AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
525 PM EDT FRI JUL 12 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN NEAR THE REGION THROUGH SATURDAY. THE
FRONT WILL THEN GRADUALLY BE PUSHED WESTWARD AS IT DISSIPATES OVER
THE WEEKEND. BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WILL
BUILD INTO THE REGION FROM THE EAST AND PERSIST THROUGH NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
AN UPDATE HAS BEEN SENT TO INCREASE THE POPS FARTHER NORTH AND
WEST AS RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS NUMEROUS SHOWERS /A SHIELD OF RAIN/
OVERSPREADING MUCH OF THE CWA. THIS IS ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK
SURFACE LOW THAT IS SLOWLY LIFTING NORTHWARD ALONG A STALLED
FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THE THUNDER MENTION WAS REMOVED AS ANY LIGHTNING
SHOULD BE RATHER ISOLATED WITH THE ACTIVITY LOW TOPPED. THE HOURLY
GRIDS WERE ALSO ADJUSTED TO REFLECT THE COOLER READINGS. NO
CHANGES ATTM TO THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH /FOR MORE INFO, SEE THE
HYDROLOGY SECTION BELOW/.
OTHERWISE, A MID LEVEL LOW WAS LOCATED OVER THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY.
THIS FEATURE WILL DROP TO THE SOUTHWEST ACROSS EASTERN KENTUCKY
TONIGHT LEAVING OUR REGION UNDER A DIVERGENT FLOW ALOFT. THE
SURFACE WIND IS FORECAST TO VEER TOWARD THE EAST TONIGHT.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
THE MID LEVEL LOW IS EXPECTED TO WORK ITS WAY DOWN THE LOWER OHIO
RIVER VALLEY ON SATURDAY AS A RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD OVER OUR REGION
FROM THE EAST. THE SURFACE BOUNDARY IS FORECAST TO DISSIPATE OVER OR
NEAR OUR REGION.
THERE SHOULD BE A FAIR AMOUNT OF LOW LEVEL CLOUDINESS ON SATURDAY
MORNING DUE TO ALL OF THE LINGERING MOISTURE IN OUR REGION. THE
CLOUD COVER IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN TO BREAK DURING THE MID MORNING
HOURS IN RESPONSE TO THE STRONG JULY SUNSHINE AND THE LACK OF MUCH
HIGH CLOUD COVER OVERHEAD. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION A CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR SATURDAY WITH THE DISSIPATING FRONT IN
OUR VICINITY. THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD NOT BE AS WIDESPREAD, HEAVY
OR PERSISTENT AS THAT OF TODAY.
THE SURFACE FLOW IS ANTICIPATED TO VEER TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST FOR
SATURDAY AND TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO RISE INTO THE LOWER AND
MIDDLE 80S AT MOST LOCATIONS AS SOME SUNSHINE BREAKS THROUGH THE
CLOUD COVER.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD INTO THE REGION FROM THE EAST
AND WILL DOMINATE OUR WEATHER THROUGH MUCH OF THE EXTENDED. TOWARD
THE END OF THE PERIOD, THE HIGH STARTS TO BREAK DOWN AND SHIFTS TO
THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE REGION.
IN THE MID LEVELS, A CUT OFF LOW WILL MOVE TO THE WEST/SOUTHWEST,
ALLOWING FOR MID LEVEL RIDGING TO BUILD OVER THE EASTERN TWO-THIRDS
OF THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES. TOWARDS THE END OF THE PERIOD, THE
RIDGING STARTS TO FLATTEN OUT AND WE WILL SEE A ZONAL PATTERN
DEVELOP.
WHILE THERE WILL BE SUBSIDENCE THAT DEVELOPS UNDER THE RIDGE, WE
WILL STILL HAVE CHANCES FOR SOME DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION,
ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF OUR AREA WHERE WE HAVE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS. WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES REMAINING IN THE
1.5-2.0 INCH RANGE, HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE TO BE A CONCERN.
THE MODELS INDICATE THAT SOME KIND OF TROUGH MAY DEVELOP ACROSS OUR
AREA AS THE HIGH MOVES TO OUR WEST AND THEN STARTS TO BREAK DOWN.
THIS TROUGH MAY ALSO HELP TO BE A FOCUS FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT
DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR NORMAL AT THE START OF THE PERIOD WITH
HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S. AS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE THROUGH
THE WEEK, WE WILL SEE A SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW DEVELOP AND MOISTURE WILL
BEGIN TO INCREASE STEADILY. TEMPERATURES WILL INCREASE AND WE LOOK
TO BE HEADED INTO OUR NEXT HEAT WAVE OF THE SUMMER WITH DAILY
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES INTO THE LOW TO MID 90S. NOT MUCH RELIEF WILL
BE FELT AT NIGHT EITHER AS LOWS WILL STRUGGLE TO DROP BELOW 70,
ESPECIALLY IN THE MORE URBANIZED AREAS.
THE BIG KICKER WILL BE THE FACT THAT MOISTURE WILL BE ON THE RISE.
WITH DEWPOINTS STEADILY RISING INTO THE 70S, POSSIBLY REACHING THE
MID 70S BY MIDWEEK, THE AIRMASS WILL BECOME QUITE HUMID AND IT WILL
FEEL VERY MUGGY WHEN OUTSIDE. THIS HUMID AIRMASS WILL CAUSE HEAT
INDEX VALUES TO RISE INTO THE UPPER 90S AND LOWER 100S /MAINLY
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN AREAS/ FOR SEVERAL DAYS.
&&
.AVIATION /21Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.
TONIGHT...MVFR TO IFR AS RAIN MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. THE GREATLY
LOWERED VISIBILITIES WILL BE MAINLY TIED TO THE RAIN INTENSITY,
WITH IT DROPPING TO NEAR 1SM AT TIMES THIS EVENING. REGARDING
CEILINGS, MVFR/IFR IS EXPECTED. THESE CEILINGS MAY TEND TO VARY AT
TIMES ESPECIALLY DURING THE RAIN THIS EVENING. NORTHEAST TO EAST
WINDS MAINLY 10-15 KNOTS THIS EVENING, SHOULD DIMINISH SOME.
SATURDAY...IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS SHOULD OCCUR EARLY AS A RESULT OF THE
LINGERING LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE. IMPROVEMENT TO VFR IS ANTICIPATED FOR
THE MID TO LATE MORNING HOURS AS HEATING WORKS ON THE LOW-LEVEL
MOISTURE. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE, MAINLY
IN THE AFTERNOON. HOWEVER, THEIR TIMING AND COVERAGE REMAINS
UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME, SO THEY WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE TAFS.
EAST-NORTHEAST WINDS BECOMING SOUTHEAST NEAR 10 KNOTS.
OUTLOOK...
SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED.
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE ANTICIPATED,
MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH LOCAL MVFR OR LOWER
CONDITIONS POSSIBLE IN ANY STORMS.
&&
.MARINE...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY LOCATED OVER THE WATERS TO OUR EAST THIS
AFTERNOON WILL DRIFT BACK TO THE WEST AND INLAND TONIGHT. THE
BOUNDARY SHOULD DISSIPATE ON SATURDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO
BUILD INTO OUR REGION FROM THE EAST.
A NORTHEAST TO EAST WIND IS EXPECTED FOR THIS EVENING AT SPEEDS OF
10 TO 15 KNOTS. THERE COULD BE SOME GUSTS TO 20 OR 25 KNOTS ON OUR
WATERS FROM ATLANTIC CITY NORTHWARD. THE WIND IS FORECAST TO VEER
GRADUALLY TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST FOR SATURDAY AT SPEEDS AROUND 10
KNOTS.
THE NORTHEAST FLOW IS EXPECTED TO BUILD SEAS TO NEAR 5 FEET ON OUR
OCEAN WATERS FROM ATLANTIC CITY NORTHWARD FOR MUCH OF THE NIGHT.
ELSEWHERE ON OUR OCEAN WATERS, WAVE HEIGHTS SHOULD RANGE FROM 3 TO 4
FEET. THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL BE LEFT IN PLACE FOR OUR
NORTHERN WATERS UNTIL 200 AM. WAVE HEIGHTS ARE EXPECTED TO SUBSIDE
GRADUALLY FOR LATE TONIGHT AND SATURDAY.
OUTLOOK...
SUB-ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ON THE AREA WATERS THROUGH THE
PERIOD. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL TURN MORE SOUTHWESTERLY AS HIGH
PRESSURE MOVES BUILDS IN FROM THE EAST.
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE ANTICIPATED TO
OCCUR THROUGH MOST OF THE PERIOD, MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS.
THIS MAY CAUSE WINDS TO BECOME GUSTY OVER THE AREA WATERS AND WILL
LIKELY REDUCE VISIBILITIES.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
VERY HEAVY RAIN HAS FALLEN ACROSS EASTERN MARYLAND AND DELAWARE,
AND HAS OVERSPREAD SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY. THE RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO
LIFT NORTH AND NORTHWESTWARD AS A WEAK SURFACE LOW MOVES THROUGH.
THE RAINFALL RATES HAVE BEEN IMPRESSIVE, AND THIS WILL CONTINUE
FOR AWHILE THIS EVENING. THE GREATEST THREAT FOR FLASH FLOODING
SHOULD BE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN AREAS, HOWEVER SOME POOR DRAINAGE AND
STREET FLOODING CAN OCCUR NORTH OF THE WATCH AREA. WE MAY BE ABLE
TO CANCEL THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE WATCH OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS
AS THE HEAVIER RAIN CONTINUES TO CLEAR THOSE AREAS.
RAINFALL TOTALS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES ARE EXPECTED IN THE WATCH AREA WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. THE HEAVIEST OF THE RAIN WILL FALL IN A
RELATIVELY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, RESULTING IN THE THREAT OF FLASH
FLOODING EARLY THIS EVENING.
