Special Weather Statement, NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
110 PM EDT WED SEP 7 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER THE EASTERN UNITED STATES WILL DRIFT SLOWLY
NORTHWARD.  THIS FRONT AS WELL AS LOW PRESSURE WHICH IS THE
REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM LEE WILL CONTINUE TO BRING ABUNDANT
MOISTURE TO THE REGION.  THE FRONT AND THE LOW WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN
BY THE END OF THE WEEK AND PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL DECREASE.
ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY FROM THE NORTH MAY ARRIVE IN OUR REGION
LATE SATURDAY NIGHT OR EARLY SUNDAY. A COLD FRONT MAY APPROACH FROM
THE NORTHWEST ON TUESDAY OR TUESDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
UPDATED TO BETTER REFLECT ONGOING PRECIPITATION AND TEMPERATURE
TRENDS. PLUME OF CONVECTION IS SLIGHTLY EAST OF 12Z WRF-NMM
FORECAST POSITION PUTTING THE WESTERN SIDE OF OUR CWA AT MOST RISK
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. WE ARE ALSO REACHING OUR CONVECTIVE TEMP IN THE WARM
SECTOR AND SOME OTHER SHOWERS ARE DEVELOPING THERE.

OVC SKIES BECOME BKN EARLY THIS AFTN AT LEAST ALONG I95 SEWD AND
IT HEATS UP. SHOWERS/SCT TSTMS MAINLY DEL VALLEY EMD WEST WARD.

QPF AMTS GENERALLY UNDER ONE QUARTER INCH E OF I95...BUT ISO 2.5
INCH AMTS POSSIBLE E PA AND NE MD.

SE WINDS G 20 KTS THIS AFTN.

OUR FCST PARTIALLY REFLECTS 06Z/7 SPC TOR RISK BY PUTTING IN GWINDS.
THINK THE BEST CHC OF TOR PRODUCTION IF ANY...IS E MD. PLS FOLLOW
SPC DISCUSSIONS AND ANY SVR/TOR WARNINGS WE MIGHT ISSUE THIS AFTN.
BULK SHEAR IS NOMINAL AND TT ARE POOR BUT LOW LEVEL SHEAR MIGHT BE
THE KEY FOR ANY STG CONVECTION ADJACENT CHES BAY TDY.

RELIED ON THE WARMER GFS MAV TEMPS...PER PARTIAL CLEARING AND
00Z/7 EC MAX TEMP FCST.

PNS'S FOR 3.5 OR HIGHER STP POSTING THIS MORNING AS TIME AVAILS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM THURSDAY/...
FFA CONTD THRU TONIGHT. CONCERN IS REBUILDING OF KI...BECOMING
UNSTABLE ALOFT AND WRINGING OUT REMAINING TROP MOISTURE...ESP NE
NJ WHERE NICE CONFIGURATION FOR ESE INFLOW SUBTLE LIFT TO FORCE
CONVECTION AND EVEN THO LOW TOP...PROBABLY VERY PRODUCTIVE. THE
00Z GFS AND CONSERVATIVE EC QPF CONTS QUITE A GOOD OUTBREAK
TONIGHT. THEREFORE...HAVE IT IN THE FCST. THIS RFALL...COULD
PRODUCE RENEWED SMALL STREAM FLOODING...CERTAINLY STOP ANY
MAINSTEM RECESSIONS OR CONTRIBUTE TO FURTHER INCREASES IN THE FCST
STAGES.

DEFINITELY CONCERNED ABOUT A 3 TO 6 HR PERIOD OF WIDESPREAD 1-2
INCH RAINS NNJ AND ANOTHER .3 TO 1.0 IN E PA TONIGHT.

THREE DAY STORM TOTALS SHOULD THEREFORE BY 12Z THURSDAY BE RANGING
BETWEEN 4 AND 8 INCHES IN NNJ AND 3 AND 6 INCHES NE PA.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL
STORM LEE SHOULD BE LOCATED OVER THE OHIO VALLEY ON THURSDAY. THIS
WILL CONTINUE THE THREAT OF RAIN FOR THE AREA. HOWEVER, THE LOW IS
EXPECTED TO ROTATE WESTWARD DURG THE DAY, SO PRECIP CHCS MAY BE A
BIT LOWER THAN PREV DAYS AND WE COULD JUST BE LOOKING AT MAINLY
AFTN SHWRS/TSTMS. BY THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY, THE UPPER LOW
BEGINS TO WEAKEN AND FILL AND WHILE THERE WILL BE LINGERING PRECIP
CHANCES, THEY SHOULD CONTINUE TO DECREASE. MEANWHILE, HRCN KATIA
WILL MAKE ITS CLOSEST APPROACH TO THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT, BUT
BE WELL OFFSHORE SO THAT THE ONLY AFFECTS SHOULD BE ROUGH SEAS AND
RIP CURRENTS.

A FRONTAL BOUNDARY FROM THE NORTH IS EXPECTED TO DROP INTO OUR
REGION OVER THE WEEKEND. THIS FRONT, COUPLED WITH THE LINGERING
MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY FROM THE PERSISTENT UPR LOW WILL STILL
BRING SOME SHOWERS AND TSTMS TO THE REGION MAINLY IN THE AFTN AND
EVENING.

WK HIGH PRESSURE BUILD IN FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY AND THOSE SHOULD BE
DRY DAYS BEFORE ANOTHER CDFNT APPROACHES TUESDAY NIGHT OR WEDNESDAY.

TEMPERATURES LOOK TO BE IN THE UPPER 70S TO MID 80S EARLY IN THE PD,
THEN MID 70S TO AROUND 80 LATE IN THE PD.

&&

.AVIATION /17Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE 18Z TAFS WILL BRING ALL OUR TERMINALS BACK TO IFR CONDITIONS
BY THIS EVENING WITH THE HIGHEST IMPACTS FROM THE HEAVIEST RAIN
WESTERN AND NORTHERN AIRPORTS. AS FAR AS THE TERMINALS GO, THE
WORST CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST FOR KRDG.

THE NORTH TO SOUTH BAND OF CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY DRIFT
EAST THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING. CONFIDENCE ABOUT HOW
EAST THIS DRIFT GOES IS AVERAGE. WE BRING IT TO THE KPHL TERMINALS
AND NOT TO KACY AND KMIV. ONLY MENTION OF TSRA IS AT KRDG WHERE
CONFIDENCE IS HIGHEST, WE MENTION A CB CLOUD GROUP INTO THE KPHL AREA.

THE ONSHORE FLOW SHOULD BRING AN IFR CIG BACK TO THE TERMINALS.
ALSO THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY FROM ABOUT KPNE TO KBLM SHOULD MOVE
LITTLE AND ACT AS AN ADDITIONAL FOCSU FOR SHOWER DEVELOPMENT TONIGHT.

WE ARE NOT EXPECTING AS MUCH WIDESPREAD SHRA ACTIVITY ON THURSDAY
MORNING AND CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE TO AT LEAST MVFR LEVELS
DURING THE MORNING.

OUTLOOK...
THERE WILL STILL BE SOME LINGERING SHOWERS AND TSTMS THURSDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY, BUT PRECIP CHCS WILL BE LESS THAN
RECENT DAYS. HOWEVER, THERE WILL STILL BE A LOT OF LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE AROUND. SO, EXPECT A LOT OF MVFR AND EVEN IFR WITH
SHOWERS AND ANY TSTMS AND EVEN OUTSIDE OF THOSE TIMES WITH GENERAL
LOW CLOUDS AND FOG. BY LATER THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH DRYING MOVING
IN THAT CONDS SHOULD IMPROVE TO VFR. HOWEVER, WITH THE UPPER LOW
SLOWLY WEAKENING, BUT REMAINING IN PLACE, THERE WILL STILL BE A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE PERIOD.

&&

.MARINE...
SCA CONDS IN PROGRESS. 7 FT SEAS WILL CONT SLOWLY BUILDING THE
NEXT 24 HRS...MAINLY AS SWELL AND WE MAYBE ABLE TO MOVE THE SCA
INTO SCA FOR HAZ SEAS LATE TODAY WHEN G ESE WIND TO NEAR 25 KTS
DIMINISHES.

OUTLOOK THU-SAT...
AN ELY ONSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE THRU THURSDAY.  THE WINDS WILL
THEN BECOME MORE NELY THURSDAY NIGHT AND MORE WLY AND THEN SLY ON
FRIDAY.  HRCN KATIA WILL MAKE ITS CLOSEST APPROACH THURSDAY NIGHT
BEFORE SPEEDING BY ON FRIDAY.  EXPECT SEAS TO STAY ELEVATED THRU
THURS OR FRIDAY IN RESPONSE TO THE ELY WIND THEN THEY WILL DROP OFF
INTO THE WEEKEND.  WIND SPEEDS ARE FCST TO REMAIN BELOW 25 KTS THRU
THE PD.  HOWEVER DUE TO THE ELEVATED SEAS, A SCA SEEMS LIKELY THRU
ABOUT FRIDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
FFA...EXTENDED THROUGH 22Z THU. COORD WITH CTP ON THIS AND WHILE
THERE WILL BE FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS IT WAS DECIDED TO STICK WITH
THE CURRENT HEADLINE AND MAKE MENTION IN THE BODY OF THE WATCH.

EXTENSION IS PRIMARILY FOR NE NJ...MODELS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST
THAT WHILE A DRY SLOT POKES NWD THRU DEL/NJ TODAY...ANOTHER WAA
PULSE SHOVES NWD ALONG THE NJ COAST TONIGHT AND THE GFS I THINK
HAS A HANDLE ON THE POTENCY...WITH SUBSTANTIAL RFALL THIS COMING
WED NIGHT FROM NE NJ THRU LI.

PNS'S ISSUED FOR ALL REPORTS RCD OR TALLIED AFTER 7 PM THIS PAST
TUE EVENING. THIS WILL BE FOR AMTS GREATER THAN 3.5 INCHES ONLY.

MODEL QPF AMTS NW OF THE WARM FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO BE UNDERPLAYED
HERE NEARER THE HIGHER PWAT AND HIGHER INSTABILITY THROUGH THURSDAY.
INCLUSIVE OF THIS IS WARM PROCESS RAINS...TROPICAL INFLUENCE WHICH
WITH SUBTLE LIFT RESULTS IN HIGHER QPF THAN MODELED.

WITH SATURATED SOIL FROM EXCESSIVE PREVIOUS RAINS...AND ALREADY
HIGH STREAM LEVELS...RUNOFF WILL BE FORCED TO FIND ABOVE GROUND
AVENUES.

ADDITIONAL KPHI FLOOD WARNINGS AND STATEMENTS ARE LIKELY THROUGH THE
NEXT 48 HOURS. GRAPHICAL FORECASTS...UPDATED AT LEAST EVERY SIX

TOMORROW AS SWELLS BUILD FURTHER.

LONG PERIOD SWELLS FROM HURRICANE KATIA WILL LIKELY CAUSE DANGEROUS
RIP CURRENT CONDITIONS ALONG THE NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE COASTS
THROUGH FRIDAY EVEN THOUGH THE HURRICANE ITSELF WILL PASS WELL OFFSHORE.

HIGH RISK POTENTIAL CONTS INTO FRIDAY AFTER WHICH...SWELLS
DECREASE RAPIDLY THIS WEEKEND.
