The local office's own words before this special weather statement went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly wrote its last area forecast discussion before this special weather statement went out at Jun 29, 9:39 PM EDT, 46 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 29, 9:39 PM EDT, 46 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 939 PM EDT Sat Jun 29 2019 .SYNOPSIS... Low pressure tracking to our north will pull a strong cold front across our area tonight with a secondary cold front moving through during the day on Sunday. High pressure will build in for Monday. A weak disturbance and associated cold front will then move through Tuesday before stalling just to our south Wednesday into Thursday. The front may potentially lift back to our north as a warm front on Friday. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/... 930 pm update: Significant severe-weather event is coming to a close across the area. Unfortunately, numerous instances of wind damage and hail up to quarter size have been reported across the area this afternoon/evening. Some areas appear to have been particularly hard hit, especially Chester/Montgomery Counties in Pennsylvania eastward to Burlington County in New Jersey. Severe thunderstorm watch has been allowed to expire. However, cannot rule out a rogue shower/storm through the overnight hours, especially west of the Delaware River. Have modified PoPs/Wx grids to account for this threat. Made significant changes to temperatures/dew points as well, given aftereffects of rain-cooled air. Previous discussion... A closed low will move into the Northeast U.S. overnight tonight. At the same time, surface low pressure will be exiting New England as its cold front settles south. This front will probably clear much of our area by daybreak Sunday. Thunderstorms should settle south and east of our area by late evening. The leading edge of more pronounced height falls arriving later this evening into the overnight may result in some redevelopment of showers or thunder behind the main line. A wind shift to the west and northwest will occur behind the cold front. However the surface flow should go light and much of the area will continue to see dewpoints in the middle to upper 60s. This will result in a muggy night. Patchy fog cannot be ruled out. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/... As the mid-lvl trough axis passes just north of the area Sunday, there will be another chance of showers and thunderstorms, especially PA Turnpike/I-195 north. Despite increasing mid-lvl lapse rates as the mid-lvl cold pool passes overhead, don't think these storms will be particularly strong as the low-lvls will be drier than Saturday. High temperatures will generally be in the 80s with breezy northwest winds. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... Synoptic Overview: The extended period begins with a mid-lvl closed low diving southeastward through the area which kick off a second round of cold advection (mostly aloft). Upstream of this feature a SW-NE oriented ridge will prevail over the Central US, with an inverted trough residing south of the ridge over Texas. The central-US ridge axis relocates southeastward Monday into Tuesday, eventually centering itself over the southeastern US as broad troughing develops over the Western US. Various shortwaves moving over-top the eastern US ridge will likely impact the area starting Tuesday morning, with the flow generally becoming more zonal as the ridge axis flattens. A stalled boundary looks to set up near the area by the middle of next week with various convectively-enhanced shortwaves likely sparking diurnal convection over our area. Dailies: Monday...High pressure briefly builds in SW of the area on Monday resulting in a quiet day. High temperatures will likely be similar to Sunday, with lighter winds and less clouds. Monday night/Tuesday...A shortwave will pass through the area Monday night into early Tuesday morning with a brief round of showers (and possibly a few thunderstorms) possible. Diurnal timing does not favor particularly strong storms and the system should be progressive with precipitation largely out of the area by Tuesday afternoon. Highs will be about 5 degrees warmer than Monday with a weak cold front pushing through later in the day. Wednesday-Saturday...Wednesday will likely be dry and warm for most places, although there may be a chance of storms late in the day over Delmarva. Moisture will increase Thursday and this moisture combined with convectively-enhanced mid-lvl waves, and a nearby boundary will likely result in (at least) scattered convection Thursday/Friday (and potentially into the weekend). It looks like it will be fairly muggy with dewpoints around 70s and highs in the upper 80s to low 90s Thursday/Friday. && .AVIATION /02Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas. Tonight...Showers and thunderstorms this evening, especially from the PHL area south and east with MVFR/IFR conditions for a time. After this evening, local MVFR visibility cannot be ruled out for a time due to fog. Otherwise, VFR conditions expected. West winds diminishing to near 5 knots, then becoming northwest or even locally light and variable. Sunday...Mainly VFR with periods of mid-lvl (4-5k ft.) cloud cover. NW increasing to around 15 kts, with gusts 20-30kts. Outlook... Sunday night...VFR with N/NW winds diminishing to 5-10 knots or less. Monday...VFR with light winds around 5 knots or less. Monday night - Tuesday...Mainly VFR. A shower or thunderstorm possible Monday night into Tuesday morning. West winds 5-10 knots becoming NW Tuesday. Tuesday night - Wednesday...Mainly VFR with light winds. && .MARINE... Tonight...Conditions are expected to remain below Small Craft Advisory criteria. Southwesterly winds will diminish some tonight and become west to west-northwest. Some thunderstorms this evening may produce local wind gusts of 34 knots or higher. Sunday...SCA conditions will be approached. Winds near the shore may gust near 20-25kts Sunday afternoon. Outlook... Sunday night...SCA conditions will be approached. Winds near the shore may gust near 20-25kts Sunday evening. Monday through Wednesday...Sub-SCA conditions expected with 3-4 seas Monday decreasing to 2-3 ft for Wednesday. Rip Currents... There is a low risk for the development of dangerous rip currents on Sunday with offshore winds and waves (6-9 second period) in the surf zone around 2 feet. && .PHI WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
