Area forecast discussion, Feb 16, 10:31 AM EST, 4 hours 42 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1031 AM EST TUE FEB 16 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH OF THE AREA THIS MORNING, FOLLOWED
BY A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND COLD FRONT THIS AFTERNOON. A
WEAKENING COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA LATE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD ACROSS THE AREA LATER THURSDAY INTO EARLY FRIDAY, BEFORE
MOVING OFFSHORE LATER FRIDAY. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND INTO SOUTHERN CANADA FRIDAY, PULLING A
WARM FRONT ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT, THEN A COLD FRONT
SATURDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
THE WARM FRONT HAS MOVED THROUGH THE REGION AS OF 10 AM...WITH
TEMPERATURES RISING INTO THE 50S AT MOST LOCATIONS. THE HEAVIER
RAIN OVER EASTERN PA AND DELMARVA WILL OVERSPREAD THE REGION
THIS MORNING AND CONTINUE INTO THIS AFTERNOON. WHILE THERE IS A
STOUT INVERSION ALOFT WHICH WILL PROHIBIT STRONGER WINDS FROM
MIXING DOWN, GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH POSSIBLE IN HEAVIER RAIN BANDS.
WE HAVE MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO POPS, BRINGING THEM IN LINE
WITH CURRENT RADAR AND SHORT RANGE MODEL TRENDS. OTHERWISE,
ADJUSTMENTS WERE MADE TO TEMPERATURES, TIMING THE WARM FRONT
THROUGH THE REGION, AS WELL AS MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE WINDS.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
SOME SPECTACULAR TEMPERATURE CHANGES DURING THIS TIME PERIOD.
FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY ENDS IN NEXT TIER OF ZONES AT 500 AM AND
THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY ENDS IN THE FAR NORTH AT 700 AM. LAST
SEVERAL RUNS OF HRRR ARE ADAMANT THAT AIR TEMPERATURES WILL BE
ABOVE FREEZING ACROSS THE REGION BY 600 AM, AND ON THEIR WAY TO
HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR MUCH OF THE REGION WELL INTO THE 50S LATER
TODAY. THAT AGREES WELL WITH OUR PREVIOUS FORECAST AND CURRENT
FORECAST FOLLOWS THAT SCENARIO.
PRECIPITATION IS EBBING FOR THE TIME BEING WITH JUST SOME VERY LIGHT
PRECIPITATION (IF ANYTHING) DURING MUCH OF THE EARLY TO MID MORNING
HOURS.
THE COLD FRONT THIS AFTERNOON WILL BRING A ROUND OF MODERATE TO
HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS THE REGION. STRONG FORCING WILL BRING SOME
VERY STRONG WINDS INTO THE REGION JUST OFF THE SURFACE. THE
STRONGER STORMS MAY BE ABLE TO TAP INTO THOSE WINDS, SO BE PREPARED
FOR SOME STRONG GUSTY WINDS WITH THE HEAVIER RAIN SHOWERS. A
RUMBLE OF THUNDER IS ALSO STILL POSSIBLE.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM WEDNESDAY/...
THE HEAVY RAINFALL IS EXPECTED TO BE EXITING THE AREA VERY EARLY IN
THIS TIME PERIOD. DIMINISHING CLOUD COVER AND MODERATE WESTERLY
WINDS ARE EXPECTED DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. SUPERBLEND WAS USED FOR
THE OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURE FORECAST AND RESULTED IN ONLY MINOR
CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
QUIETER/DRIER WEATHER IS IN STORE FOR MOST OF THE AREA, AT LEAST FOR
THE BEGINNING OF THE LONG TERM FORECAST. MORE PRECIPITATION COULD
RETURN FOR SOME OF THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK.
ON WEDNESDAY, THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT BROUGHT ALL THE RAIN
TUESDAY WILL BE WAY TO OUR NORTH, WHILE HIGH PRESSURE APPROACHES
FROM THE WEST. THIS WILL KEEP A GENERAL WEST-NORTHWEST FLOW ACROSS
THE AREA. A WEAKENING COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA DURING THE DAY,
WHILE A SHORT WAVE/VORTICITY IMPULSE SLIDES ACROSS THE AREA. IT IS
POSSIBLE SOME LIGHT SHOWERS MAY AFFECT THE FAR NORTHWESTERN ZONES OF
OUR AREA, BUT MOST EVERYONE SHOULD REMAIN DRY. IF THE FRONT HOLDS
TOGETHER, IT WOULDN'T CROSS UNTIL WEDNESDAY NIGHT, BUT ANY
PRECIPITATION WILL DISSIPATE AS IT MOVES ACROSS THE AREA.
HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY
NIGHT, CENTERING ITSELF ACROSS THE AREA EARLY FRIDAY, THEN BEGINS TO
BUILD OFFSHORE DURING THE DAY FRIDAY. DRY WEATHER IS CURRENTLY
EXPECTED THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY AS THE HIGH BUILDS ACROSS THE AREA.
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION
FRIDAY AND INTO SOUTHERN CANADA FRIDAY NIGHT, PULLING A WARM FRONT
ACROSS THE AREA, FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONT EARLY SATURDAY. THERE
COULD BE ENOUGH LOW-MID LEVEL MOISTURE COMBINED WITH A PASSING SHORT
WAVE/VORTICITY IMPULSE TO CREATE SOME PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE AREA.
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT TEMPERATURES COULD BE COLD ENOUGH FOR A WINTRY
MIX TO OCCUR, ESPECIALLY ACROSS FAR NORTHERN AREAS WHERE SOME
FREEZING RAIN MAY OCCUR. SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION MAY FOLLOW DURING
THE DAY SATURDAY AS THE FRONT PASSES ACROSS THE AREA, BUT ANY
PRECIPITATION MAY ACTUALLY CHANGE TO RAIN DURING THE DAY.
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY IS EXPECTED TO BE DRY IN THE WAKE OF THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE. BUT THIS MAY NOT LAST LONG. THERE IS INDICATION THAT
ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND FRONTAL BOUNDARY COULD AFFECT THE
AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK. THERE ARE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GFS AND
ECMWF, WITH THE GFS DEVELOPING A LOW TO OUR SOUTHWEST AND MOVING IT
ACROSS THE AREA. THE LATEST ECMWF THE LOW TO OUR WEST AND PASSES IT
NORTH OF THE AREA. DEPENDING ON THE TRACK OF THIS DEVELOPING LOW, IT
IS POSSIBLE ANOTHER ROUND OF WINTRY PRECIPITATION COULD AFFECT THE
AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.AVIATION /15Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.
TODAY...CEILINGS LOWERING TO IFR AS RAIN OVERSPREADS THE REGION.
WE ALSO EXPECT SOME FOG...PARTICULARLY AT ABE, RDG, AND ACY.
SOUTHEAST WINDS 15 TO 25 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 35 KNOTS POSSIBLE
BEFORE VEERING TO THE SOUTHWEST THIS AFTERNOON. LOW-LEVEL WIND
SHEAR IS EXPECTED FOR THIS MORNING AND EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AS A
SOUTHERLY LOW-LEVEL JET NEAR 65 KNOTS MOVES ACROSS THE AREA.
TONIGHT...GENERALLY MVFR.
OUTLOOK...
WEDNESDAY-FRIDAY...MAINLY VFR. GUSTY AFTERNOON WINDS AROUND 20
KNOTS.
FRIDAY NIGHT...LIGHT RAIN OR LIGHT WINTRY MIX ACROSS THE NORTH
MAY AFFECT THE AREA AND RESULT IN SUB-VFR CONDITIONS.
SATURDAY-GENERALLY VFR. SOME LIGHT RAIN POSSIBLE DURING THE
DAY.GUSTY AFTERNOON WINDS 20-25 KNOTS POSSIBLE.
&&
.MARINE...
GALE WARNINGS CONTINUE AS VERY STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS DEVELOP IN
RESPONSE TO RAPIDLY INTENSIFYING SURFACE LOW TRACKING INLAND UP
THE EAST COAST.
THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED AROUND MIDDAY TODAY AS A LINE OF
HEAVIER RAIN AND POSSIBLY EMBEDDED THUNDER CROSSES THE COASTAL
WATERS...W/ LOCALIZED STORM FORCE GUSTS POSSIBLE ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS LINE.
OVERALL...THIS IS EXPECTED TO BE A HIGH END GALE EVENT. SEAS ON
THE ATLC WATERS SHOULD RISE TO BETWEEN 10 AND 13 FT.
AS THE COLD FRONT PASSES OVER THE WATERS LATE TODAY INTO TONIGHT,
THERE SHOULD AGAIN BE GALE FORCE GUSTS, AS WINDS VEER FROM SOUTH
TO SOUTHWEST. WINDS WILL BECOME WEST OVERNIGHT AND DIMIMISH TO
SUB-GALE LEVELS AFTER MIDNIGHT.
OUTLOOK...
WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVEL SEAS MAY REMAIN
ACROSS THE AREA. WINDS COULD GUST 20-25 KNOTS AS WELL.
THURSDAY NIGHT-FRIDAY...SUB SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS
WITH HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE WATERS.
FRIDAY NIGHT-SATURDAY...WINDS LIKELY TO INCREASE TO SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS, WITH POSSIBLE NEAR GALE FORCE GUSTS FRIDAY
NIGHT SATURDAY MORNING.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
THERE STILL REMAINS THE THREAT FOR SOME URBANIZED AND POOR
DRAINAGE FLOODING AT TIMES LATER THIS MORNING AND INTO THIS
AFTERNOON WITH THE HEAVY RAIN. WHERE STORM DRAINS ARE BLOCKED BY
SNOW, ICE AND DEBRIS, POOR DRAINAGE STREET FLOODING IS POSSIBLE.
ONE TO ONE AND A HALF INCHES OF RAINFALL, POSSIBLY UP TO TWO
INCHES IN SOME AREAS, FALLING ON TOP OF THE SNOW COULD MAKE FOR
EFFICIENT RUNOFF AND CAUSE SOME LOCALIZED FLOODING, ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE NORTHERN TWO THIRDS OF THE AREA. AREAS ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN THIRD MAY NOT GET AS MUCH RAIN, ONLY A HALF INCH TO ONE
INCH.
THERE WILL ALSO BE SHARP RISES ON OUR LOCAL CREEKS, STEAMS, AND
RIVERS. HOWEVER, NONE OF THE FORECAST RIVER GAUGES ARE EXPECTED TO
GET TO FLOOD STAGE AT THIS TIME.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MODERATE SOUTHERLY FLOW TODAY SHOULD PUSH
WATER UP CHESAPEAKE BAY AND UP DELAWARE BAY AND INTO THE TIDAL
DELAWARE RIVER. HOWEVER, MOST OF THE AVAILABLE GUIDANCE STILL
SUGGESTS THAT NO FLOODING WILL OCCUR.
