Special Marine Warning 92, NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
347 PM EDT FRI AUG 3 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE IN THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WILL REMAIN IN
PLACE THROUGH SATURDAY. A COLD FRONT IS THEN SCHEDULED TO ARRIVE
LATE SUNDAY, BEFORE SLOWLY SHIFTING EASTWARD MONDAY. THIS FRONT MAY
STALL NEARBY BEFORE A SECONDARY COLD FRONT ARRIVES WEDNESDAY INTO
THURSDAY. THIS FRONT MAY THEN DISSIPATE AS YET ANOTHER COLD FRONT
ARRIVES LATE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE STARTING TO POP UP ACROSS THE
AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING. AS THESE
ARE MORE OF INSTABILITY DEPENDENT STORMS, THEY SHOULD START TO
DISSIPATE AS THE SUN SETS THIS EVENING. AFTER THE STORMS DISSIPATE,
SKIES OPEN UP A LITTLE BIT ALTHOUGH THERE WILL STILL BE SOME HIGHER
CLOUDS AROUND OVERNIGHT.

TEMPERATURES TONIGHT DROP INTO THE 70S OVERNIGHT WITH SOME UPPER 60S
ACROSS THE NORTHERN AREAS.

WITH PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ACROSS THE REGION, FOG MAY BECOME
AN ISSUE ONCE AGAIN OVERNIGHT. LOOKS TO BE PATCHY FOG ACROSS THE
REGION WITH FOG MORE LIKELY IN AREAS WHERE RAIN HAS FALLEN.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
THE BERMUDA HIGH REMAINS TO THE EAST OF THE AREA AND WILL CONTINUE
TO INFLUENCE OUR WEATHER. HOT HUMID AIRMASS REMAINS ACROSS THE
REGION WITH A SOUTHERLY FLOW BECOMING A BIT MORE TO THE SOUTHEAST
THROUGH THE DAY. WINDS START TO PICK UP LATER IN THE DAY AS LOW
PRESSURE STARTS TO PUSH EASTWARD, CREATING A TIGHTER PRESSURE
GRADIENT ACROSS OUR AREA.

TEMPERATURES SHOULD REACH INTO LOWER 90S ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA
WITH SOME UPPER 80S IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF NORTHWESTERN NEW JERSEY
AND SOUTHERN POCONOS. DEWPOINTS WILL BE SIMILAR TO FRIDAYS AND BE IN
THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. WHILE THIS WILL KEEP IT FEELING HUMID
OUTSIDE, HEAT INDEX VALUES LOOK TO FALL SHORT OF ADVISORY LEVELS SO
WE ARE NOT EXTENDING ANY HEAT HEADLINES WITH THIS PACKAGE.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN IS COMPRISED OF A ROBUST SHORT WAVE
TROUGH THAT WILL MOVE FROM THE MIDWEST SATURDAY NIGHT TO THE
NORTHEAST SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THIS
FEATURE, LOCALLY STRONG TO POTENTIALLY SEVERE CONVECTION MAY OCCUR
LATER SUNDAY. THIS SHORT WAVE TROUGH THEN LOOKS TO WEAKEN SOME AS A
LARGER TROUGH BECOMES ESTABLISHED ACROSS EASTERN CANADA AND A RIDGE
PERSISTS IN THE SOUTHWESTERN ATLANTIC. THIS TROUGH THEN TENDS TO
SETTLE SOUTHWARD SOME FROM THE MIDWEST TO THE NORTHEAST. THE OVERALL
FLOW THOUGH MAY WEAKEN AS THE MAIN TROUGH WEAKENS NORTHEASTWARD,
WHICH MAY END UP LEADING TO A COUPLE OF SURFACE COLD FRONTS SLOWING
OR STALLING NEAR OUR REGION FROM LATE MONDAY ONWARD. WE USED MOSTLY
A MODEL BLEND APPROACH FOR SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT, THEN
FOLLOWED FAIRLY CLOSELY TO HPC GUIDANCE THEREAFTER. HPC USED A
GFS/ECMWF BLEND TO WEDNESDAY THEN AN EVEN BLEND OF THE ENSEMBLE MEAN
AND NAEFS MEAN FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

FOR SATURDAY NIGHT, ANY ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION SHOULD
DISSIPATE DURING THE EVENING HOURS AS IT SHOULD BE MOSTLY DRIVEN BY
AIRMASS HEATING. THIS SCENARIO LOOKS TO FAVOR ANY CONVECTION TENDING
TO HOLD INLAND AND ESPECIALLY FROM INTERSTATE 95 WESTWARD.
OTHERWISE, A MUGGY NIGHT WITH SOME LINGERING MAINLY MID TO HIGH
LEVEL CLOUDS. GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE FORECAST TO BE
IN PLACE ALONG WITH A LIGHT SOUTHERLY FLOW, PERHAPS SOME PATCHY
STRATUS DEVELOPS. A ROBUST SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL THEN START TO
APPROACH LATE, AND SOME LOW-LEVEL WAA MAY ALLOW FOR A SMALL CHC FOR
CONVECTION TO REDEVELOP OVERNIGHT. OUR CONFIDENCE IN THIS IS LOW
GIVEN THE MAIN ASCENT HOLDING BACK WELL TO OUR WEST.

FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY, THIS LOOKS TO POTENTIALLY FEATURE A PERIOD OF
ACTIVE CONVECTIVE WEATHER /SUNDAY/. A RATHER ROBUST SHORT WAVE
TROUGH WILL BE WORKING EASTWARD FROM THE GREAT LAKES, HOWEVER THE
TIMING OF THIS FEATURE LOOKS SLOW ENOUGH TO THROTTLE BACK/DELAY THE
POPS SOME FROM WEST TO EAST. THE MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES A DECENT
LOW TO MID LEVEL WIND FIELD ARRIVING FROM THE WEST, ALTHOUGH THE
STRONGER SHEAR IS FORECAST TO SLIDE MOSTLY TO OUR WEST AND NORTH AS
THE UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH AXIS LIFTS NORTHEASTWARD A BIT. THE GUIDANCE
INDICATES THAT PLENTY OF INSTABILITY WILL BE IN PLACE ACROSS OUR
AREA, AND WITH AMPLE HEATING TAKING PLACE A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH
SHOULD SET UP. THIS MAY PROVIDE ENOUGH LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE FOR
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION TO DEVELOP. IT LOOKS HOWEVER THAT
WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE MAIN ASCENT WITH THE UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH
TO ARRIVE TO FORCE MORE ORGANIZED CONVECTION, WHICH MAY TEND TO BE
IN THE FORM OF CLUSTERS AND/OR LINE SEGMENTS. THIS TIMING WOULD TEND
TO BRING THIS INTO OUR WESTERN ZONES IN THE AFTERNOON AND THEN
DURING THE NIGHT ACROSS OUR EASTERN AND SOUTHERN ZONES. WHILE
THE CONVECTION MAY WEAKEN DURING THE OVERNIGHT, INSTABILITY HOLDING
ON ALONG WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH AND SURFACE COLD
FRONT SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO SUSTAIN AT LEAST SOME CONVECTION.

GIVEN THE INSTABILITY AND THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES /RELATIVELY HIGH
MOISTURE CONTENT AND STEEPENING LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES/, SOME OF THE
CONVECTION MAY BECOME SEVERE ESPECIALLY IF STORMS CAN INITIATE
EARLIER. IN ADDITION, THE SEVERE THREAT MAY TEND TO INCREASE IF
ORGANIZED COLD POOLS WITHIN LINE SEGMENTS OR CLUSTERS CAN BECOME
ESTABLISHED WHICH WOULD ENHANCE THE DOWNBURST WIND POTENTIAL.
THEREFORE, LOCALLY GUSTY TO DAMAGING WINDS LOOK TO BE THE MAIN
THREAT. IF STORMS ARE ABLE TO SUSTAIN STRONG UPDRAFTS, THEN LARGER
HAIL WOULD ALSO BECOME A CONCERN. DESPITE THE POTENTIAL FOR A LATER
ARRIVAL, THERE IS AT LEAST SOME STRONG CONVECTIVE WIND POTENTIAL
THEREFORE ADDED GUSTY WINDS IN THE FORECAST. GIVEN A RATHER MOIST
AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS, ROBUST ENOUGH UPDRAFTS MAY PRODUCE A LOT OF
LIGHTNING, THEREFORE ADDED THIS AS WELL. WE WILL ALSO CONTINUE THE
MENTION OF POSSIBLE STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE HAZARDOUS
WEATHER OUTLOOK. BASED ON THE MODEL CONSENSUS, WE SLOWED DOWN THE
POP INCREASE FROM WEST TO EAST A DECENT AMOUNT.

THE COLD FRONT THEN GRADUALLY SLIDES SOUTHEASTWARD MONDAY WITH SOME
SHOWERS AND STORMS POSSIBLY LINGERING MAINLY ACROSS OUR EASTERN AND
SOUTHERN ZONES THROUGH MIDDAY. THERE MAY BE ENOUGH OF A SOUTHEASTERLY
PUSH FROM AN INCOMING SURFACE HIGH TO REDUCE THE CONVECTIVE THREAT
THE FARTHER NORTHWEST ONE GOES ACROSS OUR CWA. AS A RESULT, WE
SHAVED THE POPS BACK FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST WITH TIME. THE
DRIER AIR HOWEVER MAY BE DELAYED IN ARRIVING ACROSS THE BULK OF OUR
CWA AS THE SURFACE FRONT MAY TEND TO SLOW OR EVEN STALL.

FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH GENERALLY BECOMES
MORE AND MORE ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE NORTHEAST. THIS SHOULD FAVOR
THE AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT STALLING NEAR THE NORTHERN MID
ATLANTIC REGION. THIS BOUNDARY LOOKS TO WASH OUT WITH TIME AS SOME
TROUGH AMPLIFICATION OCCURS UPSTREAM AND SENDS A SECONDARY COLD
FRONT OUR WAY WEDNESDAY. SOME LOWERING HEIGHTS ALOFT ONCE AGAIN
COMBINED ESPECIALLY WITH HEATING AND TERRAIN AFFECTS MAY BE ENOUGH
TO ALLOW FOR ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS ESPECIALLY
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. FOR NOW, WE LEANED MORE TOWARD
SLIGHT CHC POPS AS COVERAGE LOOKS TO BE LIMITED.

FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, AS THE UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH IS MAINTAINED IN
THE NORTHEAST, ADDITIONAL ENERGY ROUNDING ITS BASE MAY KEEP THE
SURFACE FRONTS SLOW MOVING OR EVEN STALL INTO THE MID ATLANTIC. A
LEE SIDE TROUGH MAY BECOME PRESENT DURING BOTH OF THESE DAYS BEFORE
ANOTHER SURFACE COLD FRONT ARRIVES LATE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THE
OVERALL TROUGHING/CYCLONIC FLOW ABOVE SURFACE HEATING MAY LEAD TO
SOME MAINLY DIURNALLY DRIVEN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE MAIN
FORECAST CHALLENGE THIS FAR OUT IS MOSTLY COVERAGE. GIVEN LOWER
CONFIDENCE, WENT WITH SLIGHT CHC TO LOW CHC POPS.

AS FOR TEMPERATURES, WE USED MOSTLY A MOS BLEND FOR SATURDAY NIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY THEN CLOSER TO HPC GUIDANCE. SOME ADJUSTMENTS WERE
THEN MADE AFTER SOME ADDITIONAL COLLABORATION. SUNDAY LOOKS TO BE
ANOTHER VERY WARM TO HOT DAY, HOWEVER HEAT INDICES ATTM LOOK TO STAY
BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA EVEN FOR THE PHILADELPHIA METRO AREA.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS EVENING. ISOLATED
CONVECTION THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW
THAT IT WILL DIRECTLY AFFECT THE TERMINALS. ANYTHING THAT DEVELOPS
SHOULD DISSIPATE BY AROUND 00Z.

WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT AND OUT OF A SOUTHERLY DIRECTION TONIGHT.
WINDS SHOULD GO LIGHT AND VARIABLE AT MOST LOCATIONS OVERNIGHT.
WHERE IS WIND, IT WILL BE A SLIGHT SOUTHWEST FLOW BECOMING MORE
SOUTHEASTERLY TOWARD SATURDAY MORNING.

FOG WILL ONCE AGAIN BE AN ISSUE TO DEAL WITH SATURDAY MORNING.
PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE REGION AND THE
POTENTIAL FOR MVFR, POSSIBLY IFR, FOG WILL EXIST. FOG WILL BE MORE
LIKELY IN LOCATIONS WHERE RAIN FALLS.

OUTLOOK...
SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...GENERALLY VFR /SMALL CHANCE FOR
POCKETS OF STRATUS LATER SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING/, WITH
ANY ISOLATED OR SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ENDING BY LATE SATURDAY
EVENING. THEN, A BETTER CHANCE OF SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND SUNDAY NIGHT AS A COLD FRONT SLOWLY ARRIVES.
SOME OF THE STORMS MAY BE GUSTY ALONG WITH LOCAL SUB-VFR CONDITIONS
FOR A TIME. A GENERAL SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WIND SUNDAY AFTERNOON MAY
GUST TO ABOUT 20 KNOTS.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS MAY
LINGER ESPECIALLY THROUGH MIDDAY MONDAY WITH LOCAL SUB-VFR POSSIBLE.
OTHERWISE, VFR WITH ANOTHER LOW CHANCE OF A THUNDERSTORM TUESDAY
AFTERNOON MAINLY SOUTH OF A LINE FROM KILG TO KACY.

WEDNESDAY...A LOCAL SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM IS POSSIBLE AS A
SECONDARY COLD FRONT SLOWLY ARRIVES.

&&

.MARINE...
SEAS AND WINDS WILL REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA
THROUGH SATURDAY. HOWEVER, WITH THE GRADIENT STARTING TO TIGHTEN UP,
AN INCREASING SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL DEVELOP TOWARD SATURDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING, INCREASING WINDS AND SEAS SLIGHTLY.

OUTLOOK...
HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED TO OUR SOUTHEAST WILL ERODE SOME SUNDAY INTO
MONDAY AS A COLD FRONT ARRIVES. A SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THIS FRONT
IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
TIGHTENS. THIS MAY RESULT IN ADVISORY LEVEL WIND GUSTS OCCURRING
LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND ESPECIALLY SUNDAY NIGHT. THESE WINDS ARE
THEN EXPECTED TO DIMINISH MONDAY. THE INCREASED SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL
ALSO BUILD THE SEAS, WHERE HEIGHTS MAY GET TO AROUND 5 FEET ON THE
OCEAN SUNDAY NIGHT BEFORE GRADUALLY SUBSIDING MONDAY. SOME
THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY NIGHT MAY BE LOCALLY GUSTY ALONG WITH FREQUENT
LIGHTNING. THE CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BE BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
