NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 17, 1:12 PM EST, 33 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ 212 PM EDT FRI AUG 17 2007 .SYNOPSIS... A COLD FRONT ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY MAY TRY AND LIFT BACK NORTHWARD SOME THROUGH THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON. LOW PRESSURE ALOFT, IN THE FORM OF A MID LEVEL TROF, WILL PUSH ACROSS THE NORTHEASTERN STATES TONIGHT. AS THIS OCCURS, OUR PESKY SURFACE FRONT WILL BE PUSHED OFFSHORE. CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD ACROSS THE NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC ON SATURDAY AND BEGIN TO DRIFT OFF THE COAST ON SUNDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW A WARM FRONT TO APPROACH US FROM THE SOUTHWEST ON SUNDAY NIGHT. AT THE MOMENT, IT APPEARS THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN ACROSS OR IN THE VICINITY OF OUR AREA THROUGH TUESDAY. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... AN UPDATE HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 612, WHICH IS EFFECT FOR A GOOD PART OF THE CWA UNTIL 8 PM. A COLD FRONT DROPPED INTO OUR AREA EARLY THIS MORNING AND HAS STALLED THIS AFTERNOON, WITH SIGNS OF IT TRYING TO RETREAT BACK NORTHWARD. THIS IS EVIDENT IN THE WINDS BECOMING MORE SOUTHERLY ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA AND DEW POINTS ON THEIR WAY UPWARD AFTER A QUICK DROP EARLIER NORTH AND EAST OF PHILADELPHIA. A SHORT WAVE TROUGH IS APPROACHING THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL MOVE ACROSS THE CWA TONIGHT. THE AIR MASS CONTINUES TO DESTABILIZE ACROSS EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AS VEERING SURFACE WINDS ADVECT HIGHER MOISTURE CONTENT AIR NORTHEASTWARD AHEAD OF A WEAK SURFACE LOW, LEADING TO MLCAPE OF 1000-1500 J/KG. STRONG WESTERLY MID LEVEL WINDS ARE CONTRIBUTING TO DEEP LAYER SHEAR OF 40 TO 50 KNOTS, WHICH IS SUPPORTIVE OF SEVERE STORMS INCLUDING ISOLATED SUPERCELLS. STORMS MAKING THEIR WAY INTO THE WESTERN PART OF OUR CWA HAVE BEEN SHOWING SOME ROTATION ON DOPPLER RADAR VELOCITY DATA. LCL HEIGHTS MAY BE A BIT TO HIGH DUE TO A FAIRLY DECENT TEMPERATURE-DEW POINT SPREAD, HOWEVER AN ISOLATED TORNADO IS POSSIBLE AS STORMS MAY TEND TO TURN MORE SOUTHEASTWARD AND ROTATION ALOFT COULD WORK ITS WAY DOWNWARD FOR A BRIEF TIME. THE PRIMARY THREATS HOWEVER ARE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WILL ALSO ACCOMPANY THE STORMS. WE INCLUDED DAMAGING WINDS, HEAVY RAIN, AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING IN THE GRIDDED DATABASE AND TEXT FOR ALL ZONES INCLUDED IN THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH. WE MADE A FEW TWEAKS TO THE HOURLY GRIDS AS WELL BASED ON CURRENT CONDITIONS, AND BUMPED UP THE POPS SOME ACROSS THE NORTHWEST ZONES. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/... AFTER THE FRONT GETS KICKED OUT OF HERE TONIGHT, REFRESHING CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE ACROSS THE REGION. PLENTY OF SUN CAN BE EXPECTED ON SATURDAY WITH BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND LESS HUMIDITY. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... FOLLOWED HPC GUIDANCE. MOISTURE SLOWLY WORKS BACK INTO THE AREA FOR LATE SUNDAY INTO NEXT WEEK AS A WARM FRONT SLOWLY ADVANCES INTO AND EVENTUALLY THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA. && .AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... WITH THE DRY AIR COMING DOWN FROM THE NORTH, THE ONLY TAF SITES THAT MIGHT SEE A TSTM WOULD BE ILG/ACY/MIV, ALTHOUGH THERE IS STILL A SLIM CHC OF SEEING ONE AT PHL/PNE. CURRENT FCST TAFS ARE GENLY VFR AND IF TSTMS FORM, THE TAFS WILL BE UPDATED TO REFLECT THEIR LOCATIONS AND EXPECTED MVMT. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT INTO THE AFTN WITH SOME NE FLOW AT PHL/PNE/TTN DUE TO THE PIECE OF DRY AIR THE CAME DOWN FROM NE NJ AND AS SUPPORTED BY MDCRS DATA AT PHL. AS THE DAY PROGRESSES, I EXPECT THIS FLOW TO SHIFT MORE TO THE W OR NW AS THE BLYR FLOW MIXES WITH WINDS FROM ALFT. TONIGHT...VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUED AS THE COOLER AIR FINALLY SURGES INTO THE REGION. HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD DOWN FROM THE NORTHWEST FOR THE WEEKEND. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS FORECAST TO APPROACH FROM THE SOUTHWEST EARLY IN THE NEW WEEK AND IT MAY BRING SOME PRECIP FOR SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. && .MARINE... A COLD FRONT EXTENDED FROM NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND TO THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES REGION DURING THE NIGHT. THE FRONT WILL SINK TO THE SOUTH AND IT SHOULD MOVE ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS OF NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE TONIGHT. UNTIL THAT TIME, A WEST TO SOUTHWEST WIND MAY BACK TO THE SOUTH DURING THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE SHIFTING TO THE NORTHWEST OR NORTH TONIGHT. WIND SPEEDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN THE 10 TO 20 KNOT RANGE FOR THE MOST PART. HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD DOWN BEHIND THE FRONT FOR THE WEEKEND. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS FORECAST TO APPROACH FROM THE SOUTHWEST EARLY IN THE NEW WEEK RESULTING IN AN EAST TO SOUTHEAST FLOW. && .PHI WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...NONE. NJ...NONE. DE...NONE.
