AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
529 AM EDT THU AUG 18 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WELL OFF TO THE EAST WILL CONTINUE TO
CIRCULATE MORE HUMID AIR ACROSS THE AREA TODAY. AN UPPER TROUGH AND
WEAK FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST TODAY AND LINGER ACROSS THE
REGION THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. A WEAK AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD
IN SATURDAY...BUT THEN GET REPLACED BY ANOTHER LOW AND FRONT WHICH
WILL BE ACROSS THE AREA SUNDAY. MORE HIGH PRESSURE WILL ARRIVE EARLY
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
62DB TO 16.2 AT 0922Z ...CLOSE FOR SVR. SUSPECT MAY BE ICE IN THE
UPDRAFT W OF PHL. SEEING SPOT 32-35KT AT 2000FT BUT THINK
DECOUPLED FOR THE MOST PART SO NO WARNING ATTM.

NO CHANGE IN FORECAST PHILOSOPHY.

AN INSTABILITY BURST IS DEVELOPING WITH KI BURGEONING ON LOW LVL
WAA PER 00Z/18 PIT AND IAD SOUNDINGS. PRODUCTIVE AS PWATS INCREASE
TO 1.2 INCHES BY DAYBREAK IN PHL. LIGHTNING OCCURRING ALONG WITH
VIL TO 38. THIS IS HEADING FOR N 1/2 NJ THIS MORNING.

WHILE MOST OF THE SHOWERS IN OUR CWA BY 12Z ALONG AND W OF THE
DELAWARE SHOULD BE LESS THAN .10...WILL NOT BE SURPRISED AT SMALL
TRACK .3 TO .5 INCHERS IN THE KRDG-KPHL AREA.

ONCE THIS BAND MOVES OFF THE COAST OF NNJ DURING FORENOON OR
MIDDAY...AIRMASS HEATS UP DURING A LULL IN POPS /NOT EASILY FCST/ AND
BLV CONVECTION REFIRES IN E PA MID AFTN WITH HEAVY RAINFALL AND
POSSIBLE SMALL HAILERS. IF WE GET SOME MODEST ROTATION CAN SEE
LARGE HAILER AND GUST 40 KTS BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE BULK SHEAR
AVBL FOR ROTATING STORM AND ASSTD STRONG UPDRAFTS. LIGHTNING
STRIKES COULD BE A PROBLEM THIS AFTN WITH HAIL POTENTIAL FLAGGING.

BASIN QPF PROBABLY VARIABLE .05 TO .25 WITH ISOLATED 2 INCH
AMTS...MOST OF IT OCCURRING IN AN HR.

POPS ARE LOWER IN DEL/SE NJ WHERE SEEMS TO BE LESS INSTABILITY
ALOFT.

FWIW: FOR THOSE WHO USE THE NCEP MAG WEB SITE...THERE IS A
PROBLEM IN ITS READ OF QPF. THE 00Z/18 NAM HAS 6 HR .11 VCNTY RDG
ENDING 12Z/18 YET THE NCEP MAG SITE FOR THE GFS HAS NIL IN E PA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/...
THIS IS A LOW CONFIDENCE FCST BUT AM BANKING ON AN APPROACHING
SHORT WAVE TO REDEVELOP HEAVY CONVECTION TWD MORNING NEAR THE
MASON DIXON LINE. SLOW MOVERS WOULD AGAIN MEAN HEAVY CONVECTION.
IF THIS DEVELOPS...THEN FF WOULD BE POSSIBLE BUT AGAIN LOW
CONFIDENCE SINCE MODEL SOLUTIONS ARE DIVERSE.

WE DO NOTE DECENT SREF PROBS OF QUARTER INCH AMTS. MODELS TEND TO
UNDERDO QPF AMTS ASSTD WITH THUNDER AND SO AM CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT
MIGHT BE COMING FRIDAY MORNING DOWN TOWARD PHL/ILG.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SLOWLY PROGRESSING UPPER FEATURES WILL BE ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE
EXTENDED PERIOD. ONE SUCH UPPER TROUGH AND SURFACE FRONT WILL AFFECT
THE AREA FRI-FRI NIGHT. SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTMS WILL ACCOMPANY THE
SYSTEM. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS AND ALREADY WET GROUNDS WILL RESULT IN
THE POSSIBILITY FOR SOME FLASH FLOODING FRI-FRI EVENING.

WEAK HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE AREA SAT WILL PRODUCE LESS-NUMEROUS
SHOWERS/TSTMS BUT STILL ISOLATED ACTIVITY POSSIBLE DURING THE
AFTERNOON.

A SECOND FRONT AND UPPER TROUGH WILL BRING A RENEWED THREAT FOR
SHOWERS/TSTMS SUN-MON. POPS ARE MOSTLY IN THE CHC RANGE FOR
NOW...WHICH IS SIMILAR TO THE EARLIER FCST.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BEHIND A COLD FRONT FOR TUE AND WED WITH
FAIR WEATHER AND COOLER TEMPERATURES EXPECTED.

&&

.AVIATION /10Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

THROUGH 12Z...VFR CIGS AOA 7000. BRIEF IFR CONDS IN SCT SHOWERS/ISO
THUNDERSTORMS VCNTY KRDG/KABE ARRIVING NEAR KPHL/KILG/KPNE ARD 11Z.

AFTER 12Z...VFR CIGS WITH SCT BRIEF IFR CONDS IN SHOWERS/HEAVY TSTMS.
LOW PROB SMALL HAIL IN THE AFTERNOON.

TONIGHT...VFR CIGS WITH MVFR OR IFR CIGS DEVELOPING VCNTY KMPO AND
KABE AFTER 06Z. ALSO BRIEF IFR CONDS IN SCT HEAVY SHOWERS AND TSTMS.

OUTLOOK...
UNSETTLED CONDITIONS IN THE OUTLOOK PERIOD WITH MOSTLY VFR
CONDITIONS BUT SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTMS WITH LOCALLY POORER
CONDITIONS FRI-SUN. PATCHY FOG MAY OCCUR DURING THE OVERNIGHT
PERIODS WITH MVFR/IFR POSSIBLE.

&&

.MARINE...
NO HEADLINES THROUGH TONIGHT. MAIN HAZARD IS FROM SCT THUNDERSTORMS
MIDDAY TODAY INTO TONIGHT...MAINLY NJ COASTAL WATERS. SE SWELL OF
1-2 FT AND AN 8 SEC PERIOD CONTG ON THE ATLC WATERS.

OUTLOOK...
SCA CONDITIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. SCATTERED
SHOWERS/TSTMS MAY BRING LOCALLY HAZARDOUS WINDS/SEAS THE NEXT FEW
DAYS. A WEAK FRONT WILL LINGER ACROSS THE WATERS FRI-FRI NIGHT WHICH
WILL FOCUS ANY ACTIVITY. SHOWERS/TSTMS WILL BE LESS NUMEROUS SAT AS
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN. ANOTHER FRONT AND UPPER TROUGH WILL
BRING MORE TSTMS SUN-SUN NIGHT. OCEAN SEAS MOSTLY 2-4 FT THROUGH THE
PERIOD.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
VERY WET GROUND AND IN THE I95 CORRIDOR WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED
FOR POSSIBLE FFA AND AT LEAST MINOR FLOOD EPISODES THE NEXT SEVERAL
DAYS DUE TO SLOW MOVING /15-20 KT/ DECENT CONVECTION WITH HIGH TT
AND KI'S AROUND 35. MLCAPE OVER 1000J EA AFTERNOON. WONT BE
SURPRISED AT RADAR CONTAMINATION WITH SOME SMALL HAIL THIS
AFTERNOON.

HPC AND 00Z/18 ECMWF QPF RESTRAINED AN FFA ISSUANCE FOR TODAY THRU
FRIDAY...INSTEAD RESERVING A POSSIBLE FFA ISSUANCE TIL LATER TODAY
WHEN WE ARE MORE CERTAIN OF ORGANIZED HEAVY CONVECTION OVER THE
ANTECEDENTLY WET GROUNDS NEAR THE I95 CORRIDOR.

WE HAVE CONSULTED WITH HPC AND OKX AND ARE READY TO ISSUE ONCE WE
ARE BIT MORE CERTAIN.

HWO ALREADY HAS THE RISK FOR AN FFA AND AM CONCERNED ABOUT A
SIGNIFICANT RFALL EVENT FROM 08Z FRI-02Z SATURDAY KILG-KPHL
POSSIBLY UP THE I95 CORRIDOR.

WILL UPDATE FLW INFO DURING AT 4AM FOR S NJ. TAKING A LONG LONG
TIME TO EMPTY THE RIVER FROM WHAT WAS A VERY SIGNIFICANT RAIN/FLOOD
EPISODE IN THIS PTN OF SNJ.
