The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.
An approaching cold front triggered thunderstorms with heavy downpours across Delaware. Localized amounts reached around two inches and caused flash flooding during the late afternoon and evening of the 13th. In addition, the combination of the preceding onshore flow and spring tides associated with the full moon caused minor tidal flooding during the evening high tide cycle on the 13th. This was the third of four successive evenings with minor tidal flooding. The highest tide at Lewes (Sussex County) was 6.24 feet above mean lower low water on the evening of the 11th. Minor tidal flooding starts at 6.00 feet above mean lower low water.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 13, 2:58 PM EST, 1 hour 22 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
358 PM EDT FRI JUN 13 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL TRACK ACROSS OUR REGION TONIGHT, FOLLOWED BY HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES SATURDAY. THIS HIGH
PRESSURE WILL MOVE OFFSHORE LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY, ALLOWING
A WARM FRONT TO LIFT NORTH OF THE AREA MONDAY. A SLOW MOVING COLD
FRONT IS THEN FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES TO NORTHEAST
STATES MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY, WITH ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY
NEARING THE REGION INTO WEDNESDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
FFA CONTINUES THOUGH THE WORST MAY BE OVER NOW WEST OF THE PRIMARY
BAND NEARING I95 AT 345 PM.
SO THIS ONE BAND OF TSTMS NOW CROSSES NJ. IT MAY INTENSIFY AGAIN
BETWEEN NOW AND 5 PM.
OTHER STORMS TRYING TO DEVELOP VICINITY KSEG.
TONIGHT...ANOTHER LEFTOVER BAND OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS IN W PA WILL
CROSS THE AREA TONIGHT IN DIMINISHING MODE BUT WITH A LITTLE MORE
SPEED SHEAR. THOSE STORMS SHOULD BE ON THE WANE AFTER 03Z AND
MOSTLY OFF THE COAST AROUND 08Z.
PATCHY FOG POSSIBLE LATE AS IT CLEARS AND MIXING DOES NOT OCCUR
IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE COLD FRONT.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
AFTER ANY FOG/STRATUS BURNS OFF AROUND 12Z...A SUNNY START
SHIFTS TO CONSIDERABLE AFTERNOON SC WITH DAYTIME HEATING AND
CONSIDERABLE COOLING ALOFT AT 850 MB. NW WIND GUST 15-20 MPH.
REFRESHING!
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE SPREADING ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT AND
SUNDAY WILL ALLOW FOR PLEASANT CONDITIONS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF
THE WEEKEND, BUT RETURNING HUMIDITY AND UNSETTLED WEATHER IS
ANTICIPATED FOR NEXT WEEK. INTO SATURDAY NIGHT, HIGH PRESSURE WILL
ALLOW FOR MAINLY CLEAR SKIES, AND WITH A DRY AIRMASS IN PLACE,
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO FALL OFF INTO THE 50S ACROSS THE
REGION, WITH PERHAPS SOME UPPER 40S INTO THE SOUTHERN POCONOS.
SUNDAY LOOKS TO BE ANOTHER PLEASANT MID-JUNE DAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE
STRETCHING ACROSS THE REGION ALLOWING FOR MORE SUNSHINE AND
COMFORTABLE HUMIDITY LEVELS.
INTO LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY, HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO BE
EDGING EAST AND OFFSHORE, ALLOWING A WARM FRONT TO LIFT NORTH OF THE
REGION THROUGH MONDAY. THIS PATTERN WILL ALLOW FOR MORE MOISTURE
ADVECTION INTO OUR AREA THROUGH MIDWEEK, WITH A SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST
FLOW SETTING UP. ALSO FOR THE MIDWEEK PERIOD, A SLOW MOVING COLD
FRONT IS PROGGED TO APPROACH OUR REGION FROM THE WEST, PASSING
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND INTO THE NORTHEAST STATES THROUGH
TUESDAY. THEREAFTER, ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE NEARING THE
REGION INTO WEDNESDAY. ALSO THROUGH THIS PERIOD, THERE LOOKS TO BE
SHORTWAVE ENERGY ALOFT PASSING OVERHEAD, SUPPORTING THE CHANCES FOR
SOME SCATTERED SHOWER/TSTORM ACTIVITY EACH DAY. WHILE IT WILL NOT BE
A COMPLETE WASHOUT THROUGH THIS TIMEFRAME, WE HAVE KEPT MOSTLY
SLIGHT CHANCE TO LOW CHANCE POPS IN PLACE. INTO THURSDAY AND FRIDAY,
HIGH PRESSURE MAY BEGIN TO EDGE SOUTHWARD FROM CANADA, PROVIDING A
POSSIBLE DRYING TREND. THE GFS AND ECMWF DIFFER WITH THE TIMING AND
PLACEMENT OF THIS HIGH PRESSURE TO OUR NORTH, AND WE MOSTLY WENT
WITH WPC GUIDANCE THROUGH THIS TIMEFRAME, KEEPING SOME SLIGHT CHANCE
TO LOW CHANCE POPS INTO THE DAYTIME THURSDAY.
ANOTHER NOTICEABLE TREND FOR THE EARLY TO MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK WILL
BE ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES INTO THE UPPER 80S FOR MUCH OF THE
REGION, ESPECIALLY FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, WITH INCREASING
HUMIDITY AS FORECAST DEWPOINTS CLIMB BACK INTO THE UPPER 60S. WE
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS PERIOD, AS WE MAY ACHIEVE OUR FIRST 90
DEGREE READINGS ACROSS THE REGION, WITH SOME LOW 90S EXPECTED INTO
THE DELMARVA REGION.
