Area forecast discussion, Jan 11, 4:08 PM EST, 1 hour 58 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
408 PM EST SAT JAN 11 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
AN INTENSIFYING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE UPPER PENINSULA OF
MICHIGAN WILL MOVE NORTHEAST TOWARD JAMES BAY IN CANADA TODAY. ITS
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL THEN BUILD OVER THE AREA SUNDAY AND MONDAY, FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER
COLD FRONT ON TUESDAY. A SECONDARY COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
THROUGH THE AREA WEDNESDAY WITH A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM POSSIBLY
DEVELOPING ALONG IT NEAR OUR FORECAST AREA. A HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM
FROM THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES WILL THEN NOSE INTO THE REGION ON
THURSDAY. AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA
LATER FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
HEAVIEST RAIN WILL BE ENDING EARLY IN THIS TIME PERIOD.  OVERALL
AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN COMING IN A LITTLE LOWER THAN PREVIOUSLY FORECAST,
WHICH IS GOOD NEWS REGARDING THE OVERALL RIVER LEVELS.  GETTING
SEVERAL REPORTS OF UNUSUALLY HIGH LEVELS OF PONDING WATER,
WHICH IS DUE TO THE FROZEN GROUND.  SOME OF THIS WILL GET INTO THE
WATERWAYS AND MAY CAUSE SOME LOCALIZED FLOODING ISSUES.

SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION ENDS BY 04Z.

FORECAST TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT ARE A MET/MAV BLEND AND VERY LITTLE
CHANGED FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
A BRISK BUT DRY DAY FOR SUNDAY. WITH THE NORTHWEST FLOW OFF ONTARIO
AND AT LEAST A HIGH ENOUGH INVERSION, WE KEPT THE MENTION OF SOME
SNOW FLURRIES FOR THE POCONOS. ELSEWHERE, MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES SHOULD
OCCUR. A MET/MAV GUIDANCE BLEND WAS USED AND RESULTED IN VERY LITTLE
CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
WITH THE ON-GOING AND MONITORING THE RIVER LEVELS DID NOT CHANGE
MUCH BEYOND TUESDAY THOUGH DID BLEND IN SOME NEW 12Z WPC GUIDANCE
WITH OUR PREVIOUS FORECAST.

WE START OFF WITH BUILDING HEIGHTS AND MID-LEVEL RIDGING CONTINUING
TO WORKS ITS WAY IN FROM THE WEST. THIS SHOULD PROVIDE CLEAR SKIES
MONDAY MORNING PROVIDING GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS. WITH
THE HEIGHTS RISING SO DO THE TEMPERATURES...AGAIN. DAYTIME HIGHS
SHOULD BE A FEW DEGREES WARMER THAN ON SUNDAY...STILL NEARLY 10
DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL SO OUR THAWING WILL CONTINUE AND WE WILL REMAIN
DRY.

AS FOR NOW, WITH THE NEXT SYSTEM EXPECTED TO ENTER FROM THE WEST
LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY, THE MID-LEVEL FLOW STILL KEEPS US
UNDER ITS SOUTHWEST INFLUENCE ALLOWING FOR BETTER MOISTURE ADVECTION
AND WARMER TEMPERATURES. AS THE FRONT NEARS RAIN WILL OVERSPREAD
FROM THE SOUTHWEST WITH STRONGER THETA-E ADVECTION AND THEN THE COLD
FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH. THE MID-LEVEL WAVELENGTH APPEARS RATHER LONG
AND THUS A QUICK EXIT IS EXPECTED WITH THIS SYSTEM.

THERE SHOULD BE A PCPN BREAK ON TUESDAY NIGHT BEFORE THE NEXT COLD
FRONT ARRIVES ON WEDNESDAY. HERE A MAJORITY OF THE GUIDANCE SHOWS
MORE OF A POSITIVE TILT TO THE TROUGHING AS IT NEARS FROM THE
WEST-NORTHWEST, THOUGH THE STRENGTH OF THE SYSTEM IS VARIABLE FROM
THE GFS TO THE EC TO THE NHGEM. AGAIN THE MID-LEVEL WAVELENGTH
APPEARS TO BE TOO LONG AND THE QUESTION THEN BECOMES CAN ENOUGH
ENERGY BE PUMPED INTO THE BACKSIDE OF THE TROUGH TO HELP IT SHARPEN
AND CUT ITS WAVELENGTH IN HALF...DOWNSTREAM BLOCKING DOES NOT SEEM
TO HELP THIS A QUICKER SHARPENING. THIS IS FAR FROM BEING ETCHED IN
STONE AND THIS ONE WOULD BE COLD ENOUGH TO HAVE SOME SNOW OCCUR.

AFTER THIS LOW DEPARTS, HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION.
WHILE TEMPERATURES SHOULD RETURN CLOSER TO NORMAL, THIS HIGH'S
ORIGIN IS FROM THE PACIFIC. SO UNLIKE LAST WEEK'S VERSION, THIS AIR
MASS HAS MORE OF ITS COLDNESS (RELATIVE TO NORMAL) IN THE UPPER HALF
OF THE TROPOSPHERE. THE NEXT COLD FRONT IS SCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY.
THIS ONE MAY BE MOISTURE STARVED. BUT THE ENSUING HIGH BEHIND THIS
FRONT IS COMING FROM WESTERN CANADA AND WILL BRING EVEN COLDER AIR
BACK INTO THE REGION. PLEASE DONT CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

POOR FLYING CONDITIONS AT TAF SITES LATE THIS AFTERNOON AS GENERAL

COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH THE AREA.

TONIGHT...THE COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE DELAWARE VALLEY 00Z-02Z AND THE
OFF THE COAST 02Z-04Z. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO WRLY AND REMAIN GUSTY
FOLLOWING THE FRONT. THE SHOWERS WILL END FROM W TO E AND THEN
CIGS/VSBYS WILL IMPROVE BACK TO VFR A FEW HOURS AFTER FROPA. SKIES
MAY IMPROVE BACK TO FEW/SCT BY DAWN SUNDAY.

SUNDAY...VFR. WEST-NORTHWEST WINDS 15-20 KNOTS AND GUSTY.

OUTLOOK...

.HYDROLOGY...
CONTINUED THREAT OF RIVER FLOODING, AND FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN

WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SOAK INTO THE GROUND.

OVERALL RAINFALL TOTALS LOOK LIKE THEY WILL BE A LITTLE LOWER THAN
PREVIOUSLY FORECAST, GOOD NEWS FOR GENERAL RIVER LEVELS.  ICE JAM
FLOODING REMAINS A WILD CARD AND WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY FOR
THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND.
