Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
358 PM EDT SAT JUL 9 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will slide through our region tonight. Beginning Sunday,
high pressure will slowly build towards our region, shifting over
our region by Monday and off shore by Tuesday night. A warm front
lifts through our region Wednesday, bringing hot and humid
conditions for Thursday. Another cold front may arrive Friday or
Friday night.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
At 19Z, the backdoor front was located along a line from central
Delmarva into Berks County, PA. Thunderstorms were firing along
this feature, and moving east-southeast. This front will move to the
northeast as a warm front this evening, with portions of the Lehigh
Valley and southern NJ getting into the warm sector. From these
points south, we have continued enhanced wording in the forecast and
Hazardous Weather Outlook for gusty winds and hail. Although the
primary threat is gusty winds, we cannot rule out marginally severe
hail in more robust cells closer to the front. There is also the
potential for heavy downpours, with a consensus of the short range
and high resolution guidance suggesting the greatest threat along a
corridor from the Lehigh Valley into southern NJ.

With the loss of instability and drier air advecting into the area,
convection should end by midnight. We expect another round of low
clouds tonight, particularly over portions of the Lehigh Valley and
northern NJ. In addition, our local tools suggest some patchy fog
over this area as well, as near-surface winds may decouple enough,
therefore, it was included in the forecast.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
A partly sunny day is expected with lower humidity values. As a
mid-level disturbance moves by to the north, there continues to
be a chance of late morning and afternoon showers, with a rumble
of thunder possible, mainly north of I-80. Temperatures will be
at seasonable levels with west-northwest winds gusting to 20 mph.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Monday and Tuesday...Although we will still be near normal, if not
slightly above normal on Tuesday, the start of the work week will
feel considerably more comfortable than what we have seen lately.
The surface high building over the region will keep conditions
mostly dry through this period, and dew points should stay at more
comfortable levels. A warming trend is possible on Tuesday as 1000
to 500 mb thicknesses increase in response to the approaching upper
level ridge.

Wednesday...As the surface high shifts further offshore, southerly
return flow develops, resulting in considerable moisture advection.
A warm front is expected to lift through the region, although its
effects on Wednesday may be muted on the Coastal Plains as onshore
flow could keep a cool marine layer in place form much of the day.
Additionally, an upper level short wave trough will approach from
the west late in the day on Wednesday. The combination of increasing
moisture and synoptic scale lift ahead of the trough will result in
increasing precip chances especially late in the day and for
locations generally west of the fall line.

Thursday through Saturday...with the maritime Tropical air mass in
place, our region returns to a hot and humid pattern. Heat index
values near 100 degrees and thunderstorms will be possible Thursday
and Friday. Another cold front may arrive as early as late Friday,
but models have backed off on just how far south the front will get
before stalling. If it does reach our region, Saturday will likely
be back to near normal temperatures. Otherwise, it may be similar to
the previous two days.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.

Tonight...MVFR/IFR at times with evening showers and thunderstorms.
MVFR is possibly as low clouds advect into the region, and we cannot
rule out patchy fog as well.

Saturday...VFR after low clouds clear out early in the morning. Similar
to Friday, MVFR/IFR possible in afternoon showers and
thunderstorms.

Outlook...

Sunday through Tuesday...Mostly VFR conditions expected.

Wednesday...Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are possible during
the afternoon across the region. Low stratus is possible for the
Coastal Plains TAF sites (KMIV, KACY) especially in the morning.

Thursday...Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible
through the day, otherwise mostly VFR conditions are expected.

&&

.MARINE...
Winds and seas should remain well below Small Craft Advisory criteria
Friday night into Saturday.

Outlook...

Monday through Thursday...winds and seas should stay below SCA
criteria through this period.

RIP CURRENTS: Based on the expected wind, wave and swell conditions,
we are anticipating a low risk for the development of dangerous
rip currents for Saturday along the New Jersey shore and at the
Delaware Beaches.
