Special Weather Statement, NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
308 PM EDT SAT MAY 7 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE OFF THE COAST THIS EVENING.
ANOTHER TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL CROSS THE REGION SUNDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD SOUTH FROM QUEBEC THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK...AS LOW PRESSURE MEANDERS WELL EAST OF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST.
LOW PRESSURE WILL APPROACH THE REGION LATE IN THE UPCOMING WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
CONVECTION COVERAGE WILL BE THE FORECAST ISSUE FOR THE EVENING
HOURS. THE SHORT WAVE AND COLD POOL WILL CROSS NORTHEAST
PENNSYLVANIA AND NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS
EVENING. SO FAR...NO HAIL REPORTS IN THE FORECAST AREA...BUT SMALL
HAIL REPORTS AND WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 30 KNOTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED
JUST NORTH AND WEST OF THE AREA. BASED ON THIS...ENHANCED WORDING
(SMALL HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS) MAY NEED TO BE ADDED TO THE EARLY PART
OF THE EVENING.

MOST OF THE CONVECTIVE COVERAGE SHOULD DISSIPATE WITH THE LOSS OF
HEATING AND THE EXIT OF THE COLD POOL. AS THE SURFACE TROUGH
ASSOCIATED WITH THE MID LEVEL SYSTEM WILL SLOW AS IT MOVES THROUGH
THE REGION THIS EVENING. THE TROUGH COULD REMAIN A FOCUS FOR SHOWER
ACTIVITY INTO THE EVENING...AND THIS MAY NEED TO BE COVERED WITH
SLIGHT CHANCE WORDING. THE TROUGH SHOULD GET SOUTH OF THE AREA LATER
THIS EVENING...BRINGING AN END TO THE ACTIVITY.

MID LEVEL CLOUDINESS COULD LINGER...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTH AS
THE MID LEVEL SYSTEM EXITS. AS THE SURFACE TROUGH COMES TO REST NEAR
THE SOUTHERN AREAS LATER TONIGHT...MID LEVEL CLOUDS COULD DEVELOP
THERE AS WELL. ELSEWHERE...SKIES SHOULD BECOME MOSTLY CLEAR.

THE GRADIENT IN PLACE SHOULD SLACKEN LATER THIS EVENING AS THE
SURFACE TROUGH MOVES OFFSHORE. CLEARING SKIES AND SLACKENING WINDS
WILL ALLOW FOR SOME RADIATIONAL COOLING. DEW POINTS SHOULD RISE A
BIT THIS EVENING AS THE TROUGH PASSES...THEN DROP AGAIN LATER
TONIGHT WITH THE COOLING. RIGHT NOW...THE RADIATIONAL COOLING DOES
NOT APPEAR TO BE IDEAL ENOUGH FOR WIDESPREAD FROST TO DEVELOP. A
MENTION OF PATCHY FROST MAY HAVE TO BE INSERTED INTO THE VALLEYS OF
THE HIGHER TERRAIN...BUT NO FROST ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED. FOR THE
MOST PART...LOWS WERE BASED ON A MOS BLEND.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE FORECAST AREA REMAINS IN A GENERALLY CYCLONIC FLOW SUNDAY AS THE
CLOSED MID LEVEL SYSTEM MOVES OUT. A SHORT WAVE IN THE FLOW LOOKS TO
PASS JUST SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA IN THE AFTERNOON...AS A JET
STREAK CROSSES VIRGINIA. IT WOULD APPEAR AS THOUGH THE BEST
INSTABILITY WILL BE ACROSS SOUTHERN AREAS SUNDAY AFTERNOON...AS MOST
PLACES REACH CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES IN THE AFTERNOON.

LEFTOVER COOL TEMPERATURES IN THE MID LEVELS COULD RESULT IN
ENHANCED BUILDUPS ACROSS NORTHERN NEW JERSEY IN THE AFTERNOON...BUT
IT MAY BE TOO DRY IN THE LOWER LEVELS TO ALLOW PRECIPITATION TO MAKE
IT TO THE GROUND. WITH THIS IN MIND...WILL KEEP NORTHERN AREAS DRY
SUNDAY.

FURTHER SOUTH...WHERE DYNAMICS AND MARGINAL INSTABILITY MEET...THERE
IS A BETTER CHANCE OF SHOWERS. FROM THIS DISTANCE...IT WOULD APPEAR
THAT MOST OF THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY WOULD BE CLOSER TO THE SYNOPTIC
SCALE LIFT ACROSS SOUTHERN MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA. HOWEVER...THIS
WILL BE A CLOSE CALL...AND A SLIGHT CHANCE OF MENTION OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE INSERTED INTO THE GRIDDED FORECAST FOR THE
AFTERNOON.

ELSEWHERE...THE AIRMASS SHOULD REMAIN STABLE ENOUGH FOR DRY
CONDITIONS. CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE REACHED...BUT THE
AIRMASS SHOULD BE DRY ENOUGH FOR MOSTLY SUNNY TO WORK. 850 MB
TEMPERATURES SUPPORT HIGHS RANGING FROM THE MID 60S NORTH TO THE MID
70S SOUTH. THIS IS CLOSE TO THE MOS BLEND AND IS ACCEPTED.

THE LAST OF THE CONVECTIVE CLOUDINESS SHOULD DISSIPATE SUNDAY
EVENING WITH MAINLY CLEAR SKIES THEREAFTER. THE AIRMASS DOES NOT
APPEAR TO BE AS DRY AS TODAY...SO DEW POINTS SHOULD BE A BIT HIGHER.
THE NET RESULT SHOULD BE LOWS SUNDAY NIGHT BEING CLOSE TO THOSE OF
TONIGHT. THIS IS AGAIN NEAR THE MOS BLEND AND ACCEPTED.

THE CLOSED SYSTEM TO THE EAST AND A CLOSING MID LEVEL SYSTEM TO THE
WEST WILL SET THE FORECAST AREA UP UNDER A DEVELOPING OMEGA BLOCK
FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK. THE MID LEVELS STAY COOL MONDAY...AND
CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES SHOULD ONCE AGAIN BE REACHED. AGAIN...THE
AIRMASS MAY BE TOO DRY FOR MORE THAN SCATTERED CUMULUS...SO MOSTLY
SUNNY SHOULD BE OK. 850 MB TEMPERATURES ARE ABOUT THE SAME AS
SUNDAY...AND HIGHS MONDAY SHOULD BE CLOSE TO THE MOS BLEND.

SHORT RANGE MODELS TRY TO SPIN THE SURFACE LOW OFF THE NORTHERN NEW
ENGLAND COAST UP ON MONDAY BEFORE IT SPINS DOWN MONDAY NIGHT AND
TUESDAY AS IT HEADS SOUTHWEST. THE MAIN EFFECT FOR THE FORECAST AREA
SHOULD BE CLOUDINESS...AND RIGHT NOW IT DOES NOT APPEAR AS THOUGH
THERE WILL BE MUCH OF AN EFFECT...AS MID LEVEL HEIGHTS CONTINUE TO
RISE. THE PRESSURE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING SOUTH
FROM QUEBEC AND THE OFFSHORE LOW MAY RESULT IN GUSTY WINDS AT TIMES
BOTH MONDAY AND TUESDAY...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE COAST.

HOWEVER...MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY BOTH LOOKS DRY. TEMPERATURES
SHOULD BE CLOSE TO THE MOS BLEND.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THE EARLY PART OF THE FORECAST REMAINS WARM AND DRY AS AN OMEGA
BLOCK CONTINUES TO BE FORECAST ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE
COUNTRY. WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY LOOK TO BE THE DRIEST DAYS, WITH
THURSDAY BEING THE WARMEST AS WE REMAIN ON THE EASTERN PERIPHERY OF
THE BUILDING RIDGE. EVEN THOUGH WE ARE EXPECTING SEASONABLY WARM AND
DRY CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY, THE WARMEST AIR IS EXPECTED
TO REMAIN TO OUR WEST AS THE RIDGE IS NOT EXPECTED TO BUILD ACROSS
OUR AREA. WE ARE EXPECTED TO BE BETWEEN THE RIDGE TO OUR WEST AND A
TROUGH TO OUR EAST, SO WE SHOULD NOT WARM UP SIGNIFICANTLY. HOWEVER,
IF THE RIDGE DOES BUILD ANY FARTHER EAST, WE COULD WARM UP A FEW
DEGREES MORE.

THE BLOCKING PATTERN IS FORECAST TO BEGIN BREAKING DOWN AS THE RIDGE
SLOWLY BUILDS EAST FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW A FRONTAL
SYSTEM TO MOVE EAST AND APPROACH OUR AREA IN ADDITION TO ALLOW THE
MID/UPPER TROUGH TO OUR WEST BEGIN TO MOVE AS WELL. THE FORECAST
LATE IN THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND BECOMES A LITTLE UNCERTAIN, BUT
LOOKS LIKE IT MAY BECOME DISTURBED AS THESE SYSTEMS TRY TO MOVE TO
THE EAST. THEREFORE WE HAVE A CHANCE OF SHOWERS, AND POSSIBLY
THUNDERSTORMS IF IT BECOMES UNSTABLE ENOUGH FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY.

&&

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

VFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST FOR THE REST OF TODAY, TONIGHT, AND
SUNDAY MORNING...AS WELL AS FOR SUNDAY AFTERNOON FOR THE 30 HOUR
KPHL TAF.

A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE, ESPECIALLY ALOFT, WAS APPROACHING THE TAF
SITES FROM THE WEST EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...AND WILL PASS THROUGH
THE AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND BY EARLY THIS EVENING.
VFR STRATOCUMULUS IS FORECAST TO BE BROKEN TO BRIEFLY OVERCAST. A
FEW LOW-TOPPED SHOWERS OR EVEN A BRIEF THUNDERSTORM WILL OCCUR
ACROSS THE NORTHERN TAF SITES...AND A VICINITY SHOWER MENTION WAS
KEPT THERE ALONG WITH A CB MENTION. INDIVIDUAL RADARS SHOWED THAT
SHOWERS OVER SOUTH-CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA WERE LIGHT AND WIDELY
SEPARATED AT EARLY AFTERNOON...SO A VICINITY SHOWER REMARK WAS
ESCHEWED FOR THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN TAF SITES. IF THESE
MULTIPLY...A RUNNING ADJUSTMENT MAY NEED TO BE MADE.

CLOUDS WILL BECOME SCATTERED AND EVENTUALLY CLEAR AWAY TONIGHT AS
THE FEATURE MOVES EASTWARD AND AWAY FROM THE AREA AND DRIER AIR
WORKS IN FROM THE WEST. NO VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS ARE EXPECTED
TONIGHT WITH A DRY AIRMASS IN PLACE...AND AT LEAST SOME LIGHT
MIXING OCCURRING.

A DRY BACKDOOR FRONT WILL SETTLE SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE REGION LATE
TONIGHT AND SUNDAY, CAUSING WINDS TO SHIFT TO NORTH DURING EARLY
SUNDAY MORNING, ALTHOUGH MOS GUIDANCE IS SHOWING WINDS BACKING
SLIGHTLY TO NORTHWEST BY MIDDAY. A SEA BREEZE WAS INCLUDED FOR KACY
AS THE ENVIRONMENTAL FLOW IS EXPECTED TO BE RATHER WEAK AND BE
OVERWHELMED BY THE SEA BREEZE REGIME BY EARLY AFTERNOON.

OUTLOOK...
VFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO CONTINUE LATER SUNDAY AND AT LEAST
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES ALONG THE
EAST COAST. INITIAL GUIDANCE SHOWS THE RIDGE CONTINUING THROUGH MUCH
OF THE WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...
THE WEATHER LOOKS TO BE FAIRLY TRANQUIL OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
WINDS AND SEAS ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN SUB-SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY INTO
TUESDAY. A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS BY EARLY THIS EVENING...
WITH WINDS BECOMING WEST TO NORTHWEST TONIGHT, AND NORTHWEST OR
NORTH SUNDAY AS A BACKDOOR FRONT IS DEPRESSED SOUTH OF OUR AREA.

A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WHICH IS FORECAST TO SETTLE ALONG THE EAST
COAST MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT APPEARS TO BE MAINTAINED AT LEAST
THROUGH EARLY THIS WEEK. THE RIDGE COULD PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF THE
COMING WEEK. AT THIS TIME, GUIDANCE IS SHOWING LESS OF A GRADIENT
BETWEEN THE RIDGE AND THE OFFSHORE LOW BETWEEN 60 AND 65 WEST
LONGITUDE, AT LEAST AS COMPARED WITH PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS. EVEN SO,
WAVEWATCH GUIDANCE SHOWS SEAS FOR BUOY 44009 GROWING TO SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY LEVELS BY TUESDAY MORNING, IN RESPONSE TO THE INCREASED
SWELLS COMING FROM THE OFFSHORE LOW. HOWEVER, THIS IS DELAYED BY
ABOUT 12 HOURS FROM THE PREVIOUS RUN. THIS SITUATION WILL CONTINUE
TO BE MONITORED FOR A POSSIBLE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY ISSUANCE FOR
TUESDAY AND ON INTO AT LEAST THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.

FAIR WEATHER IS EXPECTED MOST OF THE TIME...BUT SCATTERED SHOWERS OR
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS MAY OCCUR LATER SUNDAY AND SUNDAY EVENING
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN COASTAL WATERS AND DELAWARE BAY IN THE PROXIMITY
OF THE WEAK FRONT JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA.
