AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1246 PM EST FRI JAN 8 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE SITUATED OVER EASTERN CANADA WILL CONTINUE TO BE
DRAPED ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD THROUGH SATURDAY. MEANWHILE, A
WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES WILL LIFT
A WARM FRONT NORTHWEST OF OUR AREA FRIDAY NIGHT. A MUCH STRONGER
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY ON SUNDAY,
WITH ITS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT CROSSING OUR REGION SUNDAY NIGHT.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE IN FROM THE TENNESSEE VALLEY ON MONDAY AND
TUESDAY, FOLLOWED BY AN ALBERTA CLIPPER MOVING THROUGH THE GREAT
LAKES REGION, WHICH WILL LEAD TO ANOTHER COLD FRONT CROSSING OUR
AREA THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
HIGH PRESSURE WAS LOCATED OVER EASTERN CANADA EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON WITH A RIDGE AXIS EXTENDING SOUTHWESTWARD AND INTO OUR
REGION. LITTLE CHANGE IS ANTICIPATED FOR THE BALANCE OF THE DAY.

THE SKY OVER OUR FORECAST AREA WAS CLOUDY AROUND 1230 PM, EXCEPT
FOR SOME BREAKS AND THIN SPOTS OVER PARTS OF NORTHERN NEW JERSEY.
A LIGHT NORTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO BRING DRY AIR INTO OUR
REGION IN THE LOW LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE. AS A RESULT, THE CLOUD
DECK MAY LIFT A BIT DURING THE COURSE OF THE AFTERNOON WITH SOME
ADDITIONAL BREAKS POSSIBLE OVER NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW JERSEY
AND OVER ADJACENT PARTS OF EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA.

AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO BE IN THE 50S ON THE
DELMARVA SOUTH OF THE CANAL AND IN FAR SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY.
READINGS SHOULD BE IN THE 40S IN MUCH OF THE REMAINDER OF OUR
FORECAST AREA. SOME LOCATIONS IN THE FAR NORTH SHOULD NOT GET OUT
OF THE 30S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM SATURDAY/...
**WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY EXTREME NORTH PORTION OF OUR FORECAST
AREA**

50 50 BLENDED 00Z/8 MOS GUIDANCE WITH SREF POPS BLENDED IN AS
WELL. TEMPS USED THE BLENDED GFS/NAM MOS 3 HOURLIES AS THE GUIDE.

MULTIPLE MODELS BRING A SMIDGE OF QPF THE REGION NW OF I-95
TONIGHT. MODEL SOUNDINGS COULD ACTUALLY SUPPORT A LITTLE SNOW AT
THE START IN A FEW SPOTS, ESPECIALLY WITHIN ABOUT 2 HOURS OF 06Z
AND MOSTLY NORTHERN MOST MONROE COUNTY-POSSIBLY HIGH PT-WANTAGE
VERNON NJ. OTRW, SOME LIGHT FREEZING RAIN IN A MODEST INSTABILITY
BURST OF LIFT/RH/WAA ADVECTION.

CONFIDENCE HAS INCREASED SINCE 330 AM REGARDING A BRIEF PERIOD OF
SNOW KMPO AND POSSIBLY KFWN NEAR 06Z TONIGHT. THE ABOVE ZERO LAYER
IS MARGINALLY NEAR ZERO BELOW 5000 FT. NEEDS REEVAL WITH 12 AND
18Z CYCLES.

WEB SNOW AND GRAPHICS POSTED.

THERE IS STILL A CHANCE OF ICING JUST S OF I-80 AND WE MAY YET
HAVE TO ADD ANOTHER TIER OF COUNTIES SOUTH OF THE PRIMARY HIGH
TERRAIN ADVY AREA BUT THAT PROBABLY WOULDNT HAPPEN UNTIL AFTER 3
PM TODAY, IF THEN.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN CONTINUES TO FEATURE A SPLIT FLOW REGIME
ACROSS NORTH AMERICA. THE NORTHERN STREAM IS DOMINATED BY A MEAN
RIDGE ALONG THE WEST COAST AND A MEAN TROUGH IN THE GREAT LAKES,
ASSOCIATED WITH THE POLAR VORTEX OVER HUDSON'S BAY. THERE'S ALSO
AN INCREASING TENDENCY FOR HIGH LATITUDE BLOCKING BY THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK AS THE NORTH ATLANTIC OSCILLATION /NAO/ TRENDS MORE INTO
A NEGATIVE PHASE. MEANWHILE, THE SOUTHERN STREAM CONTINUES TO BE
VERY ACTIVE. THERE ARE TWO OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE PHASING OF BOTH
STREAMS, LATE THIS WEEKEND AND THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

CONFIDENCE IS BUILDING IN A STRONG STORM SYSTEM MOVING THROUGH
THE OHIO VALLEY ON SUNDAY, WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR BRIEF HEAVY
RAINFALL ACROSS THE REGION. THEREAFTER, THE FOCUS WILL BE ON AN
ALBERTA CLIPPER MOVING THROUGH THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY. THERE IS
UNCERTAINTY W/ THIS FEATURE REGARDING JUST WHERE THE PHASING OF
THE TWO STREAMS OCCURS, WHICH WILL DETERMINE THE LOCATION OF
REDEVELOPMENT, WITH MODEL SOLUTIONS DIVERGING FROM CAPE COD TO
JUST OFF THE VA CAPES. THIS WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY, AS
MODEL THERMAL PROFILES WOULD SUPPORT FROZEN PRECIPITATION.

THE MAIN CONCERN SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY IS THE POTENTIAL FOR
BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL, THUNDERSTORMS, AND RECORD HIGHS. COULD SEE
SOME URBAN POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING AND THE SETUP IS FAVORABLE FOR
QLCS-TYPE THUNDERSTORMS LATE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. SUNDAY,
SOME RECORD HIGHS ARE IN JEOPARDY AND THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR
COASTAL FLOODING. MORE INFO ON BOTH OF THESE TOPICS BELOW.

GENERALLY FAIR WEATHER AND COLDER NEXT WEEK. LOW CONFIDENCE.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

CEILINGS ARE FORECAST TO FAVOR THE 2000 TO 3000 FOOT RANGE AT OUR
EIGHT TAF SITES INTO THIS EVENING. HOWEVER, PATCHES OF CLOUDS WITH
BASES AROUND 1500 FEET MAY DRIFT OVERHEAD FROM THE NORTHEAST AT
TIMES.

PREVAILING CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO LOWER INTO THE 1000 TO 2000
FOOT RANGE FOR THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. AN AREA OF LIGHT RAIN IS
ANTICIPATED TO MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN PART OF OUR REGION AND
IT IS FORECAST TO AFFECT KRDG AND KABE.

LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SHOULD REMAIN TRAPPED IN OUR REGION FOR
SATURDAY WITH CEILINGS EXPECTED TO FAVOR THE IFR RANGE FOR MUCH OF
THE DAY.

THE WIND IS FORECAST TO REMAIN FROM THE NORTHEAST THROUGH THE TAF
PERIOD AT SPEEDS OF 10 KNOTS OR LESS.

OUTLOOK...
SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...EXPECT WIDESPREAD IFR IN LOW CEILINGS
AND +SHRA. CANNOT RULE OUT A TSRA SUNDAY MORNING. IMPROVEMENT IS
EXPECTED BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON, W/ MVFR, AND PERHAPS EVEN VFR
CONDITIONS. LLWS IS LIKELY ON SUNDAY MORNING AS A SOUTHERLY LOW-
LEVEL JET TRAVERSES THE TERMINALS. WINDS WILL SHIFT FROM THE
SOUTHEAST SATURDAY NIGHT TO SOUTHWEST SUNDAY MORNING, WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR GUSTS AROUND 35 KNOTS.

SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED. WINDS BECOME
WESTERLY EARLY SUNDAY NIGHT WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTS TO 30
KNOTS THROUGH THE DAY MONDAY.

TUESDAY...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY...SCA HAZARDOUS SEAS HAZARDS ARE POSTED WITH VARYING START
TIMES AS EASTERLY SWELLS FROM A DEPARTING OCEAN STORM BUILD BACK
TO OUR COAST. DE BAY NO HAZARDS THROUGH TONIGHT.

MWW HAS THE DETAILS.

OUTLOOK...
SATURDAY...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WATERS WITH A CONTINUED LIGHT
EASTERLY FLOW. SEAS GRADUALLY BUILD AND ARE FORECASTED TO REACH
FIVE FEET DURING THE DAY, THUS A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY /SCA/ FOR
HAZARDOUS SEAS WAS ISSUED FOR SATURDAY. HIGH CONFIDENCE.

SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...A SOUTHERLY LOW-LEVEL JET WILL LEAD
TO A RAPID INCREASE IN WINDS SATURDAY NIGHT. WITH INCREASINGLY
WARMER AIR ADVECTING OVER THE COOLER WATERS, AN INVERSION WILL
SETUP WITH THE WIND LARGELY OWING TO THE PRESSURE GRADIENT, AS A
STRONG AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY AND HIGH
PRESSURE IS LOCATED OVER THE CANADIAN MARITIMES. SOUTHERLY WINDS
WILL GUST FROM 25 TO 30 KNOTS, WITH SEAS BUILDING TO 8FT. FOR
SUNDAY, WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE SOUTHWEST IN THE MORNING, WITH
GUSTS TO 35 KNOTS POSSIBLE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. GIVEN THE
AFOREMENTIONED, AS WELL AS MODELS TRENDING STRONGER REGARDING
WINDS, A GALE WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR SUNDAY. HIGH CONFIDENCE.

SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...WINDS WILL BECOME WEST-NORTHWEST W/
GUSTS TO 34 KNOTS POSSIBLE SUNDAY NIGHT POSSIBLY INTO MONDAY
MORNING. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY SUBSIDE, BUT GUSTS TO 25 KNOTS WILL
CONTINUE INTO MONDAY AFTERNOON, THUS GALE OR SMALL CRAFT HEADLINES
WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED. MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...WINDS/SEAS SHOULD SUBSIDE TO BELOW SCA
CRITERIA MONDAY NIGHT, BUT THE WIND MAY AGAIN INCREASE TO THE SCA
THRESHOLD ON TUESDAY. LOW CONFIDENCE.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
WITH THE NEW MOON ON SATURDAY AND AN INCREASING FLOW EASTERLY
FLOW, TIDES COULD APPROACH THE MINOR COASTAL FLOOD LEVEL.
CURRENTLY THE TIDE WITH THE HIGHEST FORECAST IS SUNDAY MORNING.
ALSO, BEHIND THE STORM SYSTEM, STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS WILL
DEVELOP. CURRENT ETSS FORECASTS IN INDICATING THE POSSIBILITY OF
APPROACHING BLOW OUT FOR SOME AREAS, ESPECIALLY THE DELAWARE BAY
AND POSSIBLY THE TIDAL DELAWARE RIVER.

&&

.CLIMATE...
OUR CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING THAT DAILY RECORD HIGHS FOR SUNDAY
JAN 10 MAY BE CHALLENGED AT MOST OF OUR CLIMATE SITES. THEY ARE
LISTED BELOW:
