Special Weather Statement, NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
347 PM EDT SAT MAY 28 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
MID-LEVEL RIDGING WILL CONTINUE TO WORKS IT WAY INTO THE REGION OVER
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. A FEW PIECES OF MID-LEVEL ENERGY TRY TO
CARVE INTO THE TOP OF THE RIDGE ON SUNDAY AND EARLY ON MONDAY WHICH
MAY PROVIDE UNSETTLED WEATHER ACROSS THE NORTHERN PARTS OF OUR CWA.
OTHERWISE, SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE KEEPS ITS GRIP ON THE REGION AS
TEMPERATURES SWELL INTO THE LOW TO MID-90S THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF
THE WEEK. A COLD FRONT WILL SWING THROUGH LATER ON WEDNESDAY INTO
THURSDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE FILLING IN BEHIND IT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
AN 18Z LAPS ANALYSIS SHOWS A CORRIDOR OF 1500 TO 2000J/KG OF CAPE
OVER THE SOUTHERN DELMARVA EXTENDING NORTHEAST INTO SOUTHEASTERN NEW
JERSEY. LOCALLY INDUCED SEA BREEZE CONVECTION HAS ALREADY BEGUN TO
INITIATE ACROSS SUSSEX COUNTY AND KENT COUNTY DELAWARE. NOT SURE IF
THE STORMS WILL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN CURRENT DBZS AS THEY INTERACT
WITH THE MARINE LAYER OVER THE SOUTHERN DELAWARE BAY.

MSAS THETA-E ANALYSIS SHOWS SOME COOLING AND DRYING IN SOUTHEASTERN
NEW JERSEY...MAINLY BEHIND THE SEA BREEZE FRONT, WHICH WILL MORE
THAN LIKELY HELP TO INHIBIT FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THE STORMS AS
THEY CROSS INTO NEW JERSEY. OTHERWISE, OVER IN THE WESTERN PORTIONS
OF OUR CWA, NUMEROUS AND WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS HAVE BEEN POPPING
UP MOST OF THE AFTERNOON. SHOWERS WITH A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER ARE
NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION THE REMAINDER OF THE EVENING ACROSS THE
LEHIGH VALLEY AND POCONOS, BUT AS WE START TO LOSE THE SOLAR
INSOLATION, WE LOSE ANY FUEL FOR THESE SHOWERS. THERE IS STILL A
DECENT AMOUNT OF MLCAPE (1000 TO 1500J/KG) OVER THESE AREAS, BUT
WITHIN THIS LOW-SHEAR ENVIRONMENT AND LACK OF ANY SUBSTANTIAL
FORCING, UPDRAFTS WILL HAVE A HARD TIME TO GROW.

OVERNIGHT A WEAK MID-LEVEL IMPULSE MAY DROP THROUGH OUR NORTHWESTERN
ZONES AND PROVIDE ENOUGH LIFT TO SPARK A FEW MORE LINGERING SHOWERS,
BUT AGAIN THESE WILL BE HIGHLY SCATTERED. SKIES SHOULD START TO
CLEAR AS THE CUMULUS FIELD BEGINS TO WANE THIS EVENING AND WINDS
BEGIN TO DIE OFF AS WELL. WITH DEWPOINTS STILL IN THE MID-60S
TONIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY MORNING THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF MOISTURE
TRAPPED BENEATH THE LOW-LEVEL INVERSION. WE AGAIN WILL SEE PATCHY
FOG ACROSS MOST AREAS AND ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT RECEIVED SOME RAIN
FROM TODAY'S SHOWERS/CONVECTION...FOG COULD BE DENSER IN THESE
LOCATIONS. ANY FOG WILL START TO BURN OFF BY THE MID-MORNING HOURS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SUNDAY WILL CLOSELY RESEMBLE SATURDAY, EXCEPT BEING A FEW DEGREES
WARMER, SO AN ALMOST IDENTICAL FORECAST IS EXPECTED. CUMULUS FIELD
DEVELOPS BY LATE MORNING AS CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES ARE ONCE AGAIN
EXCEEDED. THE BEST INSTABILITY LIES OVER EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND
SOUTHERN DELMARVA AND THERE IS A LACK OF BULK SHEAR IN PLACE TO HELP
CONVECTIVE MAINTENANCE. THE ISSUE WITH THE SOUTHERN DELMARVA
CONVECTIVE POSSIBILITIES ON SUNDAY IS THE LACK OF ANY FOCUS. OVER
EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA ANOTHER PIECE OF MID-LEVEL ENERGY WILL PUSH
THROUGH DURING THE DAY, AHEAD OF A BUILDING MID-LEVEL RIDGE. THIS
VORT LOBE COULD ACT AS A CATALYST FOR CONVECTIVE INITIATION ALONG A
FINITE AREA OVER OUR WESTERN ZONES. ACROSS THE DELMARVA NOTHING
CAN REALLY BE SEEN TO ACT AS THE IGNITOR FOR STORMS, EVEN ON THE
MESOSCALE. THE CONVECTION WILL BEGIN TO WANE BY THE EVENING HOURS,
BUT COULD LINGER A BIT LONGER OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN AS LOW-LEVEL
WARM AIR ADVECTION STARTS TO KICK IN SUNDAY NIGHT.

A LARGE WARMING TREND WILL BEGIN ON MONDAY AND LAST THROUGH A
BETTER PART OF THE WORK WEEK. VERY WARM TEMPERATURES OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS, COUPLED WITH AN INCREASE IN DEWPOINTS WILL MEAN
HEAT INDICES INTO THE MID-90S AND WE COULD SEE OUR FIRST HEAT WAVE
OF THE YEAR. THE NAM SHOWS A SLIGHT SOUTHWEST PLACEMENT OF THE
MID- LEVEL RIDGING WHEN COMPARED TO THE ECMWF AND THE GFS AND IS
LESS AMPLIFIED WITH ITS 500MB HEIGHTS. GFS CURRENTLY HAS 593DM
OVER MOST OF OUR CWA WITH PRETTY WEAK WINDS ALOFT. THIS MEANS THAT
A LOT OF SUBSIDENCE WILL BE TAKING PLACE ALLOWING TREMENDOUS
ADIABATIC COMPRESSION TO TAKE PLACE...LOOKING AT HIGHS IN THE LOW
90S ON BOTH MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT-TERM LOOKS TO BE DRY AS A MID-LEVEL CAP
SETS UP AS TEMPERATURES WARM ALOFT. LAPSE RATES, DUE TO THE
WARMING TEMPERATURES, ALSO SLACK OFF BOTH DAYS SO ALL WE REALLY
HAVE TO DEAL WITH WOULD BE THE OPPRESIVE HEAT. THE HAZARDOUS
WEATHER OUTLOOK WILL CONTINUE TO BE OUR HEAT HEADLINE PRODUCT, FOR
THE TIME BEING, AS IT STARTS TO FEEL A LOT MORE LIKE SUMMER.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
EARLY SEASON HEAT WAVE OF 3 TO 4 DAYS PROBABLE FOR THE INTERIOR
PORTIONS OF DELAWARE...AND ALONG AND WEST OF THE INTERSTATE 95
CORRIDOR FROM NEXT KNEL SOUTHWEST INTO NORTHEAST MARYLAND.

WHATEVER BACKDOOR LIKE EFFECTS FROM THE COOLER OCEAN THAT TRANSITION
INTO TUESDAY NIGHT SHOULD BE PUSHING EAST TO THE COAST OR OUT TO SEA
WEDNESDAY AS WESTERLY SURFACE GRADIENT REDEVELOPS AHEAD OF THE SLOW
EVOLUTION OF A COOLING TREND THAT STARTS HERE LATE THURSDAY.

MUCH OF THIS FORECAST WAS BASED ON THE 12Z HPC GUIDANCE.  THREE
DEGREE UPWARD SHIFTS IN THE ALL THE GUIDANCE SURFACE DEWPOINTS WERE
APPLIED TO THE WEDNESDAY FORECAST WHEN WE SHOULD SEE HEAT INDICES IN
THE UPPER 90S IN THE AFTERNOON...BARRING ANY CONVECTIVE DEBRIS WHICH
IS IS UNLIKELY ATTM.

THE DAILIES...

TUESDAY NIGHT...THERE IS A CHANCE OF PATCHY FOG AND STRATUS NEAR THE
WEAK BACKDOOR FRONT WITH LIGHT WIND.  BEST CHANCE ALONG THE NJ
COAST. DONT HAVE FOG IN THE FCST ATTM.  A LITTLE TIME DISTANT FROM
THIS FCST ISSUANCE TO ADD CONFIDENTLY...ESPECIALLY WITHOUT A MORE
DILIGENT REVIEW OF ALL THE GUIDANCE.

WEDNESDAY...HOT AND HUMID WITH THE HI IN THE UPPER 90S IN OUR
GRIDS.  MODERATE TO HIGH PROB FOR AN EVENTUAL URBAN HEAT WARNING AND
SURROUNDING HEAT ADVISORY. TOO DISTANT TO ISSUE A WATCH ATTM EXCEPT
TO CONTINUE THE NOTE IN HWOPHI. LOW PROB OF A THUNDERSTORM.  WE SAW
THIS MORNINGS DAY 5 OUTLOOK VIA SPC.  FOR NOW THE TSTM MIGHT BE
EARLY MORNING? JUST DONT HAVE A GOOD FEEL FOR THIS POSSIBILITY.

THURSDAY...NOT QUITE AS HOT BUT STILL A CHANCE OF NUDGING 90F KPHL
SOUTH WITH A QUICK START TO RISING TEMPS BUT DEWPOINTS DOWN BY ABOUT
10 DEGREES.  THIS COULD BE DAY 4 OF A HEAT WAVE MANY AREAS FROM KPHL
SOUTH.  SOME POSSIBILITY OF A LINE OF TSTMS LATE IN THE DAY.  JUST
DIDN'T WORK THIS ASPECT INTO THE FCST ATTM.

FRIDAY-SATURDAY...HPC GUIDANCE WHICH IS DRY RELIEF SO FAR.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY TO OUR WEST THIS
EVENING AND TONIGHT...AND A SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL BE MAINTAINED
THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE USUAL DIURNAL INFLUENCE OF INCREASED SPEED
DURING THE DAY AND A DECREASE DURING THE NIGHT IS EXPECTED. COPIOUS
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE EXISTS ACROSS THE AREA WITH MID AND UPPER 60S DEW
POINTS...AND THIS WILL BE MAINTAINED THROUGH THE PERIOD.

THE CUMULUS FIELD IS FORECAST TO DISSIPATE THIS EVENING WITH THE
CESSATION OF AFTERNOON HEATING. A PERSISTENCE FORECAST OF ISOLATED
TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND EVEN A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE KEPT FOR
MOST OF THE TAF SITES FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING..AS
ACTIVITY WAS ALREADY NOTED OVER OUR SOUTHERN AND WESTERN ZONES AT
1740Z. A VICINITY SHOWER REMARK WAS USED FOR A FEW HOURS FOR KABE
AND KRDG IN VIEW OF CURRENT RADAR IMAGERY. ELSEWHERE...AS THE
OVERALL AREAL COVERAGE WILL BE LOW...ONLY A CB REMARK WAS USED.

THE CONTINUATION OF A WARM AND MOIST AIRMASS ALONG WITH A LIGHT
SOUTHERLY FLOW IS EXPECTED TO LEAD TO PATCHY IFR CONDITIONS LATER
TONIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. THE NAM MODEL SOUNDINGS AND MOS
GUIDANCE WERE MORE PESSIMISTIC THAN THE GFS. A TEMPO GROUP FOR IFR
CONDITIONS WAS USED FOR NOW...BUT LATER FORECASTERS MAY NEED TO
JUST USE A CATEGORICAL IFR GROUP FOR LATE TONIGHT...MORE SO FOR
CEILINGS THAN FOR FOG...ALTHOUGH THE MORE RURAL SITES MAY LOWER TO A
MILE OR LESS IN FOG.

ANOTHER ROUND OF CUMULUS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP SUNDAY AFTER THE
PATCHY OR POSSIBLE MORE EXTENSIVE STRATUS MIXES OUT...BUT IT MAY NOT
BE QUITE AS EXTENSIVE AS THIS AFTERNOON. A RIDGE BUILDING ALOFT IS
EXPECTED TO CAP MOST CONVECTION...SO A CB REMARK WAS NOT USED FOR
THE 30 HOUR KPHL TAF.

OUTLOOK...
THE FRONT TO THE WEST IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN AND OR DISSIPATE...AND A
RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD AT UPPER LEVELS...SO TYPICAL SUMMERY
WEATHER OF PATCHY LATE NIGHT IFR CONDITIONS...INCLUDING FOG AND SOME
STRATUS...ALONG WITH DIURNAL CUMULUS IS EXPECTED TO RULE THROUGH
ABOUT MIDWEEK. A WEAK COLD FRONT MAY MOVE THROUGH NORTHERN AREAS
MONDAY...BUT A SOMEWHAT STRONGER COLD FRONT IS FORECAST ABOUT
WEDNESDAY...AND THIS MAY INITIATE STRONG CONVECTION LATER WEDNESDAY
INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. COOLER HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE IN
TO CLOSE OUT THE WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...
ON THE WEATHER MAP...A WEAKENING SURFACE FRONT TO THE WEST OF OUR
COASTAL WATERS AND BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE JUST TO THE EAST WILL
MAINTAIN A MODEST SOUTHERLY FLOW ACROSS OUR AREA TONIGHT THROUGH
MONDAY. A WEAK COLD FRONT MAY MOVE THROUGH LATER MONDAY. A STRONG
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IN THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE WILL BUILD FROM THE
LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...THROUGH THE TENNESSEE VALLEY...AND
NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC REGION EARLY THIS
WEEK...WITH THE CENTER OF THE HIGH OVER THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS.

SEAS MAY BUILD A BIT IN THE SOUTHERLY FLOW LATE SUNDAY SUNDAY NIGHT
AND INTO MONDAY. WAVEWATCH BUILDS SEAS BRIEFLY TO 5 FEET AT BUOY
44009 SUNDAY NIGHT...AND A BIT MORE AND FOR A LONGER TIME AT BUOY
44025...BUT SINCE THIS IS A MARGINAL SITUATION AND EFFECTS MAY ONLY
BE OVER THE OUTER COASTAL WATERS...NO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL BE
ISSUED AT THIS TIME. THE SITUATION WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED.

A SOMEWHAT STRONGER COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED LATE WEDNESDAY OR MORE
LIKELY EARLY WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AND THIS COULD INITIATE SOME STRONG
THUNDERSTORMS. HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED FOR LATER THIS COMING WEEK.
