Special Weather Statement, NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
410 PM EDT SUN AUG 31 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WELL OFF THE EAST COAST WILL MAINTAIN A SOUTHWESTERLY
FLOW OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEK. A WEAK COLD
FRONT IS THEN EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS OUR AREA LATE TUESDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BEHIND THIS FRONT FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE
WEEK BEFORE ANOTHER COLD FRONT ARRIVES IN THE REGION THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
TWO DISTINCT AREAS OF MID-LEVEL ENERGY TO THE WEST OF THE REGION
THIS AFTERNOON. THE FIRST, STRONGER PIECE, IS LOCATED ACROSS THE
NORTHERN GREAT LAKES, TIED TO THE SURFACE LOW PRESSURE, WHILE THE
SECOND, WEAKER, WAVE IS ACROSS SOUTHWEST PENNSYLVANIA. THE WAVE
INTERACTIONS HAVE PRODUCED NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA THIS AFTERNOON. VERY MOIST AND
WARM AIRMASS WILL ALLOW FOR AMPLE INSTABILITY TO CONTINUE THE THREAT
OF THESE STORMS AS THEY PUSH EAST-NORTHEAST. BUOYANCY IS  NOT AN
ISSUE, EVEN WITH WEAK MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES, GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF
BULK SHEAR THAT EXISTS WITHIN THE NORTHERN 2/3RDS OF OUR CWA...LESS
ACROSS SOUTHERN DELMARVA. IN TERMS OF SEVERE CONVECTION EXPECTED, WE
CONTINUE TO EXPECT A FEW ISOLATED STORMS BRINGING DOWN THE STRONG
WINDS ALOFT AS PRECIPITATION LOADED CORES DROP. THE MAIN ACTIVITY
THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS SHOULD REMAIN TO THE NORTH OF DOVER AS ONE
OF THE MID-LEVEL TROUGHS SLIDE THROUGH.

LATER THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, ANOTHER WEAK MID-LEVEL
TROUGH WILL SLIDE THROUGH PRODUCING MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS WITH
EMBEDDED CONVECTION. WE MOVE THE LIKELY POPS TOWARDS THE EAST TO
FOLLOW THE PATH OF THIS FEATURE. WITH THE PWATS BEING WELL ABOVE
NORMAL ANY OF THE SHOWERS WILL BE WATER LADEN AND PRODUCE VERY HEAVY
DOWNPOURS. THESE DOWNPOURS COULD PRODUCE LOCALIZED SMALL STREAM AND
POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING...GOOD THING THE STORM MOTION IS RELATIVELY
QUICK.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
SOUPY AIRMASS REMAINS IN PLACE WITH WEAK MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE MOVING
THROUGH. THE WAVE ALOFT LOOKS TO GET SHEARED OUT AS IT MOVES IN
ALOFT SO IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A GREAT TRIGGER FOR CONTINUED
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY. THAT BEING SAID, ANY DIFFERENTIAL HEATING THAT
OCCURS COMBINED WITH WEAK SURFACE CONVERGENCE CAN BE THE SPARK
NEEDED TO GET CONVECTION GOING. WE CONTINUE TO HAVE AT LEAST 40-50
PERCENT POPS FOR A MAJORITY OF THE REGION.

TEMPERATURES TOMORROW WILL BE SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. UPTICKED
THE MAX TEMPERATURES A DEGREE ACROSS THE I-95 CORRIDOR AS ANY BREAKS
IN THE CLOUDS WILL BE ENOUGH FOR SUBSTANTIAL HEATING.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS PERIOD, WE SEE A TRANSITION TO MOSTLY
ZONAL FLOW FROM THE LOWER THROUGH UPPER LEVELS.

TUESDAY...BEFORE MUCH DRY AIR ADVECTION WITH THE ZONAL FLOW CAN
KICK IN THOUGH, WE WILL SEE A RATHER UNCOMFORTABLE DAY WITH HIGHS
IN THE 80S AND 90S, WHILE HEAT INDEX VALUES COULD APPROACH THE MID
AND UPPER 90S IN DELMARVA AND THE I95 CORRIDOR.

TUESDAY NIGHT...MODELS STILL SHOWING THE FRONT ARRIVING DURING
THIS PERIOD, BRINGING SOMEWHAT COOLER, BUT MOSTLY DRIER AIR. STILL
SOME CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS AHEAD OF AND WITH THE FRONT,
HOWEVER WITH THE ZONAL FLOW IN PLACE, AND MODEST DRY AIR ADVECTION
OCCURRING AHEAD OF THE FRONT, MOISTURE AVAILABILITY WILL BE
SOMEWHAT QUESTIONABLE.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...A HIGH BUILDS OVER THE REGION IN THE
WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT. AS A RESULT EXPECT A FEW, NICE, SUMMER
LIKE DAYS WITH HIGHS IN THE 80S.

SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...THE NEXT COLD FRONT IS SET TO ARRIVE
OVER THE WEEKEND. THOUGH THERE IS SOME QUESTION WITH THE CONTINUED
ZONAL FLOW HOW FAR SOUTH THE FRONT WILL DIG, BOTH THE GFS AND
ECMWF HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT IN SHOWING THE FRONT MOVING SOUTH OF
OUR REGION THROUGH THIS PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

THROUGH LATE EVENING...VFR. AREAS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS SOUTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA WILL GENERALLY MOVE TOWARDS THE
EAST-NORTHEAST THIS EVENING. STORMS ARE CAPABLE OF LOCAL IFR
CONDITIONS AND GUSTY WINDS. TEMPO GROUPS FOR MAIN THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY IN THE TAFS.

TONIGHT...VFR TO MVFR. WINDS LIGHTEN UP BUT REMAIN MOSTLY SOUTHERLY.
COULD BE A WASH-RINSE-REPEAT EVENT TONIGHT WITH WARM MOIST AIR STILL
IN PLACE. NOT ENTIRELY SURE WE WILL SEE WIDESPREAD MVFR CIGS SO THIS
IS A LOWER CONFIDENCE FORECAST. MORE SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE.

TOMORROW...VFR. ANY STRATUS MIXES OUT BY LATE MORNING. ANOTHER ROUND
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE BUT AT THIS TIME LOCATION
IS A BIG QUESTION.

OUTLOOK...
MONDAY NIGHT...COVERAGE OF STORMS DECREASES THROUGH THE EVENING
HOURS. HOWEVER, WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IN PLACE, IFR VISIBILITIES
DUE TO BR COULD LINGER FOR MUCH OF THE NIGHT.

TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...CONDITIONS IMPROVING TO VFR EARLY IN THE
DAY. SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON
AND TUESDAY EVENING, ALONG WITH AN ABRUPT WIND SHIFT AS A COLD FRONT
MOVES THROUGH THE REGION.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED.

&&

.MARINE...
SUB-SCA CONDITIONS EXPECTED TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. SEAS WILL CONTINUE
TO BUILD THROUGH TOMORROW...AROUND 4 FEET. WINDS SHOULD BE LIGHTER
TOMORROW THAN TODAY.

OUTLOOK...
MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...SEAS AND WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN
BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA. SOME GUSTY WINDS WILL BE
POSSIBLE IN THE VICINITY OF THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY EVENING AND AGAIN
TUESDAY NIGHT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
VERY HIGH PWAT AIRMASS IN PLACE TODAY AND TONIGHT. NUMEROUS
MID-LEVEL WAVES/TROUGHS MOVE THROUGH THE REGION TAPPING INTO THE
MOISTURE ALLOWING FOR VERY HEAVY DOWNPOURS, ESPECIALLY IN
CONVECTION. STORM MOTIONS SHOULD BE QUICK ENOUGH FOR MOSTLY POOR
DRAINAGE AND SOME SMALL STREAM FLOODING. THROUGH TOMORROW AFTERNOON,
WHEN MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE, QPF ACCUMULATIONS
OF AROUND AN INCH ARE POSSIBLE...HIGHER WITHIN SOME STORMS. CURRENT
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION HAVE BEEN DRY SO NOT EXPECTING MUCH IN
THE WAY OF FLASH FLOODING CONCERNS.
