The low tide reached 2.16 feet below mean lower low water at Ship John Shoal Light in Upper Delaware Bay, 1.97 feet below mean lower low water at Reedy Island and 1.86 feet below mean lower low water at Delaware City. Blowout tides start at levels less than 1.80 feet below mean lower low water.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
806 PM EST FRI FEB 25 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE ON SATURDAY WILL GIVE WAY TO A WEAK DISTURBANCE AND
POSSIBLY SOME LIGHT SNOW SATURDAY NIGHT. ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM WILL
BRING RAIN TO THE AREA ON MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BRING
FAIR WEATHER FOR MUCH OF THE REST OF NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
WIND SPEEDS CONTINUE TO STEADILY DECREASE AND THE HIGH WIND WARNING WILL
BE REPLACED WITH A WIND ADVISORY ATTM. THE WIND ADVISORY WILL
REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT, BUT MAY BE ABLE TO BE DROPPED
SOONER, IF WINDS DIMINISH FASTER. TEMPERATURES WILL FALL SHARPLY
DURING WITH STRONG COLD ADVECTION.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE AREA ON SATURDAY WILL PROVIDE FAIR WX WITH
SEASONABLY COOL TEMPS AND LIGHT WINDS. THEN A WEAK DISTURBANCE
WILL MOVE RAPIDLY EAST ACROSS NEW YORK AND NEW ENGLAND ON SATURDAY
NIGHT. THIS COULD BRING SOME LIGHT PRECIP TO NORTHEAST PA AND NRN
NJ DURING THE NIGHT. ANY PRECIP SHOULD BE IN THE FORM OF SNOW OVR
THE POCONOS AND NW NJ...BUT COULD BE RAIN FURTHER SOUTH OVER THE
LEHIGH VLY AND N-CNTRL NJ. PRECIP SHOULD MOVE OFF TO THE EAST BY
SUNRISE ON SUNDAY.
ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM WILL AFFECT THE AREA FROM LATE SUNDAY NIGHT
INTO MONDAY EVENING. THE TRACK OF THE SFC LOW IS FCST TO BE
FURTHER N THAN THE SYSTEM TODAY AND PRECIP SHOULD BE MOSTLY IN
THE FORM OF RAIN. THERE COULD BE SOME MIXING WITH SNOW OR ICE
EARLY MONDAY MORNING OVER THE POCONOS AND NW NJ.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
DURING THE DAY ON MONDAY, A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKS FROM THE
MIDWEST TOWARD THE MID ATLANTIC REGION. BY MONDAY NIGHT INTO THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS OF TUESDAY, A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL SWING THROUGH OUR CWA. THUS CHANCE TO
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ARE MAINTAINED AT THIS TIME ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA FOR THE 0Z TO 12Z TUESDAY TIMEFRAME.
FOR THE REMAINDER OF TUESDAY, A LARGE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE
CENTRAL US GRADUALLY BUILDS EASTWARD INTO OUR REGION. HIGH PRESSURE
REMAINS THE MAIN WEATHER FEATURE FOR THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER, A WEAK SURFACE LOW IS EXPECTED TO PASS BY TO OUR
NORTH DURING WEDNESDAY AND PUSH A COLD FRONT THROUGH OUR AREA. THE
MODELS HINT AT SOME PRECIPITATION FOR OUR NORTHERN ZONES ON
WEDNESDAY, AND SLIGHT CHANCE POPS HAVE BEEN MAINTAINED. FOLLOWING
THIS SYSTEM, MORE HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES INTO THE REGION FROM THE
NORTH.
FOR TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE LONG TERM PERIOD, A BLEND OF HPC AND
CONTINUITY WAS USED.
&&
.AVIATION /01Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.
THE 00Z TAFS WILL HAVE VFR CONDITIONS FORECAST ALONG WITH
DIMINISHING WINDS. THE SURGE OF STRONGEST WINDS HAVE MOVED THROUGH
THE TERMINALS. IT JUST WENT THROUGH KACY. FOR THE REST OF THE
EVENING, A DOWNWARD TREND IS FORECAST, ALTHOUGH PEAK GUSTS SHOULD
STILL EXCEED 30 KNOTS AND POSSIBLY 40 KNOTS. A VFR STRATOCU
CEILING WILL ERODE. WE ARE SEEING IT OCCUR FROM THE SOUTH.
OVERNIGHT WINDS WILL DECREASE QUICKLY AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
CONTINUES TO MOVE QUICKLY THROUGH THE CANADIAN MARITIMES. GUSTS
ARE STILL DROPPED OVERNIGHT. WE WILL ALREADY START TO SEE HIGH
LEVEL CLOUDS ADVANCING WITH THE NEXT SYSTEM.
ON SATURDAY THE WARM AIR ADVECTION MIDDLE AND HIGH LEVEL
CLOUDINESS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ABOVE TERMINALS AT SAFELY VFR
LEVELS. UNLIKE TODAY, WINDS WILL BE RATHER LIGHT AND SLOWLY SHIFT
FROM THE NW TO THE SW. OVERALL SPEEDS SHOULD AVERAGE LESS THAN 10 KNOTS.
OUTLOOK...
A SURFACE LOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHORT WAVE WILL MOVE NORTH OF
THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. MOST OF THE MOISTURE
WITH THIS SYSTEM SHOULD STAY NORTH OF THE AREA...THOUGH KABE AND
KRDG COULD SEE MVFR CONDITIONS WITH SOME LIGHT SNOW SATURDAY
NIGHT.
ANOTHER HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM SHOULD BRING VFR CONDITIONS FOR SUNDAY
INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL AFFECT THE REGION MONDAY
INTO MONDAY NIGHT...WITH MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE AHEAD OF A
WARM FRONT MONDAY...THEN GUSTY WINDS AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT MONDAY
NIGHT.
&&
.MARINE...
THE STRONGEST WIND GUSTS HAVE PASSED THROUGH THE MARINE AREA AND
GALE FORCE GUSTS SHOULD SLOWLY DECREASE OVERNIGHT.
THE GRADIENT BACKS OFF QUICKLY AFTER 0600 UTC SATURDAY...AS THE
SURFACE LOW TAKES OFF FOR NOVA SCOTIA. WINDS MAY BE BACK TO SMALL
CRAFT LEVELS BY 1200 UTC SATURDAY...BUT SEAS...DRIVEN BY THE STRONG
SOUTHERLY FETCH...MAY TAKE INTO SATURDAY TO SORT ITSELF OUT.
THE SURFACE HIGH MOVES OFFSHORE SATURDAY NIGHT...AND A WARM FRONT
WILL APPROACH THE WATERS FROM THE SOUTH. RIGHT NOW...WIND AND SEAS
LOOK AS THOUGH THEY SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT LEVELS.
THE NEXT SIGNIFICANT SYSTEM TO AFFECT THE WATERS WILL ARRIVE MONDAY
INTO MONDAY NIGHT. SURFACE LOW PRESSURE TRACKING WELL TO THE
NORTHWEST OF THE AREA WILL PRODUCE A STRONG SOUTHERLY GRADIENT
MONDAY...WHICH SHOULD RESULT IN GALE FORCE GUSTS MONDAY INTO MONDAY
EVENING. THE DEPTH OF THE MIXED LAYER STARTS FAIRLY LOW IN THE WARM
AIR ADVECTION...AND THIS COULD DELAY THE ONSET OF THE GALE FORCE
WINDS.
COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND THE SURFACE LOW AND IT ATTENDANT
COLD FRONT COULD RESULT IN GALE FORCE WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS FOR AT
LEAST PART OF TUESDAY.
&&
.TIDES...
NOE THAT WINDS HAVE SHIFTED TO THE NORTHWEST AND THE WATERS HAVE
STARTED TO DRAIN IN CHESAPEAKE BAY, NO ADDITIONAL MINOR TIDAL
FLOODING IS EXPECTED.
THE NEXT ISSUE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR BLOWOUT TIDES LATE THIS EVENING.
THE STRONG WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS MAY NOT BE AROUND LONG ENOUGH TO
OVERCOME THE POSITIVE TIDAL DEPARTURES FROM THIS AFTERNOON. THE MDL
STORM SURGE GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT NO LOCATIONS ACTUALLY GET TO
BLOWOUT TIDES...BUT CAPE MAY AND LEWES COULD GET CLOSE. THE POSITIVE
TIDE DEPARTURES THIS AFTERNOON SHOULD PRECLUDE BLOWOUT CONDITIONS ON
THE UPPER DELAWARE BAY AND DELAWARE RIVER.
&&
