Special Weather Statement, NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
648 PM EDT FRI APR 1 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT CROSSING THE MID ATLANTIC STATES THIS EVENING WILL FIND
LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING ON IT TO THE EAST OF NEW JERSEY SATURDAY
MORNING. ANOTHER WEAK COLD FRONT PASSES EAST THROUGH OUR AREA SATURDAY
AFTERNOON FOLLOWED BY A VERY STRONG AND WINDY COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE
SATURDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE BRIEFLY AFFECTS THE AREA LATE SUNDAY.
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE OHIO VALLEY SUNDAY NIGHT MOVES THROUGH NEW
JERSEY MONDAY AFTERNOON AND TO THE EAST OF CAPE COD MONDAY NIGHT.
HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS FOR TUESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY,
BEFORE ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM THE WEST AROUND
THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
SHOWERS AND SCATTERED TSTMS HAVE PRODUCED GUSTY WINDS AND UP TO
DIME SIZE HAIL IN EASTERN PA AND N DE THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING.
THESE WILL SOON DIE OUT JUST EAST OF I95 AFTER 8 PM THIS EVENING.

THE STEERING FLOW ALOFT WILL ACTUALLY BACK MORE OUT OF THE
SOUTHWEST TONIGHT AS A RESULT OF UPSTREAM TROUGH AMPLIFICATION
OCCURRING OVER THE MIDWEST AND PERSISTENT DOWNSTREAM RIDGE
BLOCKING OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. THE RESULTANT PATTERN WILL
CAUSE THE COLD FRONT TO SLOW DOWN AS IT MOVES THRU THE COASTAL
PLAIN THIS EVENING AND OFF THE NJ/DE COAST OVERNIGHT. MEANWHILE,
SYNOPTIC LIFT WILL INCREASE OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST OVERNIGHT
WHEN A MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH APPROACHES FROM THE SOUTHWEST
AND THE REGION BECOMES POSITIONED IN THE RIGHT-ENTRANCE REGION OF
A 175 KT UPPER-LEVEL JET STREAK.

THE ABOVE SETUP WILL LIKELY RESULT IN A NORTHWARD EXPANSION OF
ANAFRONTAL PRECIP TOWARD THE DELMARVA OVERNIGHT. THERE IS STILL
SOME MODEL SPREAD AND FORECAST UNCERTAINTY REGARDING HOW FAR
INLAND THE RAIN GETS TO. THE GFS/ECMWF KEEP THE PRECIP CLOSE TO
THE COAST BEFORE DAYBREAK TOMORROW WHILE MOST OF THE OTHER
GUIDANCE BRINGS IT IN FARTHER WEST. FAVORED THE MORE WESTERN
SCENARIOS GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE DOWNSTREAM BLOCKING OFF THE
COAST AND TREND FOR THIS FRONT TO MOVE SLOWER THAN GUIDANCE HAD
INDICATED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
A WEAK WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP ALONG THE COLD
FRONT THAT IS FORECAST TO BE LOCATED ABOUT 75-100 MILES OFFSHORE
12Z SATURDAY. WE EXPECT A PERIOD OF STEADY RAIN DURING THE MORNING
ALONG THE COASTAL PLAIN. POPS DECREASE FARTHER INLAND AND ARE ONLY
IN CHANCE CATEGORY NORTH AND WEST OF I-95 WHERE THE WESTERN EDGE
OF THE PRECIP SHIELD IS LIKELY TO SETUP NEARBY.

A SHORTWAVE TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST DURING THE
MORNING SHOULD MOVE INTO NORTHEASTERN PA IN THE AFTERNOON. THIS
KICKER SYSTEM WILL AID IN STEERING THE OFFSHORE LOW AND COLD FRONT
FARTHER OUT TO SEA. EXPECT BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER TO DEVELOP
FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE AFTERNOON. FORECAST MAX TEMPS ARE IN
THE MID 50S TO LOWER 60S.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AN ACTIVE PATTERN FOR THE EXTENDED, WITH VERY STRONG WIND
POTENTIAL AND EVEN SNOWFALL POTENTIAL FOR SOME OF THE AREA.

ON SATURDAY NIGHT, AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL OUT OF THE MID
WEST AND INTO OUR AREA, PULLING A STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS THE
AREA. A STRONG SHORT WAVE WILL BE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA AT THE
SAME TIME, SO THERE WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS TO
AFFECT THE AREA. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT TEMPERATURES MAY BE COLD
ENOUGH FOR SOME PRECIPITATION TO FALL AS SNOW ACROSS THE NORTHERN
PARTS OF THE AREA FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME SATURDAY NIGHT. WE
HAVE ONE TO TWO INCHES ACROSS THE FAR NORTHERN AREAS. WITH THE
STRONG WIND POTENTIAL, IF SNOW SHOWERS/SQUALLS DO DEVELOP, IT
COULD CAUSE A PERIOD OF DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS.

THE MAIN CONCERN DURING THE SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY PERIOD
IS THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG WINDS. WINDS COULD GUSTS OF 50 TO 60
MPH ARE EXPECTED LATE SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT AS STRONG
PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BE ACROSS THE AREA ALONG WITH STRONG WINDS
ALOFT THAT ARE EXPECTED TO MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE. WE WILL
MAINTAIN THE HIGH WIND WATCH, AND UPGRADE TO A HIGH WIND WARNING
OR WIND ADVISORY WITH WITH LATER FORECASTS AS NEEDED.

WE HAVE ALSO ISSUED A FREEZE WATCH FOR UPPER MONTGOMERY, CHESTER,
AND CECIL COUNTIES AS THE GROWING SEASON HAS STARTED HERE AND
TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO DROP TO NEAR 30 DEGREES. ADDITIONAL
FREEZE WATCHES MAY BE NEEDED EACH NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT FOR
THOSE AREAS WHERE THE GROWING SEASON HAS STARTED.

THE LOW WILL LIFT AWAY FROM THE AREA LATER SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY
NIGHT, AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT. WINDS
WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH LATE SUNDAY AND INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. A DRYING
OUT PERIOD SHOULD OCCUR SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT, ALTHOUGH SOME
LAKE EFFECT SHOWERS OR FLURRIES CANNOT BE RULED OUT IN THE
NORTHWEST FLOW SUNDAY.

MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE A CLIPPER SYSTEM AFFECTING THE AREA
NEXT MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT. THE QUESTION BECOMES PRECIPITATION
TYPE ACROSS SOME OF THE AREA. PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY BEGIN AS
AS SNOW IF IT STARTS EARLY ENOUGH MONDAY MORNING, THEN BECOME RAIN
FOR MOST AREAS DURING THE DAY. BUT AS THICKNESSES LOWER ACROSS THE
AREA LATER INTO THE EVENING, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL THAT WE COULD
HAVE A PERIOD OF SNOW ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW BEFORE THE
PRECIPITATION ENDS. A LIGHT ACCUMULATION IS POSSIBLE, MAINLY FOR
NORTHERN AREAS.

HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS FOR LATE TUESDAY INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY WHICH
WILL ALLOW FOR DRY WEATHER TO RETURN. HOWEVER, THIS MAY BE SHORT
LIVED AS ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED FRONTAL
BOUNDARY IS FORECAST TO MOVE TOWARD THE AREA THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.
MODELS INITIALLY BRING AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE INTO THE GREAT
LAKES REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY, BRINGING A COLD FRONT
TOWARD OUR AREA. AS THE FRONT APPROACHES, A TRIPLE POINT LOW FORMS
NEAR OUR AREA, WHICH WILL SLOW THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM.
PRECIPITATION CHANCES START LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY, BUT
CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY AS THE TRIPLE POINT LOW
SLOWLY MOVES EASTWARD. IT LOOKS LIKE PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE ALL
RAIN, EXCEPT AT THE VERY BEGINNING IF IT STARTS EARLY ENOUGH, AND
AT THE END IF IT HOLDS ON LONG ENOUGH.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

TONIGHT...VFR CONDITIONS EXCEPT BRIEF IFR IN SCT TSTMS THIS EVENING
WITH A GUSTY WEST WIND 30-35 KT. CHC DIME SIZE HAIL TIL ABOUT 00Z
VCNTY KPHL. TSTMS DIMINISH RAPIDLY AFTER 00Z AND GRADIENT WINDS
SHIFT TO WEST AND NORTHWEST THEN DIMINISH TO LIGHT OVERNIGHT. MID
LVL RAIN DEVELOPS BY MORNING FOR MOST OF THE TAF SITES EXCEPT
POSSIBLY KRDG AND KABE WITH A LIGHT WIND.

SATURDAY...CONDITIONS MAY LOWER TO IFR IN RAIN DURING THE MORNING
BEFORE A GUSTY WEST WIND TO 20 KT DEVELOPS IN THE AFTN AND CONDITIONS
IMPROVE TO VFR.

OUTLOOK...

SATURDAY NIGHT-SUNDAY...GENERALLY VFR EXPECTED. A CHANCE OF SHOWERS
SATURDAY NIGHT WHICH MAY LOWER CONDITIONS. STRONG WEST TO NORTHWEST
WINDS OVERNIGHT SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. WIND GUSTS COULD REACH 40-50
KNOTS LATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY.

SUNDAY NIGHT...GENERALLY VFR. WINDS DIMINISH SUNDAY NIGHT, THEN
INCREASE OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST MONDAY WITH GUSTS 20-30 KNOTS POSSIBLE.

MONDAY-MONDAY NIGHT...VFR EARLY, LOWERING CONDITIONS LATER IN THE
DAY AND INTO THE NIGHT WITH RAIN DEVELOPING. SNOW POSSIBLE LATE AS
PRECIPITATION ENDS. GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS AHEAD OF A FRONT, THEN
NORTHWEST BEHIND THE FRONT. GUSTS AT LEAST 25-30 KNOTS.

TUESDAY-TUESDAY NIGHT...VFR. GUSTY NORTH-NORTHWEST WINDS 25-30 KNOTS.

WEDNESDAY...VFR AND LIGHT WINDS EXPECTED.

&&

.MARINE...
CURRENT SCA IN EFFECT FOR THE WATERS HAS BEEN VERIFYING MOST OF
THE DAY WITH WIND GUSTS IN THE BAY...AND WITH WIND GUSTS AND SEAS
IN THE COASTAL ATLANTIC. THE ONLY CHANGES TO THE SCA WITH THE
AFTERNOON UPDATE WAS TO EXTEND THE SCA FOR THE DE BAY A FEW HOURS
LATER TO COVER THE FIRST HALF OF THE EVENING SINCE THE POTENTIAL
FOR GUSTY SW WINDS WILL LINGER UNTIL A COLD FRONT MOVES THRU
AROUND OR JUST AFTER SUNSET.

THE SCA CONTINUES THRU TONIGHT FOR THE COASTAL ATLANTIC WATERS.
THE WINDS WILL WEAKEN LATER THIS EVENING AND BECOME LIGHT LATE
TONIGHT AS THE FRONT MOVES OFF THE COAST. HOWEVER, IT WILL TAKE
TIME FOR THE SEAS TO SUBSIDE AFTER THE WIND FIELD DOES FIRST.
THERE IS A CHANCE THAT SEAS AT OUR OFFSHORE BUOYS TAKE A BIT
LONGER TO FALL BELOW 5 FT. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE SCA MAY NEED TO BE
EXTENDED INTO SATURDAY MORNING.

OUTLOOK...

SATURDAY NIGHT-SUNDAY...STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT. GALE FORCE
CONDITIONS EXPECTED, WITH STORM FORCE LIKELY OVERNIGHT SATURDAY INTO
SUNDAY, BEHIND A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA LATE
SATURDAY.

SUNDAY NIGHT...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS POSSIBLE EARLY,
DIMINISHING OVERNIGHT.

MONDAY-TUESDAY NIGHT...INCREASING WINDS THROUGH THE DAY MONDAY,
WITH A RETURN TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS LIKELY, POSSIBLY
NEAR GALE FORCE, ESPECIALLY BEHIND A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. A BRIEF
LULL POSSIBLE EARLY MONDAY NIGHT, BEFORE INCREASING AGAIN TO SMALL
CRAFT LEVELS, POSSIBLY GALE OVERNIGHT MONDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT.

WEDNESDAY...CONDITIONS LOWER BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
FOR SUNDAY...VERY WINDY CONDITIONS WITH RELATIVE HUMIDITY LEVELS
DROPPING INTO 25-30 PERCENT RANGE FOR A TIME IN THE AFTERNOON.
THIS COULD LEAD TO FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS, ALTHOUGH THE EXTENT WILL
DEPEND ON HOW MUCH DRYING OF THE FUELS TAKES PLACE LEADING UP TO
SUNDAY.

&&

.CLIMATE...
IF WE GET TIME WE'LL ADD MARCH CLIMAT RANKINGS LATE THIS EVENING.
