AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
911 AM EST TUE JAN 7 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD INTO OUR REGION FROM
THE WEST, SENDING COLD, ARCTIC AIR INTO THE MID ATLANTIC. THIS
HIGH PRESSURE WILL GRADUALLY MOVE OFFSHORE LATE WEDNESDAY AS
TEMPERATURES BEGIN TO MODERATE. ANOTHER AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE FROM
THE NORTHERN PLAINS WILL PASS OVER OUR REGION DURING THURSDAY,
FOLLOWED BY A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHING FROM THE WEST
FRIDAY. OVER THE WEEKEND, LOW PRESSURE TRACKING TO OUR NORTH WILL
SEND A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC SATURDAY NIGHT. MORE LOW
PRESSURE DEVELOPING TO OUR SOUTH MAY AFFECT THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT
OR MONDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
930 UPDATE...FEW CHANGES TO THE GOING FORECAST. WINDS ON LAND HAVE
DIMINISHED SLIGHTLY ALREADY...BUT THINK THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY
LULL DUE TO NOCTURNAL INVERSION/DECOUPLING OF WINDS. STILL EXPECT
GUSTY WINDS TO CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THE
LATEST OBS SHOW WIND CHILL VALUES RANGING FROM -31 AT MOUNT
POCONO...TO -7 IN TALBOT COUNTY.
TODAY'S MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS TO THE
NORTHWEST OF THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR WITH SOME SPOTS IN THE
POCONOS NOT GETTING ABOVE ZERO. FOR THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR
SOUTHEASTWARD TO THE OCEAN, HIGHS SHOULD BE IN THE 10 TO 15 DEGREE
RANGE.
THE WIND CHILL WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE POCONOS WITH A
WIND CHILL ADVISORY ELSEWHERE.
THE AIR MASS IS EXTREMELY DRY, SO CLOUDS WILL BE LIMITED WITH
PERHAPS ONLY A FEW PASSING STRATOCUMULUS ACROSS OUR NORTHERN
COUNTIES.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM WEDNESDAY/...
WIND SPEEDS ARE FORECAST TO DIMINISH GRADUALLY FOR TONIGHT.
REGARDLESS, THE AIR MASS WILL REMAIN VERY COLD AND WE WILL
CONTINUE THE WIND CHILL WARNING FOR THE POCONOS AND THE WIND
ADVISORY FOR THE REST OF OUR FORECAST AREA WITH ONE EXCEPTION. IT
APPEARS AS THOUGH WIND SPEEDS WILL DROP ENOUGH TO ALLOW WIND CHILL
VALUES TO RISE SOLIDLY ABOVE THE ADVISORY CRITERIA OF MINUS 10 IN
OUR DELMARVA COUNTIES SOUTH OF CECIL IN MARYLAND AND NEW CASTLE IN
DELAWARE.
THE SKY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN MOSTLY CLEAR FOR TONIGHT.
TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO DROP AROUND ZERO IN MUCH OF EASTERN
PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW JERSEY. THE URBAN CORRIDOR ALONG INTERSTATE
95 SHOULD FALL ONLY INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS. THE SAME IS TRUE FOR
THE JERSEY SHORE AND MOST LOCATIONS IN NORTHEASTERN MARYLAND AND
DELAWARE. THE POCONOS SHOULD DROP INTO THE ZERO TO MINUS 7 RANGE.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
TO START THE LONG TERM, SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND A MID-LEVEL
TROUGH WILL BE GRADUALLY MOVING EAST OF OUR AREA AND OFFSHORE,
WITH THE MID-LEVEL FLOW BECOMING MORE ZONAL BY LATE WEDNESDAY.
OVERALL, THIS WILL MEAN MODERATING TEMPERATURES DURING THE DAYTIME
WEDNESDAY AND INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT FOR OUR REGION, ESPECIALLY
AFTER THE COLD, ARCTIC BLAST EXPERIENCED TUESDAY. WE GENERALLY
FOLLOWED A BLEND OF MET/MAV GUIDANCE FOR MAXIMUM TEMPS WEDNESDAY,
WITH MUCH OF THE REGION EXPECTING HIGHS IN THE 20S, EXCEPT SOME
TEENS FOR THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS INTO NORTHERN NJ AND THE POCONOS.
ALSO OF NOTE FOR WEDNESDAY, WINDS ACROSS THE REGION ARE EXPECTED
TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN THOSE EXPERIENCED ON TUESDAY,
AVERAGING 5 TO 10 MPH FOR MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA.
INTO THURSDAY, ANOTHER AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE NORTHERN
PLAINS IS FORECAST TO SHIFT SOUTHEAST AND PASS OVER OUR REGION.
THE MODERATING TEMPERATURE TREND IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE, WITH
MUCH OF THE REGION ANTICIPATING NEAR NORMAL HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR
EARLY JANUARY, INTO THE 30S FOR THE MOST PART, WITH SOME LOWER 40S
ACROSS SOUTHERN NJ AND THE DELMARVA. FROM THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY, A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL SLOWLY APPROACH OUR REGION
FROM THE WEST AS AN ONSHORE FLOW DEVELOPS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
THURSDAY NIGHT WITH THE DEPARTING HIGH PRESSURE TO OUR EAST. IN
ADDITION, A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE IS SHOWN TO PASS JUST TO THE NORTH
OF OUR AREA LATE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY. THE BULK OF THE
FORECAST AREA SHOULD HAVE DRY WEATHER THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY,
BUT A FEW LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS CANNOT BE RULED OUT FOR OUR FAR
NORTHERN ZONES, AS WELL AS A FEW SNOW TO RAIN SHOWERS THURSDAY
NIGHT INTO FRIDAY FOR MOST OF THE DELMARVA INTO FAR SOUTHERN NJ.
SOME CHANCES FOR LIGHT PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE FRIDAY NIGHT
INTO SATURDAY FOR THE CWA AS THE ONSHORE FLOW CONTINUES. THROUGH
THE DAYTIME SATURDAY, A SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL DEVELOP AND PICK UP
ACROSS THE REGION, WITH NOTICEABLY MILDER AIR FILTERING INTO THE
MID ATLANTIC. HIGHS ON SATURDAY ARE FORECAST TO BE AROUND 10 TO 15
DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE, REACHING THE MID TO UPPER 40S NORTH TO THE
MIDDLE 50S SOUTH. THE DEVELOPING SOUTHERLY FLOW IS IN ADVANCE OF A
COLD FRONT FROM THE WEST, WHICH IS PROGGED TO TRACK ACROSS OUR
REGION SATURDAY NIGHT, BRINGING SOME STEADIER RAINFALL.
TEMPERATURES LOOK TO BE WARM ENOUGH ACROSS THE CWA THROUGH THIS
TIME FRAME FOR AN ALL RAIN EVENT, WITH THE SOUTHERLY FLOW OF MILDER
AIR INTO THE MID ATLANTIC.
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE LONG TERM, THERE ARE SOME
SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE GFS, ECMWF, AND OTHERS WITH POSSIBLE LOW
PRESSURE DEVELOPING OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES AND THEN TRACKING
NORTHEAST TO POTENTIALLY BRING MORE PRECIP TO THE REGION, BUT
TIMING DIFFERENCES ARE APPARENT. NO BIG CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE
FORECAST AT THIS EXTENDED TIME FRAME AS FUTURE MODEL RUNS SHOULD
GET A BETTER HANDLE ON THE DETAILS OF THIS SYSTEM. TEMPERATURES AT
THIS TIME FRAME LOOK TO REMAIN ABOVE AVERAGE.
&&
.AVIATION /14Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD WITH A MAINLY
CLEAR SKY.
A STRONG WESTERLY WIND IS ANTICIPATED TO RANGE AROUND 20 KNOTS
FOR TODAY WITH GUSTS INTO THE 30S. WIND SPEEDS ARE FORECAST TO
DIMINISH TO AROUND 10 KNOTS FOR TONIGHT AND WE SHOULD LOSE THE
GUSTS.
OUTLOOK...
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS.
THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...VFR LOWERING TO MVFR WITH AN EASTERLY
FLOW AND A FEW POSSIBLE SHWRS, ESPECIALLY FRIDAY.
FRIDAY NIGHT...CONDITIONS LOWERING TO IFR WITH RAIN POSSIBLE. FOR
NORTHWEST TERMINALS, KABE AND KRDG, A RAIN/SNOW MIX POSSIBLE.
SATURDAY...IFR CONDITIONS IN RAIN.
&&
.MARINE...
THE GALE WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR TODAY WITH A WEST
NORTHWEST WIND BLOWING AT 25 TO 35 KNOTS WITH GUSTS UP TO 40 OR 45
KNOTS. WIND SPEEDS ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH INTO THE SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY RANGE FOR TONIGHT AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES A BIT.
WE WILL KEEP THE FREEZING SPRAY ADVISORY IN EFFECT FOR TODAY AND
TONIGHT. WE ANTICIPATE THAT MODERATE FREEZING SPRAY WILL OCCUR,
ESPECIALLY FROM TODAY INTO EARLY TONIGHT. CONDITIONS MAY IMPROVE
LATE TONIGHT AS THE WIND SPEED CONTINUES TO DECREASE.
OUTLOOK...
WEDNESDAY...A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED INTO THE FIRST
PART OF WEDNESDAY AS THE WESTERLY FLOW GRADUALLY DIMINISHES, BUT
BY THE AFTERNOON, WINDS AND SEAS ARE ANTICIPATED TO FALL BELOW
ADVISORY LEVELS. THE THREAT OF FREEZING SPRAY WILL ALSO BE
DIMINISHING INTO WEDNESDAY.
THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...SUB-ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE
ANTICIPATED.
SATURDAY...SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW IS EXPECTED TO PICK UP OVER
THE REGION AND OUR AREA WATERS. WIND GUSTS AND SEAS MAY REACH
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
THE STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH WATER AWAY FROM
THE COAST DURING TODAY AND TONIGHT.
LOW WATER ISSUES ARE ANTICIPATED ON THE LOWER DELAWARE RIVER
AROUND THE MIDDAY LOW TIDE. A MORE WIDESPREAD LOW WATER PROBLEM IS
EXPECTED FOR TONIGHT'S LOW TIDE ON THE LOWER DELAWARE. A SPECIAL
WEATHER STATEMENT WAS ISSUED EARLY THIS MORNING TO ALERT MARINERS
TO THE HAZARD.
THE GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO INDICATE THAT THE LOW WATER WILL
APPROACH THE ADVISORY CRITERIA ALONG THE COAST AND ON DELAWARE
BAY, BUT LEVELS MAY NOT QUITE MAKE IT. THE LOW TIDE OF CONCERN IS
THIS EVENING'S, SO WE HAVE A LITTLE MORE TIME TO MONITOR THE
TRENDS AND MAKE A DECISION. A LOW WATER ADVISORY REMAINS POSSIBLE
FOR THIS EVENING ALONG THE NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE COASTS AND FOR
DELAWARE BAY.
