO 10 KNOTS.

OUTLOOK...
THE MAIN STORM IS FORECAST TO TRACK WELL TO OUR NORTH LATE MONDAY
INTO TUESDAY, HOWEVER A SECONDARY STORM IS FORECAST TO ORGANIZE NEAR
THE CAROLINAS. THIS SECOND STORM WILL TRACK NORTHEASTWARD BUT
POTENTIALLY TOSS SOME PRECIPITATION BACK INTO OUR AREA MONDAY NIGHT
AND TUESDAY. IF THE PRECIPITATION IS LIGHT ENOUGH, THERE MAY BE
AREAS OF DRIZZLE. THERE SHOULD STILL BE SOME SNOW ON THE GROUND
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY, AND WITH THE ADDED MOISTURE PUSHING INTO
OUR AREA, SOME FOG MAY BECOME AN ISSUE. THE AFOREMENTIONED STORM
GRADUALLY LIFTS AWAY FROM OUR AREA TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY, HOWEVER
ANOTHER STORM MAY DEVELOP OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST THURSDAY AND
THEN TRACK INTO NEW ENGLAND. THE BULK OF THE MOISTURE WITH THIS MAY
END UP STAYING TO OUR EAST, HOWEVER A STRONG WEATHER DISTURBANCE IN
THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE MAY PRODUCE SNOW SHOWERS. A NORTHWESTERLY WIND
WILL TEND TO TURN GUSTY LATE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
QUIET CONDS ON THE AREA WATERS ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH
MONDAY. THEN, AS LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS OFF THE NC CST AND MOVES
NEWD, WINDS AND SEAS TO INCREASE MON NGT AND CARRY INTO TUE. THE
MODELS ARE STILL SHOWING A GREAT DEAL OF DISPARITY REGARDING HOW
STRONG THE CAROLINA LOW WILL BECOME AND HOW CLOSE TO OUR WATERS IT
WILL PASS. IT IS EXPECTED THAT...AT LEAST...SCA FLAGS MAY NEED TO
BE ISSUED TUE OR PERHAPS LATE MON NGT. BASED ON THE LATEST
GUIDANCE, WITH THE LOW WRAPPING UP NR NEW ENG, A WINDY PERIOD IS
IN STORE AND WE COULD END UP WITH PROLONGED SCA FLAGS THOUGH MUCH
OF THE WEEK.
