Area forecast discussion, Jul 19, 3:48 AM EDT, 3 hours 58 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
348 AM EDT MON JUL 19 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA TODAY AND STALL OVER THE
DELMARVA LATE TONIGHT OR TUESDAY. A BOUNDARY WILL LINGER OVER THE
AREA THROUGH THE REST OF THE WORK WEEK, KEEPING OUR WEATHER
UNSETTLED AT TIMES.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
THE LATEST COLD FRONT THAT WILL OFFER MINIMAL RELIEF FROM THE
ONGOING HEAT WAS MOVING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES REGION EARLY THIS
MORNING. IT IS PROGGED TO ENTER NORTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA BY THE
END OF THE PERIOD, AND IT WILL BE PRECEDED BY A PRE-FRONTAL
TROUGH. THERE IS SOMETHING OF AN UPPER JET AND A MID LEVEL IMPULSE
ROTATING AROUND THE EASTERN CANADIAN VORTEX THAT ACCOMPANY THE
TROUGH. THERE IS FAIR SHEAR IN THE LOWEST 6 KM /FORECAST TO BE
BETTER NORTHWEST THAN SOUTHEAST/, MODERATE INSTABILITY /FORECAST
TO BE BETTER SOUTHEAST THAN NORTHWEST/, AND A RATHER MOIST
ATMOSPHERE THAT SHOULD SUPPORT AT LEAST SOME STRONG, WET
THUNDERSTORMS. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS ALL BUT THE
SOUTHERN QUARTER OF THE FORECAST AREA UNDER A SLIGHT RISK OF
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY. WE HAVE ADDED SOME ENHANCED WORDING
AND RAISED THE POPS INTO THE LIKELY TO HIGH CHANCE RANGE. WE ALSO
CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THIS IN THE HWO.

WITH SOME MID AND A FAIR AMOUNT OF HIGH CLOUDINESS IN ADVANCE OF
THE ACTIVITY AND WITH THE MOIST ATMOSPHERE, WE HAVE SIDED WITH THE
MARGINALLY COOLER STAT GUIDANCE TODAY. THIS STILL HAS TEMPERATURES
OVER MOST OF THE AREA REACHING 90 DEGREES, AND WITH THE HUMIDITY
THE HEAT INDICES ARE EXPECTED TO CLIMB INTO THE MID 90S OVER THE
LOWER DELAWARE VALLEY. IT WILL AGAIN BE UNCOMFORTABLE, BUT NOT
SUFFICIENTLY SO TO ISSUE ANY HEAT ADVISORY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH TONIGHT AND STALLS SOMEWHERE NEAR OUR
FAR SOUTHERN ZONES. WITH THE ONGOING ZONAL MID LEVEL FLOW, WE
EXPECT AT LEAST ONE OTHER WEAKENING FRONT TO MAKE A RUN AT US AND
AT LEAST ONE OTHER IMPULSE TO MOVE ALONG THE GENERAL BAROCLINIC
ZONE SET UP BETWEEN THE EXPANSIVE MID LEVEL RIDGE TO THE SOUTH AND
THE CANADIAN VORTEX TO THE NORTH DURING THIS TIME FRAME. RIGHT
NOW, WE ARE CENTERING THIS AROUND TUESDAY NIGHT. SO, AFTER SOME
LINGERING EARLY POPS TONIGHT, WE DROP POPS LATE TONIGHT AND
REINTRODUCE THEM BEGINNING TUESDAY AFTERNOON. WE CARRY FAIRLY HIGH
CHANCE POPS TUESDAY NIGHT AND MAINTAIN THE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ON
WEDNESDAY. MAINLY, THIS MAINTAINS CONTINUITY.

DAYTIME MAXES ON TUESDAY ON WEDNESDAY SHOW A MODEST OVERALL TREND
DOWNWARD, AS DO DEW POINTS. WE HAVE LEANED TOWARD THE WARMER
NIGHTTIME MINS IN THIS SOUPY REGIME.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE SUMMER PATTERN WITH HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL CONTINUE INTO THE
EXTENDED PERIOD. THE UPPER AIR PATTERN WILL FEATURE HIGH PRESSURE
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN STATES WHICH WILL PERSIST INTO THE EARLY PART OF
THE WEEKEND BEFORE WEAKENING. THE STORM TRACK WILL BE ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PLAINS STATES EASTWARD INTO NEW ENGLAND. THIS WILL GUIDE
WEAK SHORT WAVES ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE PERIOD. ONE STRONGER
WAVE WILL DEVELOP DURING THE WEEKEND AND PASS ACROSS SRN CANADA.
THESE FEATURES...COMBINED WITH THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL PRODUCE
PERIODS OF SHOWERS/TSTMS DURING THE LATE WEEK AND EARLY WEEKEND
PERIOD.

TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE
UPPER 80 TO LOW 90S ACROSS MOST AREAS. FRIDAY MAY BE THE HOTTEST DAY
DURING THE STRETCH WITH LOW 90S ACROSS THE NORTHERN AREAS AND MID
90S IN THE URBANIZED AREAS. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL MAINLY BE IN THE
70S. THE UPPER PATTERN WILL CHANGE DURING THE WEEKEND WITH A TROUGH
DEVELOPING ACROSS THE EAST...SO COOLER CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY ARRIVE
BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A WEAK VORTICITY TROUGH MOVED THROUGH SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF OUR AREA
EARLY IN THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD AND SOME DYING SHOWERS BRIEFLY
THREATENED KILG AND KMIV BEFORE DISSIPATING. OTHERWISE SOME PATCHY
HIGH CLOUDINESS WILL WORK THROUGH THE AREA EARLY THIS MORNING...
ALONG WITH PATCHY FOG AND HAZE AT THE MORE RURAL TAF SITES...IN
ANTICIPATION OF A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. THE
AIR MASS WILL REMAIN QUITE UNSTABLE...SO AT LEAST SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE FORMING INTO WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA BY
MID TO LATE MORNING...WITH SCATTERED TO BROKEN ACTIVITY OVER THE
TAF SITES THIS AFTERNOON. SOME WIND GUSTS COULD BE QUITE STRONG OR
EVEN REACH SEVERE LEVELS...GIVEN THE DECENT CAPES AND HIGH
INSTABILITY AS SHOWN BY LIFTED INDICES NEAR MINUS 6 ON THE NAM
FOUS BY 00Z. SPC CONTINUES TO PAINT OUR TAF SITES IN AN AREA OF
SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR TODAY. LOCALIZED IFR
CONDITIONS IN CONVECTION SHOULD BE EXPECTED FROM LATE MORNING OR
MIDDAY BUT ESPECIALLY THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THIS EVENING UNTIL
THE FRONT AND MODEST UPPER TROUGH MOVE EAST OF THE AREA.

DECREASING THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE AND IMPROVING CONDITIONS IN THE
POST-FRONTAL ENVIRONMENT WILL OCCUR DURING THIS EVENING...BUT SOME
VISIBILITIES MAY DROP TO MARGINAL VFR LEVELS OVERNIGHT IN FOG AND
HAZE.

OUTLOOK...
VERY GOOD AFTERNOON AND EVENING INSTABILITY WILL BE IN PLACE MUCH OF
THE REST OF THIS WEEK AS THE FRONT WILL REMAIN NEAR OUR AREA AND MAY
PROVIDE SOME FORCING FOR MAINLY DIURNAL CONVECTION...UNTIL A FINAL
LOW MOVES THROUGH SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...
AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT TODAY WILL CAUSE AN INCREASE IN THE
SOUTHWEST SYNOPTIC FLOW OVER THE AREA WATERS. WAVEWATCH HAS BACKED
OFF A BIT ON THE RESULTANT WAVES FOR TODAY HOWEVER...SO WE WILL
CONTINUE TO FORECAST SUB-SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS TODAY AND
CONTINUE TO CAP SEAS AT 4 FEET. IF WAVES REACH 5 FEET FOR A TIME
LATE TODAY OR THIS EVENING...THE DAY SHIFT MAY BE ABLE TO BETTER
RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THE APPROACHING FRONT IS EXPECTED TO SPARK
SCATTERED TO BROKEN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND
INTO TONIGHT.

OTHERWISE THE COLD FRONT WILL STALL JUST TO OUR SOUTH BY TUESDAY AND
THEN OSCILLATE OVER OR NEAR OUR MARINE AREA THIS WEEK. THIS FRONT
WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM TIME TO TIME...
HOWEVER MOST OF THE TIME CONDITIONS WILL BE RAIN-FREE ON OUR WATERS.
THE BEST CHANCE FOR SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS WILL BE LATE IN
THE WEEK AS A STRONGER FRONT APPROACHES...PERHAPS PASSING THROUGH
LATE SATURDAY OR SATURDAY NIGHT.

THE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS TODAY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW.
