AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
601 PM EDT TUE JUN 10 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE WILL GIVE GROUND TO A WEAK TO MODERATE COLD
FRONT TONIGHT. THE FRONT IS FORECAST TO DISSIPATE TO OUR SOUTH AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS DOWN FROM CANADA THROUGH FRIDAY. ANOTHER COLD
FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA FROM SATURDAY NIGHT INTO
SUNDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
UPDATED ALL PRODUCTS TO REFLECT THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 503
IN EFFECT UNTIL 100 AM WEDNESDAY. STORMS HAVE ALREADY STARTED
POPPING IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY AND POCONOS IN PENNSYLVANIA. STORMS
WILL CONTINUE TO APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE WEST THROUGH THIS
EVENING.
REGARDING TEMPS, WELL LIKELY BUMP MINS UP A BIT FROM CONTINUITY
AS STAT GUIDANCE IS IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT AND THE MAIN UPPER
JET NEVER DROPS INTO OUR AREA. THE MOST PRONOUNCED FEELING OF
RELIEF WILL BE NORTHWEST, WHILE ITS STILL EXPECTED TO BE SOMEWHAT
COOLER AND DRIER SOUTHEAST BY DAYBREAK WEDNESDAY.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
A WEAK LEE SIDE TROF MAY DEVELOP TOMORROW AS A MID LEVEL VORTEX TO
OUR NORTH EXPANDS SOUTHWARD A BIT, BUT THE SOUNDINGS APPEAR TO BE
WELL CAPPED. AFTER THAT, A BIT OF WARM AIR ADVECTION ALOFT
CLOUDINESS MAY DEVELOP LATE THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT,
ESPECIALLY NORTH, BUT IT DOESNT LOOK VERY IMPRESSIVE AT THIS
POINT. OTHERWISE, SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE DROPPING OUT OF CANADA AND
THEN DRIFTING OFF THE COAST THROUGH THE PERIOD SHOULD BE THE MAIN
INFLUENCE ON OUR WEATHER. ON TEMPS, GUIDANCE AND CONTINUITY WORK
WELL DURING THE DAY. THE MINS ARE BASED ON THE NOTION THAT PARTIAL
DECOUPLING IS POSSIBLE BOTH WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT ON THE
ONE HAND, BUT THAT WE ARE IN THE TIME OF YEAR WHEN RADIATING IS
LIMITED. THESE VALUES ARE ABOVE NORMAL, BUT ARE NOT AS OPPRESSIVE
AS WHAT WEVE BEEN EXPERIENCING. THE AIR MASS ALSO WILL BE DRIER.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE FORECAST CONTINUES TO LEAN TOWARD THE ECMWF THROUGH THE LONG
TERM. AT H5, WE START WITH A BUILDING RIDGE THAT CRESTS OVER US
SOMETIME AROUND SATURDAY AND THEN MOVES OFF THE COAST. A MID LEVEL
TROF BEGINS TO DESCEND FROM SOUTH CENTRAL CANADA AND THE NORTHERN
PLAINS FROM LATE IN THE WEEKEND INTO THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK.
AT THE SURFACE, A COLD FRONT IS PROGGED TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA IN
THE IMMEDIATE WAKE OF THE MID LEVEL RIDGE AXIS, THEN ANOTHER COLD
FRONT IS FORECAST AS THE MID LEVEL TROF DESCENDS TOWARD US.
TEMPERATURES IN THE LONG TERM STILL ARE FORECAST TO RUN A BIT ABOVE
NORMAL.
&&
.AVIATION /22Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 100 AM WEDNESDAY FOR
ALL TAF SITES. THUNDERSTORMS HAVE ALREADY STARTED TO DEVELOP
ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE REGION AFFECTING KRDG AND KABE
AS OF 600 PM. EXPECT FURTHER THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TO DEVELOP IN
THE PREFRONTAL TROUGH AND MOVE QUICKLY ACROSS OUR AREA THROUGH THE
EVENING HOURS. PROBABILITIES WILL RANGE FROM LIKELY NORTHWEST TO
MINIMAL CHANCE SOUTHEAST. AVIATION CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN VFR
EXCEPT IN THE PRECIPITATION, WHERE THEY WILL VARY TO MVFR/IFR.
ONCE THE FRONT MOVES OFF TO THE EAST, WINDS WILL SWING AROUND TO
WEST AND THEN NORTHWEST USHERING IN DRIER AND SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR.
DONT EXPECT MUCH IN THE WAY OF FOG OVERNIGHT SINCE WINDS BOTH
SURFACE AND ALOFT ARE NOT FORECAST TO GO CALM. COULD SEE SOME MVFR
VSBY RESTRICTIONS IN A FEW LOCATIONS THAT NORMALLY HAVE THE LOWEST
WINDS. CLOUDS WILL SCT OUT WITHIN AN HOUR OR TWO OF THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE. WINDS WILL BECOME NORTHERLY TOWARD DAYBREAK AS SKIES
BECOME CLEAR. HIGH PRESSURE WILL PUSH IN WEDNESDAY AND KEEP MOSTLY
CLEAR SKIES.
FOR THE OUTLOOK...THE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL KEEP VFR CONDITIONS
THROUGH FRIDAY. OF COURSE, LOCALIZED MVFR VISIBILITIES IN FOG
AND HAZE IN THE EARLY MORNING ARE POSSIBLE. ANOTHER COLD FRONT COULD
AFFECT THE AREA OVER THE WEEKEND AT SOME POINT, PROBABLY LATER
SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT.
&&
.MARINE...
CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
CRITERIA THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.
A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE WATERS EARLY TONIGHT ACCOMPANIED BY A
FEW THUNDERSTORMS. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR
ALL OF THE COASTAL WATERS THROUGH 100 AM WEDNESDAY.
THE FRONT WILL MOVE OFF TO THE EAST LATER TONIGHT BRINGING A SHIFT
IN THE WINDS FROM SOUTH TO WEST AND THEN NORTHWEST. AS HIGH
PRESSURE PUSHES IN WEDNESDAY WINDS WILL BECOME NORTHERLY. THE HIGH
WILL DOMINATE OUR WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK
KEEPING CONDITIONS RATHER TRANQUIL. ANOTHER COLD FRONT APPROACHING
THE AREA SATURDAY WILL MOVE ACROSS SATURDAY NIGHT. WINDS AND SEAS
COULD APPROACH OR REACH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA LATE
SATURDAY OR SATURDAY NIGHT BUT SHOULD DROP BELOW THE CRITERIA
SUNDAY AS THE FRONT MOVES OFF TO THE EAST.
