Special Weather Statement, NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
746 PM EDT SAT MAY 14 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN THE OHIO VALLEY WILL MOVE VERY SLOWLY EAST
AND REACH MARYLAND ON MONDAY BEFORE WEAKENING. A SECOND LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM SHOULD FORM ON ITS COLD OVER THE CAROLINAS BY TUESDAY MORNING
AND THEN SLOWLY DRIFT NORTH AS IT WEAKENS LATER IN THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
A MID LEVEL IMPULSE CROSSED THE REGION LATE THIS AFTERNOON...AND
CREATED A TEMPORARY INCREASE IN AREAL SHOWER COVERAGE...MAINLY
ACROSS NEW JERSEY. LAPS SOUNDINGS INDICATED SOME ELEVATED
INSTABILITY WITH THE ACTIVITY...BUT NO LIGHTNING WAS NOTED WITH
THE PASSAGE OF THE IMPULSE.

THE NEXT FEATURE UPSTREAM LOOKS LIKE A DEVELOPING MCV ACROSS
SOUTHEAST VIRGINA. CONVECTION RAMPED UP AS A MID LEVEL JET STREAK
ENCOUNTERED AN AREA OF DECENT MLCAPE OVER NORTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA
AND SOUTHEAST VIRGINIA. EXTRAPOLATION OF THE MCV WOULD TAKE IS
ACROSS NORTHEAST MARYLAND AND DELAWARE ABOUT 0230 UTC AND THE
CENTRAL NEW JERSEY COAST ABOUT 0600 UTC.

THE AIRMASS AHEAD OF THE MCV IS DECIDEDLY PRE WARM FRONTAL...WITH
AN EAST SOUTHEAST FLOW DOWN THROUGH SOUTHEAST DELAWARE. AS THE MCV
MOVES NORTH NORTHEAST...THE CONVECTION SHOULD BECOME ELEVATED AS
IT ENCOUNTERS THE MORE STABLE CONDITIONS NEAR THE SURFACE. AS THIS
OCCURS...THE LIGHTNING ACTIVITY SHOULD START TO RAMP DOWN AS THE
MCV RIDES OVER THE STABILITY IN PLACE.

BASED ON THE ABOVE...THE MAIN THREAT FROM THE MCV SHOULD BE A PERIOD
OF HEAVY RAIN. SINCE THE AREA OF CONVECTION IS MOVING (AND WILL
PRESUMABLY WEAKEN AS IT CAN NO LONGER TAP THE INSTABILITY WHERE
IT IS NOW)...THE THREAT FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL LOOKS LOW. NOTED
THAT KRIC HAD A 37 KT GUST WITH WITH THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE
CONVECTION...BUT NOT SEEING MUCH WITH THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THE
AREA. FOR NOW...WILL NOT INCLUDE ENHANCED WORDING (WINDS OR HAIL)
UNTIL THIS STARS OCCURRING UPSTREAM.

ELSEWHERE...IT WOULD APPEAR THAT STEADIER RAIN WILL WAIT UNTIL
LATER TONIGHT. BASED ON THE LOW LEVEL FLOW...WOULD NOT EXPECT
MUCH IN THE WAY OF TEMPERATURE DROP TONIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT INTO MONDAY REGARDING THE MID
LEVEL PATTERN, AND IN FAIR AGREEMENT THROUGH THE PERIOD AT LOWER
LEVELS. THE GENERAL THEME IS THAT A SURFACE WARM FRONT WILL TRY TO
MOVE NORTH AND INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN PART OF THE AREA THANKS TO THE
LOW LEVEL FLOW AROUND LOW PRESSURE WHILE A SURFACE COLD FRONT
WILL TRY TO MOVE SOUTHEAST AND INTO THE NORTHWESTERN PART OF THE
AREA AS A REFLECTION OF THE SLOWLY APPROACHING MID LEVEL VORTEX.
THIS WILL LEAD TO INCREASING FRONTOGENESIS, AND ANY MID LEVEL
IMPULSE AND ASSOCIATED Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE SHOULD COMBINE WITH
THE FRONTOGENESIS, THE ONGOING MOISTURE IN THE LOWER LEVEL
SOUTHERLY FLOW AND VARYING AMOUNTS OF INSTABILITY TO KEEP SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS IN EVERY PERIOD OF THE SHORT TERM. AN UPPER JET
WILL MEANDER NEARBY AS WELL. THANKFULLY, AT THIS POINT WE ARE NOT
SEEING HUGE AMOUNTS OF CAPE FORECAST, AND WE ARE HOPING THAT THE
NEW INDICATIONS OF ONLY A MINIMAL DRY SLOT ON MONDAY ARE CORRECT.

TEMPERATURES GENERALLY FAVOR A CONTINUITY/MAV BLEND. THE NAM IS
BRINGING THAT COLD FRONT FURTHER INTO THE AREA THAN SOME OTHER
MODELS, AND THE MET TEMPERATURE FORECASTS REFLECT THAT BEGINNING
MONDAY. WE HAVE NOT GONE THAT WAY AT THIS POINT.

AT LEAST FOR THE TIME BEING, FFG AND FFH VALUES DO NOT SEEM WITHIN
REACH.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THIS PERIOD AS A
DEEP UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO ROTATE TO OUR WEST. SURFACE MOISTURE
WILL BE AT ITS HIGHEST TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY AS EAST TO
SOUTHEAST WINDS PUMP IN A VERY WET LOW LEVEL FLOW. SHOWERS ARE
LIKELY THROUGH THIS TIME PERIOD WITH THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE
WEDNESDAY. AS THE SURFACE LOW TO OUR SOUTH WEAKENS AND MOVES
SLOWLY NORTH, SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR WILL MOVE IN WEDNESDAY NIGHT
INTO FRIDAY. BUT WITH THE UPPER LOW STILL TO OUR WEST, WE WILL
REMAIN UNSTABLE AND WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS
AND POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH FRIDAY. THE UPPER LOW IS
EXPECTED TO REACH OUR AREA FRIDAY OR FRIDAY NIGHT AND THEN BEGIN
TO MOVE SLOWLY OFF TO THE EAST. THIS WILL ALLOW DRIER AND MORE
STABLE AIR TO MOVE IN AND LOWER THE THREAT FOR SHOWERS AND/OR
THUNDERSTORMS FOR SATURDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN SEASONABLE
THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH DAYTIME HIGHS RANGING FROM THE MID AND
UPPER 60S NORTH TO THE LOWER AND MID 70S SOUTH.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

THE SOUTHEAST FLOW HAS BROUGHT IN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO THE AREA AND
MOST TAF SITS HAVE MVFR CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON. SHOWERS CONTINUE
TO AFFECT THE DELMARVA AND THE SRN HALF OF NJ...BARELY MISSING THE
DEL VALLEY TAF SITES. CONDITIONS WILL SLOWLY DETERIORATE OVERNIGHT
WITH MOST AREAS GETTING IFR OR LOW-MVFR CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT. THE
SHOWERS WILL PROBABLY REMAIN SCT ENOUGH TO USE VCSH IN MOST
AREAS...A BETTER CHC FOR RAINS WILL BE TOWARDS DAWN SUN...WHEN
CATEGORICAL POPS OCCUR. WINDS WILL MOSTLY BE SE OR E TONIGHT.

OUTLOOK...
LOW PRESSURE IN THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. WILL
DRIFT SLOWLY EASTWARD AND AFFECT MUCH OF THE EASTERN U.S. INTO MOST
OF THE COMING WEEK. AS A RESULT, WE ARE ANTICIPATING A PROLONGED
PERIOD OF UNSETTLED WEATHER WITH PERIODS OF RAIN AND SHOWERS AS WELL
AS SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. LOW CEILING AND VISIBILITY VALUES ARE
LIKELY AT TIMES.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS ARE SLOWLY INCREASING AS THE GRADIENT STRENGTHENS ON THE
WATERS. THE DEVELOPING WAVES ON TOP OF THE 3-4 FT SWELL ALREADY IN
PLACE HAS BROUGHT SCA SEAS (AND OCNLY WIND GUSTS) TO THE SRN COASTAL
WATERS TODAY...AND WILL DO SO ON THE NORTHERN WATERS THIS EVENING.
THE SCA FLAGS WILL CONTINUE AS THEY ALREADY EXIST. THESE ENHANCED
WINDS AND SEAS WILL CONTINUE SUNDAY...AND PROBABLY LONGER AS THE LOW
APPROACHES FROM THE WEST.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
THE SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST FLOW AND THE APPROACHING FULL MOON WERE
ACTING TO INCREASE TIDAL DEPARTURES. THIS SITUATION WILL REMAIN
SIMILAR...OR EVEN WORSEN SLIGHTLY...OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

THE UPCOMING HIGH TIDE ALONG THE SHORE AND UP DELAWARE BAY SHOULD
REACH ITS HIGHEST LEVELS NEAR MINOR TIDAL FLOODING LEVELS. THE SAME
WILL BE THE CASE WITH THE OVERNIGHT TIDE IN THE CHESAPEAKE BAY,
LEVELS WILL BE AT OR JUST SLIGHTLY ABOVE. THE CURRENT ADVISORIES FOR
ALL AREAS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AND INTO SUNDAY MORNING.
