Flood in New Jersey, September 28, 2008

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
734 PM EDT SUN SEP 28 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
WEAK LOW PRESSURE WAS LOCATED OVER OUR REGION THIS AFTERNOON.  THE
LOW WILL DRIFT TO THE EAST AND OFF THE COAST TONIGHT, PULLING A
FRONTAL BOUNDARY WITH IT.  WEAK HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO BUILD
IN FROM THE WEST FOR MONDAY AND EARLY TUESDAY.  A STRONG COLD FRONT
IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST ON TUESDAY NIGHT, AND IT
SHOULD PASS THROUGH OUR REGION EARLY ON WEDNESDAY.  ANOTHER COLD
FRONTAL PASSAGE IS ANTICIPATED FOR FRIDAY, WITH STRONG HIGH PRESSURE
FOLLOWING FOR NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
A WEAK SURFACE LOW WAS LOCATED OVER SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA THIS
AFTERNOON.  THE LOW WILL DRIFT TO THE EAST AND OFF THE COAST THIS
EVENING.

A SLOW MOVING CONVERGENCE ZONE REMAINED TO THE NORTH OF THE LOW AT
MID AFTERNOON AND IT WAS PRODUCING HEAVY RAIN IN THE POCONOS AND IN
PARTS OF NORTHWESTERN NEW JERSEY.  EARLIER IN THE DAY, AROUND TWO TO
FOUR INCHES OF RAIN HAD FALLEN IN PARTS OF THE LEHIGH VALLEY AND
UPPER BUCKS COUNTY.  WE RECEIVED A REPORT OF 2.57 INCHES FROM
SPRINGTOWN IN UPPER BUCKS COUNTY.  THE LEHIGH VALLEY INTERNATIONAL
AIRPORT RECEIVED A TOTAL OF 3.56 INCHES THROUGH MID AFTERNOON.
THERE WAS SOME ROADWAY AND POOR DRAINAGE AREA FLOODING IN THAT AREA
THIS AFTERNOON, AND THERE WAS SOME MINOR FLOODING ALONG THE MONOCACY
CREEK IN BETHLEHEM.  FORTUNATELY, THE ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS WERE
QUITE DRY.

WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE, THE SURFACE LOW, AND A
WEAK IMPULSE OVERHEAD, WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO SEE NUMEROUS SHOWERS IN
OUR REGION INTO THIS EVENING.  THE SHOWERS WILL BE EFFICIENT RAIN
PRODUCERS.  GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SUGGEST THAT THE BRUNT OF THE RAIN
INTO THIS EVENING WILL FALL ACROSS OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES.

AS THE LOW MOVES FARTHER OFF THE COAST TONIGHT, WE WILL GRADUALLY
DECREASE THE POPS IN THE FORECAST.  WITH THE CLOUD COVER EXPECTED TO
HOLD INTO MONDAY MORNING, TEMPERATURES ARE NOT EXPECTED TO DROP MUCH
OVERNIGHT, EVEN AS A LIGHT NORTH TO NORTHWEST WIND DEVELOPS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST FOR MONDAY, WE SHOULD
SEE SOME CLEARING DURING THE COURSE OF THE DAY.  THE WEAK HIGH WILL
CONTINUE TO INFLUENCE OUR REGION ON MONDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY,
BEFORE OUR NEXT SYSTEM BEGINS TO APPROACH FROM THE WEST.

AN UPPER LEVEL LOW WAS LOCATED OVER MANITOBA THIS AFTERNOON.  THE
LOW WILL BEGIN TO DROP OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION LATE ON MONDAY
AND IT SHOULD REMAIN THERE THROUGH TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, AS A
RESULTING LONG WAVE TROUGH STARTS TO DEVELOP OVER THE EASTERN
STATES.  A COLD FRONT, WILL WORK ITS WAY ACROSS EASTERN
PENNSYLVANIA, NORTHEASTERN MARYLAND, DELAWARE AND NEW JERSEY EARLY
ON WEDNESDAY.  SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO PRECEDE AND ACCOMPANY THE
FRONT FROM TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY.  SOME OF THE SHOWERS MAY
BEGIN TO AFFECT OUR NORTHWEST COUNTIES AS EARLY AS TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS THE LONG WAVE TROUGH BECOMES BETTER ESTABLISHED OVER THE EASTERN
STATES FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT, THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT, WE WILL BE
IN A NORTHWEST FLOW, WITH SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES, AS WELL AS SOME
CUMULUS AND STRATOCUMULUS OVERHEAD, ESPECIALLY OVER OUR NORTHERN
COUNTIES.

ANOTHER COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE ON FRIDAY, WITH A LARGE
AUTUMNAL AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE EXPECTED FOR NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A SMALLER SCALE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO EXIT EASTERN
PENNSYLVANIA AND NORTHERN NEW JERSEY EARLY THIS EVENING. NUMEROUS
SHOWERS AND EVEN AN ORGANIZED LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS OCCURRED IN
ADVANCE OF THIS FEATURE, WITH LOCALLY TORRENTIAL RAINFALL. THE
LEFTOVERS OF THE CONVECTIVE LINE CONTINUES TO MOVE ACROSS SOUTHERN
NEW JERSEY, HOWEVER A WEAKENING TREND HAS BEEN NOTED. ELSEWHERE,
SOME SHOWERS REMAIN WITH THE MOST ORGANIZED ACTIVITY ACROSS
NORTHERN NEW JERSEY. THIS MAY BUILD SOUTHWARD INTO KTTN AND KPNE
FOR A TIME THIS EVENING, AND WE WILL MONITOR FOR ANY RENEWED CLOUD
TO GROUND LIGHTNING STRIKES. BEHIND THIS SURFACE LOW AND TRAILING
COLD FRONT, A LIGHT NORTHERLY WIND HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS MANY AREAS
WHICH IS TRYING TO PULL SOME DRIER AIR SOUTHWARD. THIS CAN BE SEEN
VIA SATELLITE IMAGERY AS CLOUDS HAVE THINNED OUT ACROSS SOUTH-
CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA. AS A RESULT, WE MAY SEE A CONTINUED
IMPROVEMENT IN THE CEILINGS FOR A TIME. THE FORECAST CHALLENGE IS
THEN THE EXTENT OF CLOUDS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. FORECAST
SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SHOW SOME DRYING TAKING PLACE FROM THE TOP
DOWN. THIS WOULD SUGGEST THAT SOME LOW-LEVEL CLOUDS WILL HANG ON
AND THE MOS GUIDANCE LEANS THIS WAY. THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A
LOT OF WIND TO REALLY DRIVE MUCH DRIER AIR INTO OUR AREA THROUGH
THE OVERNIGHT, THEREFORE WE ARE MAINTAINING A GOOD DEAL OF
CLOUDINESS AROUND. THERE COULD BE JUST ENOUGH WIND ESPECIALLY FROM
LATE THIS EVENING ON TO PREVENT DENSE FOG, BUT NEVERTHELESS, GIVEN
THAT SEVERAL AREAS PICKED UP A DECENT AMOUNT OF RAIN, WE STILL
CARRIED SOME FOG OVERNIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY MORNING.

FOR MONDAY, WE ARE ANTICIPATING TO START OUT WITH CLOUDS AND PERHAPS
SOME FOG, HOWEVER ADDITIONAL DRYING ARRIVES FROM THE NORTH AND WEST
WITH TIME. THIS SHOULD SCOUR OUT A GOOD DEAL OF THE LINGERING
LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE AND ALLOW CLOUDS TO THIN AND CEILINGS TO RISE
TOWARD MIDDAY. ENOUGH DRYING LOOKS TO ARRIVE TO REALLY THIN
THE CLOUDS OUT BY EVENING.

OUTLOOK...
A WEAK AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN MONDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL
QUICKLY MOVE TO THE EAST AS A FAIRLY VIGOROUS SYSTEM DIVES
SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION MONDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL
DRIVE A COLD FRONT OUR WAY TUESDAY WITH THE ACTUAL FRONT PROBABLY
NOT MOVING THROUGH OUR AREA UNTIL LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY
MORNING. THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND PERHAPS SOME THUNDER
ACCOMPANYING THIS FRONT. FOLLOWING THE FRONT, AN UPPER-LEVEL
DISTURBANCE MAY REMAIN CLOSE TO THE AREA THROUGH THURSDAY BEFORE
WEAKENING AND SLIDING TO THE EAST FRIDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
KYLE CONTINUES TO MOVE TO THE NORTH AND IT PASSED DIRECTLY OVER BUOY
44011 WELL EAST OF CAPE COD WITH A GUST OF 70 KNOTS AND A PRESSURE
THAT IS DOWN TO 29.15. SEE LATEST INFORMATION FROM THE NATIONAL
HURRICANE CENTER.

THE LOW PRESSURE THAT HAS TAKEN DAYS TO GET THIS FAR NORTH IS MOVING
THROUGH PA AND WILL BECOME PART OF THE ENVIRONMENT ASSOCIATED WITH
KYLE OVERNIGHT. UPPER SHORT WAVE IS ALSO HELPING TO KICK THE WEAK
LOW AND KYLE FARTHER OFFSHORE. OUR SEAS CONTINUE UP AROUND 8 FT BUT
IN LONG PERIOD 12 SECOND SWELLS. THE TREND WILL BE FOR THE SEAS TO
CONTINUE TO LAY DOWN BUT WELL HAVE ANOTHER GO AROUND WITH SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORIES FOR SEAS. WINDS ARE NO ISSUE NOW OR FOR THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS.

THE LATEST WAVE MEASURING LOCATIONS HAVE 4 FT AT AVALON...3 FEET AT
LONG BEACH ISLAND AND 2 FEET AT OCEAN GROVE. BETHANY BEACH 3 FEET
AND THE LOWER DELAWARE BAY LESS THAN 1 FOOT. CAPE MAY FERRY REPORT
IS FOR LIGHT SEAS AND WINDS.

THE UPPER PATTERN IS CHANGING AND IT WILL TAKE THE COLD FRONT
OFFSHORE LATE THIS EVENING WITH SOME COLD AIR ADVECTION AT 80H AND
THERE MAY BE A SUNRISE GUST TO AROUND 15 OR 20 KTS BUT ONLY BRIEFLY.
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL FILL IN BEHIND THE FRONT AND THEN ANOTHER
LOW OVER THE OHIO VALLEY MONDAY NIGHT WILL MOVE TO THE COAST WITH
ITS COLD FRONT MOVING OFFSHORE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL BE A
LITTLE STRONGER THIS TIME AS MODERATE COLD AIR RUSHES IN BEHIND THE
FRONT. A DEEP UPPER LOW IS FORECAST TO REMAIN OVER THE EASTERN U.S.
AS A STRONG RIDGE BUILDS IN THE EAST.

RIP CURRENTS...
LONG PERIOD SWELLS CONTINUE TO REACH THE BEACHES AND PLACES OUR RISK
FOR RIP CURRENTS IN THE MODERATE RANGE. SOME IMPROVEMENT WILL TAKE
PLACE BUT REMEMBER IF YOU PLAN TO GO IN THE WATER DURING THE DAY
MAKE SURE YOU ARE NEAR SOMEONE...DONT GO IN AT NIGHT OR ALONE.

RIP CURRENTS ARE TRICKY BUSINESS AND CAN CATCH YOU TOTALLY BY
SURPRISE BECAUSE EVENT THOUGH THERE MAY BE A LOW RISK...RIP CURRENTS
ARE ALWAYS PRESENT ON SOME BEACHES ESPECIALLY AROUND PIERS
JETTIES.

AFTER TODAY, THE THREAT IS EXPECTED TO DROP TO MODERATE. THAT SHOULD
DO IT FOR THE RIP CURRENT SEASON, WHICH ENDS THE LAST DAY OF
SEPTEMBER AND RESUMES AGAIN AROUND MEMORIAL DAY 2009.
