What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this small craft advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly wrote its last area forecast discussion before this small craft advisory went out at Dec 26, 6:51 PM EST, 2 hours 35 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 26, 6:51 PM EST, 2 hours 35 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
651 PM EST Tue Dec 26 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Arctic high pressure builds into the region this week, resulting in
a prolonged period of very cold weather. A trough is expected to
sweep over the region at the end of the week. At the same time, low
pressure may develop off the Southeast coast and lift northeast.
High pressure should build back over the region Sunday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
A strong arctic high centered over the Northern Plains extends
southeastward to Virginia and North Carolina early this evening.
This will continue to funnel in cold air into our region. As we go
through the overnight, an upper level trough amplifies some from the
Great Lakes towards the Northeast. There is elongated short wave
energy within the base of this trough. In addition, a 140-150 knot
250 mb jet slides east from the Tennessee Valley. Our southern zones
become situated within the left exit region of this jet especially
toward morning. Some lift is within this region, however it does not
look to be much as the jet quickly is shifting eastward. The depth
of dry air below cloud base may keep much precipitation aloft from
reaching the ground, therefore will keep a mention of flurries in
the forecast toward morning for parts of the southern areas
(although did shift this northward some).

Otherwise, winds diminish and expect increasing mid and high
cloudiness overnight with the arrival of the aforementioned
disturbance and upper-level jet. The hourly temperature, dew point
and wind grids were adjusted based on the latest observations, then
the LAMP guidance was blended in for the next few hours. The temperatures
could drop quickly this evening as winds go light given the very low
dew points.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
For Wednesday, shortwave energy rounding upper level trough
over the east will help initiate a weak surface low off the
coast. This will bring considerable cloud cover to much of the
area into the morning with some flurries possible over southern
Delaware through Sussex County to extreme southern New Jersey
around Cape May. Otherwise, dry weather persists with clearing
skies by afternoon as the system pushes out to sea. Highs range
from the teens over the southern Poconos to the 20s to around 30
elsewhere.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
The two main stories through the long term period remain the bitter
cold expected through out the long term period and the potential for
snow.

Cold: What we have the most confidence on this period is the arctic
cold. An arctic air mass will continue to settle south over our
region through the long term period. 500 mb height departures are
expected well below average. With the exception of Saturday, Highs
through this period are expected to be in the teens and 20s, with
lows likely in the single digits and teens. On Saturday, depending
on how close the center of the coastal low gets to our region, some
areas, especially coastal southern NJ and portions of Delmarva could
get close or even a few degrees above freezing if the low tracks
close to the coast.

Snow: There remains a lot of uncertainty with the forecast for snow.
The primary source of uncertainty is in how quickly the coastal low
will develop and what kind of a track it will take once/if it
develops. With the coastal low, the GFS depicts the development
faster but weaker. As a result, the depicted track is further off
shore. In addition to the coastal low, a progressive mid and upper
level open wave trough will dig southeast from south central Canada
into the Great Lakes region. Overall models are in relatively good
agreement on this feature, with some minor differences in the
details.  The ECMWF and CMC depicted the coastal low developing
slower and deeper, eventually interacting with the open wave trough.
These solutions would result in more snow primarily on Saturday.

Given the uncertainty, stayed close to the previous forecast, with
the highest chances (30 to 40 %) on Saturday, keeping slight chance
as early as Friday.

The GFS depicts another coastal low developing on Monday, but given
that it appears to be the outlier with the first system, have kept
this period dry for now.

&&

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

Tonight...VFR with an increase in clouds at or above 5,000 feet.
Westerly winds 5-10 knots becoming light and variable at most
temperatures, then becoming northwest late.

Wednesday...VFR ceilings mainly at or above 5,000 feet should thin
out in the afternoon. Northwesterly winds 10-15 knots, with local
afternoon gusts up to 20 knots possible.

Outlook...
Wednesday night through Friday: Mostly VFR conditions expected.
High confidence.

Saturday: Snow is possible through this period. If snow develops,
IFR or lower conditions are possible. Below average confidence.

Sunday: Mostly VFR conditions expected. Average confidence.

&&

.MARINE...
Small Craft Advisory remains in effect north of Great Egg Inlet
until late tonight. After this time there will be a lull in winds
before winds ramp up once again Wednesday afternoon...possibly to
SCA levels by late day. Seas remain around 1 to 3 ft. Also, some
flurries will be possible over the waters Wednesday.

Outlook...
Wednesday night and Thursday: Winds gusting above 25 kt and
freezing spray are possible. Moderate confidence.

Thursday night through Sunday: Conditions below small craft advisory
are expected. Freezing spray possible. Below average confidence.
