AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
202 PM EDT SAT AUG 4 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED EAST OF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST WILL REMAIN
NEARLY STATIONARY THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY...BEFORE MOVING EAST. A COLD
FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION LATE SUNDAY...THEN CROSS THE AREA
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. THE FRONT MAY STALL NEARBY AS WEAK
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS EAST FROM THE OHIO VALLEY. A COLD FRONT WILL
CROSS THE AREA LATE WEDNESDAY. YET ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH
THE REGION LATE NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
THE 12Z RAOBS FROM STERLING, VA AND UPTON, NY INDICATE PLENTY OF
INSTABILITY IN PLACE ALONG WITH A RATHER MOIST PROFILE ESPECIALLY
IN THE LOWER LEVELS. THERE IS DRIER AIR IN THE MID LEVELS, AND THE
OVERALL PROFILES LOOK SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY. SINCE THE STEERING
FLOW IS LIGHT ONCE AGAIN, SEA OR BAY BREEZES, TERRAIN AND THE
OVERALL SOUTH/SOUTHEAST LOW-LEVEL FLOW SHOULD BE THE MAIN TRIGGERS
FOR ANY CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. ISOLATED CONVECTION IS ONGOING
ACROSS PARTS OF THE REGION. THE CELLS ARE TENDING TO PULSE UP WITH
NEW DEVELOPMENT OCCURRING ON OUTFLOWS. THE OVERALL COVERAGE LOOKS
LIMITED, THEREFORE WILL CONTINUE WITH SLIGHT CHC POPS FOR ISOLATED
ACTIVITY FOR NOW. THE MORE ORGANIZED CONVECTION IS IN THE
HARRISBURG, PA AREA AS OF 18Z AND THIS MAY MOVE INTO BERKS COUNTY.
GIVEN THE MAGNITUDE OF THE INSTABILITY AND THE POTENTIAL ONCE
AGAIN OF LOCALLY FOCUSED LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE, UPDRAFTS WILL BE
EFFICIENT HOWEVER THE LIGHT FLOW WILL RESULT IN LOCALIZED
DOWNBURSTS AS STORMS PULSE AND COLLAPSE. THE TPHL RADAR IMAGERY HAS
BEEN SHOWING THE DOWNBURST/OUTFLOW WINDS WELL IN THE PHILADELPHIA
METRO AREA. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WILL ALSO OCCUR GIVEN THE PW VALUES
AROUND 1.8 INCHES. JUST LIKE YESTERDAY, STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF
RAPID DEVELOPMENT.

AS OF NOW, NO MAJOR CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE HIGHS. THE DEW
POINTS HAVE LOWERED A BIT ACROSS SOME AREAS WITH CONTINUED
HEATING. HEAT INDICES THOUGH WILL APPROACH 100 DEGREES FOR SOME
LOCALES FOR A TIME THIS AFTERNOON. SINCE WE HAVE EXPERIENCED
SEVERAL HEAT WAVES THIS SUMMER, WE ARE NOW IN AUGUST AND MET
CRITERIA SHOULD NOT BE WIDESPREAD, NO HEAT RELATED HEADLINES ARE
ANTICIPATED FOR TODAY BUT IT WILL BE ANOTHER HOT AND HUMID DAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM SUNDAY/...
DRY WX OVERNIGHT AS ANY EVE CONVECTION DISSIPATES.  THEN ANOTHER
WARM AND HUMID NIGHT IS IN STORE.  A VERY ROBUST LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
WILL BEGIN ADVANCING EWD ACRS CANADA AND BY DAYBREAK, A CDFNT WILL
BE ACRS THE OH VLY.  MOST OF THE GUID KEEPS ANY SHOWERS OR TSRA WELL
TO THE W THRU THE PD, BUT THERE SOME GUID DOES INDICATE THAT THERE
COULD BE LOW POPS TO THE W BY DAYBREAK.  FOR NOW, WILL MAINTAIN SCHC.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT LOOK TO BE THE MOST ACTIVE TIME DURING THE
LONG TERM...WITH AN INCREASING ZONAL MID LEVEL FLOW BRINGING FRONTS
EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS THROUGH THE END OF NEXT WEEK. THIS WOULD
SUPPORT TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL FOR MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WEEK.

THERE IS SOME INDICATION THAT A WEAK WARM FRONT MAY TRY TO MOVE
NORTH THROUGH THE LEHIGH VALLEY...SOUTHERN POCONOS AND NORTHWEST NEW
JERSEY EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. THIS WOULD HAVE THE EFFECT OF KEEPING
LOW CLOUDS IN A BIT LONGER SUNDAY MORNING IN THESE AREAS THAN
FURTHER SOUTH. THERE COULD ALSO BE SOME ELEVATED CONVECTION WITH THE
WARM FRONT.

AFTER THIS...THE ENTIRE AREA WILL BE IN THE WARM SECTOR AHEAD OF THE
SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT. THE MID LEVEL SHORT WAVING APPROACHING FROM
THE GREAT LAKES APPEARS TO SLOW SUNDAY AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY
EVENING. THE SLOWER TIMING WOULD SLOW THE TIMING OF THE SURFACE
FRONT AS THE BULK OF THE MID LEVEL SUPPORT STARTS TO SHEAR OUT TO
THE NORTHEAST.

BASED ON THE ABOVE...THE CONVECTIVE COVERAGE WAS SLOWED SUNDAY
AFTERNOON COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. THE BEST COVERAGE WILL
OCCUR ACROSS NORTHWEST AREAS IN THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON...WHILE
MUCH OF SOUTHEAST NEW JERSEY AND CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN DELAWARE COULD
BE DRY MUCH OF THE DAY. INSTABILITY SHOULD BE AT LEAST MARGINAL...
WITH CLOUD COVER HAVING SOME IMPACT IN THE MORNING.

WHILE THE POTENTIAL FOR DEEP CONVECTION CERTAINLY EXISTS...THERE IS
SOME QUESTION WHICH FORM IT WILL TAKE. MODIFIED MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW
DECENT INSTABILITY (WITH MEAN LAYER CAPE VALUES HIGHEST NORTHWEST OF
PHILADELPHIA). DRY MID LEVELS SUGGEST GUSTY WINDS WITH CELLS THAT
DEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. WHILE MID LEVEL
LAPSE RATES ARE FAIRLY WEAK...THE DECENT MEAN LAYER CAPE VALUES
SUGGEST STRONG ENOUGH UPDRAFTS FOR SMALL HAIL.

BULK SHEAR DOES NOT INCREASE ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS UNTIL LATE
AFTERNOON. BY THAT TIME...THE COMBINATION OF SHEAR AND INSTABILITY
COULD LEAD TO ORGANIZE CONVECTION...MOST LIKELY TAKING THE FORM OF
SMALL LINE AND BOW SEGMENTS. IN THESE STRUCTURES...GUSTY WINDS WOULD
BE MOST LIKELY.

850 MB TEMPERATURES CAN SUPPORT HIGHS IN THE LOWER 90S OUTSIDE OF
THE WATER AND THE TERRAIN. CLOUDINESS IN THE MORNING COULD INHIBIT
THIS A BIT...AND HIGHS WERE GENERALLY A BLEND OF MOS NUMBERS AND THE
PREVIOUS FORECAST. IN ADDITION...HEATING WILL ALLOW WINDS TO MIX
DURING THE AFTERNOON AS A LOW LEVEL JET PASSES. WIND GUSTS TO 30 MPH
ARE POSSIBLE IN THE AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY DURING MAXIMUM HEATING.

THE BEST CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL COULD END UP BEING SUNDAY EVENING...AS
THE COMBINATION OF SHEAR AND REMAINING INSTABILITY SUPPORTS
STRUCTURES THAT SUPPORT GUSTY WINDS. IN ADDITION...PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES OVER 2 INCHES RAISES THE SPECTER OF FLASH FLOODING. THE
POTENTIAL IS DETAILED IN THE HYDROLOGY SECTION BELOW. ALL AREAS
SHOULD SEE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY NIGHT AHEAD OF THE SLOW
MOVING COLD FRONT.

THE AIRMASS CHANGE BEHIND THE FRONT SHOULD AFFECT NORTHWEST AREAS
AFTER MIDNIGHT SUNDAY NIGHT...AND STABILITY SHOULD INCREASE AS THE
NIGHT GOES ON. FURTHER SOUTHEAST...THE AIRMASS CHANGE PROBABLY WAITS
FOR MONDAY MORNING...SO MARGINAL INSTABILITY SUPPORTS THUNDER FOR
MUCH OF THE NIGHT. LOWS PROBABLY END UP CLOSER TO THE MOS BLEND AS
THE AIRMASS CHANGE IS SLOW AT BEST FOR MUCH OF THE AREA.

THERE IS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF SPREAD IN THE MODEL SUITE
CONCERNING THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE MONDAY. THE 0000 UTC NAM IS BY
ITSELF KEEPING THE FRONT FROM EXITING CENTRAL ZONES (POSSIBLY UNTIL
SOMETIME TUESDAY). THIS IS DESPITE THE FACT THAT MOST SHORT TERM
MODELS HAVE SIMILAR TIMING ABOVE THE SURFACE. FOR THIS FORECAST...
THE 0000 UTC NAM WAS LARGELY IGNORED BECAUSE OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE
SLUGGISHNESS WITH THE FRONT.

WITH THIS IN MIND...THE POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WAS
RETAINED FOR ROUGHLY THE SOUTHERN ONE-HALF TO ONE-THIRD OF THE AREA.
FURTHER NORTH...THE AIRMASS SHOULD BE SUFFICIENTLY STABLE TO
PRECLUDE CONVECTION. FURTHER SOUTH...THERE IS SOME INDICATION THAT
THERE COULD BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY...COMBINED WITH MARGINAL (AND
DECREASING) BULK SHEAR FOR POSSIBLE ORGANIZATION MONDAY AFTERNOON.

THE AIRMASS WILL BE IN TRANSITION MONDAY...AS THE LOWER PORTION OF
THE COLUMN COOLS SLOWLY. BASED ON THIS...HIGHS WERE MAINLY BASED ON
THE MOS BLEND.

A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS WAS RETAINED FOR SOUTHERNMOST AREAS
MONDAY NIGHT AS RESIDUAL INSTABILITY WANES. OTHERWISE...MONDAY NIGHT
LOOKS DRY. AT THIS POINT...PATCHY FOG AND RADIATIONAL COOLING LOOK
UNLIKELY IN THE TRANSITIONING AIRMASS. THE STALLING OR STALLED FRONT
COULD ACT AS A FOCUS FOR CONVECTION TUESDAY AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY
SOUTH OF A KILG-KACY LINE. MODIFIED MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW DECENT MEAN
LAYER CAPES...WHICH COULD SUPPORT STRONG UPDRAFTS. SHEAR MAY BE
LACKING...BUT A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WAS RETAINED.

MID LEVEL TROUGHING APPROACHING FROM THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES COULD
PROVIDE ENOUGH COOLING IN THE MID LEVELS TO ALLOW WIDELY SCATTERED
CONVECTION TO DEVELOP. THE LIMITING FACTOR HERE COULD BE A FOCUS.
THERE IS ENOUGH MODEL SPREAD FOR THE END OF THE WEEK CONCERNING THE
EVOLUTION OF THE MID LEVEL PATTERN TO KEEP THE CURRENT FORECAST FOR
THAT TIME LARGELY INTACT.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

A RATHER WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS IS ONCE AGAIN HELPING TO FUEL MAINLY
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE REGION. THIS IS EXPECTED TO BE THE
CASE THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING, HOWEVER GIVEN THE LIMITED COVERAGE
EXPECTED NO MENTION WAS GENERALLY INCLUDED. THE EXCEPTION IS KILG,
KPHL, AND KPNE AS A VCSH WAS CARRIED INTO THE EVENING AS STORMS HAVE
BEEN INITIATING AROUND THESE TERMINALS. THE CONVECTION IS TOSSING
OUT RAIN COOLED OUTFLOW WINDS, THEREFORE IF THESE NEAR A TERMINAL
THEN A WIND SHIFT AND ALSO GUSTINESS CAN OCCUR. WE WILL CONTINUE TO
MONITOR RADAR TRENDS AND ISSUE AMENDMENTS AS NEEDED. OTHERWISE, VFR
THROUGH THE EVENING WITH A SOUTH OR SOUTHEAST WIND UP TO 10 KNOTS.

FOR TONIGHT, ANY CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE IN THE EVENING
WITH A RATHER SMALL CHANCE OF A SHOWER OR STORM OVERNIGHT MAINLY
NORTH AND WEST OF THE KPHL METRO AREA. THE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE
LIGHT FROM THE SOUTH. THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE THEM BECOMES THE
POTENTIAL FOR STRATUS AND FOG TO REDEVELOP OVERNIGHT. THE LOW LEVELS
WILL REMAIN RATHER MOIST AND LOCAL RAINFALL DURING THE DAY WILL HELP
TO ENHANCE THIS. THE FLOW ABOVE THE SURFACE IS FORECAST TO INCREASE
SOME DURING THE NIGHT, HOWEVER IT IS NOT COMPLETELY CLEAR IF THIS
COUNTERACTS ANY STRATUS DEVELOPMENT. BASED ON THE SOUNDINGS, WE DID
BRING IN SOME STRATUS AND LIGHT FOG OVERNIGHT AND CARRIED IT UNTIL
ABOUT 13Z SUNDAY. IT APPEARS THAT A BETTER CHANCE FOR FOG AND
STRATUS IS THE FARTHER NORTH ONE GOES /TOWARD THE KNYC AREA/. DUE TO
LOWER CONFIDENCE ON HOW THIS PLAYS OUT, WE DID NOT GO ANY LOWER THAN
MVFR AT THIS TIME.

FOR SUNDAY, A SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL INCREASE AHEAD OF A COLD
FRONT. ANY STRATUS/FOG SHOULD MIX OUT EARLY AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
TIGHTENS AND ALLOWS THE WINDS TO INCREASE. AS MIXING BECOMES DEEPER,
WINDS SHOULD GUST TO AROUND 20 KNOTS FROM LATE MORNING ON. THE
AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT WILL TRIGGER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
FROM THE GREAT LAKES TO THE OHIO VALLEY. IT APPEARS LITTLE TO NO
DEVELOPMENT OCCURS IN OUR AREA PRIOR TO 18Z. THE MAJORITY OF OUR
AREA MAY REMAIN DRY DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS, WITH KRDG AND KABE
HAVING AN INCREASING CHANCE BY LATE AFTERNOON. IF STORMS DO DEVELOP
OR ARRIVE DURING THE AFTERNOON, SOME COULD PRODUCE LOCALLY GUSTY
WINDS. FOR NOW, HELD OFF ON INCLUDING A MENTION DUE TO A LATER
TIMING.

OUTLOOK...
SUNDAY NIGHT...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED...WITH
PATCHY MVFR CONDITIONS WITH THE STORMS. OUTSIDE OF THE SHOWERS AND
STORMS...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED.

MONDAY...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. DEPENDING ON THE POSITION OF A
COLD FRONT...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE...MAINLY SE OF
KPHL.

TUESDAY...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE
POSSIBLE SOUTH OF KPHL.

WEDNESDAY...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WITH SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE...MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON.

&&

.MARINE...
HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS OFF THE ATLC COAST AND THINGS ARE RELATIVELY
QUIET ON THE AREA WATERS.  EXPECT A SE TO S WIND WITH SPEEDS IN THE
10-15 KT RANGE.  SCA CONDS ARE NOT EXPECTED THRU THE PD.

OUTLOOK...
THE TIGHTENING GRADIENT BETWEEN THE EXITING SURFACE HIGH TO THE EAST
AND THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT COULD RESULT IN SMALL CRAFT WINDS
DEVELOPING AS EARLY AS SUNDAY AFTERNOON. MODEL SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THE
BEST TIMING FOR SMALL CRAFT WINDS SHOULD BE LATER SUNDAY AFTERNOON
INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING (2000 UTC SUNDAY THROUGH 0900 UTC MONDAY).

MODEL SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THAT 30 TO 35 KNOTS OF WIND WILL BE
AVAILABLE AT THE TOP OF THE INVERSION AS A LOW LEVEL JET PASSES
SUNDAY EVENING. THIS WOULD SUGGEST A LOW PROBABILITY OF GALE FORCE
SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WIND GUSTS. THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WIND DIRECTION
DOES NOT TYPICALLY SUPPORT GALE FORCE GUSTS...ESPECIALLY IN THE
SUMMER...SO WIND GUSTS WERE CAPPED AT 30 KNOTS FOR NOW.

THE INCREASING SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FETCH SHOULD ALLOW SEAS TO BUILD
TO 5 FEET ON THE OCEAN...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHERN SECTIONS SUNDAY
EVENING INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. AT THIS POINT...THIS IS IN LINE WITH THE
LATEST WAVEWATCH OUTPUT...WHICH SEEMS REASONABLE GIVEN THE WIND
DIRECTION. SINCE THIS IS MAINLY A MID THIRD INTO FOURTH PERIOD
EVENT...WE HELD OFF ON THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY EARLY THIS MORNING.

THERE IS SOME MODEL SPREAD WITH THE TIMING OF THE COLD FRONTAL
PASSAGE...BUT MOST MODEL SUPPORT WINDS DROPPING BELOW SMALL CRAFT
LEVELS FOR MONDAY. TIMING OF SEAS ON THE OCEAN COULD BE MORE
PROBLEMATIC...AS THE SOUTHERLY SWELL TAKES TIME TO SORT ITSELF OUT.
IT IS POSSIBLE SEAS COULD REMAIN ABOVE 5 FEET INTO MONDAY MORNING.

AFTER THIS...WINDS AND SEAS LOOK TO REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT LEVELS
MONDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY. THERE IS SOME INDICATION (BASED
MAINLY ON MODEL SOUNDINGS) THAT WINDS IN THE SOUTHWEST FLOW COULD
GUST TO NEAR SMALL CRAFT LEVELS ON THE OCEAN WEDNESDAY EVENING.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES REACH 2.25 INCHES SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING (ESPECIALLY OVER NEW JERSEY...WHICH IS GREATER THAN TWO
STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL). THIS ALONE RAISES THE THREAT FOR
FLASH FLOODING. BASED ON THE MID LEVEL FLOW...THE STORM MOTION
SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO MITIGATE AT LEAST SOME OF THE FLASH FLOOD
THREAT FROM SLOW MOVING STORMS.

HOWEVER...TRAINING CELLS COULD BE AN ISSUES...ESPECIALLY IF CELLS
WITH VERY HEAVY RAIN DEVELOP AHEAD OF MORE ORGANIZED CONVECTIVE
STRUCTURES. ONE VULNERABLE AREA WOULD BE ACROSS A PORTION OF THE
DELAWARE VALLEY AND LEHIGH VALLEY...WHERE ONE HOUR FLASH FLOOD
VALUES ARE AS LOW AS 1.60 INCHES.

THE OTHER...LARGER VULNERABLE AREA WOULD BE NORTH CENTRAL AND
NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY. IN THIS AREA...ONE HOUR FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE
NUMBERS ARE GENERALLY BETWEEN 1.50 AND 2.00 INCHES. MORE ORGANIZED
CONVECTION WOULD PROBABLY AFFECT THIS AREA FIRST SUNDAY AFTERNOON...
SO IT IT PROBABLY THE MOST VULNERABLE FOR FLASH FLOODING. IT IS TOO
EARLY FOR FLASH FLOOD HEADLINES...BUT THE THREAT WILL BE OUTLINED IN
THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.
