Area forecast discussion, Jun 9, 10:10 PM EDT, 1 hour 14 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1010 PM EDT THU JUN 9 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE MOVING ACROSS EASTERN CANADA WILL SEND A COLD FRONT
THROUGH OUR REGION TONIGHT. THIS BOUNDARY WILL STALL OVER OR JUST
TO THE SOUTH OF THE AREA THROUGH SATURDAY. ON SUNDAY, ANOTHER COLD
FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE MID ATLANTIC STATES. HIGH PRESSURE
FROM THE GREAT LAKES WILL THEN BUILD OVER OUR REGION FOR THE EARLY
PART OF NEXT WEEK. A WARM FRONT SHOULD THEN APPROACH THE AREA
AROUND THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE
DELMARVA AND ERN NJ. THE SVR WATCH ISSUED EARLIER HAS EXPIRED.
SEVERAL REPORTS OF LIMBS DOWNED AND PENNY TO DIME SIZED HAIL AS
THE STORMS MOVED THROUGH. THE LSR REPORTS DETAIL THE TIMES AND
PLACES OF SVR WEATHER.

SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL DIMINISH OVERNIGHT AND PATCHY FOG WILL
DEVELOP. SKIES WILL BE MOSTLY CLOUDY...BUT MAY BREAK UP A LITTLE
TOWARD DAWN. TEMPERATURES HAVE FALLEN BACK TO MORE COMFORTABLE
LEVELS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE MODELS DEPICT THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY GRADUALLY SETTLING OVER OR
JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA DURING FRIDAY AND INTO
SATURDAY. WITH THIS FRONT IN OUR VICINITY FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY,
MORE CHANCES FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED,
WITH THE MODELS ALSO DEPICTING A FEW UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES
TRACKING NEAR OR ALONG THE BOUNDARY.

THERE WILL BE SOME RELIEF FROM THE RECENT HEAT WAVE ACROSS THE
REGION AS A COOLER AIR MASS FILTERS IN BEHIND THE STALLING COLD
FRONT.

SHOWER AND TSRA ACTIVITY SHOULD CONTINUE UNTIL A COLD FRONT
CLEARS OUR CWA LATE ON SUNDAY. WHILE THE WEEKEND TIMING IS NOT
GOOD, THE NEED FOR SOME PRECIPITATION IS INCREASING WITH EACH
PASSING DAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A MID LEVEL TROUGH FROM THE NORTHWEST IS EXPECTED TO DROP OVER
OUR REGION EARLY IN THE NEW WEEK WITH ITS AXIS PASSING OVERHEAD
AROUND TUESDAY. A RIDGE IS FORECAST TO FOLLOW WITH THE RIDGE AXIS
ANTICIPATED TO ARRIVE AROUND THURSDAY.

AT THE SURFACE, HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO BE OVER THE GREAT
LAKES ON SUNDAY NIGHT. THE HIGH SHOULD BUILD SLOWLY TO THE
SOUTHEAST, PASSING OVER OUR REGION AROUND TUESDAY NIGHT. A WARM
FRONT IS FORECAST TO APPROACH FROM THE SOUTHWEST ON THURSDAY.

AFTER SOME LINGERING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON SUNDAY EVENING,
ESPECIALLY ON THE COASTAL PLAIN, DRY WEATHER IS ANTICIPATED FROM
SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WE WILL INCLUDE A SLIGHT
CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE APPROACHING WARM
FRONT ON THURSDAY.

NEAR SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

AT 0030Z, THE THUNDERSTORMS WERE TO THE EAST OF KABE AND KRDG.
THEY WERE MOVING THROUGH KTTN, KPNE, KPHL AND KILG AND THEY SHOULD
BE OUT OF THE PICTURE AT THOSE LOCATIONS BEFORE 0130Z. IT LOOKS AS
THOUGH THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL REACH KMIV AND KACY AND THE TAFS
WILL BE UPDATED TO INCLUDE THEM IN THE 0100Z TO 0300Z TIME FRAME.

WE PLACED MVFR FOG AT KRDG BASED ON CLIMATOLOGY. ALL TERMINAL
OVERNIGHT, THERE WILL BE DEBRIS CLOUDINESS MAINLY AT MID AND HIGH
LEVELS.

THE COLD FRONT THAT IS TRIGGERING THE TSRAS TODAY WILL SETTLE
SOUTH OF THE TERMINALS BY FRIDAY MORNING. A GRADUAL SHIFT IN THE
WINDS FROM WEST TO NORTH SHOULD OCCUR OVERNIGHT AND THEN FROM
NORTH TO EAST ON FRIDAY.

SOME SHRAS AND TSRAS MIGHT OCCUR DURING FRIDAY AFTERNOON, BUT
GREATEST CHANCES AS OF NOW APPEAR SOUTH OF OUR FORECAST TERMINALS.

OUTLOOK...
THE FRONT IS FORECAST TO STALL JUST TO OUR SOUTH, THEN GRADUALLY
BEGIN TO BECOME MORE ACTIVE UNTIL A LOW ON IT PASSES EAST OF OUR
AREA ON SUNDAY. SO WHILE MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD OCCUR, THERE
WILL BE TIMES FROM FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY WHERE SHRAS AND
TSRAS SHOULD RESTRICT BOTH CIGS AND VSBYS TO MVFR LEVELS AND FOR
SHORT DURATIONS MAYBE IFR CONDITIONS. PRIMARILY VFR CONDITIONS ARE
THEN EXPECTED ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
SUB-ADVISORY CONDITIONS STILL ARE FORECAST THROUGH THE FORECAST
PERIOD. WINDS AND SEAS MAY APPROACH THE CRITERIA OVER THE NORTHERN
ATLANTIC WATERS IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY. ON-AND-OFF CONVECTION BECOMES POSSIBLE BEGINNING LATE
THIS AFTERNOON OR TONIGHT AND IS EXPECTED TO END BY MONDAY AS THE
FRONT STALLS JUST TO OUR SOUTH AND THEN BECOMES ACTIVE. HIGH
PRESSURE THEN TRIES TO NOSE IN AND BRING DECENT BOATING CONDITIONS
FOR THE START OF THE WORK WEEK.

WE ANTICIPATE A LOW RISK OF RIP CURRENTS ON FRIDAY.
