Strong Wind in Pennsylvania, January 18, 2012

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1119 PM EST TUE JAN 17 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA FROM THE WEST OVERNIGHT.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BEHIND THE FRONT WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY. A WEAKER COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT,
FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE FRIDAY. LOW PRESSURE FROM THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS SHOULD PASS THROUGH OR JUST SOUTH OF OUR AREA LATE
SATURDAY. A WEAK COLD FRONT IS THEN EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE
AREA ABOUT MONDAY. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM FROM THE CENTRAL
ROCKIES SHOULD REACH THE GREAT LAKES TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
THE PEAK WIND GUSTS HAVE COME DOWN WITH THE WEAKENING LINE OF
SHOWERS ACROSS EAST CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA...AS MOST GUSTS ARE NOW
BELOW 35 KNOTS. AMDAR SOUNDINGS JUST HEAD OF THE FRONT SHOW 45
KNOTS OF WIND AT 3000 FEET...WHICH APPEARS TO BE THE TOP OF THE
MIXED LAYER (BASED ON 0000 UTC SOUNDINGS TO THE WEST).

AHEAD OF THE FRONT...THE AIRMASS STABILIZED AS SKIES CLEARED AND
FOG FORMED IN SOME PLACES. AMDAR SOUNDINGS SHOW THIS CLEARLY AT
KPHL AND KEWR. THE LOW LEVEL STABILITY SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAMP DOWN
ON SOME OF THE GUSTINESS WITH AND JUST BEHIND THE FRONT. THE
BIGGEST PUSH SHOULD BE ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN...AND FOR NOW
WINDS HAVE BEEN KEPT BELOW 50 MPH WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. IF
WINDS START MIXING THROUGH THE STRATIFIED LAYER AS THE FRONT
PASSES...A SHORT FUSED WIND ADVISORY COULD BE NEEDED FOR THE
HIGHER TERRAIN.

AHEAD OF THE FRONT...SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS HAVE BEEN GUST TO 35
TO 40 MPH ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN DELAWARE...AS WELL AS THE
NEW JERSEY SHORE. 0000 UTC SOUNDINGS AND AMDAR SOUNDINGS AHEAD OF
THE FRONT SHOULD 30 TO 35 KNOTS OF WIND AT THE TOP OF THE LOWERED
INVERSION. THESE AREAS SHOULD NOT SEE WIND GUST ABOVE 40 MPH
BEFORE THE FRONTAL PASSAGE.

FOR THE MOST PART...MOISTURE IS BECOMING SPARSER AS THE FRONT
MOVES EAST...SO THE BEST CHANCE OF SHOWERS SHOULD BE ACROSS
NORTHERN AND WESTERN AREAS. SOUNDINGS TO THE WEST SHOULD THE
FREEZING LEVEL DROPPING BELOW 2000 FEET AFTER THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE...SO THE MENTION OF SNOW SHOWERS WAS MAINTAINED FOR THE
HIGHER TERRAIN LATER TONIGHT.

ALL NUMERICAL GUIDANCE SHOWS A TIGHTENING THERMAL GRADIENT WITH
AND BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. OVERNIGHT...WE SHOULD ONLY DROP INTO
THE LOWER AND MID 30S IN MOST PLACES AS COLD AIR BEGINS FUNNELING
INTO THE REGION.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
IN THE WAKE OF THE STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION 850 AND 925MB
TEMPERATURES WILL HAVE DROPPED NEARLY 15 DEGREES COLDER THAN WHAT
WAS EXPERIENCED ON TUESDAY. THESE COLDER LOW LEVEL TEMPERATURES WILL
ALLOW FOR A NEARLY ADIABATIC LAPSE RATE EXTENDING UP TO 900MB
PROVIDING STRONGER WINDS TO MIX DOWNWARD..ALTHOUGH NOT 100 PERCENT
TRANSFER. GUSTS NEAR 30KTS CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE LATE
MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA. GUSTS
SHOULD BEGIN TO WANE A BIT BY THE EVENING HOURS AS HIGH PRESSURE
NOSES IN FROM THE WEST. THIS WILL ALSO EFFECTIVELY SHUT OFF ANY MORE
PRECIPITATION FROM FALLING ACROSS OUR REGION.

THE MAVMOS SEEMED A BIT TOO WARM IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT WHERE
925MB TEMPERATURES WILL BE AROUND -7C. IF WE ARE ABLE TO MIX
COMPLETELY DRY ADIABATIC TO THE SURFACE, FROM 925MB, HIGHS WILL AT
LEAST BE IN THE UPPER 30S...THE METMOS SEEMS TO AGREE WITH THIS SO
IT WAS USED FOR HIGHS TOMORROW. THE HIGH TEMPERATURE ACROSS MUCH OF
THE AREA MAY OCCUR JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT ON WEDNESDAY BEFORE FALLING
OFF DURING THE DAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AN ACTIVE LONG TERM PERIOD IS EXPECTED WITH FOUR PRECIPITATION
SHOTS POSSIBLE. THE FIRST TWO LOOK SNOWY AND THEN WINTRY WITH THE
LAST TWO MAINLY RAIN. WE LEANED TOWARD THE ECMWF SOLUTION AS FOR
BETTER OR WORSE IS CLOSER TO A MIDDLE OF ROAD SOLUTION BETWEEN THE
00Z AND 12Z SOUNDING RUNS.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT SHOULD BE DRY, BUT QUITE COLD. THE FORECAST WINDS
SHOULD BE FAIRLY LIGHT. BUT THE MODELS ARE PASSING A JET STREAK
INDUCED CIRRUS DECK ACROSS THE SERN PART OF OUR CWA. THERE IS A
SHORT WAVE TROF PROGGED TO MOVE THRU, BUT THERE IS LITTLE IF ANY
MSTR FCST BELOW THE CIRRUS LEVEL. THIS GAVE US SOME PAUSE SE AS TO
HOW LOW CAN WE GET WITH MINS, BUT DID LEAN AT OR BELOW STAT GUIDANCE
NW WHERE THICKER CIRRUS SHOULD NOT BE AS MUCH OF A FACTOR.

CLOUDS SHOULD THEN INCREASE DURING THE DAY ON THURSDAY WITH THE
APPROACH OF THE NEXT FRONTAL BOUNDARY. PRETTY EMPHATIC WARM AIR
ADVECTION FORECAST, BUT THE CAVEAT WILL BE A VERY DRY AIR MASS IN
PLACE THAT HAS TO BE MOISTENED. THUS LOW POPS WERE MAINTAINED JUST
IN THE NW PART OF OUR CWA. STAT GUIDANCE MAX TEMPS LOOKED
REASONABLE.

THURSDAY NIGHT WE WILL SEE HOW MUCH SNOW WE CAN GET OUT OF A STONE
AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH. THE FORECAST DEEP LEVEL QVEC
CONVERGENCE LOOKS DECENT NORTH. THE MODELS ARE STILL SHOWING IF
NOT AN EXIT REGION, A JET STREAK WITH DECENT FCST DIVERGENCE ALF
OVERNIGHT. ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE THE FORECAST ISENTROPIC LIFT ABOVE
280K DOES NOT LOOK THAT GOOD AND ANY HINT OF A THETA E RIDGE WEST
OF OUR CWA GETS SQUASHED MOVING EAST.

WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT A BIG EVENT, BUT WITH THE ANTECEDENT
COLD CONDITIONS IN PLACE, THE SNOW WOULD STICK RATHER EASILY. THUS
BECAUSE OF THE IMPRESSIVE FORCING, WE ARE GOING ABOVE STATISTICAL
MEASURABLE POP GUIDANCE FOR THURSDAY NIGHT WITH LIKELY POPS WHERE
THE GREATEST MEASURABLE CONSENSUS IS CURRENTLY FCST (NRN CWA, ALSO
BEST QVEC CONV). FAR SOUTH ITS CONCEIVABLE SOME RAIN MIGHT MIX IN AT
THE START, BUT THE COLUMN IS FCST TO BE SO DRY AT THE START
BELIEVE EVAP COOLING WILL DO ITS WORK. WE WILL KEEP PTYPE AS MAINLY
SNOW. CURRENT MODEL TIMING IS MORE CENTERED ON THE EVENING, BUT FOR
TIMING ERRORS WE KEPT A LOWER CHANCE AFTER MIDNIGHT.

THEN ANOTHER DRY BUT COLD DAY IS EXPECTED ON FRIDAY IN THE WAKE OF
THE COLD FRONT WITH CLOUDS INCREASING FRIDAY NIGHT AND PRECIPITATION
POSSIBLY ARRIVING BY SATURDAY MORNING FROM THE NEXT SYSTEM.

THE GFS DID A FLIP FROM YESTERDAY AND LAST NIGHT'S SOUNDING RUN WHEN
IT WAS THE COLDEST MOST SUPPRESSED MODEL RUN. NOW THE ECMWF IS MORE
CONSERVATIVE WITH ITS CURRENT MODEL RUN AND SNOWIER (BUT FARTHER
NORTH THAN ITS NIGHT RUN ALSO). WE HAVE DECIDED TO LEAN TOWARD THE
ECMWF SOLUTION TO DAMPEN SOME OF THESE RUN TO RUN JUMPS FOR NOW.
IT IS PRETTY KNOWN THAT THE MODELS TEND TO EDGE SFC LOWS NORTHWARD
WITH TRACKS AND PCPN EXTENT. WITH A +EPO/-PNA/+NAO TELECONNECTION
COMBINATION IN PLACE WOULD BELIEVE WE WILL SEE SOME NORTHWARD
EDGING IN THE MODEL RUNS AHEAD. REGARDLESS MOST OF OUR CWA WILL BE
COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW AT THE START COURTESY OF THE DRY AIR IN PLACE.
WE WILL TRANSITION AWAY FROM SNOW AS SATURDAY PROGRESSES. HOW
QUICKLY THIS OCCURS WILL DEPEND UPON THE FINAL MODEL TRACK. SUSPECT
THAT THE NORTHERN PART OF OUR CWA WOULD STILL HAVE A RATHER
PROTRACTED PERIOD OF WINTRY PCPN BECAUSE OF THE COLD AIR MASS IN
PLACE AT THE START.

AFTER THE LOW DEPARTS, WARMER THAN NORMAL WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO
PREVAIL FOR THE REST OF THE LONG TERM.

AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT WILL BRING THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS LATER
SUNDAY INTO MONDAY MORNING. THEN WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO
THE REGION BEHIND IT LATER MONDAY. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS
OUTLOOKED TO REACH THE GREAT LAKES BY TUESDAY MORNING. SOME WARM
FRONTAL RELATED PRECIPITATION MIGHT REACH INTO OUR CWA DURING THE
DAY, ALTHOUGH BETTER CHANCES ARE WEST AND NORTHWEST OF OUR AREA.
WITH THE RAPID SEQUENCE OF PRECIPITATION EVENTS AND THE UNKNOWN
VARIABLE AS TO HOW MUCH SNOW WILL BE ON THE GROUND AFTER SATURDAY,
OTHER THAN BEING AT OR ABOVE NORMAL, ACTUAL TEMPERATURE FORECASTS
SHOULD BE VIEWED WITH LOWER CONFIDENCE THAN AVERAGE FOR THIS PART
OF THE LONG TERM.

&&

.AVIATION /04Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

IFR CONDITIONS IN LOCALLY DENSE FOG WERE ABOUT TO IMPROVE AT KABE
AS OF 02Z, IN VIEW OF THE DEVELOPING IMPROVEMENT AT QUEEN CITY
AIRPORT. PRE-FRONTAL WINDS WERE STARTING TO INCREASE WHERE FOG HAD
FORMED EARLIER THIS EVENING. GUSTIER PRE-FRONTAL WINDS OVER OUR
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN TAF SITES WHERE VFR CONDITIONS WERE
OCCURRING.

STRATOCUMULUS IS FORECAST TO INCREASE AHEAD OF A FAST-MOVING COLD
FRONT COMING IN FROM THE WEST. THE SHOWERS ALONG THE COLD FRONTAL
SQUALL LINE OVER WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA WERE FADING AS THEY MOVED
INTO CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA AS OF 02Z. WE SHOULD SEE THE WIND SHIFT
TO THE WEST IN THE 04Z TO 06Z TIME FRAME WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE.
THERE COULD BE LOCALIZED WIND GUSTS IN THE MID AND UPPER 30 KNOT
RANGE WITH THE FRONT...ESPECIALLY IF ANY LOCAL SHOWERS ARE ABLE TO
TRANSFER THE MOMENTUM OF THE STRONG 925 HPA WINDS TO THE SURFACE.

STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL TAKE PLACE WEDNESDAY MORNING, AND
COUPLED WITH A TIGHT SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT, SUSTAINED WEST TO
WEST-NORTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 15 TO 20 KNOTS WITH GUSTS
PEAKING IN THE LOWER AND MID 30 KNOT RANGE. GUSTS WILL CONTINUE
FOR MOST OF THE DAY UNTIL LATER IN THE AFTERNOON WHEN MIXING
SUBSIDES. FOR NOW, VFR STRATOCUMULUS IS FORECAST IN THE SCATTERED
RANGE...BUT COULD BE BROKEN FOR A TIME WITH THE COLD AIR
ADVECTION OCCURRING.

OUTLOOK...
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED INTO THURSDAY DAY. THE GUSTY
NORTHWEST WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH QUICKLY WEDNESDAY EVENING AND WIND
SHOULD NOT BE A FACTOR INTO THURSDAY DAY. MVFR CONDITIONS ARE
POSSIBLE IN SNOW SHOWERS ON THURSDAY NIGHT, BETTER CHANCES AND
EVEN MAYBE SOME IFR CONDITIONS NORTH. THERE IS A LOW CHANCE FOR
LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR OVERNIGHT.

VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD RETURN LATE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY NIGHT
WITH SOME GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS POSSIBLE THROUGH FRIDAY DAY. MVFR TO
IFR CONDITIONS SHOULD RETURN ON THE WEEKEND AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION IS FORECAST TO
PASS THROUGH THE REGION. IMPROVEMENT BACK TOWARD VFR CONDITIONS IS
OUTLOOKED FOR SUNDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
A STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL KEEP WINDS AND SEAS ELEVATED
THROUGH AT LEAST THE NEXT 24 HOURS. WINDS WILL SWING AROUND TO THE
WEST-SOUTHWEST LATE TONIGHT AND INCREASE IN STRENGTH...DUE TO A
COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE BETWEEN 06Z AND 07Z TONIGHT. BEHIND THE FRONT
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN, AND COMBINED WITH THE STRONG
COLD AIR ADVECTION, ALLOW ENHANCED VERTICAL MIXING TO TAKE PLACE.
FOR THIS REASON, GALES LOOK PROBABLE DURING THE LATE NIGHT AND
MORNING HOURS. WINDS SHOULD BEGIN TO RELAX LATER WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES CLOSER AND THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
WEAKENS. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL BE NEEDED FOR THE AFTERNOON
HOURS WEDNESDAY...ONCE THE GALES END.
