The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.
A rapidly intensifying low pressure system caused strong west to northwest winds to occur across Delaware from the afternoon through the evening of the 27th. Peak wind gusts averaged 40 to 50 mph, resulting in downed tree limbs and isolated power outages.
Peak wind gusts included 53 mph in Wilmington (New Castle County), 48 mph in Bear (New Castle County), 47 mph in Primehook Beach (Sussex County), 45 mph in Lewes (Sussex County), 41 mph in Dover (Kent County) and Delaware City (New Castle County) and 40 mph in Milford (Sussex County).
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 Jan 27, 12:14 PM EST, 1 hour 46 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ 1214 PM EST FRI JAN 27 2012 .SYNOPSIS... AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE TO OUR WEST WILL MOVE NORTHEASTWARD DURING THE DAY, DRAGGING A COLD FRONT ACROSS OUR AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BEHIND THE FRONT. ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED LATER SATURDAY, FOLLOWED BY A STRONGER FRONT SUNDAY NIGHT. A LARGE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BUILD ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY AND TUESDAY BEFORE SLIDING OFF THE EAST COAST. ANOTHER FRONT MAY IMPACT THE REGION BY ABOUT WEDNESDAY WITH LOW PRESSURE AROUND THURSDAY. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... THE WARM FRONT CONTINUES TO PUSH NORTHWARD THROUGH THE AREA, BUT IS STILL HAVING A HARD TIME CLEARING THE ENTIRE AREA. IT MAY LINGER AROUND THE NORTHERN TIER OF THE CWA, BEFORE OCCLUDING AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. A COUPLE OF LINES OF CONVECTION ARE MOVING THROUGH THE AREA, ALTHOUGH NOT MUCH IN THE WAY OF LIGHTNING IS OCCURRING. THERE MAY BE A COUPLE OF STRIKES, BUT WIDESPREAD THUNDER IS NOT EXPECTED. NEVERTHELESS, WE WILL KEEP A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THE GRIDS FOR THE SOUTHERN HALF OF NEW JERSEY AND THE DELMARVA. IN THESE CONVECTIVE LINES, WE COULD HAVE A BRIEF PERIOD OF HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS. OUTSIDE OF ANY CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS, THERE ARE SOME SIGNS OF STRONG WINDS DEVELOPING AT THE SURFACE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. THE MID LEVEL TROUGH DEVELOPS A NEGATIVE TILT AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON; SIX-HOUR PRESSURE RISES OF 10 MB OR GREATER ARE PROGGED BY THE NAM, GFS AND ECMWF, AND ALTHOUGH WE DON'T MIX UP TO H8, H925 WINDS ARE PROGGED TO STILL BE UP AT AROUND 40 KNOTS. WORKING AGAINST STRONG WINDS ARE THE WEAKENING STATE OF THE H5 TROUGH AND THE LACK OF ANY REALLY COLD AIR BEHIND THE SURFACE FRONT. WE HAVE FORECAST WIND GUSTS UP TO AROUND 40 MPH AND MENTIONED GUSTY WINDS IN THE HWO. WE DON'T EXPECT RAINFALL AMOUNTS TODAY TO EXCEED 0.75 INCH EXCEPT IN SCATTERED AREAS SOUTHEAST (MAINLY DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF CONVECTION). WE CONTINUE THE MENTION OF SPOTTY LOCALIZED FLOODING IN THE HWO. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM SATURDAY/... THE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH AND SKIES TO CLEAR DURING THE SHORT TERM, ALTHOUGH HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS THEN WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE IN ADVANCE OF ANOTHER SHORT WAVE. GUIDANCE/CONTINUITY WAS ACCEPTED ON TEMPERATURES. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... THERE IS VERY GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT AND NOT MUCH WEATHER FOR THE EARLY AND MID PORTION OF THE EXTENDED FCST. THEN THERE IS VERY POOR MODEL AGREEMENT WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME WEATHER (DEPENDING ON WHICH SOLUTION YOU BELIEVE) AT THE END OF THE PERIOD. SATURDAY STARTS OUT DRY WITH THE AREA UNDER WEAK HIGH PRESSURE. TEMPS WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL ONCE AGAIN WITH MANY AREAS NEAR OR ABOVE 50 DEGREES ON DECENT SWLY FLOW AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING LOW/TROF. THIS LOW/TROF WILL MOVE BY TO OUR N AND W ON SATURDAY NIGHT AND COULD BRING SOME PRECIP TO THE FAR NW, BUT BOTH POPS AND AREAL COVERAGE ARE LOW. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FOR SUNDAY, AND SUNDAY WILL BE DRY AND COOLER, BUT WITH ABOVE NRML TEMPS STILL AS A MUCH STRONGER LOW/TROF AND S/WV AND CDFNT APPROACH FROM THE W. WHILE THE MAIN IS FCST TO STAY TO THE N, THE TROF IS DEEPER AND THE PRECIP SHIELD IS A BIT MORE ROBUST, SO WE CAN'T RULE OUT SOME PRECIP SUNDAY NIGHT. AGAIN, TEMPS LOOK TO BE WARM ENOUGH S AND EAST FOR RAIN BUT FOR WINTRY PRECIP N AND W. QPF IS NOT ALL THAT HIGH WITH NO MDL PUTTING OUT MORE THAN A FEW HUNDREDTHS OF LIQUID EQUIVALENT. THE PRECIP SHOULD OCCUR DURG THE FIRST HALF OF THE NIGHT, WHICH IF THE TIMING IS CORRECT WOULD PRECLUDE WINTER WX FURTHER S AND E WHEN TEMPS WOULD BE COLDER. STRONG HIGH PRESSURE MOVES IN FROM THE SW BEHIND THIS FRONT AND MONDAY LOOKS TO BE THE COLDEST DAY OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD WITH BLUSTERY NW WINDS. THE HIGH REMAINS IN PLACE TUESDAY, KEEPING THINGS DRY, WITH A NICE WARMING TREND. BY TUESDAY NIGHT, THE GFS HAS A LOW OVER THE UPR MS VLY WHILE THE ECMWF HAS ONE NR THE GRTLKS. HOWEVER, BY WED, BOTH MDLS HAVE THE LOW IN SRN ONTARIO, WITH THE ATTENDANT CDFNT EXTENDING SWD. THE LATEST GUIDANCE HAS SLOWED DOWN AND DRIED OUT THIS CDFNT SO I HAVE REDUCED POPS ON WED, ESPECIALLY THE ERLY PORTION OF THE DAY. THIS IS WHERE MDL AGREEMENT COMES TO AN END. BY WED NIGHT, THE GFS HAS A MUCH DEEPER TROF OVER THE MIDSECTION OF THE COUNTRY AND IT DEVELOPS A LOW OVER THE SERN CONUS ON THU WHICH IT THEN MOVES NEWD THU NIGHT. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE ECMWF HAS A MUCH SHALLOWER TROF AND IT DEVELOPS A LOW NR LK MICHIGAN AND MOVES IT EWD ON THU. EITHER WAY, THU COULD BE WET, BUT AT DAY 7, A LOT CAN STILL CHANGE. TEMPS LOOK TO BE 5-10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL THRU THE PERIOD, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MONDAY WHICH COULD END UP NR OR EVEN SLIGHTLY BELOW NRML. && .AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS. IMPROVING CONDITIONS WILL BE FORECAST WITH THE 18Z TAFS. THE RAIN HAS JUST ABOUT EXITED THE LAND AREAS AND ANY RESIDUAL SHOWERS ARE NOT FORECAST TO REACH US FROM THE WEST. CIGS THE FIRST COUPLE OF HOURS ARE LOW CONFIDENCE AS INITIALLY THE TEMPERATURE DEW POINT SPREAD IS SMALL AND WOULD EXPECT THE LIFTING FROM THE DEPARTING FRONT TO POSSIBLY RE-DEVELOP A MVFR CIG FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS. AS DRIER AIR MOVES INTO THE AREA, CIGS SHOULD RISE TO LOW VFR LEVEL LATER THIS AFTERNOON. WE ARE FORECASTING THE CIGS TO RAPIDLY DISAPPEAR AT ALL TERMINALS EARLY THIS EVENING. WINDS ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE FROM THE WEST TO NORTHWEST THIS AFTERNOON WITH PEAK GUSTS REACHING AROUND 35KTS LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THIS IS A QUICK MOVING WEATHER PATTERN AND WE ARE FORECASTING WINDS TO DECREASE RAPIDLY DURING THIS EVENING. LATER THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO DECREASE AND WE WILL START SEEING SOME HIGH BASED ALTOCU OR LOW BASED CIRRUS IN ADVANCE OF THE NEXT COLD FRONT. THE EVENING WIND GROUP MAY BE A BIT TOO LIGHT AT THE START OF THE FORECAST PERIOD AND TOO STRONG AT THE END OF THAT FORECAST PERIOD. VFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST FOR SATURDAY THRU 18Z (00Z AT KPHL) AS ANY CLOUDS SHOULD EITHER BE MID OR HIGH LEVEL. LIGHTER WINDS AROUND SUNRISE SHOULD BACK A BIT MORE TO THE SOUTHWEST AND INCREASE TO NEAR 10 KTS. .OUTLOOK... A CDFNT IS EXPECTED TO CROSS THE AREA LATER SATURDAY AND WHILE IT SHOULD BE DRY, THERE COULD BE SOME MVFR CIGS, ESPECIALLY N AND W. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS BEHIND THE FRONT. THEN A STRONGER FRONT WILL MOVE ACRS THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT AND THERE COULD BE ADDITIONAL MVFR CONDS AND A BETTER CHC OF WINDS IN THE 20-25 KT RANGE. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN RETURN FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH VFR. && .MARINE... CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN SLOW TO DETERIORATE EARLY THIS MORNING, BUT WE CAN'T IGNORE WHAT GUIDANCE IS TELLING US AND SO WE HAVE ISSUED A GALE WARNING FROM EARLY THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THIS EVENING. THE WINDOW MAY BE A BIT WIDE, ALTHOUGH GIVEN THE FORECAST STRENGTH OF THE H925 JET IT ALSO IS POSSIBLE THAT SOME GALE FORCE GUSTS WILL DEVELOP IN ADVANCE OF THE COLD FRONT (THAT FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PASS OVER THE WATERS IN ABOUT THE 19Z TO 20Z TIME FRAME). THE MODELS SUGGEST THAT GALES ARE MOST LIKELY NORTH, BUT INDICATIONS WERE TOO STRONG TO PASS ON A WARNING SOUTH. THE FAR SOUTHERN WATERS ALSO HAVE BEEN PLACED UNDER A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS BY THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER, AND THAT ALSO WAS MENTIONED IN THE HWO. WINDS AND SEAS ARE FORECAST TO DIMINISH TONIGHT. .OUTLOOK... HIGH PRESSURE WILL START OFF SATURDAY WITH SUB-ADVISORY CONDS BUT A WEAK CDFNT WILL CROSS THE REGION AND THERE COULD BE AN INCREASE IN WINDS AND SEAS, ESPECIALLY ACRS THE N TO SCA CRITERIA. ANOTHER STRONGER CDFNT WILL CROSS THE WATERS SUNDAY NIGHT LEADING TO ANOTHER INCREASE IN SEAS AND WINDS INTO EARLY MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS BACK IN FOR MONDAY INTO TUESDAY WHICH SHOULD YIELD SUB-ADVISORY CONDS ONCE AGAIN. && .HYDROLOGY... EARLY THIS MORNING, NOBODY IN THE FORECAST AREA HAD MORE THAN ABOUT TWO-THIRDS OF AN INCH OF RAINFALL (THAT NORTHWEST). ALL THE GUIDANCE AND THE POSSIBILITY OF CONVECTION WOULD SUGGEST THE MOST ROBUST RAINFALL TODAY WOULD BE SOUTHEAST, WHERE NOTHING HAD FALLEN. HEADWATER AND FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE WOULD THEREFORE STILL SEEM OUT OF RANGE. && .PHI WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...NONE. NJ...GALE WARNING UNTIL 1 AM EST SATURDAY FOR NJZ025-026. DE...NONE.
