AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1248 PM EDT THU AUG 9 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY MOVE TOWARD OUR AREA TODAY AND
TONIGHT. AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE HOWEVER WILL THEN MOVE ACROSS THE
GREAT LAKES REGION AND INTO SOUTHEASTERN CANADA FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY. AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL SLIDE ACROSS OUR REGION
SATURDAY, FOLLOWED BY WEAK HIGH PRESSURE SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.
THE NEXT COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST
WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
A WEAK MID LEVEL IMPULSE, SOME H8 THETA E ADVECTION AND
INSTABILITY WITH DIMINISHING CIN WERE ENOUGH TO TRIGGER ISOLATED
CONVECTION FROM W OF MPO TO NEAR IAD LATE THIS MORNING. THE THETA
E ADVECTION SEEMS PROGGED MAINLY FOR OUR NORTHERN AND WESTERN
ZONES THIS AFTERNOON. THE IMPULSE SHOULD CLEAR US TO OUR SOUTHEAST
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND PUT US INTO A REGION OF NVA. ALSO, THERE
WASN'T A LOT OF SHEAR AROUND, SO WE WEREN'T REALLY ENTHUSIASTIC
ABOUT INGREDIENTS COMING TOGETHER FOR MORE THAN SOME POP-UP STORMS.
ON THE OTHER HAND, THE THETA E ADVECTION AND INSTABILITY ARE REAL;
THE IMPULSE CAN ACT ON INSTABILITY AND AVAILABLE MOISTURE FOR AT
LEAST A WHILE DOWN SOUTH AND SOME MODERATE BULK SHEAR WILL BE ON
OUR NORTHWESTERN DOORSTEP BY 00Z. WE ARE MAINTAINING THE CHANCE TO
SLIGHT CHANCE AFTERNOON POPS PUSHING FROM NORTHWEST TO AROUND THE
I-95 CORRIDOR, AND WE ARE ADDING SOME SLIGHT CHANCE POPS SOUTH
WITH THE IMPULSE.

REGARDING TEMPERATURES, THE MORNING SOUNDINGS FROM IAD, APG AND
OKX SUPPORTED THE MAX TEMPERATURE FORECAST. COOLER TEMPERATURES
NEAR AND ALONG THE COAST THANKS TO THE SOUTH-SOUTHEAST SURFACE
FLOW WERE VERIFYING. THE SOUTHERN POCONOS REMAINED NEARLY AS WARM
AS NORTHWEST NJ EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/...
LINGERING CONVECTION IS FORECAST TO DRIFT EASTWARD THIS EVENING.
WE WILL MENTION A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR MUCH OF
OUR REGION, KEEPING ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE NEAR THE COAST.

SCATTERED TO ISOLATED CONVECTION MAY PERSIST INTO THE LATE NIGHT
HOURS AS A MID LEVEL IMPULSE IN THE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW LIFTS OVER
OUR REGION. ALSO, A SURFACE BOUNDARY FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH
IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE.

WITH HIGH HUMIDITY LEVELS, TEMPERATURES SHOULD DROP ONLY INTO THE
7OS TONIGHT, EXCEPT IN THE ELEVATED TERRAIN WHERE SOME READINGS IN
THE UPPER 60S ARE POSSIBLE. THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE FROM ANY CONVECTION MAY CAUSE THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOME FOG
AND LOW CLOUDS LATE TONIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THIS TIME FRAME LOOKS TO START ON THE ACTIVE SIDE /POTENTIALLY
LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG CONVECTION/ ALONG WITH HUMID
CONDITIONS, FOLLOWED BY A MORE CALMER TIME. THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC
SETUP IS COMPRISED OF A VIGOROUS SHORT WAVE AMPLIFYING INTO A
CLOSED LOW ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND SOUTHEASTERN CANADA. THIS
FEATURE THEN SHIFTS NORTHEASTWARD LATER FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. THIS
SYSTEM THOUGH MAY BE SLOW TO MOVE NORTHEASTWARD ESPECIALLY
DEPENDING ON HOW CLOSED OFF IT BECOMES. THERE DOES HOWEVER LOOK
LIKE ENOUGH OF A FLOW AND ENERGY UPSTREAM TO PUSH THE CLOSED LOW
NORTHEASTWARD AS WE GO THROUGH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. THE PATTERN
THEN LOOKS TO TRANSITION TO MORE ZONAL /SOME TROUGHING HOLDING ON
THOUGH FROM THE GREAT LAKES INTO THE NORTHEAST/ WITH WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING FROM THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY TO THE MID ATLANTIC.
THE NEXT COLD FRONT MAY THEN BE APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST
WEDNESDAY.

FOR FRIDAY, AS THE UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH AMPLIFIES TO OUR NORTHWEST
AND CLOSES OFF, A DEEP SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL ALLOW MOISTURE TO
INCREASE /PW VALUES NEAR 2 INCHES/. THIS IN COMBINATION WITH A
SOMEWHAT STRONGER WIND FIELD AND LOWERING HEIGHTS ARRIVING WILL
RESULT IN AN INCREASE IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE SEVERE
THREAT WILL GENERALLY BE DETERMINED BY HOW MUCH HEATING OCCURS, AS
THE SHEAR IS FORECAST TO INCREASE TO ABOUT 20-30 KNOTS FRIDAY INTO
EARLY SATURDAY. IT APPEARS THAT AT LEAST A FEW SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE ONGOING TO START FRIDAY ALTHOUGH THE
OVERALL COVERAGE SHOULD BE LIMITED AND MOSTLY ACROSS OUR WESTERN
ZONES. HOWEVER, POCKETS OF STRONGER HEATING MAY ALLOW FOR MORE
ROBUST CONVECTION TO DEVELOP. THERE IS SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES
WITH SOME GUIDANCE A BIT FASTER WITH THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW
AND COLD FRONT.

FRIDAY LOOKS TO BE ACTIVE WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
OCCURRING AT ANY TIME ALTHOUGH THE AFTERNOON AND AT NIGHT LOOKS TO
BE MORE FAVORED AS THE MAIN THRUST OF THE INCOMING SHARPENING
TROUGH ARRIVES. THE GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT THE MLCAPE VALUES
INCREASE UP TO 1500 J/KG FRIDAY GIVEN A WARM AND RATHER MOIST
AIR MASS. THIS MAY BECOME PROBLEMATIC THOUGH REGARDING THE SEVERE
WEATHER POTENTIAL AS SHOWERS AND STORMS MAY TEND TO DEVELOP
QUICKLY. IN ADDITION, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A FAIR AMOUNT OF
CLOUDS TO BE AROUND AND LIMITING THE OVERALL INSTABILITY. ANY MORE
ROBUST STORMS THAT CAN SUSTAIN THEMSELVES AND EVEN BECOME
ORGANIZED WILL INCREASE THE LOCALLY STRONG WIND THREAT /DOWNBURST
POTENTIAL DUE TO WATER LOADED DOWNDRAFTS APPEARS TO BE THE MAIN
THREAT/, ALTHOUGH SOME HAIL IS POSSIBLE IF CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS CAN
BECOME TALL ENOUGH. THE DEEP AND LOW-LEVEL SHEAR MAY BECOME
SOMEWHAT STRONGER IN ASSOCIATION WITH A MID LEVEL JET ROTATING
THROUGH THE SOUTHEASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER LOW. IF SUFFICIENT
INSTABILITY DEVELOPS, STORMS MAY BECOME A BIT MORE ORGANIZED WITH
THE POTENTIAL FOR BOWING SEGMENTS. IN ADDITION, THE POTENTIAL
EXISTS FOR THE LOW-LEVEL WINDS TO BACK MORE TO THE SOUTHEAST WHILE
ALOFT THEY ARE FROM THE SOUTHWEST, ADDING TO THE LOW-LEVEL SHEAR.
AGAIN IF ENOUGH INSTABILITY CAN DEVELOP AND BE MAINTAINED, SOME
CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS MAY BE ABLE TO DEVELOP SOME STORM ROTATION.

THERE WILL ALSO BE THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLY VERY HEAVY RAIN AS
RAINFALL RATES SHOULD BE EFFICIENT. THE STEERING FLOW LOOKS TO BE
ABOUT 20 KNOTS THEREFORE THE SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE MOVING,
BUT WE MAY HAVE TO WATCH FOR TRAINING CELLS. FOR NOW, WE WILL
CONTINUE TO INCLUDE A POSSIBLE HEAVY RAIN MENTION IN THE FORECAST
BUT OPTED TO NOT INCLUDE OTHER ENHANCED WORDING ATTM DUE TO LOWER
CONFIDENCE REGARDING COVERAGE/INSTABILITY AND OVERALL STORM
EVOLUTION. A MENTION HOWEVER FOR THE POTENTIAL OF SOME SEVERE
STORMS WILL BE CONTINUED IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.

FOR SATURDAY, THE CLOSED LOW ALLOWS THE SURFACE LOW TO BE
CAPTURED NEAR THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES REGION WITH THE ASSOCIATED
COLD OR OCCLUDED FRONT SHIFTING OFF THE COAST WITH TIME. THIS WILL
BRING AN END TO THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE COURSE OF
THE DAY WITH THE MORNING BEING THE MOST ACTIVE AS OF NOW. A DRY
SLOT SHOULD BE WORKING INTO THE AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON AS THE
CLOSED LOW SLOWLY LIFTS NORTHEASTWARD. DESPITE THE CYCLONIC FLOW
PERSISTING THROUGH THE NIGHT, THE LACK OF APPRECIABLE LIFT SHOULD
KEEP ANY SHOWER THREAT RATHER LOW. IT SHOULD BE TURNING LESS HUMID
DURING THE COURSE OF THE AFTERNOON AS DRYING PUSHES IN FROM THE
WEST.

FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY, THE AFOREMENTIONED CLOSED LOW GRADUALLY
LIFTS AWAY FROM OUR AREA WITH A TROUGH AXIS SLIDING ACROSS. THIS
KEEPS OUR AREA AT LEAST FOR SUNDAY WITHIN A CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT
WHILE HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE BUILDS IN. THE MAIN COLD POOL
ALOFT LOOKS TO DRIFT FAR ENOUGH NORTH TO KEEP ANY SHOWERS REMOVED
FROM OUR REGION, ALTHOUGH THERE COULD BE ADDITIONAL CUMULUS
DEVELOPMENT DURING PEAK HEATING. AS AT LEAST SOME MIXING OCCURS
ALONG WITH AN AIR MASS CHANGE, DEW POINTS SHOULD BE LOWER TO
PROVIDE A MORE PLEASANT DAY. DESPITE THE MID LEVEL FLOW TURNING
MORE ZONAL LATE SUNDAY AND MONDAY, SOME GUIDANCE HINTS AT A SHORT
WAVE TRACKING SOUTHEASTWARD FROM THE MIDWEST. SOME CONVECTION MAY
BE TIED TO THIS AS SOME WAA AND MOISTURE ADVECTION OCCURS AHEAD OF
IT. FOR NOW, OPTED TO KEEP MONDAY DAY DRY AND CONTINUE SLIGHT CHC
POPS AT NIGHT.

FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, WHILE THE FLOW TRIES TO MAINTAIN A
MORE ZONAL ORIENTATION IT APPEARS THAT THERE WILL BE SOME SHORT
WAVES EMBEDDED WITHIN THIS FLOW. THIS MAY TEAM UP OR ENHANCE SOME
WAA AHEAD OF IT WITH POSSIBLE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION AS
A RESULT. SOME OF THE GUIDANCE TENDS TO AMPLIFY AT LEAST ONE SHORT
WAVE SOME DURING THIS TIME FRAME WHICH RESULTS IN A HIGHER
CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL. AS OF NOW, WE DID NOT MAKE MUCH IN THE WAY
OF CHANGES AS TIMING OF THESE FEATURES IS MORE DIFFICULT THIS FAR
OUT. IF THERE IS LITTLE IN THE WAY OF TROUGH AMPLIFICATION AND THE
SHORT WAVE REMAINS WEAKER, THEN WE MAY HAVE TO WAIT FOR A COLD
FRONT TO APPROACH DURING WEDNESDAY FOR PERHAPS A BETTER CHC OF
CONVECTION. LITTLE CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE TEMPERATURES ATTM.

&&

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

INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS, MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED
WITH SOME SCATTERED CUMULUS DEVELOPING. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO FORM OVER THE TERRAIN OF
NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND THEY MAY EXPAND
TO THE SOUTH AND EAST. AS A RESULT, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A
MID TO LATE AFTERNOON SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM AT KRDG AND KABE.
HOWEVER, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH FORECAST CONFIDENCE REGARDING THE
TIMING AND ACTUAL IMPACT AT THOSE TWO LOCATIONS TO INCLUDE THE
MENTION IN THE TAFS AT THIS POINT. A SOUTHERLY FLOW AT 5 TO 10
KNOTS IS EXPECTED.

SCATTERED TO ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE FORECAST TO
LINGER IN OUR REGION INTO TONIGHT. AGAIN, THE FORECAST CONFIDENCE
LEVEL IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO INCLUDE THEIR MENTION IN THE TAFS AT
THIS TIME.

WITH THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND A SURFACE BOUNDARY LIFTING
NORTHWARD INTO OUR REGION LATE TONIGHT, SOME FOG AND LOW CLOUDS
ARE POSSIBLE.

OUTLOOK...
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE
THROUGH THE DAY FRIDAY AND CONTINUE SATURDAY MORNING AS A COLD
FRONT APPROACHES AND THEN MOVES THROUGH THE REGION. VFR WILL
BECOME MVFR OR EVEN LOWER ESPECIALLY IF SHOWERS AND STORMS BECOME
RATHER WIDESPREAD. THE AIR MASS WILL BE RATHER HUMID AS WELL,
THEREFORE CEILINGS MAY REMAIN LOW ESPECIALLY FRIDAY NIGHT AND
EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. THE OVERALL CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
IMPROVE TO VFR DURING THE SATURDAY FROM WEST TO EAST.

SUNDAY AND MONDAY...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
THE SOUTHERLY FLOW IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE INTO THE 10 TO 15 KNOT
RANGE FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT. WAVE HEIGHTS ON OUR OCEAN WATERS
SHOULD REMAIN IN THE 2 TO 3 FOOT RANGE. ON DELAWARE BAY, WAVE
HEIGHTS WILL LIKELY BE 2 FEET OR LESS.

OUTLOOK...
A VIGOROUS SYSTEM CLOSING OFF ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND UPPER
OHIO VALLEY WILL DRIVE A SURFACE LOW ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT
LAKES FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. AN ASSOCIATED COLD/OCCLUDED FRONT WILL
MOVE THROUGH OUR AREA SATURDAY. AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE, A SOUTHERLY
FLOW WILL OCCUR AND STRENGTHEN SOME AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
TIGHTENS. AN EXAMINATION OF THE 925 MB FORECAST WINDS REVEALS
25-30 KNOTS MOVES THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY MAINLY AHEAD
OF AND ALONG THE COLD FRONT. THIS MAY RESULT IN A PERIOD OF
ADVISORY LEVEL GUSTS, AND THE SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL TEND TO BUILD
THE SEAS TO NEAR 5 FEET ON THE OCEAN. AS A RESULT, A SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED FOR FRIDAY AND AT LEAST PART OF SATURDAY
BUT FOR NOW HELD OFF. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO
BECOME MORE NUMEROUS DURING FRIDAY AND SATURDAY MORNING BEFORE
ENDING. SOME STORMS COULD BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LOCALLY GUSTY
WINDS.

A WEAK AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE THEN BEGINS TO BUILD INTO OUR REGION
SUNDAY AND MONDAY WITH A LIGHT WESTERLY WIND THAT MAY TURN
SOUTHERLY.
