Special Weather Statement, NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
207 AM EDT FRI OCT 1 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE CAROLINA AREA THIS EVENING
WILL MOVE NORTHWARD ALONG THE COAST OVERNIGHT AND FRIDAY MORNING. IT
IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE HEAVY RAINFALL AND GUSTY WINDS TO MUCH OF THE
REGION. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BEHIND THE DEPARTING LOW FRIDAY
NIGHT AND REMAIN FOR THE WEEKEND. ANOTHER WEAK LOW MAY BRING MORE
SHOWERS TO THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
THE WET AND WINDY EVENT CONTINUES ACROSS THE REGION WITH THE
FIRST LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WEAKENING TO THE WEST AND A DEFORMATION
ZONE LEFT IN ITS WAKE. THE MODELS SHOW THE NEXT STRONG LOW WILL
RIDE NORTHWARD ALONG THE COAST TONIGHT AND BRING MORE HEAVY RAINS
AND WIND TO THE AREA TONIGHT AND EARLY FRIDAY. THE 00Z ECMWF MODEL
WAS THE PREFERRED CHOICE OF HPC TODAY AND THE GRIDS HAVE BEEN
PREPARED WITH THIS IN MIND.

WINDS WILL INCREASE OVER THE AREA LATE THIS EVENING MAINLY OVER
EASTERN AREA...AND THEY WILL PERSIST OVERNIGHT UNTIL THE LOW MOVES
BY. THE WIND ADVISORY AREA WAS TRIMMED A BIT TO REFLECT THE 925
HPA WINDS...WHICH SHOWED ANY STRONGER WINDS CLOSER TO THE COAST.
THE TIMING UNTIL 6 AM WAS LEFT INTACT.

RAINFALL FROM THE FIRST LOW WAS HEAVY ACROSS ERN PA AND ERN MD WITH
LIGHTER TOTALS ACROSS NJ AND DE. WIDESPREAD TOTALS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES
FELL ACROSS ERN PA AND MD. THE ADDITIONAL RAIN ARRIVING ACROSS THE
AREA PRESENTLY WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AND KEEP THE THREAT FOR
FLOODING ACROSS THE AREA...SO THE FLOOD WATCH WILL CONTINUE WITH ITS
ORIGINAL EXPIRATION TIME OF FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THE ADDITIONAL RAIN
WILL LIKELY BE ENOUGH TO CAUSE WIDESPREAD SMALL STREAM FLOODING AND
EVENTUALLY MAIN-STEM RIVER FLOODING TOO. THE NWS AHPS PAGE IS A
GREAT PLACE TO FOLLOW THE HYDRO READINGS/FCSTS.

THE TORNADO WATCH THAT WAS IN EFFECT UNTIL 23Z TONIGHT HAS BEEN
CANCELLED. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW HEAVIER SHOWERS THAT SHOWED SIGNS
OF ROTATION, ALTHOUGH IT WAS VERY BOARD, THAT FELL APART WITHIN A
FEW VOLUME SCANS. THE STRONGEST LINE ACROSS THE REGION IS STILL
CURRENTLY WORKING ITS WAY UP INTO SOUTHERN DELAWARE AND THE EAST
SHORE OF MARYLAND. AS WE CONTINUE TO HEAD INTO THE EVENING HOURS,
THE TREND OF THESE SPINNING STORMS SHOULD BEGIN TO WANE AS WELL,
BUT WE ARE DEFINITELY KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON THE SCOPE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
QUIETER WEATHER AWAITS IN THE SHORT TERM. THE HYDROLOGIC IMPACTS OF
THE MOST RECENT STORM MAY EXTEND INTO THE SHORT TERM HOWEVER. THE
STRONG LOW WILL BE MOVING ACROSS THE COASTAL NEW ENGLAND AREA FRI
NIGHT WHILE HIGH PRESSURE DROPS IN FROM THE GREAT LAKES. DRIER AIR
WILL ARRIVE WITH LITTLE IF ANY RAIN EXPECTED FRIDAY NIGHT INTO THE
WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES WILL BE A LITTLE COOL FOR THE PERIOD WITH
HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S FOR THE MOST PART AND LOWS IN THE MID
40S TO LOW 50S. TEMPERATURES WILL BE A LITTLE COOLER OVER THE
SOUTHERN POCONOS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
WHILE THE MID RANGE MODELS ARE COMING INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE
OVERALL PATTERN FOR NEXT WEEK...THERE ARE SOME PLACEMENT DIFFERENCES
THAT MAKE ALL OF THE DIFFERENCE WITH REGARD TO SENSIBLE WEATHER.
BECAUSE OF THIS...THE PRECIPITATION FORECASTS FOR MONDAY NIGHT AND
BEYOND ARE BELOW NORMAL.

THE ECMWF AND THE 1200 UTC GFS ARE STILL HANDLING THE EVOLUTION OF
THE CLOSING SYSTEM ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY DIFFERENTLY...AS THE
ECMWF REMAINS SLOWER AND MORE CLOSED OFF...WHILE THE GFS IS BIT
MORE PROGRESSIVE EARLY NEXT WEEK. SINCE THE ECMWF HAS BEEN MORE
CONSISTENT WITH ITSELF FOR THE LAST FEW RUNS...THIS IS THE MODEL OF
CHOICE FOR THE BULK OF THE THE FORECAST THROUGH NEXT WEEK.

THIS SHOULD KEEP SURFACE DEVELOPMENT OFFSHORE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
TUESDAY NIGHT...WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE. THE AIR-MASS
WILL MODIFY WITH TIME...BUT THERE STILL SEEMS TO BE A SHOT AT SOME
FROST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN POCONOS AND NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY SUNDAY
NIGHT.

THE SURFACE HIGH MOVES EAST TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY...AS THE LOW
LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONE REMAINS JUST OFFSHORE...EAST OF THE CLOSED MID
LEVEL SYSTEM. OVERALL...TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN NEAR OR JUST
BELOW NORMAL INTO WEDNESDAY.

AS MENTIONED EARLIER...THE POSITION OF THE CLOSED MID LEVEL
SYSTEM WILL BE THE KEY TO THE PRECIPITATION FORECAST. RIGHT NOW...IT
WOULD APPEAR AS THOUGH THE BEST CHANCE OF RAIN WOULD BE WITH THE
SURFACE WAVE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY.

&&

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

CURRENT...TIGHTENING SFC LOW AT 04Z EXTENDING FROM VCNTY HATTERAS
TO MELFA VIRGINIA IN SRN CHES BAY AREA...WITH NEARLY 4MB 3 HR PRES
FALLS AND WINDS OF 30-50 KT IN THE OBSERVED DATA FROM HATTERAS TO
CHES LIGHT TO WALLOPS. THIS IS THE AREA TO WATCH FOR WIND AS THE
SFC LOW MOVES NNE THROUGH THE NIGHT.

THROUGH 12Z...
NEAR AND WEST OF THE SFC WIND SHIFT TO N AND NW MVFR VARIABLE IFR
IN HEAVY RAIN.

ACROSS S NJ... VFR OCNL MVFR CIGS SSE GUSTS TO 30 KTS. LLWS
THROUGH ABOUT 09Z AT KMIV AND KACY. OTRW LLWS IS DONE.

ISOLATED THUNDER MAY DEVELOP OVERNIGHT IN THE WARM SECTOR ACROSS
NJ AND EASTERN DEL AS INSTABILITY IS MODELED TO INCREASE WITH THE
APPROACHING FINAL SHORT WAVE.

FRIDAY AFTER 12Z...LEFTOVER MORNING IFR AND MVFR CONDS IN DEPARTING
RAIN BAND WILL BECOME VFR CIGS NEAR 4000 FT BY AFTERNOON. NW WIND
25-35 KT DURING THE DAY.

FRIDAY NIGHT...VFR CLEAR.

OUTLOOK...
SATURDAY...VFR CLEAR.
SUNDAY...VFR WITH CIGS 3000-4000 DEVELOPING MIDDAY IN COOL POOL
ALOFT.

THERE IS UNCERTAINTY FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK AS TO HOW FAR NORTHWEST
MVFR CONTENTIONS WILL EXTEND FROM A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM PASSING TO
THE SOUTHEAST OF THE TERMINALS. BECAUSE OF THE LARGE MODEL SPREAD
CONFIDENCE FOR MONDAY INTO TUESDAY SHOULD BE VIEWED AS LOWER THAN
AVERAGE.

&&

.MARINE...
OVERNIGHT...GALE CONTINUED FOR A BRIEF BURST OF SE SHIFTING NW
WINDS NEAR THE APPROACHING LOW CENTER FROM DELMARVA.

FRI...MAY HAVE A GALE FOR AT LEAST THE SRN WATERS THRU DAY IN NW
FLOW.

FRI NIGHT AND SAT...LEFTOVER SCA SEAS.

FOR SUNDAY INTO TUESDAY, A HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO
BUILD NORTH OF THE MARINE AREA ON SUNDAY AND REMAIN NEARLY
STATIONARY MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THE FORECAST MODELS ARE FORECASTING
ANOTHER SERIES OF LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS ALONG A FRONTAL BOUNDARY
EAST OF THE CAROLINAS. THE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE TWO WILL INCREASE
WINDS AND SEAS AGAIN. CONFIDENCE ABOUT THE SCENARIO IS NOT HIGH,
BUT THE FARTHER SOUTH ALONG THE OCEAN WATERS, THE GREATER THE
CHANCES FOR SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS TO OCCUR.

HIGH SURF ADVISORY CONTINUES TODAY INTO FRIDAY BECAUSE OF WAVE
HEIGHT PREDICTION ABOVE 8 FT. THIS IS HIGHLIGHTED IN THE COASTAL
HAZARD MESSAGE PRODUCT /CFW/.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
FLOOD WATCHES AND WARNINGS CONTINUE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.
STORM TOTAL RAINFALL COULD REACH UP TO 6 OR PERHAPS 7 INCHES IN A
FEW AREAS WITH WIDESPREAD 3 TO 5 INCHES ACROSS THE AREA. SOME
AREAS ACROSS ERN PA AND MD HAVE HAD 2 TO 3 INCHES OF RAINFALL
ALREADY. SMALL STREAMS AND CREEKS WILL RESPOND QUICKLY TO THE
RAINS TONIGHT WHILE THE LARGER RIVERS MAY REACH FLOOD STAGES ON
FRIDAY. WE WILL ISSUE STATEMENTS AND WARNINGS TONIGHT AND FRIDAY
TO KEEP YOU UPDATED.

THE LATEST READINGS AND FORECASTS FROM THE GAGED RIVERS/CREEKS ARE
AVAILABLE ON THE AHPS WEB PAGE.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
THE STRONG INFLOW SENDING WATER UP THE CHESAPEAKE HAS RESULTED IN
TIDAL DEPARTURES OF GREATER THAN 3 FEET. BASED ON THIS...AND THE
APPROACHING HIGH TIDE AT CAMBRIDGE...A COASTAL FLOODING WARNING
WAS ISSUED. WHILE THE TIDE HEIGHT MIGHT NOT QUITE MAKE IT AT
TOLCHESTER (WHERE HIGH TIDE OCCURS AFTER MIDNIGHT)...MORE
CONCERNED ABOUT THE TIDAL ACTION AT CAMBRIDGE.

RUNOFF FROM THE HEAVY RAIN COULD AGGRAVATE THE SITUATION.

EARLY NEXT WEEK...ASTRO TIDE CYCLES INCREASE AND ALL THE MODELS ARE
SUGGESTING THE ONSHORE FLOW SHOULD CAUSE POSITIVE TIDAL DEPARTURES.
WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH THIS IN THE DAYS TO COME FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.CLIMATE...
RECORD DAILY RAINFALLS YESTERDAY AT KABE KPHL KILG.

MORE LATER..
