Special Weather Statement, NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
641 PM EDT MON AUG 15 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure entrenched offshore will result in continued hot
and humid weather across our region for the next few days. A low
will pass across New York State late Tuesday, dragging a cold
front down into mid Atlantic states by Wednesday. The front may
stall over the Delmarva Thursday. High pressure should build in
briefly for the end of the work week, before another cold front
approaches our region late next weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
For the 630 PM update, lowered pops for awhile as radar trends
continue to show convection to the west and southwest. A
mesoanalysis shows quite a bit of instability across the southern
half of the forecast area with a tight gradient to the north. The
ongoing convection appears to be mostly driven by this strong
instability as it rolled off the terrain. It may tend to weaken as
it tracks east-northeast this evening especially on the northern
end. Some of the high-resolution guidance such as the HRRR wants to
bring this into the Philadelphia metro by about 02z. We will
continue to monitor the radar trends with this convection.
Otherwise, just some hourly temperature, dew point and wind
adjustments to account for current conditions and trends. A sea
breeze continues to track inland across central and southern New
Jersey.

Otherwise, a weak front remains stalled across the area however it
is forecast to slowly lift northward as a warm front tonight into
Tuesday morning. There is an uptick in low-level warm air advection
later tonight along with a weak low-level jet. This could be enough
to trigger some convection very late tonight across the central and
northern areas.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
The warm front and initial short wave/vorticity impulse will be
lifting north of the area during the morning hours. Then during the
day, a surface trough is expected to develop just to our west. With
additional short wave/vorticity impulses expected to slide across
the area during the day, showers and thunderstorms could continue to
develop and affect the area. There will be a fair amount of
instability and there is plenty of moisture, so any storms could
produce gusty winds and heavy rain, especially across the northern
half of the area where the shear and wind field will be stronger
closer to the lifting frontal boundary.

Another concern for Tuesday will be the heat and humidity. Another
day of hot and humid conditions is expected to lead to high heat
index values for most of the forecast area. We continue the
Excessive Heat Warning where it was in place, and we've issued a
Heat Advisory for the remainder of the area with the exception of
Carbon and Monroe in Pennsylvania, and Morris, Susses, and Warren in
New Jersey.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
500 mb: The +2 standard deviation western Atlantic ridge that has
dominated our area will weaken Thursday and Friday but ridging
will redevelop over the northeast United States next weekend.

Temperatures:  the first two weeks of August have averaged 2 to
nearly 5 degrees above normal. It will be very difficult to cool
enough at the tail end of the month to reduce the monthly positive
departure to less than 2 degrees. Please see climate section.
Calendar day averages Wednesday should be 7 to 10 degrees above
normal then 4 to 8 degrees above normal Thursday-Sunday, possibly
cooling to near normal next Monday?

The dailies...

Tuesday night...There should be plenty of bulk shear and leftover
MLcape-instability in the gusty southwest flow ahead of the cold
front to develop a pretty extensive band of strong thunderstorms
along and west of I95 between 8PM and midnight, a few severe and
possibly a couple producing flash floods as the band moves fairly
rapidly eastward across the area (e or ene 25-30 kt). The convection
may diminish as it approaches the coast. PWATS will be near 2
inches. Spotters should be alert for possible activation late
Tuesday. A weak wet bulb cooling boundary in eastern PA will be
the trigger. I hedged pops a little lower than would like for
this situation since mid level capping (700mb +10C)  may develop
during the aftn/evening vicinity of I-95 eastward, which would
greatly reduce the chance of tstms progressing east of I-95.
Confidence: only average because some of the guidance is dry after
00z/Wed.

Wednesday...Slight relief, especially PA and n 2/3rds NJ at least
with humidity if not as much with the temperatures, as the low
lifts further northeast. The shift to northwesterly flow will be
the main driver for lower dew points and consequently lower
humidity. Could see a renewed thunderstorm threat for the Delmarva
late in the day or more likely Wednesday evening where the cool
front frontolyzes but still has some convergent lift potential.
PHL D8 heat wave? In my opinion yes because 850mb still 17-19C,
but have maintained continuity, in part because MOS values are
cooler but am concerned this fcst is 2-3F too low across the
board. Confidence: below average because temps may run warmer
than forecast.

Thursday...chance of a shower or Thunderstorm? otherwise partly
cloudy. Weak cool front? Confidence: below average.

Friday and Saturday...Fair and probably nice,  though with still a
small chance of a thunderstorm Delmarva where there will still be
500-1000J MLC.

Sunday...an approaching cold front with southerly flow should permit
the eventual arrival of showers and thunderstorms though timing
uncertain. 12z cycle seems a bit more progressive. POPS will
probably eventually need to be raised to categorical for one of
these periods, either Sunday or Sunday night. Rainfall could equal
or exceed 1 inch in a few spots.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.

Tonight...VFR overall. Some showers and thunderstorms are possible
by later this evening especially from PHL on west and southward.
Some additional showers and thunder may then occur late tonight and
early Tuesday morning. The timing and coverage is of less confidence
at this time. Some MVFR conditions could develop late tonight mainly
at ABE and RDG, however lower conditions will occur if showers or
storms impact a terminal. Northwesterly winds 4-8 knots, except
southeast near and to the east and south of PHL due to a westward
moving sea breeze, then becoming mostly light and variable.

Tuesday...VFR overall. Some showers and thunderstorms may occur
early in the morning from about PHL on northward, otherwise showers
and thunderstorms are expected in the afternoon. The greatest area
looks to be north and west of PHL. The coverage may be scattered,
however some organization into clusters or lines may occur during
the afternoon. Southwesterly winds increase to around 10 knots with
some gusts up to 20 knots.

Outlook...
Tuesday night...VFR except MVFR and even IFR conditions possible
in scattered thunderstorms along with gusty west winds 35 to 45
kt. Otherwise, southwest gradient winds may gust 20 kt.

Wednesday...VFR conditions expected, though MVFR conditions will be
possible with any of the isolated to scattered thunderstorms,
primarily vicinity KILG and KMIV late in the day. Westerly wind
gust 15-20 kt.

Thursday...VFR. small chance of a shower or a thunderstorm.
Westerly wind.

Friday and Saturday...VFR. Light winds.

&&

.MARINE...
Sub-Small Craft Advisory conditions are expected overnight tonight
and into the first half of Tuesday. Winds are expected to be mostly
south tonight. Winds are expected to increase during the day once
the warm front lifts northward through the area. The area with the
greatest threat for winds to increase to 25 knots or greater is
expected to be the northern half of the coastal waters adjacent to
Ocean and Monmouth counties. So we've issued a Small Craft Advisory
for the coastal waters off of those areas.

Outlook...
Tuesday night..Marine hazard just for the NNJ waters at this time.
transfer of hot wind over cooler water will be difficult but a few
25 kt gusts possible along the coasts of Ocean and Monmouth
counties. Have lowered WW3 guidance by 20 percent in the typical
waa guidance high bias tendency. Further south...gusts 20-22 kt.

There is a chance that there will be a decaying squall line transiting
the waters sometime between 9 PM-1 AM with scattered thunderstorm
gusts of 35 to 40 kt.

Wednesday...westerly gusts 15 kt during the day with seas
subsiding.

Thursday through Saturday...winds and seas should remain below SCA
criteria.

RIP CURRENTS...
The outlook for the formation of dangerous rip currents on Tuesday
is generally low (enhanced). If southerly winds or seas increase
faster than anticipated...the risk would rise to moderate.

Outlook: Low risk probable Wednesday-Thursday, the approaching
FULL Moon not withstanding (faster tidal exchanges). There could
be some enhancement depending on the strength of the onshore wind
each afternoon.

Water temperatures: Pockets of low to mid 60s water temperatures
were observed today near Atlantic City and also the northern Ocean
County NJ seashore northward through Monmouth County NJ seashore as
per the 1100z RCOOL SST satellite image analysis. Water temperatures
were generally much above normal off the DE coast.

Our rip current statistics for NJ and DE show the preponderance of
rip current related fatalities occuring late in the day, after the
beach patrols go home.

The message to beach goers: To ensure safety of your family and
friends, swim only in the designated swimming areas and when the
beach patrols are on duty.

Otherwise trouble in the water can quickly turn fatal if a skilled
rescuer is not visibly nearby.

.CLIMATE...
Here are the daily record highs for August 16, and the year they were
reached (* indicates the record was reached on more than one year;
the most recent is listed):

As of 4PM today...only Georgetown is forecast within 2F of record.

A record high of 96 did occur at Georgetown this Monday
afternoon. The previous record was 95 in 1985.

      Aug 16

ACY...96-1997

PHL...98-1997

ILG...98-1895

ABE...95-1944*

TTN...95-2002*

GED...97-1954

RDG...97-1997

MPO...88-1865

This lists the number of days we have reached at least 90 degrees
(through August 15) and the mean number of 90 degree days for each
climate site (computed from when the period of record began). We
are above normal for 90 degree days at all climate sites.

Site 90 deg days beginning of climate record
        2016  mean   POR    consecutive 90 August 2016 heat wave

ABE     27    17     1922   5

ACY     24    10     1874   6

GED     28    27     1998   6

PHL     31    21     1873   6

RDG     29    21     1999   6

TTN     26    20     1998   6

ILG     26    20     1894   6

Finally,  for Philadelphia we have taken the highs/lows through the
14th, used our SFTCTP max/mins through the 21st, then
supplemented with the GFS FTPRHA for 22nd-25th and thereafter
added the daily normal high/low for Philadelphia (Aug26-31) and
the projection is that we should average 78.8, over 2 degrees
above the monthly norm of 76.6. This will not be spot on but for
those who are interested, this gives an idea of where we are
headed for a monthly norm regarding temperature.
