AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1055 AM EST WED MAR 3 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL INTENSIFY AS IT MOVES NORTHEASTWARD
TODAY. AN UPPER LEVEL FEATURE WILL CROSS THE REGION TONIGHT. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST ON THURSDAY AND REMAIN
THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
THE PRECIPITATION THAT COVERED THE AREA EARLIER THIS MORNING HAS
DISSIPATED OR MOVED OFF THE COAST. MOST PRECIPITATION THAT FELL
EARLIER, EXCEPT FOR THE POCONOS, WAS IN THE FORM OF RAIN, WITH A
LITTLE SNOW MIXED WITH IT. WE HAVE DECIDED TO LOWER THE POPS FOR
THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY. THERE IS AN AREA OF LIGHT PRECIPITATION
DEVELOPING OVER CENTRAL NEW JERSEY AND FAR EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA,
AND THE PRECIPITATION OVER THE WATERS IS TRYING TO SWING BACK
TOWARD THE COAST. FOR THIS REASON, WE DECIDED NOT TO REMOVE THE
PRECIPITATION COMPLETELY FROM THE FORECAST. MOST PRECIPITATION THE
REST OF THE DAY SHOULD FALL AS RAIN, EXCEPT FOR THE POCONOS AND
NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY, ALTHOUGH IF THE PRECIPITATION FALLS HARD
ENOUGH, IT MAY BRIEFLY CHANGE OVER TO SNOW. HOWEVER, IF ANY SNOW
DOES FALL, OUTSIDE OF THE POCONOS AND NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY, IT
WILL NOT STICK TO THE ROADS AND MAY ONLY CREATE A BRIEF DUSTING ON
GRASSY SURFACES. TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON WILL GENERALLY BE IN
THE MID TO UPPER 30S, WITH A FEW AREAS AROUND 40 DEGREES.

WINDS WILL BE GUSTY TODAY BUT WE DO NOT EXPECT TO REACH ADVISORY
CRITERIA. IT WILL BE WINDIER ALONG THE COAST WITH GUSTS UP AROUND 30
MPH AND POSSIBLY A FEW HIGHER GUSTS RIGHT ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST.
WINDS WILL DIMINISH AS WE HEAD TOWARD EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS THE COASTAL LOW PULLS AWAY, THE UPPER LEVEL LOW MAKES ITS MOVE
ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT. AS THIS FEATURE MOVES OFF TO THE EAST,
OUR CHANCES FOR MORE SNOW AND RAIN SHOWERS WILL DIMINISH. BY LATE
THURSDAY WE SHOULD BE PRETTY DRY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM
THE WEST AND THIS IS FORECAST TO LAST INTO THE LONG TERM PORTION
OF THE FORECAST.

TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY SHOULD REACH INTO THE 40S FOR
HIGHS AND INTO THE 20S OVERNIGHT, WITH COOLER/COLDER TEMPERATURES IN
THE FAR NORTHERN AREAS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE SIGNALS CONTINUE TO POINT TO A PATTERN CHANGE AS A PERSISTENT
EAST COAST TROUGH IS FINALLY GOING TO BE PUSHED OUT AS THE BLOCKING
BREAKS DOWN, AT LEAST FOR A TIME. AS POTENT ENERGY BECOMES AIMED
INTO CALIFORNIA, DOWNSTREAM RIDGING SHOULD FINALLY BE SHOVED
EASTWARD. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR A SURFACE HIGH TO BUILD ACROSS THE
EAST OVER THE WEEKEND. HOWEVER, AN INITIAL PIECE OF ENERGY ROUNDING
THE UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE LOOKS TO FLATTEN IT OUT SOME LATE SUNDAY
THROUGH MONDAY. OVERALL THOUGH, THERE APPEARS TO BE A TRANQUIL
PERIOD OF WEATHER DURING THIS TIME FRAME ALONG WITH MODERATING
TEMPERATURES.

HPC GENERALLY WENT WITH THE ECMWF ENSEMBLE MEAN DURING THIS ENTIRE
TIME FRAME, AS IT CONTINUES TO OFFER A COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE SLOWER
DETERMINISTIC ECMWF AND THE PROGRESSIVE GFS/GEFS MEAN. THE 12Z
OPERATIONAL ECMWF LOOKS A LITTLE FASTER NOW WITH THE DIGGING TROUGH
BACK INTO THE EAST LATE SUNDAY AND MONDAY. THIS WILL PROBABLY BE THE
BEGINNING OF THE EAST COAST TROUGH TO RELOAD ONCE AGAIN, ALTHOUGH
THIS WILL DEPEND MOSTLY ON WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE STRONG ENERGY IN
THE WEST AND HOW IT EJECTS EASTWARD. THE PATTERN MAY BE PROGRESSIVE
ENOUGH TO KICK THE NEW TROUGH OUT OF THE EAST, HOWEVER THERE MAY BE
PLENTY OF ENERGY AROUND SO WE SHALL SEE HOW THIS EVOLVES.

BASED ON THE ABOVE, HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO SETTLE INTO OUR
AREA THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT, ALTHOUGH ITS CENTER MAY ACTUALLY END UP
SLIDING TO OUR SOUTH. A NORTHERN STREAM TYPE PIECE OF ENERGY LOOKS
TO CARVE OUT A TROUGH YET AGAIN IN THE GREAT LAKES REGION AND THEN
DIG INTO THE NORTHEAST/MID ATLANTIC EARLY NEXT WEEK. GIVEN THE
POSITION OF THE SURFACE HIGH, THE GULF OF MEXICO MAY BE CLOSED FOR
BUSINESS WITH THE INCOMING COLD FRONT LATE MONDAY THEREFORE LIMITING
THE MOISTURE FLOW NORTHWARD. WHILE OUR CONFIDENCE IS LOW AT THIS TIME
FRAME, WE WILL GO WITH SOME SLIGHT CHC TO LOW CHC POPS FOR A TIME
MONDAY AND TUESDAY MAINLY ACROSS OUR NORTHWEST AND WESTERN ZONES.
OTHERWISE, A DRY FORECAST IS MAINTAINED. THE COLD FRONT LATE MONDAY
MAY END UP STALLING TO OUR SOUTH WITH ANOTHER WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE
POSSIBLY RIDING ALONG THE BOUNDARY BEYOND THIS FORECAST TIME
FRAME.

&&

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

LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE PAINTS A LESS BLEAK PICTURE FOR THIS
AFTERNOON. THERE MAY BE SOME AREAS WHERE VSBYS GO DOWN TO IFR IN
MIXED PRECIPITATION OR SNOW, BUT THE BULK OF THE RESTRICTIONS NOW
LOOK TO BE DUE TO CEILINGS. THEY MAINLY WILL BE IN THE MVFR RANGE.
WINDS WILL INCREASE TODAY AND GUSTS IN THE 25 TO 30 KT RANGE ARE
EXPECTED. WINDS WILL BE N TO NE THIS MORNING AND THEN BACK AROUND TO
NW THIS AFTERNOON. VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD RETURN THIS EVENING AS
DRIER AIR ARRIVES ON THE GUSTY NW WIND.

OUTLOOK...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST FOR THE END OF THE WEEK.
HOWEVER, AT LEAST SOME STRATOCUMULUS MAY LINGER TONIGHT AND THURSDAY
DUE TO SOME LINGERING LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE. A NORTHWESTERLY WIND MAY
BE A LITTLE GUSTY EACH AFTERNOON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, AROUND 20
KNOTS, BUT NO PRECIPITATION IS ANTICIPATED. HIGH PRESSURE THEN EDGES
CLOSER TO OUR AREA SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WITH NO SIGNIFICANT WEATHER
EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

&&

.MARINE...
THE GALE FLAG WILL CONTINUE ON THE WATERS TODAY AND EARLY TONIGHT.
THE MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT THAT THE LOW OFF THE NC COAST
EARLY TODAY WILL CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY AS IT MOVES OUT INTO THE
NORTH ATLANTIC. A SIZABLE AREA OF GALE FORCE WINDS WILL BE ACROSS
THE WATERS TODAY WITH GALE GUSTS ON THE UPPER DELAWARE BAY. THE GALE
WILL LIKELY BE REPLACED BY A SCA FLAG WHICH WILL LIKELY EXTEND INTO
THURSDAY OR PERHAPS EARLY FRIDAY...DEPENDING HOW QUICKLY THE SEAS
DIMINISH.

HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE MIDWEST WILL MOVE ACROSS THE WATERS LATER
FRIDAY AND PERSIST INTO THE WEEKEND. WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD BE BELOW
SCA CRITERIA...AND IT WILL PROBABLY LAST INTO THE EARLY PART OF NEXT
WEEK.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
CONFIDENCE CONTINUES TO INCREASE WITH REGARDS TO A MODERATE TIDAL
FLOODING EPISODE EARLY TONIGHT ON THE COAST AND INTO THE LOWER
DELAWARE BAY. THIS WILL BE PRECEDED BY A MINOR TIDAL FLOODING EVENT
TODAY. AT THIS TIME, I WILL JUST GO AHEAD AND ISSUE A COASTAL
FLOODING WARNING TO COVER BOTH EVENTS IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE LEAD
TIME. THE ADVISORY FOR THE UPPER BAY AND DELAWARE RIVER WILL
CONTINUE AS IS WITH THE POSSIBILITY FOR SOME MINOR TIDAL FLOODING AT
THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE. BEYOND TONIGHT, MORE MINOR TIDAL FLOODING
COULD OCCUR AGAIN THU AND THU NIGHT FOR THE SHORE...DEPENDING ON HOW
QUICKLY WINDS DECREASE BEHIND THE DEPARTING LOW. PRESENTLY, NO TIDAL
FLOODING IS INDICATED IN THE CHESAPEAKE BAY, BUT WE WILL CONTINUE TO
MONITOR THE LEVELS THERE TOO.
