AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
346 AM EDT SUN MAR 21 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION FOR ONE MORE DAY AND DRY
WEATHER AND VERY WARM TEMPERATURES ARE IN STORE AGAIN. THE HIGH
WILL MOVE TO THE EAST TONIGHT. AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING
OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL APPROACH THE REGION TONIGHT
AND MOVE ACROSS THE AREA ON MONDAY, BRINGING RAIN. THE LOW WILL
MOVE AWAY ON TUESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD BACK IN FOR
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. A COLD FRONT AND SURFACE LOW WILL BRING
ANOTHER CHANCE OF RAIN TO THE AREA BY FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
ANOTHER GENLY NICE DAY IS IN STORE FOR THE REGION, AS HIGH
PRESSURE MAINTAINS ITS GRIP FOR ONE MORE DAY. THERE WILL BE MORE
IN THE WAY OF CLOUDS AND AS A RESULT TEMPS WILL BE A BIT COOLER,
BUT STILL WAY ABV NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. MOS GUID LOOKS
REASONABLE AND WAS GENLY FOLLOWED. HIGH TEMPS WILL BE IN THE 60S
IN MANY AREAS, WITH SOME LOCATIONS TOUCHING OR EXCEEDING 70 DEGREES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
TONIGHT LOOKS TO BE MAINLY QUIET WX WISE, IN ADVANCE OF THE NEXT
STORM WHICH WILL BE TAKING SHAPE ACRS THE LWR MS VLY. THIS LOW
WILL REACH THE OH VLY THIS EVENING AND THEN MOVE TWD THE MID-ATLC
ON MONDAY. ATTM, IT LOOKS AS IF MOST, IF NOT ALL, OF THE RAIN WILL
HOLD OFF UNTIL AFTER DAYBREAK ON MONDAY. THE PRECIP SHOULD BEGIN
DURING THE MORNING HOURS ON MONDAY AND AND BECOME STEADIER AND
HEAVIER DURING THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS AS A DECENT S/WV IS
PROGGED TO MOVE THROUGH. THERE IS SOME DECENT OMEGA, AND A WMFNT
NEARBY, BUT THE LLJ IS ONLY AROUND 40 OR SO KTS. OF COURSE, WITH
THE UPR LOW APPROACHING OVERNIGHT, THERE WILL BE ABUNDANT COLD,
UNSTABLE AIR ALOFT. SO, WILL KEEP THE MENTION OF THUNDER IN THE
FCST, MAINLY OVER SRN AREAS, WHICH PUTS US IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT
WITH THE SPC OUTLOOK.

AT THIS TIME, IT LOOKS LIKE THE HEAVIEST RAIN AND HIGHEST QPF
WOULD BE IN NRN PORTIONS OF THE REGION. LATEST QPF GENLY HAS
BETWEEN 1/4 AND 1/2 INCH ACRS MUCH OF THE DELMARVA AND SRN NJ. 1/2
TO 1 INCH ACRS THE I-95 CORRIDOR AND 1 TO 1.5 INCHES ACRS NRN NJ
AND NERN PA. THE MDLS HAVE TRENDED A BIT DOWNWARD THIS RUN, BUT IT
MAY NOT MATTER, ESPECIALLY ACRS NRN NJ WHERE RIVERS AND STREAMS
ARE STILL RUNNING HIGH FROM LAST WEEK'S STORM. SINCE THE HEAVIEST
RAIN LOOKS TO OCCUR MONDAY NIGHT, WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY WATCHES.
HOWEVER, IF THE CURRENT NUMBERS STILL HOLD ACRS NORTHERN AREAS, A
FLOOD WATCH WOULD BECOME NECESSARY FOR A PORTION OF THE REGION.

THE MDLS ARE NOW LESS ROBUST FOR TUESDAY, WITH VIRTUALLY ALL OF
THE GUID NOW ENDING THE PRECIP AND IMPROVING THINGS AFTER THE
MORNING HOURS. THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS THE ECMWF, WHICH CONTINUES TO
KEEP THINGS ONGOING INTO LATER TUESDAY OR TUESDAY NIGHT. IF THE
ECMWF WERE CORRECT, POPS WOULD HAVE TO BE RAISED ON
TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT.  TUESDAY STILL LOOKS RELATIVELY CLOUDY
THOUGH, BUT OF COURSE WITH THE SPRING SUN, IF THERE ARE SOME
BREAKS, THAT WILL HAVE A POSITIVE EFFECT ON TEMPS. FOR NOW WILL GO
WITH THE MOS GUID.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THERE COULD BE SOME SHOWERS BEHIND THE LOW ON TUESDAY NIGHT, BUT
THEN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FOR WED AND THU, BRING DRY AND WARM
(ALBEIT NOT AS WARM AS IT HAS BEEN) WX. BY THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY, A LOW MOVES ACRS SERN CANADA AND A CDFNT EXTENDING SWD
FROM IT WILL APPROACH THE REGION. THIS FRONT, COUPLED WITH A LOW
ACRS THE LOWER MS VLY WILL BRING ANOTHER CHC OF RAIN FRIDAY.
CURRENT GUIDANCE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE ECMWF,  INDICATES THE
BEST CHCS MAY BE OVER SRN AREAS. THE EC BRINGS THE SLUG OF PRECIP
FURTHER N. HOWEVER, WE HAVE SEVERAL DAYS TO SEE HOW THE MDLS TREND
WITH THIS SYS, BUT WILL LEAVE CHC POPS FOR NOW.  HIGH PRES THEN
BUILDS IN FOR SAT.

&&

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

VFR CONDITIONS STILL IN PLACE AND WILL REMAIN SO THROUGHOUT THE
REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND, EXCEPT THAT SOME LIGHT FOG OR HAZE COULD
FORM AROUND MIV THIS MORNING. THE VSBY RESTRICTION WILL ONLY BE A
TEMPORARY ISSUE AND SHOULD MIX OUT BY LATE MORNING.

LATE IN THE EVENING ON SUNDAY WE START TO SEE INCREASING CLOUDS WITH
LOWERING DECKS...MAINLY BROKEN BECOMING OVERCAST ALTHOUGH STILL VFR
CIGS. THERE MAY BE A BRIEF PERIOD IN THE MORNING ON MONDAY WITH SOME
MINOR VSBY RESTRICTIONS ACROSS ALL THE TAF SITES AS A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM NEARS THE REGION FROM THE WEST. VSBY RESTRICTIONS SHOULD LIFT
BY LATE MORNING, BUT WITH THE LOW PRESSURE AND ITS ASSOCIATED COLD
FRONT SWINGING THROUGH THE SKIES WILL THICKEN AND LOWER
SUBSTANTIALLY TO MVFR CONDITIONS. RAIN WITH POSSIBLY EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE PERSISTENT THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

OUTLOOK...
CIGS WILL REMAIN DOWN MONDAY THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY ON TUESDAY
BEFORE THE STRONG COLD FRONT MAKES ITS WAY COMPLETELY THROUGH THE
AREA. THE SHOWERS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY BEFORE THE
LOW PRESSURE MAKES ITS WAY FAR ENOUGH TO THE EAST OF THE REGION.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD IN FROM THE WEST FOR THE MIDDLE AND
LATTER PARTS OF THE WEEK, BRINGING A RETURN TO FAIR WEATHER AND VFR
FLYING CONDITIONS.

&&

.MARINE...
QUIET CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND
BEFORE THE HIGH PRESSURE, THAT PROVIDED THE TRANQUIL WEATHER, PULLS
FURTHER TO THE EAST. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WITH AN ASSOCIATED COLD
FRONT NEARS LATER ON MONDAY PROVIDING OUR WATERS WITH ANOTHER ROUND
OF RAIN WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS. WITH THE LOW
APPROACHING AND THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENING THE WINDS AND WAVES
WILL BE ON THE INCREASE FROM SOUTH TO NORTH. STILL BEING A FEW
PERIODS AWAY FROM THE ONSET OF SCA CRITERIA, THE FLAGS HAVE ONLY
BEEN RAISED ON THE SOUTHERN WATERS AND THE ENTIRE BAY, ALTHOUGH THEY
WILL MORE THAN LIKELY BE EXTENDED FURTHER NORTH AT A LATER TIME.

THERE MAY BE A LULL IN THE ACTION, WITH THE WINDS THAT IS, ON
TUESDAY WITH THE LOW PRESSURE DIRECTLY OVERHEAD. ONCE THE LOW PASSES
TO THE EAST, WINDS WILL AGAIN PICK UP OUT OF THE WEST NORTHWEST WITH
GUSTS POSSIBLY EXCEEDING SCA CONDITIONS STILL AS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT TIGHTENS AGAIN WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN BEHIND THE
DEPARTING LOW. SEAS SHOULD START TO RELAX FROM SOUTH TO NORTH LATER
IN THE WEEK WHEN THE HIGH COMPLETELY SETTLES OVER OUR WATERS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
MANY THANKS TO THE HAS FORECASTER AT MARFC FOR RUNNING A CONTINGENCY
WHAT IF SCENARIO FOR US. WE RAN A BASINWIDE AVERAGE OF 1.75 INCHES
OF RAIN IN 18 HOURS IN HOPES OF LEANING TOWARD A WORSE CASE SCENARIO
FOR THIS UPCOMING EVENT. WITH THAT RAINFALL MOST GAGED STREAMS WILL
COME CLOSE TO FLOOD STAGE. THE ASSUNPINK, NESHAMINY, PASSAIC WOULD
REACH MINOR FLOODING AND THE MILLSTONE AT BLACKWELLS MILLS WOULD
REACH MODERATE FLOODING. HEADWATER GUIDANCE FOR NORTHERN NEW JERSEY
STARTS SHOWING PROBLEMS WITH FLOODING ONCE 12 HR RAINFALL EXCEEDS AN
INCH WHILE THE REST OF OUR CWA ITS GENERALLY MORE THAN AN INCH AND A
HALF. RIGHT NOW NO PROBLEMS ARE EXPECTED ON THE DELAWARE.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR MODEL TRENDS AND WILL CONTINUE TO WORD
POSSIBLE FLOODING IN THE HWO. THE LATEST MDLS HAVE TRENDED
SLIGHTLY DOWNWARD WITH THEIR QPFS, BUT IT MAY NOT BE ENOUGH. THE
MOST PROBLEMATIC AREA STILL LOOKS TO BE NORTHERN NJ.
