GLOUCESTER...DELAWARE...PHILADELPHIA...SOUTHEASTERN MONTGOMERY...
SOUTHERN BUCKS AND NORTHWESTERN CAMDEN COUNTIES...

AS OF 1 PM...WIDESPREAD RAINFALL OF 1 TO 1.4 INCHES HAS OCCURRED 
WITH RAPID RISES ON SOME SMALL STREAMS.  ISOLATED 2 INCH AMOUNTS MAY 
HAVE OCCURRED IN NORTHERN DELAWARE AND SOUTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA.

DAILY RECORD RAINS HAVE ALREADY OCCURRED AT THE LONG TERM 
CLIMATOLOGICAL LOCATIONS OF BOTH PHILADELPHIA AND WILMINGTON.  

HEAVY RAIN WILL BE QUICKLY ENDING FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST 
BETWEEN 2 PM AND 4 PM. WHILE THAT WILL PERMIT POOR DRAINAGE FLOOD 
WATERS TO RECEDE...SEVERAL SMALL STREAMS WILL PROBABLY CONTINUE 
THEIR RISES THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...POSSIBLY EXCEEDING BANKFULL.

THEREFORE THE WARNING WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE THREAT FOR FLOODING 
ENDS. 

A FLOOD WARNING MEANS THAT FLOODING IS IMMINENT OR HAS BEEN REPORTED.
STREAM RISES WILL CONTINUE. ALL INTERESTED PARTIES SHOULD TAKE 
NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS IMMEDIATELY.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.

EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE ELEVATED LEVELS ON
SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS...AND PONDING OF WATER IN URBAN AREAS...
HIGHWAYS...STREETS AND UNDERPASSES AS WELL AS OTHER POOR DRAINAGE
AREAS AND LOW LYING SPOTS.

AT 308 PM EST FLOODING WAS NOW OCCURRING ON THE CRISTINA RIVER IN 
NORTHERN DELAWARE AND THE PENNYPACK IN PHILADELPHIA.  IT SHOULD SOON 
BEGIN FLOODING ON THE CRUM CREEK IN NEWTOWN SQUARE. THE COOPER RIVER 
AT HADDONFIELD NEW JERSEY WAS RISING STEADILY AND MAY REACH FLOOD

THE RAIN HAS ESSENTIALLY ENDED IN NORTHERN DELAWARE AND WILL BE 
DIMINISHING CONSIDERABLY OR ENDING BY 4 PM IN THE REMAINDER OF THE 
FLOOD WARNING AREA OF SOUTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA AND SOUTHWESTERN NEW 
JERSEY. 

THAT WILL MEAN THAT FARMLAND AND POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING WILL BE 
EASING AND ENDING.

HOWEVER...SMALL STREAMS WILL PROBABLY CONTINUE RISING INTO THIS 
EVENING AND SO PORTIONS OF THIS WARNING MAY BE EXTENDED AT 5 
PM...PENDING FURTHER REVIEW OF STREAM STAGE TRENDS. 

A FLOOD WARNING MEANS THAT FLOODING IS IMMINENT OR HAS BEEN REPORTED.
STREAM RISES WILL BE SLOW AND FLASH FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
934 AM EST SUN JAN 18 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL TRACK UP THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC COAST TODAY,
TRACKING NORTHWARD THROUGH OUR AREA TONIGHT BEFORE LIFTING INTO NEW
ENGLAND BY MONDAY MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL PUSH ACROSS THE REGION
FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL CROSS THE OHIO
VALLEY AND MOVE INTO OUR AREA LATE TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY
FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE FOR THURSDAY THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.
ANOTHER SYSTEM MAY AFFECT OUR AREA LATE IN THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
930 AM UPDATE...THE FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO
NOON FOR MOST LOCATIONS, STILL TO 1 PM FOR THE NORTHERN PORTION OF
THE CWA. A FEW LOCATIONS IN THE WESTERN SUBURBS ARE STILL HOLDING
AT 29 DEGREES AND THOUGH MANY LOCATIONS FURTHER EAST AND SOUTH ARE
SEEING TEMPERATURES RIGHT AT 32, WE CONTINUE TO HEAR OF ICY
CONDITIONS ON THE ROADS. WITH ALL THE ISSUES FROM THIS MORNING, IT
MAY TAKE A LITTLE WHILE EVEN AFTER TEMPERATURES GET ABOVE FREEZING
FOR ICE ON SURFACES TO COMPLETELY MELT.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...AS OF 7 AM, A FREEZE RAIN ADVISORY HAS BEEN
ISSUED FOR MUCH OF THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR AND INTO THE LEHIGH
VALLEY. THIS IS DUE TO SOME FREEZING DRIZZLE AND EVEN LIGHT
RAIN/FREEZING RAIN STARTING TO DEVELOP FROM SOUTHWEST TO
NORTHEAST. THE TEMPERATURES ARE GRADUALLY INCREASING, HOWEVER MUCH
OF THE AREA IS STILL BELOW FREEZING AND THE GROUND IS COLD.

AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH WILL SHARPLY AMPLIFY AS IT ARRIVES ACROSS
THE EAST LATER TODAY. THIS WILL DRIVE A COLD FRONT EASTWARD ALONG
WITH INCREASING LARGE SCALE ASCENT. HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE
IS TO OUR EAST, THEREFORE A RETURN FLOW IS ACROSS THE REGION. THIS
IS RESULTING IN A SOUTH OR SOUTHEAST SURFACE FLOW AND WILL HELP
ASSIST IN BRINGING MILDER AIR NORTHBOUND AS THE WAA STRENGTHENS.

THE MOISTENING OF THE LOWER LEVELS IS ONGOING AND THIS IS EVIDENT BY
THE STRATUS THAT DEVELOPED ACROSS NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA. THIS IS
DUE TO AN UPSLOPE FLOW COMPONENT AND THE FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW A
QUICK SATURATION OF THE LOWER LEVELS. THIS SHOULD EXPAND ESPECIALLY
NORTHWARD WITH TIME THIS MORNING AS INCREASING WAA ALOFT STRENGTHENS
THE INVERSION AND ALSO HELPS TO MOISTEN THE LOWER LEVELS. THIS COULD
RESULT IN SOME FREEZING DRIZZLE. THE MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO BE
IN GOOD AGREEMENT SHOWING A STRENGTHENING AREA OF MID LEVEL LIFT AND
CONVERGENCE ESPECIALLY IN THE 850-700 MB LAYER. IN ADDITION, A
SOUTHERLY LOW-LEVEL JET AROUND 50 KNOTS IS FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN AREAS DURING THE DAY. THIS OCCURS AS THE
UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH GETS CLOSER AND BEGINS TO TAKE ON A NEGATIVE
TILT. AS A RESULT, A BAND OF RAIN QUICKLY DEVELOPS AND EXPANDS
NORTHWARD AND STRONG FORCING WITHIN A MOISTURE SURGE SHOULD PROMOTE
A PERIOD OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN. THE ONSET OF THIS MAY BE DELAYED
TO ALLOW SURFACE TEMPERATURES TO WARM JUST ENOUGH FARTHER NORTH,
ALTHOUGH THE GROUND TEMPERATURES ARE COLD AND WILL TAKE LONGER TO
RESPOND. THEREFORE, SOME LIGHT FREEZING RAIN/DRIZZLE CANNOT RULED
OUT FOR A TIME. THIS IS A TOUGH CALL, BUT IT ONLY TAKES A TRACE
OF ICE TO TRIGGER AN ADVISORY.

WE QUICKLY RAMP UP THE POPS TO CATEGORICAL ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA
DURING THE MORNING, THEN THEY BEGIN TO DECREASE LATER THIS AFTERNOON
FROM WEST TO EAST. WHILE A RUMBLE OF THUNDER CANNOT BE RULED OUT,
THIS MAY HAVE A BETTER CHC OF OCCURRING OFFSHORE AS THE SYSTEM GOES
NEGATIVELY TILTED AND THE SURFACE LOW STRENGTHENS AS IT LIFTS
NORTHEASTWARD. THE PERIOD OF HEAVY RAIN /1.0-1.5 INCHES NEAR AND
EAST OF INTERSTATE 95/ COULD RESULT IN SOME POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING,
HOWEVER THE OVERALL FLOOD THREAT LOOKS LIMITED AND THEREFORE NO
FLOOD WATCH WILL BE ISSUED ATTM.

AS FOR THE HIGH TEMPERATURES, WE USED A BLEND OF THE NAM/GFS MOS
OVERALL AND THIS PAINTS TEMPERATURES SPIKING TO AROUND 50 DEGREES
CLOSER TO THE COAST FOR A TIME LATER TODAY. WE HAVE LOWER CONFIDENCE
IN THE HIGHS FOR THE WESTERN ZONES THOUGH. THE LAMP/LAV GUIDANCE WAS
USED FOR ASSISTANCE IN THE HOURLY TEMPERATURE GRIDS THIS MORNING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM MONDAY/...
AS A NEGATIVELY TILTED UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH CROSSES THE AREA IN THE
EVENING, A STRENGTHENING SURFACE LOW IS FORECAST TO TRACK INTO NEW
ENGLAND. THIS WILL ALLOW THE STRONG FORCING TO QUICKLY SHIFT
OFFSHORE, AND THEREFORE THE RAIN WILL BE ENDING FROM WEST TO EAST
EARLY. IT APPEARS THAT EVEN AS THE CAA KICKS IN, THE RAIN IS ENDING
AND THEREFORE NOT MUCH OF A CHC THAT THE RAIN CHANGES TO SNOW BEFORE
ENDING.

THE WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST AND NORTHWEST AND MAY BECOME A BIT
GUSTY AS THE CAA ALLOWS FOR SOME BETTER MIXING AND THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT TIGHTENS. THE PRESENCE OF THE UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH AND
CYCLONIC FLOW MAY ALLOW FOR A FAIR AMOUNT OF STRATOCUMULUS ACROSS
THE AREA FOR AWHILE ESPECIALLY FARTHER NORTHWARD BEFORE MORE NOTABLE
CLEARING OCCURS.

AS FOR THE LOW TEMPERATURES, WE MOSTLY UTILIZED A BLEND OF THE
NAM/GFS MOS.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
MONDAY...AS THE LOW PULLS AWAY INTO NEW ENGLAND, THE ASSOCIATED MID
LEVEL TROUGH WILL GET PULLED ALONG WITH IT. THERE IS NOT A TON OF
MOISTURE LEFT BEHIND AS THE NORTHWEST FLOW STRENGTHENS AND WE SHOULD
HAVE A BIT MORE SUN AVAILABLE. AS THE NORTHWEST FLOW RAMPS UP, WE
COULD SEE SOME MOISTURE ADVECT IN FROM THE GREAT LAKES AREA WHERE
THE LAKES ARE STILL NOT FROZEN OVER YET, AND A FEW FLURRIES MAY
OCCUR. CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH THAT FLURRIES WILL OCCUR OVER THE
NORTHWESTERN ZONES AND WE HAVE LEFT THIS OUT OF THE GRIDS AT THIS
TIME. THE WINDS WILL BECOME GUSTY AS THE GRADIENT REALLY TIGHTENS UP
WITH THE DEPARTING DEEPENING LOW. EXPECT GUSTY WINDS, WITH GUSTS UP
AROUND 25 TO 30 MPH, TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAYTIME BEFORE STARTING
TO TAPER OFF TOWARD EVENING. TEMPERATURES WILL BE COLDER, MAYBE A
COUPLE OF DEGREES, THAN WHAT GUIDANCE IS SHOWING AS THE COLD AIR
MOVES IN .

TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...A WEAK HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM TRIES TO
BUILD ACROSS THE AREA BUT LOOKS MORE LIKE A BRIEF RIDGE FOR OUR
AREA. THIS SLIGHT RIDGING WILL HELP KEEP TUESDAY DRY AHEAD OF THE
NEXT SYSTEM. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST FOR
TUESDAY NIGHT AND WILL CROSS THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY. PRECIPITATION
STARTS TO MOVE IN DURING TUESDAY NIGHT AND WE SHOULD SEE THE
PRECIPITATION START OFF AS SNOW TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF THE I-95
CORRIDOR. POINTS TO THE SOUTH AND EAST MAY SEE MORE OF A RAIN/SNOW
MIX. GUIDANCE SHOWS THE LOW TRACKING MORE ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN AREAS.
THIS SOLUTION LEADS TO LESS SNOW IN PARTS OF THE AREA. HOWEVER,
SHOULD THE STORM SHIFT FURTHER TO SOUTH, WE COULD SEE MORE SNOW AND
LESS RAIN AND POSSIBLY HAVE A LIGHT SNOWFALL ACCUMULATION.
CONVERSELY, A SHIFT TO THE NORTH WOULD LESSEN THE CHANCES FOR SNOW
IN SOME AREAS. ALL PRECIPITATION LOOKS TO END BY WEDNESDAY EVENING
WITH WEDNESDAY NIGHT REMAINING DRY.

THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA
FROM THE WEST BUT REMAIN CENTERED TO THE SOUTHWEST OF OUR AREA. A
FEW SHORTWAVES EMBEDDED IN THE MIDLEVEL FLOW WILL ROTATE THROUGH OUR
AREA DURING THIS PERIOD. WHILE, THERE WILL BE A BIT OF MOISTURE IN
PLACE AS THESE WAVES MOVE THROUGH, FOR THE MOST PART WE EXPECT
CONDITIONS TO REMAIN DRY. THE MODELS HAVE BACKED OFF ON A LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING THROUGH ON FRIDAY AND KEEP IT TO THE SOUTH OF
THE AREA. THE MODELS ARE HINTING AT ANOTHER SYSTEM MOVING IN LATER
IN THE WEEKEND TOWARDS EARLY NEXT WEEK.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR NORMAL TO START THE PERIOD WITH A TREND
TOWARD BELOW NORMAL BY THE END OF THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

TODAY...IFR/LIFR THROUGH THE DAY AS PRECIP OVERSPREADS THE AREA
FROM SOUTH TO NORTH. FREEZING RAIN IS POSSIBLE AT KABE AND KRDG
THROUGH 17Z, FOR KPHL, KPNE, AND KTTN, THE TRANSITION TO RAIN IS
IMMENIENT AS OF 930 AM. KILG, KMIV, AND KACY SHOULD SEE ALL RAIN.
SOME OF RAIN CAN BE HEAVY AT TIMES ESPECIALLY FOR KTTN, KPNE,
KPHL, KILG ON EASTWARD FROM LATE MORNING UNTIL ABOUT MID
AFTERNOON. THIS ALONG WITH SOME POTENTIALLY DEVELOPING FOG WILL
REDUCE THE VISIBILITIES TO OR BELOW 3SM. THERE CAN BE SOME LIGHT
FREEZING RAIN/DRIZZLE NEAR AND NORTH AND WEST OF KPHL THROUGH
ABOUT 15Z. SOUTH-SOUTHEAST WINDS MAINLY LESS THAN 10 KNOTS, WHICH
MAY GO LOCALLY VARIABLE FOR AWHILE.

A LOW-LEVEL JET AROUND 50 KNOTS FROM A SOUTHERLY DIRECTION IS
ANTICIPATED TO MOVE ACROSS AT LEAST KMIV AND KACY FROM ABOUT 15Z TO
22Z, AND THEREFORE A LOW-LEVEL WIND SHEAR REMARK IS INCLUDED.

TONIGHT...A COLD FRONT RAPIDLY PIVOTS TO OUR NORTHEAST IN THE EARLY
EVENING, TAKING THE BAND OF RAIN WITH IT. THE RAIN SHOULD END
QUICKLY FROM WEST TO EAST WITH A WIND SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST WITH
SOME INCREASE. THE ARRIVAL OF DRIER AIR SHOULD ALLOW THE CEILINGS TO
RISE AND IMPROVE TO VFR. LIGHT SOUTHERLY WINDS SHIFTING TO THE WEST
AND NORTHWEST AND INCREASING TO 10-15 KNOTS.

OUTLOOK...
MONDAY...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED. GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS 10 TO
15 KNOTS WITH GUSTS AROUND 20 TO 25 KNOTS, HIGHER TOWARDS THE EAST.
WINDS WILL DIMINISH TOWARD THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

TUESDAY...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED...BECOMING MVFR IN RAIN/SNOW
SHOWERS TUESDAY NIGHT.

WEDNESDAY...MVFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED IN RAIN/SNOW WITH IFR OCCURRING
AT TIMES...BECOMING VFR DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING.

THURSDAY: VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED.

&&

.MARINE...
A SOUTHERLY FLOW TODAY AHEAD OF A SHARPENING UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH WILL
INCREASE. A LOW-LEVEL JET AROUND 50 KNOTS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA
LATER THIS MORNING AND THIS AFTERNOON, HOWEVER WARMING ALOFT WILL
KEEP AN INVERSION IN PLACE. THERE WILL BE ENOUGH MIXING THOUGH AND
THEREFORE GUSTS TO ABOUT 25 KNOTS SHOULD OCCUR ON THE COASTAL
WATERS. WHILE THE SURFACE FLOW MAY BE UP DELAWARE BAY FOR AWHILE, WE
ARE NOT ANTICIPATING A FUNNELING EFFECT AND WILL KEEP CONDITIONS
BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR NOW. THE SEAS WILL RESPOND TO THE
SOUTHERLY FLOW THROUGH THE DAY. A COLD FRONT SHIFTS QUICKLY OFFSHORE
THIS EVENING, ALLOWING FOR A WIND SHIFT TO THE WEST AND NORTHWEST.
THERE WILL BE CAA ALONG WITH A TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT TONIGHT,
WITH ADVISORY LEVELS GUSTS ANTICIPATED MAINLY ON THE COASTAL WATERS.
OUR CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO ISSUE A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
FOR DELAWARE BAY, THEREFORE ONE IS MAINTAINED FOR JUST THE COASTAL
WATERS.

OUTLOOK...
MONDAY...THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL CONTINUE THROUGH 6PM MONDAY
ON THE OCEAN. SEAS WILL REMAIN ABOVE 5 FEET THROUGH THE DAY WITH A
DOWNWARD TREND TOWARD MONDAY EVENING. SEAS MAY REMAIN SLIGHTLY
ELEVATED MONDAY EVENING BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH AT THIS TIME AND
THEREFORE WE HAVE NOT EXTENDED THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY INTO MONDAY
NIGHT. IN ADDITION TO THE SEAS, WE WILL HAVE GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS
WITH GUSTS TO 30 KNOTS THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL DIMINISH
MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING, FALLING BELOW 25 KNOTS.

WINDS ON THE LOWER DELAWARE BAY MAY NEAR 25 KNOTS AT TIMES IN THE
GUSTY NORTHWEST FLOW DURING MONDAY AFTERNOON AND A SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED. CONFIDENCE WAS NOT HIGH ENOUGH AT THIS
TIME AND THEREFORE WE DID NOT RAISE ONE WITH THIS FORECAST
PACKAGE.

TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...BOTH WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA.
