Special Marine Warning 60, NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
352 PM EDT Tue Jul 17 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong cold front will cross our area tonight. High pressure from
the Great Lakes will follow for Wednesday and remain over our area
into Friday night. A broad, slow moving upper level low will move
into the east this weekend and affect our weather through early next
week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Showers and thunderstorms will end from NW to SE
overnight. Be aware of thunderstorms with strong gusty winds and
localized flooding through the early evening. The flash flood watch
will continue into the evening with the activity already occurring
across the area and warnings already in place. The front will cross
the NW zones early this evening and then rapidly advance to the
shore by midnight. Lows will reach the upper 50s/low 60s across the
north and remain closer to 70 over Delmarva and south NJ. The dry
air will overspread the N/W areas tonight, but likely not move much
into the S/E areas until closer to dawn. Winds will become northwest
after the frontal passage.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
The front will be well offshore Wednesday morning and
with high pressure beginning to build in, a fair weather day is
expected. The new airmass will be much drier so even though
temperatures will still be very warm, it will be much more comfort
able. Highs will be in the mid/upper 80s in most areas.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Wednesday thru Friday... High pressure will be across the Great
Lakes Wednesday and build across the Mid-Atlantic Thursday before
moving offshore Friday. The high will bring mostly sunny skies along
with seasonable temperatures. No precipitation expected.

For the period, normal temperatures for PHL are in the mid 80s and
around 70 for lows. For MPO, normal highs are in the upper 70s with
lows in the upper 50s. For Wednesday, temperatures will be near
normal, and below normal for Thursday and Friday.

Next weekend through Tuesday...Turning unsettled with an
unseasonably strong upper level trough moving towards the region. A
deep south to southwest flow aloft will become established and
abundant moisture from the south will arrive across the region.
There are however some differences in the models regarding how
quickly the moisture and resulting showers/storms affect the area
with the ECMWF keeping things dry here through Saturday and the GFS
not showing much precip either. For this reason, keeping only low
chances for showers/storms Saturday as the day could end up being
mostly dry. However, by Sunday into Tuesday, widespread showers and
thunderstorms will become more likely. Temperatures are expected to
be at or below normal. Significant heat is not expected with the mid-
level ridge well established on the west coast. Latest GFS runs have
suggested a coastal low may form and move northward along the New
Jersey Shore Saturday night into Sunday, though confidence is low at
this point as previous runs were not as suggestive.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.

Tonight...Local MVFR/IFR with showers and tstms across the TAF sites
this evening and then improvement to VFR later tonight. Winds will
be mostly S to SW ahead of the front and then shift to NW behind it.
Skies will become clear to partly cloudy late tonight.

Wednesday...VFR conditions expected with mostly sunny skies. Winds
will be mostly N to NW around 10 knots.

Outlook...

Wednesday night through Friday...VFR expected.

Friday night and Saturday...Mainly VFR. A few showers and
thunderstorms possible.

Saturday night and Sunday...Showers and thunderstorms becoming more
widespread...leading to greater chances of MVFR.

&&

.MARINE...
We'll continue with the SCA flag for the northern two
coastal NJ zones. It appears, that perhaps a few hours of SCA
conditions may occur this evening. I haven't really seen much in the
way of SCA conditions as of yet. Most importantly, thunderstorms with
lightning and locally gusty winds will overspread the waters this
evening and early overnight.  Fair weather late tonight and
Wednesday.

Outlook...

Wednesday night thru Friday...Sub-SCA with fair weather.

Friday night thru Saturday...Scattered showers and tstms
possible with seas potentially building to SCA levels.

Saturday night and Sunday...Showers and thunderstorms becoming more
numerous. SCAs possible.
