AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
619 AM EDT SUN SEP 1 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
SOUTHERLY WINDS AROUND THE BERMUDA HIGH WILL MAINTAIN WARM, MUGGY
AND SUMMER-LIKE CONDITIONS OVER THE AREA FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS AT TIMES.
THEN A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST WILL CROSS THE AREA ON
TUESDAY, FOLLOWED BY COOLER AND DRIER HIGH PRESSURE FOR TUESDAY
NIGHT THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. A RE-ENFORCING COOL FRONT
ON THURSDAY SHOULD HAVE LITTLE OR NO ASSOCIATED PRECIPITATION.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
SHORTWAVE ENERGY CONTINUES TO PULL EASTWARD THROUGH THE REGION AS
PATCHES OF STORMS INITIATE EARLY THIS MORNING NORTH OF THE METRO
AREA. WEAK COLD POOL ALOFT, COMBINED WITH THE ANOMALOUS PWAT
CONTENT IS ALLOWING FOR DECENT CHARGE SEPARATION IN SOME OF THE
STORMS AND DROPPING SEVERAL CG-STRIKES. THAT BEING SAID THE
CONTINUED LACK OF SHEAR REMAINS THE INHIBITING FACTOR FOR THE
LONGEVITY OF THESE STORMS SO PULSE IS STILL THE PREFERRED MODE.
ALREADY SEEING SOME REPORTS OF UPWARDS OF AN INCH OR TWO DUMPING
FROM THESE STORMS, MAINLY ACROSS CENTRAL NEW JERSEY, WITHIN THE
PAST HOUR OR TWO.

EVEN IF THE STORMS DO NOT AFFECT YOUR AREA FOG AND LOWER STRATUS
WILL THOUGH IT WILL BEGIN TO BURN OFF AND SCATTER OUT BY THE LATE
MORNING HOURS GIVING WAY TO PLENTY OF SUNSHINE. WE COULD HAVE A
PRIMARILY DRY FORECAST AREAS SOUTH AND EAST OF THE METRO AREA AS
WE TRY TO TIME THE ARRIVAL OF THE NEXT SHORTWAVE BEARING DOWN ON
THE REGION. THE TIMING OF THE IMPULSES HAS PROVEN VERY HARD TO
DEFINE EVEN WITHIN A 12 TO 24 HOUR WINDOW. THAT BEING SAID, SEEING
THAT SYNOPTICALLY WE HAVE NOT ALTERED OUR FLOW TOO MUCH, WOULD
THINK THAT AN ARRIVAL BY THE LATE EVENING HOURS SEEMS REASONABLE
AND ONCE AGAIN OUR NORTHERN ZONES HAVE THE BEST CHANCES FOR THE
SHOWERS.

MODEST SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY MAY BE CUT-OFF BY THE TIME THE
SHOWERS AND INITIAL CONVECTION REACH OUR ZONES. PWATS WILL STILL BE
ABSURDLY LARGE AND GIVEN THE WEAKER FLOW THAT WILL BE IN PLACE
EXPECT THE STORMS BE TO SLOWER MOVERS AND DUMP QUITE A BIT OF WATER.

A BLEND OF THE MET/MAV WAS USED AGAIN THIS MORNING GIVING WAY TO
HIGHS ABOUT 4 TO 5 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL BUT STILL NOT 90.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE MUCH IN THE SAME AS LAST NIGHT THOUGH
THERE COULD BE SCATTERED CONVECTION IN PLACE AT THE START OF THE
OVERNIGHT PERIOD. BETTER MID-LEVEL IMPULSE CROSSES OVER THE LAKES
TONIGHT AND PEGS A FEW BULLS-EYES ACROSS OUR NORTHERN ZONES IN
TERMS OF CONVECTION AND QPFS. A STRONG FLOW STILL DOES NOT EXIST
ALOFT SO ANY OF THE STORMS THAT DO FORM TONIGHT WILL BE SLOW TO
MOVE THROUGH.

THE LIGHT SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL ONCE AGAIN PRODUCE STRATUS AND FOG
LATE TONIGHT. THIS WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO REMAIN QUITE ELEVATED
AGAIN WITH LOWS DIPPING INTO THE LOW-70S IN A LOT OF SPOTS.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THE EXTENDED PERIOD STARTS WITH A SHRTWV TROF DIGGING SEWD THRU
THE GRTLKS ON MONDAY AND THEN ACROSS THE MID- ATLANTIC RGN ON
TUESDAY. THE ASSOCD COLD FRONT WILL EXTEND APPROX FROM THE LOWER
GRTLKS TO THE LOWER OH VLY MONDAY MORNING AND WILL MOVE EWD TO
REACH SOMEWHERE INVOF NJ BY TUESDAY MORNING. THE AMS AHEAD OF THE
FRONT ON MONDAY WILL REMAIN QUITE MOIST AND SHOULD BECOME SMWHAT
UNSTABLE BY MONDAY AFTN...DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH SFC HEATING CAN
OCCUR. FCST MAX TEMPS ARE UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90 AND MAX CAPE IS
FCST AROUND 2000 J/KG. A SFC TROF IS EXPECTED TO DVLP N-S ACROSS
THE FCST AREA ON MONDAY WHICH WILL PROMOTE LOW- LVL CONVERGENCE
AND TSTM DEVELOPMENT. A FEW SVR TSTMS ARE POSSIBLE MONDAY AFTN
INTO THE EVENING...ALTHO THE BIGGER THREAT MAY WELL BE HEAVY RAIN
AND POSSIBLY SOME FLOODING.

ON TUESDAY MORNING THE FRONT SHOULD BE MOVG W TO E ACROSS NJ AND
VCNTY. BECAUSE OF ITS RATHER SLOW MOVEMENT SOME SHRA AND TSRA
ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE DURING THE DAY...HWVR POPS SHOULD
BE DIMINISHING W TO E DURING THE DAY WITH HIGHER POPS GENLY S/E OF
PHL AND ALONG THE COASTAL AREAS. EXPECT ALL PRECIP SHOULD BE ENDED
BY LATE TUES AFTN. WITH COOLER AND DRIER AIR MOVING IN BEHIND THE
FRONT...MAX TEMPS ON TUES WILL BE SMWHT LOWER THAN MONDAY...AND WITH
MORE OF A GRADIENT FROM SE TO NW. OVERNIGHT MIN TEMPS TUES NIGHT
WILL BE 10 TO 15 DEG F COOLER AS THE NEW AMS PUSHES IN WITH FULL
FORCE.

THE FORECAST FOR WED AND BEYOND WAS NOT ALTERED MUCH AS IT LOOKS TO
BE DRY WITH NW FLOW ALOFT. ANOTHER COLD FRONT IS FCST TO MOVE ACROSS
THE AREA FROM N TO S ON THURSDAY BUT ATTM IT APPEARS THAT AVAILABLE
MOISTURE WILL BE RATHER SPARSE SO THERE IS NO MENTION OF PRECIP IN
THE FCST.

&&

.AVIATION /10Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THIS MORNING - THIS EVENING...ONCE AGAIN WE WILL HAVE ISSUES WITH
EARLY MORNING FOG AND STRATUS. IT APPEARS WE WILL NOT EXPERIENCE THE
DURATION OR LOW-NESS OF THE STRATUS THAT WE HAD ON SATURDAY MORNING
DUE TO DRIER AIR THAT HAS WORKED IN ALOFT. THAT BEING SAID STRATUS
SHOULD BE MORE WIDESPREAD THAN 24 HOURS AGO AND WITH THE ADDED
MOISTURE FROM LAST EVENING'S SHOWERS, A DENSER FOG COULD FORM AT THE
TERMINALS THAT RECEIVED THE RAIN.

THE TAFS MAY BE A TOUCH TOO PESSIMISTIC THIS MORNING, KEEPING THE
THE STRATUS THROUGH THE LATE MORNING HOURS. THE AIRMASS IN PLACE
CONTINUES TO BE VERY SOUPY AND WITH THE LIGHT SOUTHERLY FLOW IT MAY
TAKE A BIT LONGER TO LIFT AND SCATTER THE CIGS OUT. ONCE DOING SO WE
SHOULD REMAIN VFR WITH POSSIBLY SOME LATE EVENING SHOWERS PUSHING IN
FROM THE WEST-NORTHWEST AGAIN.

TONIGHT...WITH NO CHANGE TO THE AIRMASS, THOUGH WINDS SHOULD VEER
MORE TOWARDS THE SOUTH SLIGHTLY SOUTHEAST A BIT MORE LATER TONIGHT,
FOG AND STRATUS SHOULD CONTINUE TO PLAGUE A MAJORITY OF OUR TERMINALS.
THOUGHT IT WAS TOO EARLY TO BRING CONDITIONS DOWN OVERNIGHT BUT IT
WOULD TAKE QUITE A BIT OF DRY AIR TO PUSH IN TO KEEP CONDITIONS VFR
TONIGHT...DO NOT EXPECT THAT TO HAPPEN.

OUTLOOK...

MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...GENERALLY VFR BUT WITH SOME LOCAL
CIG/VSBY RESTRICTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

TUESDAY...PREDOMINATELY VFR WITH SOME RESTRICTIONS IN SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. SOME RESTRICTIONS DUE TO FOG POSSIBLE EARLY TUESDAY
MORNING.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
SUB-ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS OUR WATERS TODAY AND
TONIGHT AS WE CONTINUE WITH THE SOUTHERLY WINDS. THIS WILL HELP TO
KEEP SEAS RUNNING AROUND 4 FEET EARLY THIS MORNING BUT AS THE
WINDS BEGIN TO DROP OFF LATER TODAY THE SEAS WILL RELAX A BIT
MORE. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ONCE AGAIN
THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT ACROSS OUR WATERS.

OUTLOOK...
WINDS AND WAVES SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SCA CRITERIA THROUGH THE
COMING WEEK...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF LOCALLY HIGHER WINDS AND SEAS
IN THE VICINITY OF THUNDERSTORMS ON MONDAY AND POSSIBLY TUESDAY.
