Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
331 PM EDT Wed Jun 14 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
An area of low pressure will move across New England and
southeast Canada through Thursday as multiple surface boundaries
move across the Mid Atlantic region. Another low pressure will
move out of the Great Lakes and into the Mid Atlantic region
Friday, before drifting to the northeast through Saturday into
Sunday. High pressure tries to build into the Mid Atlantic
region Sunday, before a frontal boundary lifts northward toward
the area and stalls to our south into early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
The large stacked low pressure system will move slowly eastward
to the north of our area into tonight, with a cold front
crossing the region this afternoon and evening. Along the front,
isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms have developed.
Instability is limited, however the storms have been producing
small hail and gusty winds. This activity will push to our
northeast and offshore after 6 PM as the front moves offshore,
then a quiet night is expected as high pressure settles to our
southwest. Southwest winds around 10-15 mph will shift to the
west behind the front with gusts up to 25 mph.

Lows tonight will be around 5 degrees below normal, mainly in
the 50s across the region. Skies will clear out tonight with
west winds around 5-10 mph.

For Thursday, a seasonable and dry day is expected. Warmer 850
mb temperatures and increasing thicknesses will result in warmer
high temperatures than today despite being in a post-frontal
regime. Forecast highs are in the low to mid 80s, though
dewpoints in the low to mid 50s will make for a more comfortable
warmth. Northwest to west winds will prevail around 10-15 mph
during the day with some scattered clouds.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
Another active day is possible again on Friday as an area of
low pressure is forecast to move out of the Great Lakes region
and move across the Mid Atlantic region. Meanwhile, a strong
short wave/vorticity impulse will move across the area as the
mid/upper low moves out of the Great Lakes and into New York
state. As the surface low moves into the area, there could be
some instability develop ahead of it. With enhanced moisture
across the area ahead of the system, the enhanced lift from the
short wave will lead to an increasing chance of showers through
the day, with a chance of thunderstorms. If any thunderstorms do
develop, the freezing level and wet-bulb 0 heights will be low
again that there could be some hail with any thunderstorms that
develop. Another concern will be the potential for heavy rain as
PW values increase to 1.25-1.50 inches for some areas. The low
will drift to the northeast on Friday night, but there could be
some showers linger into the night.

On Saturday, the low will continue to drift into southern New
England, before shifting to the northeast overnight Saturday as
the mid/upper low pulls away as well. There remains some
enhanced moisture across the area with PW values around 1 inch
or greater, which combined with multiple short wave/vorticity
impulses and a couple of surface troughs/boundaries will allow
for additional showers to develop during the day Saturday. Any
showers will dissipate during the evening hours as daytime
instability wanes and lift dissipates as the lows lift to the
northeast.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Although the main system will depart on Sunday, there will be
another shortwave that rotates through the region during the
day. Although chances for showers will be lower than Saturday,
there is still at least a slight chance for showers and possibly
a thunderstorm, mainly in the northern areas.

A closed upper low dives into the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys on
Monday, and low pressure will organize and develop over the
eastern Gulf Coast and Southeast U.S. A warm front will develop
out ahead of this system and will lift towards the Mid-Atlantic
and Northeast. The main system will meander over the Southeast
into Tuesday, but several waves of low pressure will spin off
this system and lift towards the Northeast during this time. For
now, will follow the NBM and carry chance PoPs for the Monday-
Tuesday time frame.
