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 Sep 8, 1:23 AM EDT, 55 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 8, 1:23 AM EDT, 55 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
123 AM EDT Mon Sep 8 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure moves offshore as high pressure builds in tonight
through Tuesday. Another low tracks along the coast Wednesday.
A cold front passes through on Thursday, followed by high
pressure on Friday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
Heading into tonight, any lingering evening clouds should
mostly dissipate overnight as high pressure slowly builds in
except for a few high clouds near the coast. Lows will be
chilly, with mid to upper 40s in most suburban and rural spots
in NJ and PA, but low-mid 50s in the urban core, immediate
coast, and across the Delmarva.

Surface high pressure center moves into New York State during
the day Monday, providing a cool, dry but not particularly
strong north to northeast wind. Skies will be mostly sunny and
highs should rebound nicely into the mid 70s for most of the
region...cooler beaches and especially Poconos.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
High pressure lifts into northern New England Monday night and
Tuesday. Although the center of the high will depart Tuesday
night, the base of that high will extend down into the Northeast
and Mid- Atlantic. Low pressure organizes and develops over the
Southeast Tuesday night.

In terms of sensible weather, dry through at least Tuesday.
Seasonably chilly Monday night with lows in the upper 40s to
low 50s, through in the mid and upper 50s in Delmarva and along
the New Jersey shore. There is the potential for radiational
cooling in the southern Poconos, Lehigh Valley, and northern New
Jersey where skies will be clear and winds will be calm. Not as
much of a chance for radiational cooling in the Pine Barrens of
New Jersey as some clouds may begin to build in from the south.
Clouds begin to increase on Tuesday as moisture builds in from
the south with highs similar to that of Monday.

Some showers may develop Tuesday night ahead of low pressure
over the Southeast beginning to lift towards the Mid-Atlantic,
mainly over Delmarva and southeast New Jersey. Though QPF should
mostly be minimal, up to one tenth of an inch of rain is
possible along the coasts. Lows generally in the upper 40s to
low 50s in the southern Poconos, northern New Jersey, and Lehigh
Valley, and in the mid to upper 50s, possibly even in the low
60s, in southern New Jersey and Delmarva.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Low pressure tracks along the coast on Wednesday. The center of
the low should stay well enough offshore, however, to keep the
bulk of the rain over the ocean. But enough showers should
spread at least along the coasts, possibly as far west as the
I-95 corridor. QPF should be minimal, around one quarter of an
inch or less. Extensive cloud cover on onshore flow will keep
temperatures cool throughout, with highs generally in the lower
70s.

High pressure centered near Hudson Bay builds down into the
Great Lakes and Ohio Valley. Behind the departing low, a mild
airmass spreads into the region, and Thursday looks to be the
warmest day of the next 7, with highs in the upper 70s to around
80, which actually is normal for this time of the year.

A cold front passes through the region Thursday night, but it
looks to be dry. Temperatures will be a few degrees below normal
to close out the week.

&&

.AVIATION /05Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.

Early this morning...Overall, VFR. However, there is the
potential for brief, sub-VFR conditions to develop at KMIV/KACY
until drier air filters into the terminals. High confidence
overall, low confidence on sub-VFR at KMIV/KACY. N-NW winds
less than 5 kt.

Today...VFR/SKC. NE winds 5 to around 10 kt, except 10 to 15 kt
with gusts up to 20 kt at KACY. High confidence.

Tonight...VFR. E-NE winds less than 5 kt. High confidence.

Outlook...

Tuesday...VFR. Light NE to ENE winds 10 kts or less.

Tuesday night through Wednesday...Generally VFR, but cannot
rule out sub-VFR conditions, mainly at KMIV/KACY, in low clouds
and a few SHRA.

Thursday and Friday...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
No marine headlines expected through Monday. NW winds 10-15 kt
with a few gusts to 20-22 kt becoming N after midnight, then NE
on Monday. Waves 3 to 4 feet. Fair weather.

Outlook...

Sub-SCA conditions expected Monday night. The pressure gradient
tightens starting on Tuesday as low pressure approaches from
the south, and SCA conditions are possible through Wednesday
night for northeast winds gusting to 25 kt and seas building to
around 5 feet. Sub-SCA conditions return for Thursday and Friday.

Rip Currents...

For Monday, winds will be north to northeast at 10 to 15 mph.
Breaking waves will be 1 to 2 feet with southeast swells at a 7
second period. As a result, there is a LOW risk for the development
of dangerous and life threatening rip currents at the Jersey
Shore and at Delaware Beaches.

On Tuesday, the Northeast winds will become more established and
will strengthen somewhat. Speeds of 15 to 20 knots will be more
common. We'll assign a MODERATE risk for rip currents for now.
There is a possibility of the higher category, especially for
Delaware.
