Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
426 PM EDT Thu Jul 13 2017
.SYNOPSIS...
A cold frontal boundary will move southeast into the region tonight
and then slowly move southeast through Friday night. High pressure
will then build eastward into the region for the weekend behind the
front before the approach of another cold front from the northwest
early next week. Yet another area of high pressure will build
eastward into the region by the middle of next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
Severe Thunderstorm Watch #413 was just issued. In addition to
the Watch #412, a Severe Thunderstorm Watch covers eastern PA
and most of NJ (excluding far southern NJ). Both watches are in
effect through 9 PM.
There appears to be enough lift on the southern periphery of
the MCV that is moving over central NY to initiate convection
just west of our CWA in central PA. This thunderstorm complex
could certainly strengthen as it moves downstream into an
increasingly unstable airmass. Modified 16Z RAOB soundings from
KIAD and KOKX and a recent (18Z) ACARS soundings indicate a
moderate amount of instability (MLCAPE values around 1500 J/KG
over NE PA, increasing to near 2500 J/KG south and east of I-95)
is available to fuel strong convective updrafts for this event.
This environment will be conducive for damaging wet microbursts
with a delta theta-e of 25-30 C in the lowest 15 kft AGL. The
risk for severe storms will decrease around sunset.
There may be a need for the Severe Thunderstorm Watch to be
expanded even farther south into NE MD, N DE and far S NJ but
there is question how much lift will be available for additional
thunderstorm development south of the Mason-Dixon line given
how far north the MCS is tracking.
In addition to the wind threat, these storms will be efficient
rainfall producers with PWATs over 2 inches and a deep warm
cloud layer. In general, these movement of these storms should
be fast enough to limit the overall flash flood threat but there
is a concern for heavy rainfall, poor drainage flooding and
possible even localized flash flooding near the I-78 corridor,
where the recent trends in radar show a greater potential for
multiple rounds of storms over the same area through mid evening.
Heat headlines were left untouched for now and remain in effect
through 8 PM. We will likely be able to cancel them earlier from
NW to SE after the storms come through. At 3 PM, the heat index
was over 100F from Philadelphia, south and east.
After the main shot of showers and thunderstorms pushes through
our region early tonight, there could be a brief break in the
action before the next MCS/shortwave disturbance moves in. The
chance for showers increase once again overnight into early
Friday morning. Even though the thunderstorm potential should
wane overnight, some of the stronger showers could contain
locally heavy downpours.
SWly winds will shift out of the NE late tonight as the cold
front surges southward. Low clouds and patchy fog could develop
in wake of the fropa, particularly across NE PA and N NJ.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
A wave of low pressure currently over the Upper Midwest is
expected to track eastward into western NY on Friday. Slightly
backed flow out of W-SW ahead of the low will allow keep the
frontal boundary in our area. Accordingly, this unsettled
weather pattern will continue into tomorrow.
Cloud cover should limit the extent of destabilization but
there looks to be enough lift present to fuel numerous showers
and embedded thunderstorms during peak heating. The severe
thunderstorm threat (mainly damaging winds) looks to shift
farther south from about the Mason-Dixon line, southward. There
is also a concern for locally heavy rainfall tomorrow,
especially near the stalled front where there is a potential to
see focused lift and training of cells. Future shifts may need
to issue a Flash Flood Watch as it becomes clearer exactly where
the axis of heaviest rain would fall as well as where the
antecedent conditions would be most conducive for flooding
based on rainfall from this afternoon/evening's round.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Overall a fairly steady state pattern in terms of predictability that
is typical of mid-summer conditions. Generally hot and humid with a
few thunderstorm chances, main concern is Friday night.
Friday night: A cold front will continue to serve as a focal
mechanism for a higher coverage of showers and thunderstorms as it
shifts into delmarva and southern New Jersey. The instability in
place during the evening will depend on convection in the short term
period. However, PW values ahead of the front will still be near 2
inches continuing a heavy rain threat with storms. Clearing should
be gradual overnight from northwest to southeast.
Saturday through Sunday night: High pressure will be located over
the region for the weekend. Our region will also be under a mid-
level trough with flow and winds from the west and northwest. As a
result, it looks to be precipitation free this weekend with a little
relief from the humidity compared to most of this week. Little
difference within various datasets, modeling and forecast techniques
with regards to the weather. High temperatures will be summerlike
well into the 80's with overnight lows still in the 60's.
Monday through Tuesday night: High pressure this weekend will move
offshore leading to another round of southerly flow to pump up
additonal heat and humidity into the region as mid-level ridging
increases. Another cold front will likely be able to serve as a
focal mechanism for some scattered afternoon and evening
thunderstorms both days. At this time, shear is modeled to be fairly
low which would limit the severe threat with this frontal boundary.
More in the way and clouds and scattered storms look to keep us away
from widespread 90's as well. Still typical summertime heat with in
the 80's with lows in the 60's are still expected.
Wednesday through Thursday: Another high pressure system is expected
to move eastward into the region behind the front leading to a
period of drier weather. However, this high pressure system looks to
move quickly eastward leading to more southerly flow with increased
heat and humidity. Modeled Mid-level heights increase considerably
which may act to delay the approach of the next cold front. Under
the increased ridging, modeled 925 mb temperatures rise into mid and
even upper 20's. Our current concern is the values coupled with a
delayed approach of the next front would result in high temperatures
well into the 90's on Wednesday and well into the 90's on Thursday.
Low temperatures would increase into the 70's as well. These values
are similar to the current heat episode ongoing and on the upper end
of the ensemble spread.
&&
.AVIATION /21Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.
Showers and thunderstorms and storms are moving into ABE/RDG
near 20Z. This activity will move eastward into the Phila
terminals most likely between 2130 and 0000Z. Brief CIG/VSBY
restrictions can be expected when these storms move thru. There
is also the threat of locally strong winds above 40 kt.
The threat of thunderstorms is forecast to decrease overnight
but additional showers may move into the area. Also, visibility
restrictions and low clouds are possible in areas that receive
heavy rainfall.
It is then expected that low clouds move south-southwestward
into the area early Friday morning following a fropa. CIGs could
lower to MVFR and possibly IFR in spots once the stratus
arrives. A wind shift from S-SW to NE and then E-SE is
expected in wake of fropa as well.
MVFR CIGs will likely continue for most terminals during the day
Friday. Additional showers and storms are expected as well.
OUTLOOK...
Friday night: Sub-VFR in the evening due to showers and
thunderstorms with gradual improvement overnight. Winds becoming
west under 10 knots. Higher and more variable in and near
thunderstorms.
Saturday through Sunday night: VFR, winds generally under 10 knots
from the west and southwest.
Monday through Tuesday: Mainly VFR with a few isolated to scattered
afternoon and evening thunderstorms, Southerly winds around 10
knots.
&&
.MARINE...
Winds and seas will remain below SCA criteria tonight and
Friday.
Thunderstorms that have already developed on land this
afternoon will threaten the waters through the evening. Locally
gusty winds above 30 kt, lightning and brief heavy downpours
are possible with these storms. Strong storms are possible again
on Friday, especially during the afternoon in our southern
coastal waters and DE Bay.
OUTLOOK...
Friday night through Tuesday: Sub-SCA seas and winds. Locally strong
gusts in thunderstorms Friday night along with Monday and Tuesday in
the afternoon and evening hours. Winds will be westerly on Saturday
before becoming more southerly early next week.
RIP CURRENTS...
A low risk for the development of dangerous rip currents is
expected to continue into Friday.
&&
.CLIMATE...
GED ASOS recorded a high temperature of 96 degrees, which ties
a daily record high at Georgetown for June 13th that was
previously set back in 1986.
