Special Weather Statement, NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1222 AM EDT SUN AUG 28 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
HURRICANE IRENE WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK NORTHWARD ALONG THE MID
ATLANTIC COAST THROUGH SUNDAY BEFORE PUSHING INTO THE NEW ENGLAND
STATES. A HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM TO OUR WEST WILL THEN SPREAD ITS
INFLUENCE INTO OUR REGION DURING MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE AND A
PERIOD OF CALMER WEATHER IS EXPECTED THROUGH MUCH OF THE UPCOMING
WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
WE CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE EMBEDDED STRONGER CELLS WITHIN THE
RAIN SHIELD, HOWEVER FOR NOW THE ROTATION SEEN ON RADAR HAS
SCALED BACK. THE TORNADO WATCH WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT AS IS THOUGH
UNTIL 5 AM. STRONGER WINDS HAVE BEEN OCCURRING IN SOME AREAS WHEN
THE RAIN INTENSITY INCREASED AS BETTER MOMENTUM TRANSFER HAS BEEN
ABLE TO OCCUR. THE RAINFALL RATES HAVE BEEN ABOUT 2 INCHES PER
HOUR IN THE HEAVIER BANDED FEATURES. WE ARE MONITORING SIGNIFICANT
3-HOUR PRESSURE RISES TO OUR SOUTH. THIS IS AIDING AN AREA OF
GUSTS TO ABOUT 50 KNOTS ACROSS EASTERN VIRGINIA AND NORTHEASTERN
NORTH CAROLINA IN THE WAKE OF HURRICANE IRENE. THESE PRESSURE
RISES ARE FORECAST TO SHIFT NORTHWARD AND MOVE ACROSS OUR AREA
DURING THE DAY ON SUNDAY. THIS MAY ALLOW FOR EVEN STRONGER GUSTS
ACROSS PORTIONS OF OUR REGION BEHIND THE CENTER OF IRENE AS IT
TRACKS TO OUR NORTHEAST.

THE FORECAST WAS UPDATED TO TWEAK THE HOURLY GRIDS AND ADD IN
THE NEW NHC ADVISORY WIND GRIDS. WE DID HOWEVER MAKE SOME TWEAKS
TO THE WINDS ESPECIALLY OVER LAND AS THE SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE BEEN
LOWER. WE GENERALLY CAPPED THE WIND GUSTS AT 70 KNOTS AT THIS POINT
GIVEN TRENDS, WHICH IS LOWER THAN PREVIOUSLY. THE OTHER HAZARDS THAT
CONTINUE ARE TORRENTIAL RAIN WITH A LOT OF FLOODING OCCURRING. IT
SHOULD BE STRESSED THAT GIVEN THE WET GROUND, IT WILL NOT TAKE AS
MUCH WIND TO DOWN TREES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
WE MAY BE A LITTLE SLOW CLEARING IRENE OUT OF OUR AREA WITH THIS
PACKAGE, BUT IN ANY EVENT WE EXPECT RAIN TO END DURING THE COURSE OF
THE DAY. RATHER ROBUST WINDS ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE SYSTEM ARE
EXPECTED, AND WE DID RAISE OUR MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES SOME FROM
CONTINUITY IN ANTICIPATION OF SOME COMPRESSIONAL HEATING. SUNDAY
NIGHT SHOULD BE DRY WITH DIMINISHING WINDS. CONTINUITY WAS
MAINTAINED ON THE MINIMUM TEMPERATURES.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS IRENE EXITS INTO THE NEW ENGLAND STATES AND EASTERN CANADA ON
MONDAY, AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE AROUND THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES
WILL BEGIN BUILDING EASTWARD. A LIGHT NORTHWESTERLY FLOW WITH AMPLE
SUN IS EXPECTED FOR THE REGION MONDAY. OF NOTE IN THE MID TO UPPER
LEVELS, A WEAK TROUGH WILL APPROACH THE AREA MONDAY AND PASS BY
DURING TUESDAY. THIS WILL SERVE TO GIVE US A LITTLE MORE CLOUD COVER
FOR TUESDAY, BUT OTHERWISE THE QUIET PATTERN CONTINUES. THE SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE EXPANDS ACROSS OUR REGION AND INTO THE NORTHEASTERN
STATES DURING WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AS AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE TAKES
SHAPE OVER THE CENTER OF THE COUNTRY. THE MODELS SHOW HIGH PRESSURE
MOVING OFF THE EAST COAST BY FRIDAY AS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
ORGANIZES OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS STATES. THIS LOW PRESSURE IS
FORECAST TO TRACK INTO SOUTHEASTERN CANADA DURING SATURDAY WITH A
COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO CROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND APPROACH OUR REGION
AT THE END OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD. TEMPERATURES THROUGH THIS
TIMEFRAME WILL BE NEAR NORMAL WITH MAXIMUM TEMPS GENERALLY RANGING
FROM THE UPPER 70S TO THE LOWER 80S. FOR THE MOST PART, HPC GUIDANCE
WAS GENERALLY ACCEPTED AND USED.

&&

.AVIATION /04Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

WE ARE FORECASTING TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS OVERNIGHT AT ALL THE
TAF SITES, WITH WINDS GRADUALLY BACKING FROM EAST NORTHEAST TO NORTH
NORTHWEST. WE CONTINUE TO BACK THEM TO WEST NORTHWEST ON SUNDAY. IFR
CONDITIONS IN RAIN, HEAVY AT TIMES, ARE FORECAST AT ALL SITES. THOSE
IFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO END AROUND DAYBREAK OR SHORTLY
THEREAFTER, ALTHOUGH THE WINDS WILL REMAIN STRONG FOR A GOOD PART OF
THE DAY.

OUTLOOK...
HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO DOMINATE THE WEATHER PATTERN FOR OUR
REGION FROM MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. DRY WEATHER IS FORECAST THROUGH
THIS PERIOD WITH GENERALLY LIGHT WINDS AND VFR CONDITIONS. THE
OVERNIGHT/EARLY MORNING PART OF EACH DAY MAY YIELD POSSIBLE
VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS AS FOG COULD DEVELOP WITH THE MAINLY CLEAR
CONDITIONS AND LIGHT WINDS.

&&

.MARINE...
A HURRICANE WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR ALL ZONES. TROPICAL STORM
FORCE HAVE JUST ARRIVED OVER OUR FAR SOUTHERN WATERS, AND HURRICANE
FORCE WINDS STILL ARE FORECAST. IRENE IS FORECAST TO MOVE TO THE NEW
JERSEY COASTLINE BY DAYBREAK AND THEN LIFT NORTHEAST WITH A ROBUST
WRAP AROUND WIND. WE MAINTAIN OUR SEAS FORECAST OF SEAS PEAKING
AROUND OR A BIT IN EXCESS OF 20 FEET OVER THE ATLANTIC AND 5 TO 9
FEET OVER THE BAY.

THE CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO IMPROVE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY AS
THE SYSTEM MOVES WELL TO OUR NORTH AND THE PRESSURE GRADIENT EASES
SIGNIFICANTLY. THE OFFSHORE WINDS IN THE WAKE OF IRENE SHOULD ALLOW
THE SEAS TO SUBSIDE FAIRLY QUICKLY OVERALL.

OUTLOOK...
HIGH PRESSURE GRADUALLY BUILDS INTO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION AND OUR
COASTAL WATERS DURING MONDAY. FOR THE OCEAN WATERS, WAVE HEIGHTS ARE
EXPECTED TO STAY HIGH AS IRENE PULLS AWAY INTO THE NORTHEAST STATES,
BUT THESE WAVE HEIGHTS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH GOING INTO TUESDAY.
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE MAINLY LESS THAN 15 KNOTS FOR THE COASTAL
WATERS OF DELAWARE AND NEW JERSEY BY MONDAY. WITH HIGH PRESSURE
REMAINING OVER THE AREA THROUGH THURSDAY, WINDS IN THIS RANGE WILL
CONTINUE FOR THE WATERS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
HEAVY AND POSSIBLY RECORD SETTING RAINFALL INTO SUNDAY MAY RESULT
IN MAJOR FLOODING ACROSS THE AREA. THUS FAR LATE TODAY, RAINFALL
MEASUREMENTS FROM SPOTTERS ACROSS THE AREA SHOW THAT ANYWHERE FROM
1 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN HAVE FALLEN ACROSS PORTIONS OF MARYLAND,
DELAWARE, AND SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY. HEAVY RAIN CONTINUES TO SPREAD
NORTHWARD AS THE OUTER BANDS OF IRENE SPIN INTO THE REGION.

THE PW VALUES FORECAST ACROSS THE REGION ARE RATHER IMPRESSIVE
WITH 2.0-2.5 INCHES OVERSPREADING THE REGION TODAY INTO SUNDAY.
IF THE CENTER GETS CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE COAST, SOME GUIDANCE
INDICATES THE PW VALUES INCREASE TO JUST OVER 3.0 INCHES. THIS
AMOUNT OF MOISTURE IN THE ATMOSPHERE WILL LEAD TO EXCESSIVE
RAINFALL RATES AND TOTALS. THIS COMBINED WITH ANY UPSLOPE
ENHANCEMENT AND/OR LOCALLY ENHANCED CONVERGENCE/BANDING WILL ADD
TO THE RAIN RATES. THE INITIAL INFLUX OF THIS HIGHER MOISTURE
CONTENT AIR ALONG WITH THE PRESENCE OF A STATIONARY FRONT WILL LEAD
TO BOUTS OF LOCALLY VERY HEAVY DOWNPOURS WELL BEFORE THE HURRICANE
GETS TO OUR LATITUDE.

SMALLER CREEKS AND STREAMS WILL BE HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO RAPID
FLOODING. THE RARITAN AND SCHUYLKILL RIVERS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO
REACT RATHER QUICKLY AND ALSO ARE HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO FLOODING.
THE DELAWARE, SUSQUEHANNA, RANCOCAS AND PASSAIC RIVERS REACT MORE
SLOWLY, BUT THEY ALSO ARE HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO FLOODING. IN
ADDITION, THE WINDSWEPT RAIN WILL LIKELY PRODUCE URBAN AND POOR
DRAINAGE FLOODING. THE STRONG ONSHORE FLOW COMBINED WITH THE TIDES
WILL TEND TO BACK WATER UP, COMPLICATING FLOODING PROBLEMS. GIVEN
THE QPF FORECAST /6 TO 10 INCHES WITH LOCALLY UP TO 12 INCHES/ AND
THE ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS, THE FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT AND
WE CONTINUE TO CARRY A HEAVY RAIN MENTION IN THE FORECAST.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
THE THREAT OF MODERATE TO SEVERE COASTAL FLOODING REMAINS HIGH OVER
THE WEEKEND AS HURRICANE IRENE IMPACTS OUR REGION. THE SUNDAY
MORNING HIGH TIDE ALONG THE OCEANFRONT RARITAN BAY AND DELAWARE
BAY IS OF MOST CONCERN. HOWEVER, WITH THE STRENGTH OF THE STORM,
COASTAL FLOODING MAY VERY WELL BE AN ISSUE FOR HOURS BEFORE AND
AFTER THE HIGH TIDE OCCURS.

WITH WATER EXPECTED TO BE PUSHED UP DELAWARE BAY, FLOODING IS ALSO A
CONCERN FOR THE TIDAL PORTION OF THE DELAWARE RIVER.

COASTAL FLOODING ISSUES MAY LINGER INTO THE SUNDAY EVENING HIGH
TIDE, ESPECIALLY ALONG THE NORTHERN PART OF THE NEW JERSEY COAST AND
ALONG RARITAN BAY.

A CAVEAT TO THIS IS THE THREAT OVER THE NORTHERN CHESAPEAKE BAY.
IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT WE WILL SEE MINOR TIDAL FLOODING WITH THE
AFTERNOON/EVENING HIGH TIDE TODAY, AND WINDS MAY SHIFT TO
NORTHWEST PRIOR TO THE OVERNIGHT HIGH TIDE. THE GREATEST THREAT TO
OUR PORTION OF THE MARYLAND EASTERN SHORE WOULD BE SOUTH AT TALBOT
AND CAROLINE COUNTIES, WHERE PERHAPS MODERATE TIDAL FLOODING STILL
WILL OCCUR.

&&

.RIP CURRENTS...
DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS ASSOCIATED WITH HURRICANE IRENE ARE
ANTICIPATED THROUGH THE ENTIRE WEEKEND.

&&

.EQUIPMENT...
THE FORT DIX, NEW JERSEY /KDIX/ DOPPLER RADAR IS OUT OF SERVICE
UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
