328 PM EDT Sun Jul 5 2026
.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
Flood watch expanded to include all of New Jersey.
&&
.KEY MESSAGES...
1) Multiple rounds of heavy showers and thunderstorms are
expected to impact the area late today and continuing through
Monday bringing the threat for flash flooding.
2) Severe weather remains a threat with showers and storms
later this afternoon through this evening with the greatest
threat existing for areas near the I-78 corridor southward.
3) Impacts from prolonged heat and humidity will continue this
afternoon, even though the high temperatures and max heat
indices will not be as high as recent days.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1... Multiple rounds of heavy showers and
thunderstorms are expected to impact the area late today and
continuing through Monday bringing the threat for flash
flooding.
A Flood Watch remains in effect for the I-95 corridor and
points northwest, and has been expanded to include all of New
Jersey. It is in effect until 8 PM Monday.
A somewhat diffuse frontal boundary remains situated across the
area. As we get into the mid to late afternoon expected storms
to bubble up once again in response to diurnal heating plus weak
impulses moving through aloft. The column will be more
saturated compared to yesterday with PWATs progged to be over 2
inches. At the surface, the front is stationary over portions of
eastern PA into central portions of NJ. Aloft, the area will be
under the right entrance region of a jet streak over New
England extending into the Canadian Maritimes. This pattern
looks to lock in place not just for today but likely right
through Monday. Heavy showers and some storms are expected to
become widespread across the area this evening into tonight.
Rain rates of over 2 inches per hour are likely at times and
model guidance indicates there will be areas likely to see 3-4+
inch rainfall amounts in just a matter of a few hours within the
heaviest storms. Concern continues to impacts from prolonged
heat and humidity will continue this afternoon, even though the
high temperatures and max heat indices will not be as high as
recent days. crease in flash flooding impacts, some potentially
significant, especially for the I-95 corridor and points
northwest. Timing wise, there could be some heavier scattered
showers/storms around mainly over NE PA into NW NJ as early as
the mid to late afternoon but it really looks to be the evening
period when heavy storms will be quite widespread.
Overnight tonight, showers and storms should temper down at
least somewhat due to the loss of daytime heating, however,
there will still be plenty of frontal forcing at the surface and
jet support aloft to at least keep some showers and possible
storms around. This is not a setup where convection will be
completely dying after sunset. Lingering elevated instability
will mean even overnight lightning will be possible.
Unfortunately, very little change is likely into Monday. Expect
showers/storms to linger over the area and potentially become
quite widespread and heavy by the afternoon period once again
leading to more instances of flash flooding.
Impacts from flash flooding could be significant over the next
couple days. Areas facing the greatest threat from flash
flooding will be urban and lower lying areas and areas around
streams and creeks as these are likely to exceed their banks in
spots.
The heaviest of the rain should diminish overnight Monday night
but even into Tuesday there are likely to be some more showers
and storms around even though they are not likely to be as
widespread and intense.
KEY MESSAGE 2... Severe weather remains a threat with showers
and storms later this afternoon through this evening with the
greatest threat existing for areas near the I-78 corridor
southward.
The storms discussed above will also have the potential to
produce severe weather late this afternoon through this evening.
MLCAPE values will be less than the previous couple of days
given some cloud cover and weak lapse rates, however, it will
still be in the 1000-1500 J/kg range, especially from Philly
southward. Given modest shear, multi-cell clusters are expected
to be the dominant mode with damaging winds being the primary
hazard. The Storm Prediction Center has the majority of our area
in a Slight Risk (2 of 5) for severe storms. The highest threat
for severe weather looks to be areas near and south of the I-78
corridor where instability will be the greatest.
The severe weather threat will diminish by late evening as the
lower levels start to stabilize and instability becomes more
elevated.
KEY MESSAGE 3...Impacts from prolonged heat and humidity will
continue this afternoon, even though the high temperatures and
max heat indices will not be as high as recent days.
Even though temperatures are cooler today, it will remain quite
muggy with most area seeing high temperatures ranging from the
mid 80s to low 90s, and dewpoints in the upper 60s to low 70s.
While an improvement from previous days, this will still be
enough to result in continuing heat impacts due to the long
duration of these high temperatures and humidity. A Heat
Advisory remains in effect through 8 PM that includes all areas
except the Poconos and Sussex County NJ. Further cooling can be
expected for the new work week, so we don't expect heat
headlines being needed beyond today.

.AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.
Rest of today...VFR to start. After 21Z, scattered showers and
storms are expected to begin developing, first affecting RDG and
ABE, followed by the I-95 terminals, and then MIV and ACY.
Restrictions are likely in any showers and storms, but the
extent of convective coverage prior to 00Z is uncertain. Winds
generally east at 5-10 kt for RDG and ABE, and south at 5-10 kt
for all other terminals. Moderate confidence.
Tonight...Sub-VFR conditions expected. Widespread showers and
storms are expected to spread across all terminals between 00Z
and 05Z. Strong winds and visibility restrictions are likely
with this activity. MVFR ceilings to start, with IFR expected
after 08-10Z. Winds generally east at 5-10 kt. Moderate
confidence overall, low confidence in spatiotemporal details
regarding restrictions in storms.
Monday...Sub-VFR conditions expected. While there may be a
relative lull in shower and storm activity in the morning,
widespread showers and storms are again expected during the
afternoon and evening hours. IFR ceilings may improve to MVFR by
14-16Z. East-northeast winds at 5-10 kt. Moderate confidence
overall, low confidence in spatiotemporal details regarding
restrictions in showers and storms, especially in the afternoon.
Outlook...
Monday night...Scattered to widespread showers and
thunderstorms with sub-VFR conditions expected at times.
Tuesday...Still some showers around that could bring sub VFR
conditions.
Wednesday...Mainly VFR.
&&
.MARINE...
No marine headlines are anticipated through Monday. East-
southeast winds around 10 kt this afternoon, becoming east to
east-northeast tonight into Monday over northern and central
waters. Seas generally 2-3 feet. Scattered to widespread showers
and storms are expected beginning this evening and continuing
through Monday. Gusty winds, rough seas, and visibility
restrictions are likely in the strongest storms.
Outlook...
No marine headlines are currently anticipated through midweek, with
winds below 25 kt and seas remaining below 5 ft. However, a stalled
cold front will again be the focus for showers and storms tomorrow
afternoon and evening, with additional isolated showers and storms
also possible on Tuesday. Winds back to the E-NE 5-10 kt north
of the front, remaining E-SE south of the front over far
southern waters through Tuesday.
High pressure builds across New England through midweek, and will
eventually push the stalled boundary south of the area Tuesday night
through Thursday. Winds back to the N-NE behind the front
during this period, with seas also building gradually later
Tuesday through Wednesday, especially north of Barnegat Light,
though again likely remaining below 5 ft.
Rip Currents...
Through Tuesday...Winds remain east to southeast around 10 kt,
with gusts to 20 kt in the afternoon. Resulting increasing NE
wind wave will return an elevated MODERATE Rip Current Risk
along much of the Jersey Shore Monday and Tuesday, with LOW risk
persisting over Cape May/Atlantic Counties and the Delaware
Beaches, where winds remain lighter and more SSE through Tuesday
afternoon.
