Special Weather Statement, NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly

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

.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY, FROM NEW ENGLAND SOUTHWESTWARD DOWN THE
APPALACHIANS, WILL GRADUALLY SLIDE WESTWARD TO THE MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK AND THEN EVENTUALLY DISSIPATE.
HIGH PRESSURE IN THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WILL ALSO SHIFT WESTWARD AND
BECOME PARKED NEAR THE MID ATLANTIC COAST THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
THE LATEST RADAR SHOWED AN AREA OF PRECIP ALG OUR WRN PERIPHERY
EARLY THIS MRNG AND NOTHING ELSEWHERE.  THE PRECIP WAS GENLY MOVG N
TO S WITH LITTLE EWD PROGRESSION, SO HAVE ADJUSTED POPS ACCORDINGLY.

IT IS QUITE A DIFFICULT FCST FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT.  WITH HIGH
PRESSURE TO THE EAST AND AN UPPER LOW TO THE W, A GENL S TO SW FLOW
WILL CONTINUE OVER THE REGION AND A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY NR THE
REGION.  THIS WILL KEEP ANOTHER DAY OF ABUNDANT DEEP MOISTURE OVER THE
AREA.  THE MOISTURE WILL, IN TURN TRIGGER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS,
MUCH AS IT HAS OVER THE LAST WEEK.

THE MAIN QUESTION REMAINS JUST HOW WIDESPREAD WILL THEY BE AND WHAT
AREAS WILL RECEIVE THE MOST RAIN.  CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT NRN
AND WRN AREAS WILL SEE THE MOST PRECIP, BUT CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW
ON THE OVERALL DETAILS.  SOME HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED AND AMOUNTS OF
1 TO 2 INCHES, WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE PSBL WHERE THE
HEAVIEST RAIN OCCURS.

WILL LEAVE THE FFA IN EFFECT AS PREV ISSUED, EVEN THOUGH WITH ALL
THE UNCERTAINTY, I AM NOT CONVINCED THAT IT WILL BE NEEDED IN ALL
LOCATIONS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM TUESDAY/...
GUID INDICATES THAT PRECIP SHOULD BECOME MORE SPOTTY TONIGHT AND
THEN PERHAPS EVEN END IN SOME LOCATIONS.  AGAIN, MDLS DIFFER ON THIS
SCENARIO.  WILL GO WITH LOWER POPS TWD DAY BREAK, BUT STILL IN THE
CHC AND SEE HOW THE SITUATION DEVELOPS.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC SETUP IS AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH FROM THE
GREAT LAKES TO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THROUGH ABOUT
WEDNESDAY BUT THIS FEATURE 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 DURING THE 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
CONTINUED LOCALLY VERY HEAVY RAIN THREAT TUESDAY BEFORE EASING UP.
IT APPEARS THAT THE TIMING AND STRENGTH OF THE RIDGE AS IT SHIFTS
WESTWARD WILL HAVE AN IMPACT TO WHERE THE HEAVY RAIN AXIS REMAINS
TUESDAY, HOWEVER THIS SHOULD BE SHIFTING FARTHER INLAND WITH TIME.
WE TOOK A MODEL BLEND APPROACH FOR TUESDAY INTO THURSDAY THEN
BLENDED SOME NEW WPC GUIDANCE INTO CONTINUITY THEREAFTER.

FOR TUESDAY, THE WESTERN ATLANTIC RIDGE IS FORECAST TO GRADUALLY
RETROGRADE TOWARD THE MID ATLANTIC COAST. MEANWHILE, A CLOSED LOW
NEAR THE OHIO VALLEY WILL SHIFT WESTWARD. A PLUME OF DEEP MOISTURE
/PW VALUES AROUND 2 INCHES/ WILL BE ACROSS THE AREA, ALTHOUGH THIS
MAY START TO LOWER A BIT AT NIGHT. MEANWHILE, A FRONT JUST TO OUR
WEST IS FORECAST TO SLIDE WESTWARD SOME AND PROBABLY START TO BECOME
LESS DEFINED. DESPITE THIS BOUNDARY SHIFTING TO THE WEST, AMPLE
MOISTURE ALONG WITH JUST ENOUGH SHORT WAVE ENERGY AND BUOYANT AIR
SHOULD STILL PRODUCE SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SOME GUIDANCE
INDICATING THAT LESS COVERAGE OCCURS THROUGH THE DAY AS THE HEIGHTS
START TO BUILD WITH THE RETROGRADING WESTERN ATLANTIC RIDGE.
OVERALL, WE LOOK TO MID LEVEL FORCING THAT SHOULD STILL OVERSPREAD
THE AREA FROM TIME TO TIME AND THIS LIFT WILL ASSIST IN SOME
CONVECTIVE ORGANIZATION. IT APPEARS THAT WEST OF INTERSTATE 95 IS
THE MORE PRIME AREA FOR A GREATER CONCENTRATION OF CONVECTION GIVEN
THE WESTWARD SHIFT OF THE RIDGE. WE SHOULD SEE THE MOST ACTIVITY
OCCURRING DURING THE PEAK HEATING HOURS, HOWEVER EVEN AT NIGHT IN A
HIGH WATER CONTENT AIRMASS WITH A CLOSED LOW TO THE WEST MAY BE ABLE
TO SUSTAIN AT LEAST SOME CONVECTION OVERNIGHT ESPECIALLY IF SUBTLE
DISTURBANCES MOVE THROUGH IN THE FLOW.

THE FLOW UP THROUGH THE COLUMN IS SOUTH-SOUTHWESTERLY AND THIS
POINTS TO A CONTINUED TRAINING CONVECTIVE SITUATION. AS A RESULT,
LOCALLY VERY HEAVY RAIN CAN STILL OCCUR ALTHOUGH THE AREAL EXTENT
MAY BE REDUCED. BASED ON SOME MIXED SIGNALS IN THE GUIDANCE, WE
OPTED NOT TO EXTEND THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH BEYOND EARLY TUESDAY
MORNING. IF IT WERE LATER ON, THE WESTERN ZONES LOOK TO HAVE THE
HIGHER CHC OF FLOODING DOWNPOURS. IT APPEARS THAT THE MAIN FOCUS FOR
SOME HEAVY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS NORTH AND WEST OF THE FALL
LINE. THIS DUE TO THE SOUTHERLY FLOW WITH ADDED TERRAIN SHOULD HELP
TO FOCUS MORE ORGANIZATION THERE. THEREFORE, THE POPS WERE ADJUSTED
SOME TO REFLECT THIS. THE OVERALL SETUP SHOULD TEND TO FAVOR A LOW
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THREAT, ALTHOUGH PERHAPS SOME LOCALIZED STRONG
WINDS OCCUR WITH SOME CONVECTION DUE TO PRECIPITATION LOADING WITHIN
THE DOWNDRAFT RESULTING IN A DOWNBURST IF EVEN DESTABILIZATION CAN
OCCUR.

FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY, THE RIDGE IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE
RETROGRADING ALLOWING HEIGHTS TO RISE SOME MORE. AS THIS OCCURS, THE
AXIS OF HIGH PW VALUES /AROUND 2 INCHES/ SHOULD START TO SHIFT
WESTWARD OF OUR CWA ESPECIALLY ON THURSDAY. THE AMOUNT OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEPEND ON THE FORCING MECHANISMS THAT COME
INTO PLAY ALONG WITH ANY INTACT LOW-LEVEL BOUNDARIES, HOWEVER
GRADUAL DRYING ALOFT SHOULD HELP LOWER THE CONVECTIVE CHCS.
THEREFORE POPS ARE LOWER, WITH THE HIGHEST VALUES ACROSS OUR WESTERN
ZONES. FARTHER SOUTH AND EAST, SOME INCREASE IN THE HEIGHTS AND
SOME GRADUAL LOWERING OF THE PW VALUES MAY START TO LIMIT
CONVECTION, THEREFORE LOWERED POPS. DURING THIS TIME FRAME, THE MOST
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY MAY BE TIED TO PEAK HEATING.

FOR FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY, WHILE A MOIST AIRMASS REMAINS IN PLACE IT
APPEARS AS THE RIDGE BUILDS INLAND SOME THE MAIN AXIS OF THE DEEPER
MOISTURE IS SHOVED FARTHER TO OUR NORTH AND WEST. SINCE THE RIDGE
WILL BE MORE IN PLACE, DEVELOPING HEAT LOOKS TO OCCUR WITH 850 MB
TEMPERATURES AROUND +17C SUPPORTING SURFACE TEMPERATURES AROUND 90
DEGREES. AS THE PW VALUES LOWER SOME, THE DEW POINTS MAY FOLLOW AS
WELL BUT PROBABLY REMAIN HIGH ENOUGH WITH PLENTY OF GROUND MOISTURE
IN PLACE TO AIDE IN EVAPOTRANSPIRATION. THIS WOULD RESULT IN
ELEVATED HEAT INDICES. AS OF NOW EXCESSIVE HEAT IS NOT ANTICIPATED
SINCE WE NEED A HEAT INDEX OF 100 DEGREES OR HIGHER, HOWEVER THIS
WILL DEPEND WHERE THE SURFACE DEW POINTS END UP BEING. A POTENTIAL
FLY IN THE OINTMENT ESPECIALLY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY IS SOME GUIDANCE
SHOWING A SHORT WAVE TROUGH /AND EVEN A SURFACE TROUGH/ SLIDING
NEARBY. THIS COULD BE CLOSE ENOUGH AND ALONG THE NORTHERN PART OF
THE RIDGE TO INITIATE SOME CONVECTION. THEREFORE CONFIDENCE IS ON
THE LOWER SIDE WHEN HIGHS GET TO 90 DEGREES. THE OVERALL FLOW THOUGH
WOULD TEND TO POINT TO HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

CIGS ARE ALL OVER THIS AM, RANGING FROM LIFR TO VFR.  MOST PLACES
HAD DROPPED TO IFR OR LOWER A FEW HOURS AGO, BUT THERE HAS BEEN SOME
IMPROVEMENT RECENTLY AT SOME SITES.  STILL EXPECT MVFR/IFR TO
PREVAIL AND EXPECT POOR FLYING WEATHER THRU THE TAF PD AND INTO TUE
AS PDS OF RAIN IMPACT THE AREA.  TSRA CAN NOT BE RULED OUT, BUT
CONFIDENCE IS LOW ON THE TIMING AND THE PROBABILITY AT ANY ONE TAF
SITE TO INCLUDE IN THE FCSTS ATTM.  OTHERWISE, EXPECT S TO SW WIND
WHICH WILL INCREASE DURG THE AFTN TO 10 TO 15 KT WITH GUSTS AS HIGH
AS 20 KT IN SOME AREAS.  THE WIND WILL DROP OFF AFTER SUNSET.
EXPECT CIGS TO DECREASE FURTHER AFTER SUNSET.

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

WEDNESDAY THROUGH 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 KPHL. SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS
GENERALLY NEAR 10 KNOTS, BUT LOCAL GUSTS TO NEAR 20 KNOTS EACH
AFTERNOON.

&&

.MARINE...
SCA WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT AS PERSISTENT S TO SWLY FLOW WILL KEEP
SEAS ELEVATED AND A GUST TO 25 KT CAN NOT BE RULED OUT EITHER.
THERE WILL BE PERIODS OF RAIN, SOME OF WHICH COULD BE HEAVY, SO ITS
PROBABLY NOT THE BEST DAY TO BE ON THE AREA WATERS.

OUTLOOK...
THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH 22Z TUESDAY FOR
THE ATLANTIC COASTAL WATERS. THIS IS MAINLY FOR SEAS AROUND 5-6
FEET. 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. AREAS OF CONVECTION ARE EXPECTED TO BE FOCUSED OVER LAND
THROUGH ABOUT THURSDAY WITH THIS SHIFTING FARTHER AWAY FROM THE
COAST WITH TIME. HOWEVER, THERE COULD BE A FEW STORMS TUESDAY THAT
PRODUCE LOCALLY STRONG WINDS. 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 THROUGH TUESDAY AS THE GRADIENT FLOW JUST OFF THE
COAST STRENGTHENS A BIT BEFORE DIMINISHING SOME EITHER TUESDAY NIGHT
OR WEDNESDAY. THEREFORE, THE SEAS MAY DROP BELOW 5 FEET ON THE OCEAN
MAINLY WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. GIVEN LOWER CONFIDENCE ON THE SEAS,
WE OPTED TO KEEP THE END TIME OF THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY AT 22Z
TUESDAY FOR NOW. THE CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED TO REMAIN BELOW
ADVISORY CRITERIA ON DELAWARE BAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE NEW
JERSEY COASTAL PLAIN. SINCE THERE IS SOME QUESTION ON THE
LOCATION/DURATION OF THE HEAVIER RAIN AXIS, WE DID NOT EXTEND THE
WATCH THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT AND INTO THE DAY TUESDAY.

GIVEN THE RATHER WET MONTH OF JUNE EXPERIENCED ACROSS MOST OF THE
AREA AND THE POTENTIAL FOR REPEATED AND FOCUSED HEAVY RAIN
PRODUCING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, THIS COULD BE A LOCALLY SERIOUS
SITUATION ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WITH CONCERNS ALONG SMALL STREAMS
AND LOW LYING VULNERABLE AREAS. PLAN FOR POSSIBLE TRAVEL DELAYS
AND DETOURS IF FLOODING DEVELOPS.

THERE STILL REMAINS SOME QUESTION ON THE MAIN LOCATION OF THE MORE
FOCUSED HEAVY RAINFALL, BUT IT APPEARS THE I-95 CORRIDOR AND
ESPECIALLY POINTS TO THE WEST ARE OF MORE CONCERN. A SURFACE BOUNDARY
WILL BE CLOSER TO THESE AREAS THROUGH AT LEAST TODAY BEFORE IT
SHIFTS WESTWARD AND EVENTUALLY BECOMES LESS DEFINED. IN ADDITION,
ELEVATION TENDS TO ADD SOME EXTRA LIFT AND WITH THE SOUTHERLY FLOW
TRAINING CONVECTION MAY SET UP SHOP IN THESE AREAS.

THE HEAVIEST RAIN WILL LEAD TO FLOODING AS THE ENVIRONMENT IS PRIMED
FOR EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCING CORES, COMBINED WITH MANY AREAS OF
RATHER LOW 1-HOUR FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE. AS OF NOW, NO MAINSTEM
RIVER FLOODING IS OUTLOOKED.

&&

.RIP CURRENTS...
A MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS IS BEING FCST TODAY FOR THE NJ AND
DE BEACHES.
