AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1131 AM EST FRI FEB 26 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A VERY STRONG AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO IMPACT THE REGION.
BY THE WEEKEND, IT WILL FINALLY MOVE TOWARD NEW ENGLAND. BANDS OF
SNOW WILL ROTATE AROUND THE LOW AND AFFECT THE AREA THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON BEFORE ENDING. SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS WILL LINGER INTO
TONIGHT AND EVEN INTO SATURDAY. STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE THIS
MORNING AND GRADUALLY DECREASE INTO THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
THESE WINDS WILL CAUSE BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF SNOW. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BUILD IN FOR THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
LATEST SATELLITE AND RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS THE LOW SOUTHEAST OF NYC
WITH BANDS OF SNOW ROTATING FROM NW TO SE. THE HEAVIEST BAND AT
THIS TIME EXTENDS FROM WILMINGTON, DE TO CAPE MAY, NJ.

FOR THIS UPDATE, I DID A FEW THINGS ONCE AGAIN. FIRST, I CANCELED
THE WINDS ADVISORY EVERYWHERE. WINDS ARE TOPPING OUT AT ABOUT 35
MPH, 10 MPH LESS THAN ADVISORY CRITERIA. SECOND, I EXTENDED THE
WINTER STORM WARNINGS AND WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES UNTIL 500 PM.
ALTHOUGH SNOW WILL BE ON THE LIGHT SIDE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY (EXCEPT
FOR THE BAND ACROSS THE DELMARVA AND NJ), THE BLOWING SNOW WILL
KEEP THINGS TREACHEROUS. LASTLY, I TWEAKED SNOWFALL TOTALS.

BY EVENING, WE SHOULD JUST BE DOWN TO SOME SNOW SHOWERS.

WE RECEIVED A LOT OF QUESTIONS YESTERDAY ABOUT WHY THE SNOW
WASN'T STICKING TO THE ROADS. AIR AND GROUND TEMPERATURES WERE
RIGHT AROUND FREEZING. FOR TODAY, ALL THE TEMPS I SEE AT THIS
TIME ARE IN THE 20S, EXCEPT FOR THE LOW 30S ACROSS SUSSEX COUNTY
DELAWARE. SNOW WILL STICK MORE EFFICIENTLY TODAY EVEN WITH THE
LATE FEBRUARY SUN.

THE SNOW IS DRIER TODAY AS WELL WITH THESE COLDER TEMPERATURES.
THE REGION WILL SEE MORE BLOWING SNOW AS A RESULT COMPARED TO
YESTERDAY. WITH THE STRONG WINDS, REDUCED VISIBILITIES WILL OCCUR.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
SNOW SHOWERS WILL LINGER INTO THE NIGHT AND THE WIND WILL CONTINUE
TO DIMINISH, AGAIN WITH HIGHER POPS TO THE N.  THE LOW FINALLY
RETREATS TO SRN NEW ENG BY SUNDAY, LOSING ITS GRIP ON THE AREA, BUT
THE LARGE UPR LOW CIRCULATION WILL STILL HAVE SOME EFFECTS.  IT WILL
KEEP THINGS UNSETTLED AND SOME SNOW SHOWERS CAN NOT BE RULED OUT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FOR EARLY IN THE WEEK, BRINGING A WARMING
TREND, JUST IN TIME FOR MARCH.  HOWEVER, IT WILL BE SHORT-LIVED AS
ANOTHER UPR LOW MOVES INTO THE OH VLY AND THEN SHIFTS EWD BY TUESDAY
INTO WEDNESDAY.  AT THE SAME TIME, YET ANOTHER LOW IS FCST TO TAKE
SHAPE IN THE GLFMEX AND MOVE TO THE SERN CONUS COAST.  EXACTLY WHAT
HAPPENS FROM THERE REMAINS TO BE SEEN.  MOST MDL RUNS KEPT THE LOW
FAR ENOUGH TO THE S THAT ANY IMPACTS WOULD BE MAINLY OVER SRN AREAS.
HOWEVER, THE 26/00Z ECMWF DOES TRY TO BRING THE LOW FURTHER TO THE
N. OF COURSE, ITS A WEEK AWAY AND WAY TO SOON TO KNOW WHAT WILL
ULTIMATELY HAPPEN, BUT WITH OUR LUCK THIS WINTER, COUPLED WITH THE
TREND OF THE MDLS ALL SEASON TO EVENTUALLY MOVE N AND W WITH TIME,
THIS ONE BEARS WATCHING.  TEMPS WILL BE AOB NORMAL THROUGHOUT THE
PD.  UNFORTUNATELY, NO SIGNS OF SPRING ARE ON THE HORIZON.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

SNOW CONTINUES TO SWIRL ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING AS
STRONG LOW PRESSURE MOVE ACROSS NEW YORK CITY. THE SYSTEM IS GOING
THROUGH A COUNTERCLOCKWISE LOOP AND WILL EVENTUALLY MOVE OFF TO
THE NORTHEAST OVER THE WEEKEND. THE CURRENT BANDS OF MODERATE TO
HEAVY SNOW ROTATING AROUND THE SYSTEM WILL BE WEAKENING LATER
TODAY. IFR CONDITIONS WILL SLOWLY IMPROVE TO MVFR AND THEN TO VFR
LATER TONIGHT. SNOW SHOWERS AND FLURRIES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
TONIGHT. IF ONE OF THE HEAVIER SHOWERS PASSES OVER A TAF SITE,
CONDITIONS COULD BRIEFLY LOWER, OTHERWISE VFR WILL PREVAIL. W TO
NW WINDS 20 TO 25 KT WILL GUST UP TO 30-35 KT THROUGH MIDDAY AND
THEN DIMINISH THROUGH THIS EVENING. THESE STRONG WINDS WILL CAUSE
BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW.

OUTLOOK...
WHILE FLURRIES AND AN ISOLATED SNOW SHOWER COULD LINGER INTO SATURDAY,
THE OVERALL PREVAILING CONDITIONS FOR THE WEEKEND SHOULD BE VFR.
HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS IN FOR THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK TO
CONTINUE THE VFR CONDITIONS.

&&

.MARINE...
TOOK DOWN THE STORM WARNINGS THIS MORNING AND PUT UP GALES. GUSTS
HAVE GENERALLY BEEN CLOSER TO 35-40 KT OVER THE WATERS AND WE
SHOULD SEE THOSE GUSTS START TO COME DOWN THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
THERE MAY BE PERIODS OF BELOW GALE GUSTS, ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
NORTHERN WATERS WHERE THEY ARE CLOSER TO THE CENTER OF THE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM. THE LOW WILL START WEAKENING LATER TODAY AS IT
BEGINS TO DRIFT TO THE EAST, BUT IT WILL TAKE A WHILE FOR THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT TO WEAKEN AND EVEN AFTER THE GALE FORCE WINDS
ABATE, WE WILL PROBABLY HAVE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR
WINDS AND OR SEAS INTO SATURDAY AT THE LEAST. THE LOW WILL HEAD
OFF TO THE NORTHEAST OVER THE WEEKEND ALLOWING HIGH PRESSURE TO
BUILD IN FROM THE WEST FOR THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL
KEEP WINDS AND SEAS BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
WE WILL CONTINUE THE LOW WATER ADVISORY FOR THE LOW TIDE CYCLES
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING FOR THE TIDAL SECTIONS OF THE DELAWARE
RIVER AS WELL AS DELAWARE BAY AND ALONG OUR ATLANTIC COASTAL AREAS
FROM ATLANTIC COUNTY SOUTHWARD. CONFIDENCE IS GREATEST ABOUT THIS
OCCURRING IN THE DELAWARE RIVER AND BAY. CONFIDENCE IS LOWER ALONG
THE OCEAN FRONT WHERE THE RELATIVELY LOW SEA LEVEL PRESSURE AND WAVE
ACTION WILL COUNTERACT THE OFFSHORE WINDS IN LOWERING THE TIDES. THE
LOW WATER ADVISORY MIGHT HAVE TO BE EXTENDED FOR SUBSEQUENT LOW
TIDES WITH THE GREATEST CONCERN BEING DELAWARE BAY AND RIVER.

...SNOW SQUALLS WITH ISOLATED THUNDER MOVING ACROSS THE REGION...

AT 1:55 PM, NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR ALONG WITH
SURFACE REPORTS WERE TRACKING SNOW SQUALLS. THESE SQUALLS ARE
ROTATING AROUND THE WESTERN SIDE OF A STORM SYSTEM THAT IS LOCATED
JUST SOUTH OF WESTERN LONG ISLAND.

THE CONDITIONS WITHIN THESE SQUALLS WILL RAPIDLY CHANGE WITH
A BURST OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW EXPECTED WITH UP TO AN INCH OF
ACCUMULATION ALONG WITH GUSTY WINDS. THE VISIBILITIES WILL
QUICKLY BE REDUCED TO NEAR ONE QUARTER OF A MILE WITHIN THE
INDIVIDUAL SQUALLS. THE GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS WILL ALSO PRODUCE
AREAS OF BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW ESPECIALLY IN OPEN AREAS. IN
ADDITION, ISOLATED THUNDER AND LIGHTNING CAN OCCUR WITH SOME OF
THE MORE INTENSE SNOW SQUALLS.

IF TRAVELING THIS AFTERNOON, BE PREPARED FOR RAPIDLY CHANGING
WEATHER AND ROAD CONDITIONS IN AND AROUND THESE SNOW SQUALLS.
