Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
702 PM EDT Wed Jun 21 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A weak front will settle across our area into Thursday, then high
pressure builds off the coast of the Carolinas Thursday into Friday.
Low pressure will track well to our north Friday and Saturday, with
an associated cold front moving across our area late Friday. This
front however may slow or stall near the coast Saturday. High
pressure is then forecast to build in Tuesday and Wednesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
630 PM ESTF: busy evening. adjusting on the fly. pls see
warnings, stmts and local storm reports...mainly far s NJ and
the Delmarva from this time forward. It settles down around 8
or 9 PM EDT.

Instability will diminish quickly with sunset, so expect most of the
shower and thunderstorm activity to dissipate through the evening
hours. Model soundings indicate a layer of near saturation in the
mid levels (4000 to 7000 ft) overnight, and with the mid level flow
weakening, expect that if those mid level clouds develop, they will
linger over the region for much of the overnight hours. The
weakening cold front that is expected to drop into our region
overnight will be very diffuse, and is not expected to have much of
an impact aside from resulting in light and variable winds.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
Weakening surface high slides off shore through the day. At the same
time, a mid level short wave ridge axis is expected to propagate
over the region through the day tomorrow. As a result, expect dry
and warm conditions through the day tomorrow. As mentioned
previously, the overnight cold front is not expected to result in
any significant temperature difference, so temperatures are expected
to remain about 5 degrees above normal, with highs ranging from the
upper 70s to lower 90s.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Summary...Building humidity across the region into Saturday and
convective chances with a front and possible tropical moisture
arriving, then some cooling for a time early next week.

Synoptic Overview...A ridge centered near the Southeast Coast will
shift southward as a trough shifts from the Midwest early Friday to
New England by early Saturday. This will send a cold front our way,
however it may potentially slow or stall near our coast through
Saturday. We will have to see how much moisture from the remnants of
current Tropical Storm Cindy gets pulled northward and enhances our
convective chances over the weekend, mainly Saturday. The trough is
forecast to amplify from the Midwest to the Ohio Valley Sunday, then
shift eastward through Tuesday. It then looks like a trough is in
place for the East on Wednesday, with surface high pressure building
in from the west. We used a model/continuity blend for Thursday
night through Friday night, then blended in the 12z WPC Guidance.
Some adjustments were then made following additional collaboration
with our neighboring offices.

For Thursday night...As an upper-level trough or closed low moves
across the Midwest and Upper Great Lakes, downstream warm advection
strengthens. This along with some short wave energy and increase in
the flow aloft should develop some showers and thunder to our west.
Some guidance brings this farther south across our area as the
leading edge of the strong warm air advection moves through. The
main focus may end up being farther north closer to the incoming
trough and increased flow. We will still keep some lower PoPs since
there is some potential for some showers/thunder.

For Friday and Saturday...Our region could be between systems to
start Friday, with one amplifying some across the Great Lakes and
another in the form of a ridge over the Southeast Coast. There is
also the potential for enhanced moisture from the remnants of
current Tropical Storm Cindy as it lifts north and eastward from the
Lower Mississippi Valley. An incoming cold front may help pull some
of the tropical moisture into at least parts of our area. This could
enhance the convection late Friday and especially Saturday. As a
warm sector continues to expand northward Friday, an area of
stronger ascent may clip our northern areas Friday afternoon and
evening. Height falls mainly centered to our north associated with
an approaching mid level trough and pre-frontal trough should assist
in convective development. The strongest part of this at this time
appears to be just to our north, which is where the severe
thunderstorm risk is centered. Another area to watch is convection
in the upper Ohio Valley, which some guidance suggests reaches our
area early Friday with some renewed development later in the day for
the southern half of the area. If cloud cover is less, sufficient
heating/instability combined with strong enough flow could result in
some gusty thunderstorms.

This system continues to amplify some into the Northeast Saturday,
with perhaps some short wave energy occurring out ahead of it. This
along with an incoming cold front (possibly merging with a pre-
frontal trough as it slows) should produce some convection. The
aforementioned short wave energy may be the remnant mid level
feature of once Tropical Storm Cindy. The timing of all of this in
addition to shear and instability parameters will determine how much
convection can be realized Friday night and especially Saturday. The
stronger convective potential for Saturday may shift just to our
south. We will continue with chance PoPs given some uncertainty in
convective coverage. As we get deeper into the warm sector Friday
into Saturday and ahead of a cold front, the humidity will be on the
rise as dew points get into the lower 70s for much of the area.
Temperatures though are not expected to be high enough for excessive
heat indices. The dew points are forecast to lower from north to
south during Saturday in the wake of the front.

For Sunday and Monday...An upper-level trough is forecast to amplify
across the East during this time frame. This may be accompanied by a
secondary cold front at the surface later Sunday, then it shifts
offshore Monday. A few showers/storms may occur Sunday mainly across
the Poconos and also our far southern zones. This isolated activity
may then expand elsewhere Sunday night as the secondary front
arrives, which carries over into Monday (low chance PoPs) as the
trough sharpens a bit. The presence of the upper-level trough and
accompanying cooling aloft will result in cooler surface
temperatures.

For Tuesday and Wednesday...The upper-level trough in place Tuesday
may shift east Wednesday, however surface high pressure is
anticipated to build into much of the East during this time frame.
This should result in a comfortable air mass, although it should be
moderating some Wednesday.

&&

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

tonight...Tstorms and strong northwest wind gusts 32-45kt KACY
KMIV now and then all done for the TAFS. showers etc end by
00z/22. VFR the rest of the night with patchy fog possible late
in the countryside with light wind becoming calm.

Tomorrow...VFR. Winds are expected to shift to southerly. There
is a chance that a sea breeze may develop tomorrow afternoon,
leading to a shift to southeasterly winds at the Coastal Plains
sites (primarily KACY and KMIV).

OUTLOOK...
Thursday night...VFR overall. Southwest winds 5 knots or less.

Friday and Saturday...Local MVFR conditions possible early Friday
due to low clouds and/or fog. Otherwise, possible times of local
MVFR/IFR conditions and some showers and thunderstorms.

Sunday and Monday...VFR overall.

&&

.MARINE...
Special Marine Warnings De and far s NJ waters til about 01z.
Otherwise...Winds and seas are expected to stay below SCA
criteria tonight and tomorrow.

OUTLOOK...
Thursday night...The conditions are expected to be below Small
Craft Advisory criteria.

Friday and Saturday...Small Craft Advisory conditions possible
Friday especially on the ocean zones, then conditions should be
below advisory criteria Saturday. Some showers and thunderstorms
should be around at times.

Sunday and Monday...The conditions are anticipated to be below Small
Craft Advisory criteria.

RIP CURRENTS...
A moderate risk for the formation of dangerous rip currents
continues through this evening due to an underlying southeasterly
swell with a long period (approximately 15 seconds). This swell
is expected to continue through tomorrow morning, so the
moderate risk for the formation of dangerous rip currents may
continue through mid day tomorrow.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Very high astronomical tides are expected in association with the
new moon on Friday. That, combined with increasing southerly flow
tomorrow could result in minor coastal flooding with the Thursday
afternoon and evening high tide primarily for the Atlantic coastal
areas and the shores of the Delaware Bay. Minor coastal flooding may
continue with the Friday afternoon and evening high tide.

&&
