Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
941 AM EDT Tue Oct 4 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure centered over the Canadian Maritimes will build to the
southwest today and tonight. The high is expected to influence our
weather for the balance of the week. Hurricane Matthew may have at
least an indirect impact on our region over the weekend. Another
area of high pressure is anticipated to arrive from the west for the
early part of next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
The water vapor imagery shows a trough axis shifting across and just
to our east this morning. There is a lot of mid level dry air over
our region as this feature is weakening and shifting eastward.
Meanwhile a building ridge is just to our west. This ridge is
allowing for surface high pressure to be centered over northern New
England to the Canadian Maritimes, which will build southwestward
into the Mid Atlantic region. This is producing a northeast flow
once again.

The 12z RAOB from Upton, NY sampled the low-level moist layer well
with drier air above. The moisture is beneath an inversion, which is
helping to trap it. As a result, areas of low clouds continue to
spread southwestward across a good portion of our area. Given the
much drier air above, the cloud cover and heights do vary. A few
sprinkles or brief light showers have been around especially across
the eastern areas, and this may continue for awhile given the push
from the northeast. Some fog remains this morning mainly in the
higher terrain of the Poconos.

It will be a bit breezy today particularly closer to the coast,
given the strengthening onshore flow. This along with more clouds
will hold temperatures down some. The hourly temperature and dew
point grids were adjusted with the latest obs, then the LAMP/LAV
guidance was blended in. No major changes were made to the high
temperatures at this time.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM WEDNESDAY/...
Temps will be cool tonight, with dry conds and high pres.
Overnight lows will be in the 50s.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
The area of high pressure to our northeast is forecast to gain
increasing influence over our weather on Wednesday with decreasing
cloud cover anticipated. Dry air will become established in our
region for the period from Wednesday night through Friday, when
the high is expected to begin retreating to the northeast.

We are not forecasting any precipitation for Wednesday, Thursday
or Friday. Temperatures should remain a bit above normal for early
October.

There remains a fair amount of uncertainty regarding the coming
weekend. The track and intensity of Hurricane Matthew will dictate
our weather with the big question being will the storm hug the
coast or will it move out to sea? We have maintained the chance of
showers for Saturday and Sunday along with breezy conditions. The
forecast is subject to significant changes if it begins to look as
though the hurricane will remain near the coast. The model trends
will continue to be monitored closely over the coming days.

Cool high pressure is forecast to arrive from the west early next
week.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.

Rest of Today...Varying ceilings, mostly between MVFR and VFR, as an
onshore flow becomes more established. Localized ceilings down to
1000 feet, however most ceilings should be in the 2000-3500 foot
range. The visibility should be mostly VFR now that the local fog is
dissipating. Northeasterly winds 10-15 knots, however some gusts to
20 knots are possible especially at ACY.

Tonight...Mainly VFR is anticipated as some drier air arrives from
the north-northeast. Localized ground fog though cannot be ruled out
overnight. Northeast winds diminishing to 5 knots or less.

OUTLOOK...
Wednesday through Friday night...Mainly VFR. However, late night
and early morning low clouds and fog are possible.

Saturday...Mainly VFR with a chance of showers. Conditions may
lower and the wind may increase depending upon the track of
Hurricane Matthew.

&&

.MARINE...
A SCA has been issued for the area waters due to increasing ne
flow, which will in turn, cause higher seas. The prev issued SCA
on the ocean is now joined by a SCA on DE Bay. It may be very
marginal for wind in spots, but we shud see at least some gusts to
around 25 kts. Seas will increase to around 7 feet.

OUTLOOK...
Wednesday....A Small Craft Advisory is in effect for
northeasterly wind gusts near 25 knots on our ocean waters and on
lower Delaware Bay. Waves on our ocean waters are forecast to be 5
to 7 feet and waves on lower Delaware bay should be 3 to 5 feet.

Wednesday night through Friday night...A persistent northeasterly
flow should keep wave heights in the 4 to 6 foot range on our
ocean waters.

Saturday...Conditions may worsen depending upon the track and
intensity of Hurricane Matthew.

&&

PA...None.
NJ...None.
DE...None.
MD...None.
