* FLOOD WARNING FOR URBAN AREAS AND SMALL STREAMS IN...
  EASTERN BUCKS COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA...

* UNTIL 400 AM EDT THURSDAY

* SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED TO
  CONTINUE TONIGHT. AN ADDITIONAL 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN IS FORECAST
  TO FALL

AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.

EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE ELEVATED LEVELS ON
SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS...AND PONDING OF WATER IN URBAN AREAS...
HIGHWAYS...STREETS AND UNDERPASSES AS WELL AS OTHER POOR DRAINAGE
AREAS AND LOW LYING SPOTS.

BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE
DANGERS OF FLOODING. IF FLOODING IS OBSERVED ACT QUICKLY. MOVE UP TO
HIGHER GROUND TO ESCAPE FLOOD WATERS. DO NOT STAY IN AREAS SUBJECT TO
FLOODING WHEN WATER BEGINS RISING.

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1220 PM EDT WED APR 30 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MEANDER NEAR THE GREAT LAKES REGION TODAY
INTO THURSDAY. A WARM FRONT WILL THEREFORE GRADUALLY LIFT NORTHWARD
ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC STATES TODAY AND TONIGHT. A COLD FRONT IS
THEN FORECAST TO SLIDE ACROSS OUR AREA THURSDAY. AN AREA OF HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS TO OUR SOUTH FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, HOWEVER ANOTHER
COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH OUR REGION SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE GRADUALLY BUILDS IN FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
WILL MAINTAIN THE PERSISTENCE FCST AS THE RADAR IS FILLED WITH
GENLY LIGHT TO MDT RAIN ECHOES ATTM. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW
LIGHTNING STRIKES ACRS THE DELMARVA, BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN
WIDESPREAD OR PERSISTENT. WHILE THE CALENDAR IS ABOUT TO TURN TO
MAY, IT FEELS MORE LIKE EARLY MARCH, WITH JUST ANOTHER DREARY DAY
IN STORE. EXPECT PERIODS OF RAIN, PSBLY TO BECOME MORE SHOWERY
LATER TODAY.  A WARM FRONT WILL SLOWLY WORK ITS WAY N DURG THE DAY.

EVEN IN THE WARM SECTOR HOWEVER, EXPECT THE LOW LEVEL INVERSION TO
PERSIST. THEREFORE, ANY THUNDERSTORMS WILL HAVE TO RELY ON ELEVATED
INSTABILITY WITH PARCELS LIFTED FROM AROUND THE 900 TO 800 MB
LEVELS. EVEN WITH THAT, CAPE VALUES WILL BE MODEST AT
BEST...GENERALLY LESS THAN 200 J/KG. IF ANY STORMS DEVELOP HOWEVER,
THERE IS A SMALL CONCERN THAT WEAK DOWN DRAFTS COULD MIX THE 40KT+
WINDS FROM THE LOW LEVELS DOWN TO THE SURFACE, BUT THIS IS STILL
QUITE UNCERTAIN.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM THURSDAY/...
THROUGH THIS PERIOD, WE WILL SEE THE ARRIVAL OF THE DRY SLOT IN OUR
REGION. HOWEVER, GIVEN THE CONTINUED MOIST SOUTHERLY SURFACE FLOW,
STILL EXPECT AT LEAST LIGHT RAIN TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS. MODEL SOUNDINGS ALSO CONTINUE TO SHOW SOME ELEVATED
INSTABILITY, PRIMARILY IN DELMARVA, THOUGH THE CHANCES FOR
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE ON THE DECREASE AFTER MIDNIGHT AS THE AXIS
OF HIGHEST PWAT VALUES SLIDES OFF SHORE. WITH THE PERSISTENT LOW
LEVEL CLOUD COVER, AND SOUTHERLY FLOW, EXPECT TEMPERATURES TONIGHT
TO ONLY BE A FEW DEGREES BELOW THE HIGHS TODAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC SETUP INITIALLY REVOLVES AROUND A LARGE CLOSED
LOW. THIS FEATURE IS FORECAST TO SLOWLY WEAKEN AS IT LIFTS ACROSS
THE GREAT LAKES REGION AND INTO CANADA THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THIS
WILL DRIVE A COLD FRONT ACROSS OUR REGION, HOWEVER ENERGY HANGING
BACK LOOKS TO MAINTAIN AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH ACROSS THE PLAINS TO
THE GREAT LAKES WHICH THEN SHIFTS EASTWARD SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. THIS
MAY AMPLIFY ONCE AGAIN SUNDAY OR EARLY NEXT WEEK IN THE EAST AS
RIDGING BUILDS ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PLAINS. THE MOST
ORGANIZED PRECIPITATION LOOKS TO BE FEATURED ON THURSDAY AS A COLD
FRONT SHIFTS EASTWARD. WE USED A GENERAL MODEL BLEND THURSDAY
THROUGH SATURDAY, THEN UTILIZED THE 00Z WPC GUIDANCE WITH CONTINUITY
OVERALL.

FOR THURSDAY...A COLD FRONT WILL BE MOVING ACROSS THE REGION. AS
THIS OCCURS, THE LOW-LEVEL JET IS FORECAST TO BE SHIFTING OFFSHORE
EARLY IN THE MORNING. WHILE THIS WILL TEND TO LESSEN THE FORCING AND
DEEPER MOISTURE ADVECTION, ENOUGH FORCING ALONG WITH SOME
INSTABILITY AHEAD OF THE FRONT SHOULD RESULT IN A BAND OF SHOWERS
AND SOME THUNDER. THE POPS WERE THEREFORE INCREASED FOR A TIME
BEFORE DECREASING QUITE A BIT FROM ABOUT MIDDAY ON. IT APPEARS
THAT FROM ABOUT INTERSTATE 95 ON EASTWARD HAS THE GREATEST CHC FOR
SHOWERS AND SOME THUNDER GIVEN THE EASTWARD SHIFTING DEEPER MOISTURE
AND FRONTAL ZONE TIMING. THE INSTABILITY SHOULD BE HELD DOWN DUE TO
ONGOING ACTIVITY TO START, HOWEVER A WARMER AND MOIST AIRMASS WILL
BE IN PLACE. AS OF NOW, ANY SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THREAT LOOKS TO BE
RATHER LOW. GIVEN THE ANTICIPATED RUNOFF AND SHOWERS HANGING ON,
THE FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES THROUGH THE MORNING. A LAG THOUGH IN
THE TRUE CAA POST-FRONTAL WILL ALLOW FOR A WARM DAY ACROSS THE
ENTIRE AREA. OTHERWISE, THE WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST-NORTHWEST
ESPECIALLY LATER IN THE DAY AS THE COLD FRONT WORKS ITS WAY
EASTWARD. THE CLOUDS WILL ALSO START TO ERODE, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT
FROM WEST TO EAST AS DRYING ARRIVES.

FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...OUR WEATHER WILL STILL BE INFLUENCED BY
THE WEAKENING UPPER-LEVEL LOW AS IT TRACKS UP ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN
CANADA. THERE IS ADDITIONAL SHORT WAVE ENERGY TRACKING NORTHEASTWARD
WITHIN THE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT, AND WITH STEEPER LAPSE RATES
AND ENOUGH MOISTURE AND HEATING SOME SHOWERS MAY RESULT ESPECIALLY
EACH AFTERNOON. IT APPEARS THE BEST CHC IS ACROSS THE NORTHWEST
ZONES, ALTHOUGH THIS MAY SPREAD FARTHER SOUTHEASTWARD SOMEWHAT
SATURDAY AS A COLD FRONT ARRIVES LATE IN THE DAY. THE OVERALL
MOISTURE AND FORCING WITH THIS COLD FRONT LOOKS TO BE WEAK,
THEREFORE WE ARE NOT ANTICIPATING MUCH IN THE WAY OF QPF.

FOR SUNDAY...A COLD FRONT LOOKS TO BE CROSSING THE AREA MAINLY
DURING THE MORNING, ALTHOUGH THIS BOUNDARY MAY THEN STALL TO OUR
SOUTH. AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THIS FRONT LOOKS TO LACK DEEP MOISTURE
AND LIFT THEREFORE NOT EXPECTING MUCH WITH IT. THE FLOW IS GENERALLY
WESTERLY WITH THE AIRMASS MODERATING SOME ESPECIALLY FROM THE
SOUTHERN ZONES ON SOUTHWARD. DUE TO SOME ADDED DOWNSLOPING, THE
COASTAL PLAIN ESPECIALLY MAY END UP BEING WARMER.

FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY...A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY LOOKS TO BE
POSITIONED WELL TO OUR SOUTH. AS AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH AMPLIFIES
ACROSS THE NORTHEAST, SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD IN FROM
THE GREAT LAKES MONDAY. THIS SURFACE HIGH SHOULD THEN SLIDE ACROSS
OUR AREA TUESDAY. A DRY FORECAST OVERALL ATTM.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

12Z TAF UPDATE...INCREASING CONFIDENCE IN A LOW LEVEL JET
DEVELOPING BY MID DAY. WITH DIRECTIONAL AND SPEED SHEAR EXPECTED,
HAVE ADDED MENTION OF LLWS TO ALL TAFS FROM MID DAY UNTIL LATE
TONIGHT WHEN THE JET MOVES OFF SHORE. STILL NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE
IN TIMING OR COVERAGE OF THUNDERSTORMS TO INCLUDE MENTION IN THE
TAFS FOR NOW.

PREVIOUS AVIATION DISCUSSION....WIDESPREAD IFR CEILINGS ARE
EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF THE DAY. EXPECT SOME BREAKS IN THE SHRA,
ESPECIALLY THIS MORNING, BUT BY 18Z, EXPECT LOWERING CEILINGS AND
MORE WIDESPREAD SHRA. THERE REMAINS A SMALL RISK FOR TSRA FOR
TERMINALS NEAR AND SOUTH OF KPHL THROUGH THE DAY, AND ALL
TERMINALS AFTER 00Z. HOWEVER, COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO BE VERY
LIMITED, SO HAVE NOT MENTIONED IN THE TAFS AT THIS TIME.

WINDS WILL BE BREEZY FOR MUCH OF THE TAF PERIOD. SLOWLY SHIFTING
FROM EASTERLY TO SOUTHEASTERLY THROUGH THE DAY.

DRIER AIR SHOULD BEGIN TO MOVE INTO THE REGION AFTER 06Z, SO EXPECT
SLOW IMPROVEMENT LATE TONIGHT.

OUTLOOK...
THURSDAY...IFR/MVFR IMPROVING TO VFR DURING THE AFTERNOON. SHOWERS
WILL CONTINUE, HOWEVER THEY SHOULD BECOME MORE SCATTERED AND A
THUNDERSTORM CANNOT BE RULED OUT. SOUTHWEST WINDS 10 TO 15 KNOTS,
BECOMING WEST-NORTHWEST AT NIGHT AND DIMINISHING SOME.

FRIDAY...OVERALL VFR. A FEW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE AFTERNOON
FROM NEAR KABE TO THE NORTH AND WEST. WEST-SOUTHWEST WINDS GENERALLY
10 TO 15 KNOTS.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...OVERALL VFR. SOME SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE MAINLY
SATURDAY ESPECIALLY NORTH AND WEST OF KPHL AS A COLD FRONT MOVES
THROUGH.

&&

.MARINE...
HAVE OPTED TO EXTEND THE GALE WARNING ON THE NRN WATERS THROUGH
NOON. THINGS MAY COME DOWN A BIT SOONER, BUT HAVE BEEN SLOW TO DO
SO THIS MORNING.

PREVIOUS MARINE DISCUSSION...GALE GUSTS CONTINUE, SO HAVE KEPT THE
GALE WARNING GOING THROUGH 5 AM EDT. AFTER THAT, SCA CONDITIONS
FOR BOTH WINDS AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ALL DAY TODAY AND
OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. ISOLATED GUSTS ABOVE 30KT WILL AGAIN BE
POSSIBLE THIS EVENING.

OUTLOOK...
THURSDAY..GUSTY SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT TO START
SHOULD DIMINISH SOME THROUGH THE DAY, THEN SHIFT TO THE WEST AND
NORTHWEST AT NIGHT. THE SEAS ON THE OCEAN ARE FORECAST TO BE AT OR
ABOVE 5 FEET, THEREFORE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE
ANTICIPATED. THE SEAS MAY DROP BELOW 5 FEET THOUGH LATER AT NIGHT.

FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...THE CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE BELOW
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA. A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH LATE
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY LOOKS TO BE ON THE WEAKER SIDE, WITH MOSTLY A
WIND SHIFT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
SO FAR, RAIN HAS BEEN LIGHT AND/OR INTERMITTENT ENOUGH THAT WE
HAVEN'T SEEN ANY FLOODING ISSUES OR SIGNIFICANT RISES ON SMALL
STREAMS. HOWEVER, THE HEAVIEST RAIN IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE DAY
TODAY INTO THIS EVENING, SO THE FLOODING THREAT REMAINS. THE BIGGEST
CHANGE WITH THE PREVIOUS FORECAST IS THAT THE AXIS OF HIGHEST QPF
AND HEAVIEST RAINS LOOKS TO STAY WELL WEST OF THE I-95 CORRIDOR. AND
WITH THIS SHIFT FURTHER WEST, DAY 1 QPF FOR OUR REGION IS NOW
EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 1 TO 3 INCH RANGE. HOWEVER, AS HAS BEEN
MENTIONED BY PREVIOUS SHIFTS, THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY AS
TO WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAIN WILL SET UP.

MUCH HIGHER THAN NORMAL PWAT VALUES, MOIST LOW LEVEL JET, AND A DEEP
WARM CLOUD LAYER WILL ALL BE IN PLACE LATER TODAY AS THE WARM FRONT
MOVES INTO OUR REGION. THUS, HAVE CONTINUED WITH THE FLOOD WATCH
GENERALLY FOR LOCATIONS ALONG AND WEST OF THE I-95 CORRIDOR.

FOR DETAILED INFORMATION REGARDING FLOOD POTENTIAL ALONG SPECIFIC
STREAMS AND RIVERS, PLEASE REFERENCE THE AHPS WEBSITE.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
WILL ISSUE A CF ADVISORY FOR DEL BAY AS LEVELS WILL BE CLOSE OR
SLIGHTLY OVER WITH THE AFTN HIGH TIDE.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORIES REMAIN IN EFFECT
FOR THE TIDAL DELAWARE RIVER AND THE CHESAPEAKE BAY.

FOR THE MOST PART THE HIGH TIDE CYCLE THAT JUST HAPPENED SHOULD BE
THE HIGHEST TIDES WE WILL SEE THROUGH THIS STORM SYSTEM. THE
EXCEPTION TO THIS IS THE CHESAPEAKE BAY, WHICH MAY SEE COASTAL
FLOODING FOR THE NEXT 3 HIGH TIDE CYCLES, THANKS TO FLOW TURNING
MORE SOUTHERLY THROUGH THE DAY TODAY.

FOR THE ATLANTIC COASTAL, DELAWARE BAY, AND TIDAL DELAWARE RIVER
LOCATIONS, ADDITIONAL COASTAL FLOODING IS UNLIKELY, BUT FRESH WATER
RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAIN TODAY COULD INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR MINOR
TIDAL FLOODING ESPECIALLY ALONG THE DELAWARE RIVER.
