What forecasters said that day

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 Apr 16, 9:41 PM EDT, 12 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 16, 9:41 PM EDT, 12 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
941 PM EDT Sat Apr 16 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will cross our area this evening, then Canadian
high pressure builds in from the west later Sunday before moving
offshore on Monday. A coastal storm should affect the area
Monday night into Tuesday. High pressure will move over our area
for the middle of next week with another cold front arriving
during the late week period.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A potent mid-level speed max is currently approaching the region
from the west. In addition, a weak surface low is forecast to
develop along the front and move across our area. Convection
initially developed along the lee side trough and increased in
coverage across the DELMARVA and the Coastal Plain of NJ this
evening. The surface cold front is currently near the I-95
corridor and is forecast to head southeast and clear the coast
later this evening. Convection will likely continue to slowly
weaken through the overnight hours as instability wanes.

Overnight tonight, temperatures will fall towards the lower 40s
across most of the region with lower 30s over the Poconos. As
we go through Sunday, the core of the upper-level trough swings
across the area into the afternoon. Deepening low pressure into
the Canadian Maritimes combined with high pressure building
across the Great Lakes places our area within a tight pressure
gradient. Cold air advection will result in a much colder air
mass, with temperatures only rising into the 40s and 50s. The
tight pressure gradient in place along with the cold air
advection will promote deepening vertical mixing. This mixing
will become enhanced by midday as the boundary layer warms
enough to steepen the low-level lapse rates. Northwesterly winds
are forecast to gust to 30 mph during the day. The low- level
air mass will be very dry with dew points falling into the 20s
and even teens. The dryness of the air combined with the gusty
wind will result in an added chill. Some stratocumulus should
develop for a time in the chilly northwesterly flow, before dry
air entrainment and some subsidence takes hold as the upper-
level trough starts to lift out toward later in the afternoon.
There may be some lake effect snow showers, however these should
remain northwest of the southern Poconos.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Clear skies and light northerly winds will set the stage for
strong radiational cooling conditions Sunday night. A Freeze
Watch is in effect for locations where the growing season has
started and temperatures have the potential to drop below 32F.

Mid-level ridging will be over the area Monday morning before
sliding offshore during the day. Meanwhile, an upper trough digs
through the Northern Plains and western Great Lakes. Surface
low pressure develops over the Great Lakes, and a secondary low
develops over the Southeast U.S and lifts to the northeast late
Monday and Monday night.

The latest guidance continues to suggest a rain event in most
locations, and there could be generous amounts of around an
inch of rain across eastern New Jersey, and 1/2 to 3/4 inch
further inland. In the southern Poconos, temperatures should be
cold enough to support a period of accumulating snow Monday
night. One to two inches of snow is possible especially in the
highest elevations.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Long range forecast looks on track per the latest model
guidance. Low pressure departs on Tuesday and high pressure
builds in from the west. After below normal temperatures into
Tuesday, temperatures rebound behind the departing high on
Wednesday. Another cold front approaches from the west and looks
to pass through the region Thursday through Thursday night with
widely scattered showers. High pressure returns to close out
the week.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.

Tonight...VFR ceilings with showers and thunderstorms this
evening. There will be two rounds of precipitation this evening,
with the first round forming along lee side trough across
eastern MD. This batch of thunderstorms will head northeast and
likely affect KMIV and KACY. Currently thunder exists in these
cells, but a weakening trend is forecast as instability wanes.
No thunder is forecast for KMIV and KACY. For KPHL and KILG,
thunder is ongoing now, with this second batch of precipitation
in association with a surface cold front. Towards KTTN thunder
looks less likely, but it's close. These showers and isolated
thunderstorms will head east this evening with a surface cold
front sweeping through the terminals. Behind the cold front,
some light rain is expected, but this should clear rather
quickly. Southwest winds around 10 kts, veering around from the
northwest around 10 knots. High confidence.

Sunday...VFR. Northwest winds 15-20 knots with gusts to around 25
knots. High confidence.

Outlook...

Sunday night...VFR. NW to N winds diminishing to 5 kt or less.
High confidence.

Monday through Tuesday...VFR initially, and then sub-VFR in
rain, which may be heavy at times, Monday night through Tuesday,
Conditions improve to VFR on Tuesday. E winds 10 to 15 kt
during the day, becoming NW Monday night, then W 15 to 20 kt
with gusts up to 25 kt Tuesday. Low confidence.

Wednesday...VFR. NW winds 5 to 10 kt, becoming SW late.
Moderate confidence.

Thursday...VFR. SW winds 10 kt. Moderate confidence.

&&

.MARINE...
The conditions are anticipated to be below Small Craft Advisory
criteria through tonight. A gusty southerly wind this afternoon will
shift to the northwest later this evening as a cold front moves
offshore. The winds should lessen for a time, before increasing
again Sunday. This increase may start before daybreak across
Delaware Bay and the adjacent Delaware Atlantic coastal waters,
however the stronger winds should occur from about mid-morning to
late afternoon. Given a colder air mass Sunday and vertical mixing
becoming deeper, northwesterly winds are forecast to gust to around
25 knots during the day. As a result, A Small Craft Advisory has
been issued for Sunday.

Outlook...

Sunday night...Small Craft Advisory conditions (wind gusts)
early on the Atlantic coastal waters, otherwise sub-SCA
conditions.

Monday through Tuesday...A coastal low will pass through the
waters Monday night through Tuesday. A period of E winds gusting
to 25 kt possible, but strong NW winds gusting 25 to 30 kt will
develop behind the departing low on Tuesday.

Wednesday and Thursday...Sub-SCA conditions.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A very dry, but much colder, air mass will be in place Sunday.
Northwesterly winds will increase to 15-20 mph with gusts up to 30
mph. The relative humidity values are forecast to drop into the 25-
35 percent range. Some fire weather concerns are possible, however
this will depend on how much of a wetting rain occurs tonight and if
surface dew points drop lower than currently forecast during Sunday.
