AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
228 AM EST SAT JAN 16 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE FORECAST AREA WILL DRIFT OFFSHORE
TODAY. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO WILL
MOVE NORTHEAST INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY TONIGHT. A SECONDARY LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO FORM OVER VIRGINIA ON SUNDAY AND MOVE
NORTHEAST THROUGH NEW JERSEY SUNDAY NIGHT AND PASS SOUTHEAST OF CAPE
COD ON MONDAY. A HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM SHOULD BUILD INTO THE REGION
FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. THEN ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM FROM
THE ROCKIES SHOULD MOVE EAST AND PASS OFF THE EASTERN SEABOARD ABOUT
FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
THE WRF-NMM INITIALIZED BETTER THAN THE GFS THIS MORNING. THE GFS'S
CLOSED LOW IN TEXAS WAS TOO WEAK AND MAY BE WHY ITS ABOUT 6 TO 12
HOURS FASTER THAN ANY OTHER MODEL WITH THE WEEKEND SYSTEM. THE
WRF-NMM NEAR THE END OF THE EVENT STARTS DRAGGING AS ITS CLOSED LOW
CAPTURES THE SURFACE LOW. ONLY 2 OF ITS 21 SREF MEMBERS CAPTURED THE
SURFACE LOW AS QUICKLY. SO FOR THIS FORECAST PACKAGE WHILE THE GFS
WAS NOT USED, A SPED ALONG BY ABOUT 6 HOURS WRF-NMM, CLOSE TO THE
UKMET SOLUTION, WAS FOLLOWED.

BIGGEST PROBLEM FOR TODAY IS WHAT TO DO WITH THE SC DECK TRAPPED
UNDERNEATH THE SUBSIDENCE INVERSION. THE WRF-NMM HAS REMAINED TOO
BULLISH WITH IT. AS PER THE 18Z RUN WE SHOULD BE HAVING IFR CIGS
RIGHT ABOUT NOW. THE 00Z RUN HAS BACKED AWAY FROM THOSE HEIGHTS AND
ALSO IS FCSTG SOME DRYING. WE WILL BE SEEING SOME CIRRUS FROM THE
GULF COAST SYSTEM, BUT OVERALL SHOULD AVERAGE A PARTLY SUNNY DAY.
THE WRF-NMM HAS HAD A FAIRLY LARGE COLD BIAS THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS
WITH MAX TEMPS. BASED ON FCST 1000-850MB THICKNESSES AND 850MB
TEMPS, GFS MOS STILL LOOKS BETTER WITH ANOTHER DAY OF ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE GFS IS THE ONLY MODEL TO BRING MEASURABLE PCPN INTO OUR CWA
TONIGHT. ITS ALREADY TOO FAST AS THERE IS NO MEASURABLE PCPN BEYOND
ITS .10 ISOHYET IN ALABAMA, OKLAHOMA AND ARKANSAS AS OF 06Z. CURRENT
PLANS ARE TO JUST LEAVE THE SLGT CHC IN OUR DELMARVA ZONES LATE. MIN
TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE TOUGH TO GET RIGHT AS THEY MIGHT OCCUR
IN THE EVENING BEFORE THICKER CLOUDS ARRIVE. WE FOLLOWED THE HOURLY
MAV AND MET GUIDANCE TO TRY TO CAPTURE THIS VS THE STANDARD DROP OF
TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE NIGHT. OVERALL THIS STILL PRODUCED MIN
TEMPS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN THE POSTED VALUES.

WE ISSUED A WINTER STORM WATCH STARTING SUNDAY AFTERNOON MAINLY FOR
THE POCONO PLATEAU OF CARBON AND MONROE COUNTIES AS THEY ARE
EXPECTED TO REMAIN WITHIN A DEGREE OR SO OF 32F THROUGHOUT THIS
EVENT. THIS IS FOR A COMBINATION OF SLEET AND MAINLY FREEZING RAIN.
ELSEWHERE IN OUR CWA ITS JUST A QUESTION OF WHICH ARRIVES FIRST THE
PRECIPITATION OR THE ABOVE FREEZING TEMPERATURES SUNDAY MORNING. THE
MORE THE OPERATIONAL WRF-NMM TIMING IS BETTER THE LESS THE FREEZING
RAIN THERE WILL BE. THERE IS A STILL A TENDENCY FOR THESE WARM AIR
ADVECTION EVENTS TO OCCUR FASTER THAN PROGGED, SO FOR THE LEADING
EDGE WE WENT BETWEEN THE GFS AND WRF-NMM TIMING. THIS WOULD BRING A
CHANCE FOR FREEZING RAIN SUNDAY MORNING NW OF THE INTERSTATE 95
CORRIDOR. MOST PLACES SHOULD CHANGE TO RAIN QUICKLY, BUT POCKETS OF
FREEZING RAIN MIGHT LINGER INTO THE AFTERNOON IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY
AND POSSIBLY INTO THE EVENING IN SUSSEX COUNTY NJ. THERE MAY BE SOME
SLEET MIXED IN AT THE ONSET IF THE DRY LEVEL AT 925MB CAN MAINTAIN
ITSELF, BUT THE MAIN PTYPE CONCERN IS THE FREEZING RAIN.

WE ISSUED THE WATCH FOR THE POCONOS BECAUSE OF THE FORMATION OF THE
SECONDARY LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. THIS SHIFTS THE 925 MB WINDS FROM
SOUTHEAST TO EAST BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND THEN NORTHEAST SUNDAY
EVENING. WE HAVE SEEN SEVERAL EVENTS WHERE THIS SHIFT IN WIND
DIRECTION IS ENOUGH TO KEEP THE PLATEAU AT 32F. THE MODELS ARE
EDGING EVER SO SLIGHTLY UPWARD WITH THEIR FCST SURFACE TEMPERATURES
AND IF THIS TREND DOES CONTINUE IT WOULD DROP THE ICE ACCRETION
VALUES FROM WARNING TO ADVISORY LEVELS. SINCE CONFIDENCE ABOUT
REACHING THE 1/2" ICE CRITERIA IS AT THE LOW END OF THE WATCH
THRESHOLD DO NOT WANT TO HIT THE ICE TOO HARD AT THIS POINT IN THE
INITIAL STATEMENT. THE GFS FORECAST 850MB TEMPS ARE COLD ENOUGH TO
THINK ABOUT SNOW NRN CWA SUNDAY EVENING. BUT ALL OTHER MODELS HAVE
HIGHER FCST 850MB TEMPS AND THUS WE CONTINUED TO MENTION SNOW JUST
AT THE END OF THE EVENT.

EVENT PRECIPITATION TOTALS ARE EXPECTED TO AVERAGE THREE QUARTERS
TO AN INCH AND A HALF ACROSS OUR CWA. THERE IS ROBUST MID LEVEL
FRONTOGENETIC AND Q-VEC CONVERGENCE FORECAST WITH THE TROWAL PASSING
THROUGH NJ AND DE ALSO. GULF COAST LOWS HAVE NOT UNDERPERFORMED AND
BELIEVE THIS WILL BE THE CASE THIS TIME. THE MODELS COME CLOSE
TO FORECASTING UPRIGHT CONVECTION WHICH WE WILL LEAVE OUT FOR NOW.

IN ALL PARTS OF OUR CWA THE SIGNIFICANT PART OF THIS EVENT SHOULD BE
WINDING DOWN AFTER MIDNIGHT EARLY MONDAY MORNING WITH GENERAL
IMPROVING CONDITIONS EXPECTED AS THE DAY CONTINUES. MONDAY DAY IS
ONE TIME WHERE STAT GUIDANCE IS IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT, SEEMED
LOGICAL AND WAS FOLLOWED.

THE PROBABILITIES GIVEN BELOW ARE BASED ON A COMBINATION OF
STATISTICAL THEORY, OUR SNOWFALL FORECASTS OVER THE PAST SEVERAL
WINTERS, AND THE MOST LIKELY SNOWFALL TOTALS FOR THIS POTENTIAL
STORM.  THE PERIOD OF EXPECTED WINTRY PRECIPITATION IS FOR SUNDAY
AFTERNOON AND SUNDAY NIGHT.

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE 00Z GFS MODEL RUN WAS A COMPLETE 180 FROM THE 12Z DAY RUN. GIVEN
THAT THE 00Z ECMWF MAINTAINED CONTINUITY, WE DID NOT CHANGE THE LONG
TERM AND MOST OF THE DISCUSSION BELOW STILL HOLDS.

A MORE ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN WITH GENERALLY WARMER THAN NORMAL
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE IN THE LONG TERM. THE
FORECAST TELECONNECTION INDICES ARE SHOWING A POSITIVE NAO PATTERN
FORECAST TO EMERGE IN THE ATLANTIC AND A POSITIVE EPO PATTERN TO
CONTINUE IN THE PACIFIC. BOTH ARE GENERALLY MILDER WEATHER
PATTERNS FOR US AND WE HAVE LEANED TOWARD THE MODEL SOLUTIONS (CAN
GGEM AND ECMWF) WHICH CORROBORATE THE CURRENT ATMOSPHERIC TENDENCY
VS THE GFS WHICH REMAINS THE COLD SUPPRESSED OUTLIER. THE GFS HAS
HAD DIFFICULTY OF LATE IN THE LONG TERM PERIOD, IT WAS TOO
SUPPRESSED UNTIL TWO DAYS AGO WITH THE SYSTEM NOW IN THE WESTERN
GULF.

THE LONG TERM WILL START DRY MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT AS
THE WEEKEND SYSTEM MOVES FARTHER OFFSHORE. ON WEDNESDAY, SOME WAA
INDUCED PRECIPITATION SHOULD WORK ITS WAY INTO THE GREAT LAKES AND
SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY AND IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN NORTH OF OUR CWA. BY
WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH THE GULF OPEN, SOME MOISTURE/PRECIPITATION
SHOULD REACH OUR CWA. WE COMPROMISED TWO-THIRDS TOWARD THE ECMWF VS
THE GFS FOR PTYPE AS THE FORMER IS FORECASTING FZRA OR RAIN AND THE
LATTER WOULD OPEN THE DOOR FOR SOME SNOW FAR NORTH.

THEN THE MODEL TIMING AND LOCATION DIFFERENCES EXPAND AS TO WHERE
AND WHEN THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE WILL EMERGE FROM THE ROCKIES AND ITS
EVENTUAL TRACK. OUR CURRENT FORECAST PACKAGE IS TAKING A COMPROMISE
BETWEEN THE ECMWF AND GFS TIMING, BUT WITH THERMAL FIELDS AND TRACK
CLOSER TO THE ECMWF. THUS THU NGT WILL HAVE THE THE HIGHEST POPS AND
WILL EMPHASIZE THE OTHER FROZEN PTYPES (SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN) NW
CWA WHERE SOME COLD AIR MIGHT REMAIN TRAPPED. AS THE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM OR THE ECMWF'S SECONDARY LOW ON THE FRONT MOVES OFFSHORE ITS
POSSIBLE TOWARD THE END OF THE EVENT THAT THE PRECIPITATION COULD
THEN TURN TO SNOW BEFORE IT ENDS AS COLDER AIR MOVES IN FROM
CANADA.

BECAUSE OF THE PREFERRED NON-GFS TRACK, WE WENT AOA GFS MEX MOS
GUIDANCE THROUGHOUT THE LONG TERM. THIS IS MORE APPARENT WITH THE
MINS AND WITH OVERALL TEMPS FOR FRIDAY.

&&

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

AT 07Z THE STRATOCUMULUS TRAPPED UNDER THE LOW LEVEL INVERSION
CONTINUED TO COALESCE OVER THE LOWER DELAWARE VALLEY AND EASTWARD
OVER CENTRAL NEW JERSEY, AND THEN TO POINTS NORTH AND WEST. THESE
CLOUDS ARE FORECAST BY MOS GUIDANCE TO DIMINISH DURING THIS MORNING,
PROBABLY BEFORE SUNRISE IN THE PHILADELPHIA METROPOLITAN AREA. WHERE
CLOUDS WERE LESS OR ABSENT FOR KMIV AND KACY, RADIATION MAY CAUSE
SOME LIGHT FOG THROUGH SUNRISE.

THEN, JUST SCATTERED CUMULUS FOR TODAY IS EXPECTED, WITH SCATTERED
TO BROKEN (BUT OFTEN THIN) HIGH CLOUDS. A WESTERLY FLOW OF 10 KNOTS
OR LESS IS EXPECTED TODAY.

.OUTLOOK...
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED FOR TONIGHT. BUT, A STORM FORECAST
TO ORGANIZE IN THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO TODAY WILL TRACK
NORTHEASTWARD AND BRING LOWERING CLOUDS AND VISIBILITIES ALONG WITH
PRECIPITATION TO OUR AREA DURING SUNDAY AND INTO MONDAY. MOST OF THE
PRECIPITATION WILL BE RAIN, BUT FOR KABE THERE COULD BE SOME SLEET
OR FREEZING RAIN AT THE ONSET AFTER SUNRISE SUNDAY MORNING. RAIN AT
THE PHILADELPHIA METROPOLITAN TAF SITES IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN AROUND
OR SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE. SO, SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL TAF SITES ARE
LIKELY TO SEE DETERIORATING CEILINGS (PROBABLY MARGINAL VFR) IN THE
10Z TO 12Z SUNDAY TIME FRAME.

&&

.MARINE...
WEATHER ON THE WATERS WILL BE ACCEPTABLE TODAY AND TONIGHT. BUT,
A DEVELOPING NOR/EASTER WILL BRING INCREASED WINDS AND WAVES DURING
SUNDAY, WITH CONDITIONS MOSTLY CONTINUING SUNDAY NIGHT, AND THEN
AGAIN MONDAY ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE STORM. AT THIS TIME, WIND GUSTS
LOOK TO REMAIN IN THE ADVISORY CATEGORY ON THE OCEAN AND LOWER
DELAWARE BAY. UPPER DELAWARE BAY MAY SKATE BY AT JUST UNDER ADVISORY
CRITERIA FOR WINDS SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT, BUT INCREASED WINDS
ON THE BACK SIDE MONDAY COULD PUT THEM OVER 25 KNOTS. SO, A SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY WILL BE INITIATED FOR THE SOUTHERN OCEAN WATERS AND
LOWER DELAWARE BAY STARTING AT 17Z SUNDAY, AND OVER THE NORTHERN
WATERS STARTING AT 21Z. THE ADVISORY WILL RUN THROUGH MONDAY.

CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BEGIN TO IMPROVE MONDAY NIGHT INTO
TUESDAY, ALTHOUGH THE SEAS LIKELY WON'T SUBSIDE BELOW 5 FEET ON THE
OCEAN UNTIL TUESDAY.

&&

TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
A COMBINATION OF THE QUICK MOVEMENT AND TRACK OF THE NOR/EASTER,
ITS EXPECTED MAIN EFFECTS AT THE TIMES OF LOW TIDE SUNDAY EVENING,
AS WELL AS THE ASTRONOMICAL HIGH TIDES MOVING AWAY FROM THE NEW
MOON, ALL COMBINE TO MAKE EVEN MINOR TIDAL FLOODING UNLIKELY AT THIS
TIME.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
REPEATED FROM ABOVE EVENT PRECIPITATION TOTALS ARE EXPECTED TO
AVERAGE THREE QUARTERS TO AN INCH AND A HALF ACROSS OUR CWA. THERE
IS ROBUST MID LEVEL FRONTOGENETIC AND Q-VEC CONVERGENCE FORECAST FOR
OUR CWA WITH THE TROWAL PASSING THROUGH ALSO. GULF COAST LOWS HAVE
NOT UNDERPERFORMED AND BELIEVE THIS WILL BE THE CASE THIS TIME ALSO.
THE MODELS COME CLOSE TO FORECASTING UPRIGHT CONVECTION WHICH WE
WILL LEAVE OUT FOR NOW.

LATEST HEADWATER GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT THE REGION COULD HOLD UP TO
1.75 INCHES OF RAIN. ANYTHING OVER THAT COULD CAUSE SOME ISSUES. THE
COLD NIGHTS HAVE KEPT MOST SURFACES PRETTY SOLID, SO RUNOFF IS GOING
TO BE FAIRLY EFFICIENT.
