Special Weather Statement, NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
324 PM EDT THU AUG 20 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA THIS AFTERNOON WILL CROSS
THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC OVERNIGHT. THE FRONT WILL MOVE OFFSHORE FRIDAY
AND THEN STALL THROUGH THE WEEKEND. LOW PRESSURE WELL OFFSHORE WILL
STRENGTHEN AND MOVE TOWARD THE COAST SATURDAY AND SUNDAY..BUT THEN
TURN EASTWARD MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL RIDGE ACROSS OUR AREA
MONDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY
TUESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL FOLLOW FOR THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
A WARM MUGGY, RAINY NIGHT LOOKS TO BE IN STORE FOR OUR REGION.

A COLD FRONT WILL GRADUALLY APPROACH FROM THE WEST BUT ISN'T LIKELY
TO MAKE IT INTO OUR AREA UNTIL LATE TONIGHT. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON WILL DIMINISH THIS
EVENING BUT ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED
AS THE FRONT PUSHES INTO THE AREA. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE
RUNNING HIGH SO WE EXPECT HEAVY RAINMAKERS TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE
AREA. WE WILL ALSO HAVE ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR THUNDER TO OCCUR.
ALTHOUGH, THE BEST LIFT LOOKS TO BE TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF THE I-
95 CORRIDOR. WITH THE WINDS DIMINISHING TONIGHT STORMS MAY NOT MOVE
ALL THE QUICKLY AND FLASH FLOODING WILL BE A PROBLEM.

TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL BE WARM AND IT WILL BE QUITE MUGGY OUTSIDE
AS PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS ACROSS THE REGION.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
THE COLD FRONT GRADUALLY MAKES ITS WAY THROUGH OUR AREA ON FRIDAY.
ITS NOT THE FASTEST MOVING FRONT BUT THROUGH THE DAY WE SHOULD SEE
IMPROVING CONDITIONS FROM WEST TO EAST. THE SKIES WILL BECOME LESS
CLOUDY AND THE RAIN SHOULD END, WITH EASTERN POINTS POSSIBLY SEEING
SOME SHOWERS INTO THE LATE AFTERNOON.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE A TAD COOLER AS WE SEE SOME COOLER AIR MOVE IN
ON THE NORTHWEST FLOW BUT IT WON'T BE THE AIR TEMPERATURE THAT WE
NOTICE THE MOST. IT WILL BE THE LOWER DEWPOINTS, WHICH WILL MAKE IT
DRIER AND MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE TO BE OUTSIDE IN THE LOW TO MID 80S
MOST OF THE AREA WILL BE SEEING. THE COASTAL STRIP AND THE
NORTHWESTERN MOST POINTS LOOK TO REMAIN IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
FRI NIGHT THRU SUN NIGHT...THE WEAK FRONT OFFSHORE AND LOW PRESSURE
OUT TO SEA WILL KEEP A SLGT CHC FOR SHOWERS ACROSS THE COASTAL
WATERS AND ADJACENT AREAS THRU THE WEEKEND. MUCH OF THE TIME WILL BE
RAIN-FREE...BUT EXTRA CLOUDINESS AND A NE WIND WILL KEEP THINGS
HUMID ACROSS THE ERN AREAS. WRN PARTS OF THE AREA WILL BE CLOSER TO
THE HIGH PRESSURE AREA...SO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES SAT/SUN WITH MILD
TEMPERATURES. TEMPERATURES SAT AND SUN WILL BE WITHIN A FEW DEGREES
OF NORMAL WITH MOSTLY LOW/MID 80S ACROSS MOST AREAS.

MON THRU TUE...STRONG LOW PRESSURE MOVING ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA AND
A COLD FRONT WILL AFFECT THE REGION. THERE WILL BE CHC FOR SHOWERS
MON THRU TUE...BUT THE FRONT WILL BE WEAKENING AS IT MOVES TOWARD
THE AREA. TEMPERATURES MON WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL WITH MID/UPPER 80S
ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHER AREAS WITH LOW/MID 80S NORTH.

TUE NIGHT THRU THU...A MOSTLY DRY PATTERN WITH HIGH PRESSURE MOVING
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND NEW ENGLAND. TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL
WITH LOW DEW POINTS. OVERNIGHT LOWS MAY DROP INTO THE 50S ACROSS THE
NORTH AND COOLER RURAL AREAS OF SRN NJ AND THE DELMARVA.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY, AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

REST OF TODAY...VFR CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON WILL GRADUALLY BECOME
MVFR, POSSIBLY IFR, AS SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP
AND OVERSPREAD THE REGION. WINDS ARE ARE BIT GUSTY OUT OF THE SOUTH
SOUTHEAST 10 TO 15 KNOTS WITH GUSTS AROUND 20 KNOTS.

TONIGHT... THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE
AND MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH
FROM THE WEST LATE TONIGHT AND ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO CROSS THE TERMINALS. THE COLD FRONT
WILL START TO MOVE THROUGH THE TERMINALS LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY
MORNING AND CONDITIONS WILL START TO IMPROVE.

FRIDAY...THE COLD FRONT SHOULD BE MOVING TOWARD THE COAST AND MAKE
IT OFFSHORE FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND WE SHOULD START TO SEE CONDITIONS
IMPROVE FROM MVFR/IFR TO VFR. WINDS WILL BE OUT OF THE NORTHWEST
AROUND 10 KNOTS OR LESS. HOWEVER, IN THE VICINITY OF THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY, WINDS MAY BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME
BEFORE PICKING UP OUT OF THE NORTHWEST.

OUTLOOK...
FRI NIGHT THRU SUNDAY NIGHT...MOSTLY VFR. SCATTERED SHOWERS
    ESPECIALLY SOUTH/EAST. PATCHY FOG DURING THE MORNING.
MON THRU TUESDAY...MOSTLY VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
SUB-ADVISORY CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ON THE AREA WATERS.

SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING AND THE OVERNIGHT
PERIOD. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION LATE TONIGHT AND IT
DOESN'T LOOK TO GET TO THE COAST UNTIL FRIDAY AFTERNOON. WINDS IN
THE VICINITY OF THE FRONT WILL GO LIGHT AND BEHIND THE FRONT SHOULD
GO TO THE WEST AND THEN NORTHWEST WITH SPEEDS REMAINING AROUND 10
KNOTS. SEAS WILL REMAIN AROUND 2 TO 3 FEET THROUGH THE FRIDAY.

OUTLOOK...
WINDS AND SEAS WILL REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA. A LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM WELL OFFSHORE THIS WEEKEND MAY KEEP SEAS ON THE
OCEAN CLOSE TO 3 OR 4 FT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
A FIRST ROUND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE ALREADY MOVING IN FROM THE
SOUTHWEST DURING THE MID AFTERNOON. EMBEDDED HEAVIER SHOWERS AND
STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING RAINFALL RATES OF 2+ INCHES PER
HOUR (JUST UPSTREAM IN YORK, PA - KTHV - RECORDED 2.44 INCHES IN
AN HOUR). THIS FIRST ROUND OF CONVECTION WILL TARGET ABOUT THE
WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA (E PA/DELMARVA/NW NJ) THRU THE REST OF
THE AFTERNOON.

THERE WILL BE A SECOND ROUND OF LOCALLY HEAVY PRECIP THAT MOVES IN
FROM THE WEST TONIGHT THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH A SLOW-MOVING COLD
FRONT. THIS COULD ALSO PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL RATES.

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WAS ISSUED FOR EASTERN PA AND NW NJ, WHERE THEY
ARE MOST LIKELY TO BE IMPACTED BY BOTH ROUNDS OF HEAVY PRECIP.
LOCALIZED RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 3 TO 4+ INCHES ARE POSSIBLE. THIS
WOULD BE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE FLASH FLOODING. ALSO INCLUDED THE URBAN I-
95 CORRIDOR IN THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH, WHERE FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE IS
LOWER (2 INCHES PER HOUR WILL BE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE FLASH FLOODING).

THE MODELS HAVE TRENDED FASTER WITH THE COLD FRONT, WHICH SHORTENS
THE TIME WINDOW FOR THE THREAT OF FLOODING. THE HEAVY RAIN SHOULD BE
MOVING TOWARD OR EVEN OFF THE NJ COAST BY RUSH HOUR.

BASED ON THE SMALL SCALE/CONVECTIVE NATURE OF THE HEAVY RAIN, WE ARE
NOT ANTICIPATING RIVER FLOODING ON THE LARGER BASINS. THE SETUP
FAVORS SMALL STREAMS, CREEKS AND URBAN/POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING
PROBLEMS.

&&

.RIP CURRENTS...
WE WILL CONTINUE THE MODERATE RISK FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF DANGEROUS
RIP CURRENTS AT THE NEW JERSEY SHORE WHILE WE KEEP THE RISK AT LOW
FOR THE DELAWARE BEACHES. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON
AND TONIGHT. EXIT THE WATER PROMPTLY WHEN YOU HEAR THUNDER.
