Area forecast discussion, Jul 18, 1:26 PM EDT, 2 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
126 PM EDT Tue Jul 18 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
A weak cold front will stall near the area tonight into
Wednesday. This front will move back to the north as a warm
front Thursday before a stronger cold front moves through the
region on Friday. High pressure will build in from the west over
the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Convection continues early this afternoon on a trough that runs
north-south along the I-95 corridor. The focus of storms for
the rest of the afternoon should stay in New Jersey and southern
Delaware, moving offshore by this evening. With PW's approaching
2 inches, heavy downpours will be a concern, along with
isolated severe weather.

There may be patchy fog tonight especially in those locations
that had rain during the day. Clouds and additional convection
will redevelop after midnight as another shortwave approaches
and we enter the left exit region of another jet streak.
Convection will taper off Wednesday morning, but additional
showers and thunderstorms will form Wednesday afternoon mainly along
and south of a front that should lie across the I-95 corridor. At
this point the chances for severe weather or flooding appear to
be low. It will be another very warm and humid day but a few
degrees cooler than Tuesday as there should be a bit more cloud
cover.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
The overall unsettled pattern we've been in looks to continue
through the short term.

The general trend should be for convection to diminish Wednesday
evening into the overnight due to the loss of heating but still
can't rule out a few isolated storms around. Lows range from the 60s
over most of eastern PA and interior NJ to around 70 over the urban
corridor and most of Delmarva.

For Thursday, the day should begin mainly dry with chances for
showers and storms starting to ramp up beginning in the afternoon as
the next more organized system approaches from the west. This means
showers/storms should initiate over central and western PA before
starting to move into our eastern PA zones by mid to late afternoon.
However the best chances for more organized and widespread
showers/storms looks to come through Thursday night as a low
pressure system tracks across southern Ontario helping to push a
cold front into the region. In fact the deep layer forcing could be
fairly strong with an upper level wave taking on a neutral to
negative tilt as it moves through and SE PA becoming situated near a
left jet exit region. Limiting factor for severe weather may be
timing being mainly at night with marginal deep layer shear values
around 30 knots. Still, think there is at least some potential for
severe storms along with flooding/flash flooding threat as PWATs
will be around 1.8 to 2.0 inches or so. It remains very warm and
humid with highs Thursday mainly in the 80s to around 90 and lows
Thursday night mainly in the 60s to around 70.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A slow moving cold front will be moving through the area during the
day Friday and this will keep a good chance for showers and
thunderstorms in the forecast. Biggest threat looks to be heavy rain
creating the potential for flooding and/or flash flooding.

The good news is that heading into the weekend the front should
start to clear the area to the east and this means the weekend
should be mainly dry and also cooler and less humid. It is worth
noting though that some of the guidance has trended a bit slower
moving the front off the coast and if this trend were to continue it
could result in some showers continuing into Saturday. For now
though, we keep showers out of the forecast except for the mention
of slight chances over portions of NE PA and northern NJ.

Sunday should feature partly to mostly sunny skies with seasonable
temperatures and relatively comfortable humidity levels to finish
out the weekend. Beyond this time, chances for showers and storms
start to increase once again through early next week as the next
system approaches.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas...

Rest of this afternoon...Scattered showers/t-storms especially
along and east of the Delaware River with MVFR or brief IFR
conditions possible. Winds south to southwest 5-10 kts.

Tonight...Any early shower or thundertorm, then additional
scattered showers and thunderstorms after midnight. Otherwise,
mainly VFR. Winds south to west 5-10 kts or less.

Wednesday...Chance for a few scattered showers and storms, mainly
near and south of ILG-PHL-EWR. Otherwise VFR. Northwest to west
winds around 5 to 10 knots except winds becoming southerly at
ACY. Moderate confidence.

Outlook...

Thursday and Friday...A cold front may move through with a
period of more widespread showers and thunderstorms...highest
chances look to be late day Thursday through early afternoon
Friday. VFR with times of MVFR and IFR around
showers/thunderstorms. SE-S winds of 5-10kts, shifting to more
westerly behind the front by late day Friday. Moderate
confidence.

Saturday...VFR. Northwest winds around 10 knots. Moderate
confidence.

&&

.MARINE...
Sub-advisory conditions through Wednesday with seas 2-4 ft and
winds south to southwest 10-15 kts. Main concern will be
potential for scattered t-storm potential this
afternoon/evening and again Wednesday.

Outlook...

No marine headlines expected. Winds generally around 10 knots with
seas of 2 to 4 feet. Scattered showers and thunderstorms possible
(20-40% chance) mainly in the afternoon and evening periods
Wednesday night through Friday.

Rip Currents...

A southerly wind increasing to around 10 MPH is anticipated for
today with breaking waves around 2 to 3 feet and a medium
period east to southeast swell. An underlying long period east
to southeast swell will likely be present, resulting in a
MODERATE risk for the development of dangerous rip currents
along the coasts of Delaware and New Jersey.

A light northwest to west wind on Wednesday morning is forecast
to become southerly around 10 MPH in the afternoon. Breaking
waves should be 1 to 2 feet with a medium period east to
southeast swell. There should still be an underlying long period
swell from the east and southeast. However, with breaking wave
heights on the decrease, we will carry a LOW risk for rip
currents on Wednesday.
