What happened
The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.
A wildfire charred about 100 acres of brush at a Sunoco Refinery in West Deptford Township (Gloucester County) on the afternoon of the 6th. The fire began about 130 p.m. EDT in a wooded area and the wind pushed it into a field. It raged for nearly three hours before about one hundered firefighters from ten different companies were able to control it. The recent dry weather and strong winds during the afternoon carried flames across dry patches of fields between the refinery and homes along Red Bank Avenue. No homes on Red Bank Avenue or Ninth Street were evacuated. Flames came within 100 feet of homes on Ninth Street before they were stopped. The peak wind gust at Philadelphia International Airport that afternoon was 30 mph from the east.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1218 PM EDT SUN MAY 6 2007
.NEAR TERM UPDATE #2 /THIS AFTERNOON/...
AN UPDATED SET OF PRODUCTS AND GRIDS HAVE BEEN SENT TO ADD IN A
SLIGHT CHC POP ACROSS THE FAR EASTERN AND SOUTHERN ZONES FOR A FEW
ISOLATED SHOWERS OR SPRINKLES THAT HAVE POPPED UP /A NOWCAST WAS
ISSUED EARLIER/. THE CIRCULATION AROUND THE DEVELOPING LOW TO OUR SOUTH
AND THE LARGE HIGH TO OUR NORTH APPEARS TO BE ENHANCING SOME
LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE. DESPITE THE DRY AIR IN PLACE, THIS
CONVERGENCE HAS BEEN STRONG ENOUGH TO INITIATE A FEW SHOWERS AND
SPRINKLES. BECAUSE OF THE DRY AIR, ANY SHOWER SHOULD BE LIGHT
HOWEVER EXTRA GUSTINESS IN THE WINDS COULD BRIEFLY OCCUR. THIS
ACTIVITY WILL SLIDE TO THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL
PROBABLY END OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. THE ISOLATED SHOWERS ARE
NOT EXPECTED TO GET TO FAR INLAND.
THE SKY COVER GRIDS HAVE ALSO BEEN ADJUSTED TO INTRODUCE MORE CLOUDS
ACROSS NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE. TWEAKED THE HIGH TEMPERATURES UP A
BIT ACROSS SOME INLAND AREAS AS WELL.
&&
.NEAR TERM UPDATE...
NOT MANY CHANGES MADE THIS MORNING SINCE FORECAST LOOKS TO BE RIGHT
ON TRACK. TWEAKED TEMPS, DEWS, WINDS AND SKY COVER A LITTLE BIT TO
BETTER REFLECT CURRENT CONDITIONS. HAD TO DROP THE DEWS A BIT MORE
SINCE GUIDANCE IS STILL NOT DOING WELL WITH THEM AND THEY LOOK TO BE
TOO HIGH. NO OTHER CHANGES WERE MADE AT THIS TIME. IT STILL LOOKS
LIKE IT WILL BE SUNNY BUT QUITE WINDY THROUGHOUT MOST OF TODAY,
ESPECIALLY NEAR THE SHORE AND BEACH AREAS.
ALL PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN UPDATED AND SENT OUT.
&&
.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
.MARINE UPDATE...
AN UPDATE TO THE MARINE FORECAST WAS SENT TO LENGTHEN THE TIME FOR
THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY INTO MONDAY MORNING FOR THE NORTHERN
MARINE ZONE.
&&
.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE FROM CANADA WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD OVER THE
REGION THROUGH TONIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE FORMS OFF THE SOUTHEAST US
COAST. THE HIGH WILL THEN BECOME STATIONARY OVER THE REGION
THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK. THE LOW TO THE SOUTH WILL REMAIN
NEARLY STATIONARY AND WEAKEN SLOWLY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
DRY AIR WITH COOL TEMPERATURES WILL BE THE RULE. THE GRADIENT
AROUND THE HIGH BUILDING DOWN FROM THE NORTH WILL MAKE IT WINDY
TODAY. THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE ALONG THE COAST, ESPECIALLY
SOUTH OF LITTLE EGG INLET NJ. DEWPOINTS DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY MORE
THAN THE LAST SEVERAL RUNS OF GUIDANCE SUGGESTED WITH READINGS
FROM ILG TO TTN NORTHWARD GENERALLY 15-25. ALONG THE COASTAL AREAS
AND FARTHER TO THE SOUTH, DEWPOINTS WERE HIGHER AS THE DRY AIR HAS
NOT MADE IT THERE AS OF 3 AM. THE DRY AIR WILL CONTINUE SOUTHWARD
TODAY AND DAYTIME MIXING WILL KEEP THEM LOW. HOWEVER, THE SOUTHERN
AREAS MAY NOT DRY AS MUCH AS FARTHER NORTH DUE TO WINDS COMING
FROM THE OCEAN. THESE WINDS WILL ALSO KEEP TEMPERATURES COLDER OVER
SE NJ AND DE.
AS FAR AS SKY COVER GOES, MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOWED SOME MOISTURE
AROUND 850 MB. HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT LOOK DEEP ENOUGH TO ALLOW MORE
THAN SCT CU TO FORM.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
THE CENTER OF THE HIGH IS CLOSE ENOUGH TONIGHT SO THAT THE
GRADIENT WEAKENS AND WINDS DECOUPLE ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO DROP
TO THE 30S MOST AREAS. OVER DELMARVA THE WIND SHOULD STAY UP AND
DEWPOINTS WILL BE HIGHER THAN FARTHER NORTH SO MINS SHOULD STAY
ABOVE 40 THERE. A FROST ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE NORTHERN
AREAS AND ALSO FOR THE PINE BARRENS OF SNJ WHICH USUALLY RADIATES
WELL. IN THE POCONOS A FREEZE IS POSSIBLE, BUT FOR NOW, SINCE LOW
TONIGHT ARE WITH RADIATION, I WENT FROST ADV THERE TOO. OVER THE
SUBURBS OF PHL, I HELD OFF ON ISSUING AN ADVISORY BUT DID MENTION
PATCHY FROST.
MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT CONTINUE DRY WITH HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE.
THE AIRMASS MODIFIES WARMER AND MONDAY SHOULD SEE TEMPS WELL INTO
THE 60S. NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE IN HIGH TEMPS SHOULD BE SEEN NORTH VS
SOUTH AS THE AIRMASS ACTUALLY WARMER NORTH. THE COOLEST AREAS WILL
BE NEAR THE COAST AND ALONG THE ADJACENT ZONES DUE TO CONTINUED
ONSHORE FLOW. THEN MONDAY NIGHT IS COOL ONCE AGAIN. BUT SINCE THE
DAYTIME HIGHS ARE HIGHER ON MONDAY THAN TODAY, I EXPECT THE LOWS
MONDAY NIGHT TO BE HIGHER TOO AND THE MAV MINS WERE GENLY ACCEPTED.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
WITH HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE AND CONSIDERABLE SUNSHINE FORECAST,
THE AIRMASS WILL CONTINUE TO MODIFY AND DAYTIME HIGHS SHOULD REACH
WELL INTO THE 70S OR TO NEAR 80 EACH DAY. A WEAK FRONTAL SYSTEM
COULD AFFECT THE AREA ON SATURDAY WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF SHOWERS.
&&
.AVIATION /08Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
JUST SOME RESIDUAL MID LEVEL CLOUDS WERE NOTED AROUND 06Z TAF
ISSUANCE TIME MAINLY OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE AREA, BUT THESE
SHOULD MOVE SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA AS THE UPPER WINDS SWEEP THEM AWAY
DURING THE EARLY AND MID MORNING HOURS. OTHERWISE, SCATTERED
STRATOCUMULUS WILL BE FORMING AROUND OR SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE IN THE
NORTHEAST FLOW. BUFKIT SHOWS THIS TO BE A RATHER SHALLOW AREA, WITH
NO REAL CEILING FORMATION, SO WE OPTED TO KEEP IT IN THE SCATTERED
CATEGORY. THESE CLOUDS SHOULD DISSIPATE LATER THIS AFTERNOON OR
EARLY THIS EVENING, WITH CLEAR SKIES THEREAFTER. NORTHEAST WINDS
SHOULD BECOME RATHER GUSTY TODAY, WITH SUSTAINED WINDS IN THE 15 TO
20 KNOT RANGE, WITH GUSTS TOPPING OUT IN THE UPPER 20S OR AROUND 30
KNOTS. THESE ARE EXPECTED TO LESSEN TOWARD AND AFTER DARK, THEN
RELAX A BIT ESPECIALLY NORTH AS THE BEST GRADIENT TRENDS SOUTH.
&&
.MARINE...
THE GALE WARNING WILL BE EXTENDED UP TO MANASQUAN INLET AND ALSO TO
LOWER DELAWARE BAY WITH THE WIND GUSTS GRIDS THAT WERE DRAWN, IN
WHICH FREQUENT GUSTS TO 35 KNOTS ARE EXPECTED TODAY. GALE CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE A LITTLE LONGER FOR OUR FAR SOUTHERN AREAS,
INTO THIS EVENING, THEN DROP BACK TO SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS OVER
MOST OF OUR OCEAN WATERS FOR THE DAY MONDAY. WAVES WERE INCREASED TO
THE 10 FOOT LEVEL IN VIEW OF THE CONSISTENCY WAVEWATCH HAS SHOWN.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
A RED FLAG WARNING HAS ALREADY BEEN ISSUED FOR TODAY FOR MUCH OF OUR
AREA DUE TO THE COMBINATION OF BRISK WINDS (SUSTAINED OR FREQUENT
GUSTS TO 20 MPH), DRYING FUELS, AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITIES. THE
COARSE SCALE GRAPHIC FROM COOPERATING AGENCIES SHOWS HIGHER 10 HOUR
FUEL MOISTURE EARLY THIS MORNING, PERHAPS DUE TO SCATTERED LIGHT
RAIN MAINLY SOUTH. OUR FAR SOUTHERN AREAS INDEED DID JUST GET A
WETTING RAIN (0.10 INCHES OR MORE), AND THOSE AREA, COMBINED WITH
THE ONSHORE FLOW WHICH WILL BRING SLIGHTLY HIGHER DEWPOINTS AND
SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES, WERE LEFT OUT OF THE WARNING.
ELSEWHERE, IT APPEARS THAT WE WILL MEET THE CRITERIA, EVEN FOR THE
FUELS WHICH SHOULD DRY RAPIDLY BACK TO THE 5 TO 10 PERCENT RANGE
UNDER THESE CONDITIONS, SO THE WARNING WAS ISSUED FOR AREAS ALONG
AND NORTHWEST OF A MIDDLESEX COUNTY NEW JERSEY TO QUEEN ANNES
COUNTY MARYLAND LINE FOR TODAY.
&&
.TIDES...
THE ONSHORE FLOW WILL BE CREATING ABOVE NORMAL TIDES TODAY AND
MONDAY HOWEVER, THE HIGHEST ANOMALIES MAY EXIST LATE TODAY AND
EARLY TONIGHT HIGH TIDE LATER TONIGHT MAY SEE SLIGHTLY LOWER
ANOMALIES SUCH THAT MINOR TIDAL FLOODING IS APPROACHED AT A COUPLE
OF PLACES, SUCH AS CAPE MAY, BUT NOT REACHED. THIS WILL NEED TO BE
WATCHED BY THE DAY SHIFT, HOWEVER. INTERESTINGLY, THE NGM STORM
SURGE GUIDANCE IS NOT QUITE AS HIGH AS THE AVIATION GUIDANCE DURING
THE CRITICAL PERIODS EVEN IF WE USE THE AVIATION, WE MAY SQUEEZE BY
WITHOUT ANY MINOR TIDAL FLOODING.
