Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
356 AM EDT Sat Aug 4 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A trough of low pressure will move through the area this
morning. High pressure and an associated upper level ridge will
then build in late today and dominate our weather through
Monday. Another upper level trough and weak front will move in
and affect the area for the middle to latter part of next week.
&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...

330 AM...Trough of low pressure currently moving slowly through
eastern PA with successive rounds of heavy showers continuing to
train south to north through Chester, Burks Counties north
through the Lehigh Valley into the southern Poconos and portions
of NW NJ. These heavy showers are being driven by deep moisture
plume feeding north along the east coast with PWATs over 2
inches and a deep warm cloud layer with just enough instability. We
have already received reports of flooding and flash flooding
and as showers continue to train north this threat will persist
in the watch area through early this morning. The good news is
that as the upper level trough driving this system finally
advances east into this morning this will lead to showers
pushing eastward out of the watch area by mid morning. As this
occurs, areas further east along and east of the I-95 corridor
will recieve a period of showers, heavy at times, this morning.
However since this area has not been hit as hard with recent
rainfall and the system will be more progressive as it moves
through these areas farther east we do not expect flash flooding
here. However local urban, small stream, and poor drainage
flooding will be possible.

By this afternoon, last of the heaviest/steadiest showers will
be clearing the coast as the deep moisture plume that has been
over the east for the past few days finally clears the area.
This will lead to skies finally becoming partly to mostly sunny
this afternoon with highs generally in the mid 80s. There
will however continue to be some instability and enough low
level moisture and weak forcing aloft that an isolated afternoon
shower or storm will be possible. However most areas should be
rain free after this main batch of showers clears.
&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM SUNDAY/...

Upper level trough axis continues to move off to the east
tonight with an upper level ridge progressing east through the
eastern Great Lakes towards the area. This will result in a
westward extension of the Bermuda high building west along the
east coast. As a result of this, skies become mainly clear
tonight with light winds and abundant low level moisture
continuing to persist...especially for areas that have received
recent heavy rains. For these reasons expect at least patchy fog
to develop...especially over eastern PA. Given this set up, it
could become quite dense in spots. Expect lows generally in the
low to mid 60s over the southern Poconos and in the upper 60s to
low 70s elsewhere as temps will be dropping very close to dew
points.
&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

330 AM Update...No major changes to the overall forecast
thinking for the long range. We lowered dew points some for
Sunday and Monday due to deeper mixing expected and also trimmed
back the area of slight chance POPs a bit for Monday. For
further details, please see previous discussion below.

Friday Afternoon's Discussion...Typical summertime weather will
remain across the area during the long term. A high pressure
system will continue to pump humid and very warm air across the
area, while occasionally an upper disturbance or weak surface
front will set off showers and thunderstorms.

The favored time periods for showers and thunderstorms will be
from next Monday night and into the Wed/Thu period as another
upper trough and sfc front meanders across the area. Preceding
this, ample warn and humid air will be in place, so the
possibility for some heavy downpours will be upon us once again.
We have mostly chc pops for the fcst for Tue thru Thu.

Temperatures will be well above normal Sunday and Monday, the
two dry days as an upper ridge will be across the region. Heat
index values during these days will be in the low/mid 90s,so
some limited heat related issues are possible across the urban
areas. After Monday, the added clouds will probably cause
temperatures to fall back closer to normal.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.

Until 12z...MVFR and IFR at KRDG and KABE with rain, heavy at
times. VFR lowering to MVFR and IFR in moderate to heavy rain at
KILG, KPHL, KPNE and KTTN. VFR lowering to MVFR in light to
moderate rain at KMIV and KACY. Isolated thunder is expected but
it should not be widespread enough to include in the TAFs.
South to southwest wind 8 knots or less.

Today...MVFR in the morning with rain ending. Conditions
improving to VFR for the afternoon hours with clearing taking
place at that time. Southwest wind 6 to 12 knots becoming west.

Tonight...MVFR/IFR restrictions possible by the overnight in
patchy fog...especially for KRDG/KABE.

OUTLOOK...
Sunday thru Monday...Mostly VFR. Patchy overnight/early AM fog
possible with associated restrictions.

Monday night thru Wednesday...Mostly VFR. Sct tstms with lower
   conditions psbl.

&&

.MARINE...
SW winds will gust to 20 knots today with occasional gusts up to
25 knots possible but this is not expected to be widespread
enough for an SCA. Also, showers moving through this morning
into early this afternoon may bring areas of low visibilities.

OUTLOOK... Sub-SCA expected. Fair weather Sun thru Monday
night. Sct showers and tstms Tue thru Wed.

RIP CURRENTS...
There is a moderate risk for the development of dangerous rip
currents on Saturday at the New Jersey and Delaware beaches. The
wind should be from the south and southwest around 10 MPH.
Waves in the surf zone are forecast to be around 3 feet with a
moderate period primary swell. However, there should be an
underlying long period swell (around 14 seconds) from the
southeast and that is the main reason for the moderate risk.
