Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
405 PM EDT Sat Jun 27 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will move across the area on Sunday, then slowly push
to our south. A mid level low will remain in place for the first
half of next week, before a backdoor cold front approaches from the
north late in the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
Tricky forecast as of mid afternoon. An upper level disturbance
is moving through with an associated surface trough of low
pressure over NE PA into northern NJ. Storms have developed and
moved into parts of NE PA through the Lehigh Valley in
association with these features. The best instability is just
south of here with ML CAPEs upwards of 1000 j/kg over eastern
PA. And with this in mind, after coordinating with the SPC a
Severe Thunderstorm Watch is now in effect until 8 PM that
basically covers eastern PA and central into southern NJ
basically from near the I-78 corridor southward (Berks through
Montgomery, Bucks Counties through Hunterdon and Somerset
Counties in NJ south). Excluded from the Watch is Delmarva and
far southern NJ near the Delaware Bay and Cape May. Main threat
looks to be damaging straight line winds though given good low
level shear and SRH values, we still can't rule out isolated
tornadoes. Also, given intense rain rates observed, localized
flooding will also be possible.

This initial round of storms looks to diminish into early this
evening but there are additional showers/storms over SW PA into Ohio
that may affect the area this evening as these move east but should
weaken. Some of these showers could even linger into the overnight
period. It will be a mild, muggy night with lows mostly in the upper
60s to low 70s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
An upper level low along with a broad surface low will be located
over southern Quebec into New England and NY State to start the day.
A cold front will extend SW from this feature over the lower Great
Lakes. Going through the day, the approach of this cold front
working in tandem with a shortwave pivoting S/E along with
daytime heating will result in more scattered showers/storms
developing by the afternoon. The deep layer shear looks only
marginal compared to today (20-25 knots) but ML CAPEs look to
reach 1000-1500+ j/kg. Also, there looks to be a fair amount of
drier air coming into the mid levels which complicates the
forecast a bit. This may tend to limit storm development and
make it more scattered but could also aid in the development of
strong downdrafts. So this said, the potential for some severe
storms exists with the main threat again being damaging winds.
Best chances for showers/storms look to be for northern zones
with the activity being more scattered to isolated farther south
heading into the Delmarva. It will be another very warm to hot
muggy day with highs mostly in the 80s to around 90.

Showers/storms diminish through Sunday evening with the passage of
the cold front. This will start to bring in somewhat drier air by
later Sunday night.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
The forecast for long term period will be dominated by
seasonably warm weather, with several periods of possible
showers and thunderstorms, although it will not rain every day.

For the first half of the week, Monday-Wednesday, a mid/upper
low will move southward out of southeast Canada and move across
the northeast states, while ridging develops to our west.
Interestingly, even with the closed low across the northeast,
our temperatures are forecast to be near or above normal through
Wednesday. There will be multiple short wave/vorticity impulses
rounding the low and moving across the area Monday through
Wednesday. However, Monday is expected to be dry as there is
limited moisture forecast, but as we move into Tuesday and
Wednesday, moisture increases, and shower chances will build
both days. There will be some instability, so there will also be
a chance of thunderstorms.

By Thursday, the low begins to open up as a short wave/vort max
kicks the low out. There will remain some moisture around the
area, so the short wave that moves across the area during the
day could lead to some showers and thunderstorms as there will
be some instability across the area still. Temperatures Thursday
will remain above normal.

On Friday, a backdoor cold front is expected to approach and
move across the area from the north. There will remain some
enhanced moisture near the area, although the short
wave/vorticity impulse will be weaker. However, there may be
enough moisture and lift combination to lead to additional
showers for Friday. Temperatures Friday will remain above
normal.

On Saturday, the backdoor cold front is expected to be south of
the area, and high pressure is forecast to build into the
region from the north. This is expected to lead to slightly
cooler conditions and a drier forecast.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.

Rest of today...Mostly VFR condition soutside of showers and
thunderstorms. However, a line of showers and thunderstorms are
moving across the area late this afternoon, which is producing
localized IFR conditions, along with wind gusts in excess of 40
knots. This line will likely remain just north of PHL and PNE,
but there remains a chance of thunderstorms south of this line
into this evening. Outside of thunderstorms, winds will be
southwest 10 to 15 with gusts of 20-30 knots. Moderate
confidence.

Tonight...Scattered showers and thunderstorms in the evening
will produce localized MVFR/IFR conditions to our TAF sites
along with brief wind gusts from the west in excess of 40 knots.
All shower/thunderstorm activity is expected to end after
sunset. VFR conduit's will then prevail for most of the night,
except for ABE and RDG where light fog is expected to develop
late tonight. Southwest to west wind 10 to 15 knots,
diminishing to 5-10 knots or less overnight. Moderate
confidence.

Sunday...Generally VFR conditions are expected. However, there
will be a chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms, which
may temporarily lead to lower conditions during the afternoon.
Winds will be west to southwest 5-10 knots. Moderate confidence.

Outlook...

Monday-Monday night...VFR conditions are expected. North-
northwest winds 5-10 knots, with a seabreeze developing during
the afternoon, becoming light and variable overnight. High
confidence.

Tuesday-Tuesday night...Mostly VFR conditions expected. A chance
of showers or thunderstorms which may temporarily lead to lower
conditions. Wind will vary from northeast to southeast 5-10
knots. Moderate confidence.

Wednesday-Wednesday night...Mostly VFR conditions expected. A chance
of showers or thunderstorms which may temporarily lead to lower
conditions. Wind will vary from northwest to south 5-10 knots.
Moderate confidence.

Thursday...Mostly VFR conditions expected. A chance
of showers or thunderstorms which may temporarily lead to lower
conditions. Wind will vary from northwest to southwest 5-10
knots. Moderate confidence.

&&

.MARINE...
A southwest wind of 15 to 20 knots should continue into this
evening before falling back to 10 to 15 knots overnight. There
may be localized gusts around 25 knots into early this evening but
they should not be widespread enough to warrant a Small Craft
Advisory.

Wave heights on our ocean waters are expected to range from 2
to 4 feet. Waves on Delaware Bay should be 2 feet or less.

For Sunday, Southwesterly winds 10 to 15 knots and a few gusts
to 20 knots possible. Seas ranging from 1 to 3 feet. These winds
shift to west and eventually NW Sunday night at around 5-10
knots.

Outlook...

Monday-Thursday...Conditions are expected to remain below
advisory levels through the period, although seas may approach
3-4 feet at times and winds may gust around 20 knots at times.

Rip Currents...

A south southwest wind increasing to 10 to 20 MPH is expected
for today. The wind should remain from the south southwest on
Sunday at around 10 MPH. The forecast wind direction will likely
maintain a low risk for the development of dangerous rip
currents on both days along the coasts of Delaware and New
Jersey.

Park, PA (WNG704) remains off the air until further notice due
