AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
904 PM EDT FRI MAY 6 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COLD FRONT AND UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM WILL CROSS THE AREA LATE
TONIGHT. A WEAK AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE GENERALLY SLIDES TO OUR SOUTH
SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY, THEN A WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKS ACROSS
THE MID ATLANTIC REGION LATER SUNDAY. HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS INTO
THE REGION MONDAY AS A STORM SYSTEM ORGANIZES OVER THE CENTRAL
PLAINS. THIS SYSTEM MAY BE A SLOW MOVER AND ITS ASSOCIATED WARM
FRONT GRADUALLY MOVES INTO THE OHIO VALLEY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THEN TRACKS INTO THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY
FRIDAY WITH ITS WARM FRONT GETTING CLOSER TO OUR REGION.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
FOR THE 8 PM UPDATE...INCREASED POPS BEFORE MIDNIGHT AND
INTRODUCED A MENTION OF THUNDERSTORMS THROUGHOUT MOST OF EASTERN
PA. AN AREAS OF SHOWERS WITH A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS IS
HEADING EAST FROM THE LOWER SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY AND SHOULD ARRIVE
IN CHESTER COUNTY AP AND THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE EASTERN
SHORE BETWEEN 8 AND 9 PM. LIGHTNING ACTIVITY WILL BE ISOLATED, BUT
IT NEEDS TO BE MENTIONED IN THE FORECAST. SOME RESIDUAL SHOWER
ACTIVITY IS POSSIBLE AGAIN DURING THE LATE EVENING AND EARLY
OVERNIGHT HOURS, BUT THEN SHOULD END FROM WEST TO EAST AS
CURRENTLY ADVERTISED IN THE GRIDS. WINDS GUSTS IN THE 20 TO 30 MPH
RANGE LATE THIS AFTERNOON HAVE NOW CALMED DOWN AND SEE NO ISSUES
WITH WIND DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. TEMPS AND DEWPOINT
TEMPERATURES WERE TWEAKED JUST A BIT TO MATCH CURRENT CONDITIONS.

A SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL SLIDE ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT WITH A
WEAK COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH IT AT THE SURFACE. THIS SHORT
WAVE TROUGH TENDS TO GET ABSORBED INTO A LARGE SCALE UPPER-LEVEL
TROUGH LATE TONIGHT. IF SOME ELEVATED INSTABILITY IS ABLE TO BE
MAINTAINED THROUGH THE NIGHT, MORE CLOUDS WILL TEND TO REMAIN IN
PLACE. GIVEN THE SHORT WAVE TROUGH SLIDING ACROSS, WE KEPT A
DECENT AMOUNT OF CLOUDS AROUND THROUGH THE NIGHT ESPECIALLY ACROSS
THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN AREAS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
THIS TIME FRAME LOOKS TO FEATURE AN AMPLIFYING UPPER-LEVEL FLOW
PATTERN. THIS TYPE OF FLOW, ESPECIALLY DURING THIS TIME OF THE YEAR,
TENDS TO OFFER SIGNIFICANT CONTINUITY ISSUES AMONG THE MODEL
GUIDANCE. THEREFORE, THE TIMING OF SYSTEMS CARRIES LOWER CONFIDENCE.
THERE APPEARS TO BE SOME SORT OF A BAROCLINIC ZONE THAT ORGANIZES
FROM THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. UP TO THE OHIO VALLEY THEN BACK INTO THE
PLAINS. THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO CYCLOGENESIS WITH TIME IN THE PLAINS,
WHICH LEADS TO WAA UP TOWARD THE OHIO VALLEY. ALONG THIS DEVELOPING
THERMAL GRADIENT, SEVERAL SHORT WAVES IN THE FLOW MAY TRACK FROM THE
MIDWEST TO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION. THE TIMING AND STRENGTH OF THESE
TYPE OF SYSTEMS CARRIES SOME UNCERTAINTY. ONE OF THESE FEATURES
LOOKS TO MOVE THROUGH LATER SATURDAY THEREFORE A FEW SHOWERS CANNOT
BE RULED OUT MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING ACROSS
THE NORTHWEST ZONES.

FOR SUNDAY, THE MAIN TROUGH AXIS LOOKS TO BE TO OUR EAST LIMITING
THE POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS OR STORMS. THIS AREA MAY END UP SHIFTING
SOUTHWEST OF OUR AREA WHERE TERRAIN AND PERHAPS A LEE-SIDE TROUGH
COMES MORE INTO PLAY. HOWEVER, SOME OF THE MODEL GUIDANCE HINTING AT
A WEAK SURFACE LOW SLIDING SOUTHEAST FROM THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES TO
THE MID ATLANTIC AREA ON THE NORTHEAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING RIDGE.
OUR CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH WITH THIS FEATURE, THEREFORE WE WILL JUST
CARRY SOME SLIGHT CHC TO LOW CHC POPS ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
AREAS TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY DEVELOPMENT.

FOR MONDAY, AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH IS FORECAST TO AMPLIFY MORE OUT
WEST WHICH WILL FAVOR DOWNSTREAM RIDGING AND POTENTIALLY THE START
OF SOME BLOCKING. THE LARGE UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE EAST LOOKS TO
SHIFT FAR ENOUGH OUT TO SEA TO ALLOW A PRONOUNCED WARMING OF THE MID
LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE ACROSS OUR REGION DURING THIS TIME FRAME.
WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH THE POTENTIAL CLOSED LOW IN THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC THOUGH IN CASE IT TRIES TO RETROGRADE CLOSER TO THE COAST.
AS OF NOW, WE WILL GO WITH A DRY FORECAST WITH JUST ENOUGH
SUBSIDENCE OVER THE AREA.

AS FOR TEMPERATURES, WE GENERALLY USED AN EVENLY WEIGHTED BLEND OF
THE MOS GUIDANCE BUT THEN MADE SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS. DID LOWER
HIGHS ALONG THE COAST SOME AS THE LOW-LEVEL FLOW LOOKS TO BE FROM AN
ONSHORE DIRECTION.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AN OMEGA BLOCK WEATHER PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO PREDOMINATE DURING
MOST OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD WITH OUR CWA ON THE DRY SIDE OF THE
BLOCK UNTIL THU AND MORE LIKELY FRIDAY.

THERE IS PRETTY GOOD MODEL CONSISTENCY THROUGH WEDNESDAY ABOUT A
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE NOSING DOWN INTO OUR CWA FROM SERN CANADA AS
AN OCEAN STORM REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY ABOUT 40N60W AND A FRONTAL
SYSTEM EDGES ITS WAY FROM THE ROCKIES.

WE WENT BELOW STAT GUIDANCE IN THE NJ PINE BARRENS FOR MINS MONDAY
NIGHT AND TUESDAY NIGHT AS WINDS LOOK TO BE RATHER LIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY. MOST PLACES WE WENT BELOW STAT GUIDANCE FOR MAX TEMPS ON
TUESDAY BASED ON FCST 850MB TEMPS. CONFIDENCE IS NOT THAT STRONG AS
IT SEEMS IN SPRING MAX TEMPS FIND A WAY OF EXCEEDING STAT GUIDANCE
ON SUNNY DAYS. WENT CLOSER TO STAT GUIDANCE FOR MAX TEMPS WED. STAT
GUIDANCE LOOKED LOW IN DELMARVA BOTH TUE AND WED AND WE WENT HIGHER
BOTH DAYS FOR MAX TEMPS.

A NATURAL PROGRESSION OF INCREASED UNCERTAINTY TOWARD DAYS 6 AND 7
IS OCCURRING IN THIS PACKAGE AS THE BLOCK IS FCST TO WEAKEN AND
SYSTEMS START MOVING AGAIN. THE THU AND FRI FCST IS A BLEND OF
CONTINUITY AND LATEST 12Z HPC GUIDANCE. THE GFS IN TYPICAL FASHION
IS FASTEST WHILE THE 00Z ECMWF WAS EXTREMELY SLOW. THE 12Z ECMWF DID
COME IN WITH A FASTER SOLN. OVERALL WE ARE CLOSEST TO A UKMET/CAN
GGEM COMPROMISE. THUS LOW POPS WERE KEPT IN FOR WED NGT AND THU AND
THEN INCREASED TO CHANCE THU NGT AND FRI. USING THE GFS AS A
TEMPLATE, IT DOES BECOME UNSTABLE ENUF FOR TSRAS (ESP WRN CWA) ONCE
THE FRONT NEARS, BASED ON LATEST HPC GUIDANCE THIS WOULD BE FRIDAY
INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. WE WENT PRETTY MUCH WITH STAT GUIDANCE FOR MINS
AND MAX TEMPS ON THU AND COMP BETWEEN THE 00Z AND 12Z DATASETS FOR
FRI. FRIDAY MAY BE MUCH WARMER THAN CURRENTLY FCST IF THERE CAN BE
MORE SUNSHINE THAN CURRENTLY PLANNED AS 850MB TEMPS WOULD SUPPORT
80S ON THE COASTAL PLAIN.

&&

.AVIATION /01Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

THE NEXT SET OF TAFS WILL HAVE VFR CONDITIONS FORECAST THRUT,
ALTHOUGH THE FIRST COUPLE OF HOURS WE ARE KEEPING OUR EYES ON A
CLUSTER OF SHRA AND TSRA CROSSING DELAWARE BAY.

THIS CLUSTER NO LONGER HAS THE MOST UNSTABLE AIR MASS OF THE DAY
TO FUEL IT AND SFC BASED INSTABILITY IS MARGINAL AT BEST.
NEVERTHELESS ITS GETTING TO CLOSE TO THE LOCAL KPHL AIRPORTS FOR
COMFORT AND WE HAVE AMENDED THE TAFS TO INCLUDE TSRA(S) FOR A
COUPLE OF HOURS UP TO MIDNIGHT. THE LATEST LATEST HI RESOLUTION
MODELING IS STILL SUGGESTING THAT THIS GENERAL AREA WILL HAVE A
HARD TIME SURVIVING BEYOND 03Z AND WE KEPT THAT AS AN ENDING TIME
OF THE VCSH AT OTHER AIRPORTS.WHERE THUNDER HAS OCCURRED THE
CLOUD BASES ARE PRETTY HIGH, AROUND 6K, AND VSBY RESTRICTIONS HAVE
NOT BEEN LOWER THAN MVFR. BIGGER PARAMETERS HAVE BEEN THE
LIGHTNING BECAUSE THE AIR MASS ALOFT IS RELATIVELY COLD AND HAS IT
MADE IT EASY FOR THE CHARGE SEPARATION NEEDED TO PRODUCE IT. ALSO
BECAUSE OF THE LARGE TEMPERATURE DEW POINT SPREADS, SOME WIND
GUSTS TO AROUND 30 KT ARE POSSIBLE, STILL MORE LIKELY AT ANY
AIRPORTS WEST OF KPHL AND KILG.

AFTER THIS EVENING, WE ARE EXPECTING JUST SOME REMNANT CLOUDS
(MOST LIKELY ALTOCU), TO BE AROUND AND CHANCES ARE WE SHOULD
BECOME CLEAR TOWARD MORNING. THE LATEST NAM MODEL HAS BACKED AWAY
FROM A LOW MVFR CIG FORMING WHICH APPEARS LIKELY GIVEN HOW DRY THE
AIR MASS IS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CONVECTION. WE DID NOT INCLUDE
ANY FOG PENDING THE OUTCOME OF THE CONVECTIVE AREA.

ON SATURDAY DAY WE ARE EXPECTING VFR CONDITIONS. ANOTHER COLD
POCKET OF AIR ALOFT WILL MAKE IT EASY FOR HIGH BASED CUMULUS
CLOUDS TO FORM. BY AFTERNOON THIS SHOULD FORM A VFR CIG FROM
AROUND THE LOCAL KPHL AREA AIRPORTS N AND W. THERE COULD BE SOME
SPRINKLES OR SHOWERS AROUND, BEST CHANCES AT AIRPORTS NORTH AND
WEST OF THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR. CONFIDENCE AND AREAL EXTENT IS
NOT EXPECTED TO BE ENOUGH TO INCLUDE SHRAS AS ANY TAF SITE FOR
NOW. THE FORECAST WIND FIELDS ARE RELATIVELY WEAK AND OUTSIDE OF
PROXIMITY TO SHRAS (WHERE GUSTS MIGHT GET TO AROUND 30KT AGAIN),
SUSTAINED WEST WINDS SHOULD AVERAGE 10 TO 15 KT WITH PEAK GUSTS OF
AROUND 20KT FOR THE DAY AT MOST TERMINAL SITES.

OUTLOOK...
ANY LEFTOVER CONVECTION WITH THE EXITING SHORT WAVE SHOULD END
SATURDAY EVENING. THE SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL STALL SOUTH OF THE
AREA SUNDAY...AS LOW PRESSURE RIDES ALONG IT LATE IN THE WEEKEND.
RIGHT NOW...IT WOULD APPEAR AS THOUGH THE FRONT SHOULD BE FAR ENOUGH
SOUTH FOR VFR CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY...WITH CONVECTION
REMAINING SOUTH OF THE AREA. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING SOUTH FROM
QUEBEC SHOULD BRING A CONTINUATION OF VFR CONDITIONS INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...
THE SOUTH SOUTHWEST GRADIENT REMAINS BELOW SMALL CRAFT LEVELS ON THE
OCEAN AND THE UPPER DELAWARE BAY (ESPECIALLY ALONG THE NEARSHORE
WATERS). SEAS ON THE OCEAN WATERS ARE UP TO 4 FEET.

THE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN FOR A TIME THIS EVENING AS THE SURFACE
HIGH CONTINUES TO MOVE EAST OF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST AND A COLD
FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. THE DEPTH OF THE MIXED LAYER
REMAINS FAIRLY LOW OVER THE OCEAN...WITH WATER TEMPERATURES
REMAINING IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S. THE TRANSFER COULD BECOME MORE
EFFICIENT WITH LOWER LEVELS COOLING THIS EVENING.

THE FETCH COULD ALSO ALLOW SEAS TO GET TO NEAR 5 FEET...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS SOUTHERN OCEAN WATERS. WITH THIS IN MIND...THE SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE OCEAN. RIGHT NOW...IT DOES NOT
APPEAR AS THOUGH THE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN QUICKLY ENOUGH FOR SMALL
CRAFT GUSTS TO DEVELOP. FOR THIS REASON...THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
WILL NOT BE EXTENDED TO THE DELAWARE BAY FOR TONIGHT.

THE SURFACE FRONT WILL CROSS THE COASTAL WATERS BETWEEN 1000 UTC AND
1300 UTC SATURDAY. BEHIND THE FRONT...THE LOW LEVEL COLD AIR
ADVECTION COULD ALLOW WINDS TO GUST TO 20 KNOTS FOR A TIME LATE
SATURDAY MORNING...BUT OVERALL WINDS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW 20 KNOTS.
SEAS ON THE COASTAL WATERS SHOULD DROP BELOW 5 FEET AS WELL...AS THE
SOUTHERLY FETCH SORTS ITSELF OUT.

THE SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL COMES TO REST SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA
LATE SATURDAY NIGHT OR MORE LIKELY SUNDAY MORNING. THERE IS A BIT OF
MODEL SPREAD ON WHERE THE FRONT COMES TO REST...BUT IT IS BECOMING
APPARENT THAT THE FRONT WILL BE FAR ENOUGH SOUTH SO THAT IT WILL NOT
AFFECT THE WINDS OR SEAS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS. LOW PRESSURE
RIDING EAST ON THE SURFACE FRONT SHOULD REMAIN WELL SOUTH OF THE
WATERS SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING SOUTH FROM QUEBEC SHOULD PUSH FRONT WELL TO
THE SOUTH...AND DOMINATE CONDITIONS OVER THE WATERS INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK. THIS SHOULD KEEP WINDS BELOW SMALL CRAFT LEVELS. LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOPING WELL EAST OF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST MAY DEVELOP SOME
SWELL. THE SWELL SHOULD RADIATE TOWARD THE COAST...BUT FOR NOW IT
LOOKS AS THOUGH SEAS WILL REMAIN BELOW 5 FEET.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
MDL STORM SURGE GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT PHILADELPHIA MAY GET TO WITH
ONE-HALF FOOT OF THE MINOR TIDAL FLOODING BENCHMARK WITH THE EARLY
MORNING SATURDAY TIDE. NO STATEMENT NEEDED AT THIS TIME...SINCE IT
WOULD APPEAR WE WILL REMAIN BELOW THE MINOR FLOOD LEVEL. THE STORM
SURGE GUIDANCE IS NOT AS PESSIMISTIC FOR REEDY. ALL OCEAN LOCATIONS
APPEAR TO REMAIN BELOW MINOR TIDAL FLOODING LEVELS.
