Special Weather Statement, NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
952 AM EDT THU APR 7 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO NEW ENGLAND TODAY AND
TONIGHT. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE DAY
TODAY. A WEAK CLIPPER LOW WILL PASS CLOSE TO THE AREA LATE FRIDAY,
BEFORE STRENGTHENING OFF THE COAST SATURDAY AND MOVING INTO
EASTERN CANADA SUNDAY. MEANWHILE, HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD TO OUR
WEST SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT, THEN TO OUR SOUTH SUNDAY. THIS
HIGH WILL BUILD OFFSHORE MONDAY AHEAD OF THE NEXT FRONTAL BOUNDARY
EXPECTED LATE TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
LINE OF SHOWERS IS JUST BEGINNING TO MOVE INTO WESTERN PORTIONS OF
OUR REGION. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO PROGRESS FURTHER NORTHEAST INTO
OUR REGION. ADJUSTED POPS AND WEATHER SLIGHTLY TO ACCOUNT FOR
LATEST RADAR TRENDS. OTHERWISE, NO MAJOR CHANGES TO THE FORECAST.
STRONGER WINDS HAVE YET TO DEVELOP, BUT THINK THERE IS STILL A
WINDOW COMING WHERE THE STRONGER WINDS COULD MIX DOWN. THUS, WILL
KEEP THE WIND ADVISORY GOING FOR NOW.

PREVIOUS NEAR TERM DISCUSSION...DEEP LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE
ACROSS SOUTHERN ONTARIO TODAY AND CAUSE ITS ATTACHED FRONTS TO
CROSS OUR AREA. A GOOD SOUTHERLY FETCH AND GOOD PRESSURE GRADIENT
WILL RESULT IN MODERATELY STRONG WINDS TODAY. LOW LEVEL WINDS
AROUND 50-55 KTS POINT TO WIND ADVY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE DELMARVA
AND UP ACROSS THE NJ COASTAL PLAIN, WE HAVE ISSUED A FLAG
THEREFORE EXPECTING FREQUENT GUSTS THIS MORNING AND EARLY
AFTERNOON. A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA LATE MORNING/WEST AND
EARLY AFTERNOON/EAST. THIS WILL CAUSE FREQ SHOWERS AND A CHC FOR A
FEW GUSTY TSTMS. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST AND DIMINISH BEHIND
THE FRONT. TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB INTO THE 60S ACROSS THE
DELMARVA AND SRN/CENTRAL NJ TODAY AND INTO THE MID/UPPER 50S OVER
NJN NJ AND NE PA. QPF WILL MOSTLY RANGE FROM 3/4 INCH UP TO AN
INCH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/...
IMPROVING CONDITIONS TONIGHT AS THE LOW MOVES DOWN THE ST.
LAWRENCE VALLEY AND HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO MOVE TOWARDS THE AREA.
SOME SHOWERS AND EXTRA CLOUDS POSSIBLE THIS EVENING...ESPECIALLY
OVER THE NRN/WRN AREAS BEFORE THE COOLER/DRIER DEEPENS ACROSS THE
REGION. WINDS WILL BE MOSTLY WRLY AT 10 TO 15 MPH OVERNIGHT. LOW
TEMPERATURES WILL DROP INTO THE LOW/MID 30S OVER THE FAR NORTH
UPPER 30S TO LOW 40S SOUTH/EAST. WE HAVE KEPT THE VERY SMALL CHC
FOR SNOW SHOWERS LATE TONIGHT ACROSS THE SRN POCONOS AND NW NJ. NO
ACCUMS EXPECTED.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
ON FRIDAY, LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO SLOWLY DRIFT NORTHWARD INTO
EASTERN CANADA, BUT A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH MAY TRAVERSE OUR AREA
DURING THE DAY. MEANWHILE, A COUPLE OF SHORT WAVE/VORTICITY
IMPULSES MAY MOVE ACROSS THE AREA AS WELL. THIS COULD LEAD TO SOME
ISOLATED SHOWERS ACROSS THE AREA, WITH THE BEST CHANCES ACROSS THE
NORTH. TEMPERATURES MAY CONTINUE TO BE COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW DURING
THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY BEFORE WARMING UP DURING THE DAY.

DURING FRIDAY NIGHT, A WEAK CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE AREA
FROM THE WEST. THE AREA SHOULD REMAIN PRECIPITATION FREE THROUGH
MOST OF THE NIGHT. HOWEVER, AS THE LOW BEGINS TO APPROACH
OVERNIGHT, SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION MAY DEVELOP AND SPREAD ACROSS
OUR SOUTHERN AREAS. TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY BE COLD ENOUGH FOR
THE PRECIPITATION TO START OUT AS SNOW OR RAIN/SNOW MIX POSSIBLE.
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO FALL BELOW FREEZING FOR SOME AREAS
FRIDAY NIGHT, WHICH COULD LEAD TO FREEZE WATCHES/WARNINGS IN THE
FUTURE.

SATURDAY, THE LOW WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA AND STRENGTHEN OFF
THE COAST. MEANWHILE, THE MID/UPPER LOW AND ASSOCIATED VORTICITY
WILL DRIFT ACROSS THE NORTHEAST AS WELL. THIS IS EXPECTED TO LEAD
TO A PERIOD OF PRECIPITATION DURING THE DAY SATURDAY. THICKNESSES
ARE QUITE LOW AND WOULD SUPPORT SNOW. THE MOS TEMPERATURES ARE
QUITE WARM, WHILE THE 2M GRIDDED TEMPERATURES ARE A BIT LOWER THAN
MOS. WITH CLOUD COVER AND PRECIPITATION POSSIBLE, WE WOULD EXPECT
TEMPERATURES TO BE ON THE LOWER SIDE, SO WE'VE TAKEN MORE OF A
BLEND OF THE 2M TEMPS. WE EXPECT THE PRECIPITATION TO START OUT AS
SNOW OR RAIN/SNOW MIX, THEN AS TEMPERATURES WARM SLIGHTLY DURING
THE DAY, THE RAIN/SNOW LINE MAY PUSH NORTHWARD. AREAS ACROSS THE
FAR NORTH MAY NOT ACTUALLY CHANGE OVER. WE COULD HAVE SOME
ACCUMULATING SNOW, WITH THE BEST POTENTIAL ACROSS THE NORTHERN
HALF OF THE AREA. GENERALLY WE EXPECT AROUND AN INCH OR LESS,
MAINLY ON GRASSY SURFACES. HIGHER ELEVATIONS ACROSS THE FAR NORTH
MAY SEE 1-2 WHERE THEY HAVE THE BEST POTENTIAL TO STAY ALL SNOW.
THE PRECIPITATION WILL TAPER OFF DURING THE EVENING AS THE LOW
PULLS AWAY FROM THE AREA.

A DRY PERIOD SHOULD FOLLOW FOR SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE FROM THE WEST WILL BUILD TO OUR SOUTH DURING THE DAY
SUNDAY. IT WOULDN'T BE SURPRISING TO SEE SOME FLURRIES ACROSS THE
FAR NORTHERN AREAS WITH THE NORTHWEST FLOW. TEMPERATURES ARE AGAIN
EXPECTED TO FALL BELOW FREEZING FOR SOME AREAS SATURDAY NIGHT,
WHICH COULD LEAD TO FREEZE WATCHES/WARNINGS IN THE FUTURE.

THE HIGH BUILDS OFFSHORE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. AN AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE WILL BE MOVING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER OF SOUTHERN
CANADA. AS IT DOES SO, A WARM FRONT MAY LIFT ACROSS THE AREA
OVERNIGHT SUNDAY INTO THE EARLY PART OF THE DAY MONDAY, WHICH MAY
LEAD TO SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS THE AREA LATER SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
MONDAY.

THE COLD FRONT IS NOT EXPECTED UNTIL TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT.
THE GFS AND ECMWF DIFFER WITH THE TIMING OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY,
BUT GENERALLY AGREE WITH A TUESDAY TIMING OF THE FRONT AND
GREATEST PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD TO OUR WEST WEDNESDAY, WHICH SHOULD HAVE
ENOUGH OF AN EFFECT ON OUR AREA TO BRING DRY WEATHER.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

CONDITIONS WILL BE DETERIORATING ACROSS THE DELAWARE VALLEY AND
SURROUNDING AREAS THIS MORNING AS LOW PRESSURE AND ASSOCIATED
FRONTS APPROACH FROM THE WEST. TIMING FROM EARLIER TAFS STILL
LOOKS GOOD WITH MVFR THEN IFR OVER MOST AREAS DURING THE BUSY
MORNING PUSH. SHOWERS AND GUSTY WINDS IN THE TAFS WITH LLWS IN
MOST AREAS. A FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON WITH
IMPROVING CONDITIONS A FEW HOURS AFTER. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO WRLY
AND GUST 20-25 KTS FOR AWHILE BEFORE DECREASING AFTER SUNSET.
TONIGHT, VFR WITH IMPROVING SKY CONDITIONS AND WRLY WINDS 5 TO 10
KTS.

TSTMS EXPECTED TODAY AS A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA. WIND
