Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
316 PM EST Mon Jan 28 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Weak high pressure will move offshore tonight. Low pressure will
move across the lower Great Lakes and into Canada Tuesday through
Wednesday. A cold front will cross the area Tuesday night followed
by another Wednesday afternoon. Arctic high pressure will follow for
Thursday and into Friday. A warm front will affect the Delmarva area
Friday. More high pressure will build in for the weekend. Another
disturbance may arrive early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
Overnight our area will be sandwiched between the ridge shifting
east and the next cold front due to arrive Tuesday evening. For the
most part, expect precipitation associated with the next system to
remain west of our region overnight, except from the Lehigh Valley
further west where initial rounds of snow could arrive in the pre
dawn hours.

Thanks to increasing clouds, expect temperatures to stay a few
degrees above the Monday morning lows, just slightly above
normal.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
What has changed: confidence is increasing as we get closer to the
event, so have converted the winter storm watch for the southern
Poconos to a winter storm warning, and have issued a winter weather
advisory for areas mostly along and northwest of I-95. Minor
adjustments were made to the snow amount forecast.

Thanks to the approaching cold front and a low developing along the
cold front and lifting northeast, expect a quick, but impactful
precipitation event Tuesday into Tuesday evening. As for the
individual elements of this event:

Timing: Not much change with the timing of the system. An initial
round of precipitation is expected in the morning. The main
precipitation event will likely be Tuesday afternoon into early
evening as the main area of frontogenesis will be over our region at
that time. Precipitation looks to move out quickly once the cold
front arrives Tuesday evening.

Precipitation types: This event looks to be mostly a rain or snow
event. Some models have a warm layer (most notably the NAM), but it
doesn't appear to be deep enough or warm enough to result in
significant melting of ice crystals, except in areas where
temperatures are high enough to support all rain anyway. Most of the
12Z guidance did come in slightly colder, so expanded the areas that
will see all snow further southeast, including the entire Lehigh
Valley, Berks County, and western Chester County. For the I95
corridor, expect a prolonged period of rain/snow mix, and possibly a
brief period tomorrow afternoon of all rain. For the coastal plains
of NJ and Delmarva, expect primarily rain with a brief period of a
rain/snow mix possible Tuesday evening.

Snow Amounts: As mentioned above, much of the 12Z guidance came in
colder, but it was balanced with a drier trend. Thus, snow amounts
didn't change significantly. 6 to 8 inches is possible across the
southern Poconos, 3 to 6 inches is possible for the far western
suburbs, NW NJ, Lehigh Valley, and Berks County. Up to 3 inches is
possible across the I95 corridor. Generally less than one inch is
expected over the Coastal Plains.

Temperatures: temperatures will be dropping Tuesday night behind the
cold front, but the arctic front, which will have the much
advertised bitter cold, is not expected to arrive until during the
day on Wednesday, so lows Tuesday night will likely range from the
single digits in the southern Poconos to lower 20s along and
southeast of the 95 corridor.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
The arctic air arrives across the region Wed. A secondary cold front
attached to the low across Canada will swing thru during the
afternoon. Gusty winds are expected with and behind the front as the
deeper colder air pours across our area. Temperatures will drop some
5 to 10 degrees within a few hours after fropa. Yesterday, the
models were suggesting frequent snow showers across the entire
region with the front, but they seemed to have drier out somewhat,
so only widely scattered snow showers mainly across the N/W areas
are now expected. We have chc pops across the N and slgt chc pops
over Delmarva and srn NJ. Winds will probably gust between 30 and 40
mph thru the afternoon and into the evening. Localized tree/power
line issues are possible. Winds lesses overnight as the pressure
gradient begins to slacken. Lows by Thu morning will be 0 to -10 NW
and single digits (above zero) over Delmarva, metro Philly and srn
NJ. Winds chills will be 10 to 15 degrees lower than the temps.

Thursday...Fair weather with the coldest of the airmass settling
across the region. Highs only in the single digits (above zero)
N/W with teens across the Delaware Valley and low 20s over srn Delmarva.
Wind chills will be dangerously cold with WC flags possible.

Friday...Warm air advection begins as the arctic air moves away.
Clouds will increase over the area with an approaching warm
front and some light will develop across Delmarva and into SE
PA. Chc pops for the light snow over the srn regions and slgt
chc pops elsewhere. No accums are anticipated attm.

Saturday/Sunday...Fair weather expected Saturday with high pressure
building across the region. Temperatures will remain below normal,
but then readings will become a little above normal Sunday as the
high moves away. Another disturbance is slated to arrive early
next week. We just have some small chance pops in the fcst for
this presently.

&&

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

Tonight...VFR conditions are expected for most if not all of the
overnight hours. Ceilings will gradually lower late tonight as the
next system approaches the region, but are expected to stay just
above MVFR criteria. Winds will begin light and variable, settling
out of the southeast by sunrise.

Tuesday...Conditions are expected to deteriorate to MVFR and
possibly even IFR as precipitation moves in. Expect most of the TAF
sites to see a rain/snow mix or all rain through the day time hours.
Winds will be southerly increasing to 10 to 15 kt by the
afternoon.

Outlook...

Tuesday night...MVFR and localized IFR conditions continue into the
evening hours, but conditions should improve quickly to VFR behind a
cold front which will also bring an abrupt shift to west northwesterly
winds at 10 to 20 kt.

Wednesday...VFR with gusty winds developing. A few snow squalls with
lower vsbys possible after 18Z KRDG/KABE.

Wed night/Thursday...VFR. Very cold. Gusty winds.

Thursday night...VFR.

Friday/Fri night...Increasing clouds with -sn possible and MVFR
possible across Delmarva maybe KPHL. Low confid.

Saturday...VFR expected.

&&

.MARINE...
Winds and seas should stay below Small Craft Advisory criteria
tonight. Starting Tuesday morning, winds and seas on the ocean
waters are expected to reach SCA criteria.

Tuesday evening, we are expecting an abrupt shift to west
northwesterly winds behind a cold front, with winds increasing
quickly as well. Winds could get to gale force, so have issued a
gale watch beginning Tuesday night.

Outlook...

Wed/Wed night...Gales continue into Wed evening before diminishing
back to SCA conditions. Fair. Freezing spray.

Thu/Thu night...SCA expected. Fair. Freezing spray.

Fri thru Sat...Sub-SCA. Light snow possible Fri otherwise Fair.
