Special Weather Statement, NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
940 PM EDT WED JUL 2 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE TO THE WEST WILL AFFECT OUR REGION
TONIGHT. IT WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONT WHICH WILL THEN CROSS
THE AREA THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. BY THURSDAY...TROPICAL STORM ARTHUR
WILL START MOVING NORTHEAST AND WILL INTERACT WITH THE FRONT
OFFSHORE BY LATE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. ANOTHER HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM
WILL MOVE TOWARD OUR AREA BY SUNDAY BEFORE MOVING EAST OF THE
REGION EARLY NEXT WEEK

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
THE HEAT ADVISORY HAS EXPIRED THIS EVENING. WE STILL EXPECT A VERY
WARM AND MUGGY NIGHT TONIGHT WITH TEMPERATURES ONLY DROPPING INTO
THE UPPER-70S ALONG THE URBAN CORRIDOR.

EXTENDED THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH UNTIL 10PM FOR EASTERN NEW
JERSEY ONLY AS THE BEST OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES WERE MARCHING THROUGH.
ELSEWHERE WE CANCELED THE WATCH AS THE ATMOSPHERE WAS PRETTY
OVERTURNED THOUGH A FEW STRAY SHOWERS, WITH POSSIBLE THUNDER, ARE
NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION, JUST NOTHING WIDESPREAD AT THIS POINT.

A CONTINUED THREAT FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL EXISTS WITH THE
STORMS, IN ADDITION TO THE STRONG STRAIGHT LINE WINDS. THE STORMS
ARE RELATIVELY SLOW MOVING AND PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE IN
EXCESS OF 1.75 INCHES.

A MOSTLY CLOUDY SKY ALONG WITH PATCHY LIGHT FOG AND HAZE ARE
EXPECTED FOR OVERNIGHT. SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS MAY LINGER. LOW
TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE MAINLY IN THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 70S WITH A
LIGHT WIND.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
WE ARE ANTICIPATING THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY FROM THE NORTHWEST TO
STALL OVER OUR REGION ON THURSDAY. IT IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN TO
INTERACT WITH TROPICAL MOISTURE WHICH HAS BECOME ESTABLISHED IN
OUR REGION. AS A RESULT, WE ARE ANTICIPATING SHOWERS AND SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ON THURSDAY MORNING AND THEY SHOULD
CONTINUE INTO THE AFTERNOON. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL BE
AROUND 2 INCHES. THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE SLOW
MOVING AND WE ARE CONCERNED WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING
FROM THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR NORTHWESTWARD. WE HAVE ISSUED A
FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THOSE AREAS.

WE HAVE GONE A BIT BELOW GUIDANCE FOR THE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES
FOR THURSDAY DUE TO THE EXPECTED RAIN SHOWERS AND CLOUD COVER. THE
WIND SHOULD FAVOR THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST AROUND 5 TO 10 MPH.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AT THE START OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD THE MID-LEVEL TROUGHING WILL
STILL BE TO THE WEST OF THE REGION. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE
SURFACE COLD FRONT TO SLOWLY SLINK ACROSS THE REGION AS IT BECOMES
BETTER ALIGNED PARALLEL TO THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW AS TS ARTHUR IS
EXPECTED TO PASS WELL TO OUR EAST. THE TROUGHING SHOULD LIFT
THROUGH BY THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND GIVING WAY TO PSEUDO-
ZONAL FLOW THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. ANOTHER DEEPENING TROUGH IS
EXPECTED BY MID NEXT WEEK.

FRIDAY...THIS IS THE TIME OF THE YEAR WHERE WE HARDLY SEE A
ROBUST COLD FRONT RIP THROUGH THE REGION GIVING WAY TO A MORE
REFRESHING AIR MASS. AS PER THE NORM, THE SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL
BASICALLY LIMP THROUGH LATER ON FRIDAY PROVIDING ANOTHER FOCUS FOR
CONVECTION AS PWATS REMAIN AROUND 2 INCHES...MORE HEAVY RAIN IS
EXPECTED. AT THIS TIME THE CURRENT TRACK OF TS ARTHUR MAKES ITS
CLOSEST PASS OF OUR REGION, STILL WELL OFFSHORE, AS IT RACES
TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST SO DIRECT IMPACTS FROM THE SYSTEM WILL BE
MINIMAL, WITH SOME MOISTURE ENHANCEMENT AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT.

SATURDAY - SUNDAY...HIGH PRESSURE AND NORTHWEST WINDS WILL BE IN
PLACE WITH LOWERING DEWPOINTS AND TEMPERATURES. EXPECTING DRY
WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND WITH TEMPERATURES RIGHT AROUND AVERAGE.

MONDAY...HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OFFSHORE AND A RETURN FLOW SETS UP
SO WE WILL SEE A RETURN TO THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY. MEDIUM RANGE
GUIDANCE DIFFERS A BIT ON HOW FAST THE BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTENS
UNDER THE WARM AIR/THETA-E ADVECTION TAKING PLACE. THE TIMING OF
THE NEXT MID-LEVEL IMPULSE IS ALSO SUSPECT WITH THE GFS MUCH
WETTER THAN THE EURO. FOR THE TIME BEING USED A BLEND OF
PERSISTENCE AND WPC GIVING A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS ACROSS OUR
NORTHERN TIER ZONES.

TUESDAY - WEDNESDAY...PRE-FRONTAL HEAT TROUGHS BOTH AFTERNOONS
SHOULD BE ENOUGH OF A FOCUS FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AHEAD OF THE NEXT COLD FRONT. THE NEXT FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO CROSS/STALL ACROSS THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY WITH
CONTINUED SHOWERY ACTIVITY. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE WELL ABOVE
NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE THEIR WAY EASTWARD ACROSS OUR
FORECAST AREA DURING THE EVENING HOURS. WHILE CONDITIONS WILL BE
MOSTLY IN THE VFR CATEGORY, THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ACCOMPANIED
BY IFR CONDITIONS ALONG WITH FREQUENT LIGHTNING, GUSTY WINDS AND
HEAVY RAIN.

THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD LESSEN FOR THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD
WITH LINGERING CLOUDS AND SHOWERS ANTICIPATED. CONDITIONS SHOULD
BE MOSTLY VFR WITH OCCASIONAL MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITY VALUES.

SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE FORECAST TO DEVELOP ON
THURSDAY MORNING AND THEY SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
CONDITIONS MAY DETERIORATE AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. THE RAIN WILL
LIKELY BE HEAVY AT TIMES.

THE WIND SHOULD FAVOR THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST AROUND 8 TO 10
KNOTS INTO THIS EVENING. A LIGHT AND VARIABLE WIND IS EXPECTED FOR
OVERNIGHT. A SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WIND AROUND 8 TO 10 KNOTS IS
FORECAST FOR THURSDAY.

OUTLOOK...
FRIDAY...MOSTLY POOR CONDITIONS WITH CIG/VSBY RESTRICTIONS AND
OCNL SHOWERS/TSTMS. GUSTY NORTH-NORTHWEST WINDS LIKELY.

FRIDAY NIGHT THRU SUNDAY...MOSTLY VFR. GUSTY WINDS SAT.

MONDAY...VFR. POSSIBLE AFTERNOON SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS NORTH OF
PHL.

&&

.MARINE...
WE HAVE CANCELED THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY THIS EVENING AS THE
WINDS ARE CURRENTLY TIED TO THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THOUGH SOME
GUSTS UPWARDS OF 20 KNOTS ARE POSSIBLE OUTSIDE THE STORMS.

A SOUTHERLY FLOW IS EXPECTED ON THE COASTAL WATERS OF NEW JERSEY
AND DELAWARE FOR TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. SPEEDS SHOULD BE MAINLY IN
THE 10 TO 20 KNOT RANGE.

WIND SPEEDS AND WAVE HEIGHTS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW THE SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR TONIGHT AND THURSDAY.

OUTLOOK...
FRIDAY...MARINE HEADLINES EXPECTED MUCH OF THE PERIOD WITH THE
INFLUENCE OF ARTHUR PASSING EAST OF THE WATERS.

SAT THRU MON...SCA SEAS EARLY SAT THEN SUB-SCA THRU MON.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
WE HAVE DECIDED TO ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE I-95
CORRIDOR AND ALL POINTS WESTWARD BETWEEN 12Z THURSDAY AND 16Z
FRIDAY.

REASONS...SLOW MOVING SURFACE FRONT, 2.00" PW'S AHEAD AND ALONG
THE FRONT, AMPLE INSTABILITY, PRONOUNCED UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE,
AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A PREDECESSOR RAINFALL EVENT OR PRE.

TIMING...WHILE AN ABOVE INGREDIENT OR TWO ARE IN PLACE AT SOME
TIME TEMPORALLY WITHIN THE WATCH, THEY ALL COME TOGETHER TOMORROW
AFTERNOON INTO TOMORROW EVENING. DURING THIS TIME, THE PW'S PEAK
AROUND 2.00" AND THE RIGHT REAR QUAD OF THE H25 JET IS OVERHEAD.

PREDECESSOR RAINFALL EVENTS (PRE)...AT THE MOMENT, THE GENERAL
QPF CONSENSUS FOR THE REGION IS BETWEEN ONE TO THREE INCHES OF
RAINFALL, FALLING TOMORROW INTO FRIDAY MORNING. THAT SAID, IS IT
KNOWN THAT NWP MODELS CAN UNDERESTIMATE HEAVY RAINFALL ASSOCIATED
WITH A PRE.

DO WE HAVE PRE INGREDIENTS? YES WE DO. THIS INCLUDES THE RIGHT
REAR UPPER JET, BEING AHEAD OF THE MEAN LONG-WAVE TROUGH AXIS AT
THE MID-LEVELS, AND NEAR OR JUST WEST OF A LOW-LEVEL THETA-E RIDGE
AXIS. ADDITIONALLY, IF YOU LOOK AT THE CLIMATOLOGY OF PRE'S, MORE
OF THEM ARE TO THE LEFT OF A CYCLONE TRACK.

ALL OF THE ABOVE, AT LEAST AT THIS TIME, SEEM TO BE COMING
TOGETHER OVER SOUTHEAST PA. THIS IS WHY WE ARE PAINTING THE WATCH
ACROSS THE I-95 CORRIDOR AND POINTS TO THE WEST.

ANOTHER CONCERN IS THAT THE RIDGING RIGHT TO THE WEST OF ARTHUR
COULD SLOW THE APPROACHING FRONT DOWN EVEN MORE THAN WHAT MODELS
ARE CURRENTLY SUGGESTING.

ON A POSITIVE NOTE, ONE OF THE MORE TYPICAL INGREDIENTS WE
COMMONLY SEE IN LARGE RAIN EVENTS ACROSS THE FALL LINE IS A
PERSISTENT SOUTHEAST FLOW WITH AN EXTENDED FETCH. IN THIS CASE, WE
ARE NOT SEEING THAT, ALTHOUGH THE WINDS SHOULD GO SOUTHEAST RIGHT
AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND THE BEST SURFACE CONVERGENCE.

RAINFALL...1.00 TO 3.00", BUT WITH PW'S AROUND 2.00" CAN
DEFINITELY SEE 4.00", MAYBE 5.00" IN SOME ISOLATED SPOTS.

FLOODING...WE ARE NOT EXPECTING FLOODING ON ANY MAIN STEMS AT THIS
TIME. OUR CONCERN LIES WITH THE SMALLER CREEKS AND STREAMS ACROSS
SOUTHEAST PA AND NORTHERN DELAWARE AS WELL AS URBAN OR POOR
DRAINAGE AREAS.

&&

.RIP CURRENTS...
AN INCREASE IN RIP CURRENT RISK LIKELY THIS WEEKEND AS TROPICAL
STORM ARTHUR MOVES ALONG THE EAST COAST. THE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS
WILL BE AT LEAST MODERATE IF NOT HIGH DURING THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND
GIVEN THE LATEST NHC FORECAST. THIS POSES A HUGE CONCERN
CONSIDERING THE LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE, INCLUDING THE LESS
EXPERIENCED SWIMMERS, WHO WILL VENTURE OUT DURING ONE OF THE
BIGGEST BEACH WEEKENDS OF THE YEAR. THE TRANQUIL WEATHER
CONDITIONS ON LAND THIS WEEKEND COULD LEAD TO A FALSE SENSE OF
SAFETY IN THE WATERS.

RIP CURRENTS ARE LIFE-THREATENING IF YOU/RE NOT PREPARED TO
HANDLE THEM. FOR THE GREATEST CHANCE OF SAFETY...SWIM ONLY UNDER
THE WATCHFUL EYES OF LIFEGUARDS. OTHERWISE ANY OPPORTUNITY FOR
RESCUE CAN SUFFER FROM A MUCH GREATER RESPONSE DELAY AND BE FATAL.
