AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
330 PM EDT SUN JUN 8 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
A BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST WILL CONTROL
THE WEATHER INTO TUESDAY. A WEAK COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE PAST
THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT AND DISSIPATE TO OUR SOUTH. A HIGH PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL THEN BUILD SOUTH FROM CANADA LATER WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY AND REMAIN NEAR THE REGION THROUGH SATURDAY BEFORE SLIDING
OFFSHORE. A COLD FRONT WILL THEN APPROACH THE AREA SUNDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
OVERALL THE WRF-NMM LOOKED BETTER WITH ITS INITIALIZATION AT 850MB
AND 500MB WHILE THE GFS LOOKED BETTER AT 925MB. THE GFS IS HANDLING
THE ONGOING CONVECTION BETTER THAN THE WRF-NMM SO IT WILL BE USED
THROUGH TONIGHT, BUT THEN WE WILL PASS THE BATON TO THE WRF-NMM FOR
THE SHORT TERM PERIOD.
THE 12Z UA ANALYSIS DID SHOW A THERMAL TROF AT 500MB FROM BUF TO
IAD. NONE OF THE MODELS CAUGHT THE BUF SOUNDING. THIS PROBABLY IS
THE INSPIRATION FOR THE CURRENT TSRAS IN THE LEATHERSTOCKING REGION
OF UPSTATE NEW YORK. DOWN OUR WAY WE FIND THAT THE GFS IS ONLY
FORECASTING CAPES TO MAX BETWEEN 2000-3000J LATE THIS AFTERNOON.
THIS IS BASED ON MID TO UPPER 70S DEW POINTS. WITHOUT IT, THE
CONVECTIVE TEMP DOES NOT GET REACHED. WHILE A LEE SIDE TROF DID FORM
TODAY IN THE SUSQ VALLEY, THE OVERALL WRLY WIND ABOVE THE BOUNDARY
LAYER IS NOT GIVING MUCH SUPPORT FOR CONVERGENCE AND THE TROUGHINESS
ATTM IS QUITE BROAD. THE FCST THETA E CONVERGENCE AT 850MB AS PER
THE GFS GOES FROM THE CATSKILLS INTO LONG ISLAND. THUS OUR WHAT
MIGHT BE WRONG CONCLUSION IS WITH WAA ALOFT (AT 500MB), NO THETA E
CONVERGENCE, THE LACK OF REACHING THE CONVECTIVE TEMP ALL POINT TO
THE LACK OF OR EXTREMELY ISOLATED TSRA IN THE SRN TWO-THIRDS OF OUR
CWA.
FTHR TO THE NORTH THE FCST SFC DEW POINTS AND CONVECTIVE TEMPS ARE
MORE REASONABLE. PLUS THE OROGRAPHIC EFFECT AND ONGOING CONVECTION
MAKE THE CURRENT SLGT CHANCE/CHANCE POPS LOOK GOOD. THERE COULD BE
ANOTHER PULSE SEVERE TSRA WAY NORTH, BUT IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE
ORGANIZATIONAL SVR TSRA WILL HAVE TO FOLLOW THAT THERMAL TROF AND BE
TOO FAR NE FOR US. SINCE MANY TIMES TSRAS DONT GO ACCORDING TO
PLAN, WE DID CARRY SOME ENHANCED WORDING IN OUR FAR NRN ZONES WHERE
WE CURRENTLY ARE CARRYING POPS.
OTHERWISE, ANOTHER SULTRY NIGHT. GFS MOS WHICH LOOKED TOO LOW LAST
NIGHT WAS THE BETTER OF THE TWO MODELS. WITH CURRENT DEW POINTS
LOWER THAN ETA MOS WE WILL LEAN TOWARD GFS MOS FOR MINS.
LASTLY WE WILL PERMIT THE HEAT ADVISORY TO EXPIRE AS SCHEDULED ALONG
THE THREE COASTAL ZONES.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
NO CHANGES TO THE CURRENT HEAT ADVISORIES AND WARNINGS THAT ARE IN
EFFECT THROUGH TUESDAY. LOW CONFIDENCE ABOUT RE-ISSUING THE ADVISORY
FOR SOME OF OUR COASTAL COUNTIES AS BOTH THE GFS AND WRF-NMM DO
DEVELOP AN AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE WHEN THE ABOVE BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS
ARE FCST TO WEAKEN.
BEYOND THAT MONDAY LOOKS LIKE IT SHOULD BE THE HOTTEST ONE OF THE
HEAT WAVE AS THERE IS A SUBTLE 1C RISE AT 850MB AND ABOUT A
5M THICKNESS BUMP UP IN THE FCST 1000-850MB THICKNESS
(A 1-2F RISE OVER TODAY). THE MODELS ARE NOT FORECASTING MUCH OF
A LEE SIDE TROF AGAIN WITH MORE OF A WESTERLY FLOW. THIS HAS NOT
PANNED TODAY AS THERE IS A BIT MORE OF A SWRLY FLOW. WITH NVA FCST
TOMORROW AND THE H5 RIDGE REPOSITIONING ITSELF FARTHER TO THE SE,
WOULD EXPECT THIS WOULD BE THE DAY THAT IT SHOULD WORK THE BEST
(WESTERLY FLOW). BASED ON THE OVERALL GFS MOS WARM BIAS, WE ARE
GOING TO TAKE OUR EXPECTED MAX TEMPS FOR TDY AND ADD 2F ACROSS THE
BOARD. SUSPECT WELL END UP CLOSER TO ETA MOS THAN GFS MOS IN MOST
AREAS.
SPEAKING OF GFS MOS, IT GAVE PHL A HIGH OF 99, 96, 97, 95, 100, 100,
95, 98, 97 (MOST RECENT LAST) FOR TODAY. THROUGH 3 PM CURRENT MAX
TEMP IS 94F.
AS FAR AS SENSIBLE WEATHER GOES, MONDAY IS EXPECTED TO BE THE LEAST
UNSTABLE OF THE SUN TO TUE TRIFECTA. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED BY FCST A
CAP IN THE SOUTHERN TWO-THIRDS OF OUR CWA. UP NORTH AGAIN THE CAP
MIGHT NOT HOLD. BUT WITH AN EXPECTED WRLY SFC FLOW AND THE NEXT
REMNANT OF THE MCS FCST TO PASS NORTH OF OUR CWA, WE WILL KEEP THE
FCST DRY. THE WESTERLY FLOW SHOULD LOWER DEW POINTS SLIGHTLY FROM
TODAYS LEVELS. IF IT COMES TO FRUITION GIVEN THE LIGHT WINDS, IT
WOULD GIVE NON-URBAN AREAS A CHANCE TO RADIATE A BIT MONDAY NIGHT.
THUS WE WILL COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE MOS DATASETS.
ON TUESDAY WE ARE NOW GOING WITH THE SLOWER MODEL SOLUTIONS VS THE
GFS SOLUTION FOR THE CFP. THE GFS SOLUTION WOULD AFFORD SLIGHTLY
LOWER TEMPS AND A GREATER CHANCE FOR SEVERE AS IT NOW IS FORECASTING
THE ENTRANCE REGION OF AN H2.5 JET IN THE NORTHERN PART OF OUR CWA
DURING THE AFTN. THE GFS ALSO CRANKS THE CAPES TO AROUND
4000J...TT(S) TO AROUND 50 AND SFC L.I. TO MINUS 10. THIS IS DUE IN
PART TO IT FORECASTING SFC DEW POINTS IN THE UPPER 70S AND ITS
FASTER OVERALL SOLUTION LOWERS HEIGHTS ALOFT (COLDER TEMPS, STRONGER
UPDRAFTS). JUST LOOKING AT THE OVERALL PCPN PATTERN FORECAST AND THE
FACT THE MAIN JET STILL STAYS NORTH OF US TUESDAY NIGHT, IT STILL
LOOKS LIKE THE NWRN PART OF OUR CWA WILL HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF
SEEING SEVERE WEATHER AS EVEN IN THE WRF SOLUTION, THE TSRAS SHOULD
ARRIVE CLOSER TO MAXIMUM DAYTIME HEATING. TAKING THE LESS TROFIER
SOLUTIONS WITHOUT THE AID OF A COOL POOL WOULD HAVE TSRAS LEAKING
FUEL OUT OF THE SIDES OF THEIR TANKS AS THEY WOULD GET INTO THE SERN
HALF OF OUR CWA. REASON WE KEPT POPS FOR NOW BELOW LIKELY.
AIR MASS TUESDAY MORNING WILL START OUT THE HOTTEST. EVEN THE GFS
SOLUTION THOUGH BRINGS IN SLIGHTLY COOLER ABOVE THE BOUNDARY LAYER
AS THICKNESS FORECASTS BY BOTH MODELS IN SPITE OF DIFFERENT FRONTAL
TIMINGS ARE THE SAME AND COMPARABLE TO MONDAY. SIMILAR MAX TEMPS
WILL BE FCST. SLOWER CFP THAN THE GFS WOULD LEAN TOWARD ACCEPTING
ETA MOS FOR MINS TUE NIGHT.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THIS IS A GENERAL DRY FORECAST ALTHOUGH FORECAST CONFIDENCE ABOUT IT
REMAINING DRY IS LESS THAN AVERAGE FOR WEDNESDAY AND WELL BELOW
AVERAGE FOR FATHERS DAY WEEKEND. COLD FRONT SHOULD BE SOUTH OF OUR
CWA COME WEDNESDAY MORNING. AS IS OFTEN THE CASE COMING OUT OF HEAT
WAVES, ITS DONE IN SEGMENTS AND NOT IN ONE SWOOP. THIS IS THE CASE
FOR WEDNESDAY WHERE THE SOUTHERN PART OF OUR CWA MIGHT HAVE ENOUGH
INSTABILITY TO POP SOME TSRA. NOT MENTIONED IN THE GRIDS/ZONES FOR
NOW, BUT WORTH WATCHING.
AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS SOUTH ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, GREATER
CONFIDENCE ABOUT DRY WEATHER ALONG WITH TEMPS THAT SHOULD AVERAGE
SLIGHTLY AND NOT WELL ABOVE NORMAL.
THE 00Z FORECAST MODELS DEVELOP A PRETTY HEALTHY FOR JUNE CLOSED LOW
EAST OF OUR CWA LATE IN THE WEEK. THIS LEAVES OUR CWA ALMOST IN AN
OMEGA BLOCK TYPE PATTERN WITH SKINNY HIGH PRESSURE NESTLED ACROSS
OUR CWA. THE COLD FRONT FROM YESTERDAY NOW APPEARS DELAYED (ALONG
WITH PCPN CHANCES) TO BEYOND FATHERS DAY. THE OPERATIONAL MODEL
SOLUTIONS THOUGH WITH THE CLOSED LOW LOOK A BIT TOO ROBUST FOR JUNE
AND WHAT ARE MUCH WARMER OCEAN TEMPS BELOW IT.
LO AND BEHOLD THE 12Z GFS SOLUTION WENT BACK TO ITS SOLUTION IT HAD
ON THE 00Z RUN ON SATURDAY AND BRINGS THE CFP THROUGH ON SAT. THE
LATEST EURO HAS SPED IT TO FATHERS DAY. WE WILL KEEP THE CURRENT
DRY FORECAST THROUGH FATHERS DAY, BUT START A CHANCE THAT NIGHT.
ITS STILL 6 TO 7 DAYS AWAY, EXPECT MORE CHANGES.
LASTLY ABOUT TEMPS FRIDAY THRU SUNDAY, THE 00Z OPERATIONAL ECMWF AND
TO A LESSER EXTENT THE GFS WOULD HAVE THE COOLER AIR ASSOCIATED WITH
THE CLOSED LOW AFFECT OUR CWA. SINCE WE THE CLOSED LOW IS OVERDONE,
WE HAVE GONE ALONG WITH HPC AND RAISED MAX TEMPS ABOVE GUIDANCE. AN
ONSHORE FLOW FROM THE OCEAN SHOULD BRING A SEMI HUMID AIR MASS INTO
THE REGION, BUT OCEAN TEMPS AS OF NOW ARE STILL AVERAGING IN THE 60S
AND WILL NOT HAVE THE SAME HUMID AFFECT ON US IT WILL A MONTH OR TWO
FROM NOW.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
WITH A LARGE BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM DOMINATING THE WEATHER
PATTERN OVER THE ERN CONUS THROUGH TUESDAY, EXPECT MOSTLY VFR
CONDITIONS AT THE AREA AIRPORTS THROUGH THE PERIOD. HOWEVER, WITH A
BUILDUP OF HUMIDITY, SLIGHT VSBY RESTRICTIONS ARE POSSIBLE IN HZ/BR
AT SEVERAL TAF SITES RESULTING IN MVFR CONDITIONS DURING THE LATE
OVERNIGHT AND MORNING HOURS.
.OUTLOOK...
NO SIGNIFICANT WEATHER SYSTEMS ARE EXPECTED IN THE AREA THROUGH
TUESDAY. THERE COULD BE SOME DIURNAL THUNDERSTORMS EACH AFTERNOON. A
COLD FRONT COULD BRING SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR TUESDAY
AFTERNOON OR EVENING.
&&
.MARINE...
RELATIVELY TRANQUIL CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE FORECAST WATERS
THROUGH MOST OF TUESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS IN CONTROL OF THE
WX. THIS HIGH WILL MAINTAIN A S TO SW FLOW OVER THE REGION. AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT MAY INCREASE SEAS TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY, ALONG WITH AN ASSOCIATED RISK OF THUNDERSTORMS, BUT NO
FLAGS ARE ANTICIPATED THROUGH THE PERIOD.
&&
.CLIMATE...
AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF HOT AND HUMID WEATHER WILL BE IN PLACE THROUGH
EARLY NEXT WEEK. BELOW ARE THE RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR MONDAY
AND TUESDAY.
