What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this small craft advisory 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 small craft advisory went out at Nov 27, 12:46 PM EST, 10 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 27, 12:46 PM EST, 10 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
1246 PM EST Wed Nov 27 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure is in control the rest of today. A low pressure
system will take aim at the area late tonight into Thanksgiving
Day bringing another round of precipitation, mostly rain. A cold
Canadian high pressure then builds into the area on Friday and
persists through at least early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
940 AM update...
Forecast on track overall, no changes of significance at this
time.

619 AM update...
High pressure will maintain its effect on the region for
Wednesday with lighter winds as well as a dry day. However,
clouds will be increasing through the day as the next low
pressure system follows behind closely. High temperatures mainly
in the upper 40s to low 50s are expected.

Beginning Wednesday night into Thursday, we will see a low pressure
system moving in from the Ohio River Valley and track across the Mid
Atlantic. Guidance continues to remain in solid agreement showing a
low track over the I-95 corridor, an unfavorable track for any
widespread snowfall. As a result, this system will be widespread
rainfall for most. The only exception may be the Pocono Plateau that
could see an inch or two of snowfall early Thursday morning at the
onset of precip before switching over to a rain/snow mix after
daybreak and ultimately to mostly all rain by mid/late morning (a
few wet flakes cannot be ruled out). Regarding the timing and
evolution of this system, precip will arrive west to east early
Thursday morning and becoming a solid shield of rain for the first
half of your Thanksgiving holiday. System looks progressive enough
to perhaps see a bit of drying later in the day Thursday, but clouds
will linger for a time, so still not likely to see any sun on Turkey
Day. Lows Wednesday night will be in the 30s to low 40s with highs
mostly in the mid 40s to 50s, with southern locales which may end up
south of the warm front possibly inching close to 60. Rainfall
totals look to range from around one quarter of an inch across the
extreme southern range of the Delmarva to upwards of about one inch
across the northern tier of counties.

Regarding the snowfall potential once again for the Poconos, this
remains a highly uncertain situation there that will be dependent on
the exact track of this system. If the low tracks further south, we
could easily see snowfall amounts increasing, potentially leading to
several inches of accumulation there. That said, the current
expected low track will favor the early morning light snow with
mostly rain after daybreak. At this time, no winter weather
advisories have been issued, but the snowfall potential will
continue to be monitored.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Strengthening low pressure departs quickly on Thursday night before
moving into the Canadian Maritimes on Friday. Skies will gradually
clear overnight with low temps bottoming out in the upper 20s
to mid 30s.

For Friday and into Friday night, dry and cooler weather is expected
as high pressure starts to build in from the west. Mostly sunny
skies are in store with high temperatures mainly in 40s areawide.
However, before the high establishes itself, a reinforcing shot of
colder and drier air will surge into the region late in the day as a
secondary cold front moves across the area. Other than an increase
in some cloud cover, no precipitation is expected due to limited
moisture in the atmospheric column.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
The main story of the long term period will be that the region will
be cold and dry. This is due to a deep longwave trough that will be
situated over the eastern-third of the US for the weekend into at
least early next week. This will result in below normal
temperatures as an expansive area of cold Canadian high pressure
dominates. It will be precipitation free through Wednesday other
than a few snow showers in the higher elevations.

&&

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

Rest of today...VFR with an increase in clouds. No significant
weather. Westerly winds around 5-10 knots. High confidence.

Tonight...VFR to start with deteriorating conditions through
the overnight hours. Cigs and vis will drop to MVFR and possibly
IFR as rain overspreads the region. Moderate confidence overall
on impactful conditions, low confidence on timing and exact
evolution.

Outlook...

Thursday...IFR likely with widespread rainfall. Some improvement
possibly by mid-afternoon with rain tapering off. ENE winds around 5-
10 kts to start the day, turning WNW around 10-20 kts behind the
FROPA in the afternoon.

Thursday night...Sub-VFR conditions possible early with a slight
chance of a rain shower, otherwise skies clear overnight.

Friday through Monday...VFR. No significant weather expected.

&&

.MARINE...
Sub- SCA conditions are expected through today with fair
weather. Winds around 10-15 knots with seas of 1-3 feet.

Conditions should remain below Small Craft Advisory levels
tonight, but SE winds begin to ramp up, gusting to around 20 kts
with seas beginning to build to 2-3 feet.

Outlook...

Thursday...SCA likely. SSW winds gust to 25 kts in the morning,
turning WNW in the afternoon. Seas 3-5 feet in the morning, building
to 4-6 feet in the afternoon.

Thursday night...SCA conditions probable. Slight chance of a rain
shower. Winds around 15-20 kt with gusts up to 30 kt and seas of 3-5
feet.

Friday...No marine headlines expected. Winds around 10-20 kt and
seas of 2-3 feet.

Friday night through Monday...SCA conditions possible. Fair
weather.
