The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.
Strong west winds followed a cold frontal passage during the afternoon and evening of the 14th in Delaware. Peak wind gusts averaged close to 50 mph and tore down weak tree limbs and wires. Peak wind gusts included 48 mph in Dover (Kent County), Lewes (Sussex County) and the New Castle County Airport. The strong winds were fueled by the pressure difference between the cold front's low pressure system that moved through New England and a high pressure system building east from the western Great Lakes. The strong winds slowly decreased overnight as the low pressure system moved farther away from Delaware.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Feb 14, 11:33 AM EST, 1 hour 27 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1133 AM EST MON FEB 14 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
DRY WEATHER SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH THIS PERIOD WITH A STRONG
WARMUP DURING THE LATER PART OF THIS WEEK. A STRONG COLD FRONT
WILL CROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. CHILLY HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD IN BEHIND THE FRONT TONIGHT...REACHING THE MID ATLANTIC
COAST WEDNESDAY. THIS HIGH WILL INFLUENCE OUR WEATHER THROUGH THE
END OF THE WEEK. A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO CROSS THE REGION NEXT
WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 11 PM THIS EVENING/...
ALL PRODUCTS ARE POSTED AND ON THE SAME WINDY WARM THEME FOR TODAY.
STRONG CAA SHOULD DEVELOP DURING MID AFTERNOON BUT NOT UNTIL HIGHS
WITHIN 3F OF 61 IN MUCH OF THE AREA ALONG AND SE OF I95 WHICH
INCLUDES MOST OF NJ/DEL AND E MD. 12Z IAD SOUNDING FCSTS FULL SS
MAX OF 71 TO E OF IAD AND OKX 12Z SOUNDING W FULL SS WAS 67F.
COULD SEE IT REACH 67-68F IN S DEL THIS AFTERNOON.
12Z/14 NCEP MODELS 2M TEMPS CONTINUE CONTAMINATED COLD WITH SNOW
COVER. THIS IS A WELL MIXED SITN AND I THINK RATHER WARM THO NOT
RECORD BREAKING.
RFW ISSUED PER COLLABORATION WITH AGENCIES. ALREADY VERIFYING WITH
WIND/RH CRITERIA IN S DEL. FUEL MOISTURE'S ARE UNCERTAIN BUT SHOULD
BE DRYING RAPIDLY IN TODAY'S VIGOROUS TURNOVER/MOMENTUM TRANSFER
ENVIRONMENT OF DRY STEEP LOW LVL LAPSE RATES.
FROM 3AM BELOW...
WIND ADVISORY CONTINUES PER MID SHIFT REASONING...AT LEAST FOR S
NJ DEL AND E MD.
SOME OF OUR 12Z GUIDANCE IS INDICATING A MINOR DECOUPLING IN THE
22Z-02Z TIME FRAME BUT THEN 35-40 KT NW GUSTS TWD 05Z OVER ALL OF
THE FCST AREA DIMINISHING SLIGHTLY TWD SUNRISE TUESDAY.
MAINLY A BAND OF HIGH CLOUDS SWEEPING SEWD THIS MORNING ACROSS NJ
AND SE PA AS WELL E MD AND N DEL PER 12Z/14 NAM TSEC. THEN IT CLEARS
FOR A FEW HOURS. SC FOLLOWS FROM NW TO SE BEGINNING POCONOS AROUND
1630Z REACHING KPHL AROUND 20-21Z.
WE EXPECT 45 TO 50 MPH WIND GUSTS. THERE IS A LOW PROBABILITY
THAT WINDS COULD APPROACH 55 MPH IN GUSTS NEAR THE FRONTAL PASSAGE
(OR WINDS GETTING CLOSE TO HIGH WIND WARNING CRITERIA). AT THIS
POINT...THE BEST PRESSURE RISES ARE STILL BACK TO THE WEST...SO
FOR NOW A WIND ADVISORY SHOULD COVER THE EVENT.
MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES STEEPEN AS THE MID LEVEL SHORT APPROACHES
LATER THIS AFTERNOON. SUB CLOUD LAYERS SHOULD BE FAIRLY DRY...SO
FOR NOW THE BEST CHANCE OF AN PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE ACROSS THE
HIGHER TERRAIN. AS THE COLD COOLS LATER THIS AFTERNOON...RAIN
SHOWERS COULD CHANGE TO SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN POCONOS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /11 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE BEST SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT OCCURS DURING THE EVENING HOURS.
THIS IS ALSO THE TIME OF THE BEST MIXING UNDER THE INVERSION IN THE
COLD AIR ADVECTION. BASED ON A LOCAL HIGH WIND WARNING DECISION
TREE...IT WOULD APPEAR THAT A STRONG WIND ADVISORY SHOULD STILL BE
APPROPRIATE. WHILE STRONG WIND GUSTS TEND TO BE LESS LIKELY AFTER
SUNSET...THIS SITUATION APPEARS TO BE AN EXCEPTION TO THAT RULE.
THE BEST GRADIENT EXITS AFTER 0600 UTC TO THE EAST...AS DOES THE
BEST MIXING POTENTIAL. AFTER THIS TIME...WINDS SHOULD SLOWLY
DIMINISH TOWARD MORNING. ANY CLOUDS THIS EVENING SHOULD DIMINISH AS
THE COLUMN DRIES IN THE COLD AIR ADVECTION. THE EXCEPTION HERE WILL
BE THE HIGHER TERRAIN...WHERE THE UPSLOPE FLOW MAY BE JUST ENOUGH
FOR CLOUDS TO CONTINUE...AS WELL AS FLURRIES.
TEMPERATURES WILL DROP QUICKLY IN THE NEW AIRMASS...BUT SHOULD
REMAINED WELL MIXED. THIS MAKES THE LOW TEMPERATURES ADVERTISED BY
THE GFS MOS LOOK TOO COLD...AND LOWS WERE BASED ON A MOS BLEND.
THE WIND WILL REMAIN IN PLACE TUESDAY...BUT THE GRADIENT STARTS TO
BACK OFF IN THE AFTERNOON. THE COLD AIR ADVECTION ENDS EARLY...AND
THE CYCLONIC FLOW IN THE MID LEVELS BACK TO ZONAL BY AFTERNOON. THE
COLUMN LOOKS TO BE VERY DRY...AND OUTSIDE OF THE HIGHER TERRAIN
EARLY...THERE MAY BER A MINIMUM OF CLOUDINESS ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA.
THE AIRMASS WARMS IN THE AFTERNOON...BUT AFTER A COLD START HIGHS
SHOULD REBOUND TO A MOS BLEND MIX. THIS IS ABOUT 3 TO 6 DEGREES
BELOW NORMAL...AND 10 TO 15 DEGREES COOLER THAN THIS AFTERNOON.
THE WINDS LOOK TO DROP OFF ALMOST COMPLETELY TUESDAY NIGHT...
ALLOWING FOR A GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING NIGHT WITH MID LEVEL RIDGING
IN PLACE. LOWS WERE BASED ON A MOS BLEND...THEN DROPPED A BIT IN THE
NORMALLY COLDER AREAS (INCLUDING THE PINE BARRENS IN NJ).
A SHORT WAVE RIDING DOWN THE BACK OF THE COLLAPSING MID LEVEL
RIDGING COULD RESULT IN CLOUDS WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER...THE COLUMN LOOKS
MUCH TOO DRY FOR ANY PRECIPITATION. HIGHS WEDNESDAY AFTER A COLD
START SHOULD REBOUND CLOSER TO THE GFS MOS NUMBERS IN THE DRY
AIRMASS IN PLACE.
THE WELL ADVERTISED 2ND WARM-UP OF THE UPCOMING WEEK WILL BE WELL
UNDER WAY DURING THE BEGINNING OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD. A HUGE HIGH
PRESSURE SYSTEM OFF THE EAST COAST AND BUILDING H5 HEIGHTS ACROSS
THE AREA WILL AID THE CONTINUED MILDNESS THROUGH THE END OF THE
WEEK. HIGHS THURSDAY WILL BE LOW TO MID 50S NORTH AND MID TO
UPPER 50S SOUTH.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
READINGS ON FRIDAY WILL BE FIVE OR SO DEGREES WARMER (THAN THU)
WITH PLENTY OF 60S TO BE FOUND ACROSS THE REGION. FYI...THE LAST
TIME PHILADELPHIA WAS 60 DEGREES WAS 12/12/10 AND 65 DEGREES WAS
12/1/10.
LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE NORTH OF THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY.
ITS ATTACHED FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA SAT AND BRING AN END TO THE
OVERLY MILD READINGS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE KNOCKED BACK TO "NEAR
NORMAL" BY SUNDAY. THE HIGHS ON SATURDAY MAY STILL GET INTO THE 50S
DEPENDING ON HOW FAST CLOUDS AND ANY SCATTERED SHOWERS MOVE IN.
THESE SHOWERS MOSTLY ON SATURDAY WILL BE THE ONLY PRECIPITATION IN
THE EXTENDED PERIOD. ANY COOLER TEMPERATURES SAT NIGHT MAY CAUSE
SOME OF THE PRECIP TO END AS SNOW SHOWERS.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.
VFR CONDITIONS ARE GENERALLY EXPECTED THROUGH THE TAF VALID
PERIOD...WITH THE PRIMARY CONCERN STRONG WINDS THIS AFTERNOON INTO
THIS EVENING...POSSIBLY APPROACHING OR NEAR 40 KNOTS.
PATCHES OF CIRROSTRATUS AND SOME ALTOCUMULUS WILL FILTER THROUGH THE
TAF SITES EARLY THIS MORNING AHEAD OF A SURFACE COLD FRONT WHICH
WILL APPROACH DURING MID AND LATE MORNING. WINDS WILL BE FROM THE
SOUTHWEST AHEAD OF THE FRONT THIS MORNING...WITH SPEEDS HIGHEST
SOUTHEAST AND GUSTY...AND LIGHTEST NORTHWEST THROUGH SUNRISE. THE
FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE EASTWARD THROUGH THE AREA RATHER RAPIDLY
FROM LATE MORNING AND MIDDAY INTO EARLY AFTERNOON. THERE COULD BE A
FEW LIGHT SHOWERS AT THE NORTHERN TAF SITES BUT THESE WILL BE LEFT
OUT OF THE FORECAST FOR NOW AS VISIBILITIES ARE NOT EXPECTED TO
LOWER MUCH IF AT ALL. STRATOCUMULUS WILL BECOME BROKEN WITH AND
AFTER THE FRONT. A FEW LOCATIONS COULD EXPERIENCE MARGINAL VFR
CEILINGS FOR A BRIEF PERIOD THIS AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY NORTH.
AS MENTIONED THE BIGGER STORY WILL BE THE WINDS. SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO INCREASE AFTER SUNRISE AS MIXING TO THE SURFACE BECOMES
MORE EFFICIENT. WITH AND AFTER THE COLD FRONT DOWNWARD MOMENTUM FLUX
WILL BE MAXIMIZED. 925 HPA WINDS INCREASING TO 40 TO 45 KNOTS COULD
LEAD TO SURFACE GUSTS NEAR 40 KNOTS...PERSISTING UNTIL A LITTLE BIT
AFTER DARK WITH GUSTS GRADUALLY DECREASING THROUGH THE EVENING.
HOWEVER...WINDS WILL LIKELY STILL BE IN THE 15 GUST 25 KNOT RANGE
AFTER MIDNIGHT...PERHAPS LIGHTER NORTHWEST...WITH SKIES MOSTLY
CLEARING IN THE EVENING OR BY MIDNIGHT.
OUTLOOK...
HIGH PRESSURE, MOVING IN FROM THE WEST, WILL BRING A LACK OF CLOUDS
FOR TUESDAY WITH GRADUALLY DIMINISHING WINDS. THE HIGH WILL MOVE
SLOWLY ACROSS OUR AREA, BRINGING EXCELLENT VFR FLYING CONDITIONS,
AND DOMINATE OUR WEATHER UNTIL THE END OF THE WEEK. AT THAT TIME, A
FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL MOVE IN FROM THE WEST AND BRING OUR NEXT THREAT
FOR LOWER CONDITIONS FRIDAY NIGHT OR SATURDAY.
&&
.MARINE...
PRE-FRONTAL SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS THIS MORNING ARE
FORECAST TO TRANSITION TO GALE WARNING LEVELS OF WIND AFTER A COLD
FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE COASTAL WATERS DURING THIS AFTERNOON. THESE
WINDS ARE FORECAST TO PERSIST TONIGHT...AND LAST INTO TUESDAY
MORNING. SINCE GALE CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR LATER IN THE
FIRST PERIOD...THE GALE WARNING WILL BE STARTED FOR THE FIRST
PERIOD.
ALTHOUGH 1000 HPA WINDS ARE NOT SO DRAMATIC...925 HPA WINDS DO RAMP
UP TO THE 45 TO 50 KNOTS RANGE LATER TODAY. IN THE POST-FRONTAL
REGIME THESE WINDS SHOULD MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE UNDER A
DISAPPEARING INVERSION THIS AFTERNOON. SO THE GALE WARNING WILL
START IN THE FIRST PERIOD ON THE OCEAN AND DELAWARE BAY...AND LAST
THROUGH 17Z TUESDAY WHEN WINDS ARE SEEN TO DROP OFF.
HIGH PRESSURE MOVING IN FROM THE WEST WILL BRING DIMINISHING WINDS
AND SEAS LATER TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. THESE RELATIVELY TRANQUIL
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL ANOTHER COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM
THE WEST LATE IN THE WEEK.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
THE PAST WEEK OR SO HAS BEEN DRY ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION...WITH
THE LAST MEANINGFUL PRECIPITATION OCCURRING ABOUT 8 DAYS AGO IN
PHILADELPHIA. WIND TODAY...ALONG WITH THE DRY CONDITIONS...SET
THE STAGE FOR ENHANCED FIRE WEATHER DANGER TODAY AND TUESDAY.
THE LATEST NOHRSC SNOW DEPTH MAP(VALID ON THE 13TH) SHOWS THAT
EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA...NORTHERN...CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST NEW
JERSEY...NORTHERNMOST DELAWARE AND CECIL COUNTY HAVE ENOUGH SNOW TO
EXCLUDE THEM FROM ENHANCED FIRE DANGER CONSIDERATION. THIS LEAVES
SOUTHEAST NEW JERSEY...CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN DELAWARE AND THE REST OF
OUR NORTHEAST MARYLAND ZONES AS AREAS FOR CONSIDERATION.
FORECAST 10 HOUR DEAL FUEL MOISTURE VALUES FOR THESE AREAS REMAIN
NEAR CRITERIA FOR THE SNOW-LESS AREA. STATE FORESTRY OFFICIALS
INDICATED THAT WHILE THE DEAD FUEL MOISTURE VALUES MAY BE CLOSE TO
CRITERIA... CONDITIONS JUST UNDERNEATH REMAIN TOO MOIST FOR THE
RAPID SPREAD OF WILDFIRES TODAY. ISSUED RFW PER COLLAB WITH MD AND
DEL AGENCIES.
MAY HAVE A REPEAT FIRE WEATHER SITN TUESDAY AFTN?
TODAY MAY ALSO PRIME CONDITIONS FOR LATER IN THE WEEK...AS WARMER
AND DRIER CONDITIONS RETURN WEDNESDAY AND ESPECIALLY THURSDAY.
