Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
1114 AM EDT SAT JUL 16 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A weak frontal boundary will stall across the area this morning.
The front will then dissipate over the area through the remainder
of the weekend. Low pressure will track across eastern Canada
early next week. The cold front from this system is expected to
move through the mid- Atlantic region late Monday into early
Tuesday. High pressure builds in from the upper Midwest late
Tuesday through Thursday. The center of the high will eventually
shift south and east of the area toward the end of the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
The frontal boundary has stalled out across our area this
morning, and weak low pressure looks to be forming near
southeastern Pennsylvania, northern Delmarva, and southern New
Jersey.

Near term guidance continues to indicate some isolated/scattered
showers/thunderstorms developing during the day with daytime
instability building and enhanced lift from an approaching short
wave to our west. Otherwise, partly to mostly cloudy skies are
expected across the area through the day.

High temps will still be in the lower 90s in most areas so both
temps and dew points will be similar to Friday.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM SUNDAY/...
With low pres moving through the region, and at least one s/wv
precip chcs will continue, at least erly. However, there is some
disagreement within the guid, as the ECMWF is essentially dry durg
the overnight hours. So, for now will maintain some low pops.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
The synoptic pattern at the surface and in the low levels will
feature Bermuda high pressure that extends westward into the
Southeast and Gulf Coast states through much of the long term. A
mid and upper-level ridge over the southern CONUS will initially
be rather flat on Sunday and then amplify into a strong
anticyclone (near 600 dam geopotential height at 500 hPa) over the
Great Plains during the upcoming work week. To the north of the
ridge, the sub- tropical jet stream will reside over the northern
CONUS through much of the period. The jet stream will contain
numerous fast- moving shortwave disturbances that track across the
northern states next week.

Here in the northern mid-Atlantic region, we could be impacted by a
few of these shortwave disturbances tracking around the northern
periphery of the ridge, particularly, the troughs that are able to
amplify and dig farther south into our latitude. Timing these fast-
moving systems in the pattern are difficult, but the latest model
guidance is converging toward two or three separate disturbances
that would give us a chance for showers and storms as they pass
through the area.

The first of these shortwave troughs is expected to pass through
our region early Sunday. Will continue to keep PoPs low as this
system looks to be relatively weak. The convective setup is not
optimal either since the greatest forcing for ascent from the
trough should be exiting the area before peak heating. Westerly
winds in wake of the trough should help dry the the boundary layer
during the afternoon. However, isolated showers and storms may pop
up during the afternoon in the coastal plain, where the drier air
could arrive later in the day.

The second of these shortwave troughs is forecast to be deeper/
better organized than the former system as it passes through the
area late Monday into early Tuesday. The best chance for precip
with this system (and possibly for the entire long-term period)
appears to be late in the afternoon Monday across our far western
zones in eastern PA with convection focusing along a pre-frontal/
lee trough and elsewhere Monday night when the cold front likely
moves in from the west. There is a plausible scenario where the
chance of showers and storms linger into Tuesday, especially
across our Delmarva zones, if the the cold front is still in our
area while the atmosphere destabilizes during peak heating hours.
PoPs were kept rather low for Tuesday as there quite a bit of
uncertainty in the fropa timing.

The main concern on Monday will actually be the heat. The extreme
heat underneath the ridge will expand northeastward into the
mid- Atlantic states downstream of the approaching cold front.
Highs in the mid 90s, perhaps isolated upper 90s in the warmest
urban spots in the I-95 corridor, are forecast for much of the
area. There is still some uncertainty regarding how much will
humidity be a factor in the heat index. This seems at least partly
dependent on the location and timing of the pre-frontal trough
since westerly flow developing behind the trough axis would tend
to advect drier air across the area. During the hottest part of
the day, dewpoints in the lower 70s ahead of the trough could
yield heat indices in the 100-105F range vs mid to upper 90s heat
indices with dewpoints falling into the mid 60s behind the surface
trough. Typically with lee troughs, the moisture is harder to
scour out in the coastal plain, especially the Delmarva.

Expect a tranquil weather pattern Tuesday night through Thursday
with high pressure in control. Temperatures will be near normal
during the middle of next week.

Another shortwave disturbance tracking atop the strong ridge may
drop southeastward toward the mid-Atlantic region at the end of
the week. PoPs were kept very low due to considerable model
spread regarding the strength and timing of this system. Another
round of excessive heat may arrive by next Friday or Saturday as
the upper pattern becomes favorable for the core of the heat
underneath the ridge to expand eastward.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.

VFR conditions continue across the TAF sites today.

The frontal boundary has stalled out across our area this
morning, and weak low pressure looks to be forming near
southeastern Pennsylvania, northern Delmarva, and southern New
Jersey.

There will continue to chance for isolated showers/thunderstorms
today, but coverage and confidence on when/where they will occur
is low enough to keep out of the TAFs for now.

Winds are light and variable this morning, but should become more
south to southwest through the day.

OUTLOOK...

Sunday... Sct showers moving off the coast in the morning. Isolated
showers and storms may develop east of the I-95 terminals in the
afternoon. Predominately VFR although there is an outside chance
of low clouds early in the morning and locally with heavier
showers or storms. Wind shift from southerly to westerly expected
late in the day.

Monday and Tuesday...Mainly VFR. Chance for showers and storms ahead
of a front Monday afternoon and night. Initially, convective
activity will be favored across our western terminals later
Monday afternoon, then move eastward Monday night. The timing of
the front is still unclear at this point. Tuesday would be dry if
the fropa occurs Monday night. If the front is still in our area
Tuesday, another round of showers and storms are possible during
the day. Southwesterly winds 10-15 kt Monday become northwesterly
either Monday night or Tuesday behind the front.

Wednesday...VFR likely.

&&

.MARINE...
Conds remain quiet on the area waters, with seas 2-3 feet and wind
out of the s to sw genly 15 kts or less. No marine headlines are
anticipated through the near and short term periods.

OUTLOOK...

Sunday through Wednesday...Winds and seas below SCA criteria. Winds
may gust to around 20 knots at times. Thunderstorm coverage Sunday
and Monday night-Tuesday should be mainly isolated. However, a few
of these

RIP CURRENTS...
There is a low risk for the development of dangerous rip currents
today. We are forecasting a south to southwest wind around 5 to
10 mph along with a southerly 2 foot swell with a medium period
of about 6 to 8 seconds.
