AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
203 AM EST WED NOV 17 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER LAKE ERIE WILL REACH EASTERN
CANADA WEDNESDAY WHIPPING A COOL FRONT OFF OUR MID ATLANTIC COAST
AROUND DAYBREAK WEDNESDAY. BEHIND THE FRONT... HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD INTO THE AREA WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A COLD FRONT
WILL CROSS THE AREA THURSDAY EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BECOME
NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES FRIDAY INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS BEEN EXPANDED NORTHWARD TO
INCLUDE PARTS OF EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA. STRONG FRONTAL/SYNOPTIC
FORCING HAS BEEN HELPING TO ORGANIZE A NARROW COLD FRONTAL
RAINBAND WITH LIGHTNING ON THE INCREASE AT TIMES. THERE HAS BEEN
SOME SMALL BOWING FEATURES EMBEDDED WITHIN THIS LINE WITH SOME
SURFACE GUSTS TO NEAR 40 KNOTS THUS FAR. THE CORRIDOR OF
INSTABILITY IS BEING PULLED NORTH AHEAD OF THIS LINE, HOWEVER
DRIER AIR MAY BEGIN TO UNDERCUT THIS LINE AS IT MOVES FARTHER
EASTWARD. THE MAIN THREAT IS DAMAGING WIND GUSTS GIVEN THE INTENSE
WIND FIELD ABOVE THE SURFACE, BUT STILL HAVE TO MONITOR FOR
POSSIBLY SOME STORM ROTATION GIVEN THE STRONG SHEAR IN PLACE
AHEAD OF THE FRONT. FARTHER SOUTH ACROSS THE DELMARVA, THE BOWING
SEGMENT THAT MOVED THROUGH THE WASHINGTON DC AREA HAS BROKEN UP
SOME, ALTHOUGH SOME UPDRAFTS ARE SHOWING SOME SIGNS OF
REORGANIZATION AND MAY TURN SEVERE. PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN UPDATED TO
INCLUDE THE EXPANDED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HEADLINE AND ALSO
TO ADJUST TEMPERATURES AND POPS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD END FAIRLY QUICKLY WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE
COLD FRONT AND DESCENDING AIR BEHIND THE STRONG SHORT WAVE THAT
PASSES CLOSE TO 1200 UTC WEDNESDAY. CLOUDINESS SHOULD DROP OFF
QUICKLY AS WELL...BUT MAY HOLD ON ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN THE COLD
AIR ADVECTION DURING THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS.
THE MAIN CONCERN FOR WEDNESDAY WILL BE WINDS. MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW
45 TO 50 KNOTS OF WIND AT THE TOP OF THE INCREASING MIXED LAYER...
MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE BEST POTENTIAL FOR WIND ADVISORY
GUSTS WOULD BE IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS.
BASED ON MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOWING 45 TO 55 KNOTS AT THE TOP OF THE
INVERSION ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL AREAS. THE BEST GRADIENT PICKS
UP RIGHT BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...WITH THE DEPTH OF THE MIXED LAYER
REACHING 4000 TO 5000 FEET DURING THE AFTERNOON. THIS WOULD ALLOW
ACCESS TO 50 KNOTS OF WIND...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN
AND NEAR THE COAST.
LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES (TO THE TOP OF THE INVERSION) SHOULD BE NEARLY
ADIABATIC WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND COLD AIR ADVECTION UNDERWAY.
BASED ON THIS...A WIND ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED FOR WEDNESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY EVENING FOR THE NORTHERN TWO THIRDS OF THE FORECAST AREA.
AGAIN...THE BEST CHANCE OF ADVISORY WIND GUSTS WOULD BE ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN POCONOS AND NORTHERN AREAS...WHERE THE BEST PRESSURE RISES
COINCIDE WITH THE BEST GRADIENT.
HIGH TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY WILL BE ABOUT 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL AS
THE WARM COLUMN MIXES DOWN AHEAD OF THE COLD AIR ADVECTION AND WARMS
MOST PLACES INTO THE 60S. WHILE TEMPERATURES MAY FALL IN THE
AFTERNOON ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN DURING THE AFTERNOON...STEADY
TEMPERATES ARE MORE LIKELY ELSEWHERE.
WINDS MAY REMAIN UP FOR A TIME WEDNESDAY EVENING AS THE COLD AIR
ADVECTION CONTINUES AND THE DEPTH OF THE MIXED LAYER REMAINS FAIRLY
HIGH. NOT MUCH IN THE WAY OF SENSIBLE WEATHER WITH LOWS BASED MAINLY
ON THE MOS BLEND.
THE NEXT SHORT WAVE IN THE NORTHERN FLOW COMES ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA DURING LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING THURSDAY. MID LEVEL
TEMPERATURES DROP TO NEAR MINUS 29 CELSIUS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON
AND EARLY EVENING...PROMPTING DECENT VERTICAL VELOCITY. BASED ON THE
TIMING OF THE SHORT WAVE PASSAGE...FOR NOW WILL CARRY A MENTION OF
PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN (AND MAINLY NORTH AND WEST
OF THE I 95 CORRIDOR) FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
AFTER THE SHORT WAVE PASSES THURSDAY NIGHT...COLDER TEMPERATURES
WITH GENERALLY FAIR CONDITIONS FOR FRIDAY.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
FAIR WEATHER WILL BE ACROSS THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC REGION THIS WEEKEND
AS A SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BE IN CONTROL OF THE WEATHER.
A LOW WILL BE MOVING BY ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA...SO A WARM SW FLOW
WILL BE ACROSS THE REGION. TEMPERATURES WILL BE AT OR A LITTLE ABOVE
NORMAL FRI NIGHT INTO SUN. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL MOSTLY BE IN THE
50S...AND LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE 30S.
A STORM TRACK LYING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE GREAT LAKES
WILL SEND A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM NORTH OF THE AREA MONDAY AND
TUESDAY. THE SYSTEM WILL PROBABLY BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO SEND SOME EXTRA
CLOUDINESS AND PRECIPITATION TO NORTHERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA.
POPS WERE LEFT IN THE SLGT CHC/LOW CHC RANGE ATTM. CONFID IS LIMITED
WITH THE SYSTEM WITH THE LATEST MODELS OFFERING SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT
SOLUTIONS TODAY COMPARED TO YESTERDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY BE
TOO WARM TO SUPPORT ANY FROZEN PRECIPITATION WITH THE SYSTEM. A FEW
FLAKES ACROSS THE SOUTHERN POCONOS WOULD NOT BE TOO SURPRISING
THOUGH.
&&
.AVIATION /07Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.
OVERNIGHT...06Z TAFS ARE A SLY FLOW MIX OF CIGS 400-1400FT...SCT
SHOWERS AND LLWS. A FINE LINE OF SVR TSTMS APPROACHING FROM DCA
AREA (BOWING AT 0545Z) AND CROSSING PARTS OF OUR FCST AREA BETWEEN
07Z-10Z.
AFTER 10Z TODAY...VFR WITH OCNL CIGS 4000-5000 FT AND A GUSTY WSW
WIND 30-40 KNOTS. BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR CIGS IN THE 13Z-18Z TIME
FRAME POCONOS.
TONIGHT...VFR WITH DIMINISHING W WIND GUSTS TO LESS THAN 25KTS BY

OUTLOOK THU-SUN...VFR. GUSTS GENERALLY LESS THAN 20 KNOTS EXCEPT
WNW WIND GUSTS 25 KNOTS DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS SATURDAY.

.MARINE...
1130 PM UPDATE...GALE WARNING EXPANDED AND REPLACES PREVIOUS SCA.
ADDED THE SVR TSTM WATCH FOR UPPER DEL BAY AT 1222AM.
OVERNIGHT...MARGINAL S 30-35 KT GUSTS IN PROGRESS. FINE LINE
W CDFNT MIGHT PRODUCE A BRIEF G40 KTS.
WEDNESDAY...WSW WIND GUSTS 35-40 KNOTS SHOULD START AROUND 12Z IN
COOLER DRIER AIR ADVECTION.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WNW WINDS DIMINISH BUT GUSTS 35-40 KTS MAY
LINGER IN PORTIONS OF THE OUTER ATLC COASTAL WATERS TIL 05Z.
ANOTHER COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO CROSS THE WATERS LATE THURSDAY.
WINDS BEHIND THIS FRONT WILL BECOME NW AND COULD GUST TO AROUND 25
KT THURSDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE THEN WILL MOVE BACK IN TO PROVIDE
US WITH FAIR WEATHER FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
LATEST GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT THERE COULD BE SOME MINOR TIDAL
FLOODING PROBLEMS MAINLY WITH THE AFTERNOON HIGH TIDE ON WEDNESDAY
ALONG CHESAPEAKE BAY AND POSSIBLY ALONG PORTIONS OF DELAWARE BAY.
HOWEVER, IT APPEARS TO BE A MARGINAL EVENT AND WITH CONFIDENCE NOT
VERY HIGH, NO ADVISORIES OR WARNINGS WILL BE ISSUED AT THIS TIME.
AND SINCE WE STILL HAVE ABOUT 24 HOURS BEFORE THE EVENT, WE HAVE
PLENTY OF TIME TO REEVALUATE THE SITUATION.
