AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
347 PM EDT MON SEP 2 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST AND
THROUGH THE AREA ON TUESDAY MORNING. A HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL
BRIEFLY BUILD OVER THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY. A RE-ENFORCING COLD FRONT
SHOULD MOVE ACROSS THE AREA ON THURSDAY FOLLOWED BY A CENTRAL
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM FOR THE END OF THE WEEK. ANOTHER
COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PASS THROUGH THE NORTHEAST ON SUNDAY
WITH ANOTHER CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM FOLLOWING ON MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
T CERTAINLY HAS BEEN AN INTERESTING MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON
ACRS THE REGION.  IT SEEMED LIKE THE PHL METRO AREA WAS WHERE MOST
OF THE DEVELOPMENT GOT STARTED AND THEN WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF
BOUNDARIES AROUND, THERE WAS MORE DEVELOPMENT AND MORE.  NOW, PRECIP
IN THESE LOCATIONS SEEMS TO HAVE WOUND DOWN WHILE THERE IS AN
INCREASE ACRS THE N, ASSOCD WITH ANOTHER S/WV.

AS THIS S/WV MOVES ACRS THE AREA EXPECT ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT, BUT
THE QUESTION REMAINS HOW MUCH AND WHERE.  WILL THE AFOREMENTIONED
ACTIVITY FROM EARLIER, AND THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING PUT THE
KIBOSH ON MORE ORGANIZED DEVELOPMENT FURTHER S?  WILL CONTINUED
CLOUD COVER IN THESE LOCATIONS ALSO PREVENT FURTHER STORMS?  LATEST
STLT IMAGERY SHOWED CLEARING NOT TOO FAR TO THE W.  SO FOR NOW, WILL
MAINTAIN SOME LIKELY POPS THRU LATE AFTN AND THEN GRADUALLY DECREASE
TO CHC THU ERLY EVE AND THEN FURTHER DECREASE INTO THE NIGHT.  A
CDFNT WILL CROSS THE REGION SLOWLY FROM W TO E OVERNIGHT AND END THE
PRECIP THREAT.

HOWEVER, THE CONTINUED CLOUD COVER, RAIN AND SHORTER SEPTEMBER DAYS
HAVE NECESSITATED A SIGNIFICANT DROP IN MAX TEMPS TODAY.  MOST
LOCATIONS HAVE STRUGGLED IN THE LOW-MID 70S, AND WE'RE CERTAINLY
PAST PEAK HEATING AT THIS TIME OF YEAR.

AS HAS BEEN THE CASE ALL DAY, ANY SHOWER OR STORM COULD BRING
LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
A MUCH BETTER DAY IS IN STORE ON TUESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN
FROM THE W.  SOME GUID INDICATES THERE COULD BE SOME LINGERING
PRECIP IN THE MRNG (MAINLY DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE FRONT), BUT
QPF WILL BE LIGHT.  SO, FOR NOW WILL KEEP SLIGHT CHCS ERLY AND THEN
NO POPS FOR THE AFTN/EVE, BUT CERTAINLY NOTHING LIKE TODAY.  WITH
MORE SUNSHINE, EXPECT TEMPS TO REBOUND INTO THE MID-UPPER 80S,
HOWEVER, IT WILL BE NOTICEABLY MORE COMFORTABLE WITH DEW POINTS
FALLING THRU THE 60S AND EVEN INTO THE 50S BY MID-LATE AFTN.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE GFS INITIALIZATION CONTINUES TO BE SHARPER THAN THE WRF-NMMB.
OVERALL THIS 12Z MODEL RUN WAS PRETTY CONSISTENT WITH RECENT
PREVIOUS RUNS AND THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS WERE OVERALL FAIRLY
CLOSE. PLEASE REFER TO PMDHMD AS THE OP GFS RUN IS CLOSE TO THE
MODEL CONSENSUS MEAN AND WILL BE GIVEN HIGHER WEIGHT THAN AVERAGE.
THE HIGHEST IMPACTING WEATHER IS IN THE NEAR AND SHORT TERM WITH
GENERALLY DRY WEATHER WITH AROUND SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES RETURNING.
THERE WILL BE A PAIR OF COLD FRONTAL PASSAGES, BUT BOTH LOOK TO
HAVE A MINIMAL IMPACT AT THIS JUNCTURE.

TUESDAY NIGHT WILL CONTINUE THE FIRST LEG DOWNWARD OF TEMPERATURES
AND DEW POINTS IN THE LONG TERM. THE LONG WAVE TROF IS YET TO CLEAR
OUR CWA AT THE START OF THE EVENING, SO WE CONTINUED THE IDEA WITH
PVA INTO PART OF THE NIGHT OF KEEPING SOME CLOUDINESS PRESENT IN
THE HIGHER TERRAIN NORTH. THE OVERALL GRADIENT IS FORECAST TO
WEAKEN AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH THE NIGHT. DONT KNOW IF THIS IS
GOING TO BE THE CASE WITH THE DNVA 2ND HALF OF THE NIGHT. THUS WE
WILL OPT FOR SLIGHTLY MORE MIXING AND THUS AN AVERAGE OF STAT
GUIDANCE FOR MIN TEMPERATURES.

THE NEXT HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM SHOULD BE CRESTING OUR AREA ON
WEDNESDAY. FORECAST MOISTURE IS EXTREMELY MEAGER AND THE FCST
CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURE IS IN THE 100S. PLENTY OF SUNSHINE EXPECTED.
STAT GUIDANCE LOOKS PRETTY GOOD GIVEN FCST 925 MB AND 850MB TEMPS
AND ALSO EXPECTED WARMING ALOFT AS THE DAY CONTINUES.

THE NEXT COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO APPROACH ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS
IS THE REVERSE WHERE MOST OF THE NIGHT SHOULD BE ON THE CLEAR SKIES
AND LIGHTER WINDS. STAT GUIDANCE LOOKS A BIT TOO HIGH (BANKING ON
THE CLOUDS) AND WE WENT BELOW IT.

WE DID KEEP THE THURSDAY FCST DRY WITH THE NEXT CFP. GREATER
CONFIDENCE NORTH THAN SOUTH BASED ON THE CURRENT TIMING OF THE
FRONT. SOUTH THE FORECAST MLCAPE (IF THERE IS ANY DEPENDING UPON
YOUR MODEL OF CHOICE) IS NOT IMPRESSING US AND HAS NOT REACHED THE
POINT WHERE WE ARE UNCOMFORTABLE LEAVING THE GRIDS/FCST DRY. TO
THAT END, THE FORECAST MOISTURE RECOVERY IS NOT ROBUST. THE FCST
JET IS DECENT AS IS THE FCST MID LEVEL QVEC CONVERGENCE, SO WE
WILL HAVE TO MONITOR THE MOISTURE RETURN IN THE DAYS AHEAD AS WE
HAVE MORE CONFIDENCE ON THE FORMER THAN THE LATTER. WE LIKE THE
HIGHER STAT GUIDANCE FOR MAX TEMPS GIVEN THE SLIGHTLY SLOWER
TIMING OF THE CFP.

THEN ANOTHER REINFORCING SHOT OF CANADIAN AIR FOR THE END OF THE
WEEK IS EXPECTED. FRIDAY WILL LIKELY BE RELATIVE TO NORMAL THE
COOLEST DAY OF THE LONG TERM. THERE MAY BE TOO MUCH OF A GRADIENT ON
THU NGT TO TOTALLY DECOUPLE, MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR ON FRIDAY NIGHT IN
WHICH MINS ARE FCST TO BE 5-15F LOWER THAN URBAN AREAS AND LOCALES
RIGHT ALONG THE IMMEDIATE SHORE.

SATURDAY WE SHOULD START MODERATING PRECEDING THE NEXT CFP. THE
SUNDAY CFP DOES NOT LOOK THAT FOREBODING EITHER. POPS WERE BASED ON
AN HPC/CONTINUITY BLEND. ITS A LONG WAY OUT, BUT CURRENTLY DO NOT
SUPPORT THUNDER. WE STAYED CLOSER TO THE HIGH END OF STAT GUIDANCE
BASED ON EXPECTED MAXS ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, SHOULD NOT BE LOWER.
THEN A RETURN OF SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES ON MONDAY. THE UPSHOT
FOR THE LONG TERM, NO DEW POINTS AS HUMID AS THEY HAVE BEEN THE PAST
COUPLE OF DAYS.

&&

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

ALMOST ALL TAF SITES HAVE GONE VFR LATE THIS AFTN AFTER A VERY
DIFFICULT MORNING AND ERLY AFTN!  THE HVY PRECIP AND TSRA ACRS SERN
PA AND SRN NJ THAT WAS IMPACTING A GOOD PORTION OF THE AREA HAS
DISSIPATED OR BECOME MORE ISOLATED. THERE IS A CLUSTER OF STORMS TO
THE NW AND MORE STORMS DEVELOPING BEHIND THAT THAT COULD IMPACT KABE
OR KRDG.  HOWEVER, POP UP STORMS ARE STILL PSBL ANYWHERE, AND LWR
CIGS ARE PSBL AS WELL.   A CDFNT WILL CROSS THE REGION LATE TONIGHT
INTO ERLY TUE MRNG.

WITH THE WET GROUND IN MANY LOCATIONS FROM TODAY'S RAIN, AND DEW
POINT STILL HIGH OVERNIGHT, EXPECT TO SEE SOME LOW CLOUDS AND FOG AT
THE NRMLY AFFECTED LOCATIONS OVERNIGHT.  ITS PSBL THIS CUD BE MORE
WIDESPREAD THAN CURRENTLY FCST AND WILL SEE WHAT LATER DATA
SUGGESTS.

TUESDAY WILL BE A MUCH BETTER DAY!  AFTER THE MRNG, IT SHUD BE VFR
ALL AROUND! A W TO NW WIND IS EXPECTED, WHICH WILL HELP DRY THINGS
OUT WITH SPEEDS GENLY IN THE 10 TO 15 KT RANGE.

OUTLOOK...
TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED. POSSIBLY
SOME FOG RELATED RESTRICTIONS ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY MORNINGS IN
RURAL AIRPORTS.

&&

.MARINE...
RELATIVELY QUIET CONDS ON THE AREA WATERS WITH A SWLY FLOW GENLY 10
KTS OR LESS WITH GUSTS 10 TO 15 KT RANGE.  THE WIND WILL BECOME W
THEN NW AT THE SAME SPEED BY TUE AFTN AS A CDFNT WORKS ITS WAY THRU
THE CSTL WATERS.  SEAS WILL GENLY BE AROUND 3 FT. NO HEADLINES ARE
ANTICIPATED THRU THE NR AND SHORT TERM PDS.

OUTLOOK...
NO SCA CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS WEEK.
WINDS WILL BE GENERALLY NORTHWEST AND SOMEWHAT STRONGER BEHIND
COLD FRONTS ON TUESDAY NIGHT AND AGAIN ON THURSDAY NIGHT, BUT NOT
EXPECTED TO REACH SCA CRITERIA. EVEN LIGHTER WINDS AND LOWER SEAS
EXPECTED AS HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEMS BUILD OVER THE AREA WATERS ON
WEDNESDAY AND SATURDAY.
