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 Jan 9, 1:50 PM EST, 3 hours 36 minutes earlier. Its key messages:

  • Showers late this afternoon into early tonight then more rains Saturday.
  • Isolated rain and/or snow showers Sunday afternoon. Gusty winds then develop Sunday afternoon and Sunday night.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 9, 1:50 PM EST, 3 hours 36 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
150 PM EST Fri Jan 9 2026

.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
Confidence with regards to amounts and placement of heaviest
rainfall has increased. Increasing potential for rain and/or
snow showers Sunday afternoon with passage of cold front. Gusty
winds expected Sunday afternoon and Sunday night.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...
- Showers late this afternoon into early tonight then more
  rains Saturday.
- Isolated rain and/or snow showers Sunday afternoon. Gusty
  winds then develop Sunday afternoon and Sunday night.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Showers late this afternoon into early tonight
then more rains Saturday.

A cold front will cross the area late today and early tonight
and then a wave of low pressure forms along it to the south and
rides across the northern Middle Atlantic Saturday. Showers are
already evident on regional radar to the South/West. As the warm
advection develops ahead of the front, these showers will
translate across our region. Pops will be in the likely to low
categorical range (70% to 80%). Total rainfall of a tenth of an
inch or up to two tenths of an inch possible. Rains end
overnight with patchy fog. Possible VSBY travel impacts in fog.

More rains develop Saturday as a wave of low pressure moves up
from the South/West. Pops (90% to 100%) for the area with rains
arriving S/W first for the late morning and then arriving N/E
for the afternoon. Rains with this second batch will be three-
quarters of an inch to one-inch. Possible impacts could poor
drainage flooding and possibly fog for areas near cooler rivers
of the ocean.

KEY MESSAGE 2...Isolated rain and/or snow showers Sunday
afternoon. Gusty winds then develop Sunday afternoon and Sunday
night.

Strong, nearly vertically stacked, low pressure will be over
the Province of Ontario Sunday morning and will track east into
the Province of Quebec Sunday afternoon. From this low, a deep
upper trough will extend back into the Great Lakes and Ohio
Valley, and a strong surface cold front will be associated with
that trough. The cold front and base of the trough will pass
through the region Sunday afternoon, and there will be strong
shortwave energy associated with that trough. Strong cold air
advection will develop behind the passage of the front, and this
should be strong enough to touch off isolated rain and/or snow
showers Sunday afternoon. For now, will make sure the forecast
has 15-20 PoPs (slight chance) for the afternoon period, as
conditions should be dry starting in the morning behind the
initial departing system. Cannot rule out the possibility for
some localized snow squalls either, but it is a little too soon
for those details to be developed.

From there, a tight pressure gradient develops over the area
between low pressure over the Canadian Maritimes and high
pressure building into the Midwest and Gulf Coast states. Winds
shift to the west- north west and increase to 20 to 30 mph with
gusts up to 40 mph late Sunday afternoon and Sunday night for
most of the area. However, for the southern Poconos, gusts could
be as high as 45 to 50 mph, and a Wind Advisory may be needed.
