Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
1236 PM EST Tue Jan 22 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Arctic high pressure across the Mid-Atlantic region will move
offshore by tonight. Low pressure will move into the Great Lakes
region Wednesday and then down the Saint Lawrence Valley
Thursday. Its associated fronts will cross the area tonight and
Thursday. High pressure will return for Friday and Saturday. A
cold front will cross the area Sunday. Next week, a coastal
system may affect the area later Monday and Tuesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
The center of strong arctic high pressure is over the Mid-Atlantic
region at midday, however it will be shifting eastward through
the afternoon. This has allowed the pressure gradient to relax
quite a bit, resulting in much less wind. Plenty of sunshine
will give way to some high clouds by later this afternoon.

While it will still be cold today, it will not be as harsh as
yesterday due to much less wind and some warm air advection
occurring. For the 1230 PM update, no significant changes were
needed as the forecast is in good shape. Just tweaked the hourly
grids over the next few hours to keep them current with the
latest observations and trends.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM WEDNESDAY/...
The surface high will move offshore tonight, with a midlevel ridge
axis moving through the region during the overnight hours. A potent
vort max will be be moving through the central plains, with several
smaller perturbations ejecting from the main trough into the Ohio
Valley and downstream. Warm advection will increase overnight, which
will act to continue the increasing cloudiness and to stunt diurnal
cooling, particularly overnight as the cloud cover begins to
thicken/lower and surface winds become predominantly southerly.

However, the temperature forecast is quite tricky tonight, because
winds will be light during the evening, and cloud cover may be too
thin and too high to prevent a sharp nocturnal drop during the
evening. Consider the MOS guidance for Millville:  13 from the MAV,
17 from the MET, and 24 from the ECS. Results will be highly
sensitive to the above-mentioned factors, with locally large errors
probable as meso- to microscale effects combat the larger-scale
evolution. In general, went on the cold side of guidance and
especially so in the susceptible Pine Barrens and valley locations
northwest of Philadelphia. Confidence is rather low, since the
timing of increased cloud cover is quite uncertain. Forecast lows
are generally in the teens outside of the urban corridor and the
immediate coast, with temperatures around 20 or even in the lower
20s in Delmarva.

Precipitation associated with the central U.S. trough and ejecting
perturbations should remain well north and west of the area through
the night.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
On Wednesday, the next storm will be moving into the area. The
recent trends are pointing a slower moving system, so the pops have
been lowered in Wed somewhat. The warming trend will have more time
to take hold, so the threat for significant amounts of sleet or
freezing rain seem to be lessening with time. Still, we do have
marginal temperatures Wed morning across the southern Poconos and
adjacent areas S of that. For that reason, we have not eliminated
the chc for some sleet and freezing rain from the grids yet.
Elsewhere, pops steadily increase thru the day with occasional rain
Wed afternoon and into Thu. Precipitation totals will be 1 to 2
inches across the region.

High pressure will build back across the area late Fri and into
Saturday, so a dry fcst is continued. It will get cold again Fri/Sat
with readings below normal, but not the arctic chill of the past few
days. Highs Fri/Sat in the upper 20s to low 30s across the Delaware
Valley and some 5 to 10 degrees cooler across the southern Poconos
and north NJ.

Model agreement begins to become a factor later this weekend with
some indicating a cold front and some showers Sunday and other not.
We have just continued with chc pops for the northern areas for now
and kept slgt chc pops elsewhere. Temperatures will favor snow N/W
and rain across the Delaware Valley and S/E.

Next week, the operational models become all over the place with
regards to various systems affecting the region. The 00Z CMC was
trending like the 12Z EC with a coastal system coming near our
waters next Tue, but then the 00Z EC came in without this low.
The GFS has a front crossing the area next Tue with a weak wave
forming SW of our area then moving thru Tue night with (probably)
snow. The EC and CMC don't have this at all. So the rather high
amounts of uncertainty will lead me to keep some slgt chc pops
for the Mon/Tue periods for now. Temperatures should remain a
few degrees below normal.

&&

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

This afternoon...VFR. Northwest winds around 5 knots, becoming light
and variable at most terminals.

Tonight...VFR with increasing high level clouds. Winds light and
variable to locally light southerly.

Wednesday...VFR ceilings lower to MVFR after about 15z at ABE and
RDG, then after about 21z at TTN, PHL/PNE and ILG (should remain VFR
at MIV and ACY). Some rain should develop in the afternoon mainly at
ABE and RDG where visibilities may lower to MVFR at times. Light and
variable winds, becoming south or southwest around 10 knots.
Southwesterly low-level wind shear at 2000 feet of around 40 knots
may start to overspread the area after 21z. Low confidence regarding
the arrival of the MVFR conditions.

Outlook...
Wednesday night thru Thursday...Lower CIGS and VSBYS with rain
and fog. IFR/LIFR possible. Gusty winds and LLWS possible into
Thursday morning.

Thursday night...Improving conditions. Few showers psbl. Patchy
fog.

Friday thru Saturday...Mostly VFR expected.

&&

.MARINE...
The conditions are below Small Craft Advisory criteria and
tonight, however a southerly wind will start increasing later
tonight. Some light freezing spray is hanging on at midday,
however this will continue to subside given the weakening winds.

The low tide during this afternoon looks as if the combination
of slackening winds will prevent a third round of widespread
blowouts. We will continue to monitor.

Outlook...
Wed thru Thu...SCA conditions expected. Rain and fog.

Thu night thru Fri night...SCA expected on the ocean and mostly
Sub-SCA on Delaware Bay. Fair.

Sat/Sat night...Sub-SCA. Fair.
