Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
255 PM EDT Fri Jun 5 2026

.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
Increasing confidence in the warming trend next week.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...
1. High pressure keeps the area dry through into much of
Saturday.

2. A cold front will cross the area Saturday Night, bringing
scattered showers and thunderstorms, a few of which could be
strong to severe.

3. Mainly dry next week with gradually warming temperatures
through the week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...High pressure keeps the area dry through into
much of Saturday.

High pressure over the Appalachians will slide off the Mid-
Atlantic coast this evening. It'll remain off the Southeast and
Middle Atlantic coasts into Saturday.

Very warn but rather dry conditions will continue through the
evening as warm air advection and a strong sun angle contribute
to excellent radiational warming. It will remain warm and become
more muggy tonight with lows in the 60s.

Continued warm with similar high temperatures on Saturday, though
dew points will begin to creep up into the upper 50s and low 60s
in the afternoon, resulting in slightly higher max heat index values.

KEY MESSAGE 2...A cold front will cross the area Saturday
Night, bringing scattered showers and thunderstorms, a few of
which could be strong to severe.

The summer-like pattern breaks with a cold front coming through
late Saturday Night/early Sunday morning. Showers and thunderstorms
are expected to form out to the west along the front and move
towards our area. Daytime Saturday looks mainly dry but Saturday
night looks to be at least somewhat active.

The latest SPC severe weather outlook (as of 2PM Friday) shows
that most areas North/West of I-95 have a Slight risk for
severe weather on Saturday. Areas just to the S/E of the Slight
risk (including south NJ and Philly metro areas) have a
Marginal risk for severe weather. Lastly, our Delmarva areas
have just a general risk for tstms. For severe areas, Hail and
Damaging winds appear to be the main threats. The timing for the
strongest storms looks to be mid/late afternoon for the NW areas
and closer to sunset for the Delaware Valley and areas S/E of
that.

Any convection will weaken as the night goes on, limiting the severe
risk for areas over the coastal plains. Guidance continues to
depict paltry QPF amounts. This is a bit problematic given that
this is the only real chance for measurable precipitation over
the next 7 days and all four states in our CWA have either a
Drought Watch or Drought Warning. Current QPF for areas
north/west of the I-95 corridor is around a tenth to a quarter
of an inch with higher amounts in any thunderstorms. It isn't
much but its at least something. Some areas may not see any
measurable precipitation with this frontal passage.

Showers could linger along the coast into Sunday but should clear
out once a secondary front passes later Sunday. It should mainly
be dry to close out the weekend though.

KEY MESSAGE 3...Mainly dry next week with gradually warming
temperatures through the week.

High pressure moves in from the north in the wake of the front,
resulting in cooler temperatures in the 70s and 80s to start
next week.

There is increasing confidence in another stretch of above
normal temperatures during the second half of next week as that
area of high pressure slides offshore, with southerly return
flow setting up. The heat will be the main thing to watch with
the forecast for the latter half of next week, though there are
some low precipitation chances as well. Details will come into
focus over the next few days.

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

Tonight...VFR. S to SW winds 5 kt or less. High confidence.

Saturday... VFR. Southwesterly wind gusts around 20-25 kt.

Outlook...

Saturday Night through Sunday Morning...Sub-VFR conditions likely
with scattered showers and thunderstorms moving through.

&&

.MARINE...
Sub-Small Craft Advisory conditions continue tonight and Saturday
morning. West to southwest winds 10 to 15 kt with gusts up to 20
kt the rest of the afternoon and tonight. Seas 2 to 3 feet tonight
then, building closer to 4 feet Saturday.

For Saturday afternoon, a SCA flag was raised as winds will increase
closer to 15 to 20 kts with gusts closer to 25 kts. Seas will build
closer to 5ft. Fair weather into the evening.

Outlook...

Saturday Night...SCA conditions across the northern waters but remaining
just below for the DE and off srn NJ waters. Showers and a few tstms
overnight but then diminishing by Sunday morning.

Sunday through Tuesday...No marine headlines expected.

Rip Currents...

Rest of today, southwest winds around 10 mph will turn to the
south at 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 20 mph. Breaking waves
will be 1 to 3 feet with a light southeast swell around 8
seconds. As a result, there is a LOW risk for the development of
dangerous and life threatening rip currents for the Jersey
Shore and Delaware Beaches.

On Saturday, winds will be slightly more southwest at 10 to 15
mph with gusts up to 20 mph. Breaking waves will be 2 to 3 feet
with a light easterly swell around 8 seconds. This results in a
MODERATE risk for the development of dangerous and life
threatening rip currents at the Jersey Shore and a LOW risk at
Delaware Beaches.

Ocean water temperatures are in the upper 50s to low 60s. These
chilly water temperatures can quickly cause hypothermia and
physical incapacitation to anyone suddenly immersed in the
water.
