The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.
The northwest flow behind the departing strong low pressure system produced strong winds across southeast New Jersey from the middle of the morning into the early evening on the 27th. Peak wind gusts averaged around 50 mph and knocked down additional weakened trees, tree limbs and wires. Peak wind gusts included 52 mph in Cape May (Cape May County), 47 mph in Tuckerton and Brick (Ocean County) and 45 mph at the Atlantic City International Airport.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
650 AM EST THU DEC 27 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CLOSE TO OUR COAST THIS MORNING
WILL TRACK NEAR THE NEW ENGLAND COAST TODAY, THEN MOVE ACROSS THE
CANADIAN MARITIMES TONIGHT AND FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRIEFLY
BUILD IN FOR FRIDAY, BEFORE SLIDING TO THE EAST. LOW PRESSURE WILL
TRACK ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC ON SATURDAY, THEN INTENSIFY AS IT
MOVES INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES THROUGH SUNDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
SLIDES MAINLY TO OUR SOUTH SUNDAY INTO MONDAY, WITH THE NEXT COLD
FRONT SWEEPING ACROSS OUR REGION MONDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE IN
THE CENTRAL PLAINS THEN BUILDS TOWARD OUR AREA TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AT 630 AM, THE MID LEVEL LOW WAS LOCATED OFF OUR COAST. THE
FEATURE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE TO THE NORTHEAST, PASSING NEAR CAPE
COD EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. AT THE SURFACE, LOW PRESSURE WAS
CENTERED ABOUT 50 MILES OFF ASBURY PARK, NEW JERSEY. THE SURFACE
LOW WILL ALSO MOVE TO THE NORTHEAST.
PATCHES OF LIGHT PRECIPITATION WERE CONTINUING TO LIFT NORTHWARD
THROUGH OUR REGION EARLY THIS MORNING.
WITH SOME DRYING ALOFT, SNOW GROWTH CONDITIONS WERE NOT FAVORABLE
EARLY THIS MORNING OVER OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES. AS A RESULT, THE
PRECIPITATION TYPE IS EXPECTED TO BE RAIN EVEN UP THERE. WITH
SURFACE TEMPERATURES REMAINING AT OR BELOW FREEZING IN SPOTS UP
NORTH, WE HAVE LEFT THE WINTER STORM WARNING IN PLACE FOR THE
POCONOS AND FOR SUSSEX COUNTY, NEW JERSEY. WE HAVE EXTENDED THE
ADVISORY FOR BERKS COUNTY, THE LEHIGH VALLEY, WARREN COUNTY AND
MORRIS COUNTY UNTIL 1000 AM TO COVER AREAS OF FREEZING RAIN WITH
SURFACE TEMPERATURES POSSIBLY DROPPING A COUPLE OF DEGREES IN
SPOTS THROUGH MID MORNING.
THE PROBABILITY OF PRECIPITATION WILL DECREASE GRADUALLY FROM
SOUTH TO NORTH THROUGH THE DAY. WITH SOME COLD AIR BEING DRAWN
DOWN FROM THE NORTH AND NORTHWEST, THE PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED
TO GO BACK OVER TO SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS IN THE NORTH FOR LATE
THIS MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON. LITTLE ACCUMULATION IS
ANTICIPATED.
WE WERE ON THE FENCE IN REGARD TO ISSUING ANOTHER WIND ADVISORY
FOR THIS AFTERNOON. WIND SPEEDS AROUND 925 HPA ARE FORECAST TO
INCREASE TO OR A BIT ABOVE 45 MPH FOR THIS AFTERNOON, ESPECIALLY
OVER OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES. HOWEVER, WITH A BIT OF A TEMPERATURE
INVERSION AND A FAIR AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER EXPECTED, ATMOSPHERIC
MIXING SHOULD NOT BE AT PEAK EFFICIENCY. AS A RESULT, WE SHOULD
NOT SEE WIND GUSTS REACHING THE LOW END OF THE ADVISORY CRITERIA
WHICH IS 46 MPH.
TODAY'S TEMPERATURE FORECAST IS A BIT TRICKY. WITH COLD AIR
EVENTUALLY BEING DRAWN DOWN FROM THE NORTH AND NORTHWEST, READINGS
MAY REMAIN STEADY OR RISE A BIT BEFORE FALLING A LITTLE DURING THE
DAYLIGHT HOURS. ALL IN ALL, READINGS SHOULD FAVOR THE 30S. SOME
LOCATIONS IN THE SOUTH MAY STAY IN THE 40S FOR A BIT, WHILE THE
ELEVATED TERRAIN UP NORTH MAY DROP INTO THE 20S.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/...
THE MID LEVEL LOW IS FORECAST TO MOVE FROM THE WATERS EAST OF NEW
ENGLAND TOWARD CANADA'S MARITIME PROVINCES TONIGHT. THE SURFACE
LOW SHOULD CLOSELY FOLLOW THE MID LEVEL FEATURE.
AS THE LOW MOVES FARTHER AWAY FROM OUR REGION, THE WIND SHOULD
DIMINISH GRADUALLY. DRY AIR WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD INTO EASTERN
PENNSYLVANIA, NEW JERSEY, DELAWARE AND NORTHEASTERN MARYLAND.
TEMPERATURES TONIGHT SHOULD DROP MAINLY INTO THE 20S, WITH SOME
TEENS UP NORTH.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THIS TIME FRAME FEATURES AN INCREASING CHC FOR A WIDESPREAD
SNOWFALL OVER THE WEEKEND THEN COLDER TEMPERATURES TO FOLLOW. THE
PATTERN GENERALLY IS COMPRISED OF SHORT WAVE RIDGING FRIDAY THAT
QUICKLY SHIFTS TO OUR EAST WITH A SOUTHWESTERLY UPPER-LEVEL FLOW
OCCURRING. AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH ACROSS THE PLAINS WILL SWEEP
EASTWARD WITH DECENT AMPLIFICATION TAKING PLACE. THE MODEL
GUIDANCE HAS BEEN SHOWING VARIABILITY WITH THE NORTHERN AND
SOUTHERN STREAM SHORT WAVES, HOWEVER A BUILDING CONSENSUS IS
POINTING TO ENOUGH INTERACTION TO PULL GULF MOISTURE NORTHWARD AND
ORGANIZE A DECENT SURFACE LOW. LARGE SCALE ASCENT ARRIVING ALONG
WITH HEIGHT FALLS WILL ALLOW FOR A SURFACE LOW TO TRACK ACROSS THE
MID ATLANTIC. SINCE THE TROUGH IS FARTHER SOUTH WITH THE
AMPLIFICATION/BASE, THE SURFACE LOW IS EXPECTED TO TRACK FARTHER
SOUTH AND EAST COMPARED TO ITS PREDECESSOR. THIS WOULD RESULT IN
AN OVERALL COLDER THERMAL PROFILE ACROSS A GOOD PART OF THE CWA.
THIS LOOKS LIKE AN INTERESTING SYSTEM AS IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO
BRING A WIDESPREAD ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL TO MOST OF THE AREA.
THE PATTERN PERHAPS THEN RELAXES FOR A BIT THEREAFTER AS A COLD
FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH LATE MONDAY KEEPING A COLDER REGIME IN PLACE.
THIS FRONT HOWEVER MAY STALL WELL TO OUR SOUTH, AND ENERGY IN THE
PLAINS TUESDAY COULD OPEN THE DOOR FOR OVERRUNNING TO TRY AND WORK
NORTHWARD. THIS COULD RESULT IN A BATTLE BETWEEN THIS FEATURE AND
HIGH PRESSURE STRETCHED EAST TO WEST FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS TO
OHIO VALLEY. WE GENERALLY TOOK A MODEL BLEND FRIDAY THROUGH
SUNDAY, THEN BLENDED A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE NEW HPC GUIDANCE
INTO SOME FIELDS FROM SUNDAY NIGHT AND BEYOND.
FOR FRIDAY, A BRIEF RESPITE AS THE MID LEVEL FLOW GENERALLY BACKS
TO THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST AND ALLOWS A WEAK RIDGE TO SLIDE ACROSS
OUR AREA. THIS WILL TAKE HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE OHIO VALLEY TO
OVER OUR AREA BY DAYS END. A BAROCLINIC ZONE ALOFT LOOKS TO BECOME
ESTABLISHED OVER OUR AREA AS THE FLOW TURNS WESTERLY AT 850 MB
WITH SOME WAA DEVELOPING UP THE OHIO VALLEY. GIVEN THE BACKED
FLOW, WE WILL PROBABLY HAVE AT LEAST SOME HIGH CLOUDS WORKING INTO
THE REGION DURING THE DAY. THE CLOUDS SHOULD THEN INCREASE AND
LOWER AT NIGHT AS OUR NEXT STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM THE WEST.
THE AIR MASS OVER OUR AREA MAY BE JUST DRY ENOUGH, THEREFORE ANY
LIGHT PRECIPITATION TRYING TO ARRIVE TOWARD SATURDAY MORNING IN
THE WESTERN ZONES MAY END UP BEING VIRGA TO START. LOW
TEMPERATURES WERE RAISED A LITTLE AS CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED TO
INCREASE AND THICKEN.
FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, THE NEXT SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO ARRIVE
FROM THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST. THIS STORM IS ENERGY FROM THE
NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN STREAMS, AND THE MODEL GUIDANCE HAS BEEN
SHOWING VARIABILITY REGARDING THE TIMING OF AMPLIFICATION AND ALSO
WHAT SHORT WAVE IS MORE DOMINANT. IT APPEARS THAT A BUILDING
CONSENSUS IS THAT THE ENERGY WITHIN THE TROUGH IS CONSOLIDATED
ENOUGH TO ALLOW FOR A BROAD AREA OF PRECIPITATION TO EXPAND AS IT
TRACKS NORTHEASTWARD. THIS WILL BE AIDED BY LARGE SCALE ASCENT
INCREASING DURING SATURDAY WITH INCOMING HEIGHT FALLS AND LOW-
LEVEL WAA. THE SHORT WAVE ENERGY IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE HEIGHT
FALLS WILL INDUCE A SURFACE LOW THAT TRACKS ACROSS THE MID
ATLANTIC THEN OUT TO SEA. THE SOUTHERLY POSITIONING OF THE UPPER-
LEVEL TROUGH WILL RESULT IN THE SURFACE LOW TRACKING FARTHER SOUTH
AND EAST COMPARED TO ITS PREDECESSOR. THIS HAS THE LOOK OF A
WIDESPREAD SNOWFALL ACROSS THE AREA, ALTHOUGH FORECAST SOUNDINGS
INDICATE ENOUGH WARMING EITHER IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER OR ALOFT FOR
A TIME TO RESULT IN SOME RAIN AND OR RAIN/SNOW MIX ACROSS PORTIONS
OF SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY AND THE DELMARVA. EVEN HERE, COOLING SHOULD
TAKE PLACE AS THE SYSTEM WORKS OFF THE COAST ALLOWING FOR A
CHANGEOVER TO SOME SNOW BEFORE ENDING.
AS THE SYSTEM SLIDES TO OUR SOUTH AND EAST, THE LOW-LEVEL WAA
AHEAD OF IT HELPS TO TIGHTEN UP THE THERMAL GRADIENT SOME
PARTICULARLY AT 850 MB AND 700 MB. AN EXAMINATION OF THE
FRONTOGENETIC FORCING IN THESE LAYERS SUGGESTS A RESPONSE ENOUGH
TO POINT TOWARD A PERIOD OF STRONGER LIFT. AS OF NOW, THIS IS
GENERALLY FOCUSED ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND CENTRAL
INTO SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY. THE MODEL CROSS SECTIONS SNOW THE SNOW
GROWTH REGION LINING UP WITH BETTER LIFT AND DEEPER MOISTURE FOR A
TIME SATURDAY, WHICH WOULD HELP IN SNOWFALL PRODUCTION. IT IS NOT
IDEAL, HOWEVER THIS IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND THEREFORE
WE ARE LEANING MORE TOWARD POTENTIALLY A PLOWABLE EVENT /AT LEAST
TO ADVISORY LEVEL FOR NOW/ FOR A GOOD PART OF THE AREA. IF THE 00Z
ECMWF VERIFIES, WHICH SHOWS NEARLY A CLASSIC TRACK FOR US, THEN
WARNINGS WOULD BE NEEDED FOR AT LEAST A PORTION OF OUR CWA. THE
ECMWF TRACK WOULD SUGGEST AN INCREASING THREAT FOR STRONGLY
INDUCED FRONTOGENETIC MESOSCALE BANDING. THE 00Z GFS ENSEMBLE
SURFACE PRESSURES SHOWS A DECENT CLUSTERING OF THE LOW, ALTHOUGH
NOT AS ROBUST WITH THE INTENSITY LIKE THE ECMWF. FOR NOW, WE
DERIVED OUR PRECIPITATION TYPES FROM THICKNESSES WITH SOME TWEAKS.
OUR FIRST TAKE AT THE SNOWFALL AMOUNTS BRINGS A SWATH OF 4 INCHES
ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND INTO THE NORTHERN ZONES WITH LESS NORTH AND
SOUTH OF HERE. PLENTY OF TIME FOR THINGS TO CHANGE, THEREFORE NO
HEADLINES ATTM HOWEVER WE WILL ADD A MENTION OF THIS STORM IN THE
HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.
THE SYSTEM LOOKS PROGRESSIVE ENOUGH WHERE ANY PRECIPITATION TENDS
TO TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST SATURDAY EVENING. THE STORM THEN
TRACKS FARTHER OFFSHORE WITH A TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT IN ITS
WAKE FOR SUNDAY. THE EXTENT OF THIS AND THE ACTUAL WIND SPEEDS
WILL DEPEND ON HOW QUICKLY THE STORM STRENGTHENS AS IT DEPARTS THE
MID ATLANTIC. THERE COULD ALSO BE SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS
TRYING TO MAKE A RUN AT OUR NORTHWEST ZONES ON SUNDAY, OTHERWISE
SOME CLOUDS.
FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY, HIGH PRESSURE LOOKS TO BUILD IN MONDAY
ALTHOUGH A NORTHWEST FLOW MAY RESULT IN SOME SNOW SHOWERS OR
FLURRIES FOR AWHILE ACROSS THE FAR NORTHWEST ZONES. A QUICK MOVING
COLD FRONT LOOKS TO SLIDE ACROSS OUR AREA LATE MONDAY, THEN THIS
BOUNDARY MAY STALL WELL TO OUR SOUTH AS SOME ADDITIONAL ENERGY
DEVELOPS ALONG IT. OVERALL, NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES WERE MADE TO
THIS TIME FRAME.
FOR WEDNESDAY, OUR REGION LOOKS TO BE IN A COLD REGIME WITH A
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW AS HIGH PRESSURE IS STRETCHED FROM NEAR THE MID
ATLANTIC TO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. A BAROCLINIC ZONES ESPECIALLY
ALOFT SHOULD BE DRAPED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN STATES AND A TROUGH IS
IN THE PLAINS. THIS MAY ALLOW FOR GULF MOISTURE TO TRY AND OVERRUN
THE COLDER AIR TO THE NORTH, HOWEVER AN AREA OF CONFLUENCE MAY
STEER THIS MOISTURE TO OUR SOUTH. FOR NOW, WE MADE JUST SOME
TWEAKS TO THIS TIME FRAME.
&&
.AVIATION /12Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.
A WEST TO NORTHWEST WIND IS EXPECTED FOR TODAY. WIND SPEEDS WERE
ALREADY INCREASING EARLY THIS MORNING. SUSTAINED SPEEDS FOR THIS
MORNING SHOULD BE IN THE TEENS WITH GUSTS INTO THE 20S. AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS FOR THE AFTERNOON, SPEEDS ARE FORECAST
TO INCREASE AROUND 20 KNOTS WITH GUSTS INTO THE 30S. AS THE STRONG
WIND BRINGS DRY AIR INTO OUR REGION, CEILING HEIGHTS ARE EXPECTED
TO LIFT GRADUALLY. CONDITIONS SHOULD BE MAINLY VFR FROM MIDDAY
ONWARD.
OUTLOOK...
FRIDAY...VFR. NORTHWEST WINDS 10-15 KNOTS. WINDS WILL DIMINISH
FURTHER IN THE EVENING. CLOUDS INCREASE AND LOWER SOME AT NIGHT.
SATURDAY...VFR EARLY, THEN SUB-VFR EXPECTED THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
AND EVENING. WHILE THERE IS STILL SOME LOWER CONFIDENCE IN THE
DETAILS WITH A STORM TRACKING TO OUR SOUTH AND EAST, IT DOES
APPEAR THAT THERE IS AN INCREASING CHANCE FOR A PERIOD OF
ACCUMULATING SNOW AT MOST OF OUR TERMINALS.
SUNDAY AND MONDAY...MAINLY VFR. A FEW FLURRIES OR SNOW SHOWERS
COULD BE NEAR KABE AND KRDG ON SUNDAY. NORTHWEST WINDS 15-20 KNOTS
WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 30 KNOTS SUNDAY, THEN BECOMING MORE WESTERLY
10-15 KNOTS MONDAY.
&&
.MARINE...
STRONG LOW PRESSURE LOCATED OFF THE NEW JERSEY COAST EARLY THIS
MORNING WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE TO THE NORTHEAST TODAY. AS IT DOES,
THE WIND WILL INCREASE FROM THE WEST NORTHWEST. AFTER A BIT OF A
LULL VERY EARLY THIS MORNING, GALE FORCE GUSTS SHOULD REDEVELOP
AFTER DAYBREAK AND CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT. AS A RESULT, THE GALE
WARNING HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL 400 AM FRIDAY.
OUTLOOK...
A WEAK AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES OVER OUR AREA FRIDAY BEFORE
QUICKLY SHIFTING EASTWARD. HOWEVER, ENOUGH MIXING AND ASSOCIATED
WIND MAY ALLOW FOR SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS FRIDAY BEFORE
SETTLING DOWN AT NIGHT. LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO ARRIVE IN THE
MID ATLANTIC SATURDAY BEFORE MOVING OUT TO SEA AND INTENSIFYING
SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. WHILE THE MODEL GUIDANCE SHOWS A BETTER
AGREEMENT WITH THE TRACK, THERE IS STILL LOWER CONFIDENCE ON THE
STRENGTH OF THE SYSTEM. THE MAIN INCREASE IN WINDS MAY NOT OCCUR
UNTIL AFTER THE STORM SHIFTS TO OUR NORTHEAST AND CAA KICKS IN
ALONG WITH A TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT. IF SOME OF THE MORE
ROBUST GUIDANCE IS CORRECT, LIKE THE 00Z ECMWF, THEN STRONGER
WINDS WILL BECOME A CONCERN SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. THIS WOULD
INCLUDE A PERIOD OF GALE FORCE GUSTS OVER THE WEEKEND. AS THE
SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES, BOTH THE WINDS AND SEAS
WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH. HOWEVER WITH A LINGERING PRESSURE
GRADIENT ALONG WITH A COLDER AIR MASS UNDER A NORTHWEST FLOW, SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS LOOKS TO OCCUR INTO MONDAY. OVERALL, WE
DID NOT MAKE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES ATTM.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
TIDE DEPARTURES ARE STILL RUNNING BETWEEN 3 AND 5 FEET ABOVE
PREDICTED ACROSS MONMOUTH AND OCEAN COUNTIES EARLY THIS MORNING
(WITH THE HIGHEST DEPARTURE AT SANDY HOOK). THE NEXT HIGH TIDE
CYCLE FOR THIS AREA STARTS BETWEEN 600 AND 700 AM...WITH A
DEPARTURE OF BETWEEN 2.5 AND 3 FEET FOR MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING.
CONSIDERING HOW SLOWLY THE DEPARTURES HAVE COME DOWN THUS FAR IN
MONMOUTH COUNTY...THE COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN PLACE. EVEN
THOUGH THE DEPARTURES WILL COME DOWN NOW THAT WE ARE OUT OF THE
LOW TIDE CYCLE...THE MODERATE TIDAL FLOODING BENCHMARK SHOULD
REMAIN WITHIN REACH.
FURTHER SOUTH...DEPARTURES WERE IN THE 2 TO 3 FOOT RANGE ACROSS
SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY AND THE OCEAN FRONT OF DELAWARE AND THE LOWER
DELAWARE BAY. THE HIGH TIDE CYCLE BEGINS BETWEEN 600 AM AND 730 AM
IN THIS AREA...AND THE TIDAL DEPARTURES SHOULD ALLOW THE MINOR
TIDAL FLOODING BENCHMARK TO BE REACH. IT WILL BE CLOSE AT CAPE MAY
AND LEWES...WHERE 2 FOOT DEPARTURES ARE NEEDED TO REACH THE MINOR
TIDAL FLOODING BENCHMARK. BASED ON THIS...THE COASTAL FLOOD
ADVISORY WAS EXTENDED INTO SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE.
RIGHT NOW...IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE NEXT HIGH TIDE CYCLE FOR THE
UPPER DELAWARE BAY AND TIDAL SECTION OF THE DELAWARE RIVER SHOULD
COME IN UNDER MINOR TIDAL FLOODING BENCHMARK. BOTH LOCATIONS CAME IN
JUST UNDER LATE LAST EVENING AND EARLY THIS MORNING...AND AS THE
WINDS SHIFT...THE DEPARTURES SHOULD DIMINISH.
