Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
602 PM EDT Fri Jul 3 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A backdoor cold front will move across the area this evening
and overnight, then push to our south through Saturday. Another
backdoor front may move into the area Sunday into Monday, before
lifting back northward into Tuesday. A very warm and humid week
is expected next week as a southerly flow develops, although
there is the potential for a coastal low along the east coast
late next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
Evening Update...

Updated the grids a little early this evening to reflect ongoing
radar and other observational trends. Increased PoPs across much of
the north as satellite and radar show multiple complexes of
thunderstorms approaching the area. CAM guidance has been
essentially useless on this activity, particularly the complex over
eastern Pennsylvania, so am mainly just going by latest trends in
the obs at this point. See no obvious reason for this activity to
fall apart in the next hour or two. We really mixed out today in
terms of dew points towards the urban corridor, which is limiting
instability there. So tend to think activity will weaken, though
perhaps not altogether dissipate, as it approaches the PHL metro
later on, especially as daytime heating is lost. Also watching
storms moving down from the north out of New York, towards northern
NJ. A little more of a signal for this in the CAM guidance and
expect it will continue to drop down into the northern zones through
the evening before starting to weaken as daytime heating is lost.
Given upstream trends some storms could be strong to severe in the
northern and western zones the next few hours, with a primary threat
of damaging winds.

Otherwise, updated temps/dew points to reflect latest trends, mainly
bumping the temps up the next couple hours to reflect what remains a
very hot early evening across the area. Previous discussion
follows...

Hot day in progress with moderate amounts of humidity.
Scattered showers across the northern areas earlier have dried
up recently. More showers/tstms across the N will probably
drop/develop southward into our nrn counties by the evening and
then scatter around most areas before decreasing after sunset.
Locally heavy rains and some gusty winds are possible. Lows
tonight will only drop into the 70s for metro Philadelphia and
Delmarva. Other areas will fall into the mid/upper 60s. Winds
will become N to NE overnight. Patchy fog may develop in a few
areas where evening rains fall.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
Following the weak front that crosses the area Friday night,
drier and slightly cooler air will be across the area Saturday.
This will probably be the most comfortable day of the next
several with highs expected to remain in the 80s and dew points
mostly in the 60s, so overall conditions will not be that
oppressive. A minor vort max will drop south from nrn PA/srn NY
during the afternoon. It's possible that a couple sct showers
could develop, so we'll just keep the (mostly) slight chc pops
in the afternoon fcst for now.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
The long term period is forecast to be quite warm, with
building humidity each day. Each day through the extended is
forecast to be above normal. There is also a chance of rain each
day, but it will not be a washout by any means.

On Sunday, the warm up beings again as the first backdoor front
will be well to our south, before another approaches from the
north. There is not much moisture forecast, nor any strong short
wave/vorticity impulses expected, so Sunday is expected to be
precipitation free.

By Monday, a second backdoor front approaches from the north, while
moisture increases, along with a couple of short waves/vorticity
impulses that may clip our northern areas. This could lead to a few
scattered or isolated showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon.

By Tuesday, the backdoor front will move well to our north, and
steady return flow will develop for Tuesday through at least
Wednesday. This will keep warm temperatures across the area, but
also lead to increasing humidity. Multiple short
waves/vorticity impulses will move across the area for Tuesday-
Wednesday, and will combine with an increase in moisture and
lead to higher chances of showers and thunderstorms.

Questions return for the end of the week however. The ECMWF and
Canadian show a coastal low moving northward along the east
coast, while the GFS dissipates the low across the southeast
states, but does push moisture across the Mid-Atlantic states.
There will continue to be an enhanced chance for rain for
Thursday through Friday.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
.Tonight...VFR early with sct showers and a few tstms. VCTS/VCSH in
the TAFS presently to account for the activity. AMDS expected
if/when tstms threaten a TAF site. Winds mostly NW to N into the
evening. Later tonight, low clouds will develop/arrive with mostly
MVFR CIGS expected. Medium confid.

.Saturday...MVFR early then slowly diminishing CIGS with VFR in most
areas (except coastal areas) by noon. NE to E winds 5 to 10 knots
mostly. Medium confid.

Outlook...

Saturday night-Sunday night...Generally VFR expected.

Monday-Wednesday...Mostly VFR. A chance of showers and
thunderstorms each afternoon and evening which may temporarily
lead to lower conditions.

&&

.MARINE...
Winds and seas will remain below SCA conditions tonight and
Saturday. The only weather hazard would be any scattered
thunderstorm that develops or moves across the area. Winds and
seas will be higher in any tstm. The activity is expected to be
sct at best late this afternoon and early tonight. Winds will
turn onshore tonight and remain E or NE into Saturday.

OUTLOOK...

Saturday night-Wednesday...Conditions expected to remain below
advisory levels through the period, although winds could gust around
20 knots at times. There is a chance of showers and
thunderstorms during the late afternoon and evening Monday-
Wednesday.

Rip currents...

Today... Low
Tomorrow...Low to moderate.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Astronomical high tide levels will continue to rise as there
will be a full moon this weekend. The evening high tides are
over a foot higher than those in the morning.

Have issued a coastal flood advisory for the Atlantic coast and
the Delaware Bay as the latest guidance suggests water levels
will just barely get to advisory levels with this evening's high
tide. The wind has not yet shifted to onshore, but should
within the next few hours.

Continued northeasterly and easterly flow could result in
additional coastal flooding with the high tide cycles Saturday
and Sunday evening in the same areas, though confidence is low
at this time, so will hold off on extending the advisory for
now.

For tidal portions of the Delaware River, at this point it
looks like water levels will stay below advisory criteria, but
will monitor the levels in the Delaware Bay closely this evening
to see if it needs to be expanded.

Tidal flooding is not expected on the upper eastern shore of
Chesapeake Bay.
