AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
503 PM EDT TUE JUN 12 2007
.SYNOPSIS...
THE AREA WILL REMAIN SANDWICHED IN BETWEEN AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
LOCATED ABOUT 550 MILES EAST OF THE NEW JERSEY COAST, AND AN AREA
OF HIGH PRESSURE LOCATED NEAR THE GREAT LAKES REGION. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO SLOWLY MOVE INTO THE AREA OVERNIGHT
WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY AND REMAIN ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH
SATURDAY. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA SUNDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 386 HAS BEEN ISSUED AND REMAINS IN
EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM THIS EVENING, PLEASE REFER TO THE LATEST WATCH
STATEMENT FOR COUNTIES LISTED IN THE WATCH. NUMEROUS STRONG TO
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA, AND
WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. CAPE VALUES
ARE GENERALLY AROUND 1000 J/KG, WITH ISOLATED AREAS NEARING 1500 J/KG.
THIS INSTABILITY, COMBINED WITH SHEAR VALUES ON THE ORDER OF 25 TO
30 KT, STRONG STORMS PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS HAVE
DEVELOPED ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
SHOULD BEGIN TO DIMINISH IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY AS THE NIGHT
PROGRESSES AND WE LOOSE DAYTIME HEATING. AS THE SUN SETS AND WE GO
THROUGH THE NIGHT, THE INSTABILITY IS FORECAST TO DIMINISH, SO THE
THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER SHOULD AS WELL. NEVERTHELESS, THERE IS
STILL THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS WE CONTINUE
THROUGH THE NIGHT.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
WEDNESDAY LOOKS LIKE IT SHOULD BE MUCH QUIETER THAN TODAY AS
INSTABILITY IS FORECAST TO BE MUCH LESS. THERE WILL STILL BE A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS SEVERAL WEAK VORT MAXES
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA, BUT WITHOUT THE STRONG INSTABILITY,
STORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE AS STRONG AS THEY WERE TODAY.
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO BUILD IN FROM THE NORTH
OVERNIGHT WEDNESDAY AND INTO THURSDAY, AND LAST THROUGH FRIDAY.
COOLER AIR IS FORECAST TO REMAIN ACROSS OUR AREA AS WE REMAIN
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE UPPER LEVEL LOW/TROUGH THROUGH AT LEAST
FRIDAY, WHICH WILL BRING OUR TEMPERATURES SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO WARM UP AGAIN OVER THE WEEKEND INTO
THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK AS THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES OUT AND A
RIDGE ALOFT BEGINS TO BUILD IN FROM THE WEST. A WEAK FRONTAL
BOUNDARY IS FORECAST TO CROSS THE REGION SUNDAY, HOWEVER,
PRECIPITATION CHANCES ARE NOT VERY HIGH AT THIS TIME. ANOTHER
FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND A STRONGER UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ARE FORECAST TO
MOVE TOWARD THE AREA WEDNESDAY WHICH IS AFTER OUR FORECAST PERIOD,
HOWEVER THIS MAY BE OUR NEXT BEST CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION.
&&
.AVIATION /21Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AFTN/EVE TSTMS WILL CAUSE BRIEFLY LIMITED CIGS AND VSBYS AT A FEW OF
OUR TAF SITES. THE TSTM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO DIE OFF SHORTLY AFTER
SUNSET. CONVECTIVE CLOUDINESS SHOULD DISSIPATE OVERNIGHT WITH JUST
SOME LINGERING MID CLOUDS AND LIGHT WINDS. SOME FOG IS POSSIBLE
OVERNIGHT ESPECIALLY WHERE RAIN OCCURS. STRONGER NORTHEAST WINDS
ARE FORECAST TO DEVELOP ON WED AND SOME MARITIME STRATO-CU MAY
AFFECT THE AREA.
&&
.MARINE...
WINDS AND SEAS ARE LIGHT AT THIS TIME AND THE TSTM ACTIVITY IS
ALMOST ENTIRELY OVER LAND. HOWEVER...LOW PRESSURE NOW OFF NEW
ENGLAND IS FORECAST TO MOVE SOUTHWEST WHICH WILL TIGHTEN THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT AND PRODUCE STRONGER NORTHEAST WINDS FROM LATER
TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY. THE WINDS IN TURN WILL BUILD SEAS WELL ABOVE 5
FT. THUS THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY REMAINS IN PLACE AND WAS EXTENDED
TO THURSDAY EVENING. SCA SEAS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE EVEN BEYOND THAT
INTO FRIDAY.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
TIDES ARE ALREADY RUNNING ABOUT 0.5 FT ABOVE NORMAL AND ASTRO TIDES
ARE HIGH WITH THE APPROACHING NEW MOON. SOME SPOTTY MINOR TIDAL
FLOODING IS POSSIBLE WITH THE HIGH TIDE THIS EVENING AND A COASTAL
FLOOD ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR AREAS ALONG AND NEAR ATLANTIC
COAST.
A SOMEWHAT GREATER CONCERN MAY BE THE SUBSEQUENT EVENING HIGH TIDES
ON WED AND THUR...WHEN THE SUSTAINED NE WINDS WILL CAUSE INCREASING
TIDAL DEPARTURES ABOVE THE ALREADY HIGH ASTRO TIDES. WIDESPREAD
MINOR AND EVEN SOME MODERATE TIDAL FLOODING IS POSSIBLE LATER IN THE
WEEK AND A COASTAL FLOOD WATCH OR WARNING MAY BECOME NECESSARY.
&&
