Area forecast discussion, May 22, 6:51 PM EDT, 2 hours 31 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
651 PM EDT THU MAY 22 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION OVERNIGHT. AN UPPER
AIR DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BUILD ACROSS THE AREA FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. A COLD FRONT
WILL AFFECT THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC REGION NEXT TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
WE HAVE CANCELED THE REMAINING THE LAST SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WATCH.

A 19Z SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED A WARM FRONT NEAR THE PA/NJ BORDER AND
EXTENDING SOUTH TO JUST EAST OF DELAWARE. MEANWHILE, A COLD FRONT
EXTENDED FROM NORTH-CENTRAL PA/NEW YORK BORDER BACK TOWARD
SOUTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY. SCATTERED
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WERE DEVELOPING IN THE WARM SECTOR ACROSS
PORTIONS OF OUR EASTERN PA COUNTIES AND NEAR ADJACENT PARTS OF FAR
NORTHERN MARYLAND AND DELAWARE. RECENT LAPS DATA ACROSS THESE AREAS
SHOWED LIFTED INDEX VALUES IN THE -4 TO -6 RANGE, WITH CAPE VALUES
IN THE 1500 PLUS J/KG RANGE. THERE IS ALSO AMPLE BULK SHEAR NOTED IN
THESE AREAS, HELPING TO PROMOTE SUSTAINED UPDRAFTS. WHILE CAPE AND
LI VALUES ARE NOT QUITE AS IMPRESSIVE FARTHER EAST INTO PORTIONS OF
NJ, THERE IS ENOUGH INSTABILITY PRESENT FOR SOME SCATTERED STRONG TO
SEVERE STORMS INTO NEW JERSEY, ESPECIALLY CENTRAL TO SOUTHERN PARTS
OF THE STATE. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH CONTINUES FOR OUR ENTIRE
FORECAST AREA INTO THIS EVENING.

CONVECTION SHOULD BEGIN TO WANE BETWEEN 00Z TO 02Z FROM WEST TO EAST
ACROSS THE CWA, WITH PERHAPS SOME LINGERING SHOWERS LASTING UP
THROUGH AROUND MIDNIGHT OR SO AS THE COLD FRONT GRADUALLY TRACKS
ACROSS THE REGION. ONCE THE FRONT PASSES THROUGH THE REGION, WINDS
WILL BECOME MORE NORTHWESTERLY DURING THE OVERNIGHT AS DRIER AIR
BEGINS TO FILTER IN ACROSS THE REGION. OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES WERE
MAINLY A BLEND OF MET/MAV GUIDANCE, WITH LOWS MAINLY IN THE 50S
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
GOING THROUGH THE DAYTIME FRIDAY, A MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE/VORT MAX IS
FORECAST TO DROP SOUTHEAST ACROSS OUR REGION. WITH COLD AIR PRESENT
ALOFT AND SUFFICIENT SURFACE HEATING INTO THE AFTERNOON, MORE
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHWR/TSTM ACTIVITY IS ANTICIPATED. WE
GRADUALLY STEP-UP POPS INTO THE AFTERNOON TO EARLY EVENING HOURS,
WITH HIGHEST POPS ACROSS OUR NORTHERN ZONES. WE AGAIN TOOK A MET/MAV
GUIDANCE BLEND WITH A FEW LOCAL ADJUSTMENTS FOR MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES
AND EXPECT HIGHS TO RANGE FROM THE MID/UPPER 60S ACROSS OUR FAR
NORTHERN ZONES TO THE LOWER/MID 70S ELSEWHERE.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THERE WILL BE A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS AND SCT THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
THE AREA FRI EVENING WHICH WILL SLOWLY SUBSIDE OVERNIGHT AS THE
UPPER SYSTEM MOVES AWAY FROM THE AREA. THERE MAY BE SOME PATCHY
FOG THAT WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION. LOW TEMPERATURES FRI
NIGHT WILL BE MOSTLY IN THE 50S FOR OUR AREA.

THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND LOOK GOOD FOR THE MOST PART. SUN AND MON LOOK
DRY BUT SAT MAY FEATURE SOME SCT SHOWERS OR A TSTM DURING THE
AFTERNOON. WE HAVE HELD THE POPS TO THE CHC CATEGORY. TEMPERATURES
SAT WILL BE A BIT BELOW NORMAL WITH READINGS REACHING THE LOW/MID
70S. ON SUNDAY TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB INTO THE MID/UPPER 70S
CLOSER TO NORMAL. READINGS WILL BE WARMER MON WITH LOW 80S IN
MANY AREAS.

A COLD FRONT WILL REACH THE AREA LATER TUESDAY AND INTO EARLY
TUESDAY NIGHT. WE HAVE LEFT THE SLGT CHC/CHC POPS FOR NOW. TEMPS
TUE/WED LOOK ABOVE NORMAL WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW/MID 80S IN MANY
AREAS.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

LATE-DAY AND TONIGHT...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. HOWEVER,
AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT WILL TRIGGER SOME SCATTERED SHWRS/TSTMS,
AND A TEMPO GROUP WITH MVFR CONDITIONS IS INCLUDED IN THE TAFS
REPRESENTING THE BEST TIMING OF ANY SCATTERED CONVECTION, MAINLY IN
THE 20Z/21Z TIME-FRAME TO ABOUT 01Z FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE
AREA. ANY LINGERING SCATTERED SHWR ACTIVITY SHOULD DIMINISH SOON
THEREAFTER AS THE COLD FRONT TRACKS ACROSS THE REGION, PERHAPS
LINGERING A BIT LONGER FOR THE NORTHERN TERMINALS. WITH REGARDS TO
WINDS, LIGHT SOUTHERLY WINDS AT LATE-DAY WILL BECOME MORE
SOUTHWESTERLY INTO THIS EVENING AND THEN NORTHWESTERLY FOLLOWING THE
COLD FRONT PASSAGE, INCREASING TO AROUND 10 KNOTS. THE NORTHWEST
WINDS AND INCOMING DRIER AIR BEHIND THE FRONT SHOULD HELP TO
PRECLUDE PATCHY FOG FROM FORMING LATE IN ANY REMAINING RESIDUAL
LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE, AND THIS WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE TAFS.

FRIDAY...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS WITH NORTHWEST WINDS, GUSTING AT
TIMES INTO THE 15 TO 20 KNOT RANGE. ISOLATED SHWRS/TSTMS WITH MVFR
OR LOWER CONDITIONS ACCOMPANYING ANY ACTIVITY, ESPECIALLY IN THE
AFTN TO EVE.

OUTLOOK...
FRI NIGHT...SCT SHOWERS ENDING BUT PSBL MVFR IN FOG OVERNIGHT.
SAT..MOSTLY VFR. SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS WITH POORER CONDITIONS PSBL.
SAT NIGHT THRU TUE...VFR. SCT TSTMS LATE TUE.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT...WINDS AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY CONDITIONS. WINDS MAY OCCASIONALLY GUST NEAR OR JUST ABOVE
20KT LATE TONIGHT INTO THE EARLY MORNING OF FRIDAY BEHIND A COLD
FRONT.

FRIDAY...SUB-SCA CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY INTO THE
AFTERNOON TO EARLY EVENING. BRIEFLY HIGHER WINDS AND REDUCED
VISIBILITIES ARE POSSIBLE IN ANY SHWR/TSTORM ACTIVITY.

OUTLOOK...
SUB-SCA EXPECTED FOR THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. SCT
TSTMS SAT AND TUE MAY CREATE LOCALLY HIGHER WINDS AND SEAS.
