Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
947 AM EDT Tue Oct 30 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will continue to build across the eastern U.S.

wind adjustments to the hourly grids.

An upper level trough will continue to move east of the region

low 50s over the southern Poconos and NW NJ to the mid 50s to
low 60s elsewhere...mildest over the Delmarva.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
Surface ridge extending north from high pressure over the
southeast crests over the area later this evening before moving
offshore overnight. The result will be light winds and
continuing mainly clear skies with a good set up for
radiational cooling. Expect lows in the mid to upper 30s over
the southern Poconos and NW NJ and in the upper 30s to mid 40s
elsewhere...warmest over the Delmarva.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Main focus for the medium-range forecast is on the late-week
system, with the biggest change being a slow-down in its
progression across the area.

The operational models depict a strong upper low in south-
central Canada at 12Z Wednesday with a southern-stream
northwest-flow vort max digging southeastward into the Four
Corners region. Downstream of these large-scale systems, ridge
amplification will be taking place across the East Coast, and
this spells a warmup for the area. MEX/ECE guidance show
temperatures 3-8 degrees above seasonal averages on Wednesday
increasing to 5 to 15 degrees above seasonal averages on
Thursday. South to southwest winds on the upstream side of a
surface high shifting off the coast during this period may be on
the breezy side during the day, especially south of the Mason-
Dixon Line and near the coast.

For the most part, the region should be dry on Wednesday, but
the approaching cold front attendant to the large-scale upper
low in southern Canada will make enough progress southeastward
to begin affecting northwest portions of the CWA Wednesday
night and Thursday. Increased PoPs in these areas through this
period but only made gradual progression southeastward with
time, as the highly amplified pattern and the strong ridging in
the western Atlantic will not allow much movement of the front
during this period.

The key to faster progression thereafter is a kicker
perturbation in the southern stream that digs southeastward
quickly on Thursday from the central Rockies to the southern
plains. This allows the predecessor vort max to eject
northeastward into the central Mississippi Valley and Ohio
Valley by Thursday night. Aided by jet coupling and strong
differential cyclonic vorticity advection, surface cyclogenesis
will occur from the southern plains northeast into the Ohio
Valley Wednesday night and Thursday. The 00Z models indicate the
surface low placement somewhere in the Ohio/Tennessee Valleys by
00Z Friday (GFS typically fast; ECMWF slow; CMC generally in
between). This process will stall the approaching cold front
(possibly retreating northward as a warm front) as a north-
south cold front begins to sweep eastward to the south of the
developing low. Very strong ridge amplification will occur
Thursday night and Friday, aiding in substantial isentropic
ascent near the stalled front in the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic.
Rain should pick up quickly Thursday night as this occurs. The
main question is where...as the front's position will be
critical in deducing who gets moderate to heavy precip and who
gets little to none farther southward into the warm sector.

I suspect the heaviest precipitation will remain north/west of
the area, but the Poconos and Lehigh Valley look to be in close
enough proximity to see some decent rainfall during this period.
Given the associated isentropic (slanted) ascent, suspect most
of the precipitation will be stratiform. However, cannot
completely rule out convection during this period, especially if
precipitation can develop in the warm sector. May need to add
thunder chances for this period in later forecasts. Model QPF
through this time is indicating potential for 0.5-2 inches of
rain generally northwest of the urban corridor with rapidly
diminishing amounts to the southeast.

The surface low makes the move northeastward into the eastern
Great Lakes and southeast Canada by Friday night, with the cold
front to its south sweeping eastward into the Appalachians and
East Coast through this time. A strong perturbation will eject
eastward atop the front. This highly dynamic setup spells
widespread showers and a few storms in advance of the front
Friday and Friday night. Have added thunder mention for Friday.
The ECMWF is fairly aggressive with QPF in our area during this
time and also quite a bit slower than the GFS. I weighted the
forecast more to the ECMWF/CMC during this time, keeping fairly
high PoPs through Friday night, as the fast progression of the
GFS seems suspicious given the strength of downstream ridging
(Additionally, ensembles seem to provide support for a slower
solution). Will also need to monitor potential for secondary low
development along the Mid-Atlantic coast Friday night and
Saturday given a favorable-looking upper-level pattern. There
are at least hints of this in the depicted mean sea-level
pressure fields in the GFS/ECMWF/CMC, and there is a distinct
secondary QPF maximum along the coast in both the CMC/GFS.

The low(s) should progress northeastward on Saturday, leaving
our region in the breezy northwest-flow wake. Though it will be
cooler, the origins of the system are warm (i.e., southern
stream), so it will be by no means as cold as it could be. In
fact, temperatures may remain near or slightly above seasonal
to close out the weekend as high pressure builds northeastward
into the Northeast.

Models remain in decent agreement into early next week,
indicating that as the surface high slides off to the northeast,
a weak surface trough (developing warm front) will lift north
into the region, producing a period of showers. Increased PoPs
by early next week and started to warm temperatures by this time
as well.

.AVIATION /14Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.

Today...VFR with a few clouds, but mainly clear. Northwest wind
around 10 knots, with gusts 15-20 knots in the afternoon.

Tonight...VFR. Westerly winds diminishing to 5 knots, then
becoming light and variable to calm.

Outlook...

Wednesday...VFR with winds becoming south or southwest 5 to 15
kts. High confidence.

Wednesday night and Thursday...Generally VFR, but increasing
chances of showers north/west of PHL with potential for some
periods of sub-VFR in their proximity. Winds generally southwest
5 to 15 kts, perhaps with a few gusts during the day Thursday,
especially near the coast. Moderate confidence.

Thursday night and Friday...Periods of sub-VFR likely with a
good chance of rain/showers. Winds generally southwest 5 to 15
kts, likely stronger near the coast. Some gusts to 20+ kts
possible. Moderate confidence.

Friday night...Lingering sub-VFR possible as showers may persist
into the evening/overnight before a cold front sweeps through
the region. Winds becoming northwest after cold-frontal passage.
Speeds generally 10 kts or lower, but may gust near and just
after frontal passage. Low confidence.

Saturday...Conditions are expected to improve to VFR with
northwest winds 10 to 15 kts with higher gusts. Moderate
confidence.

&&

.MARINE...
The remaining SCA flag for the ocean was taken down since winds
and seas continue to diminish. A few gusts in the 20 to 25 knot
range may occur through noon however.  The general trend has
been and will continue to be for NW winds to gradually diminish.
Conditions are then expected to stay below SCA levels for all
zones through tonight.

Outlook...

Wednesday and Thursday...Advisory-level winds/seas likely as
southwest winds develop and seas build in advance of a system
approaching the area late this week.

Thursday night and Friday...At least advisory-level winds
expected, and some models are depicting low-end gale-force winds
Thursday night. However, given the warming low levels during
this period, not completely sold on this potential yet. Seas
should remain quite elevated. Increasing chances for
showers/storms.

Friday night and Saturday...Advisory-level seas probable and
winds possible as directions switch to northwest after cold-
frontal passage Friday night and Saturday morning. Winds will
likely increase and be highest just after frontal passage.
