Special Weather Statement, NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1217 AM EDT MON JUL 1 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY ALONG THE APPALACHIANS WILL EDGE WESTWARD TO
THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY DURING MID WEEK AND THEN EVENTUALLY DISSIPATE.
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE IN THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WILL ALSO SHIFT WESTWARD
AND BE PARKED ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST FRIDAY THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND...
PROBABLY BEGINNING A HEAT WAVE FOR OUR AREA BY THE END OF THE WEEK
OR NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
MADE A FURTHER REDUCTION IN POPS BASED ON CURRENT AND EXPECTED
RADAR TRENDS FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS. WILL AWAIT THE NEW GUID
BEFORE ANY ADDITIONAL CHANGES ARE MADE WITH THE NEXT FCST UPDATE.

OTHERWISE, A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS STILL IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF THE
CWA FOR THIS PERIOD AND THROUGH AT LEAST TUESDAY AT 02Z. THE WORST
IS YET TO COME. RIBBON OF HIGHEST PW'S NOT EXPECTED TO RETROGRADE
BACK ONTO THE COAST UNTIL OVERNIGHT TONIGHT.

EXPECTING AN INCREASE IN COVERAGE AFTER MIDNIGHT/TOWARD DAWN AS A
SLUG OF OMEGA ASSOCIATED WITH A S/W WORKS UP THROUGH VIRGINIA AND
INTO THE CWA. THE GFS HAS BEEN CONSISTENT WITH BRINGING THIS
FEATURE JUST WEST OF THE I-95 CORRIDOR. IN ADDITION, THE
STATIONARY FRONT THAT HAS BEEN A FACTOR WILL REMAIN IN PLACE.

TEMPS WILL FALL BACK INTO THE 60S NORTH AND WEST AND REMAIN IN THE
LOW 70S ELSEWHERE.

SOME FOG COULD REDUCE VISIBILITIES ONCE AGAIN TONIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
WE'LL FAVOR THE 12Z GFS IN TERMS OF HIGHEST POPS TOMORROW. IN
REALITY, THERE ISN'T MUCH CONSISTENCY AMONGST THE HIGH-RES, GLOBAL,
OR STAT GUIDANCE. EACH MODEL HAS IT'S FAVORITE SPOT FOR HEAVY PRECIP.

WITH THE GFS FORECAST BEING PERSISTENT ACROSS OUR CWA THE LAST TWO
DAYS AND SEEING THE ACTIVITY ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH COMING TO
FRUITION, WE'RE PUTTING A LITTLE MORE FAITH IN IT'S SOLUTION. IN
ADDITION, BOTH WPC AND MARFC PUT THE AXIS OF HEAVIEST RAINS JUST
WEST OF THE I-95 CORRIDOR.

TEMPS WILL TOP OUT IN THE MID 70S NORTH AND WEST AND IN THE LOWER TO
MID 80S ELSEWHERE.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
**FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL CONTINUES FROM BANDS OF VERY HEAVY RAIN
 THROUGH TUESDAY AND A HEAT WAVE APPEARS ON THE HORIZON TO BEGIN
 FRIDAY OR NEXT WEEKEND**

NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN FORECAST PHILOSOPHY FROM AT LEAST THE
LAST 48 HOURS AND I BORROWED PARTS OF OUR PRIOR AFD DISCUSSION TO
EXPRESS MY THINKING.

AS OF 330 PM: WE'VE RECEIVED SPOTTY REPORTS OF FLASH FLOODING AND
DAMAGING WIND. WE ARE INTERESTED IN MORE DETAILED REPORTS OF WHAT
MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED ON KENT ISLAND 1230-1PM...INCLUDING ANY REPORTS
FROM SOUTH STEVENSVILLE MD WHERE BWI TDWR HAD 44 KT AT ABOUT 1200
FT. DITTO ANY UNUSUAL REPORTS OF FLOODING OR DAMAGE FROM NEW
CASTLE...CECIL COUNTY AND BERKS COUNTIES AND LIKEWISE DAMAGE OR FF
REPORTS IN SW NJ. WE HAD A COUPLE OF MIDDAY REPORTS OF WATERSPOUTS
TODAY NEAR CHESAPEAKE BAY.

THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC SETUP IS AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH FROM THE
GREAT LAKES TO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THROUGH ABOUT
WEDNESDAY, THEN THIS FEATURE WEAKENS SOME AS IT SHIFTS WESTWARD.
THIS OCCURS AS A LARGE RIDGE IN THE WESTERN ATLANTIC IS FORECAST
TO RETROGRADE INTO THE MID ATLANTIC DURING THE MID TO LATE WEEK
TIME FRAME. THIS THEN GENERALLY HOLDS FIRM INTO NEXT WEEKEND. AS A
RESULT, NO ORGANIZED SYNOPTIC STORMS IMPACT OUR AREA, HOWEVER A
CONVERGENCE AREA BETWEEN THE UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH AND RIDGE WILL
ALLOW FOR A VERY HEAVY RAIN THREAT TO START THE WEEK BEFORE EASING
UP. OVERALL THE MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE MASS
FIELDS AND SMALL SCALE FEATURES MAKING UP THE UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH.
IT APPEARS THAT THE TIMING AND STRENGTH OF THE RIDGE AS IT SHIFTS
WESTWARD WILL HAVE AN IMPACT TO WHERE THE HEAVY RAIN AXIS SETS UP
FOR A TIME.

TEMPERATURES: CALENDAR DAY AVERAGES ABOVE NORMAL EVERY DAY THIS
EXTENDED PERIOD.  NIGHT TIMES THE FIRST FEW DAYS DOMINATE 5 TO 10
DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL WITH DAY TIMES NEAR NORMAL...BUT AS WE HEAD
INTO THE PERIOD THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...THE DAILY MAXIMUMS'S
WARM ABOVE NORMAL AND THE MINS CONTINUE ABOVE NORMAL.

THE DAILIES BELOW...

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING...USING MODELED 850 MB VORT
PATHS... SFC MOISTURE CONVERGENCE... INSTABILITY FIELDS AND KI AXIS
ALONG WITH THE SREF PWAT...I95 WESTWARD SHOULD BE LINED UP FOR BANDS
OF HEAVY CONVECTION.  TEMPS/DEWS/WINDS ARE 50 50 BLENDED 12Z/30
NAM/GFS MOS GUIDANCE. QPF IS FROM HPC...USUALLY THEIR 18Z/30
VERSION. CONVECTION IS FAVORED AFTN/EVENING BUT CANT BE RULED OUT
LATE AT NIGHT WHERE INSTABILITY POOLS AND 850 VT MAX'S PASS.

WEDNESDAY-FRIDAY...A GRADUAL DRYING OUT ALOFT WITH GRADUALLY
REDUCING CHANCES OF ANY TSTMS AND THOSE MOSTLY IN E PA AND NW NJ.
DAYTIME TEMPS WARM AND A HEAT WAVE COULD BEGIN THURSDAY OR FRIDAY
AS WINDS TURN A LITTLE WEST OF SOUTH. EARLY MORNING HAZE OR PATCHY
FOG/STRATUS DAILY...MOSTLY EARLY WEDNESDAY.  TEMPS AT 850MB ARE
WARMING TO NEAR 17C BY FRIDAY WHICH SUPPORTS AROUND 90-91F. 15Z HPC
GUIDANCE WARMED AT NIGHT BY 1 OR 2 DEGREES AND DAYTIMES ARE THE
12Z/30 GFS MEXMOS.

CONFIDENCE ON WHEN WE START 90F IS BELOW AVG DUE TO THE COOLER
ECMWF. HOWEVER...AM FAVORING THE WARMER GFS SINCE THICKNESSES ARE
NEAR 576 AND THE PRESSURE GRADIENT IS TURNING WSW...A POTENTIALLY HOT
FLOW.

NEXT WEEKEND...MODEL DISAGREEMENT ON WHERE THE MOISTURE-INSTABILITY
AXIS LIES BUT A HOT CONTINENTAL FLOW SHOULD BE IN PROGRESS WITH 850
TEMPS NEAR 17C.  A COUPLE OF BATCHES OF TSTMS ARE POSSIBLE...MAINLY
LATE DAY BUT BEST AXIS IS STILL UNCERTAIN. 15Z HPC GUIDANCE FOR
MINS...WARMED A DEGREE OR 2 AND USED THE 12Z/30 GFS MEXMOS TEMPS
FOR MAX'S.

HI STILL BELOW OUR CRITERIA OF 100F FOR A HEAT HAZARD ADVY. MID
TO UPPER 90S HI FCST. HPC GUIDANCE GIVES A 16-17 PCT CHC OF HI
100 THIS WEEKEND NEAR PHL.

&&

.AVIATION /04Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

NOT MUCH CHANGE WITH THE 00Z TAFS ALTHOUGH THEY ARE A BIT MORE
PESSIMISTIC THAN PREVIOUSLY FORECASTED.

TONIGHT...VFR/MVFR TO START WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND/OR
THUNDERSTORMS. EXPECTING LOW CLOUDS AND FOG TO REDEVELOP AFTER
MIDNIGHT. FORECAST PERIOD WILL END WITH MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS. SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS INCREASE IN COVERAGE TOWARD DAWN.

MONDAY...AFTER SOME IFR IN THE MORNING, VFR AND/OR MVFR WILL BE THE
RULE. THREAT OF PRECIPITATION HIGHEST FROM PHILLY TERMINALS
WESTWARD.

OUTLOOK...
MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...TIMES OF MVFR/IFR WITH SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS. THERE IS THE CHANCE FOR A PERIOD OF LOW CLOUDS/FOG
EACH MORNING. SOUTHERLY WINDS GENERALLY NEAR 10 KNOTS, WITH GUSTS TO
NEAR 20 KNOTS EACH AFTERNOON.

WEDNESDAY...THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...SUB-VFR POSSIBLE EACH MORNING WITH
LOCAL LOW CLOUDS/FOG, OTHERWISE VFR. HOWEVER, MVFR/IFR VISIBILITY
POSSIBLE WITH ANY SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS ESPECIALLY EACH AFTERNOON
AND EVENING, MAINLY NORTH AND WEST OF KRDG-KABE. SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST
WINDS GENERALLY NEAR 10 KNOTS, BUT GUSTS TO NEAR 20 KNOTS EACH
AFTERNOON.

&&

.MARINE...
SYNOPTICALLY SPEAKING...A FRONTAL BOUNDARY ALONG THE APPALACHIANS
WILL EDGE WESTWARD TO THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY DURING MID WEEK AND
THEN EVENTUALLY DISSIPATE. STRONG HIGH PRESSURE IN THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC WILL ALSO SHIFT WESTWARD AND BE PARKED ALONG THE MID
ATLANTIC COAST FRIDAY THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND.

NO CHANGE IN THINKING FROM YESTERDAY WITH AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF
SOUTHERLY FLOW AND SWELLS. HEADLINES CAN BE EXPECTED WELL INTO THE
EXTENDED PERIOD.

OUTLOOK...
MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...

SCA EXTENDED THRU TUE IN THE ATLC WATERS. ITS MARGINAL BUT SEAS
SHOULD SIT AROUND 5 OR 6 FEET FOR THE DURATION.

AN UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE IS FORECAST TO RETROGRADE TOWARD THE MID
ATLANTIC COAST BY THURSDAY. THIS WILL KEEP SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
ANCHORED TO OUR EAST AND A SOUTHERLY FLOW OCCURRING THROUGH THE
PERIOD. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT IS FORECAST TO TIGHTEN FOR A TIME,
HOWEVER WITH THE LACK OF A WELL DEVELOPED SURFACE LOW TRACKING
NEARBY THE WINDS MAY TEND TO STAY BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA. OVERALL,
SEAS ON THE OCEAN ARE FORECAST TO BE AROUND 5 FEET MONDAY NIGHT AND
TUESDAY AS THE GRADIENT FLOW JUST OFF THE COAST STRENGTHENS A BIT
BEFORE DIMINISHING SOME WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

THEREFORE NO SCA EXPECTED ON THE ATLC WATERS WED-FRI WITH SWELLS OF
3-4 FT AT 5 TO 6 SECONDS AND A SSW WIND 10-20KT.

CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED TO REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA ON
DELAWARE BAY THROUGHOUT THIS MONDAY NIGHT-FRIDAY PERIOD.

A GUSTY TSTM IS STILL POSSIBLE TUESDAY OTHER HAZY AT TIMES.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
WITH TODAY'S ACTIVITY, THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WAS PUT INTO EFFECT. IT
WAS ALSO EXPANDED AND NOW COVERS MUCH OF THE HSA. THE EXCEPTION IS
THE NJ COASTAL PLAIN.

THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS BASED ON ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS GIVEN THE
RATHER WET MONTH OF JUNE EXPERIENCED ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA. GIVEN
THE POTENTIAL FOR REPEATED AND FOCUSED HEAVY RAIN PRODUCING SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS, THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS SITUATION ESPECIALLY FOR
THOSE WITH CONCERNS ALONG SMALL STREAMS AND LOW LYING VULNERABLE
AREAS. PLAN FOR POSSIBLE TRAVEL DELAYS AND DETOURS IF FLOODING RAIN
DOES DEVELOP.

THERE STILL REMAINS SOME QUESTION ON THE MAIN LOCATION OF THE MORE
FOCUSED HEAVY RAINFALL. BUT WE'RE NOW LEANING TOWARD THE I-95
CORRIDOR AND POINTS WEST FOR A FEW REASONS. ONE...A SURFACE BOUNDARY
WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH AT LEAST MONDAY BEFORE IT SHIFTS
WESTWARD AND EVENTUALLY BECOME LESS DEFINED. TWO...ELEVATION.
THREE...THE GFS HAS BEEN PERSISTENT IN BRINGING A SLUG OF OMEGA
ACROSS SE PA IN RESPONSE TO A S/W GETTING IT'S ACT TOGETHER ACROSS
THE SOUTHEASTERN US.

LOOKING FORWARD, IT WILL BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR ALL OF THE CWA
TO ESCAPE FLOODING RAINFALL THROUGH TUESDAY, ESPECIALLY WITH PW'S
INCREASING TONIGHT AND PERSISTING THROUGH AT LEAST TUESDAY. IF
RECURRING HEAVY RAINFALL HITS THE EXACT SAME LOCALES (WHICH IS
UNLIKELY), IT WOULD NOT BE OUT OF THE QUESTION TO SEE RAINFALL
TOTALS OF 4-8 INCHES BY THE END OF TUESDAY. THESE AMOUNTS WOULD BE
ISOLATED. THAT SAID, AS OF NOW, NO MAINSTEM RIVER FLOODING IS
OUTLOOKED. IT WOULD BE PRUDENT TO KEEP AN EYE ON THINGS.

&&

.RIP CURRENTS...
MONDAY AND TUESDAY...SIMILAR SWELL AND COASTAL WIND IS
ANTICIPATED AND SO THE RISK FOR THE FORMATION OF DANGEROUS RIP
CURRENTS WILL BE MODERATE OR HIGH.

WEDNESDAY...THE SWELL AND PERIOD SUBSIDE-DIMINISH A BIT TO 4 FT 6
SECONDS AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO REVERT TO LOW OR POSSIBLY A 1 DAY
LAGGED MODERATE BUT HIGH RISK IS NOT OUTLOOKED FOR WEDNESDAY.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...CAVEATS! LOW RISK...IF ONLY A 3 FT 5 SEC
SOUTHERLY SWELL BUT OUR MODEL GUIDANCE IS SUGGESTING A 1 FOOT 15-16
SECOND PERIOD SECONDARY SE SWELL WILL BECOME EVIDENT ALONG OUR
SHORES...EVIDENT EARLIER ON THE 3RD ALONG THE NEW ENGLAND COAST..
WHICH FORCES OUR FORECAST RIP RISK UP A CATEGORY TO MODERATE.  NOT
A GOOD SCENARIO FOR THE BUSY 4TH OF JULY SWIM WEEKEND AS AIR
TEMPERATURES WARM.

&&
