Special Weather Statement, NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
333 PM EDT FRI JUL 8 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front, currently over the Great Lakes will slide through our
region late Saturday. After that, high pressure builds over our
region early next week. By mid week, the high shifts offshore as
another hot and humid air mass moves into our region for the
remainder of the work week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
Convection will move offshore late this evening. In the meantime,
the main threat will continue to be heavy rainfall and locally
gusty winds. The Excessive Heat Warning for the Wilmington-Philadelphia-
Trenton urban corridor will be allowed to expire at 6 PM. Some
additional showers and thundershowers are possibly overnight,
mainly far southern NJ and Delmarva, as another shortwave moves
across this region. Otherwise, some patchy fog is possible,
particularly where rainfall occurred.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
Additional showers and thunderstorms are likely Saturday
afternoon, with the area under a marginal risk. The main concern
continues to be gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall.
Temperatures will be slightly cooler compared to Friday, with
continued high humidity. Heat indices are expected to be generally
in the low to mid 90s, low enough to preclude the need for an heat
advisory or excessive heat warning.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Once the cold front clears the region Saturday night, we'll be in
for a welcome, albeit temporary pattern change until mid week when
heat, humidity and thunderstorm chances return.

Sunday through Tuesday...in the wake of the cold front, a cooler and
drier air mass will move over our region through this period. The
surface high building over the region will keep conditions mostly
dry through this period. A slight warming trend is possible on
Tuesday as 1000 to 500 mb thicknesses increase in response to the
approaching upper level ridge.

Wednesday through Friday...Surface high should slide offshore by
late in the day on Tuesday. On Wednesday or Wednesday night, a weak
warm front should slide through the region from West to East,
bringing a hot and humid air mass back to our region. As with the
last few days, this could bring isolated to scattered thunderstorms
each afternoon. However, in general there are no major features to
suggest a widespread precip event through this time, unless the next
cold front arrives earlier than anticipated (now forecast to arrive
Friday night).

&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
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. Otherwise, VFR conditions are anticipated.

&&

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

Outlook...

Saturday through Wednesday...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.

&&

PA...Excessive Heat Warning until 6 PM EDT this evening for PAZ070-
     071-102-104-106.
