Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
426 PM EDT Mon Jul 14 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
A very warm and humid airmass will be over the region this week
with multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms expected. A
cold front will move eastward into the region through tonight,
and then stall near or just south of our area through Wednesday.
It will move northward as a warm front on Thursday. Another
cold front approaches toward the end of week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Isolated to scattered storms have developed over portions of
the region. Expect this to continue until the main line of
showers and storms approaches our region later this afternoon.
This line should cross through our region through the late
afternoon into late this evening. After midnight, may have some
lingering showers, but most areas will be dry as the mid and
upper level trough progresses further east away from our area.
Another round of low clouds possible. Depending on where the
heaviest rain falls, some fog is possible as well.

As for the hazards today, the main hazard is the potential for
heavy rain and flash flooding. Caroline County MD was added to
the flood watch, but otherwise, no significant changes. A full
discussion of the flash flood threat is below in our hydrology
section.

There is a 15 - 20% risk for wet downburst/gusty wind potential
with stronger storms this afternoon. Bulk shear remains very
weak, which will limit how many updrafts can even get strong and
tall enough to have a downburst potential, but with potential
for rain loaded downdrafts, a few wet downbursts are possible.

Latest guidance depicts the front stalling just south of our
region. If this comes to fruition, that would mean the main
focus for storms tomorrow will be south and east of our region.
That being said, there is still uncertainty if the front will
make it that far south. In the area of the front, expect another
round of potential heavy rain. One thing that is different
tomorrow (as compared to today) is the mid and upper level
pattern will be characterized by short wave ridging instead of
the trough that is crossing over today. Consequently, coverage
of storms, even in the area of the front will be far more
limited.

Even if the front is fully south of our area, it is weakening,
so don't expect any significant dry or cold air advection in its
wake.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Unsettled weather along with very warm and humid conditions will
continue through Thursday. Several rounds of showers and
thunderstorms can be expected, with locally heavy rainfall
leading to flash flooding being the primary threat. On Thursday,
there is also a concern for extreme heat.

The front may begin to lift north on Wednesday, but its exact
placement remains uncertain at the moment. The shortwave ridge
will still be overhead on Wednesday, and this could act to
introduce some dry mid level air into the equation. Synoptic
forcing will not be strong, and shear will again be weak. At
least scattered showers and thunderstorms should develop again
into the afternoon and evening due to the diurnal instability
and lack of any significant subsidence or CIN. PoPs remain
around 50- 70% for our inland areas. No severe probabilities are
currently included from SPC, but there could be an isolated
damaging wind gust from any stronger thunderstorms that develop.
PWats will again by high around 2" or so, so the tropical
downpours will also remain a threat.

On Thursday, southwesterly flow will bring back warm air and
moisture advection resulting in heat index values approaching
100 degrees in many areas. This could be the warmest day of the
week (unless the cold front on Friday is later than currently
expected).

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
Friday could be another hot day depending on the timing of the
next cold front. Latest guidance shows the front crossing
through the region late in the day, and into the overnight hours
on Friday. If that timing holds, most of the area (aside from
Delmarva) may be a degree or two lower on Friday as compared to
Thursday.

Heading into the weekend, Saturday should experience the lowest
chance of convection with a surge of slightly drier air, lower
instability, and some subsidence from the departing trough.
Temperatures returning back closer to normal. Chances for
convection should increase again some for Sunday as the boundary
start lifting north with return flow.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.

Today...Afternoon SHRA/TSRA will result in MVFR or lower
conditions. Have VCTS with TEMPOs where/when confidence
greatest. S winds 5 to 10 kt. Moderate confidence.

Tonight...Sub-VFR in SHRA/TSRA in the evening. Sub-VFR
conditions in fog and stratus possible thereafter. Low
confidence.

Tomorrow...Prevailing VFR. scattered TSRA possible after 18Z,
which could result in brief MVFR conditions.

Outlook...

Wednesday through Saturday...Overall, prevailing VFR
conditions. However, afternoon and evening SHRA/TSRA may result
in brief restrictions daily. Restrictions conditions are also
possible overnights/early mornings due to low clouds and fog,
but uncertainty remains on this potential, so confidence is low
on any daily details.

&&

.MARINE...
Winds and seas should generally stay below Small Craft Advisory
criteria through tonight. Gusty winds could be possible in the
vicinity of any thunderstorms late today/this evening.

Outlook...

Wednesday through Saturday...Winds and seas should stay below
Small Craft Advisory criteria through this period. Showers and
thunderstorms are possible daily, primarily in the late
afternoon and evening hours.

Rip Currents...

Tuesday, southerly winds 5-10 mph with breaking waves around 1
to 2 feet. This combined with an easterly swell around 1 foot at
6-7 seconds in length will result in a LOW risk for the
development of dangerous and life threatening rip currents at
all beaches.

Wednesday, south-southwesterly winds 5-10 mph with breaking
waves around 1 to 2 feet. This combined with an easterly swell
around 1 foot at 6-8 seconds in length will result in a
continued LOW risk for life threatening rip currents at all
beaches.

Rip currents occur often in the vicinities of jetties and piers
and the speed of the currents are generally maximized at low
tides.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
As mentioned above, there is a risk for heavy rain leading to
flash flooding with any showers and storms through this evening.
The flood watch remains in effect for much of our region.

There are a lot of factors that are increasing our risk for
flash flooding. Soundings depict a tall, skinny CAPE profile
typical of a heavy rain pattern. Precipitable water on the 12Z
KIAD sounding was above 2 inches. This is well above the 90th
percentile for this time of year. Additionally, the warm cloud
layer should be quite deep. Storm motions, although slightly
faster than what we have seen the last several days, will still
be relatively slow (around 20 to 30 mph)

The only factors not present that typically are with heavy rain
events is that wind shear will be weaker than typical (near or
below 10 kt), and there doesn't look like there will be much of
a low level jet for moisture transport. This could limit how
long individual cells last before dissipating.

The biggest concern is for flash flooding on roadways, in urban
areas, and for small streams and creeks. What areas have flash
flooding will be highly dependent on where the heaviest
downpours set up.

Significant main stem river flooding is not expected.
