Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
222 PM EDT Wed May 20 2026

.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
Severe Thunderstorm Watch issued until 9 PM for our entire area.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...
1. Hot and humid with record setting early season heat will end by
this evening.

2. Severe Thunderstorm Watch in effect until 9 PM this evening for
our entire area.

3. Significantly cooler temperatures and several rounds of showers
for the end of this week and the holiday weekend.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Hot and humid with record setting early season heat
will end by this evening.

A strong cold front will arrive this evening which will end this
stretch of hot conditions and record heat. Temperatures in the 90s
for many areas again this afternoon, except cooler along the coasts
and the higher terrain. While the surface dew points have mixed out
some this afternoon with significant heating of the boundary layer,
this stretch of early season heat will still have potentially
greater impacts. Peak heat indices of 95-100 degrees this afternoon,
however as more clouds develop and convection starts to arrive from
the west and southwest by early evening, areas of significant
cooling will start to take place. The Heat Advisory continues for
now through 8 PM this evening although we might be able to cancel it
early depending how quick and widespread the cooling is due to
showers and thunderstorms.

KEY MESSAGE 2...Severe Thunderstorm Watch in effect until 9 PM this
evening for our entire area.

A strong cold front will settle across our area late this afternoon
and this evening before stalling near Delmarva into Thursday.
Showers and thunderstorms are expected ahead of and with the front.
Instability continues to increase with MLCAPE values of 1000-1500
J/kg and SBCAPE of 1500-2500 J/kg. This will help to intensify some
of the convection as it arrives from the west. The deep-layer shear
is on the marginal side though (strongest shear to our northwest) as
are the mid level lapse rates, however a hot well-mixed boundary
layer is resulting in rather steep low-level lapse rates (DCAPE
values up to 1300 J/kg!). The combination of the steep low-level
lapse rates and any stronger/organized convective cores should
locally enhance the damaging wind (downburst) threat.

Despite the lower shear, convection should still organize some given
ample instability and the hot air mass in place. Some clustering may
tend to occur with some guidance also hinting at some bowing
segments. The primary severe weather threat from thunderstorms
should be damaging downburst winds given the low-level inverted-V
profile in the model soundings. These soundings also show that cloud
tops could extend upwards of 40,000 feet therefore some hail is
possible. Much of our region is within a level 2 out of 5 from SPC
(Slight Risk) for severe thunderstorms. The main timeframe looks to
be between 4 PM to 9 PM. General rainfall totals are 0.10-0.50
inches, however given precipitable water values of 1.5-2.0 inches,
localized higher amounts are likely with any stronger showers or
thunderstorms. Any thunderstorms should end by late this evening,
with some showers lingering in the wake of the cold front. It will
turn noticeably cooler tonight as the winds becoming northerly.

KEY MESSAGE 3...Significantly cooler temperatures and several rounds
of showers for the end of this week and the holiday weekend.

A cold front will settle and stall to our south as we get into the
holiday weekend. Some ripples of energy ride along and north of it
and this looks to bring some rounds of showers to our region. A more
organized surface low well to our west may provide an increase in
showers or a period of rain later Friday and Saturday. The
precipitation may become enhanced some as surface high pressure to
our northeast wedges southwestward into our area creating some cool
air damming. Furthermore, with PWAT values around 1.50-1.90 inches
over the weekend, which is around the climatological maximum for
this time of the year, there is at least a marginal chance for
excessive rainfall on Saturday. We will be keeping an eye on how
strong the baroclinic forcing gets along the stalled boundary wedged
between the high to the northeast and the low to the west.
Northeast flow along with several rounds of showers will all result
in much cooler temperatures Thursday through Saturday, then some
warming should take place Sunday and into Memorial Day. The pattern
looks active though and therefore some additional showers are quite
possible right into Memorial Day. While not great timing for the
holiday weekend and unofficial start of summer, our region needs
rain as a long-term drought continues.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.

This afternoon...VFR overall with increasing clouds. Some showers
and thunderstorms arrive from the west between 19-22z with areas
of sub- VFR conditions. Locally gusty winds, 30-40 knots, with
any stronger thunderstorms. Winds varying from west- northwest
to west- southwest 8-15 knots with some gusts to 20 knots. Low
confidence on the timing details.

Tonight...A period of MVFR/IFR conditions with showers and
thunderstorms this evening, then some lingering showers may also
contribute to sub-VFR conditions overnight. Northwest winds becoming
north-northeast mainly 10 knots or less. Low confidence.

Thursday...A period of sub-VFR conditions with some showers.
Northeast winds 8-12 knots, with some local gusts to 20 knots
especially at KACY. Low confidence.

Outlook...

Thursday Night through Monday...An unsettled pattern takes over with
periods of MVFR/IFR conditions expected with several rounds of rain
showers. Most widespread restrictions look to come Saturday and
Saturday Night though the entire period likely will feature showers
and low clouds with perhaps sporadic stretches of VFR if ceilings
lift a bit.

&&

.MARINE...
Southerly winds to 20 knots this afternoon will diminish this
evening and becoming west and northwest, then north to northeast on
Thursday. The northeast flow increases during Thursday and with a
much cooler air mass moving in the mixing should become more
efficient over the chilly ocean water. Seas will also build during
Thursday. Opted to issue a Small Craft Advisory for Thursday
afternoon for all waters except for the waters off Monmouth County
and the upper Delaware Bay. Some thunderstorms could be strong
enough this evening to warrant the issuance of Special Marine
Warnings.

Outlook...

Thursday Night through Friday...A Small Craft Advisory is in effect
for ocean zones south of Manasquan Inlet and the lower Delaware Bay
as periods of 25-30 kt winds and seas nearing 5 feet are expected.
Sub-SCA conditions expected on the upper Delaware Bay and coastal
waters north of Manasquan Inlet.

Friday Night through Monday...SCA conditions expected with seas of 4
to 7 feet and periods of 25-30 kt winds, mainly on Saturday.

Rip Currents...

This afternoon, south to southwest winds will range from 10 to
15 mph with gusts up to 20 mph. There will be a southeast swell
with a period around 6 seconds. As a result, there is a MODERATE
risk for the development of dangerous rip currents for the
Jersey Shore and a LOW risk for Delaware Beaches.

On Thursday, winds become northeast 10 to 15 mph at the Jersey
Shore in Monmouth County, and 15 to 20 mph at the rest of the
Jersey Shore and at Delaware Beaches. There will be a southerly
swell with a period around 6 seconds. Breaking waves will be 1
to 3 feet. As a result, there is a LOW risk for the development
of dangerous rip currents at the Jersey Shore in Monmouth
County and a MODERATE risk for the rest of the Jersey Shore and
Delaware Beaches.

Surface temperatures inland will be in the 90s again today, and
temperatures along the coasts will mainly be in the 70s to near
80 due to ocean temperatures in the 50s. These cold water
temperatures can quickly cause hypothermia and physical
incapacitation to anyone suddenly immersed in the water.
