Flash Flood in New Jersey, August 17, 2010

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
323 PM EDT TUE AUG 17 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL STALL ACROSS VIRGINIA AND MARYLAND DURING
TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. LOW PRESSURE RIDING ALONG THE FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO PASS OFF THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC COAST EARLY ON THURSDAY,
TAKING THE BOUNDARY ALONG WITH IT. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD
FOLLOW FOR THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY
FROM THE NORTHWEST IS FORECAST TO ARRIVE ON FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
IS THEN EXPECTED OVER THE REGION NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
CONVECTION HAS FIRED ALONG THE SEA BREEZE FRONT IN DE AND
SOUTHEAST NJ WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS OVER SUSSEX COUNTY DE.

CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO SUBSIDE AFTER SUNSET...AND THEN
REDEVELOP LATER TONIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE BEGINS TO DEVELOP TO OUR SOUTH.

GFS/NAM MOS TEMPERATURE VALUES ARE CLOSE FOR TONIGHT AND WERE
FOLLOWED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
POTENTIAL HEAVY RAINFALL IS THE MAIN STORY FOR THIS TIME PERIOD.
HPC/MARFC QPF ARE QUITE CLOSE. HPC QPF WAS USED AS PRIMARY
FORECAST INPUT. EXPECT THERE MAY BE A FAIRLY SHARP NORTHERN
GRADIENT TO THE SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION. GIVEN HIGH
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES...MENTION OF POSSIBLE HEAVY RAINFALL FOR
WED & WED NIGHT WAS INCLUDED FOR SOUTHERN PORTION OF FORECAST
AREA.

BESIDES MENTIONING HEAVY RAINFALL IN FORECAST, WILL CONTINUE
MENTION IN HWO.

PRECIPITATION EXPECTED TO END EARLY THU AS LOW PRESSURE PULLS OFF
THE COAST.

DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED ON FRIDAY WITH NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE UPPER RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN STATES DURING
THE LATE WEEK WILL BEGIN TO INTENSIFY AND RIDGE NORTHWARD ACROSS THE
CENTRAL U.S. DURING THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE NORTHEAST
STATES AND NEW ENGLAND WILL BE IN A DEVELOPING TROUGH AHEAD OF THE
BUILDING RIDGE. BOTH THE 12Z GFS AND 00Z ECMWF SHOW THESE FEATURES
WITH THE ECMWF SHOWING A MORE DEVELOPED TROUGH ACROSS THE EAST. THIS
PATTERN WILL CAUSE LOW PRESSURE TO MOVE FROM THE GREAT LAKES ON
SATURDAY TO OUR PART OF THE COUNTRY BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. A NEW LOW
MAY DEVELOP OFF THE COAST MON AND TUE AND BRING RENEWED SHOWER/TSTMS
TO THE AREA THIS IS SHOWN BY THE 00Z ECMWF.

IN TERMS OF CREATING THE EXTENDED FCST...HPC GRIDS WERE USED BY IN
LARGE WITH ONLY SMALL CHANGES. FRI NGT AND SAT ARE DRY FOR THE MOST
PART WITH ONLY CHC POPS WEST LATER SAT. LOW CHC OR SLGT CHC POPS ARE
IN MUCH OF THE REST OF THE PERIOD AS THE LOW AND ITS ASSOCIATED
FRONTS MEANDER ACROSS THE REGION. HEAVIER RAINS COULD DEVELOP EARLY
NEXT WEEK ALONG THE COAST ALONG WITH A DECENT ONSHORE FLOW IF THE
00Z ECMWF VERIFIES. PRESENTLY...THE HPC IS SIDING CLOSER TO THE GFS
SO ONLY LOW CHC POPS WILL BE IN THERE FOR NOW.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE CLOSE TO NORMAL OR A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL. HIGHS
OVER THE WEEKEND AND MON WILL BE MAINLY IN THE LOW TO MID 80S WITH
LOWS RANGING FROM THE LOW 60S UP NORTH TO AROUND 70 IN THE PHILLY
METRO AREA. READINGS ON TUE WILL BE A FEW DEGREES LOWER...CLOSE TO
NORMAL FOR LATE AUG.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

A WEAKENING COLD FRONT HAS NEARLY STALLED FROM FAR SOUTHEASTERN NEW
JERSEY DOWN THROUGH THE DELMARVA. THIS BOUNDARY SHOULD SETTLE A BIT
FARTHER TO THE SOUTH BEFORE COMPLETELY STALLING. BEHIND THIS FRONT,
DRIER AIR HAS WORKED INTO THE AREA ALLOWING FOR LIMITED CUMULUS
DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER, A STRENGTHENING UPPER-LEVEL JET IS TOSSING
SOME MID TO MOSTLY HIGH CLOUDS ACROSS THE AREA. ALONG AND SOUTH OF
THE FRONT, DEEPER MOISTURE IS HELPING TO INITIATE ISOLATED/SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THERE HAS BEEN SOME ACTIVITY IN THE
VICINITY OF KACY, WHICH WAS PROBABLY ENHANCED SOME BY A DEVELOPING
SEA BREEZE. THEREFORE, WE USED A VCSH WITH A CB FOR A LITTLE WHILE
TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS AND CARRIED SOME HAZE GIVEN THE HIGHER SURFACE
MOISTURE. IT APPEARS THOUGH THAT THE MAJORITY OF THIS ACTIVITY
SHOULD TEND TO STAY SOUTH AND EAST OF KACY AND KMIV, BUT WITH HIGHER
DEW POINTS HANGING ON, SOME ISOLATED ACTIVITY IS POSSIBLE FOR AWHILE
THIS AFTERNOON. ALSO WITH THE DEEPER MOISTURE STILL AT KACY AND
KMIV, SOME STRATOCUMULUS WILL LINGER FOR AWHILE. IT DOES APPEAR THAT
SOME DRYING ARRIVES EVEN HERE LATER, THEREFORE WILL NOT FAVOR ANY
FOG TONIGHT.

THE MID AND ESPECIALLY HIGH CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE
AREA TONIGHT AS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ORGANIZES TO OUR WEST ALONG
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. WHILE A NORTHWESTERLY WIND UNDER 10 KNOTS
OCCURS INTO THIS EVENING, THE FLOW IS LIGHT ENOUGH WERE SOME LOCAL
WIND SHIFTS TO THE SOUTHWEST TO EVEN SOUTHEAST WILL BE POSSIBLE.
MOST TERMINALS WILL HAVE A LIGHT AND VARIABLE WIND TONIGHT, ALTHOUGH
SOME SLIGHT INCREASE AND SHIFT TO THE NORTHEAST IS EXPECTED TOWARD
SUNRISE WEDNESDAY.

FOR WEDNESDAY, AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL BE APPROACHING FROM THE
SOUTHWEST THEREFORE THE CLOUDS WILL INCREASE AND LOWER THROUGH THE
DAY. WHILE THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY STILL WITH THE EXACT TRACK AND
PLACEMENT OF THE MAIN RAIN AREA, THERE IS A CONSENSUS THAT THE
HEAVIER RAIN OCCURS SOUTH AND EAST OF KPHL. OUR CONFIDENCE IS LOWER
THAN AVERAGE REGARDING THE TIMING, THEREFORE WE CARRIED SOME LIGHT
RAIN FROM KPHL/KPNE SOUTH AND EAST STARTING AROUND MIDDAY. THE
CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES SHOULD LOWER DURING THE AFTERNOON AND
BEYOND THE TAF PERIOD AS THE STORM SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH /THIS WAS
INDICATED IN THE KPHL 30-HOUR TAF/. KTTN, KABE AND KRDG MAY NOT SEE
MUCH RAIN FROM THIS AND PROBABLY AFTER 18Z WEDNESDAY, SO WE DID NOT
INCLUDE A MENTION FOR NOW. A LIGHT NORTHEAST TO EAST WIND WILL
INCREASE TO NEAR 10 KNOTS DURING THE DAY.

OUTLOOK...
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC REGION
WEDNESDAY NIGHT BEFORE SLIDING TO OUR EAST THURSDAY MORNING. THIS
WILL BRING AN AREA OF RAIN TO THE AREA ESPECIALLY SOUTH AND EAST OF
KPHL. THERE APPEARS TO BE A SWATH OF HEAVY RAIN MAINLY FOR KMIV AND
KACY. SOME THUNDERSTORMS CANNOT BE RULED OUT HOWEVER THIS POTENTIAL
LOOKS LOW AT THIS TIME. THIS SYSTEM WILL PRODUCE LOWERED CEILINGS
AND VISIBILITIES WITH THE BETTER CONDITIONS PROBABLY AT KABE AND
KRDG. THIS SYSTEM MOVES AWAY THURSDAY MORNING WITH IMPROVING
CONDITIONS. A WEAK AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS IN FOR FRIDAY
INTO SATURDAY, HOWEVER A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY MAY SETTLE INTO OUR
AREA AND LINGER INTO SUNDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
A WEAKENING COLD FRONT HAS SETTLED ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHERN WATERS
THIS AFTERNOON. THIS BOUNDARY SHOULD SETTLE A LITTLE FARTHER
SOUTHWARD BEFORE COMPLETELY STALLING, HOWEVER IT MAY NOT ACTUALLY
GET SOUTH OF BUOY 44009. THERE CONTINUES TO BE A VERY WARM AND HUMID
AIRMASS AHEAD OF THE FRONT, WHICH HAS ALLOWED ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE SOUTHERN WATERS.
SOME OF THE STORMS MAY CONTAIN GUSTY WINDS ALONG WITH FREQUENT CLOUD
TO GROUND LIGHTNING. THE OVERALL CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN
BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA THROUGH THE PERIOD.

AS THE FRONT STALLS WE TURN OUR ATTENTION TO THE WEST FOR A
DEVELOPING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE. THIS FEATURE IS FORECAST TO TRACK
EASTWARD AND ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT
BEFORE SLIDING TO THE EAST THURSDAY MORNING. THE SURFACE WINDS ARE
FORECAST TO SHIFT AROUND TO THE NORTHEAST AND EAST LATE TONIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY AS THE SURFACE LOW APPROACHES. THERE STILL REMAINS SOME
UNCERTAINTY ON THE EXACT TRACK OF THE SURFACE LOW WHICH WILL
ULTIMATELY DETERMINE THE WINDS. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT MORE OF A WARM
SECTOR GETS INTO OUR FAR SOUTHERN WATERS WEDNESDAY NIGHT TO ALLOW
THE WINDS TO SHIFT TO THE SOUTHEAST. THIS IS OF LOWER CONFIDENCE.
WHILE THE LOW-LEVEL FLOW IS FORECAST TO STRENGTHEN, THE FORECAST
SOUNDINGS INDICATE THE WINDS REMAIN UNDER 25 KNOTS. A SWATH OF HEAVY
RAIN LOOKS TO OCCUR WITH THIS SYSTEM, WHICH SHOULD BE MOSTLY ACROSS
OUR SOUTHERN WATERS AND DELAWARE BAY. AS THE SYSTEM MOVES AWAY ON
THURSDAY, THE WINDS WILL SHIFT AROUND TO NORTH AND THEN PROBABLY
SETTLE FROM THE SOUTH AS THE FLOW WEAKENS SOME. A WEAK AREA OF HIGH
PRESSURE THEN BUILDS IN FOR FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY, HOWEVER A WEAK
FRONTAL BOUNDARY MAY SETTLE INTO OUR AREA AND LINGER INTO SUNDAY.
