Winter Storm and Winter Weather in Pennsylvania, March 18 to 19, 2013

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
936 AM EDT MON MAR 18 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
WEAK LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST THIS MORNING WILL
DEVELOP STEADILY INTO A SIGNIFICANT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM BY THE TIME
IT PASSES JUST EAST OF NEW JERSEY TUESDAY MORNING...ON ITS WAY TO
MAINE BY WEDNESDAY. IN THE MEANTIME...A NEW AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
FORMS ON A SECONDARY COLD FRONT CROSSING THE MID ATLANTIC COAST
WEDNESDAY EVENING. THAT LOW MOVES EAST OF NEW ENGLAND BY THURSDAY.
EXTENSIVE HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED IN NORTHERN CANADA WILL DOMINATE
MUCH OF NORTH AMERICA FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING
ALONG THE GULF COAST NEXT WEEKEND WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED FOR A
POSSIBLE TURN UP THE COAST EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
BASED ON RADAR AND SFC OBSERVATIONS...HAVE SCALED BACK POPS
THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. PRECIPITATION IS HAVING A
DIFFICULT TIME REACHING THE GROUND THROUGH THE DRY AIR ABOVE THE
SURFACE...AND IT MAY TAKE A LITTLE LONGER THAN PREVIOUSLY
ADVERTISED FOR THE COLUMN TO MOISTEN SUFFICIENTLY. HEADLINES WILL
REMAIN THE SAME FOR NOW...ALTHOUGH WE WILL CONTINUE TO RE-EXAMINE
THE SITUATION AND MAKE ANY NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS AS THE EVENT
UNFOLDS. ANY PRECIPITATION THAT FALLS DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS
SHOULD BE VERY LIGHT.

HIGH PRESSURE WELL TO THE NORTH CONTINUES TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE
AREA. LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY WILL
CONSOLIDATE ACROSS THE LOWER LAKES TONIGHT. THE FRONTS ASSOCIATED
WITH THESE LOW PRESSURE AREAS WILL AFFECT OUR WEATHER TODAY.
MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO OVERSPREAD THE AREA TODAY WITH PCPN
BEGINNING ACROSS THE DELMARVA BY MID MORNING AND THEN SPREADING
NORTH/EAST THIS AFTERNOON. THE PCPN WILL BE MOSTLY RAIN S/E OF I-95
AND MOSTLY SN/IP MIX NORTH AND WEST OF METRO PHILADELPHIA. LIGHT TO
MODERATE ACCUMS OF SNOW AND ICE WILL LEAD US TO CONTINUE THE WWA
FLAGS ACROSS THE AREAS TODAY AND TONIGHT. THE SLIGHTLY LATER ONSET
TIMES MAY FAVOR LESS SNOW THAN THE PREVIOUS FCST...BUT SNOW TOTALS
WERE NOT TRIMMED MUCH FROM EARLIER. HIGH TEMPERATURES WERE MOSTLY
MAV/MOS BASED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM TUESDAY/...
A WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ALONG THE COLD FRONT AND CROSS
THE REGION LATE. THIS WILL BRING A CONTINUATION OF RAIN (SNOW
FARTHEST NORTH) TONIGHT. THE RAINFALL MAY BE MODERATE INTO THE
EVENING WITH TOTAL QPF NEAR AN INCH POSSIBLE. LOW TEMPERATURES
TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S S/E AND LOW 30S N/W. WINDS
WILL SHIFT FROM ONSHORE DIRECTION BACK TO WRLY/SWRLY BY DAWN TUE.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
**DELAYED SPRING AS WINTRY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE AT TIMES HERE
 THIS WEEK AND POSSIBLY NEXT**

500MB: CLOSED LOW SHORT WAVE OVER LSUPR GOES NEGATIVE AS IT MOVES TO
QUEBEC WEDNESDAY...ROTATING A STRONG SHORT WAVE ACROSS OUR REGION
LATE WEDNESDAY THAT PULLS THE LARGE CLOSED LOW OVER TO NOVA SCOTIA
BY FRIDAY. IT CONTINUES EAST INTO THE ATLANTIC OVER THE WEEKEND
WHILE A NEW STRONG TROUGH DEVELOPS OVER THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
ON SUNDAY.

CALENDAR DAY AVERAGE TEMPERATURES: NEAR NORMAL TUESDAY...5 TO 10
DEGREES BELOW NORMAL WEDNESDAY...10 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL
THURSDAY...10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FRIDAY...5 TO 10 DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL SATURDAY AND JUST A LITTLE BELOW NORMAL SUNDAY.

THE DAILIES BELOW...

00Z/18 NCEP 50 50 BLENDED NCEP MOS GUIDANCE (GFS/NAM) TUE AND WED
THEN A SEAMLESS BLENDED INTO THE 06Z/18 WPC (FORMERLY HPC) D4-7 UPDATE...
UNLESS SIGNIFICANT SPECIFIC MODEL ADJUSTMENTS ARE OTHERWISE
NOTED.

TUESDAY...LEFTOVER MORNING RAIN /ICE FAR NW/ ENDS. BECOMING BREEZY
TUESDAY AFTERNOON WITH CLEARING AND POSSIBLY THE MILDEST TEMPERATURES
OF THE WEEK. W WIND GUSTY 25 TO 30 MPH.

WEDNESDAY...A SECONDARY CFP IN THE EVENING AS LOW PRESSURE FORMS
ON THE FRONT OVER THE MID ATLC STATES. THERE SEEMS TO ME TO BE A
PROBABLE PERIOD OF SHOWERS LATE IN THE AFTN OR MORE LIKELY AT NIGHT
THAT COULD BE MEASURABLE SNOW FROM KRDG TO KABE NORTHWARD THROUGH
THE POCONOS AND NW NJ AND MOSTLY RAIN SHOWERS ENDING AS SNOW
SHOWERS ELSEWHERE. WEST WIND GUSTY 20 TO 25 MPH EARLY WEDNESDAY WITH
WIND BACKING TO SSW G15 MPH LATE IN THE DAY AS LOW LVL LAPSE RATES
INCREASE CONSIDERABLY AND MOISTEN ENOUGH TO PRODUCE BANDS OR CLUSTERS
OF SHOWERS AT DAYS END. WSHIFT NW LATER AT NIGHT AS SKIES CLEAR FM
NW TO SE LATE AT NIGHT.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...FAIR AND COLDER WITH WNW WIND G 20-25 MPH
DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS.

SATURDAY...FAIR AND NOT QUITE AS COLD.

SUNDAY...UNCERTAINTY BUT PROBABLY A NORTH WIND AND FAIR SKIES. NOT
QUITE AS COLD. MONITORING THE NORTHERN FRINGE OF A GULF COAST LOW
AND ITS FUTURE PATH EARLY NEXT WEEK.

CONFIDENCE IN THE ENTIRE LONG TERM FORECAST DETAILS AND REASONING
DESCRIBED ABOVE ARE NOT QUITE AS HIGH AS I'D LIKE. CHANGES ARE
OCCURRING IN THE FCST EXPECTATIONS AS SHORT WAVES WITHIN THIS
BLOCKED FLOW ARE MORE DEFINITIVELY ENSEMBLED MIDWEEK AND EARLY
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

VFR CONDITIONS CONTINUE AT THE TERMINALS THIS MORNING BUT CEILINGS
ARE STARTING TO LOWER TO THE SOUTH AND WEST OF THE REGION. MVFR
CONDITIONS WILL START TO ARRIVE BY LATE MORNING AT THE SOUTHERN
SITES AND THEN SPREAD NORTHWARD THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON AS THE WARM
FRONT AND LOW PRESSURE ALONG IT AFFECT THE AREA.

WE SLOWED DOWN THE ONSET OF PRECIPITATION AS RADAR RETURNS ARE
SHOWING A DRY SLOT FORMING TO OUR WEST. A FEW FLURRIES OR LIGHT
RAIN SHOWERS MAY OCCUR THROUGH THIS MORNING ALTHOUGH WITH THE DRY
AIR IN PLACE MOSTLY VIRGA WILL REMAIN AROUND THE REGION. THE BULK
OF THE PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TOWARD THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. PCPN WILL MOVE FROM SOUTH TO NORTH TODAY WITH MOSTLY RAIN
S/E (SOME -PL POSSIBLE AT ONSET) AND MOSTLY -SN N/W CHANGING TO
RAIN LATE THIS AFTERNOON WITH SOME PL DURING THE TRANSITION.
MOSTLY ALL RAIN TONIGHT WITH SOME -SN ACROSS THE FAR NORTH/WEST.
MOSTLY IFR CONDITIONS TONIGHT WITH LOW CIGS/VSBYS AND FOG
POSSIBLE.

OUTLOOK...
TUESDAY MORNING AFTER 12Z...IFR. LEFTOVER MORNING RAIN, EXCEPT
POSSIBLE ICE POCONOS INTO FAR NW NJ N OF RTE 80. LIGHT WIND.

TUE AFTN/EVE...VFR SCT-BKN AOA 4000 FT, EXCEPT NORTHWEST TERMINALS
WHERE ISOLATED SHOWERS IN DEVELOPING GUSTY W FLOW TO AT LEAST 25
KTS COULD DELIVER BRIEF MVFR.

TUE NIGHT...MAINLY VFR WITH FEW OR SCT CLOUDS AOA 5000. EXCEPTION
POCONOS WHERE MVFR CONDS IN A SNOW SHOWER MAY OCCUR.  GUSTY WNW WIND
20-25 KTS.

WEDNESDAY...VFR TO START WITH CIGS AOA 5000 FT DEVELOPING IN THE
AFTN.  POSSIBLE BRIEF MVFR/IFR CONDS IN SHOWERS DURING LATE AFTN/EVE
WHICH WOULD PROBABLY BE RAIN OR RAIN CHANGING TO SNOW SHOWERS
EXCEPTING KRDG/KABE NORTHWARD WHERE MOSTLY SNOW SHOWERS ARE
ENVISIONED. W WIND 20-25 KTS TO START THE DAY WEDNESDAY BECOMING
LIGHT SOUTH LATE IN THE DAY THEN A WSHIFT TO NW DURING WED
EVENING. SOME INDICATIONS OF LARGE DENDRITIC GROWTH SNOW FOR THE
SHOWERY BANDS.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...VFR WITH SCT-BKN CLOUDS AOA 5000 FT AND A WNW
WIND G 20-25 KTS EACH AFTN. EXCEPTION...BRIEF POSSIBLE MVFR CONDS
IN SNOW SHOWERS POCONOS.

&&

.MARINE...
WE WILL CONTINUE WITH THE SCA FLAGS AS PER THE PREVIOUS FCST. SCA
CONDITIONS FOR GUSTS WILL BEGIN ACROSS THE SOUTHERN COASTAL WATERS
AND LOWER DEL BAY EARLY THIS MORNING AND THEN LATER THIS MORNING
ACROSS THE NORTHERN WATERS. GUSTS AROUND 25 TO 30 KTS EXPECTED.
PRECIPITATION...MOSTLY RAIN WILL MOVE FROM SOUTH TO NORTH TODAY AND
BE ACROSS THE WATERS INTO TONIGHT. AREAS OF FOG WILL DEVELOP ON THE
WATERS TONIGHT. WINDS WILL BE MOSTLY E/SE TODAY AND THEN SHIFT TO
SRLY TONIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE AND ITS ASSOCIATED FRONTS CROSS THE
WATERS.

OUTLOOK...
TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY...SCA'S EXPECTED. GALES POSSIBLE TUESDAY
NIGHT AND WED MORNING. NCEP MODELS ARE NOT AGREEING ON THE GALE
LOCATION SO HELD OFF ON ANY GALE WATCH ON THIS SHIFT.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...SCA WNW FLOW DEVELOPS THURSDAY...TIMING
UNCERTAIN BEHIND THE RAPIDLY DEVELOPING BUT NEWD DEPARTING NJ COAST
LOW. CERTAINLY NW SCA BY THU NIGHT AND PROBABLY LASTS ALL DAY FRIDAY.
SMALL CHANCE BRIEF GALE THU NIGHT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
I95 CORRIDOR IS STILL A SMALL CONCERN FOR ISOLATED SMALL STREAM
FLOODING LATER TONIGHT. TOMORROW...ANY POSSIBLE MINOR SMALL STREAM
FLOODING RECEDES WITH LARGER MAINSTEMS IN NJ ON THE RISE BUT
WITHIN BANKFULL. THIS ALL DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH RAIN FALLS THIS
COMING MONDAY NIGHT ALONG AND JUST SE OF THE I95 CORRIDOR.
1 INCH IN 6 HOURS WOULD BE A PROBLEM FOR SOME OF THE FLASHIER
SMALL STREAMS ALONG THE I95 CORRIDOR AND IF WE GET BASIN AVG OF
1.5 INCHES IN CENTRAL NEW JERSEY..THE MILLSTONE WOULD RESPOND.
RFALL TONIGHT IS THE GUIDE ON THE STREAM/RIVER RESPONSE.
