Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
259 AM EST Thu Jan 4 2018
.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure rapidly intensifies as it quickly moves northward to
the Atlantic waters east of New Jersey Thursday morning, then to the
Canadian Maritimes by Friday. Arctic high pressure will then build
into the East through most of the weekend. Low pressure is forecast
to track near our area early next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
* Major winter storm to impact the region later tonight and
Thursday*
Update for this section probably around 330am.
No major changes with the 930 PM update. Snow is beginning to
move into our area and banded structure is already developing
upstream. As a result, the going forecast looks on track. There
remain some differences between the high resolution models as
the HRRR depicts most of the mesoscale banding off shore, while
most of the other models depict banding, especially east of the
I 95 corridor.
Otherwise, bend of LAV/MET/MAV guidance was used with
temperatures. Pops increase from southwest to northeast tonight,
hitting on a thermal gradient providing lift just offshore for
precipitation formation. Snow will be widespread by the morning
commute. Mesoanalysis and more general details below...
Mesoanalysis:
A high impact winter storm is still expected to track up the east
coast tonight and Thursday. The first issue is the actual formation
of this low. Model data has struggled for the past several days
regarding how the storm forms with competing low centers.
Modeling has shifted to a more western center closer to the main
temperature gradient. A look at SPC mesoanalysis currently shows the
western low being more dominant. With this being said, the location
of convection will still be an issue as we draw closer to the event.
The further offshore convection fires the less moisture moves into
our region. As a result, the trend has been more precipitation
showing up with the afternoon model data given tendencies to the
western low. On the flip side, a concern still remains that dry air
on the backside of the storm could still lower QPF totals from the
current forecast.
The low pressure system will organize overnight and spread snow
northwest into our region. The 12Z 1/3 NAM soundings are near
freezing a few thousand feet up near the coast so some sleet could
mix in at times tonight.
Snow within the bands does have the potential to be moderate or
heavy at times with mesoscale models keying on this. Thus, large
differences in totals over short ranges could occur. Winds will
increase as well with bufkit soundings yielding gusts from 30-50 mph
in spots. Blowing and drifting of snow are major concerns.
General storm highlights:
Timing: Overnight and Thursday.
1. Blowing and drifting snow will occur regionwide. This will reduce
visibilities and make travel very difficult. The wind may result in
downed trees and power outages as well. The impacts will be rather
high from the blowing and drifting!
2. Snow totals look to range from a couple of inches in the Southern
Poconos up to ten inches at the shore. The Thursday morning commute
will be very difficult with the snow, blowing snow and cold.
3. Based on the increased totals, we expanded the warning further
northwest into Philadelphia and Trenton. An advisory was issued
further north and west. Although some locations may not reach the 2-
3 inch criteria, impacts such as blowing snow and timing with the
morning rush were taken into account.
4. A blizzard warning was issued along the coast given higher winds
forecasted.
5. Try to get any needed travel done this evening if possible.
While the advisories/warnings start this evening it may not be
until late evening or overnight before snow starts.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/...
Update for this section probably around 330am.
The storm will be the main show. Temperatures were a blend of
MET/MAV and generally in the 20's. Pops are categorical across the
board, slightly lower in the Southern Poconos given the concern over
dry air on the backside of the storm. Snow should end from southwest
to northeast in the afternoon.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
NO CHANGE in forecast philosophy. This is a very rugged period
of cold weather for our area...not often experienced. See
climate section.
Have not changed this discussion from previously issued 330 PM
ydy.
What we changed in this forecast from the previous forecast...lowered
temps a few degrees Fri night-Monday evening per 2m temps from
the 00z/4 GFS/EC/GGEM, increased wind gusts and lowered wind
chills a bit. Therefore have issued wind chill advy and warnings

forecasts will address. Also delayed onset of the next waa
event. Note: no guarantee the temp rises above Freezing Monday
and we may be facing a winter wx advisory situation Monday
night.
We continue to advise everyone to take this upcoming Friday-Sunday
frigid outbreak very seriously. Have safety plans in place
including a stash of warm clothes in the car in case of a rural
location break down and certainly plenty of fuel for well
maintained home and facility heating systems.
Summary...Dangerous cold in the wake of the Nor'easter through
at least the first half of the weekend; a warm-up early next
week as low pressure tracks near our area.
Synoptic Overview...A deep upper-level trough in the East weakens
and shifts offshore Saturday night and Sunday. The flow then backs
ahead of the next trough sliding across the Midwest to the Southern
Plains. This combined with a return flow on the backside of
departing cold high pressure will allow the arctic air to start
eroding. Warming takes place early next week as a low pressure
system tracks near our area, however a more southern track may keep
colder low-level air in longer especially north and west of I-95.
For Thursday night through Sunday...Intense low pressure will be
moving into the Canadian Maritimes Thursday night into Friday. This
time frame will be dominated by arctic air and dangerous cold. Some
moderation is expected Sunday though as the major upper-level trough
lifts out. Until then, gusty northwesterly winds will combine with
very cold air temperatures leading to dangerously low wind chills
across the entire area. The gusty winds may continue blowing and
drifting snow into Friday. There is a Wind Chill Watch for the
southern Poconos for Thursday night into Friday. Some areas in this
region are forecast to experience wind chills right around -25F at
times. For now, we will keep the Watch going. Elsewhere, a Wind
Chill Advisory looks to be needed for Thursday night and Friday
morning with wind chills down around -10F. Additional Wind Chill
Advisories will probably be needed for Friday night and Saturday
night. The extent of this will depend on how much the winds stay up,
although it will be so cold just light winds will have an impact on
the wind chill. Overall, a very very cold time frame followed by
some improvement on Sunday as the arctic high starts to shift
offshore.
For Monday through Wednesday...As the flow initially backs ahead of
the next system, warm air advection occurs as high pressure is to
our east. Low pressure is forecast to track near our area with a
cold front moving through Monday night. Some guidance however is
farther south with the primary surface low development, and if this
occurs the warming would be slowed especially in the low levels.
This could result in a period of some mixed/icy precipitation to
then even some rain as enough warming should take place. More
specifics as we get closer. It then look to turn colder for
Wednesday.

.AVIATION /08Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.
Rest of this afternoon...VFR with an increase in clouds at or above
15,000 feet. Light and variable winds overall.
Tonight...VFR through the evening for most terminals. Snow develops
generally in the 03-09z timeframe with earlier onset mainly at ACY
and MIV. The ceilings will lower to MVFR with visibilities dropping
to MVFR/IFR. Lower confidence with the onset of snow and lower
conditions, especially farther inland. Northerly winds around 5
knots, increasing late to 10-15 knots.
Thursday...Snow with IFR conditions (LIFR at times within heavier
snow where hourly rates could be 1-2 inches) to nearly all
terminals. The snow will end from southwest to northeast during the
afternoon. North to northwest winds increase to 15-25 knots with
gusts 30-40 knots resulting in considerable blowing and drifting
snow. The ceilings/visibilities should improve by later in the
afternoon. Moderate confidence.
OUTLOOK...
Friday through Saturday...VFR with northwest winds 10-20 knots
with gusts 25-35 knots. Isolated 40-45 kt gusts possible
Friday afternoon! High confidence.
Sunday...VFR with west to southwest winds less than 10 knots. High
confidence.
Monday...MVFR conditions possible with a chance for some mixed
precipitation at night. Southwesterly winds 5-10 knots. Moderate
confidence.
&&
.MARINE...
Seas will gradually build tonight and continue well above five feet
through Thursday. We are still anticipating gales on both the bay
and ocean waters. Storm conditions are possible as well near buoy
44099. No changes to marine headlines as conditions gradually
deteriorate tonight. Precipitation may be mixed with sleet and rain
further offshore.
Outlook...
Friday through Saturday...Gale conditions through the period,
with moderate to heavy freezing spray (especially near the
coast) developing and advisories and warnings are now issued for
same. Gale warnings will be needed after the Storm Warning
expires for the Atlantic Delaware waters and is already in
effect for Delaware Bay and the New Jersey coastal waters
through Friday night. Low end gales may occur for a time
Saturday. There is high confidence in gales through at least
Saturday and in freezing spray being an increasingly hazardous
threat.
Saturday night...Small craft advisory conditions are forecast, with
light to moderate freezing spray.
Sunday and Monday...Sub-advisory conditions area anticipated.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Coastal Flood Advisories are in place for the NJ and DE
coastlines for this mornings high tide.
The rapidly intensifying cyclone off the coast and the recent
full moon, has increased the potential for coastal flooding for
this mornings high tide. This mornings forecasts continue to
show widespread minor tidal flooding along the NJ and DE coasts
with a couple locations on the upper end of minor. Current
guidance keeps flooding below moderate thresholds but we will
continue to monitor this as we head towards this mornings high
tide.
Reports from the Manasquan area on Wednesday indicated water
reaching portions of low-water crossings and subsequently
freezing. Any stagnant water at high tide has the potential to
freeze, creating an additional impact to the potential for
flooding.
Additionally, as the storm pulls away we will see very strong
westerly winds across the region and there will be the
potential for blowout tides to occur between Friday and Sunday.
&&
.CLIMATE...
Record snowfall for today January 4 and most locations should
exceed this daily record!
ACY...2.5-1905
PHL...4.5-1942
ILG...3.5-1952
ABE...6.5-1942
Arctic cold will continue its hold on the region through Monday
morning with what we think will be increasing adverse impact on the
infrastructure as one of the most persistent cold outbreaks in
recent memory extends through Sunday January 7.
This outbreak has already been associated with several daily cold
(both maximum and minimum) temperature records over the past week,
including a record low at Georgetown, DE (GED) and Reading, PA (RDG)
and a record cold maximum at Allentown (ABE) on New Years Day. On
the 3rd...we had a record low at GED and a record equaling low at
RDG.
Additional record lows and record cold maximum temperatures should
be set Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The following list includes records, many of which will be
rewritten.
Record Low Temps for Friday 1/5: also Record low Max
Allentown (ABE).....not likely 15F (1968)
Reading (RDG).......not likely 12F (1904)
Atlantic City (ACY).not likely 18F (1968)
Philadelphia (PHL)..not likely 14F (1904)
Wilmington (ILG)....not likely 16F (1904)
Trenton (TTN).......not likely no rer avbl
Georgetown (GED)....9F (1958) no rer avbl
Mount Pocono (MPO)..not likely no rer avbl
Record Low Temps for Saturday 1/6: also Record low Max
Allentown (ABE).......not likely 13F (1942)
Reading (RDG).........not likely 15F (1912)
Atlantic City (ACY)...4F (1981) 17F (1912)
Philadelphia (PHL)...4F (1896) 18F (1942)
Wilmington (ILG)...7F (1924 and 1946) 20F (1988)
Trenton (TTN)...5F (1896 and 1904) no rer avbl
Georgetown (GED)...6F (1969) no rer avbl
Mount Pocono (MPO).....not likely no rer avbl
Record Low Temperatures for Sunday 1/7:
Allentown (ABE)....-4F (1942)
Atlantic City (ACY).4F (1884)
Philadelphia (PHL)..4F (2014)
Wilmington (ILG)....3F (2014)
Reading (RDG).......0F (2014)
Trenton (TTN).......2F (2014)
Georgetown (GED)....8F (2014)
Mount Pocono (MPO)..-8F (2014)
Some uncertainty exists as to when the temperature will exceed 32F
early next week but for now our forecast is that this will occur
Monday.
So, since odds strongly favor temps maintaining aob 32F through
Sunday Jan 7...here is a perspective on how this will rank in our
official records.
Leading with the following: In a short 20 year period of accessible
history...Mount Pocono has never recorded a complete single day of
subzero temps. It has only 2 consecutive days of max temps sub 10F.
There is a good chance Mount Pocono will remain at or below zero
from about 7 PM Friday through about 10 AM Sunday. That will also
include some wind chill of 30 below.
At or below freezing consecutive days listing below with no change
from yesterday except PHL listed last.
ABE 13 consecutive days would be ranking 4th longest (tied) and
coldest since February 1979. The last time ABE was above freezing
was 1835z/25th=135PM EST.
RDG 13 consecutive days would be ranking 7th longest and coldest
since December 2000. the last time RDG was above freezing was
1855z/25th=155PM EST. (This data is from our XMACIS; Our climate
binder has this as 8th longest).
TTN 13 consecutive days would be ranking 4th longest and coldest
since February 1979. The last time TTN was above freezing was
2120z/25=420PM EST.
ILG 12 consecutive days would be ranking 3rd longest (tied) and
coldest since February 1979. The last time ILG was above freezing
was 2051z/26=351PM EST.
ACY (shaky and uncertain based on what happens this afternoon and
tonight) 12 consecutive days would be ranking 5th longest and
coldest since February 1979. The last time ACY was above freezing
was 2125z/26=425PM EST.
Max temps at all locations listed for 12-13 consecutive day 32F or
less max temps made it through Wednesday January 3 except PHL which
rose to 33F for a couple of minutes at 337 PM January 3rd. That
particular couple of minutes above freezing officially makes it a
discontinuous 12-13 day string of 32F or less, but for all intents
and purposes...it marginally affects the ranking of coldest periods.
PHL recalculated below for 33F or lower.
PHL 12 consecutive days (33F or lower) would be ranking 8th longest
(tied) and coldest such period since January 1982.
