NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly wrote its last area forecast discussion before this special weather statement went out at Jul 16, 4:05 PM EDT, 1 hour 18 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 16, 4:05 PM EDT, 1 hour 18 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
405 PM EDT Sat Jul 16 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will build offshore this afternoon as a weak front
lingers across parts of Delmarva into Sunday. At the same time, a
weak trough of low pressure will track across the area. A cold front
is forecast to slowly settle across the region Monday night and
Tuesday, then weaken and dissipate in place on Wednesday. Another
cold front will arrive Thursday or Thursday night and once
again stall over or to the south of the forecast area.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Little pattern change from yesterday with a stationary front settled
over portions of Delmarva and far southern New Jersey. The front has
lifted northward by 25 miles or so compared to this time yesterday
with slightly stronger low-level southerly flow over the Mid-
Atlantic. Temperatures are nearing their forecast highs this
afternoon in the mid to upper 90s, approaching 90 over the Philly
metro.

Convection fired early today along the sea breeze, though little
lightning occurred until enough SB CAPE was reached with surfaces
reaching their convective temperatures AOB 83-86 degrees or so.
Slightly stronger surface based instability this afternoon than
yesterday with SB CAPEs more solidly above 2000 J/kg along and south
of the front, a few readings surpassing 3000 J/kg over southern
Delaware. Convective outflow and the sea breeze has pushed inland in
the coastal areas, helping to stabilize the lower atmosphere, but
some areas are beginning to recover. The strongest cumulus fields
have formed mostly where these boundaries have stalled over south-
central New Jersey. High clouds from remnant and new convection to
our south and west is holding instability back a bit along and
northwest. CAMs continue to agree that convection over southern
Pennsylvania down into Maryland and Virginia will organize into a
broken line segment and push eastward into at least the southern
portions of our area in association with the main vorticity maximum
and shortwave trough. Timing of this generally takes it through from
8 pm through midnight, slightly faster than some of the previous
runs from this morning, but some showers and downpours will likely
linger through much of the night, albeit more scattered as the main
broken line falls apart into the AM hours.

While sufficient instability is present, LL shear remains quite weak
(0-3 km values only around 15 knots or so, slightly weaker than
yesterday even. The environment is a little more favorable along and
south of the front, especially to our southwest, so the greatest
severe threat remains mostly over southern New Jersey and into
Delmarva. SPC has maintained a Marginal Risk area that just clips
parts of the Eastern Shore of Maryland, which seems reasonable given
the stronger shear to our southwest.

The flooding threat remains a little greater with storm motion once
again mostly 10 knots or less over the region. PWATs remain
appreciable from 1.5 to 2 inches. While not record values by any
means, these are still indicative of some heft moisture content and
any shower or storm that does develop will likely produce locally
torrential downpours. The fact that storm motion is so weak, could
lead to some localized flooding. Thankfully the greater instability
is mostly over areas that can handle rainfall of 1 to 2 inches in an
hour according to FF guidance, though any of these that fall over
more urbanized areas could begin to cause issues.

Lows tonight otherwise will stay mild in the upper 60s to near 70.
Some patchy fog is also possible tonight, especially over areas that
see rain given similar conditions to last night with light and
variable winds. Cloud cover may stick around long enough to keep
surfaces just warm enough to lead to more stratus than fog, but it
may likely come down to who is able to clear enough.

Tomorrow looks a bit quieter than today as we sit between
shortwaves. While we can't rule out any scattered showers and
thunderstorms, coverage looks much lower than today. Highs look to
top out similar to today in the mid to upper 80s with heat indices
in the upper 80s to lower 90s. The main concern turns to the next
incoming shortwave for Monday for the next widespread
precipitation.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
The period begins with increasing moisture aloft riding in on mid-
level SW flow. At the surface, increasing dewpoints will lead to the
potential of some fog. Isolated to scattered convection should be
ongoing, but does not look all that organized as the main upper-
level feature is well west. Sunday night will offer warm and muggy
conditions with near average overnight lows.

The main story on Monday and Monday evening is the cold front and
associated convection. PoPs are now categorical. PWATS are forecast
to exceed 2.00". CAPE and shear are considerable. Could be a day
with some localized impacts. Things begin to relax the second half
of Monday night as said features wane. Afternoon highs and overnight
lows will be about normal across the forecast area.

The mid-level trough axis tracks east of the region on Tuesday. We
get into a mid-level NW flow which will provide some drying. Only a
stray shower looks possible at this time on Tuesday. Tuesday night
looks to be precipitation free. The airmass will warm on Tuesday.
The area should see some afternoon highs around 90. For Tuesday
night, portions of the I95 corridor may not drop below the mid
70s.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
The heat and humidity will ramp up for Wednesday and Thursday. The
ridge over the Central and Western US will elongate and nudge into
our region, with 500 mb heights increasing. 850 mb temperatures on
Wednesday will be in the 18-20C range, resulting in high
temperatures in the low to mid 90s. Heat indices will mainly be in
the upper 90s, with some spots getting close to 100F. Can't rule out
some diurnal convective activity, but chances remain relatively low
and a large majority of the region will stay dry.

Temperatures will be a touch higher on Thursday as 850 mb
temperatures get over 20C. Looking at highs in the mid 90s and heat
indices potentially getting above 100F for areas east of the Fall
Line. Thursday will also feature chances for showers and
thunderstorms. A relatively potent trough will swing through the
Great Lakes region and lift northeast into eastern Canada. At the
surface, a cold front is anticipated to swing through. Still a lot
of uncertainty regarding the timing of the front, which will play a
large part in any severe prospects, but chc PoPs are in place for
Thursday afternoon and evening for a majority of the area.

The front should move offshore by Friday morning, but stall out
nearby. While dewpoints are expected to be a bit lower, temperatures
will stay rather warm. Temperatures on Friday will climb back into
the upper 80s/low 90s, with guidance hinting at another period of
above average temperatures for next weekend.

&&

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

Through 00Z...Mostly VFR with localized restrictions associated with
showers and thunderstorms, especially at MIV and ACY. Winds from the
south-southeast 5 to 10 knots. Moderate confidence.

Tonight...MVFR restrictions likely with scattered showers and
thunderstorms through 07Z. Low stratus possible after the showers
and thunderstorms move offshore after 06-07Z but low confidence in
coverage and whether CIGs stay MVFR or trend lower to IFR. Patchy
dense fog possible as well, especially at MIV and ACY, possibly as
far north and west as the Philly terminals. Winds mostly light
and variable, favoring the south. Low confidence.

Sunday...Any MVFR restrictions are expected to gradually improve to
VFR in the morning through 15Z as low clouds and fog lift. Slight
chance for a shower or thunderstorm, but less coverage is expected
than the past several days. Winds from the south from 5 to 10 knots.
Moderate confidence.

Outlook...

Monday...Patchy fog possible in the early morning. Showers and
thunderstorms likely in the afternoon and evening. Sub-VFR
conditions looking likely withe the convection. Southwesterly winds
5-15 kts. Moderate confidence.

Tuesday...A stray shower or thunderstorm possible during the day,
otherwise VFR. Southwest to west winds 5-15 kts. Moderate confidence.

Wednesday through Wednesday Night...VFR. West/southwest winds around
5 to 10 kt. Moderate Confidence.

Thursday through Thursday Night...Chance of showers and
thunderstorms, otherwise VFR. Southwest winds around 5-10 kt.
Moderate confidence.

&&

.MARINE...
No marine headlines are expected through Saturday with winds out of
the southeast from 5 to 10 knots with gusts generally around 15
knots, locally stronger in scattered showers and thunderstorms. Seas
around 2 to 3 feet.

Outlook...

Monday...SCA conditions possible. S to SW winds, mainly 10 to 15
kts. Gusts up to 25 kt during the afternoon and evening. Seas 3 to 5
ft.

Tuesday...Sub-SCA conditions. S to SW winds, mainly 10 to 15 kts.
Gusts up to 20 kt during the afternoon and evening. Seas 3 to 4
ft.

Wednesday through Wednesday Night...Sub-advisory conditions
expected. South to Southwest winds around 10 to 15 kt, gusting up to
20 kt. Seas 2 to 3 feet.

Thursday through Thursday Night...Winds and seas building toward
advisory criteria. South to Southwest winds around 15 to 20 kt, with
gusts getting near/above 25 kt. Seas 3 to 5 feet. Potential for
showers and thunderstorms in the evening and overnight hours.

Rip currents...

A southeast wind at 5 to 10 mph is expected this afternoon along the
coasts of Delaware and New Jersey. Breaking waves will be 1 to 2
feet with a medium period east to southeast swell. There is a LOW
risk of rip currents.

A south wind is forecast to increase to 10 to 15 mph on Sunday.
Breaking waves are expected to be 1 to 2 feet with a medium period
southeast swell. There is a LOW risk for rip currents on Sunday.
