Coastal Flood in Delaware, April 15 to 16, 2007
The combination of the fresh water run-off and the onshore flow associated with the nor'easter caused minor tidal flooding at the time of high tide along tidal sections of the Delaware River and its tributaries overnight on the 15th. This also slowed the run-off of streams, creeks and rivers that empty into the Delaware River.

.OVERVIEW...
IT IS NEVER A GOOD SIGN TO GET ONES NORMAL MONTHLY RAINFALL IN ONE
DAY. UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS OCCURRING ACRS OUR CWA TDY. FLOOD WATCHES
WILL BE CONTD. CSTL FLOOD WARNINGS WILL BE CONTD. THE WIND ADVY ALG
THE CST WILL BE CONTD N OF OCEAN COUNTY. WIND ADVYS ARE NOW IN
EFFECT FOR ALL OUR CWA EXCEPT FOR NRN NJ FOR MON. WE WILL ALSO ISSUE
A SNOW ADVY FOR THE HIER TRRN OF THE POCONOS. ITS GOING TO BE A
WHILE TO GET THIS SYSTEM OUT OF HERE AS IT GETS VERTICALLY STACKED
AND CAPTURED BY THE DVLPG CLOSED LOW ALF. SO WRAPAROUND PCPN IS
EXPECTED TO CONT ESP N ON MON WITH LESSER CHCS IN THE CYCLONIC
CIRCULATION EVERY DAY INTO THU. WEATHER EXPECTED TO IMPROVE TWD AND
INTO NEXT WEEKEND AS TEMPS FINALLY GET CLOSER TO SEASONAL LVLS. NOT
ANY INIT ISSUES BTWN THE GFS AND WRF-NMM. THE WRF-NMM INIT LOOKS
SLIGHTLY BETTER, BUT THE 6HR GFS FCST OMEGA FIELDS ARE MATCHING THE
ONGOING PCPN BETTER.ALSO THE SLIGHTLY OFSHR SOLN LOOKS BETTER FOR
THE GFS GIVEN THE INSITU COOL AIR DAMMING IN PLACE AND THE FAILURE
OF THE CSTL FNT TO MAKE ANY INROADS INTO NJ. LASTLY THE SLOWER 6HR
GFS SFC POSN WAS BETTER THAN THE WRF-NMM.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
BY 8 PM THIS EVE THERE IS PRETTY GOOD MDL AGREEMENT THAT THE
SYNOPTIC SCALE WAA/ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL BE CONFINED TO THE NRN PART
OF OUR CWA. NONE OF THE MDLS ARE HAVING A GOOD HANDLE OF ONGOING
CONVECTION/PCPN IN VA. WE WILL CONT THE FLOOD WATCH AT THER LEAST
ACRS OUR CWA UNTIL THIS BATCH OF CONVECTIVE INDUCED PCPN GETS E OF
OUR CWA. THERE IS A BIG DIF BTWN THE WRF-NMM AND THE GFS AS TO HOW
FAR INTO NJ CONVECTION GETS THIS EVE. LIKE THE WAY WE ARE FCSTG IT
CURRENTLY SINCE WE DONT THINK IT CAN BACK AS FAR W AS THE GFS
(FCSTD S.I, BLO ZERO) HAS IT. MDLS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT
LOW WILL BE CAPTURED TWD MON MRNG AT WHICH TIME THE HVYR PCPN
PRODUCTION WILL STOP IN OUR CWA. THE NRN TIER OF OUR CWA WILL REMAIN
IN THE FCSTD WAA/ISENTROPIC LIFT AREA AND WE WILL CONT THE HVYST
PCPN THERE. THE POCONOS REMAIN TRICKY AS THE COMBINATION OF
WRAPAROUND PCPN, COLDER AIR MOVG IN NEAR THE SFC AND DYNAMIC COOLING
SHLD CHANGE THE PCPN OVER TO SNOW. THUS WE WILL CHANGE THE WINT
STORM WATCH TO A WINTER WX ADVY (ECAUSE OF THE INCRG WINDS). THIS
WOULD BE A TERRAIN DRIVEN EVENT WITH THE GREATEST ACCUMS ON THE
POCONO PLATEAU. ELSW NRN NJ LOOKS LIKE THEY WILL BE CLOSER TO THE
WARM CORE AND LESS SNOW IS EXPECTED. FARTHER TO THE SE, PCPN
INTENSITY WILL BECOME LESS AND WHL H8 TEMPS ARE FCSTD TO GET FAIRLY
COLD, LLVL THICK BLO 850MB REMAIN PRETTY MUCH WARM ENUF FOR RAIN.
WE/LL LEAVE MNTN OF A MIXTURE IN, BUT WILL INCLUDE NO ACCUMS AS IT
SHLD MELT AS IT FALLS. LASTLY WE WILL END THE WIND ADVY ALG THE
COAST WHERE THE GRAD HAS WEAKEND, BUT CONT IT TWD NYC.
THERE HAS BEEN A SLOW SWD DRIFT TO THE MDLS AS TO HOW FAR N THE LOW
PRES GETS BEFORE IT DOES ITS CYCLONIC LOOP. WITH THE SWD TREND, THIS
INCREASES THE DURATION OF STEADIER WRAPAROUND PCPN INTO OUR CWA INTO
MON EVEN IF ITS LIGHTER. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THE WINT WX ADVY
EXPIRE AT NOON. COMBO OF DAYTIME AND LIGHTER PCPN INTENSITY. WE WILL
ALSO BE ISSUING A WIND ADVY FOR MOST OF OUR CWA (EXCEPT FOR NRN NJ)
AS GRAD WILL BE TIGHTENING ON MON. CUR BELIEF IS THAT PEAK WIND
GUSTS MIGHT FALL A BIT SHORT BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF THE ISALLOBARIC
SURGE AND A NON ADIABATIC LAPSE RATE. BUT..THE HEAVY RAIN WILL
LOOSEN THE SOIL AND WILL MAKE IT MUCH EASIER TO PUSH OVER SHALLOW
ROOTED TREES. IT IS CONCEIVABLE TO GET ADVY TYPE WIND DAMAGE WITH
PSBLY LESS THAN ADVY WINDS. LASTLY THE POCONOS HAVE THE ADDED
COMPLICATION OF SNOW ON THE TREE LIMBS.
REALLY NO END TO THE SHORT WAVES IN THE CYCLONIC CIRCULATION ALF,
JUST AN OLDER, BEST DAYS BEHIND IT LOW PRES SYS MEANDERING OFSHR MON
NGT AND TUE. WE WILL STILL HAVE THE CYCLONIC CIRCULATION ALOFT WITH
SHRT WAVES PASSING THRU OUR CWA. THIS WILL CONT MON NGT INTO TUE
NGT. ONLY THOUGHT IS THAT PCPN CHCS WILL DECR AS EACH FCST PERIOD
PASSES. THICK CONSIDERATION SUGG SOME ADTNL SNOW IN THE POCONOS AND
NW NJ (1-2) AND A MIXTURE THE NEXT TIER OR TWO SEWD.
WE WILL TAKE A MOS DATASET COMP THRUT THE FCST PERIOD.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A GENERALLY TRANQUIL FCST PERIOD IS EXPECTED WITH A GRADUAL RETURN
TO NEAR NROMAL TEMPS AND NOT MUCH PCPN. A SHORT WAVE COULD TOUCH OFF
SOME LIGHT SHOWERS WED NGT INTO THU NGT. THERE IS GREATER MDL
CONSENSUS FOR WED NGT OR THU SO WE KEPT A SLGT CHC GOING BUT LEFT
THU NGT DRY. RIDGING SFC AND ALF EDGES EWD AND IS FCST TO BECOME
ESTABLISHED BY FRI NGT. SO PCPN CHCS WILL DECREASE AS WE EDGE INTO
THE WEEKEND. ATTM NEXT WEEKEND LOOKS LIKE THE OPPOSITE OF THE CUR
WEEKEND WITH A LARGE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM TO OUR S THAT SHLD
MAINTAIN FAIR WX AND GIVE US OUR WARMEST DAYS SINCE THE START OF THE
MONTH.
&&
.AVIATION...
AS THE DEVELOPING STORM MOVES NORTH, THE RAIN WILL BECOME LIGHTER
AND MORE INTERMITTENT OVERNIGHT. IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS WILL GRADUALLY
BECOME MVFR BY OR AROUND MIDNIGHT AND THEN VFR TOWARD DAYBREAK.
AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS, WITH
EMBEDDED CONVECTION SOUTH AND EAST OF ILG-PHL-TTN. EVEN AS THE
RAIN TAPERS OFF OVERNIGHT, SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE AND MAY LOWER
CONDITIONS TO MVFR/IFR AT TIMES.
&&
.MARINE...
GALE FORCE WINDS CONTINUE OVER OUR OCEAN WATERS THIS AFTERNOON
AHEAD OF THE DEVELOPING STORM. A FEW GALE FORCE GUSTS HAVE
WORKED THEIR WAY INTO THE LOWER DELAWARE BAY, BUT HAVE NOT
REACHED THE UPPER BAY. THE LOW WILL BE MOVING OFF THE MID
ATLANTIC COAST THIS EVENING AND THEN HEAD UP THE COAST TO A
POSITION JUST SOUTH OF NEW YORK CITY LATE TONIGHT AND INTO
SOUTHEASTERN NEW YORK STATE SHORTLY AFTER DAYBREAK MONDAY.
IT WILL THEN DO A COUNTERCLOCKWISE LOOP AND HEAD SOUTHEAST
BACK OVER THE ATLANTIC SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND MONDAY EVENING.
WITH THE LOW ACTUALLY OVER OUR AREA TONIGHT, WINDS WILL VARY
GREATLY, BOTH IN DIRECTION AND SPEEDS. FOR SIMPLICITY SAKE,
WE WILL KEEP THE GALE WARNING IN EFFECT FOR OUR ENTIRE AREA.
SINCE THE LOW WILL STILL BE VERY CLOSE TO OUR AREA MONDAY NIGHT,
WE WILL EXTEND THE GALE WARNINGS THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. DEPENDING
ON THE SPEED AT WHICH IT MOVES AWAY FROM THE COAST, THE WARNINGS
MAY NEED TO BE EXTENDED INTO OR THROUGH TUESDAY, BUT WE STILL
HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO REVISIT THAT.
&&
.TIDES...
THE COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT, BUT WILL BE BROKEN
INTO 3 SEPARATE AREAS. THE FIRST AREA WILL CONSIST OF THE OCEANFRONT
FROM LITTLE EGG INLET SOUTH AND DELAWARE BAY WHERE MINOR TO
MODERATE FLOODING WILL OCCUR WITH THIS EVENINGS HIGH TIDE CYCLE.
THIS WARNING WILL EXPIRE AT 2 AM EDT. THE SECOND AREA WILL BE THE
TIDAL DELAWARE RIVER WHERE MINOR TO MODERATE FLOODING WILL OCCUR
AS THE HIGH TIDES MOVE UP THE RIVER EARLY TONIGHT. HIGH TIDE AT
PHILADELPHIA IS AT 1:16 AM EDT. THIS WARNING WILL EXPIRE AT 5 AM EDT.
THE EXTRA TIME WILL ALLOW THE FLOOD WATERS TO RECEDE. THE THIRD AREA
IS OUR OCEAN WATERS NORTH OF LITTLE EGG INLET AND RARITAN BAY WHERE
MODERATE FLOODING IS EXPECTED WITH THIS EVENINGS HIGH TIDE AND
MINOR TO MODERATE FLOODING COULD OCCUR WITH THE HIGH TIDE CYCLE
MONDAY MORNING. THIS WARNING WILL EXPIRE AT 10 AM EDT MONDAY.
ONCE THE STORM MOVES NORTH OF OUR REGION, MAKES ITS LOOP, AND HEADS
OUT TO SEA THE THREAT OF FLOODING WILL DIMINISH. W TO NW WINDS ON
THE BACKSIDE OF THE SYSTEM WILL INCREASE BACK TO GALE FORCE AND
COULD POSSIBLY PRODUCE BLOWOUT CONDITIONS LATER MONDAY INTO TUESDAY.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
THE FLOOD WATCH WILL BE CONTD AND WE ADDED THE POCONOS TIL THE PCPN
CHAGES TO SNOW. MANY FLOOD WARNINGS HAVE ALRDY BEEN ISSUED AND
PLEASE REFER TO OUR STATEMENTS AND AHPS PAGE FOR THE LATEST
INFORMATION. ONE WAY TO KEEP INFORMED OF EXISTING AND FORECAST
CONDITIONS ON WATERWAYS THROUGHOUT THE REGION IS TO MONITOR THE
ADVANCED HYDROLOGIC PREDICTION SERVICE /AHPS/ AVAILABLE ON OUR
HOMEPAGE AT WWW.WEATHER.GOV/PHI. JUST CLICK THE AHPS ICON ON THE
LEFT HAND MENU. BEYOND 8 PM TONIGHT ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS
S/B LESS THAN ONE INCH. ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS INTO MON AND TUE FOR EACH
CALENDAR DAY SHOULD AVG LESS THAN A QUARTER OF AN INCH BASINWIDE
WITH THE HIGHEST AMTS N. THE GOOD NEWS BEYOND THAT IS NO SGFCNT PCPN
IS EXPECTED AND WITH THE TREES CONTG THEIR BLOOMING PROCESS WILL
HELP US START TO DRY OURSELVES OUT.
