NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 27, 11:07 AM EST, 58 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ 1207 PM EDT MON AUG 27 2012 .SYNOPSIS... HIGH PRESSURE WILL WEAKEN AS IT MOVES OFFSHORE TODAY. A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED MONDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO BUILD ACROSS THE AREA FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY, BEFORE SINKING SOUTH OF THE AREA BY FRIDAY. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY MAY CROSS THE AREA EARLY IN THE WEEKEND AND INTERACT WITH THE REMNANTS OF ISAAC LATE IN THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... THE MAIN BAND OF SHRA AND TSRA HAS PROPAGATED EWD INTO ERN NJ... WHILE OTHER CONVTN HAS DVLPD SWD ACROSS DEL BAY INTO CNTRL/SRN DE. SFC ANALYSIS CONTS TO SHOW MDT INSTBY OVER SRN NJ AND DELMARVA WITH LITTLE OR NO CAP/CIN. EXPECT SCT SHRA TO CONT TO DEVELOP OVER THIS AREA THRU EARLY AFTN. SOME MODEL GUIDANCE IS SUGG A DCRS IN ACTVTY LATER THIS AFTN BUT THE REASON FOR THIS IS NOT CLEAR AND WOULD RUN AGAINST THE NORMAL DIURNAL TREND. TEMPERATURES WERE A BLEND OF THE MET/MAV MOS WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW-80S...DEPENDING ON HOW FAST THE STRATUS SCOURS. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/... ANTICIPATING MID-LEVEL LONGWAVE TROUGH TO BE JUST TO OUR WEST BY TONIGHT AND WITH IT A FEW AREAS OF ENHANCED VORTICITY MAXIMUMS HELPING TO PUSH A COLD FRONT THROUGH. THE HIGHEST CHANCES FOR CONVECTION TONIGHT LIE ACROSS OUR NORTHERN ZONES WITHIN THE FRONTAL CONVERGENCE ZONE. AS THE FRONT SAGS TOWARDS THE SOUTHEAST TONIGHT THE MID-LEVEL FLOW GOES QUASI-ZONAL AS THE BASE OF THE TROUGH FLATTENS OUT. THIS WILL KEEP THE SOUTHWARD PROGRESSION OF THE BOUNDARY TO A MINIMUM...AT LEAST FOR THE TIME BEING. PWATS WILL REMAIN QUITE HIGH, OVER 1.75 INCHES, SO ANY THUNDERSTORMS WILL HAVE PLENTY OF MOISTURE TO TAP INTO TO. THERE LOOKS TO BE DECENT SHEAR IN PLACE, UPWARDS OF 30 KNOTS WITHIN THE BOUNDARY LAYER SO ORGANIZATION OR CLUSTERING OF STORMS IS A DEFINITE POSSIBLY. LIMITING FACTOR WOULD BE ANY SURFACE BASED CAPE BUT ONLY NEED A FEW HUNDRED JOULES TO SEE STRONGER CONVECTION. ENHANCED WORDING WAS NOT ADDED TO THE GRIDS BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR THE HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG WINDS ARE GOOD POSSIBILITIES...AGAIN MAINLY ACROSS THE NORTH. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA EARLY DURING THE DAY TUESDAY. THE GREATEST PROBABILITY FOR SHOWERS TO LINGER THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF THE DAY IS IN THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA WHICH IS WHERE THE STRONGEST FORCING WITH THE SHORTWAVE/VORT MAX IS FORECAST. HOWEVER, WE WILL STILL KEEP A CHANCE/SLIGHT CHANCE EVERYWHERE, MAINLY EARLY TUESDAY UNTIL THE FRONT CROSSES THE ENTIRE AREA LATER IN THE DAY. PWATS DROP PRETTY QUICKLY BEHIND THE FRONT, SO PRECIPITATION SHOULD END QUICKLY BY AFTERNOON, AND LEAD TO A DRY FORECAST FOR TUESDAY NIGHT. ON WEDNESDAY, HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO BUILD ACROSS THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST AND CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY. THIS SHOULD PROVIDE DRY WEATHER, AND WITH THE MID-LEVEL TROUGH SWINGING THROUGH, THICKNESSES WILL DROP WEDNESDAY, ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO COOL SLIGHTLY WEDNESDAY TO NEAR NORMAL. HOWEVER, THIS WILL ONLY BE TEMPORARY AS THE THICKNESSES ARE EXPECTED TO RISE AGAIN THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY AS THE HIGH BUILDS FURTHER SOUTH AND A RETURN FLOW DEVELOPS. TEMPERATURES SHOULD RETURN SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL, POSSIBLY REACHING CLOSE TO 90 BY FRIDAY. QUESTIONS THEN ARISE IN REGARDS TO THE FORECAST FOR THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE MAIN CONCERN IS WHAT HAPPENS TO THE REMNANTS OF ISAAC AFTER LANDFALL. THE GFS KEEPS A WESTERN LANDFALL, WHILE THE ECMWF IS A BIT FURTHER EAST. THE LATEST NHC FORECAST HAS IT MAKING LANDFALL IN SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA, THEN TRACKING NORTH INTO THE MID- MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLY. THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE COME TO SOMEWHAT OF AN AGREEMENT AS THE REMNANTS MOVE INTO THE MID- MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WITH THE 00Z RUNS. BOTH HAVE THE SYSTEM GETTING CAUGHT UP IN A FRONTAL BOUNDARY SAGGING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND TOWARD OUR AREA OVER THE WEEKEND, AND EVENTUALLY BRINGING IT TOWARD OUR AREA SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. WE MAY GET SOME MOISTURE AS EARLY AS SATURDAY/SATURDAY NIGHT, BUT AS OF NOW, SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY LOOKS LIKE THE BEST PERIOD FOR RAIN WITH THE REMNANTS. THIS COULD ALL CHANGE DEPENDING ON ACTUAL TRACK, BUT FOR NOW, WE WILL CARRY SLIGHT CHANCE EARLY IN THE WEEKEND, BEFORE INCREASING TO CHANCE LATE IN THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK DUE TO A FAIR DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY. FOR THE LATEST OFFICIAL TRACK AND ADVISORIES, PLEASE REFER TO THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER. && .AVIATION /16Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... HE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS. A BAND OF SHRA AND ISOLD T-STMS IS AFFECTING TAF SITES ALONG THE ILG-PHL-PNE-TTN AXIS. THESE ARE PRODUCING BRIEF HEAVY DOWNPOURS WITH LOWERED CIGS AND VSBYS. THE BAND IS GRADUALLY WORKING ITS WAY NEWD SO OVERALL CONDS ARE EXPECTED TO IMPROVE FROM SW TO NE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE MORNING. CIGS AND VSBYS SHOULD SCATTER OUT BY LATE THIS MORNING AS WINDS VEER MORE TOWARDS THE SOUTH AND INCREASE. THERE IS A CHANCE THAT AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT OUT TERMINALS AS THE SYSTEM THAT PRODUCED ALL THE RAINFALL ACROSS THE DELMARVA REGION PULLS THROUGH TO THE NORTHEAST. THE TIMING OF THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN LOW CONFIDENCE BUT FOR NOW HAVE PLACED THEM AROUND THE 18 AND 19Z TIMEFRAME...WEST TO EAST RESPECTIVELY. THE FIRST ROUND OF SHOWERS SHOULD END AS THE SUNSETS THIS EVENING AND THEN WE ARE EXPECTING THE ARRIVAL OF A COLD FRONT BY EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. THIS COULD TOUCH OFF ROUND 2 OF SHOWERY ACTIVITY THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS TONIGHT. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY DECREASE THIS EVENING AND VEER EVEN MORE TOWARDS THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST. COULD SEE MVFR CIGS AND SOME VSBYS LATE TONIGHT AT TERMINALS THAT RECEIVE RAIN. OUTLOOK... TUESDAY...MOSTLY VFR, MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE WITH SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH COLD FRONT EARLY TUESDAY. TUESDAY NIGHT-WEDNESDAY...MAINLY VFR. POSSIBLE MVFR/IFR FOG TUESDAY NIGHT/WEDNESDAY MORNING WHERE RAIN OCCURS DURING THE DAY. WEDNESDAY NIGHT-FRIDAY...VFR. && .MARINE... SUB-ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS OUR WATERS TODAY AND TONIGHT, ALTHOUGH SEAS WILL STILL BE RUNNING RATHER HIGH AROUND 4 FEET. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS MORNING AND THEN AGAIN LATER TONIGHT AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST. WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST TODAY WITH A GRADUAL TURN TOWARDS THE SOUTH BY TONIGHT AND THEN WEST-SOUTHWEST TUESDAY MORNING. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN TONIGHT AS THE FRONT APPROACHES SO WINDS COULD CLIMB UPWARDS OF 15 KNOTS ALONG THE OCEAN FRONT, LESS IN THE BAY. SEAS MAY TRY TO CLIMB BACK UP TO 5 FEET UNDER THE STIFFER WINDS BUT SHOULD REMAIN FURTHER OFFSHORE. OUTLOOK... AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA TUESDAY, WINDS AND SEAS MAY APPROACH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS. HOWEVER, FOR NOW, WE KEEP CONDITIONS BELOW. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK, CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE AREA FROM WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. WINDS MAY PERIODICALLY GUST AROUND 20 KNOTS WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY, BUT REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS. && .HYDROLOGY... WE ARE WATCHING CONVTN DEVELOP OVER SOME AREAS IN SRN DE AND SRN NJ THAT RECEIVED HEAVY RAIN OVER THE WEEKEND. THE CURRENT 1-HR FFG IS BETWEEN 1 AND 2 INCHES OVER THESE AREAS. FOR NOW WE HAVE ISSUED A FLOOD ADVISORY FOR ERN SUSSEX CO IN DE...BUT CONTD HEAVY RAIN COULD REQUIRE A FLOOD OR FF WARNING. && .RIP CURRENTS... THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS TODAY AS SEAS REMAIN ELEVATED UNDER A 8 TO 9 SECOND PERIOD. && .PHI WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...NONE. NJ...NONE. DE...NONE. MD...NONE.
