Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
454 PM EDT Sat Jul 1 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure south of Hudson Bay will track east tonight
through Sunday and will drag a cold front through the region
late tonight. Several weak disturbances will pass through the
Northeast and Mid-Atlantic Monday and Tuesday. High pressure
moves offshore on Wednesday, and then several waves of low
pressure will impact the area late in the new week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been expanded to cover the
entire Mount Holly CWA until 9 pm.

A line of showers and thunderstorms is steadily moving through
the western parts of our CWA attm. A surface trough has reestablished
itself to our west ahead of an approaching cold front and will
continue to move eastward through the afternoon and into this
evening. Instability has built east of this trough while a short
wave/vorticity impulse aloft is approaching from the west as
well. This has lead to the building and strengthening line of
showers and thunderstorms. Conditions should maintain as the
line crosses the rest of the region this evening.

As the short wave/vorticity impulse slides to the east this
evening and instability wanes, the shower and thunderstorm
activity will diminish into the evening as well. It is possible
the storms may die out before reaching the coast. Then a cold
front is expected to move across the area during the overnight
hours and into early Sunday morning. This will allow for dew
points to lower some by daybreak. Overnight lows are not
expected to drop significantly however. There may even be some
patchy fog overnight tonight, however, we are not expecting any
widespread dense fog at this time.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
The cold front moves offshore by early Sunday morning, and
winds become northwesterly or westerly during the day. A mostly
dry forecast is expected as PW values drop below 1 inch, and no
strong short wave/vorticity impulses are expected. Little if any
wind gusts are expected, with winds around 5-10 mph through the
day. Temperatures will be several degrees warmer on Sunday,
however dewpoints will be much lower, so heat index values will
be below advisory levels.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Cold front that passed through the region tonight through
Sunday morning will hang over the Mid-Atlantic, just south of
the MD/DE, Sunday night before drifting farther south towards
the Carolinas on Monday. Meanwhile, surface high pressure builds
in from the north and west as a sharpening upper trough digs
into the Northeast. Several weak upper level shortwaves will
dive into the base of the trough as it passes through the
Northeast.

With the influence of the surface high building into the Great
Lakes and Ohio Valley from Sunday night through Tuesday night,
conditions should remain stable enough to keep widespread
showers and thunderstorms from developing. In addition, surface
dewpoints will be relatively low during this time, as a drying
west wind should mix down enough dry air on Monday for dewpoints
in the upper 50s to low 60s. Dewpoints may then be a few
degrees higher on Tuesday (Independence Day) as winds will be
light enough for afternoon sea breeze development, and the
onshore flow ushers in moisture off the Atlantic. Either way, it
all depends on where each shortwave tracks, and do not have
much more than slight chance-low chance PoPs during this time.
For the afternoon of Independence Day, will keep slight chance
PoPs confined to the southern half of the CWA, as there may be a
bit more interaction with an approaching shortwave and the old
frontal boundary stalled to the south.

Highs on Monday will be in the upper 80s to around 90, and then
may be a couple of degrees cooler on Tuesday with the onshore
flow.

The center of the high passes north of the region, into
northern NY state, Wednesday morning, and then moves offshore
Wednesday night. Meanwhile, another upper trough/500 MB low digs
into the Midwest, and surface low pressure develops out ahead
of it. The stationary boundary across the Mid-Atlantic states
will begin to lift back north as a warm front, and mainly
afternoon convection will fire up out ahead of that approaching
warm front.

Warm front continues to approach Wednesday night and should
lift north through most of the region Thursday. This brings back
an increase to the humidity across the region, as surface
dewpoints rise back up through the 60s and low 70s. This sets
the stage for potentially heavy rain Thursday afternoon as low
pressure continues to approach from the west, and passes mainly
to the north Thursday night. Likely PoPs look good for mainly
northern and western zones Thursday afternoon, and then high
chance PoPs on tap for Thursday night.

For Friday and Saturday, weak areas of low pressure approach
from the west, possibly touching off scattered showers and
thunderstorms. Will generally carry slight chance-chance PoPs
for now given uncertainty.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.

VFR CIGS are now in place this afternoon. However, a line of
showers and thunderstorms will move across the area this
afternoon and evening which will lead to a brief period of
reduced conditions. VSBYS may drop to 1-2SM and winds could gust
30-40 knots with the strongest thunderstorms. Once the showers
and thunderstorms move past the area and weaken, VFR conditions
should remain for the beginning of the overnight hours. Some
patchy light fog may develop later in the night into Sunday
morning, as VSBYS could drop to 4-5SM.

Sunday will be VFR with some scattered clouds during the
afternoon around 5,000-6,000 feet.

Winds should generally be 5-10 knots out of the south-southwest
today, before becoming westerly overnight, northwesterly by
early Sunday morning, then southwesterly again during the day.
Some gusts around 15-20 knots may occur this afternoon into the
evening for some areas. No gusts are expected on Sunday.

&&

.MARINE...
The severe thunderstorm watch has been expanded to cover the
coastal waters and Delaware Bay until 9 p.m.

The Small Craft advisory for southern Delaware Bay has been
extended until 11 p.m. Winds are beginning to increase on all of
the waters.

There is a chance of showers and thunderstorms later this
afternoon/early evening which may create locally higher winds
and waves.

OUTLOOK...

Sunday night through Monday night...Winds and seas below SCA
criteria. W-SW winds 10-15 KT. Occasional gusts to 20 KT Monday
afternoon. Isolated showers and thunderstorms possible.

Tuesday through Tuesday night...Sub-SCA conditions. Winds shift
to a NE flow 5-10 KT. Isolated showers and thunderstorms
possible at southern NJ and DE ocean waters, and DE Bay.

Wednesday...Sub-SCA conditions. E winds around 10 KT. Scattered
showers and thunderstorms possible.

Thursday...Sub-SCA conditions. S winds 10-20 KT. Scattered
showers and thunderstorms.

.RIP CURRENTS...

There continues to be a moderate risk for the development of
dangerous rip currents for this afternoon and evening along the
New Jersey shore with seas 3-4 on the ocean with around a 5
second southerly period and southerly winds around 15-20 knots.
The risk for Delaware is low.

Conditions for Sunday look to be lower than today with seas
lowering to 2-3 feet, and winds weakening and becoming more
offshore.

Based on the latest forecasted conditions, there should be a
low risk for the development of dangerous rip currents on Monday
and Tuesday.

Remember! Low risk does not mean no risk! So for safety, swim
only where the lifeguards can see you, and be aware for changing
conditions.
