AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
944 AM EDT MON AUG 27 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL WEAKEN AS IT MOVES OFFSHORE TODAY. A COLD FRONT
IS EXPECTED MONDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE IS
FORECAST TO BUILD ACROSS THE AREA FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY, BEFORE
SINKING SOUTH OF THE AREA BY FRIDAY. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY MAY CROSS
THE AREA EARLY IN THE WEEKEND AND INTERACT WITH THE REMNANTS OF
ISAAC LATE IN THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
A BAND OF SHOWERS AND ISOLD T-STORMS HAS BEEN GRADUALLY WORKING
ITS WAY NEWD OVER THE LOWER/MIDDLE DELAWARE VLY. THESE SHOWERS ARE
PRODUCING BRIEF HEAVY DOWNPOURS WITH AMOUNTS UP TO ONE INCH PER
HOUR. THE PRECIP SEEMS TO BE ASSOCD WITH A LOW LVL CNVGC ZONE BTWN
SLY FLOW OVER DELMARVA AND SRN NJ AND LIGHT WINDS OVDER ERN PA AND
NRN NJ. ALSO...SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS MDT INSTBY OVER SRN NJ AND
DELMARVA WITH LITTLE OR NO CAP/CIN. EXPECT SCT SHRA TO CONT TO
DEVELOP OVER THIS AREA FOR THE REST OF TDA.

TEMPERATURES WERE A BLEND OF THE MET/MAV MOS WITH HIGHS IN THE
LOW-80S...DEPENDING ON HOW FAST THE STRATUS SCOURS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
ANTICIPATING MID-LEVEL LONGWAVE TROUGH TO BE JUST TO OUR WEST BY
TONIGHT AND WITH IT A FEW AREAS OF ENHANCED VORTICITY MAXIMUMS
HELPING TO PUSH A COLD FRONT THROUGH. THE HIGHEST CHANCES FOR
CONVECTION TONIGHT LIE ACROSS OUR NORTHERN ZONES WITHIN THE FRONTAL
CONVERGENCE ZONE. AS THE FRONT SAGS TOWARDS THE SOUTHEAST TONIGHT
THE MID-LEVEL FLOW GOES QUASI-ZONAL AS THE BASE OF THE TROUGH
FLATTENS OUT. THIS WILL KEEP THE SOUTHWARD PROGRESSION OF THE
BOUNDARY TO A MINIMUM...AT LEAST FOR THE TIME BEING.

PWATS WILL REMAIN QUITE HIGH, OVER 1.75 INCHES, SO ANY THUNDERSTORMS
WILL HAVE PLENTY OF MOISTURE TO TAP INTO TO. THERE LOOKS TO BE
DECENT SHEAR IN PLACE, UPWARDS OF 30 KNOTS WITHIN THE BOUNDARY LAYER
SO ORGANIZATION OR CLUSTERING OF STORMS IS A DEFINITE POSSIBLY.
LIMITING FACTOR WOULD BE ANY SURFACE BASED CAPE BUT ONLY NEED A FEW
HUNDRED JOULES TO SEE STRONGER CONVECTION. ENHANCED WORDING WAS NOT
ADDED TO THE GRIDS BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR THE HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG
WINDS ARE GOOD POSSIBILITIES...AGAIN MAINLY ACROSS THE NORTH.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA EARLY DURING THE
DAY TUESDAY. THE GREATEST PROBABILITY FOR SHOWERS TO LINGER THROUGH
THE EARLY PART OF THE DAY IS IN THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA WHICH
IS WHERE THE STRONGEST FORCING WITH THE SHORTWAVE/VORT MAX IS
FORECAST. HOWEVER, WE WILL STILL KEEP A CHANCE/SLIGHT CHANCE
EVERYWHERE, MAINLY EARLY TUESDAY UNTIL THE FRONT CROSSES THE ENTIRE
AREA LATER IN THE DAY. PWATS DROP PRETTY QUICKLY BEHIND THE FRONT,
SO PRECIPITATION SHOULD END QUICKLY BY AFTERNOON, AND LEAD TO A
DRY FORECAST FOR TUESDAY NIGHT.

ON WEDNESDAY, HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO BUILD ACROSS THE AREA
FROM THE NORTHWEST AND CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY. THIS SHOULD PROVIDE
DRY WEATHER, AND WITH THE MID-LEVEL TROUGH SWINGING THROUGH,
THICKNESSES WILL DROP WEDNESDAY, ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO COOL
SLIGHTLY WEDNESDAY TO NEAR NORMAL. HOWEVER, THIS WILL ONLY BE
TEMPORARY AS THE THICKNESSES ARE EXPECTED TO RISE AGAIN THURSDAY
INTO FRIDAY AS THE HIGH BUILDS FURTHER SOUTH AND A RETURN FLOW
DEVELOPS. TEMPERATURES SHOULD RETURN SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL,
POSSIBLY REACHING CLOSE TO 90 BY FRIDAY.

QUESTIONS THEN ARISE IN REGARDS TO THE FORECAST FOR THE WEEKEND INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE MAIN CONCERN IS WHAT HAPPENS TO THE REMNANTS OF
ISAAC AFTER LANDFALL. THE GFS KEEPS A WESTERN LANDFALL, WHILE THE
ECMWF IS A BIT FURTHER EAST. THE LATEST NHC FORECAST HAS IT MAKING
LANDFALL IN SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA, THEN TRACKING NORTH INTO THE MID-
MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLY. THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE COME TO SOMEWHAT
OF AN AGREEMENT AS THE REMNANTS MOVE INTO THE MID- MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY WITH THE 00Z RUNS. BOTH HAVE THE SYSTEM GETTING CAUGHT UP
IN A FRONTAL BOUNDARY SAGGING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND TOWARD
OUR AREA OVER THE WEEKEND, AND EVENTUALLY BRINGING IT TOWARD OUR
AREA SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. WE MAY GET SOME MOISTURE AS EARLY AS
SATURDAY/SATURDAY NIGHT, BUT AS OF NOW, SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY
LOOKS LIKE THE BEST PERIOD FOR RAIN WITH THE REMNANTS. THIS COULD
ALL CHANGE DEPENDING ON ACTUAL TRACK, BUT FOR NOW, WE WILL CARRY
SLIGHT CHANCE EARLY IN THE WEEKEND, BEFORE INCREASING TO CHANCE
LATE IN THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK DUE TO A FAIR DEGREE OF
UNCERTAINTY.

FOR THE LATEST OFFICIAL TRACK AND ADVISORIES, PLEASE REFER TO THE
NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
HE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

A BAND OF SHRA AND ISOLD T-STMS IS AFFECTING TAF SITES ALONG THE
ILG-PHL-PNE-TTN AXIS. THESE ARE PRODUCING BRIEF HEAVY DOWNPOURS
WITH LOWERED CIGS AND VSBYS. THE BAND IS GRADUALLY WORKING ITS WAY
NEWD SO OVERALL CONDS ARE EXPECTED TO IMPROVE FROM SW TO NE FOR
THE REMAINDER OF THE MORNING.

CIGS AND VSBYS SHOULD SCATTER OUT BY LATE THIS MORNING AS WINDS
VEER MORE TOWARDS THE SOUTH AND INCREASE. THERE IS A CHANCE THAT
AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT OUT TERMINALS AS
THE SYSTEM THAT PRODUCED ALL THE RAINFALL ACROSS THE DELMARVA
REGION PULLS THROUGH TO THE NORTHEAST. THE TIMING OF THE SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN LOW CONFIDENCE BUT FOR NOW HAVE PLACED
THEM AROUND THE 18 AND 19Z TIMEFRAME...WEST TO EAST RESPECTIVELY.

THE FIRST ROUND OF SHOWERS SHOULD END AS THE SUNSETS THIS EVENING
AND THEN WE ARE EXPECTING THE ARRIVAL OF A COLD FRONT BY EARLY
TUESDAY MORNING. THIS COULD TOUCH OFF ROUND 2 OF SHOWERY ACTIVITY
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS TONIGHT. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY DECREASE
THIS EVENING AND VEER EVEN MORE TOWARDS THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST. COULD
SEE MVFR CIGS AND SOME VSBYS LATE TONIGHT AT TERMINALS THAT RECEIVE
RAIN.

OUTLOOK...
TUESDAY...MOSTLY VFR, MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE WITH
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH COLD FRONT EARLY TUESDAY.

TUESDAY NIGHT-WEDNESDAY...MAINLY VFR. POSSIBLE MVFR/IFR FOG TUESDAY
NIGHT/WEDNESDAY MORNING WHERE RAIN OCCURS DURING THE DAY.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT-FRIDAY...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
SUB-ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS OUR WATERS TODAY AND
TONIGHT, ALTHOUGH SEAS WILL STILL BE RUNNING RATHER HIGH AROUND 4
FEET. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS MORNING AND THEN
AGAIN LATER TONIGHT AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST.
WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST TODAY WITH A GRADUAL
TURN TOWARDS THE SOUTH BY TONIGHT AND THEN WEST-SOUTHWEST TUESDAY
MORNING. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN TONIGHT AS THE FRONT
APPROACHES SO WINDS COULD CLIMB UPWARDS OF 15 KNOTS ALONG THE OCEAN
FRONT, LESS IN THE BAY. SEAS MAY TRY TO CLIMB BACK UP TO 5 FEET
UNDER THE STIFFER WINDS BUT SHOULD REMAIN FURTHER OFFSHORE.

OUTLOOK...
AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA TUESDAY, WINDS AND SEAS MAY
APPROACH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS. HOWEVER, FOR NOW, WE KEEP
CONDITIONS BELOW. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK, CONDITIONS ARE
FORECAST TO REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
ACROSS THE AREA FROM WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. WINDS MAY
PERIODICALLY GUST AROUND 20 KNOTS WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY, BUT REMAIN
BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS.

&&

.RIP CURRENTS...
THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS TODAY AS SEAS REMAIN
ELEVATED UNDER A 8 TO 9 SECOND PERIOD.
