Special Weather Statement, NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
338 PM EST THU FEB 13 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE, TRACKING JUST EAST OF THE DELAWARE AND NEW JERSEY
COASTS THROUGH THIS EVENING, WILL INTENSIFY AS IT MOVES TO NEAR
COASTAL NEW ENGLAND TOWARD DAYBREAK FRIDAY. A COLD FRONT THEN
ARRIVES FRIDAY NIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE TRACKS ALONG IT THROUGH
SATURDAY MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO OUR REGION SUNDAY AND
MONDAY. THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL THEN ARRIVE TUESDAY, WITH
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN WEDNESDAY BEFORE SHIFTING OFFSHORE
THURSDAY. A WARM FRONT MAY THEN APPROACH FROM THE SOUTHWEST THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
UNNECESSARY TRAVEL NOT RECOMMENDED TONIGHT BECAUSE OF HEAVY SNOWFALL
RATES DURING THE SECOND AND FINAL PHASE OF THIS WINTER STORM.

THE COASTAL LOW ITSELF AT 3 PM WAS VERY NEAR THE DELAWARE BAY BUOY.
PROPS TO THE ECMWF SOLUTION THAT PEGGED THE TRACK THE BEST
THROUGHOUT. WHILE WE ARE HANDING OUT PROPS, THE WRF-NMMB FGEN FIELDS
DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF PREDICTING THIS FRONT END BURST YESTERDAY,
THEIR QPF THRU 12Z WAS MUCH CLOSER THAN ANY OTHER MODEL.

THE SECOND PHASE OF THE WINTER STORM IS EXPECTED TO BRING ANOTHER
ROUND OF HEAVY ACCUMULATING SNOW INTO OUR CWA THIS EVENING. WE CAN
SEE THE CONVECTION BUBBLING IN VIRGINIA. THE CORE OF THE MOST
UNSTABLE AIR (700MB-500MB LAPSE RATES) IS FORECAST TO PASS OFF OUR COAST
UNDER THE CLOSED LOW AND WE FOLLOWED THIS FEATURE TO ADD A CHANCE OF
THUNDER.

ELSEWHERE THE NEGATIVE TILT OF THE CLOSED LOW IS GOING TO PROVIDE
EXCELLENT DIFFLUENCE ALOFT. THIS WILL HELP PROVIDE THE NECESSARY
EXHAUST FOR ANOTHER BURST OF HEAVY PCPN AS THIS FEATURE MOVES
THROUGH MAINLY DURING THIS EVENING.

MODEL TIMING HAS COME CLOSER AS THE ECMWF IS NOW FASTER THAN
YESTERDAY. THERE ARE STILL DIFFERENCES AS TO THE HEAVIEST HIT AXIS
FROM THIS SNOW (GENERALLY AFTER 7PM AN ADDITIONAL 2 TO 6 INCHES)
WITH THE ECMWF FURTHEST EAST. WE TOOK A MODEL BLEND CONSENSUS WITH
THE QPF. THERMALLY, SOMEHOW WE HAVE MANAGED WITH EVEN ALL THIS SNOW
TO BE WARMER THAT ALL MODEL 2M FCST TEMPS AS THE FREEZING MARK IS
FAR NORTHWEST AS ABE AND RDG. THE FCST SOUNDINGS ALOFT ARE STILL
SHOWING THE COLDER/LOWER 925MB TEMPS BYPASSING THE 850MB TEMPS
HEADING TOWARD THE COAST. WE ARE EXPECTING SLEET TO INCREASE AS A
PTYPE THIS EVENING AND THEN AS THE SNOWFALL RATES/INTENSITY INCREASE
PTYPE CHANGES BACK TO SNOW IN MOST AREAS. THE SWEET SPOT FOR
ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS (LOWER SFC TEMPERATURES, COLDER THERMAL
FIELDS PLUS HEAVIER PCPN) SHOULD BE FROM THE PHL NW SUBURBS NEWD
INTO THE PASSAIC BASIN OF NJ. PLACES TO THE WEST MAY BE TOO REMOVED
AND PLACES FARTHER TO THE EAST, NON SNOW PTYPES WILL TAKE AWAY FROM
THE ACCUMS. BECAUSE OF THE EXPECTED THUMPING SNOWFALL RATES (1 TO 3
INCHES PER HOUR), WE DID NOT CHANGE ANY OF OUR WARNINGS OR
ADVISORIES.

WITH THE BETTER MODELING CONSENSUS, WE ARE EXPECTING THIS EVENT TO
GO INTO THE BOOKS BY THE END OF THE NIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
THEN A QUIET DAY TO RECOVER FROM THIS CURRENT STORM ON FRIDAY. THE
DAY SHOULD START SUNNY, BUT CLOUDS FROM THE NEXT SYSTEM SHOULD START
ARRIVING DURING THE AFTERNOON. BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE SNOW, WE
UNDERCUT STAT GUIDANCE (GFS MOS ESPECIALLY).

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC SETUP IS COMPRISED OF A CONTINUED ACTIVE FLOW.
THIS INVOLVES AN AMPLIFYING TROUGH ARRIVING FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY. A SECONDARY SHORT WAVE THEN LOOKS TO MAINTAIN THIS TROUGH
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. THESE FEATURES LOOK TO BRING AT LEAST
SOME SNOW TO MUCH OF THE REGION. SOME RIDGING THEN ARRIVES EARLY
NEXT WEEK, HOWEVER THIS LOOKS SHORT-LIVED AS ANOTHER SHORT WAVE DIGS
ACROSS THE MIDWEST MONDAY THEN ACROSS THE NORTHEAST TUESDAY. THE
FLOW SHIFTING SOUTHWARD SOME ACROSS THE WESTERN STATES TUESDAY, MAY
THEN ALLOW RIDGING TO BECOME BETTER ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE EAST
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. THIS WOULD OPEN THE DOOR FOR MILDER AIR TO
SURGE UP THE EAST COAST.

FOR FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...A FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVES THROUGH THE
REGION WITH AN ASSOCIATED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKING NEAR OUR CWA.
THE MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE LARGE SCALE
FEATURES, WITH AN AREA OF FRONTOGENETIC FORCING NEAR 850 MB SLIDING
ACROSS ABOUT THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE CWA. THE ASSOCIATED LARGE
SCALE LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS COMBINED WITH ENOUGH COLD AIR,
SHOULD RESULT IN A SWATH OF ACCUMULATING SNOW ACROSS MUCH OF THE
CWA. AS OF NOW, ALONG AND TO THE NORTH OF THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR
THERE LOOKS TO BE FOR A COUPLE OF INCHES OF SNOW WITH SOME LESSER
AMOUNTS SOUTH AND EASTWARD. WE GENERALLY FOLLOWED FAIRLY CLOSE TO
WPC REGARDING QPF, AND USED A MODEL BLEND TOP-DOWN METHOD TO GET A
DECENT IDEA OF PRECIPITATION TYPES. OVERALL, SNOW AMOUNTS MAY
WARRANT ADVISORIES FOR PORTIONS OF THE CWA. THE SYSTEM WILL
GRADUALLY SHIFT TO OUR NORTHEAST DURING THE DAY SATURDAY WITH CAA
BEHIND THE FRONT.

FOR SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...ANOTHER SHOT OF CAA AS 850 MB
TEMPERATURES DROP TO AROUND -10C WITH A WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW. THIS
WILL LIKELY KEEP TEMPERATURES BELOW FREEZING SUNDAY ACROSS NEARLY
THE ENTIRE AREA. A WEAK CLIPPER SYSTEM APPEARS TO TRACK JUST TO OUR
SOUTH SUNDAY WHICH MAY INCREASE CLOUDS. THIS FEATURE MAY HAVE RATHER
LIMITED MOISTURE WITH IT, RESULTING IN A FEW SNOW SHOWERS OR
FLURRIES. GIVEN LESS CERTAINTY ATTM, WE OPTED TO CARRY A DRY
FORECAST SUNDAY. THE AIRMASS ALOFT IS FORECAST TO MODIFY DURING
MONDAY, WHICH ALSO ALLOW SURFACE TEMPERATURES TO RESPOND AT LEAST
SOME.

FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...THERE SHOULD BE A MODERATING TIME FRAME
GETTING UNDERWAY AS HIGH PRESSURE GRADUALLY MOVES EAST. A QUICK
MOVING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THOUGH TRACKING TO OUR NORTH WILL PULL A
COLD FRONT ACROSS OUR AREA TUESDAY. THE FLOW AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE
WILL ALLOW FOR WARMING, HOWEVER SOME COLD AIR WILL PROBABLY BE
TRAPPED AT THE SURFACE LONGER ESPECIALLY NORTH AND WEST OF
INTERSTATE 95 AND ENHANCED SOME BY THE EXISTING SNOWPACK. THIS
FEATURE WILL PROBABLY RESULT IN SOME SNOW/RAIN TO RAIN, ALTHOUGH
PERHAPS SOME FREEZING RAIN OCCURS FOR A TIME PRIOR TO THE LOW-LEVEL
COLD AIR BECOMING DISLODGED. ONCE THIS SYSTEM SHIFTS EAST, HIGH
PRESSURE LOOKS TO BUILD ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES ALLOWING FOR
A RETURN FLOW ACROSS THE EAST.

FOR THURSDAY...HIGH PRESSURE OFF THE EAST COAST WILL RESULT IN A
MILDER SOUTHERLY FLOW. A SHORT WAVE TENDING TO EJECT OUT OF THE
TROUGH IN THE WEST WILL TRAVERSE ACROSS THE MIDWEST AND CENTRAL
PLAINS DURING THIS TIME FRAME. THIS SHOULD DRIVE INCREASING WAA AND
A SURFACE WARM FRONT NORTHEASTWARD. OVERALL, A MILDER AIRMASS IS
ANTICIPATED TO BE OVERSPREADING OUR REGION. WE FAVORED RATHER CLOSE
TO THE 12Z WPC GUIDANCE.

&&

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

TONIGHT...WITH A SECOND ROUND OF RAIN/SLEET/SNOW EXPECTED THIS
EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...IFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
PREVAIL OVER ALL TAF SITES AFTER A BRIEF RESPITE LATE THIS
AFTERNOON. RAIN...THEN SLEET...THEN SNOW ARE EXPECTED AS COLDER AIR
MOVES IN ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE DEPARTING NOR'EASTER. NORTHEAST
WINDS WILL ALSO BE INCREASING BEFORE TURNING NORTH, THEN NORTHWEST
WITH GUST UP TO 35 KT POSSIBLE AFTER MIDNIGHT. CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED TO IMPROVE TOWARD THE MORNING HOURS AS PRECIPITATION AND
CLOUDS EXIT WITH THE STORM.

FRIDAY...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED. HOWEVER...NORTHWEST WINDS WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY, WITH GUSTS STARTING OUT IN THE 25 TO 30
KT RANGE...GRADUALLY DECREASING THROUGH THE DAY.

OUTLOOK...
FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...LOWERING CEILINGS/VISIBILITIES TO
MVFR/IFR WITH A PERIOD OF SNOW ANTICIPATED FOR MUCH OF THE AREA. THE
SNOW SHOULD TAPER OFF DURING THE DAY SATURDAY FROM WEST TO EAST, AND
ACCUMULATIONS AT THIS TIME LOOK TO BE ON THE LIGHT SIDE. THE
CONDITIONS IMPROVE TO VFR BY LATE IN THE DAY SATURDAY AND AT NIGHT.

SUNDAY...OVERALL VFR CEILINGS AS A WEAK SYSTEM SLIDES BY TO OUR
SOUTH.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...GENERALLY VFR MONDAY, THEN SUB-VFR POSSIBLE
TUESDAY AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH ALONG WITH SOME RAIN/SNOW.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS HAVE WEAKENED JUST A BIT THIS AFTERNOON AS THE CENTER OF THE
NOR'EASTER MOVES OVER THE FORECAST WATERS. HOWEVER...AS THE LOW
CONTINUED TO MOVE NORTHEAST, THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL RETURN AND
WINDS WILL INCREASE ONCE AGAIN. GUSTS OVER 40 KT ARE POSSIBLE DURING
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS WITH SUSTAINED WINDS IN THE 25 TO 30 KT RANGE.
AS A RESULT, THE GALE WARNING IN EFFECT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING FOR
THE OCEAN WATERS HAS BEEN CONTINUED, AND THE GALE WARNING FOR THE
DELAWARE BAY HAS BEEN EXTENDED THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS TONIGHT.
SEAS IN THE 11 TO 12 FOOT RANGE WILL GRADUALLY BEGIN TO SUBSIDE
OVERNIGHT ONCE THE NORTHWEST WINDS KICK IN.

CONDITIONS CONTINUE TO IMPROVE ON FRIDAY AS WINDS GRADUALLY SUBSIDE
THROUGHOUT THE DAY. A SCA WILL MOST LIKELY BE NEEDED ON THE DELAWARE
BAY, WITH GALE WARNINGS CONTINUING ON THE OCEAN THROUGH THE DAY.

OUTLOOK...
FRIDAY NIGHT...CONDITIONS SHOULD QUICKLY DROP BELOW ADVISORY
CRITERIA IN THE EVENING.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD REACH SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY CRITERIA AS A STORM SYSTEM SHIFTS TO OUR EAST SUNDAY. THE
WINDS AND SEAS THEN LOWER DURING SUNDAY.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVER THE AREA MONDAY WITH
LESS WIND AND DIMINISHED SEAS. A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH TUESDAY
MAY THEN RESULT IN ADVISORY LEVEL GUSTS DEVELOPING.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
THE STRONG COASTAL STORM IS EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE AREA TODAY AND
TONIGHT. AREAS OF MINOR COASTAL FLOODING ARE EXPECTED ALONG THE
NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE COASTS, AS WELL AS THE DELAWARE BAY. THE
HIGHEST ASTRONOMICAL TIDE IS EXPECTED TO BE SHORTLY AFTER DAWN
TODAY, BUT THE HIGHEST TIDAL DEPARTURES ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR
WITH THE THURSDAY EVENING HIGH TIDE.

COASTAL FLOODING IS NOT CURRENTLY EXPECTED ALONG THE EASTERN
SHORE OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY.
