Area forecast discussion, Dec 5, 1:08 PM EST, 2 hours 19 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
108 PM EST Wed Dec 5 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure weakens across the Northeast through Thursday
while a trough affects the coastal areas of New Jersey today.
Low pressure will move well north of the area Thursday, pulling
a cold front across the area Thursday night. High pressure
builds in for Friday and Saturday before moving offshore Sunday.
Low pressure develops across the southern states Sunday, then
moves northeast along part of the East Coast through early next
week. High pressure builds in for the middle of next week.

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Strengthening low-level convergence and a narrow zone of frontogenesis
in the presence of an inverted surface trough has resulted in
the area of snow expanding and also intensify. Snowfall rates of
up to an inch per hour look to occur in areas of higher radar
reflectivities. The higher snowfall rates will allow for more
efficient accumulation on the road surfaces. The snow has
expanded back into Philadelphia and now across much of
Burlington County. The farther inland one goes, the depth of the
dry air looks to be more substantial however lift is overcoming
this in a southeast to northwest zone.

Given some reports, trends, snowfall rates and temperatures,
upgraded Atlantic County to a Winter Storm Warning. Opted to
expand the Winter Weather Advisory west and south to include
the rest of southern New Jersey. Looks to be a sharp southward
cutoff across Salem, Cumberland and Cape May counties. Some of
the guidance did decent with this event, with the signal showing
up at least a few days ago. PoPs were reworked once again and
we made adjustments to the snowfall amounts. Updated snow total
graphics have been uploaded to the web.

Elsewhere, a cold day expected with lots of cloudiness. Drier
air toward the Poconos should result in more filtered sunshine.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM THURSDAY/...
Lower clouds associated with the trough should clear out quickly
this evening as the surface low lifts further northeast out to sea
and a surface ridge builds over the region. With clear skies, expect
temperatures to drop into the 20s across the region.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Thu...Fair weather with a continuation of the below normal
temperatures is expected. Highs only in the 30s across the N/W areas
and closer to 40 degrees near Philadelphia and across Delmarva. A
ridge of high pressure will move across the region during the day.

Thu night...Low pressure moves well north of the area and an
associated cold front crosses the region. This reinforces the
cold air already in place. A chc for snow showers will be
confined to the N/W most areas for the overnight. Chc pops are
fcst with no accums expected. Lows in the low 20s N/W and upper
20s to low 30s S/E.

Fri thru Sat night...More fair weather as another high pressure
system affects the area. A continuation of below normal temps with
highs, once again, in the 30s N/W and close to 40 S/E.

Sun thru Tue...The next system that will affect the southern and
eastern areas will be developing across the southern U.S. and
moving NE off the Carolina coast late this weekend and into
early next week. The 00Z op models are now starting to show some
signs of agreement with regards to the path of the system, but
still plenty of details to sort over the next few days. The rain
vs. snow line will be close to srn NJ and Delmarva as the
system nears, so determining p-type at this time range is
difficult at best. We have chc pops for the S/E areas now, with
the possibility of a miss still in play. One of the important
short waves which will figure in the overall track is now
arriving off the West coast. When it gets sampled better in the
upper-air, the fcsts will begin to align better. Hopefully !

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.

This afternoon and tonight...
Snow has spread farther north than anticipated and continues
across southern New Jersey, southeast Pennsylvania, and far
northern portions of Delaware. Some snow has become heavy enough
for visibilities to drop to IFR at MIV/PHL/PNE, with the
heaviest snow at ACY dropping to 1/4SM-1/2SM at times. Some
light snow may also reach into TTN which may lower visibilities
to around 5SM. The rest of the TAF sites will remain VFR through
the afternoon.

Once the snow tapers off, VFR condition will then return to the
TAF sites and continue overnight.

Winds will shift to the west and northwest this afternoon at all
sites if they haven't shifted already. Speeds will generally be
5-10 knots.

Outlook...
Thu...VFR expected.
Thu night...VFR most areas but some show showers far NW with a
few restrictions possible. Gusty winds possible.
Fri thru Sat night...VFR expected.

&&

.MARINE...
Winds and seas are likely to stay below SCA criteria although
winds will gust around 20 kt at times today and tonight.

Outlook...

Thu...Sub-SCA. Fair.
Thu night thru Fri morning...SCA winds gusts possible. Fair.
Thu afternoon thru Sat night...Sub-SCA. Fair. Sun...SCA
developing late. Chc for rain or snow south.

...AN AREA OF VERY HEAVY SNOW WILL AFFECT SOUTHEASTERN
ATLANTIC...SOUTHERN OCEAN...NORTHEASTERN CAPE MAY AND SOUTHEASTERN
BURLINGTON COUNTIES...

At 200 PM EST, an area of very heavy snow was located along a line
extending from near Bass River State Forest to Port Republic to near
Somers Point to near Ocean City. Movement was southeast at 5 mph.

Snowfall rates to around 2 inches per hour will be common within
this intense band of snow. This will result in poor driving
conditions due to significantly reduced visibilities of one quarter
of a mile or less along with snow covered roads.

Locations impacted include...
Atlantic City, Ocean City, Pleasantville, Somers Point, Ventnor City,
Brigantine, Northfield, Absecon, Margate City, Egg Harbor City,
Tuckerton, Estell Manor, Port Republic, Longport, Corbin City,
Beesleys Point, Wading River, Pomona, English Creek and Marmora.

The snow is expected to diminish in intensity and then taper off
later this afternoon and into early this evening.
