AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1244 PM EDT WED SEP 5 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER NEW ENGLAND TODAY WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
NORTHEAST THROUGH TONIGHT. AN ATTACHED FRONT WILL SLOWLY CROSS THE
AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. THE FRONT WILL STALL SOUTH OF THE
AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL AFFECT THE AREA
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE STALLED
FRONT AND MOVE BACK TOWARD THE AREA THIS WEEKEND...BRINGING MORE
UNSETTLED WEATHER. TROPICAL SYSTEM LESLIE WILL REMAIN WELL TO THE
EAST THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
A WEAK FRONT IS GRADUALLY PROGRESSING THROUGH OUR REGION THIS
AFTERNOON, WITH SOME SHWR/TSTORM ACTIVITY JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT
INTO CENTRAL NJ. SCATTERED CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY IS IN STORE FOR THE
NEXT FEW HOURS, BEFORE TAPERING OFF EARLY THIS EVENING. WITH THE
FRONT ALREADY THROUGH NORTHWEST NJ, THE POCONOS, AND THE LEHIGH
VALLEY, HOURLY TEMPS AND DEWPOINTS HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED DOWN TO
REFLECT CURRENT TRENDS.
OTHERWISE, TODAY SHOULD BE OUR FINAL ROUND OF HEAVY PRECIPITATION
IN OUR REGION. A LOW LEVEL JET EXTENDED FROM THE CAROLINAS UP TO
NEW ENGLAND THIS MORNING. THE FEATURE WILL LIFT SLOWLY TO THE
NORTHEAST TODAY. AN AXIS OF DEEP MOISTURE COINCIDENT WITH THE LOW
LEVEL JET WILL REMAIN OVER OUR REGION EARLY TODAY, THEN IT SHOULD DRIFT
SLOWLY TO THE EAST.
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE LOCATED OVER MAINE TODAY WILL PROGRESS TO THE
EAST, REACHING CANADA'S MARITIME PROVINCES LATE IN THE DAY. THE
LOW IS FORECAST TO PULL A WEAKENING FRONTAL BOUNDARY INTO OUR
REGION FOR TODAY.
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN AT OR ABOVE 2
INCHES IN MUCH OF OUR REGION FOR THIS MORNING, WITH A GRADUAL
DECREASE FROM THE NORTHWEST IN THE AFTERNOON. WITH ABUNDANT LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE, MODERATE INSTABILITY, THE SURFACE BOUNDARY AND
WEAK IMPULSES TRAVELING IN THE MID LEVEL FLOW, WE HAVE THE
INGREDIENTS FOR SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ALONG WITH
HEAVY DOWNPOURS.
WE WILL KEEP THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN PLACE FOR THE PHILADELPHIA
METROPOLITAN AREA WITH URBAN LOCATIONS REMAINING THE MOST
SUSCEPTIBLE TO FLASH FLOODING IN OUR CURRENT SITUATION. HOWEVER,
LOCALIZED FLOODING REMAINS POSSIBLE IN THE REMAINDER OF OUR
FORECAST AREA, AS WELL.
SOME BREAKS OF SUNSHINE TODAY SHOULD ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO RISE
INTO THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 80S AT MOST LOCATIONS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM THURSDAY/...
AS THE AXIS OF DEEP MOISTURE CONTINUES TO DRIFT TO OUR EAST
TONIGHT, THE THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN WILL COME TO AN END. IMPULSES IN
THE MID LEVEL FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO NUDGE THE MOISTURE AND THE
WEAKENING SURFACE FRONT OFF THE COAST. THE CHANCE FOR
PRECIPITATION WILL DECREASE FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST.
THE AIR BEHIND THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS ONLY SLIGHTLY COOLER AND
SLIGHTLY LESS HUMID THAT THE AIR AHEAD OF IT. AS A RESULT, IT
SHOULD BE ANOTHER MILD NIGHT, WITH LOW TEMPERATURES MAINLY IN THE
60S.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE AND SLIGHT H5 RIDGING ACROSS THE REGION
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WILL PROVIDE SOME DEGREE OF RELIEF FROM THE
RECENT SPELL OF HUMID/SHOWERY WEATHER. THE SFC FRONT WILL BE
STALLED SOUTH OF THE AREA THROUGH THE PERIOD. ITS NOT A STRONG
RIDGE ALOFT AND WITH WARM TEMPERATURES AT THE SFC...SOME AFTERNOON
AND EARLY EVENING SHOWERS OR A TSTM MAY BE TRIGGERED. THE SLGT CHC
POPS WERE LEFT IN THE GRIDS FOR NOW. TEMPERATURES THU/FRI ABOVE
NORMAL.
AN UPPER TROUGH DEVELOPING TO THE WEST FRI WILL MOVE EASTWARD AND
COLLECT THE SFC FRONT STALLED TO THE SOUTH. THIS WILL PRODUCE
SHOWERS/TSTMS FOR SAT INTO SUN NIGHT. CHC POPS ARE IN THE GRIDS
FOR THESE PERIODS NOW. SOME HEAVY RAINS ARE POSSIBLE FOR THESE
PERIODS.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.
WE ARE EXPECTING ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH
HEAVY RAIN TODAY AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WORKS ITS WAY SLOWLY
THROUGH OUR REGION FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST. AS A RESULT,
CONDITIONS FOR AVIATION WILL AGAIN BE LESS THAN IDEAL. WE WILL
INDICATE PREVAILING VFR CEILING AND VISIBILITY VALUES. HOWEVER,
CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY DROP TO MVFR OR IFR AT TIMES NEAR AND IN
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
A VERY GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT FROM THE NORTHWEST IS FORECAST TO TAKE
PLACE DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD BEGIN TO PASS
OFF THE COAST LATE IN THE DAY.
CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO BE MAINLY VFR FOR THIS EVENING.
OVERNIGHT, LINGERING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE MAY RESULT IN SOME LOW
CLOUDS AND PATCHY OF FOG.
OUTLOOK...
THU THROUGH FRI NIGHT...MOSTLY VFR BUT OVERNIGHT FOG IS POSSIBLE.
SAT THROUGH SUN..VFR AT TIMES...BUT LOWER CONDITIONS IN SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND ISOLATED TSTMS WITH MVFR/IFR POSSIBLE.
&&
.MARINE...
A SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ON THE COASTAL
WATERS OF NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT. WIND
SPEEDS TODAY SHOULD BE MAINLY IN THE 10 TO 20 KNOT RANGE. SPEEDS
ARE FORECAST TO DECREASE TO AROUND 10 KNOTS FOR TONIGHT.
WAVE HEIGHTS ON OUR OCEAN WATERS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN THE 4
TO 7 FOOT RANGE WITH A LONG PERIOD SOUTHEASTERLY SWELL. THE SWELL
PERIOD THIS MORNING WAS AROUND 14 SECONDS. WE WILL CONTINUE THE
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY ON OUR OCEAN WATERS. WAVE HEIGHTS ON DELAWARE
BAY SHOULD BE MOSTLY IN THE 1 TO 3 FOOT RANGE, POSSIBLY CLOSE TO 4
FEET NEAR THE MOUTH OF THE BAY.
OUTLOOK...
LONG PERIOD SWELLS TO SCA CRITERIA WILL LIKELY EXTEND INTO THE
WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK ON THE OCEAN. SUB-SCA CONDITIONS
EXPECTED ON DEL BAY...WITH A FEW HIGHER SWELL WAVES NEAR THE MOUTH
OF THE BAY.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED FOR
TODAY. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF AN INCH OR TWO MAY BE COMMON. THERE IS
THE POSSIBILITY OF LOCALIZED HIGHER AMOUNTS. WITH HIGH
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AND THE POTENTIAL FOR TRAINING ECHOES,
SOME LOCATIONS COULD PICK UP 2 TO 4 INCHES OF RAIN IN A SHORT
AMOUNT OF TIME. WITH THE WET CONDITIONS OF THE PAST FEW DAYS,
LOCALIZED FLOODING REMAINS A THREAT.
&&
.RIP CURRENTS...
WE HAVE CONTINUED WITH A HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS FOR TODAY.
WAVES IN THE SURF ZONE SHOULD RANGE FROM 4 TO 6 FEET WITH A 13 TO
14 SECOND SOUTHEASTERLY SWELL.
LONG PERIOD SWELLS FROM DISTANT TROPICAL SYSTEM LESLIE ARE
FORECAST TO AFFECT THE COASTS OF DELAWARE AND NEW JERSEY INTO AT
LEAST THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK. AS A RESULT, A PROLONGED PERIOD
WITH A MODERATE TO HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS IS ANTICIPATED.
