What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this small craft advisory 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 small craft advisory went out at Oct 21, 1:17 AM EDT, 2 hours 21 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 21, 1:17 AM EDT, 2 hours 21 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
117 AM EDT Wed Oct 21 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A series of low pressure systems will move north through the
Great Lakes through this week helping keep a front mainly to our
north and west through this period. The front may then finally
move through the region later this weekend with additional low
pressure systems possibly moving north along it next week as it
sets up over the east coast.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
The dense fog advisory has been expanded to include northeastern
MD, most of NJ (with the exception of the far NW), and much of
SE PA (with the exception of Berks, Lehigh Valley, and the
southern Poconos).

Fog continues to expand, therefore, expanded the dense fog
advisory to include most of the area. Will continue to monitor
observations overnight to see if it will need to be expanded or
extended further. Interestingly, both low stratus and drizzle
have not developed or been as widespread as previously expected,
suggesting that the dry layer is deeper (and the nearly
saturated layer is shallower) than what models suggest.

For today, winds should settle out of the southwest by mid
morning as the surface ridge axis shifts slightly east. This
should help fog to dissipate through the mid to late morning. At
least some guidance, namely the GFS, shows some QPF this
morning, but I suspect that is an artifact of it depicting the
nearly saturated layer to be deeper than previously expected, so
have kept the forecast dry for now.

As for temperatures, the southwesterly flow will help the
warming trend continue, with most of the region getting into the
70s, and the Coastal Plains could get into the upper 70s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...

What remains of the front could skirt our region tonight, but
should not have any discernible impacts on our weather as it
should be mostly dissipated tonight. There is potential for
another round of fog tonight, but it is less certain tonight as
southwesterly winds aren't as favorable a direction for fog
development as the southeasterly winds we currently have.
Consequently, I haven't included a mention of fog in the
forecast yet, but if the winds are light enough, patchy
radiation fog is possible.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Thursday through Friday...

The aformentioned low will move northeast through Ontario and
Quebec Thursday night through Friday while high pressure
retreats from Quebec eastward into Atlantic Canada. Surface
ridging from this high will extend southwest towards the mid
Atlantic. Little overall change through period as low clouds
will once again be likely Thursday night and may hang a bit
longer Friday as compared to Thursday. There could once again be
some overnight / early morning mist, drizzle and fog but
otherwise no significant precip expected.

Friday night through Tuesday...

In the big picture, the pattern finally starts to shift through
this period as the front to our north/west looks to eventually
move east by later this weekend. The relatively quiet weather
continues into early Saturday before the front finally
approaches later Saturday bringing a chance of showers arriving
from west to east late Saturday into Saturday night. Beyond this
time the forecast grows increasingly uncertain as there are
differences between the forecast models and from one model run
to the next. But in the big picture, the baroclinic zone looks
to set up along the east coast through early to mid next week
as the front washes out or stalls over the area. Additional
waves look to move north along it bringing chances for
showers/rain most days as the pattern becomes more active and
wetter.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.

Through 12Z...Most TAF sites are in LIFR conditions already due
to visibility restrictions in fog. KRDG and KABE have stayed in
the MVFR or VFR range so far, but expect fog and IFR visibility
restrictions to eventually expand here. Light winds (less than 5
kt), could be variable at times, but should mostly favor
southeasterly. High confidence.

Today...LIFR/IFR conditions due to fog initially should
gradually improve to MVFR ceilings and then to VFR conditions
in the 16-20z time frame. Winds are expected to settle out of
the southwest at less than 10 knots. Moderate confidence on the
overall pattern, but low confidence on timing details.

Tonight...Mostly VFR conditions are expected. There is a chance
for MVFR visibility restrictions in BR, especially for more
rural TAF sites, but confidence in this is low, so have not
included it in the TAFs yet. Light (less than 10 kt)
southwesterly winds.

Outlook...
Thursday...low stratus /mist/fog possible in the morning.
Improving conditions to VFR expected by late morning or early
afternoon. Light and variable winds, favoring the east by late
in the day, less than 10 knots. Moderate confidence.

Friday...Fog or low clouds likely in the morning, possibly hanging
around into the afternoon. Improving conditions to VFR possible by
the afternoon. East to southeast winds less than 10 knots. Moderate
confidence.

Saturday...MVFR or lower conditions in showers possible late day as
a cold front crosses the terminals. Southerly winds veering to
the west and then northwest through the day. Speeds less than 10
knots. Low confidence.

Sunday...MVFR conditions could persist as the cold front may
stall near the region. NE winds 5-10 knots. Low confidence.

&&

.MARINE...
The conditions are expected to remain below Small Craft
Advisory criteria through tonight.

Fog (and some drizzle) has developed and is expected to persist
through at least mid morning on Wednesday. Will continue to
monitor obs to see if it needs to be extended later into the day
on Wednesday.

Outlook...
Thursday through Saturday...A small Craft Advisory will likely
be need from late Thursday through the weekend. Seas begin to
build and should reach 5 feet around Thursday afternoon. Seas
will continue to build through Friday and Saturday to 6 to 8
feet and remain elevated through the weekend. The winds should
remain below 25 knots through this period.
