AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
400 AM EDT TUE JUL 31 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
TWO WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS WILL BE MOVING NORTHEAST ON A WARM
FRONT FROM THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST OUT TO THE EAST OF CAPE COD
BETWEEN TODAY AND THURSDAY WITH OUR FORECAST AREA IN A SOMEWHAT
UNSTABLE WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS. EVENTUALLY...WESTERN ATLANTIC HIGH
PRESSURE BECOMES MORE ASSERTIVE WITH ITS SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY
FLOW OF EVEN WARMER TEMPERATURES AND HIGHER HUMIDITY FRIDAY INTO
MONDAY. A WEAK COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE IS POSSIBLE LATER MONDAY OR
TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
THE PATTERN HAS NOT CHANGED MUCH SINCE YESTERDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
REMAINS TO THE EAST WHILE LOW PRESSURE IS BOTH ACROSS THE GREAT
LAKES AND ALSO THE TIDEWATER VA AREA. THE LOW TO THE SOUTH WILL MOVE
NORTH-NORTHEAST TODAY AND PASS OVER THE OUTER OFFSHORE OCEAN WATERS
TONIGHT. THIS LOW ALONG WITH AN UPPER TROUGH AND PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL LEAD TO ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTMS LATE THIS
MORNING AND AFTERNOON. A FEW SHOWERS WILL ALSO BE ACROSS DE EARLY
THIS MORNING. THE SHOWERS/TSTMS WILL MOVE RATHER SLOW...SO SOME
DOWNPOURS ARE POSSIBLE LATER TODAY. HIGHS TODAY WILL BE IN THE LOW
TO MID 80S IN MOST AREAS WITH LIGHT E TO SE WINDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM WEDNESDAY/...
SHOWER/TSTM ACTIVITY FROM TODAY WILL DIMINISH EARLY TONIGHT. AREAS
OF LOW CLOUDS AND POSSIBLE FOG MAY DEVELOP OVERNIGHT. IT WILL REMAIN
MILD AND HUMID WITH LOWS IN THE LOW 60S NORTH...AND MID 60S TO LOW
70S ELSEWHERE. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT FROM THE SE OR S.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
500 MB: TROUGHING AXISED N-S ALONG THE APPALACHIANS WARMS - FLATTENS
FRIDAY AS RIDGING DEVELOPS IN THE NE USA AHEAD OF SHORT WAVES MOVING
EAST FROM THE NRN PLAINS SATURDAY TO THE THROUGH EASTERN GREAT
LAKES SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

TEMPS: ABOVE NORMAL THROUGHOUT...AVG'G 5 TO POSSIBLY 10 DEGS ABOVE
NORMAL FRI-MON AS ANOTHER HEAT WAVE DEVELOPS THURSDAY OR FRIDAY
AND POSSIBLY LASTS INTO AT LEAST EARLY NEXT WEEK..WITH ONLY
THUNDERSTORMS OR THEIR CLOUD DEBRIS INTERRUPTING THE SUCCESSION OF
90 PLUS DAYS.

HAZARDS: HEAT ADVY OR WARNING POTENTIAL FOR THE I95 URBAN CORRIDOR
SOMETIME BETWEEN SATURDAY AND MONDAY.

SVR: SMALL POTENTIAL PA/NJ WEDNESDAY...AGAIN FRIDAY IN THE POCONOS...
AND A LARGER POTENTIAL FOR AN AREA WIDE EVENT CENTERED ON MONDAY.
THIS LATTER RISK IS ASSOCIATED WITH A POSSIBLE COLD FRONT WHICH WILL
EFFECTIVELY BE A LOWER HUMIDITY BOUNDARY PUSHING SEWD IN RESPONSE
TO TROUGHING THE GREAT LAKES REGION.

THE DAILIES BELOW...

WEDNESDAY...PWAT 1.7 INCHES WITH TT 48-52. WEAK SHEAR...SLOW EWD
MOVING STEERING FLOW OF 1400J ML CAPE MIGHT PRODUCE A COUPLE OF SVR
WET MICROBURSTS IN THE AFTN AND EVENING IN E PA/NJ.  SMALL SWATHS FF
POTENTIAL WITH ISOLATED 2 INCH AMTS IN 1HR.

THURSDAY...PWAT LOWERS A BIT TO 1.4 TO 1.5 INCHES WITH ML CAPE 1500J
MAINLY SE 2/3RDS FA. TT NEAR 48. SLOW SE MVG HEAVY TSTMS W POSSIBLE
ISO SVR NJ DELMARVA? ONE QUESTION... IS THE MOISTURE ALOFT ENOUGH FOR
THE 1000-500MB THICKNESS. SEEMS TO BE LESS POTENTIAL FOR SVR THIS
DAY THAN ON WEDNESDAY BUT LOW TOP HEAVY RAIN PRODUCERS ARE POSSIBLE
IN I95 SEWD OF NJ THRU DE/E MD.

HEAT WAVE LIKELY TO BEGIN MOST OF I95 CORRIDOR WESTWARD EXCLUDING
THE POCONOS AND OF COURSE THE NEAREST COUPLE OF MILES ADJACENT
BODIES OF WATER.

FRIDAY...PWAT 1.3 INCHES BUT MAY INCREASE TO 1.5 LATE IN THE DAY.
LOWER PWAT MAY PERMIT GREATER SURFACE HEATING AND ML CAPE 1600J. TT
NW EDGE 48 TO 52 BUT KI DOWN.  POSSIBLE ISO STRONG EWD MOVING STORM
NW EDGE OF OUR FORECAST LATE IN THE DAY OR EVENING? LOOKS LIKE ARD 95F
FOR THE HIGH...GENERALLY 2 TO 4 DEGS BELOW THE RECORD.

SATURDAY...PWAT 1.6  WITH ML CAPE 1600J. MODEL DISAGREEMENT.
TT NEAR 48 AND STRONGER INSTAB AXIS MOVING EWD FOR LATE SVR?
LOOKS LIKE NEAR 95F.

SUNDAY...PWAT 1.6 WITH ML CAPE 1800J.  TT 47. MARGINAL SHEAR IN E PA
LATE FOR ORGANIZATION LATE DAY OR NIGHT. MOST TSTM ACTION MAY BE
DELMARVA AFTN AND THEN SHIFT INTO NRN PA AND NW NJ FOR EVENING-
NIGHTTIME HOURS. LOOKS LIKE NEAR 95F.

MONDAY...PWAT NEAR 2.0 WITH ML CAPE 2500J. TT 47 MARGINAL SHEAR
PROJECTED. SOLID INSTABILITY AXIS AHD OF COOL FRONT. ECMWF SEEMS
TO BE A LITTLE MORE ROBUST AND FASTER WITH THE COOL FRONT AND
BEGINNING OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS. CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY ON
FRONTAL PLACEMENT THOUGH AM THINKING THE ECMWF IS TOO FAST AND
IF SO...MONDAY WOULD BE THE HOTTEST DAY INCLUDING HEAT INDEX.
FOR NOW...NOT HIGHLIGHTING 95F AND NEAR 105 HI BUT ITS A
LOW PROBABILITY.

TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY...BEYOND OUR FCST PERIOD...BUT...HEATWAVE IF NOT
INTERRUPTED BY SHOWERS AND STORMS SUNDAY/MONDAY WOULD POSSIBLY
CONTINUE BOTH THESE DAYS.

&&
