Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
411 PM EDT Tue Jul 1 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will approach the area late Tuesday and move through
the region Tuesday night into Wednesday. High pressure builds
closer to the area later Wednesday into Thursday before settling
over our area on Friday and into the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains in effect for the entire
forecast area until 9PM EDT.

A Flood Watch remains in effect for locations near and along the
I-95 corridor and southeast Pennsylvania until 2AM EDT.

Numerous heavy thunderstorms have developed across the I-95
corridor with additional clusters of heavy thunderstorms across
the Harrisburg region and the Washington DC metro area. As a
cold front across the Ohio River Valley advances east across
Pennsylvania late this afternoon and into tonight, supported by
an amplified trough pivoting across the Northeast and Mid
Atlantic, these clusters of strong thunderstorms will begin to
collide and merge across eastern PA and the I-95 corridor,
slowly moving east into the Delmarva and New Jersey into
tonight. SFCCAPE values this afternoon have bubbled up to
3000-4500 J/kg with steep low-level lapse rates of 7.0-8.0 C/km
leading to rapid development of strong updrafts and severe
thunderstorms capable of producing locally damaging wind gusts.
Furthermore, PWAT values are in excess of 2.0 inches, which is
at the climatological maximum for this area this time of the
year, with forecast profiles indicating that storms could have
a tendency to backbuild or train. These factors all indicate
that instances of flash flooding could be more numerous than
what we see in many events with even the potential for some
instances of significant flash flooding possible, especially if
storms train over an urban area. High res model guidance
suggests the potential for heavier storms to produce a quick 1
to 3 inches of rainfall within just 1 to 2 hours and it's
possible some localized storms totals could reach around 4
inches. For this reason, the WPC has expanded the Moderate Risk
in the Excessive Rainfall Outlook to envelop the entirety of
southeast PA, including Philadelphia, and into the I-95 corridor
for parts of New Jersey, essentially matching the locations we
have highlighted in our Flood Watch.

These various clusters of thunderstorms will merge into a broad
line tonight, likely lessening the severe weather threat with
the loss of daytime heating, but maintaining or even
exasperating the flash flood threat across the entire region.
This massive complex of heavy showers and thunderstorms will
slowly shift south and east into southern New Jersey and the
Delmarva overnight as the cold front arrives to nudge the storms
towards the coast. As a result of the heavy rainfall and slow
storm motions, flash flooding concerns may continue through the
evening and well into the first part of the overnight period.
The storms will gradually begin to lose steam early Wednesday
morning, but steady showers and some isolated thunderstorms can
still be expected during the predawn hours of Wednesday. Lows
will be in the upper 60s to low 70s.

Latest guidance suggests this frontal boundary will slow down
and possibly become quasi-stationary across southern New Jersey
and the southern Delmarva come daybreak Wednesday. As a result,
additional showers and thunderstorms may develop across this
corridor through Wednesday morning before gradually shifting
offshore throughout the day. PWAT values in this narrow corridor
will still be near 2 inches, suggesting heavy downpours will
still be possible for at least the first half of the day. Skies
will be overcast to mostly cloudy to start the day with gradual
clearing in the afternoon from west to east. High temperatures
will be in the 80s, with some areas that see sunshine in the
afternoon further north and west likely seeing the warmest
temperatures in the mid to upper 80s.

Widespread rainfall amounts once this is all said and done look
to be at least around 0.75 to 2.5 inches of rainfall, with
locally heavier amounts very possible.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
Dry and quiet weather follows for Wednesday night as high
pressure builds in to our south and west. Lows in the 60s.

While high pressure will be increasingly in control on Thursday,
a weak cold front looks to sink southward during the afternoon
and evening on Thursday. This cold front looks to set off some
showers and maybe an isolated thunderstorm for areas near and NW
of I-78. High temperatures will be in the mid to upper 80s.
Nighttime lows will be in the 60s.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A lingering upper level trough looks to become reinforced as it
remains across much of the Northeast through the end of the
work week before moving offshore over the weekend. At the
surface, a high pressure system settles over our area on Friday
and Saturday and moving offshore on Sunday, keeping the region
mostly dry.

Daytime temperatures in the 80s for most Friday and Saturday,
with temperatures look to warm closer to 90 on Sunday. Dew
points are forecast to be in the low to mid 60s before
increasing to around 70 on Sunday. Overall, the most pleasant
day does look to be Friday which should make for a nice forecast
for the 4th of July.

Next week looks to begin hot and humid for next Monday and
Tuesday but there will be chances for late day showers/storms
as the next cold front approaches.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.

Rest of Today...Restrictions likely with thunderstorms in the
afternoon (60-80%). Winds from the southwest around 10 kts
gusting to 15 kts. Higher gusts possible in thunderstorms.
Moderate confidence.

Tonight...Restrictions likely (40-60%) with showers and
thunderstorms continuing into the evening. Showers/storms should
wind down overnight but an MVFR/IFR stratus deck could set in.
Winds generally W/SW around 5 knots. Moderate confidence.

Monday...Sub-VFR conditions likely with lingering stratus and
fog across the region. Gradual improvement from west to east
through the day. Winds W-SW around 5 to 10 kts. Moderate
confidence.

Outlook...

Wednesday night through Sunday...VFR. No significant weather.

&&

.MARINE...
Small Craft Advisory conditions continue until early Wednesday
morning. There will also be showers/storms moving over the
waters and these could produce localized wind gusts over 40
knots. Winds and seas subside below advisory criteria by
daybreak Wednesday. Some lingering showers and thunderstorms
possible off the Southern New Jersey and Delaware coasts.

Outlook...

Wednesday night into Saturday...Sub-SCA conditions expected.

Rip Currents...

On Tuesday, winds turn more south-southwest around 10 to 20 mph and
the period Will be around 7 seconds with breaking waves around
3 to 4 feet. Thus, we will continue with the MODERATE risk for
the development of dangerous rip currents for the NJ Shore and
LOW risk for Delaware Beaches as flow will be more offshore
there

For Wednesday, winds go more west/southwesterly and lighten to
around 10 MPH or less. Seas decrease as well within the surf
zone to around 2 feet. As a result, a LOW risk for the
development of rip currents will be in place for the Jersey
Shore and Delaware Beaches.
