Astronomical Low Tide in Delaware, December 31, 2008

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
440 PM EST WED DEC 31 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE MOVING WELL EAST OF OUR AREA THIS EVENING WILL CONTINUE
TO INTENSIFY AS COLD HIGH PRESSURE PUSHES INTO OUR AREA FROM THE
WEST OVERNIGHT. THE HIGH WILL BE OVER OUR AREA THURSDAY, BUT MOVE
SOUTH AND EAST OF THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT. ANOTHER AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES, SAINT LAWRENCE
VALLEY, AND NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND FRIDAY, AND THIS IS EXPECTED TO
BRING A COLD FRONT THROUGH OUR AREA. HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO
BUILD IN FROM THE WEST FOR MOST OF THE WEEKEND, WITH ANOTHER COLD
FRONT EXPECTED TO ARRIVE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
SHOULD RETURN FOR TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
THE STORM IS WINDING UP OFFSHORE, BUT JUST STARTING TO WIND DOWN
FOR OUR AREA AS WE SEEM TO BE OVER THE HUMP. THE LOW THAT MOVED
THROUGH OUR AREA THIS MORNING BROUGHT SNOW TO THE NORTHERN AREAS
AND SNOW SHOWERS DOWN INTO SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND EVEN MUCH
OF NEW JERSEY. ANY LINGERING SNOW OR SNOW SHOWERS SHOULD BE ENDING
BY OR AROUND DARK, SO SNOW WAS NOT INCLUDED FOR THE NIGHTTIME
FORECAST. ANY STRAGGLER AREAS OF SNOW CAN BE HANDLED BY NOWCASTS.
OTHERWISE, CLOUDS WILL BE ON THE DECREASE AS THE HIGH BEGINS TO
BUILD OVER THE AREA AND SUBSIDENCE TAKES OVER.

THE REMAINING STORY IS THAT OF STRONG AND HIGH WINDS. IT WAS
DECIDED, BASED ON MODEL FORECASTS OF LOW LEVEL WINDS, TO DOWNGRADE
THE HIGH WIND WARNING TO A WIND ADVISORY FOR A SIGNIFICANT PORTION
OF THE AREA. THE ONLY AREAS THAT WILL BE KEPT IN THE HIGH WIND
WARNING ARE THE EASTERN ZONES, AS WELL AS THOSE BORDERING DELAWARE
BAY. THE ADVISORY AND WARNING WILL CONTINUE THROUGH 10 PM, AND
LATER FORECASTERS CAN THEN ASSESS WHETHER ANY AREAS NEED A WIND
ADVISORY EXTENSION. NAM WINDS WERE SLIGHTLY STRONGER, BUT 925 HPA
WINDS WERE 40 TO 45 KNOTS. GUSTS AT THE SURFACE SHOULD NOT BE (MUCH)
HIGHER THAN THAT, ESPECIALLY AFTER DARK WHEN LESS MIXING WILL
OCCUR.

THE STRONG WINDS AND INCREASINGLY COLD AIR WILL CONSPIRE TO
PRODUCE LOW WIND CHILLS TONIGHT. THE LOWEST NUMBER WAS MINUS 8
OVER THE FAR NORTHERN ZONES, SO A WIND CHILL ADVISORY WAS NOT
ISSUED. HOWEVER, PRECAUTIONARY INFORMATION WAS ADDED TO THE
HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR TONIGHT.

MINIMUM TEMPERATURES SEEM TO BE WELL HANDLED BY THE STATISTICAL
GUIDANCE, ALTHOUGH TEMPERATURES WERE HEDGED TO THE LOW SIDE NORTH
BASED ON SNOW COVER.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE OVER THE AREA THURSDAY AND MOVE OFFSHORE
THURSDAY NIGHT. THE NEXT WEATHER-MAKER IS FOR FRIDAY. AT THIS
TIME, THE LOW APPEARS MUCH LESS OMINOUS THAN EVEN 4 OR 5 DAYS AGO.
INSTEAD OF SECONDARY COASTAL DEVELOPMENT, THE MAIN LOW PASSES
NORTH AND BRINGS A COLD FRONT PAST THE COAST FRIDAY, WITH PERHAPS
A SECONDARY FRONT FRIDAY NIGHT. THIS IS NOT TO SAY THAT NO
PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR, BUT QUANTITATIVE PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE
ON THE LIGHT SIDE WITH THIS TYPE OF SET-UP, PROBABLY A TENTH OR
TWO. OF COURSE, WITH COLD LOW LEVEL TEMPERATURES, NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL AREAS, AND POSSIBLY SOUTHERN AREAS, LOOK TO RECEIVE SNOW
BUT, IT SHOULD BE LIGHT. DEPICTION OF FEATURES AND TIMING ON THE
MAIN THREE MODELS WAS SIMILAR, WITH THE EURO A BIT FASTER THAN THE
GFS.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MODELS SHOW A RAPID TURNAROUND IN WEATHER SYSTEMS CONTINUING IN
THE FAST FLOW ALOFT IN THE LONG TERM. ANOTHER HIGH NOSES IN
SATURDAY, BUT MOVES AWAY LATER SUNDAY AS ANOTHER FRONT APPROACHES
SUNDAY NIGHT AND PASSES BY MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS BRIEFLY
EARLY TUESDAY, BUT MOVES OFFSHORE DURING TUESDAY THE GFS TRIES TO
OFFER ANOTHER COASTAL STORM, AND THE EURO OFFERS SUPPORT FOR THAT
FROM THIS DISTANT TIME HORIZON.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

VERY GUSTY WINDS CONTINUE ACROSS ALL TAF SITES THIS AFTERNOON AS A
VERY TIGHT GRADIENT HANGS ON. THE LOW IS WELL OFF THE COAST OF NEW
JERSEY WITH HIGH PRESSURE PUSHING IN FROM THE WEST. THE GRADIENT
SHOULD BEGIN TO RELAX THIS EVENING AND BY THE OVERNIGHT/EARLY
MORNING HOURS WINDS WILL HAVE SUBSIDED SIGNIFICANTLY. WIND WARNINGS
AND ADVISORIES WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN UP THROUGH THE LATE EVENING
HOURS.

ALL SITES HAVE SEEN SOME FORM OF PRECIPITATION TODAY WITH SNOW
EVERYWHERE EXCEPT KACY AND KMIV, WHERE SOME LIGHT RAIN FELL. IN
AREAS OF PRECIPITATION, VISIBILITIES DROPPED TO MAINLY MVFR/IFR
CONDITIONS, WITH SOME LIFR FOR VERY BRIEF PERIODS. WITH THE STRONG
NORTHWEST FLOW, DOWNSLOPING WILL OCCUR AND THIS COULD KEEP SOME
LIGHT SNOW OR FLURRIES AROUND TONIGHT. SNOW WILL TAPER OFF THROUGH
THE EVENING AND SHOULD END BY 00Z TONIGHT. HOWEVER, THE SNOW WILL
TAPER OFF THROUGH THE EVENING AND SHOULD END BY 00Z TONIGHT AT ALL
SITES.

THURSDAY LOOKS TO BRING VFR CONDITIONS TO ALL TAF SITES WITH CLEAR
SKIES AND NO RESTRICTIONS ANTICIPATED.

OUTLOOK...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA AND REMAIN THROUGH
EARLY FRIDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION FRIDAY AND ANOTHER
IS POSSIBLE FOR SUNDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
AS WE PREVIOUSLY STATED, WE HAVE RAISED A STORM WARNING ON THE UPPER
DELAWARE BAY AND CONTINUE THE PREVIOUS STORM WARNINGS ON THE LOWER
BAY AND COASTAL WATERS, WITH ALL EXPIRING AT 10PM. AS WE APPROACH
THE END OF THE STORM, GALES MAY BE NEEDED FOR A BRIEF TIME AS THE
WINDS SUBSIDE.

THE ADVISORY FOR LIGHT TO POSSIBLY MODERATE FREEZING SPRAY WILL
CONTINUE FOR TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING.

THE WINDS CONTINUE TO BE OUT OF SERVICE AT BUOY 44009. HOWEVER, BY
EXAMINING THE WAVE HEIGHTS, AROUND 12 FT, YOU GET A GOOD ESTIMATE OF
WIND SPEEDS, IN THIS CASE 40 TO 50 KT. THIS IS A RESULT OF
WIND/WAVE RELATIONSHIP NOMOGRAM.

THE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE DEPARTING STRONG LOW AND APPROACHING HIGH
WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE STRONG GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. BUOY 44009 HAD SEAS UP TO 12 FT THIS AFTERNOON WITH
EVEN THE MOUTH OF THE BAY REACHING CLOSE TO 6 FT. THE HIGH SEAS ARE
PRIMARILY WIND DRIVEN WITH A RELATIVELY SHORT PERIOD AND WILL
CONTINUE INTO EARLY THURSDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE
REGION THURSDAY, HELPING TO RELAX THE GRADIENT AND ALLOWING BOTH
SEAS AND WINDS TO DIMINISH ACROSS THE WATERS.

LOW PRESSURE TO OUR NORTH WILL DRAG A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE COASTAL
WATERS FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING, ONCE AGAIN RAISING SEAS AND
WINDS, WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES OR GALE
WARNINGS. ANOTHER SYSTEM WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST FOR SUNDAY,
WITH HIGH PRESSURE MOVING ACROSS THE REGION MONDAY.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
VERY STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON WITH TOP SPEEDS
IN EXCESS OF 55 MPH. BLOWOUT TIDES REMAIN POSSIBLE THROUGH THE EARLY
EVENING AS COASTAL AREAS APPROACH THEIR LOW TIDES. LOW TIDES ARE
EXPECTED TO OCCUR BETWEEN 3PM AND 7PM ACROSS THE REGION.

THE ADVISORY WILL REMAIN AS IS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON,
EXPIRING AT 8PM THIS EVENING. THE GREATEST RISK CONTINUES TO BE IN
THE DELAWARE BAY WHERE DEPARTURES OF OVER 2 FT ARE POSSIBLE.
