Area forecast discussion, Sep 8, 12:31 PM EDT, 50 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 1231 PM EDT Fri Sep 8 2023 .SYNOPSIS... A weak cold front will become nearly stationary across eastern Pennsylvania today and tonight. The cold front is then forecast to slowly shift eastward over the weekend before finally moving offshore during early next week. Another cold front looks to arrive later Wednesday into Thursday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... A mid level trough will extend from the Great Lakes to the southeastern states today and tonight, with a mid level ridge remaining over the western North Atlantic. The pattern will likely keep us under a southwesterly flow aloft. Short wave energy traveling in the mid level flow is forecast to aid in the development of afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms again today. While the overall synoptic setup across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic is fairly similar to yesterday, and the Storm Prediction Center has expanded the 'Slight Risk' of severe thunderstorms southeastward across the I-95 corridor, there are some notable differences in the forcing mechanisms and thermodynamic setup. A surface front draped down the Appalachians has actually started to drift close to our northwestern zones, with notably cooler conditions there compared to yesterday. Temperatures around midday are running 6-10 degrees lower there than midday on Thursday, and 2 to 5 degrees lower across the rest of our region. We still have a very humid airmass in place with dewpoints into the 70s, highest south and east of the Fall Line, and that is contributing to CAPE of 2500-4000 j/kg there, with quickly waning convective inhibition. There is still some decent deep layer shear around 20-25 kt, however this is mainly over our northwest zones, not co-located with the higher CAPE like we had in place there yesterday. Mid-level winds are somewhat weaker, owing in part to a weaker shortwave passing by and ridging to our east actually trying to build back slightly toward the coast. That portends a weaker forcing mechanism, especially this afternoon, which suggests that convection will not be very focused at least initially. If visible satellite is any indication, thunderstorms may pop up over New Jersey around Burlington or Ocean Counties, possibly extending down into southern Delaware. The hi-res CAMs suggest that may be where we see convection limited to this afternoon into early evening, perhaps building into northern New Jersey. This evening, CAMs suggest that larger scale forcing from shortwaves lifting northward along the western edge of our region will trigger more numerous showers and thunderstorms over similar northwestern portions of our region that saw activity Thursday evening, moving in from Berks County to the Lehigh Valley around 7 or 8 PM and then gradually progressing toward I-95 tonight, while weakening. While any of this activity will bear watching for severe weather, with the forcing and best instability not lining up like yesterday, the overall severe threat may be more limited. Storms this afternoon closer toward the coast may carry either marginally severe hail or strong winds, while the threat with storms this evening coming in from the northwest will be more limited to damaging winds. Storms may produce heavy rain rates, but all indications are that they will also tend to not linger in any one area for very long, so am not overly concerned about flash flooding today or tonight. Otherwise some isolated showers and thunderstorms may linger later tonight, but will diminish in coverage and intensity. Areas of fog are possible, especially at locations that receive rainfall, with a cloudier start to the day on Saturday for most of our region. && .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... Temperatures trending downward however it will remain humid, with at least some convection around especially each afternoon and evening. The temperatures are expected to be cooler Saturday however it will still be humid with some showers and thunderstorms. As an upper- level trough remains to our west, a weak cold front will be stalling across our region. The coverage of convection is less certain Saturday as there could be a lull in the larger scale forcing despite a surface front in the area. Given temperatures forecast to be cooler, the magnitude of the instability is also forecast to be lower. In addition, the shear looks a little less however ample boundary layer heating should lead to steepening low-level lapse rates once again. This would tend to still support some convectively generated stronger surface wind gusts if enough convection develops and especially if it organizes some. In addition, the precipitable water values will be in the 1.5-2.0 inches range Saturday and therefore convection will produce locally heavy rain. While some much needed rain has recently fallen across parts of eastern Pennsylvania and northern New Jersey, the entire region can certainly use the rain, therefore the overall flash flooding risk should be limited outside of the more urban areas. As we go through Sunday, the axis of a gradually weakening upper- level trough is forecast to arrive. This will keep a weak surface front draped nearly north to south across our area. Given some cooling aloft and some additional forcing for ascent with the trough aloft arriving, some increase in convective development should occur especially in the afternoon and early evening hours. While there will be cooler temperatures it will remain humid, however the instability will be held down some which should mostly keep the thunderstorms intensity in check. Locally very heavy rain will be probable once again with high precipitable water values and potentially slower storm motions. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... Summary...Cooler temperatures however a slow return to lower dew points. A continuation for some possible showers and thunderstorms at times. Synoptic Overview...The axis of an upper-level trough is forecast to work across our area during Monday as it weakens. A much stronger upper-level trough is forecast to move across the Great Lakes region and adjacent Canada during the first half of next week before gradually shifting into the Northeast. The timing of this feature will depend on the amplitude of it and if it closes off or not. At the surface, a weak cold front is forecast to finally get pushed offshore Monday. The next cold front looks to arrive later Wednesday into Thursday. For Monday...The axis of a gradually weakening upper-level trough is forecast to cross our region. This will take a weak cold front offshore. Given some cooling aloft and some forcing for ascent with the weakening trough aloft, some convective development should occur especially in the afternoon and early evening hours. While there will be cooler temperatures it will remain humid, however the instability will be held down some which should lower the severe thunderstorm risk. Locally very heavy rain will be probable due to high precipitable water values and potentially slower storm motions, however the region needs the rain and this could limit the flash flooding threat. For Tuesday through Thursday...Some drier air should work in during Tuesday in the wake of the weak cold front, however there is no significant push of drier low-level air and therefore a humid air mass should still be in place. This may provide a window for no convective chances though, however the next upper- level trough working across the Great Lakes and toward the Northeast will drive a cold front into our area later Wednesday into Thursday. The details with this front and the extent of convection will depend on the amplitude and timing of the trough and associated surface cold front. While it remains humid for a while, the dew points should lower some during peak heating each day, although a more notable drop looks to occur late in the week. We continue to monitor the track forecast for Hurricane Lee. The exact track remains uncertain especially tied to when it makes a northward turn. Therefore it is way to soon to get specific on any possible direct impacts. However, large swells and the development of dangerous rip currents into our area will become more likely during next week. && .AVIATION /16Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas. Rest of Today...Mainly VFR. A chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 21Z. Storms may be limited around Delaware and NJ this afternoon, then focus on eastern Pennsylvania early this evening before possibly reaching I-95 later in the evening. Wind favoring the southwest and south 5 to 10 knots. Medium confidence. Tonight...A chance of showers and thunderstorms, diminishing in coverage after midnight. Some low clouds and fog are possible, reducing conditions to MVFR or IFR, mainly north and west of I-95. Variable wind 5 knots or less. Medium confidence. Outlook... Saturday and Sunday...VFR much of the time, however some showers and thunderstorms around especially each afternoon and evening can lead to local periods of sub-VFR conditions. Southerly winds 5-10 knots each day, diminishing some each night. Low confidence. Monday...Times of sub-VFR conditions probable especially with some showers and thunderstorms. Southwest to westerly winds 5-10 knots, becoming northwest 5 knots or less at night. Low confidence. Tuesday...Mostly VFR. A low chances for some showers and thunderstorms. Northerly winds 5-10 knots, becoming southeasterly. Low confidence. && .MARINE... A southerly wind 10 to 15 knots today is forecast to decrease to 5 to 10 knots tonight. Waves on our ocean waters are expected to be 2 to 3 feet, with waves on Delaware Bay at 2 feet or less. Outlook... Saturday through Monday...The conditions are anticipated to remain below Small Craft Advisory criteria. Some thunderstorms possible mostly each afternoon and evening, however the greater chances look to stay inland. Tuesday...Seas may start to build to near 5 feet on our ocean zones, otherwise the conditions should be below Small Craft Advisory criteria. Rip Currents... A southerly wind 10 to 15 MPH is expected for today along the coasts of Delaware and New Jersey. Breaking waves are forecast to be 1 to 2 feet with an underlying long period easterly swell (around 11 or 12 seconds). There is a LOW risk of rip currents for today. A southerly wind around 10 MPH is anticipated for Saturday with breaking waves of 1 to 2 feet. An underlying long period easterly swell (around 10 seconds) is forecast. Being that conditions will likely be similar to those of today, we will keep the mention of a LOW risk of rip currents for Saturday. && .PHI WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...None. NJ...None.
