AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
915 PM EDT SUN JUL 2 2006

.SHORT TERM /REST OF TONIGHT/...
WHAT AN EVENING THE CAPE WON OUT AND SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FORMED
INTO LINES. NICE CALL SPC

TO ALL USERS, OUR TELEPHONES ARE HAVING PROBLEMS, BOTH WITH
INCOMING AND OUTGOING CALLS. WE ARE NOT SURE WHEN PHONE SERVICE
WILL RESUME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.

PER THE WEATHER, THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE WEAKENED AND MOVED
OUT OF THE WATCH AREA, THEREFORE THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS
BEEN CANCELED.

MORE TSTMS STILL APPEAR TO BE DEVELOPING IN OHIO AND THESE COULD
SPREAD BACK OVER THE FORECAST AREA BY MORNING. THEREFORE, I KEPT
IN A CHC ALL AREAS OVERNIGHT.

GRIDS HAVE BEEN UPDATED TO REFLECT CURRENT CONDITIONS.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
 /ISSUED 430 PM EDT SUN JUL 2 2006/

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AT 4:30 PM, A FAIR AMOUNT OF TSTM ACTIVITY EXTENDED DIAGONALLY FROM
NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA.  SOME OF THE PRECIP
SHOULD BEGIN TO MOVE INTO THE POCONO REGION BY 5:00 PM, AND INTO
BERKS COUNTY AND THE LEHIGH VALLEY SHORTLY THEREAFTER.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH NUMBER 573 IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11:00 PM FOR
ALL OF OUR COUNTIES IN EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW JERSEY.  IT ALSO
INCLUDES CECIL COUNTY IN MARYLAND AND NEW CASTLE COUNTY IN DELAWARE.

THE BATCH OF STRONG TO SEVERE TSTMS SHOULD MOVE THROUGH OUR REGION
THIS EVENING.  HOWEVER, SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSTMS MAY LINGER INTO
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL CONTINUE FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY.  ON BOTH
DAYS, TEMPS WILL BE NEAR 90 OR IN THE LOWER 90S IN MUCH OF OUR
FORECAST AREA.  HEAT INDEX VALUES SHOULD PEAK IN THE MIDDLE 90S ON
BOTH DAYS.

THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY COMBINED WITH ANY LINGERING BOUNDARIES FROM
TODAYS CONVECTION WILL CREATE ANOTHER CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND TSTMS
ON MONDAY, MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON.  HOWEVER, THERE MAY BE A LITTLE
LESS SUPPORT IN THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE FOR ANY
ORGANIZED STRONG CONVECTION AT THAT TIME.

TUESDAY LOOKS AS THOUGH IT WILL BRING ANOTHER CHANCE FOR ORGANIZED
STRONG TO SEVERE TSTM ACTIVITY WITH A FAIRLY ROBUST MID LEVEL SHORT
WAVE PASSING OVERHEAD AND A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE
NORTHWEST.

THE COLD FRONT WILL BE SLOW TO MOVE THROUGH OUR REGION AND WEVE
INCLUDED A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND TSTMS AGAIN FOR WEDNESDAY.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO SINK TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF OUR
REGION DURING WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY.  HIGH PRESSURE IS
FORECAST TO BUILD DOWN FROM THE NORTHWEST RESULTING IN COOLER AND
LESS HUMID AIR FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.  THE AIR MASS SHOULD BEGIN
TO MODIFY A BIT DURING NEXT WEEKEND WITH TEMPS CREEPING BACK UP AND
CLOSE TO 90.

AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY, EXCEPT IN ANY TSTMS
THAT FORM.  WITHIN THE STRONGEST TSTMS IFR AND PSBL LIFR CONDITIONS
MAY DEVELOP WITH POSSIBLE DAMAGING WINDS.  THESE THUNDERSTORMS LOOK
TO BE MOST LIKELY IN THE PERIOD FROM 21Z TO 02Z.  LATE TONIGHT, SOME
MVFR VSBYS WILL PROBABLY DEVELOP AND CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS.  IF RAIN FALLS OVER THE REST OF THE TAF SITES, THEN MVFR AND
PSBLY IFR CONDITIONS COULD DEVELOP.  ON MONDAY AFTERNOON, MORE TSTMS
ARE POSSIBLE.

MARINE...
WINDS HAVE REMAINED BELOW 25 KT AND SEAS BELOW 5 FT.  THESE
CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO CONTINUE THROUGH MID WEEK.  EACH DAY,
SEABREEZES SHOULD FORM, OTHERWISE WINDS ARE SW UNTIL THE COLD FRONT
COMES THROUGH FROM THE NW WED AFTERNOON OR NIGHT.
