Special Weather Statement, NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
335 PM EDT TUE APR 12 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER WESTERN VIRGINIA WILL TRACK SLOWLY
NORTHEAST AND REACH THE NEW JERSEY COAST WEDNESDAY BEFORE HEADING
TOWARD NEW ENGLAND. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BEHIND THE LOW FOR
THE END OF THE WEEK. LOW PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT LAKES WILL MOVE
INTO NEW ENGLAND THIS WEEKEND, FOLLOWED BY A HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM FOR
MONDAY. A WEAK COLD FRONT SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THE AREA ABOUT
TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
THE GFS INITIALIZATION LOOKED BETTER THAN THE WRF-NMM AT 500MB AND
925MB, BOTH WERE ABOUT THE SAME AT 850MB. NONE OF THE MODELS THOUGH
HAVE HANDLED THE PCPN WELL THRU 18Z WITH THE POOREST PERFORMANCE BY
THE CAN RGEM WHICH HAD A HEAVY PCPN AXIS WHERE NO PCPN FELL IN CENTRAL
PA. WE DO NOT SEE ALL OF THE UKMET 6HR PCPN FIELDS AND AN INFERRED
GUESS WOULD MAKE IT THE BEST OF THE LOT. LATEST ECMWF ALSO APPEARS
LOGICAL WRT TO ONGOING PCPN. THUS WE WILL LEAN THE GFS'S/UKMET WAY
AND IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE GFS MASS FIELDS ARE CLOSER THAN THE
WRF-NMM IN THAT REGARD.

THE SOLELY ISENTROPIC PART OF THE EVENT HAS PASSED ON AND FOR
TONIGHT WE WILL BE AFFECTED BY BOTH THE REMNANTS OF THE ONGOING
CONVECTION AS WELL AS THE TROWAL ADVANCEMENT AND INCREASING FGEN
FORCING/MID LEVEL QVEC CONVERGENCE OVER THE NERN PART OF OUR CWA.
WE CAN ALSO ADD THE ARRIVAL OF THE H2.5 JET STREAK DURING THIS
EVENING. THIS HAS NOT EXACTLY GONE ACCORDING TO PLAN, BUT WE WOULD
EXPECT THE DEVELOPING/ONGOING CONVECTIVE AREA TO OUR SOUTH TO MOVE
INTO OUR CWA AND THEN INCREASE IN SIZE (NOT INTENSITY THOUGH) AS
IT FINDS MORE DIFFLUENT FLOW ALOFT IN THE NORTHERN PART OF OUR
CWA. EVENTUALLY THE INCREASING ONSHORE FLOW WILL TAKE THE PLACE OF
THE CONVECTION TONIGHT. THE INSTABILITY HAS REMAINED PRETTY
IMPRESSIVE WITHIN THE COOL AIR, EVEN MORE SO THAN ANY OF THE
MODELS HAVE HAD. THUS WE WERE FOLLOWED THE MOST AGGRESSIVE MODEL
WITH RESPECT TO INSTAB ALOFT AS TO WHERE TO ADD THUNDER.

WHILE SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN FROM TSRAS IS LIKELY IN DELMARVA, THE
GENERAL IDEA OF IT LOSING ITS PUNCH IN THE DEEPER STABLE AIR WILL BE
FOLLOWED. WE WILL LOOK FOR AT LEAST HYBRID FORCING FOR HEAVIER
PCPN. SO FAR ABOUT HALF AN INCH OF RAIN FELL IN THE FGEN BAND
EARLIER TODAY, HIGHEST AREAL EXTENT AROUND CHESTER COUNTY. THE
FAVORED FORCING TNGT IS MORE OVER NJ AND POSSIBLY THE POCONOS THAT
HAD LESS RAIN AND A BIGGER BREAK. MORE IN THE HYDRO SECTION
BELOW, BUT WE ARE NOT ENVISIONING ANY STREAM FLOODING.

AS FAR AS THE WINDS GO, THE WRF-NMM HAS COOLED ITSELF SLIGHTLY
FROM YESTERDAY AS NONE OF ITS MOMENTUM TRANSFER WINDS REACH WIND
ADVISORY CRITERIA TONIGHT. PART OF THE REASON IS THE FCST SFC LOW
PRESSURE IS WEAKER THAN YESTERDAY AND THE LOW ITSELF IS FORECAST
TO WEAKEN AS IT APPROACHES THE COAST. THIS DOES SEEM LOGICAL AS
THE DRY AIR HAS WRAPPED PRETTY DEEPLY AROUND THE 500MB LOW. THE
GFS HAS BEEN MORE SUBDUED ALL ALONG. NOT A TEXTBOOK CASE, BUT A
LOCAL DEVELOPED NOR'EASTER CHECK LIST BASED ON THE FCST PRESSURE
GRADIENT FALLS JUST SHORT OF ADVISORY CRITERIA.

STAT GUIDANCE TEMPS ARE PRETTY CLOSE AND SEEMED REASONABLE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
WHILE THE SYNOPTIC SCALE FORCING WILL BE DONE COME WEDNESDAY
MORNING, THE CLOSED LOW WILL STILL HAVE TO MOVE THROUGH OUR CWA.
SELF DESTRUCT SUNSHINE, IF IT CAN OCCUR AT ALL FOR US, HAPPENED
TODAY IN WV/KY AND TN. THIS SHOULD BE OUR WED OUTCOME. THE GFS
GOES AS FAR AS TO FORECAST SOME SFC BASED CAPES, BUT ITS SFC DEW
POINT FCSTS PRE PRECIPITATION APPEAR 5 TO 10F TOO HIGH. WITH THE
LOW FREEZING LEVEL IN SPITE OF THE LACK OF ELECTRIFICATION WOULD
NOT BE SHOCKING TO MAYBE HAVE SOME SMALL HAIL. NOT TOO MANY
CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE FORECAST WITH THE HIGHEST POPS IN THE
NORTHERN HALF OF OUR CWA. MAX TEMPS WERE A STAT GUIDANCE BLEND
WHICH TAKES INTO ACCOUNT SOME UPSIDE TEMP POTENTIAL BETWEEN THE
SHRAS.

WE FOLLOWED THE FASTER GFS/UKMET SOLUTION VS THE NAM TO END SHRAS
CHANCES ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS FOLLOWS THE GENERAL TREND OF THE
PREVIOUS FORECAST WITH HIGHEST POPS NE CLOSEST TO THE CLOSED LOW AND
NOT MUCH OF A CHANCE AFTER MIDNIGHT. STAT GUIDANCE WAS CLOSE AGAIN
AND WAS USED. NOT SURE IF SKIES WILL CLEAR IN TIME SOUTH FOR SOME
RADIATIONAL COOLING, ALTHOUGH WE DID HEDGE IT THAT WAY.

IMPROVING CONDITIONS ON THURSDAY WITH STRONG RIDGING FORECAST TO
OCCUR. CLOUDS SHOULD CLEAR QUICKLY IF NOT GONE BY MORNING. WE
WENT WITH THE HIGHER STAT GUIDANCE FOR MAX TEMPS BECAUSE OF THE
EXPECTED SUNSHINE.

A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY/TROF SHOULD PASS THROUGH OUR CWA ON THURSDAY
NIGHT. THIS MARKS THE DIFFERENCE IN AIR MASSES BETWEEN THE CANADIAN
HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM AND THURSDAY'S HIGH TO THE SOUTH. IT ALSO
SHOULD BRING SOME MID TO HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS MAINLY ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PART OF OUR CWA THURSDAY NIGHT. A SLIGHTLY COOLER DAY
(NOT AS COOL AS MEX MOS WHICH GIVES TOO MUCH CREDIT TO ONSHORE
FLOW WRN HALF OF OUR CWA) IS FORECAST FRIDAY BECAUSE OF THIS
CANADIAN HIGH AND THE ONSHORE FLOW. THE 500MB RIDGING IS FORECAST
TO BE WEST OF OUR CWA THRU 00Z, SO NO PCPN IS EXPECTED TO REACH US
ON FRIDAY DAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THERE WILL BE ANOTHER PRECIPITATION EVENT THIS WEEKEND...PROBABLY
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT AND THEREAFTER STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY
IN THE THERMAL ADVECTION PATTERNS EARLY NEXT WEEK.

THIS LONG TERM SEGMENT OF THE AFD MAY BE UPDATED WITH MORE HELPFUL
NAEFS AND TEMPERATURE CONFIDENCE INFORMATION AROUND 5PM.

THE 12Z/12 HPC GUIDANCE WAS USED AS THE BASELINE FOR THIS FORECAST.

THE 12Z GEFS IS SIGNIFICANTLY FASTER THAN THE 12Z ECMWF. HAVE SLOWED
DOWN THE ONSET OF THE QPF...PROBABLY TILL SOMETIME SATURDAY MORNING.

POPS CONTINUE HIGH /NOW RAISED TO CATEGORICAL/ FOR AN EVENT SATURDAY
AFTERNOON/EVENING DUE TO THE GENERAL MODEL MESSAGE OF A SE INFLOW
EVENT AS A STRONG TROUGH ALOFT WEAKENS EASTWARD INTO THE NORTHEAST
USA.

THE ECMWF STILL LOOKS RATHER COLD SATURDAY AND ITS NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO
SEE A LITTLE SNOW AT THE START OF THE QPF EVENT IN THE POCONOS.

THE ESSENCE OF THE DAILIES BELOW...

SATURDAY...LOOKS RAINY AT LEAST PART OF THE DAY WITH BRISK ESE
INFLOW.  COULD BE A COLD RAW DAMP DAY.   CONFIDENCE ABOVE AVERAGE.
GUST MAY REACH 40 MPH ALONG THE COAST IN THE AFTERNOON. CONFIDENCE
ON TEMPS AND WIND AS FORECAST IS BELOW AVERAGE.

SUNDAY...DRIES OUT AND SHOULD BE A DECENT DAY HERE.  FORECAST
TEMPERATURE SPREAD IS TIGHTLY CLUSTERED AND CONFIDENCE ON THE
TEMPERATURE OUTCOME IS ABOVE AVERAGE.

MONDAY/TUESDAY...NO BIG STORM BUT THERE COULD BE A DECENT FRONTAL
SYSTEM FORMING IN THE AREA. DIFFERING SOLUTIONS AND CONFIDENCE ON
THE OUTCOME OF THESE TWO DAYS IS LESS THAN AVERAGE.  SMALL CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND TEMPERATURE SOLUTIONS SEEM TO HAVE LARGE SPREAD.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

THE FIRST BATCH OF RAIN WHICH BROUGHT LOWER CONDITIONS EARLIER HAS
MOVES NORTHEAST OF THE TAF SITES. A BREAK IN THE STEADY RAINS AND
LOWER CONDITIONS IS ACROSS THE TERMINALS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THERE
ARE EVEN SOME BREAKS IN THE OVC ACROSS DE AND SRN NJ ATTM.

THE NEXT AREA OF RAIN AND POOR FLYING CONDITIONS WILL ARRIVE FROM
THE SOUTH LATER THIS AFTERNOON. IT WILL BRING A PROLONGED PERIOD OF
LOW CIGS AND VSBYS TONIGHT AND MUCH OF WED MORNING. MOST OF THE
GUIDANCE WENT IFR TONIGHT AND HELD THE LOW CIGS INTO WED. I SEE
LITTLE TO ARGUE WITH REGARDING THIS. THE CHANGES IN THE 18Z TAFS
WERE SMALL WHEN COMPARED TO THE EARLIER 12Z TAF IN THE TONIGHT
PERIOD.  NORTHEAST WINDS WILL INCREASE INTO TONIGHT AND BECOME
GUSTY. GUSTS TO AROUND OR OVER 25 KTS EXPECTED IN MANY AREAS.

.OUTLOOK...
AS THE LOW BEGINS TO PULL AWAY TO THE NORTHEAST ON WEDNESDAY, THE
RAIN AND DRIZZLE WILL TAPER OFF AND BECOME MORE SHOWERY. EXPECT
VFR CONDITIONS TO RETURN LATE WEDNESDAY AND PERSIST THROUGH
FRIDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO OUR REGION.

&&

.MARINE...
LOW PRESSURE OVER VIRGINIA WILL SLOWLY TO THE COAST TONIGHT AND THEN
UP ALONG OUR WATERS WEDNESDAY. IT WILL BRING INCREASING WINDS AND
CHOPPY SEAS TO THE WATERS. GUSTS WILL LIKELY REMAIN AROUND 30 TO 35
KNOTS FOR THE MOST PART...SO THE SCA FLAG WILL BE KEPT WITH THE
PACKAGE WITH A MENTION OF A FEW GUSTS TO 35 KNOTS. THERE IS ONLY LOW
CONFID IN CONSISTENT GALE CONDITIONS ON THE WATERS TONIGHT. WINDS ON
THE BAY WILL SUBSIDE BY WED MORNING...SO THE SCA FLAG WILL COME DOWN
THERE FIRST. THE SCA FOR THE OCEAN WILL GO LONGER SINCE THE SEAS
WILL SUBSIDE SLOWER.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE IN CONTROL OF THE WEATHER WED NIGHT THROUGH
FRI NIGHT. ANOTHER LOW WILL MOVE WELL WEST OF THE REGION SAT AND
SUN. A FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW WILL CROSS THE WATERS...WITH
POSSIBLE WAVE DEVELOPMENT ALONG IT SAT AND SUN. MORE SCA CONDITIONS
ARE POSSIBLE THEN.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
THE MAIN CONCERN IS THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN INTO TONIGHT. WHILE
THERE IS SOME MODEL SPREAD ON POSITIONING OF THE HEAVIEST RAIN LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. THE RAIN COMING IN TWO BATCHES IS
OCCURRING.

THE SECOND BATCH SHOULD DEVELOP IN THE TROWAL AHEAD OF THE SURFACE
LOW AND WELL AHEAD OF THE CLOSED MID LEVEL LOW OVER VIRGINIA. THERE
IS SOME INDICATION TO MID LEVEL FRONTOGENETIC FORCING DURING THE
EVENING, WHICH SCOOTS NORTHEAST DURING THE EVENING HOURS. MODEL
SOUNDINGS ALSO INDICATE SOME ELEVATED INSTABILITY.

THIS AREA OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN COULD PRODUCE AROUND ONE INCH OF
ADDITIONAL RAIN IN A 6 TO 8 HOUR PERIOD...MAINLY OVER NORTHEASTERN
PENNSYLVANIA AND NORTHERN NEW JERSEY. THE SOUTHERN POCONOS COULD BE
THE LOCATION OF THE HEAVIEST RAIN...AS UPSLOPING EAST TO SOUTHEAST
WINDS CONTRIBUTE TO RAINFALL AMOUNTS.

THESE NUMBERS ARE JUST BELOW THE LOWER END OF THE HEADWATER GUIDANCE
NUMBERS FOR THIS AREA. THERE WAS NOT MUCH OF A HYDROLOGIC RESPONSE
TO THE RAIN ON THE 8TH IN MUCH OF THE AREA...SO WE DO NOT APPEAR
TO BE OVERLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO FLOODING. THE RAINFALL AMOUNTS ABOVE
SUGGEST POOR DRAINAGE AND NUISANCE FLOODING...AND GIVEN THE
REASONING ABOVE WILL HOLD OFF ON A FLOOD WATCH. NONE OF THE 00Z
MMEFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS BRING FORECAST RIVER POINT GAGES TO FLOOD
STAGE.

&&

DE...NONE.
MD...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 6 AM EDT THURSDAY FOR ANZ450>455.
