AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
402 AM EST WED DEC 24 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY THIS MORNING WILL LIFT UP
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION TONIGHT AND THEN INTO CANADA ON
THURSDAY. AN ATTACHED COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA THURSDAY
MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT AND
REMAIN THROUGH SATURDAY. ANOTHER LOW WILL MOVE NORTH OF THE AREA
SATURDAY NIGHT WITH A COLD FRONT CROSSING OUR REGION. WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE WILL MOVE IN SUNDAY...FOLLOWED BY A FEW WEAK DISTURBANCES
FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
THE LEADING EDGE OF THE RAIN BUILDING UP FROM THE SOUTHWEST WAS
THROUGH READING, PHILADELPHIA AND ATLANTIC CITY BY 300 AM. THE RAIN
WILL CONTINUE TO OVERSPREAD THE REMAINDER OF EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA
AND CENTRAL AND NORTHERN NEW JERSEY BEFORE DAYBREAK.

MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO STREAM UP INTO OUR REGION FROM THE
SOUTHWEST THROUGHOUT THE DAY. IT WILL REMAIN OVERCAST WITH RAIN. THE
RAIN WILL BECOME MODERATE TO HEAVY AT TIMES. BASED ON THE LATEST
GUIDANCE, IT APPEARS AS THOUGH RAINFALL TOTALS THROUGH THIS EVENING
SHOULD RANGE FROM 0.50 TO 1.25 INCHES IN OUR REGION. WE ARE
ANTICIPATING LOCALIZED FLOODING IN AREAS OF POOR DRAINAGE. A FEW
SMALL STREAMS MAY GO OUT OF THEIR BANKS BUT THE POTENTIAL DOES NOT
APPEAR WIDESPREAD ENOUGH TO WARRANT A WATCH. BASED ON ANTECEDENT
CONDITIONS, OUR MAIN STEM RIVERS SHOULD BE FINE.

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE LOCATED OVER ATLANTIC CANADA EARLY THIS
MORNING WILL CONTINUE TO LOSE ITS INFLUENCE OVER OUR REGION. A WARM
FRONT IS EXPECTED TO LIFT GRADUALLY INTO SOUTHERN DELAWARE AND
SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY FROM THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST THIS MORNING. THE
BOUNDARY IS FORECAST TO REACH THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND OUR NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES EARLY THIS EVENING. THE WIND
IN ADVANCE OF THE WARM FRONT SHOULD FAVOR THE NORTHEAST AND EAST
AROUND 5 TO 10 MPH. THE WIND IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT TO THE SOUTHEAST
AND SOUTH IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT AND SPEEDS ARE ANTICIPATED TO
INCREASE TO AROUND 10 MPH. LOCALIZED GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 20 MPH ARE
POSSIBLE.

TEMPERATURES WILL START THE DAY IN THE 40S AND THEY ARE FORECAST TO
RISE INTO THE 50S AFTER THE WARM FRONT PASSES. IT CONTINUES TO
APPEAR AS THOUGH SOME LOCATIONS ON THE UPPER DELMARVA AND IN
SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY WILL REACH THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 60S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM THURSDAY/...
THE RAIN WILL CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM
THE WEST. A SOUTHERLY WIND AROUND 10 TO 15 MPH WITH GUSTS INTO THE
20S IS EXPECTED. THE SOUTHERLY FLOW SHOULD KEEP TEMPERATURES IN THE
MILD 50S UNTIL THE COLD FRONT ARRIVES.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDER FOR TONIGHT
AHEAD OF AND WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE.

THE STRONG COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO SWEEP FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS
OUR REGION BETWEEN ABOUT 200 AM AND 400 AM. THE RAIN IS FORECAST TO
START COMING TO AN END AROUND THAT TIME AS DRY AIR BEGINS TO PUSH
INTO OUR REGION FROM THE WEST. RAINFALL TOTALS FOR THE ENTIRE EVENT
FROM TODAY INTO TONIGHT ARE ANTICIPATED TO RANGE FROM 0.75 TO 1.75
INCHES IN OUR REGION.

THE WIND IS FORECAST TO SHIFT TO THE WEST AFTER THE COLD FRONT
PASSES. THE WIND SHOULD BECOME GUSTY AND TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED
TO BEGIN FALLING A BIT AT THAT TIME. HOWEVER, THE AIR BEHIND THE
FRONT IS NOT PARTICULARLY COLD SO THE DROP SHOULD BE ONLY A FEW
DEGREES.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE STORM SYSTEM THAT AFFECTED THE AREA DURING THE NEAR AND SHORT
TERM PARTS OF THE FORECAST WILL BE MOVING AWAY FROM THE AREA
THURSDAY MORNING. A COUPLE LINGERING SHOWERS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
POCONOS AND/OR THE SHORE AREAS FOR THE MORNING IS PROBABLY THE ONLY
PRECIP OUR AREA WILL SEE THURSDAY. IT WILL BE BREEZY AND COOLER
(THAN WEDNESDAY)...WITH HIGHS THURSDAY IN THE MID/UPPER 40S NORTH
AND LOW/MID 50S SOUTH/EAST. WELL ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS FOR LATE
DECEMBER.

TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL FOR FRIDAY AND INTO SATURDAY
AS UPPER RIDGING AND SFC HIGH PRESSURE AFFECT THE AREA. HIGHS FRI
WILL BE A FEW DEGREES COOLER THAN THURSDAY...AND READINGS SAT WILL
STILL BE IN THE UPPER 40S OR LOW 50S FOR MUCH OF THE REGION.

MORE UNSETTLED CONDITIONS ARE SLATED FOR SUNDAY AND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK. A LOW AND FRONT MOVE NORTH OF THE AREA SAT NIGHT AND SUNDAY.
ITS ASSOCIATED FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA EARLY SUNDAY. THE FRONT
THEN STALLS SOUTH OF THE AREA...WHILE A FEW WEAK WAVES OF LOW
PRESSURE MOVE ALONG IT. WE WENT ALONG WITH THE WPC TEMPS/POPS FOR
THESE PERIODS WITH MUCH UNCERTAINTY WITH FCSTS THIS FAR INTO THE
FUTURE. TEMPS WILL BE A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL SUN/MON AND CLOSE TO
NORMAL TUE.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

IFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST IN OUR REGION FOR TODAY INTO TONIGHT.
PERIODS OF RAIN WILL CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT AND THE RAIN WILL BECOME
MODERATE TO HEAVY AT TIMES.

A LOW LEVEL SOUTH SOUTHWEST JET IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE
COASTAL PLAIN FOR TODAY AND IT SHOULD REMAIN THERE INTO TONIGHT. AS
A RESULT, WE HAVE CONTINUED THE MENTION OF LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AT
KTTN, KPNE, KPHL, KILG, KMIV AND KACY. BOTH KRDG AND KABE ARE
FORECAST TO BE BEYOND THE FRINGE OF THE STRONG WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH
THE LOW LEVEL JET.

THE SURFACE WIND IS EXPECTED TO FAVOR THE NORTHEAST AND EAST AROUND
4 TO 8 KNOTS UNTIL A WARM FRONT LIFTS SLOWLY THROUGH OUR REGION FROM
THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST. THE WARM FRONT SHOULD ARRIVE AT KACY AND
KMIV THIS MORNING. IT IS FORECAST TO REACH KILG, KPHL AND KPNE
DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE WARM FRONT IS NOT ANTICIPATED AT KRDG,
KABE AND KTTN UNTIL EARLY THIS EVENING. AFTER THE WARM FRONT PASSES,
THE WIND DIRECTION SHOULD FAVOR THE SOUTH AT SPEEDS AROUND 8 TO 12
KNOTS. LOCALIZED GUSTS OF GREATER THAN 20 KNOTS ARE POSSIBLE.

ISOLATED THUNDER MAY OCCUR OVERNIGHT IN ADVANCE OF A STRONG COLD
FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. HOWEVER, THE CONFIDENCE IN MUCH
MORE THAN SOME STRAY LIGHTNING AND THUNDER IS LOW SO WE HAVE NOT
MENTIONED IT IN THE TAFS AT THIS TIME.

THE STRONG COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO SWEEP ACROSS OUR REGION FROM
WEST TO EAST BETWEEN ABOUT 0700Z AND 0900Z ON THURSDAY. THE WIND IS
EXPECTED TO SHIFT TO THE WEST AND CEILING AND VISIBILITY VALUES WILL
LIKELY BEGIN TO IMPROVE AS THE PRECIPITATION COMES TO AN END.

OUTLOOK...
THU...CONDITIONS IMPROVING TO VFR DURING THE MORNING. GUSTY W/NW WINDS.
THU NGT THRU SAT NGT...MOSTLY VFR. LINGERING GUSTY WNDS THU EVE.
SUN...LOWER CIGS/VSBYS POSSIBLE. A CHANCE OF SHOWERS.

&&

.MARINE...
A WARM FRONT FROM THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST WILL LIFT ACROSS THE
COASTAL WATERS OF DELAWARE AND NEW JERSEY THIS MORNING. A NORTHEAST
TO EAST WIND AROUND 5 TO 10 KNOTS IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT TO THE
SOUTHEAST AND SOUTH AND IT WILL LIKELY INCREASE TO 10 TO 20 KNOTS
WITH GUSTS UP TO 25 OR 30 KNOTS. WAVE HEIGHTS ON OUR OCEAN WATERS
WILL BEGIN TO BUILD AGAIN, RANGING MAINLY IN THE 5 TO 7 FOOT RANGE.
THE STIFF SOUTHERLY WIND IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT. A
STRONG COLD FRONT FROM THE WEST IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE BETWEEN ABOUT
300 AM AND 500 AM. THE WIND IS ANTICIPATED TO SHIFT TO THE WEST AT
THAT TIME.

A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR OUR OCEAN WATERS FOR
TODAY AND TONIGHT. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY GOES INTO EFFECT AT 100 PM
FOR DELAWARE BAY.

OUTLOOK...
THU AND THU NIGHT...SCA CONDITIONS SOUTH AND LOW END GALES
  POSSIBLE NORTH. WINDS/SEAS DIMINISHING LATER THU NIGHT.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
TIDAL DEPARTURES ALONG THE COASTS OF NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE
REMAINED IN THE +1.1 TO +1.3 RANGE EARLY THIS MORNING. THE CONTINUED
ONSHORE FLOW SHOULD NOT ALLOW THEM TO DECREASE BEFORE THIS MORNING'S
HIGH TIDE. AS A RESULT, WE ANTICIPATE ANOTHER ROUND OF MINOR TIDAL
FLOODING THIS MORNING. A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR
THE COASTAL AREAS OF NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE, INCLUDING DELAWARE
BAY, AND IT IS IN EFFECT FROM 800 AM UNTIL 100 PM.
