Area forecast discussion, Dec 20, 9:31 AM EST, 49 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
931 AM EST Thu Dec 20 2018
.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure across the southeastern states today will intensify as
it tracks northward tonight through Friday. As it moves into eastern
Canada Friday night and Saturday morning, a cold front will move
across our area. A weak high pressure system arrives Sunday, however
a weak clipper system may track nearby Sunday night or Monday. High
pressure arrives for Tuesday into Wednesday.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Morning forecast generally on track. Will make adjustments to
hourly grids based on latest surface obs.
Low pressure across the Deep South will begin moving northward
through the day into the southeast states. Meanwhile, a warm
front will extend northeastward along the east coast. As the
warm front approaches the region this afternoon, a couple of
short wave/vorticity impulses will move across the area. This
will lead to an increase in shower activity across the Mid-
Atlantic region by this afternoon, although more will come later
tonight.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
The main event with this storm system will occur later this evening
and overnight tonight. The low pressure system will be making its
way northward along the Appalachians, while the warm front lifts
across the area. Multiple short wave/vorticity impulses will be
making their way across our area within the southerly flow aloft
during the evening and overnight hours. Low-mid level lift will be
increasing as these impulses move across the area and will combine
with increasing PW values which peak around 1.5-1.75 inches. This
will lead to an extended period of rainfall, with periods of
moderate to heavy rain at times. Widespread 1.5-2.5 inches of rain
is expected, with locally higher amounts of 3+ inches possible. The
heaviest rain is expected across portions of northern, central, and
eastern New Jersey, as well as eastern and northeastern
Pennsylvania. There is also a chance of thunderstorms overnight as
some weak instability builds across the area, which could add a
convective element to the rainfall, leading to the locally higher
amounts of rainfall.
Another concern for late tonight into Friday morning will be the
potential for strong/gusty winds, especially for coastal areas of New
Jersey and Delaware. Wind gusts across much of the area will likely
reach 25-35 mph, however, areas closer to the coast will reach 35-45
mph, with locally higher gusts near 50 mph. Therefore the Wind
Advisory remains for coastal areas of Delaware and New Jersey.
As we move into Friday, the warm front will have lifted to our north
as the low pressure system lifts to our northwest, before a cold
front moves across the area during the day. The passage of this
front will lead to additional showers as there remains plenty of
moisture and lift as a couple of more short wave/vorticity impulses
move across the area. There may even be a few thunderstorms as some
weak instability develop during the day. Precipitation chances will
diminish later in the day as the moisture weakens and short waves
pass to our north.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Summary...A cold frontal passage to start the weekend along with
gusty winds and cooler conditions. A weak clipper system may track
nearby Sunday night or Monday, then high pressure generally arrives
for Tuesday and Wednesday.
Synoptic Overview...A full-latitude upper-level trough will be
lifting out of the East Friday night and especially Saturday,
driving a deepening surface low up into eastern Canada. The upper-
level flow then backs to more zonal during the second half of the
weekend, however more of an upper-level trough will settle eastward
from the Midwest and Great Lakes Sunday night and Monday. This may
result in a clipper system sliding nearby during that time frame.
During the first half of next week, a sharpening upper-level trough
across the Plains will result in downstream ridging allowing surface
high pressure to build across our region. There remains some
uncertainty though regarding the individual short waves, which may
be tied to a clipper or two type systems Sunday night through early
next week. Otherwise, stronger energy looks to end up consolidating
across the Plains with the northern stream energy potentially
shearing eastward.
Friday night and Saturday...The full-latitude upper-level trough
will be lifting northeastward across the East during this time
frame. This will occur as a 120-knot 500 mb jet lifts up along the
eastern side of the trough. This will drive deepening surface low
pressure across New England and eastern Canada, pulling a cold front
across our area later Friday night into Saturday. The main forcing
for ascent will be shifting to our north, therefore the rain should
taper to showers and become less numerous and then end through this
time frame. It is possible that some low-topped thunder tries to
arrive from the west or southwest to start Friday evening, otherwise
just showers. There could be enough cold air arriving from the west
where some snow mixes in across the far northwestern areas before
ending. Some cold air advection aloft along with some milder air
hanging on in the boundary layer will lead to deeper mixing on
Saturday. The forecast soundings show around 30 knots available to
mix down and with a tight pressure gradient in place, Saturday will
be a breezy to windy day. The winds should diminish some as we go
through Saturday night.
Sunday and Monday...The progressive pattern aloft results in short
wave energy quickly moving eastward during this time frame. The
challenge is the actual timing and amplitude with the associated
trough aloft. Some guidance is stronger with this energy which
allows for a stronger clipper type system that evolves into the
Northeast and Mid-Atlantic Sunday night into Monday. Some other
guidance looks to shear this energy faster eastward, resulting in a
weaker surface system and therefore less precipitation. Given the
uncertainty, kept rather low PoPs in for mainly the Sunday night in
Monday morning time frame and thermal profiles would support rain or
rain/snow.
Tuesday and Wednesday...The pattern aloft looks to amplify across
the West which results in a downstream ridge to eventually spread
eastward. This will allow surface high pressure to build into the
East as a frontal zone is nearly stalled well to our south. Based on
the positioning of the surface high, it looks to be on the cooler
side during this time frame. There could be however a short wave on
Tuesday that tries to produce some precipitation, however this is
less certain as a decent amount of dry air could be in place to keep
the area precipitation-free.

.AVIATION /15Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.
Today...VFR conditions continue for this morning, however,
conditions will lower to MVFR through the afternoon and may even
reach IFR before the day is over as rain begins to spread across the
area from the south. Light and variable winds early will become
east-northeast trough the day 5-10 knots.
Tonight...Conditions will continue to deteriorate to IFR into this
evening and remain IFR overnight as periods of moderate to heavy
rain spread across the area. Winds will become more southeasterly as a
warm front approaches and moves across the area. Winds likely to
gust 20-30 knots for many areas, with the strongest winds for ACY
and MIV with 30-40 knots possible there.
Friday...IFR conditions likely to remain across the TAF sites with
additional rainfall possible. Winds become more southwesterly as a
cold front moves across the area. Wind gusts strongest early in the
morning, then diminish later in the morning into the afternoon.
OUTLOOK...
Friday night...Ceilings should improve to MVFR especially late as
rain tapers off to some showers. South to southwest winds around 10
knots, becoming west toward daybreak Saturday.
Saturday...Mainly VFR and drying out. West to west-northwest winds
winds 15-20 knots with gusts 30-35 knots.
Sunday and Monday...Mainly VFR. However, some rain and/or snow
showers possible Sunday night into Monday.
&&
.MARINE...
Conditions likely remain below advisory levels today, however, winds
and seas will increase through the night tonight as the pressure
gradient increases and strong low level jet moves across the area.
Therefore the Gale Warning remains in place. Winds will diminish
through the day Friday as the gradient weakens, however seas will
remain elevated through the day.
OUTLOOK...
Friday night...Small Craft Advisory conditions expected with
elevated seas remaining.
Saturday...Small Craft Advisory conditions expected, with the
potential for low-end gale force gusts at times.
Sunday...Winds are anticipated to be diminishing below Small Craft
Advisory criteria, along with subsiding seas.
Monday...Small Craft Advisory conditions are possible.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
Periods of moderate to heavy rain are expected at times this evening
into the early morning hours Friday. Rainfall amounts of 1.5-2.5
inches are expected, with some locally higher amounts of 3+ inches
area possible, especially if any thunderstorms and training occur.
Even without thunderstorms, a long duration rainfall event is
expected to lead to significant rises on many local creeks and
streams and even the larger rivers. Several forecast points are
forecast to approach or exceed their flood stage according to the
GEFS and NAEFS on the MMEFS website. The latest forecasts from MARFC
follow suit, with several gauges reaching caution stage and a few
(namely, Pine Brook, Macopin Dam, Boonton, Pemberton, and Blackwells
Mills) reaching flood stage. Therefore, the Flood Watch continues.
Nuisance poor drainage/low lying flooding will be the first issue,
followed by stream/river flooding, assuming the expected rainfall
comes to fruition. If river flooding comes to fruition, it could
last through the weekend.
For our mainstem rivers, and once again assuming the expected
rainfall comes to fruition, portions of the Passaic are the most
likely to exceed flood stage followed by portions of the Raritan. If
these regions experience the heaviest rainfall and see totals
between two and three inches, moderate to major flooding will be
possible. While the threat isn't as high for the Schuylkill River,
minor flooding is a possibility. We are not seeing flooding on the
Delaware River at this time, but we can't rule out some locations
getting as high as action/caution stage.
Lastly, any rain near the coast will exacerbate potential tidal
flooding.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Coastal flooding remains a concern with the upcoming storm system,
mainly with the daytime high tide Friday. Strong southeasterly
onshore flow will precede the system today and tonight, shifting to
more of a southerly direction as we head into Friday. A full moon
will occur Saturday, meaning there will be a higher than normal
astronomical high tide Friday morning. A combination of these two
components are forecast to cause minor to possibly moderate coastal
flooding Friday morning.
Widespread heavy rain is also forecast with this system, likely
ranging from 1.5-2.5 inches across the CWA, with most of the rain
falling Thursday night into Friday. This will likely lead to
increased fresh water inundation along the coast and tidal
waterways. This is not accounted for in the current tidal forecast.
Heavy rain, especially near the time of high tide, could result in
more areas seeing moderate tidal flooding.
