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 Oct 27, 1:47 AM EDT, 27 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 27, 1:47 AM EDT, 27 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
147 AM EDT Mon Oct 27 2025
.SYNOPSIS...
An expansive area of high pressure centered to our north will
continue to dominate our weather through Monday. Low pressure
develops off the coast of the Carolinas on Monday before
tracking out to sea through Tuesday. Another low then tracks
across the Tennessee Valley Wednesday into Thursday before
moving across the eastern Great Lakes region Thursday night into
Friday. A secondary low may develop near our area later
Thursday. The entire system moves to our north during Friday
into the weekend, then a cold front may approach later Sunday.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
An expansive area of high pressure centered over western Quebec
remains in control of our weather this morning. This has resulted in
light winds and good radiational cooling for the areas that are
mainly clear. From around Philadelphia southward, however, stubborn
cloud cover persists at this hour which has kept these areas warmer.
Expect the general trend though should be for these clouds to
diminish overnight allowing even these areas to see some better
cooling. A Frost Advisory remains in effect for most of our zones
where the Growing season has not ended...essentially from the urban
corridor south and southeastward. The exception is the coastal
strip. Lows by morning should generally be in the 30s except low 40s
along the coast and some upper 20s over the southern Poconos and NW
NJ.
High pressure centered to our north will remain in control for
the day Monday bringing dry weather with mainly clear to partly
cloudy skies. Winds will be mainly northeasterly around 5 to 10
mph with highs generally in the 50s except around 60 over
Delmarva and extreme southern NJ.
For Monday night, a low pressure system to our south starts to
better organize itself near the coast of the Carolinas which will
help strengthen the pressure gradient over the area. This will
result in increasing NE winds, especially along the coast and over
our marine waters. There also looks to be a low stratus deck that
develops over the coastal plain. This will result in lows over
coastal plain zones being a bit warmer than this morning...mainly in
the upper 30s to mid 40s. North of here, where skies should remain
mainly clear, lows are forecast to range from the low 30s north to
around 40 over over the urban corridor.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
A cut-off low slides across the Southeast states late Monday
into Tuesday and merges with the flow of a more broad upper low
across the northeastern US, resulting in a surface low pressure
developing off the coast of the Carolinas. This feature is
mostly expected to miss our area as it quickly tracks out to sea
with the stronger flow aloft on the south side of a trough near
the Canadian Maritimes. It is possible that within the onshore
flow that some light showers, sprinkles or drizzle develops
along the coast later Monday night into Tuesday before spreading
inland some during Tuesday. It may take some time though for
the air mass to saturate with some initial stratus development,
and therefore the shower/rain chances are of low confidence
during this time frame. Northeast winds will also strengthen
into Tuesday due to the gradient between the high to our north
and the low off the coast. Along the coast winds should be 15 to
20 gusting 30 to 35 mph at times. Farther inland the winds will
be more like 10 to 15 gusting to around 20 mph. Temperatures
will continue to be on the cooler side of average with highs
Tuesday generally in the 50s. Lows will continue to be mostly in
the 30s to low 40s, a few degrees more mild thanks to the
increasing clouds at night.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Summary...Low pressure affects the area Wednesday night through
Thursday night; Chilly conditions continuing.
Synoptic Overview...A dynamic setup for the mid to late week
time frame as a strong upper-level through closes off as it
slides across the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys Wednesday into
Thursday. This then ends up across the Mid-Atlantic and
Northeast later Thursday before gradually weakening and shifting
north Friday and into the start of the weekend. At the surface,
strong high pressure centered across much of eastern Canada
Wednesday into Thursday shifts east. Low pressure sliding across
the Tennessee Valley may remain the main low as it lifts into
the eastern Great Lakes Thursday night then into adjacent Canada
during Friday. Another low may develop along the occluding
front near our area. The setup favors a storm, however the
details regarding its strength and exact track remain uncertain.
A continued onshore wind will impact the coastal/back bay areas
that had significant impacts from the coastal storm a few weeks
ago.
For Wednesday and Thursday...There still is some uncertainty
regarding how low pressure evolves, with more of the guidance
showing the parent low into the upper Ohio Valley and eastern
Great Lakes remaining the stronger one. The upper-level flow is
forecast to support a storm and while timing still needs to be
settled on, the main focus for rain and stronger winds looks to
be late Wednesday night through Thursday night. A strong upper-
level trough that closes off is forecast to slide across the
Tennessee and Ohio Valleys, which then translates into the Mid-
Atlantic and Northeast through Thursday night. Stronger onshore
flow is forecast to occur during this time frame as a robust
low-level jet crosses our area. As the closed low approaches,
surface low pressure tied with it strengthens toward the eastern
Great Lakes. An area of stronger divergence aloft should also
support a surface low developing across our area along the
occluding front. The strength of this second low is in question
given the varying solutions in some of the ensemble guidance.
Given the onshore flow which increases to gale force for a
period of time, already sensitive coastal/back bay communities
due to the coastal storm a few weeks ago may experience strong
winds, coastal flooding and potentially significant beach
erosion. The rainfall forecast is challenging as well as this
will depend on the track and forward movement of the system. The
bulk of the rain looks to be tied to strong forcing for ascent
which is in conjunction with a robust low-level jet. We need the
rain so this is something of interest for our entire region.
Given the uncertainty with the timing/details, the only main
change from the National Blend of Models (NBM) output once again
was to increase the wind and wind gusts on land given the low-
level jet and enough vertical mixing. Some guidance hints at
some instability developing later Thursday, which could result
in some embedded stronger convective elements however it is not
clear at this time if it will be enough to get thunder/lightning
to occur. As a result, kept a mention of thunder out of the
forecast for now.
For Friday and Saturday...Based on the consensus timing at this
point, low pressure should be exiting to our north Friday
morning. This occurs as the parent closed low pivots northward
and gradually weakens. Remaining rain or showers then should be
ending from south to north Friday. Cyclonic flow lingers however
and with some cold air advection in the wake of the storm will
keep temperatures on the chilly side. A tightened pressure
gradient in place with cold air advection should result in
decent mixing Friday and therefore a gusty wind. Some pressure
gradient remains in place Saturday, therefore a breeze looks to
remain, however this should diminish with time especially during
Saturday evening.
For Sunday...An upper-level trough sliding across the Midwest
and Great Lakes will have weak low pressure with and also a cold
front. This cold front may not make it to our area until at
night or just beyond. There should be less wind given a much
weaker pressure gradient that is currently forecast to be in
place ahead of the aformentioned cold front. Temperatures still
look to be on the chilly side.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.
Overnight...VFR with mainly just some mid and high clouds around.
Winds light (under 5 knots) and mainly favoring a north to NE
direction.
Monday...VFR expected with mostly clear skies. Northeast winds
around 5-10 kts. High confidence.
Monday night...Remaining VFR. Northeast winds around 10 knots.
Expect a stratus deck around 4000 ft developing at MIV and ACY.
Moderate confidence
Outlook...
Tuesday...Increasing clouds with MVFR cigs possible, especially
for MIV and ACY.
Wednesday and Thursday...Sub-VFR probable as rain develops,
especially on Thursday. Gusty northeasterly winds probable,
especially closer to the coast.
Friday...Sub-VFR conditions should occur at least in the
morning as rain/showers taper off. Gusty winds become southwest
to west.
&&
.MARINE...
The conditions remain at sub Small Craft Advisory levels through
Monday.
For Monday night, northeast winds and seas start to ramp up with a
Gale Watch beginning at 8z for our ocean zones the southern Delaware
Bay and Small Craft Advisory conditions beginning around this time
for the northern Delaware Bay.
Outlook...
Monday night through Tuesday night...SCA conditions develop
late Monday with Gales possible Tuesday and Tuesday night.
Northeast winds ramp up to 20-25 kts. Gusts of 30 to 35 kts
possible. Seas build from 5-8 feet Tuesday to 8-10 feet Tuesday
night.
Wednesday and Thursday...Small Craft Advisory conditions
likely. Gale force wind gusts probable mostly on Thursday.
Dangerous seas on the ocean building to 8-12 feet.
Friday...Gale force wind gusts probable. Seas up to 10 feet on
the ocean zones gradually subsiding.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
A prolonged period of coastal flood impacts with potential for
beach erosion is anticipated to impact the Atlantic coasts of
New Jersey and Delaware, and Delaware Bay beginning as early as
Tuesday and lasting through as late as Friday.
Modest northeast winds near 20-30 kts will strengthen beginning
Tuesday into early Wednesday due to the pressure gradient
between a strong high pressure system to our north and a
strengthening storm system that will pass well to our south. A
brief lull in the winds is forecast late Wednesday, then a
developing storm system across the Mid Atlantic on Thursday will
strengthen onshore winds again on Thursday. Winds will shift
offshore to the southwest or west sometime Friday into Saturday.
Widespread minor coastal flooding is forecast to begin starting
with the Tuesday afternoon high tide for coastal Delaware and
Cape May County in New Jersey. This is anticipated to expand to
include much of Delaware Bay and north along the coast of New
Jersey through Ocean County by Wednesday afternoon's high tide.
For the late week storm system, coastal flood impacts are much
less certain at this time, but at least widespread minor
coastal flooding is increasingly probable for the afternoon
high tide Thursday with some potential for moderate coastal
flood impacts. With this system, the threat for coastal flooding
may also expand to include the tidal Delaware River and eastern
shore of Chesapeake Bay as well. The magnitude and coverage of
any potential moderate coastal flooding will be dependent on the
exact strength and track of the storm system, which remains
very uncertain at the moment. Remain alert for additional
forecast updates and information regarding this long duration
coastal flood event.
