Special Weather Statement, NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
137 PM EDT FRI JUN 24 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A NEARLY STATIONARY BOUNDARY DRAPED ACROSS THE AREA IS EXPECTED TO
LIFT NORTHWARD THIS AFTERNOON AS A WARM FRONT WHILE A COLD FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO CROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING, THEN STALL TO OUR SOUTH
OVER THE WEEKEND. HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED FOR LATE IN THE
WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT IS
FORECAST TO LIFT BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT LATE MONDAY INTO EARLY
TUESDAY, FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONT TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY
MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE MAY RETURN TO THE AREA FOR THE LATTER
PORTION OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
UPDATE...BUMPED UP AFTERNOON HIGHS A COUPLE DEGREES ACROSS
DELMARVA. ALSO ADJUSTED CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND
WESTERN ZONES WITH MORE OF IT THE NEXT FEW HOURS. POPS WERE
ADJUSTED IN AN UPWARD FASHION AS WELL ACROSS OUR PA ZONES SOUTH OF
THE POCONOS.

EARLIER...THE NEARLY STATIONARY BOUNDARY HAS VERY SLOWLY SAGGED
SOUTHWARD ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA, NEAR THE PHILADELPHIA AREA AND
INTO SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY. WE ARE EXPECTING THE FRONT TO BEGIN
LIFTING BACK NORTHWARD THIS MORNING AS A WARM FRONT, BUT IT MAY
TAKE A WHILE. THE QUESTION IS HOW FAR THE FRONT MOVES NORTHWARD
THROUGH THE DAY BEFORE THE COLD FRONT MOVES IN. WE MORE OR LESS
HAVE A SPLIT IN THE MODELS ON HOW FAR THE FRONT MOVES. MODELS LIKE
THE GFS, ECMWF, AND CANADIAN LIFT THE FRONT ALL THE WAY THROUGH
OUR AREA, WHILE THE NAM AND HIGHER RESOLUTION MODELS LIKE THE HRRR
DO NOT HAVE THE WARM FRONT CLEARING THE ENTIRE AREA BEFORE THE
COLD FRONT MOVES IN. ACTUALLY THEY SEEM TO HAVE A TRIPLE POINT
DEVELOPING RIGHT OVER OUR CWA. LOOKING AT EVERYTHING, IT SEEMS
THAT THE FRONT SHOULD PROGRESS THROUGH MOST OF THE AREA, AND MORE
THAN LIKELY GET CAUGHT UP ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER OF OUR CWA.
THIS COULD HAVE AN EFFECT ON THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PORTION OF THE AREA. RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE AT LEAST THE
SOUTHERN HALF WILL EVENTUALLY ENTER INTO THE WARM SECTOR. WE WILL
LIKELY HAVE SOME CLOUD COVER TO START THE DAY, BUT WE SHOULD HAVE
A FAIR AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY ACROSS AREAS THAT DO BREAK OUT INTO
SUNSHINE AND ARE LOCATED IN THE WARM SECTOR, SO WE HAVE A FAIR
AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY. EVEN THOUGH CAPE VALUES ARE MODEST,
GENERALLY AROUND 1500 J/KG, THEY LOOK TO BE LONG AND SKINNY. 0-6
KM BULK SHEAR VALUES ARE NOT OUT OF THIS WORLD, BUT THEY ARE
AROUND 30-40 KNOTS. TAKING THIS INTO ACCOUNT, HAIL DOES NOT LOOK
LIKE A SIGNIFICANT THREAT, ALTHOUGH THERE COULD BE SOME; THE MAIN
THREAT WOULD BE MOSTLY STRONG GUSTY WINDS. WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH
FOR ANY ROTATING STORMS AS THEY APPROACH THE WARM FRONT LATER THIS
AFTERNOON. THE SPC DOES HAVE OUR AREA OUTLINED IN A SLIGHT RISK
FOR SEVERE WEATHER; AGAIN, PRIMARY THREAT BEING WINDS. WITH PW
VALUES BEING AROUND 1.5 INCHES, HEAVY RAIN IS AGAIN A POSSIBILITY
ACROSS THE AREA. WE HAVE DECIDED TO ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR
OUR NORTHERN AREAS WHERE THEY HAVE SEEN OVER 2 INCHES IN MANY
PLACES OVER THE LAST DAYS OR SO. THOSE AREAS HAVE SOME VERY
SATURATED GROUNDS, SO IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH TO CAUSE SOME FLASH
FLOODING.

GENERALLY FOR POPS, WE HAVE LIKELY ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER, AND
CHANCE FOR THE REST OF THE AREA. FOR TEMPERATURES, WE TOOK A BLEND
OF THE MAV/MET MOS, BUT STAYED CLOSER TO THE WARMER MAV.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MAKE ITS WAY THROUGH THE AREA LATER
THIS EVENING. BEFORE DOING SO, WE ARE EXPECTING AN AREA OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS TO BE MOVING ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY. A
LOT OF TIMES DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS, YOU EXPECT ACTIVITY TO
DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET, BUT WE WILL LIKELY HANG ON TO SOME CONVECTION
UNTIL THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY PASSES THROUGH. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED
TO BE THROUGH THE ENTIRE AREA BY AROUND MIDNIGHT OR SHORTLY AFTER,
THEREFORE PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE DIMINISHING THEREAFTER AS WELL.

SATURDAY IS EXPECTED TO START OFF MOSTLY DRY. HOWEVER, WE COULD
ONCE AGAIN SEE SOME SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY DURING THE
AFTERNOON. THE MID/UPPER LOW SWINGING ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER OF
THE COUNTRY WILL THROW ANOTHER SHORTWAVE THROUGH THE NORTHEAST
LATE IN THE DAY. WHILE THE STRONGEST PIECE OF ENERGY IS EXPECTED
TO PASS NORTH OF OUR AREA, WITH PW VALUES AROUND OR JUST OVER AN
INCH, WE MAY BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE SHORTWAVE TO HELP SPARK OFF
SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SATURDAY IS ONE OF THOSE INSTANCES
WHEN YOU WOULD EXPECT THE CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION TO DIMINISH ONCE
THE SUN BEGINS TO SET, SO WE DO NOT HAVE ANY PRECIPITATION CHANCE
AFTER 00Z.

BY SUNDAY, THE MID/UPPER TROUGH LIFTS OUT OF THE REGION AND A NEARLY
ZONAL FLOW ALOFT AND HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE BRIEFLY SETS UP
ACROSS THE AREA. THIS SHOULD BRING US DRY WEATHER AND NEAR NORMAL
CONDITIONS. GENERALLY FOR TEMPERATURES FOR THE SHORT TERM, WE TOOK A
BLEND OF THE MAV/MET MOS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN LOOKS TO FEATURE SOME TROUGHING IN
THE NORTHEAST THAT AMPLIFIES SOME WITH TIME. A RIDGE THEN IS
MAINTAINED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN STATES WITH A POTENTIAL SIGNIFICANT
TROUGH ENTERING THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST LATER IN THE PERIOD. THE
AMPLIFICATION OUT WEST WILL HAVE IMPLICATIONS DOWNSTREAM. HPC
FAVORED A NEARLY EVEN BLEND OF THE GFS/ECMWF/UKMET SUNDAY NIGHT
THROUGH TUESDAY TO REFLECT THE BEST CONSENSUS WITH FEATURES
CROSSING THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE U.S. THIS ALSO HELPS TO ARRIVE
AT A COMPROMISE SOLUTION FOR THE AMPLIFYING WEST COAST TROUGH WITH
TIME. FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY, A COMPROMISE OF THE GFS AND ECMWF
WAS USED TO HELP RESOLVE SOME DETAIL ISSUES. THIS PATTERN LOOKS TO
YET AGAIN SET UP A FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO OUR SOUTHWEST WHICH
GRADUALLY LIFTS NORTHWARD AS A WARM FRONT. ANY FEATURES EMBEDDED
WITHIN THE WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT COULD HELP SPARK SOME CONVECTION.
THIS ALSO LOOKS TO BE A RATHER WARM AND HUMID PATTERN WITH PERHAPS
SOME BRIEF RELIEF AT THE START AND END OF THIS TIME FRAME.

BASED ON THE ABOVE, A WEAK AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE
AREA SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY BEFORE SLIDING ACROSS NEW ENGLAND. A
FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO OUR SOUTHWEST LOOKS TO TURN INTO A WARM FRONT AS
WAA STRENGTHENS AS A RESULT OF A SURFACE LOW ORGANIZING ACROSS THE
CENTRAL PLAINS. AS AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH CRUISES ACROSS THE NORTHERN
TIER OF STATES TUESDAY, AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT ALSO SHIFTS
EASTWARD. THIS WILL DRIVE THE WARM FRONT NORTHWARD ACROSS OUR AREA
TUESDAY. A COLD FRONT /PERHAPS WEAKENING SOME/ SLIDES THROUGH LATE
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WITH A LITTLE HINT AT SOME WEAK SURFACE LOW
TRACKING ALONG IT. THIS BOUNDARY ALSO LOOKS TO STALL TO OUR SOUTH AS
IT RUNS INTO PERSISTENT RIDGING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN STATES. WE WILL
CONTINUE WITH SOME SLIGHT CHC TO LOW CHC POPS THROUGH A GOOD PART OF
THE PERIOD BASED ON THE INCOMING WARM FRONT AND THEN THE COLD FRONT.
THE CONVECTIVE CHCS MAY BE MORE TIED TO DAYTIME HEATING, UNLESS WE
GET SOME SORT OF CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES DEVELOPING TO OUR WEST. AS OF
NOW, THE MCS THREAT LOOKS LOW AS THE RIDGING IS NOT FORECAST TO BE
ALL THAT AMPLIFIED AHEAD OF THE NORTHERN TIER UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH
/UNTIL THE END OF THE PERIOD WHEN A SURFACE HIGH SLIDES INTO OUR
AREA/. WE WENT DRY ATTM FOR THURSDAY BASED ON THE SURFACE HIGH
BUILDING DOWN AND THE SURFACE FRONT FORECAST TO BE POSITIONED FAR
ENOUGH TO OUR SOUTH. AS FOR TEMPERATURES, WE DID NOT STRAY TO FAR
FROM HPC GUIDANCE.

&&

.AVIATION /17Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

THE 18Z TAF PACKAGE SHOULD BE VIEWED AS LOWER CONFIDENCE THAN
AVERAGE BECAUSE OF THE CONVECTION AND STUBBORN FRONTAL BOUNDARY
OVER NEW JERSEY AND NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA.

THE FRONT HAS BEEN VERY SLOW TO MOVE NORTHEAST, IN FACT MOVED
SOUTHWEST TOWARD KPHL YESTERDAY. THERE IS A GENERAL SOUTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT ALBEIT NOT A VERY STRONG ONE, THAT SHOULD PUSH THE EDGE OF
THE LOWER CONDITIONS TOWARD NYC. THE LOWEST CONFIDENCE ABOUT THE
EDGE OF THE MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS IS FOR KTTN AND KABE.

AS PER THUNDERSTORMS, WE CARRIED A TEMPO GROUP FOR THE FIRST FEW
HOURS FROM THE KPHL TERMINALS NWWD AS THEY ARE DEVELOPING IN THE
UNSTABLE PRECOLD FRONTAL ENVIRONMENT. WE NUDGED IT LATER IN THE
AFTERNOON TOWARD THE EVENING FOR KMIV AND KACY. NOT CONFIDENT
ENOUGH TO INCLUDE TSRA AT THIS TIME.

THE GREATEST INSTABILITY ALOFT OCCURS DURING THE AFTERNOON, SO WE
DID NOT CONTINUE THE MENTION OF TSRAS INTO THE EVENING AS
CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW. FOR THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD WE WILL CONTINUE
TO ACCESS BASED ON HOW MUCH PCPN FALLS AND HOW NORTHEAST THE OLD
FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVES. SOME MVFR AND POSSIBLY IFR CIGS MIGHT
DEVELOP AGAIN, ESPECIALLY TOWARD NYC. FOR NOW WE JUST FORECAST
MVFR CONDITIONS DUE TO PCPN INDUCED FOG.

A DRIER AIR MASS WILL BE IN PLACE BY SATURDAY MORNING AND WE
EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP DURING THE MORNING AND LIKELY
PERSIST THROUGH THE DAY. THERE WILL BE AN UPPER AIR DISTURBANCE
PASSING NORTH OF PA AND NJ DURING THE DAY SATURDAY AND MOST LIKELY
ANY PCPN ASSOCIATED WITH IT SHOULD REMAIN NORTH OF OUR TERMINALS.

OUTLOOK...
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL INTO MONDAY. FROM LATE
MONDAY AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY, A WARM FRONT SHOULD MOVE THROUGH
THE TERMINAL AREA. THEN A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH
ON WEDNESDAY. BOTH BOUNDARIES MIGHT PRODUCE MVFR TO LOCALLY IFR
CONDITIONS FROM EITHER PRECIPITATION AND OR LOW CLOUDS.

&&

.MARINE...
THE WAVERING SURFACE BOUNDARY DROPPED BACK THROUGH MOST OF THE OCEAN
WATERS OVERNIGHT AND IS NOW LIFTING NORTH. NORTH OF THE
FRONT...EAST TO NORTHEAST WINDS GENERALLY REMAIN BELOW 10 KNOTS.
SOUTH OF THE FRONT...SOUTHWEST WINDS CONTINUE BETWEEN 10 AND 15
KNOTS. SEAS ACROSS SOUTHERN WATERS HAVE NOT REALLY RESPONDED TO
SOUTHERLY FETCH OVER THE PAST TWO DAYS.

AS HAS BEEN THE CASE THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS...THE KEY TO THE WIND
FORECAST WILL BE THE POSITION OF THE SURFACE FRONT. THE GENERAL MODEL
CONSENSUS IS TO KEEP THE FRONT ACROSS THE NORTHERN OCEAN WATERS FOR
MOST OF THE DAY. THE BEST GRADIENT NORTH OF THE WATERS WILL BE THIS
MORNING...AND WINDS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW 15 KNOTS FOR MUCH OF THE DAY.

SOUTH OF THIS...THE GRADIENT TIGHTENS AS A COLD FRONT OVER THE OHIO
VALLEY APPROACHES. HOWEVER...IT NO LONGER APPEARS AS THOUGH THE
GRADIENT WILL SUPPORT SMALL CRAFT WINDS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS
EVENING. WINDS COULD GET CLOSE ON THE DELAWARE BAY FOR A TIME...BUT
NOT ENOUGH FOR FREQUENT GUSTS TO 25 KNOTS. WITH THIS IN MIND...THERE
WILL BE NO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WITH THIS PACKAGE.

THE FRONT SLIPS OFFSHORE THIS EVENING. THE MODEL GRADIENT AND MODEL
SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THAT WINDS REMAIN BELOW 20 KNOTS IN THE INITIAL
SHOT OF COLD AIR ADVECTION. A SECOND SHOT COMES THROUGH SATURDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE PASSES NORTH
OF THE WATERS. A SECOND SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL ACCOMPANY THE MID
LEVEL FEATURE. HOWEVER...GUSTS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW 25 KNOTS AS 925
MB WIND TOP OUT BETWEEN 20 AND 25 KNOTS.

AS THE SURFACE HIGH FROM THE GREAT LAKES BUILDS EAST...THE BEST
GRADIENT SUNDAY OCCURS IN THE MORNING. WINDS SHOULD BACK INT HE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING AHEAD OF A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH...AND THE
WEAKNESS COULD ALLOW SEA BREEZE CIRCULATIONS TO FORM.

WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT LIMITS SUNDAY NIGHT
AND MONDAY AS THE HIGH BUILDS TO THE NEW JERSEY COAST. WINDS AND
SEAS WILL START TO INCREASE AS A WARM FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE MID
ATLANTIC. THE GRADIENT COULD TIGHTEN ENOUGH FOR SMALL CRAFT WINDS
TUESDAY...BUT CONFIDENCE IN THIS NOW IS LOW.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR CARBON, MONROE, LEHIGH, AND
NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES IN PENNSYLVANIA AS WELL AS SUSSEX, WARREN,
HUNTERDON, AND MORRIS COUNTIES IN NEW JERSEY. THESE AREAS HAVE
SEEN TWO TO AS MUCH AS FOUR INCHES OF RAIN OVER THE LAST DAY OR
SO, THESE AREAS ARE QUITE SATURATED. WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF HEAVY
RAIN AGAIN TODAY, FLASH FLOODING COULD BE POSSIBLE.

IN ADDITION, A COUPLE OF RIVERS IN NORTHERN NEW JERSEY CONTINUE TO
RUN ABOVE FLOOD STAGE...THE RAMAPO AND PEQUANNOACK.
