Friday as low pressure develops over the Ohio and Tennessee
Valleys. As this low lifts to the northeast and into eastern
Canada, another low forms over the region Friday night through
Saturday. These two systems will merge over New England on
Sunday, and gradually moves out to sea on Monday. High pressure
returns for the mid-week period. Low pressure may affect the
region late next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
12:30 AM Update: Adjusted temps and dew points to match current
observations. Cirrus will continue to build across the region
with cool conditions into the afternoon.

Previous discussion...
High pressure remains across the area today, keeping dry, quiet
weather in the forecast. The only weather to speak of today
will be periods of cirrus clouds through the day. With high
pressure across the area, winds will be fairly light.
Temperatures today will begin warming above normal as
thicknesses increase.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/...
The high pressure will begin to weaken and retreat to the
northeast tonight. The forecast remains dry, however, cloud
cover will be on the increase in advance of an approaching storm
system as a couple of short wave moves across the area.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
High pressure over eastern Canada noses southward and keeps the
region dry as low pressure develops and intensifies over the
Ohio and Tennessee Valleys. Conditions will be dry, but mid and
high clouds associated with that storm will lift into the region
throughout the day. Turning warmer with highs mainly in the
40s, but possibly into the low 50s in southern New Jersey and
Delmarva.

Low pressure over the Ohio Valley lifts to the north and into
the eastern Great Lakes Friday night and Saturday. Meanwhile,
several strong shortwaves rotating around a closed H5 low will
move into the Mid-Atlantic, and a secondary low forms over
Virginia and lifts towards the Delmarva Peninsula Friday night.
Precip moves in from the west, mainly after midnight, and
spreads east through the overnight hours.

For the vast majority of the region, precip will be rain.
However, some colder surface air works its way into the southern
Poconos, northern New Jersey, and into the Lehigh Valley late
Friday night and into Saturday morning. Temperatures drop to
freezing in these areas, and rain will change to sleet and
freezing rain in the pre-dawn hours of Saturday morning, and
freezing rain continues through saturday morning. With the track
of the secondary low going from eastern Maryland and southeast
Pennsylvania, and then into northern New Jersey during the day
Saturday, WAA spreads north through the region. By Saturday
afternoon, surface temperatures should rise above freezing in
the far northern zones, and freezing rain will change over to
plain rain. As much as 1/4 inch ice is possible, mainly in the
southern Poconos, and several hundredths of an inch down into
the Lehigh Valley.

PWATs rise to around 1 inch, which, for late January, is quite
high and rain could be heavy at times Saturday afternoon. In
addition, MU CAPE values will be around 100 J/kg, so there could
even be a rumble of thunder.

The secondary low merges with the primary low over northern New
York and northern New England, Saturday night, and strengthens
on Sunday before finally moving out to sea on Monday.

Precip tapers off from south to north Saturday night, but
precip continues across the southern Poconos, northern New
Jersey, and Lehigh Valley. Cold air wraps around behind the
departing low, and precip mixes with and changes to snow before
tapering off by Sunday morning.

Several waves of wrap-around precip will continue through
Sunday before ending Sunday night. Should be mostly snow with
light snowfall amounts.

High pressure then builds in from the west on Monday and slowly
builds east through the week. Dry weather on tap for region with
temperatures slightly above seasonal norms.
