Area forecast discussion, Apr 24, 6:36 AM EDT, 58 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 636 AM EDT Fri Apr 24 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... Updated aviation discussion. && .KEY MESSAGES... 1. Today will be cooler with less wind and higher humidity levels compared to yesterday. 2. A low pressure system will pass through the region this weekend with widespread showers and seasonably chilly temperatures. && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1...Today will be cooler with less wind and higher humidity levels compared to yesterday. The high to our north along with low pressure east of the Canadian Maritimes will help drive a backdoor cold front southward through the area this morning. This will also bring some increasing cloud cover. Expect partly to mostly cloudy skies with light NE winds and cooler temperatures compared to yesterday. Highs will be mainly in the 60s to around 70 except cooler near the coast and a bit warmer over our eastern MD counties in Delmarva since this will be closer to the front. The cooler temperatures will result in humidity levels being higher than today along with lighter winds so we don't expect there to be fire weather concerns. KEY MESSAGE 2...A low pressure system will pass through the region this weekend with widespread showers and seasonably chilly temperatures. A high pressure system to the north in eastern Canada will extend down into the northeast this weekend. As a result, winds will be out of the east on Saturday and then turn more out of the northeast Sunday. This onshore flow will help keep temperatures on the chillier side through the weekend. Highs on Saturday will be in the mid 40s to upper 50s for most. On Sunday, highs are in the 50s. During the weekend, a low pressure system will move into the region Saturday and then offshore Sunday. This low pressure system will bring rain showers to the area through the weekend. The most widespread coverage of the rain showers looks to be Saturday into Saturday night. Showers taper off through Sunday morning with perhaps a lingering shower into Sunday afternoon near the coast. Our weekend is shaping up to be wet, breezy, and chilly, especially Saturday. Rainfall totals this weekend, from Friday night through Sunday, will range from around 1 to 1.50 inches across much of the area. While this may be unpleasant, especially since it will be over the weekend, it is good to remember that this is a beneficial rainfall. Temperatures then start to moderate for the beginning and middle of next week. Our next system arrives for Tuesday through Thursday bringing more rain showers to the area. && .AVIATION /12Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas. Today...VFR with BKN mid/high-level clouds at times.

Showers possible in the evening will be more likely toward dawn. Winds southeast, shifting east, 5-10 kts. Moderate confidence. Outlook... Saturday through Saturday night...Sub-VFR conditions in SHRA, patchy fog, and low stratus. Sunday...Lingering sub-VFR conds in SHRA/stratus in the morning. Gradual improvement through the afternoon and evening. Sunday night through Monday night...VFR. No significant weather. Tuesday through Wednesday...Sub-VFR conditions in SHRA/stratus. && .MARINE... Sub-Small Craft Advisory conditions through tonight. Winds will generally be around 10 knots or less with seas generally 2 to 4 feet through tonight. Outlook... Saturday through Sunday night...SCA conditions will develop on Saturday with 15 to 20 kt winds with 25 to 30 kt gusts and seas 6 to 8 ft. Gale force wind gusts, mainly on the Atlantic ocean waters, look to develop late Saturday night through early Sunday evening with seas of 6-10 feet. Winds look to drop to SCA criteria Sunday night with seas remaining at 6-8 feet. VSBY restrictions in rain and fog. Monday through Monday night...SCA conditions likely Monday due to seas of 5-7 feet. Lingering SCA conditions early Monday night due to seas of 3-5 feet before diminishing to 2-4 feet through the night. Winds Monday night are out of the NE at 10-15 kt.
