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 Apr 10, 1:30 AM EDT, 1 hour 49 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 10, 1:30 AM EDT, 1 hour 49 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 130 AM EDT Thu Apr 10 2025 .SYNOPSIS... Cool and dry high pressure will shift offshore overnight. Low pressure then arrives late Thursday through Saturday, resulting in moderating temperatures and another prolonged period of wet and unsettled weather. The low pressure system may linger near the area into Sunday. High pressure will push offshore to our south into early next week, resulting in a period of above normal temperatures. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/... High pressure is moving off the coast at this hour as low pressure advances eastward and reaches as far as Ohio by around sunrise Thursday. Skies will continue to cloud over through the overnight. Expect lows generally in the middle to upper 30s south and the low to mid 30s north. Our Delmarva Counties that have officially entered the growing season will be close to Frost Advisory criteria but given the temperatures will be pretty marginal and RHs should stay below 80 percent, opted to hold off on issuing Frost Advisory. For Thursday, the aformentioned low will weaken as it moves eastward through Ohio as energy in the upper levels will be diving more to the south. Despite this, there will be enough warm advection and PVA driven lift to bring a bit of rain at least into portions of eastern PA by midday into the afternoon. Our POPs from Berks County northward toward the Poconos reach to around 60 percent. Meanwhile POPs near the I-95 corridor will max out around 20 to 30 percent. Also worth noting, there could be a little wet snow mixing in at times over the Pocono Plateau. Highs For Thursday should be pretty similar to today despite the WAA pattern due to it being mainly cloudy. && .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... The period Thursday night through Saturday will be unsettled, generally wet, and cool. Broad low pressure moves into western New York/southern Ontario on Thursday Night before occluding on Friday. This will result in some light rain developing Thursday Night over the area, but rainfall amounts will remain light around 0.10" to 0.25" or so. There should be a brief break sometime on Friday, most likely around early to midday, but a new surface low looks to develop over the Carolinas, lifting northward up the coast through the day on Friday. This will bring another round of heavier and more widespread rain into Friday Night as we continue to make inroads on the ongoing drought. NBM Probability of 1+ inch of rain Thursday through early Saturday is around 70-80% across the region, though some embedded heavier rain looks likely to the point some spots may get as high or even over 2 inches of rain. Probability of 2+ inches of rain through Saturday hovers around 20-30%, a not insignificant number especially since the highest probabilities are centered near the I-95 corridor. This could result in some urban and poor drainage flooding of low lying areas. A Marginal Risk (1/4) remains in place for most of the region for excessive rainfall for Friday through Friday night. Cannot rule out some rumbles of thunder either, mainly from the I-95 corridor and east, though no severe weather is anticipated. The surface low that moves up the coast on Friday night will meander nearby as an upper level trough over the eastern US tries to close off. This should result in some scattered to numerous showers hanging around through Saturday. Additional rainfall amounts around 0.10" to 0.25" at most. Temperatures through the end of the week and first half of the weekend will be in the mid 40s/low to mid 50s for highs and mid 30s/low to mid 40s for lows. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... A deep upper level trough crosses the region on Saturday Night, with an associated surface low slowly pulling away. Drier air begins to work in on the backside of the low with showers gradually moving out. Pretty good agreement among guidance in the positioning and timing of the upper level trough passing. With the surface low pulling away, Sunday should be mainly dry, though a few showers are possible near the coast. Temperatures will be a few degrees below normal with lower heights aloft and northwest flow ushering in some cooler air, bringing highs in the 50s to near 60 degrees. Upper level ridging begins to work in on Sunday Night, with high pressure at the surface sliding by to the south into next week. With heights rising and flow turning more southwesterly, temperatures quickly moderate for Monday and Tuesday, even going into above normal territory. Pretty good consensus that highs likely get to near 70 degrees on Monday, and especially Tuesday when some mid 70s are possible at lower elevations. A frontal system could come in sometime on Tuesday, knocking down temperatures toward more seasonable levels for the middle of next week. This frontal system could also bring some precipitation, though low confidence on that as the upper air pattern solutions diverge beyond Tuesday. Overnight lows through the long-term look to be in the 40s, with perhaps some areas up north getting into the upper 30s. The Frost/Freeze program for spring expands tomorrow to areas south of I-78, and temperatures overnight in the long term should be warm enough to not have any cold weather concerns for agriculture. && .AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas. Through 12z...Increasing clouds overnight but remaining VFR. S/SE winds around 5 knots or less. High confidence. Today... VFR for the I-95 and South Jersey terminals with cloud bases lowering through the day but staying above FL050. Winds picking up out of the southeast around 10-15 kt with gusts around 20 kt. High confidence. For KRDG/KABE, conditions should stay VFR with scattered showers around, but cannot rule out MVFR CIGs reaching the terminal in the afternoon. Would put the probability around 20-30% or so that MVFR conditions reach the terminals before 00z. Southeasterly winds 10-15 kt with gusts around 20 kt. Moderate confidence. Tonight...MVFR CIGs overspread the region through the first half of the night, eventually dropping down to IFR after 06z. Periods of light showers likely mixed in but expecting visibility to stay up given the light nature of showers. Cannot rule out periods of MVFR VSBYs though. Moderate confidence overall. Outlook... Friday through Friday Night...IFR conditions expected with rain, which could be heavy at times, moving through. Saturday...Sub-VFR conditions possible with some scattered showers and low clouds around. Saturday Night...Sub-VFR conditions possible with chance of rain (30- 40%) and low clouds around. Sunday and Monday...VFR. No significant weather. && .MARINE... There could be a few wind gusts to around 20 knots Thursday afternoon but conditions are expected to stay below Small Craft Advisory levels. Seas generally around 2 to 3 feet with the benign weather. Outlook... Thursday Night...No marine hazards expected. Friday through Sunday...SCA conditions expected as seas build toward 5 to 7 feet. Wind gusts 25-30 kt possible late Friday into Friday Night. Sunday night through Monday...No marine hazards expected. && .FIRE WEATHER... Humidity levels will be higher for Thursday with minimum RH values generally around 40 to 60 percent precluding any fire weather concerns. && .PHI WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...None. NJ...None.
