AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
604 PM EDT SUN OCT 18 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC STATES THROUGH
MONDAY MORNING, THEN SAG TO OUR SOUTH TUESDAY. AS IT DOES, A WEAK
COOL FRONT MAY EDGE DOWN INTO NORTHERN NEW JERSEY WEDNESDAY. NO
MATTER, IT LIFTS BACK TO OUR NORTH AS A WARM FRONT WEDNESDAY NIGHT
IN RESPONSE TO LOW PRESSURE MOVING ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA. THAT LOW
SENDS A COLD FRONT ACROSS OUR AREA THURSDAY. CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE
FOLLOWS FOR THE END OF THE WEEK INTO NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
THANK-YOU FOR ALL OF THE GRAUPEL REPORTS!

WE ARE EXTENDING POPS INTO THE EARLY EVENING AS SOME SHOWERS
ARE STILL OCCURRING. THE DOWNWARD TREND THOUGH APPEARS TO BE
GAINING TRACTION. OTHERWISE, NO FURTHER CHANGES WILL BE MADE WITH
THIS UPDATE.

A POTENT UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH IS MOVING ACROSS THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON. THERE IS A STRONG SHORT WAVE, MOSTLY CHANNELIZED
VORTICITY, ROUNDING THE BASE OF THIS TROUGH. THE COMBINATION OF
THESE FEATURES ALONG WITH COLD AIR ALOFT AND LOW FREEZING LEVELS IS
RESULTING IN SOME BRIEF RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS FROM NORTHWEST TO
SOUTHEAST. THE AIRMASS IS RATHER DRY BELOW THE CLOUD BASES,
THEREFORE SOME EVAPORATIVE COOLING IS PROBABLY PLAYING A ROLE WITH
SOME SNOW REACHING THE GROUND ACROSS THE WESTERN AREAS DESPITE A
MILDER BOUNDARY LAYER. SOME ICE PELLETS/GRAUPEL HAS BEEN REPORTED
WITH A STRONGER SHOWER, AND THIS IS ALSO BEING ENHANCED BY THE DRY
SUB-CLOUD LAYER OWING TO EVAPORATIONAL COOLING ALONG WITH LOW
FREEZING LEVELS. THIS ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE
SOUTHEASTWARD INTO EARLY THIS EVENING AS THE TROUGH AXIS AND SHORT
WAVE PIVOTS TO OUR EAST. WE THEN SET THE STAGE FOR A RATHER COLD
NIGHT.

AS THE TROUGH MOVES TO OUR EAST OVERNIGHT, STRONG HIGH PRESSURE FROM
THE OHIO VALLEY IS FORECAST TO BUILD OVER OUR AREA BY DAYBREAK. THIS
WILL ALLOW FOR LESS CLOUDS AND LIGHT WINDS. WE SHOULD HAVE GOOD
RADIATIONAL COOLING OVERNIGHT AND THEREFORE A COLD NIGHT IS
EXPECTED. THE OBSERVED TEMPERATURES THIS MORNING SHOWED THAT THE
GROWING SEASON HAS ENDED IN CARBON, MONROE AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES
IN PENNSYLVANIA; WARREN, SUSSEX, MORRIS, HUNTERDON, SOMERSET,
MERCER, MIDDLESEX AND ATLANTIC COUNTIES IN NEW JERSEY. HOWEVER SINCE
IT WILL BE EVEN COLDER LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY MORNING, AFTER
COORDINATING WITH OUR NEIGHBORING OFFICES AND TO LIMIT CONFUSION THE
FREEZE WARNING WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR EVEN THESE AREAS. THERE
WERE SEVERAL INTERIOR MESONET OBSERVATIONS IN MARYLANDS EASTERN
SHORE AND CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN DELAWARE THAT DROPPED INTO THE MID
30S EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS WAS ALSO THE CASE FOR PORTIONS OF
DELAWARE AND PHILADELPHIA COUNTIES. SINCE LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY
MONDAY MORNING IS EXPECTED TO BE COLDER, WE OPTED TO UPGRADE THE
FROST ADVISORY AREA TO A FREEZE WARNING.

A PNS WILL BE ISSUED MONDAY MORNING ANNOUNCING THE END OF THE FROST-
FREEZE PROGRAM IN THE APPROPRIATE ZONES-COUNTIES AND THIS ANNOUNCEMENT
WILL ALSO APPEAR IN OUR NEAR TERM SECTION OF THE AFD.

AS FOR THE LOW TEMPERATURES, WE USED MOSTLY A MOS BLEND WITH SOME
TWEAKS. THE HOURLY TEMPERATURE AND DEW POINT GRIDS WERE ADJUSTED
WITH THE LATEST OBSERVATIONS, THEN THE LAMP/LAV GUIDANCE WAS USED TO
ASSIST. THERE SHOULD BE A QUICK TEMPERATURE DROP THROUGH THIS
EVENING AS THE SKY CLEARS AND THE WINDS DIMINISH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
A WEAK RIDGE ALOFT WILL SLIDE ACROSS THE REGION DURING MONDAY. THIS
WILL DRIVE STRONG HIGH PRESSURE THAT IS INITIALLY OVER OUR AREA TO
GRADUALLY SETTLE IT SOUTH AND EAST DURING THE COURSE OF THE DAY. AS
THIS OCCURS, THE LOW-LEVEL FLOW WILL TURN MORE WESTERLY AND THEN
SOUTHWESTERLY. SINCE HIGH PRESSURE IS OVER THE REGION FOR MUCH OF
THE DAY, THE WINDS WILL BE LESS COMPARED TO THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS.
IN ADDITION, AFTER A RATHER COLD START TO THE DAY WE WILL REBOUND
ALTHOUGH GIVEN LESS MIXING AND DESPITE GRADUAL WARMING ALOFT WE ARE
EXPECTING TEMPERATURES TO STILL BE ON THE COOL SIDE. AT LEAST WITH
LESS WIND OVERALL IT SHOULD NOT FEEL AS COLD DURING THE AFTERNOON.

THE AIRMASS IS FORECAST TO BE RATHER DRY DURING MONDAY, THEREFORE
NOT MUCH IN THE WAY OF CLOUDINESS IS EXPECTED DESPITE SOME GRADUAL
WAA ALOFT. AS FOR THE HIGH TEMPERATURES, WE USED A MOS/CONTINUITY
BLEND OVERALL.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
DRY!

500 MB:  A WESTERLY FLOW OF ABOVE NORMAL HEIGHTS PREVAILS UNTIL A
SHORT WAVE SLIDES THROUGH SOUTHEAST CANADA THURSDAY AND FRIDAY,
THEN A RIDGE SHOULD DEVELOP ALONG THE EAST COAST NEXT WEEKEND.

TEMPERATURES: CALENDAR DAY AVERAGES NEAR OR JUST ABOVE NORMAL
TUESDAY...5 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.
THEREAFTER COOLING TO NEAR NORMAL FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AND MAYBE
WARMING SLIGHTLY NEXT SUNDAY?

RAIN: IT BASICALLY HASN'T MEASURED SINCE THE 9TH AT KPHL-KILG-KACY
AND THE MOST RECENT WPC7 DAY QPF BASICALLY HAS NO RAIN INTO SUNRISE
THE 25TH, OR YET AGAIN ANOTHER LONG STRETCH (THE THIRD TWO WEEK
STRETCH SINCE AUGUST 20TH) OF MEASURABLE RAINFREE DAYS THAT WILL
PROBABLY EXCEED 14 DAYS FOR KPH/KILG/KACY AND ELSEWHERE LESS THAN
.15 OCCURRED ON THE 13TH SO THAT TWO WEEK RAINFALL TOTALS OVER THE
REST OF OUR AREA WILL BE WHAT OCCURRED ON THE 13TH.

FORECAST BASIS:  UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, A 50 50 BLEND 12Z/18
GFS/NAM MOS GUIDANCE MONDAY NIGHT - TUESDAY NIGHT WITH NIGHTTIME
MINS LOWERED 3F IN THE COUNTRYSIDE SLOTS FROM KFWN-KPTW AND THE
KBLM-KMIV PINEBARREN SLOT, 12Z/18 GFS MEX MOS WEDNESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY NIGHT, THEN THE 1521Z/18 WPC GRIDDED ELEMENTS OF MAX/MIN
TEMP, 12 HOUR POP, 6 HOUR DEWPOINT- SKY-WIND FROM THURSDAY ONWARD
WITH THE MAX'S RAISED 3F ON THURSDAY AND 2F ON SUNDAY PER THE
WARM ECMWF 2M TEMPS.

THE DAILIES...

CONFIDENCE TUESDAY-THURSDAY...WELL ABOVE AVERAGE AND WELL ABOVE
AVERAGE FOR FRIDAY-SATURDAY BEING DRY BUT LESS CERTAIN ON TEMPS.
CONFIDENCE SUNDAY: AVERAGE.

TUESDAY...PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY AND WARMER! SOUTHWEST WIND GUSTY
15 TO 20 MPH IN THE AFTERNOON. MAX TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO
WARM NEARLY 14 DEGREES BETWEEN MONDAY AND TUESDAY. MAYBE WE CAN
CALL TUESDAY AS A DAY LEADING INTO A SHORT PERIOD OF INDIAN SUMMER
= A PERIOD IN MID TO LATE AUTUMN OF ABNORMALLY WARM WEATHER,
GENERALLY CLEAR SKIES, SUNNY BUT HAZY DAYS AND COOL NIGHTS,
TENDING TO FOLLOW A KILLING FROST.

WEDNESDAY...PARTLY SUNNY AND WARM IN THE WESTERLY FLOW AHEAD OF A
COOL FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE NORTH. THE FRONT MAY NOT MAKE ANY
SOUTHWARD PROGRESSION INTO THE AREA, AT MOST, THE VICINITY INTERSTATE
80? SINCE THERE IS NOT MUCH MOISTURE EXPECTED WITH IT, THE FORECAST
IS CURRENTLY DRY FOR WEDNESDAY. A LIGHT SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WIND.

THURSDAY...MIXED CLOUDS AND SUN AND AGAIN WARM! YEA! SOUTHWEST WIND
GUSTY 20 MPH. THEN ANOTHER COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS THE
AREA LATE THURSDAY. IT MAY BE ACCOMPANIED BY SPRINKLES OR MARGINAL
MEASURABLE IN THE POCONOS AND ADJACENT HILLY REGIONS,

FRIDAY-SUNDAY...CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES SOUTHEAST INTO NEW
ENGLAND BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND BUT WITH MODEL DETAIL UNCERTAINTY.
FAIR WX. COOLER FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. THERE SEEMS TO BE A WINDOW OF
OPPORTUNITY FOR ANOTHER COOL FRONT TO TRY AND GENERATE SHOWERS
BUT ITS A NARROW WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY IN THIS PROGRESSIVE
PATTERN.

.AVIATION /22Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,

SCT GUSTS 35 KT OCCURRING WITH CELLS CROSSING SEWD THROUGH
DELAWARE BAY. LIGHTNING IN NE MD. PROMPTED 430 PM SMW AND
SECOND ISSUANCE.

THE CAA CONTINUES THROUGH A PORTION OF TONIGHT.
THE CONDITIONS HAVE GENERALLY BEEN MARGINAL TODAY, HOWEVER THERE
COULD BE A SURGE FOR A TIME TONIGHT AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER COOLS
AND BEFORE THE PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES. STRONG SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO BE BUILDING IN LATE TONIGHT. AS A RESULT,
WE WILL MAINTAIN THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY ON THE LOWER DELAWARE
BAY THROUGH MIDNIGHT, AND ON THE ATLANTIC COASTAL WATERS THROUGH
TONIGHT. WE OPTED TO DROP THE ADVISORY FOR THE UPPER DELAWARE BAY
AS IT APPEARS MORE MARGINAL HERE. THE SEAS SHOULD REMAIN MAINLY IN
THE 2-4 FOOT RANGE. ON MONDAY, THE WINDS AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO
BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA.

OUTLOOK...

WE MAY NEED AN SCA FOR SW WIND GUSTS TO 25 KT IN THE NJ ATLANTIC
