Flash Flooding and Flood in Pennsylvania, May 7, 2009

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
925 PM EDT WED MAY 6 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A STATIONARY FRONT TO THE SOUTH OF THE REGION WILL CONTINUE TO
PUSH NORTHWARD TONIGHT INTO THE DELMARVA AREA. A COLD FRONT WILL
APPROACH FROM THE WEST CROSSING THROUGH THE REGION ON THURSDAY.
A WEAKER SYSTEM WILL PUSH THROUGH ON FRIDAY FOLLOWED BY A COLD
FRONT ON SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD IN FOR SUNDAY
THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
ZONES AND OTHER PUBLIC PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN UPDATED. A FLOOD WATCH
HAS BEEN ISSUED FROM NORTHERN DELAWARE...UP ALONG THE COUNTIES
ADJACENT TO THE LOWER DELAWARE RIVER...AND THEN UP TO SOMERSET
COUNTY NJ. MONMOUTH COUNTY WAS INCLUDED ALSO. AS HEAVY RAINS MOVE
UP ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT, IT APPEARS POSSIBLE THAT THEY MAY
PRODUCE ENOUGH RAINS TO CREATE THE POSSIBILITY FOR SOME FLOODING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS THE REGION TO THE NORTH OVERNIGHT, DRAGGING
ITS COLD FRONT ACROSS ON THURSDAY. WITH CONSIDERABLE MOISTURE IN
PLACE, RAIN WILL BE SEEN ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH AT LEAST
THURSDAY MORNING. WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE WE MAY SEE SOME
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP, MAINLY TO THE SOUTH OF THE LEHIGH VALLEY.
THE CHANCES FOR ANY THUNDER WILL DECREASE THROUGH LATE MORNING AS
SOME DRIER AIR TRIES TO MAKES ITS WAY IN. CLOUDS SHOULD START TO
CLEAR SOMEWHAT AND SKIES SHOULD REMAIN PARTLY CLOUDY. ANY
LINGERING SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO DISSIPATE THROUGH
THE EVENING. SOME AREAS OF LOCALIZED FLOODING MAY OCCUR IN SE PA
AND CENTRAL NJ. PLEASE SEE THE HYDRO SECTION BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS.

WE HAVE LEFT SOME SLIGHT CHANCES IN FOR THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY AS WAVE MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. THERE SEEMS THAT WILL BE
ANOTHER BREAK IN THE PRECIPITATION FRIDAY AND THE SUN LOOKS TO
MAKE YET ANOTHER APPEARANCE FOR US THIS WEEK.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A WET START TO THE WEEKEND AS A COLD FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH THE
REGION SATURDAY WITH SOME MORE SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH IT. ENOUGH
INSTABILITY EXISTS AT THIS TIME TO INCLUDE THUNDER FOR SATURDAY AS
WELL. BEHIND THIS SYSTEM SEEMS TO BE A REPRIEVE FROM THE WET
CONDITIONS WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING. HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO
BUILD TOWARD THE AREA FROM THE WEST. AS WE END THE WEEKEND AND
HEAD INTO NEXT WEEK, THE HIGH CONTINUES TO DOMINATE THE WEATHER,
DRYING US OUT AND BRINGING MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES TO THE
ENTIRE REGION.

&&

.AVIATION /01Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

THE SOON TO BE ISSUED TAFS WILL BE TAKING CIGS AND VSBYS DOWN INTO
IFR LEVELS OVERNIGHT WITH IMPROVING CONDITIONS DURING THE DAY ON
THURSDAY. THE MOST PESSIMISTIC FORECAST WILL BE FOR KABE AND KRDG
WHICH WILL HAVE A STEADY RAIN THROUGH MOST OF THE NIGHT WITH THE
GREATEST CONFIDENCE OF IFR CONDITIONS OCCURRING. FOR THE LOCAL KPHL
AIRPORTS WE ARE EXPECTING A BAND OF RAIN TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION
BETWEEN ABOUT 02Z AND 06Z WITH A BREAK FOR A FEW HOURS AFTER 06Z. IN
SPITE OF THE BREAK OF THE PCPN, UPWIND THERE ARE IFR CIGS THAT
SHOULD EITHER ADVECT IN OR REMAIN BECAUSE OF THE PCPN. FOR KACY AND
KMIV WE ARE EXPECTING MOST OF THE INITIAL SHOT OF PRECIPITATION
SHOULD PASS TO OUR WEST. NEVERTHELESS THE ONSHORE FLOW SHOULD BE
BRINGING IN IFR CIGS. THERE ARE THUNDERSTORMS DOWN IN THE NORFOLK
AREA THAT WE WILL HAVE TO MONITOR FOR KACY AND KMIV.

BETWEEN 06Z AND 10Z WE ADDED LLWS TO ALL OF THE TAF SITES AS A LOW
LEVEL JET OF BETWEEN 45 AND 55 KTS IS FORECAST TO PASS THROUGH THE
TERMINAL AREA.

TOWARD MORNING WE ARE EXPECTING A BAND OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS TO MOVE THROUGH THE TERMINAL REGION. THIS SHOULD BE
THE GREATEST LIKELIHOOD FOR HEAVIER RAIN. IRONICALLY THE HEAVY RAIN
MIGHT LIFT THE CIGS. A WEAKENING FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION
DURING THURSDAY MORNING. THE ENVIRONMENT IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE AS
FAVORABLE FOR WIDESPREAD PCPN AS THE DEEPEST MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY IS FORECAST TO BE OFFSHORE. THE CHANCES FOR
PRECIPITATION SHOULD DECREASE AS THE DAY CONTINUES ESPECIALLY FOR
THE WESTERN TERMINALS. IN ADDITION WITH LESS MOISTURE CIGS AND VSBYS
SHOULD BECOME VFR BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

OUTLOOK...
ANOTHER SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH ON FRIDAY WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING. YET ANOTHER SYSTEM MAY BRING SOME SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE
THUNDER DURING SATURDAY, THEN HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO BUILD
INTO THE AREA DURING SUNDAY. THIS HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM BUILDS CLOSER
DURING MONDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
THE CONDITIONS ON THE AREA WATERS ARE FAIRLY TRANQUIL WITH SEAS ON
DELAWARE BAY 1 FOOT OR LESS AND 2 TO 4 FEET ON THE OCEAN. A
SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW HAS BEEN DOMINANT ALTHOUGH IT IS 10 KNOTS OR
LESS. WE AWAIT THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM TO ARRIVE THROUGH THE EVENING
AS LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO TRACK TO OUR WEST OVERNIGHT AND
THURSDAY MORNING. AS THIS FEATURE SLIDES CLOSER OVERNIGHT, A
LOW-LEVEL JET IS FORECAST TO INCREASE. THERE IS A RATHER PRONOUNCED
LOW-LEVEL INVERSION FORECAST THROUGH THE NIGHT AND MOST OF THURSDAY,
THEREFORE THE STRONGER WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE THE
SURFACE. HOWEVER, THE FLOW WITHIN THE BOUNDARY APPEARS TO INCREASE
ENOUGH THROUGH THE NIGHT TO POTENTIALLY PRODUCE GUSTS TO ABOUT
ADVISORY CRITERIA. THIS IS PARTICULARLY TRUE IF THE WARM SECTOR
SLIDES FARTHER TO THE NORTH, ALLOWING THE LOW-LEVEL INVERSION TO
ERODE SOME. WE WILL MAINTAIN THE ADVISORY AS IS ON THE OCEAN, BUT
EXTEND IT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT TO CATCH THE SEAS AS THEY SHOULD
REMAIN ELEVATED FOR AWHILE. THIS MAY BE A LITTLE LONG, ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN WATERS, AS WAVEWATCH HAS BEEN OVERDOING THE WAVE
HEIGHTS MANY TIMES OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS. ON THE LOWER DELAWARE
BAY, WIND GUSTS MAY REACH 25 KNOTS FOR A TIME LATER TONIGHT AND
EARLY THURSDAY MORNING, THEREFORE WE WILL DELAY THE START TIME OF
THE ADVISORY UNTIL LATE THIS EVENING THEN END IT ABOUT 12Z THURSDAY.
WE WILL HOLD OFF ON AN ADVISORY FOR THE UPPER PART OF THE BAY AS IT
MAY END UP MORE MARGINAL HERE.

ANOTHER SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH ON FRIDAY WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING. THE SOUTHERLY FLOW MAY NOT BE STRONG ENOUGH TO BUILD SEAS
BACK UP SIGNIFICANTLY AGAIN, BUT WILL MONITOR. ANY THUNDERSTORMS
COULD PRODUCE LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS AND HIGHER SEAS. YET ANOTHER
SYSTEM MAY BRING SOME SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE THUNDER DURING SATURDAY,
THEN HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO BUILD INTO THE AREA DURING SUNDAY.
THIS HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM BUILDS CLOSER DURING MONDAY.
