The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.

NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at May 22, 3:17 PM EST, 8 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ 417 PM EDT THU MAY 22 2014 .SYNOPSIS... A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION OVERNIGHT. AN UPPER AIR DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE AREA FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. A COLD FRONT WILL AFFECT THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC REGION NEXT TUESDAY. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/... A 19Z SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED A WARM FRONT NEAR THE PA/NJ BORDER AND EXTENDING SOUTH TO JUST EAST OF DELAWARE. MEANWHILE, A COLD FRONT EXTENDED FROM NORTH-CENTRAL PA/NEW YORK BORDER BACK TOWARD SOUTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY. SCATTERED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WERE DEVELOPING IN THE WARM SECTOR ACROSS PORTIONS OF OUR EASTERN PA COUNTIES AND NEAR ADJACENT PARTS OF FAR NORTHERN MARYLAND AND DELAWARE. RECENT LAPS DATA ACROSS THESE AREAS SHOWED LIFTED INDEX VALUES IN THE -4 TO -6 RANGE, WITH CAPE VALUES IN THE 1500 PLUS J/KG RANGE. THERE IS ALSO AMPLE BULK SHEAR NOTED IN THESE AREAS, HELPING TO PROMOTE SUSTAINED UPDRAFTS. WHILE CAPE AND LI VALUES ARE NOT QUITE AS IMPRESSIVE FARTHER EAST INTO PORTIONS OF NJ, THERE IS ENOUGH INSTABILITY PRESENT FOR SOME SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS INTO NEW JERSEY, ESPECIALLY CENTRAL TO SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE STATE. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH CONTINUES FOR OUR ENTIRE FORECAST AREA INTO THIS EVENING. CONVECTION SHOULD BEGIN TO WANE BETWEEN 00Z TO 02Z FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE CWA, WITH PERHAPS SOME LINGERING SHOWERS LASTING UP THROUGH AROUND MIDNIGHT OR SO AS THE COLD FRONT GRADUALLY TRACKS ACROSS THE REGION. ONCE THE FRONT PASSES THROUGH THE REGION, WINDS WILL BECOME MORE NORTHWESTERLY DURING THE OVERNIGHT AS DRIER AIR BEGINS TO FILTER IN ACROSS THE REGION. OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES WERE MAINLY A BLEND OF MET/MAV GUIDANCE, WITH LOWS MAINLY IN THE 50S ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/... GOING THROUGH THE DAYTIME FRIDAY, A MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE/VORT MAX IS FORECAST TO DROP SOUTHEAST ACROSS OUR REGION. WITH COLD AIR PRESENT ALOFT AND SUFFICIENT SURFACE HEATING INTO THE AFTERNOON, MORE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHWR/TSTM ACTIVITY IS ANTICIPATED. WE GRADUALLY STEP-UP POPS INTO THE AFTERNOON TO EARLY EVENING HOURS, WITH HIGHEST POPS ACROSS OUR NORTHERN ZONES. WE AGAIN TOOK A MET/MAV GUIDANCE BLEND WITH A FEW LOCAL ADJUSTMENTS FOR MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES AND EXPECT HIGHS TO RANGE FROM THE MID/UPPER 60S ACROSS OUR FAR NORTHERN ZONES TO THE LOWER/MID 70S ELSEWHERE. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... THERE WILL BE A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS AND SCT THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA FRI EVENING WHICH WILL SLOWLY SUBSIDE OVERNIGHT AS THE UPPER SYSTEM MOVES AWAY FROM THE AREA. THERE MAY BE SOME PATCHY FOG THAT WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION. LOW TEMPERATURES FRI NIGHT WILL BE MOSTLY IN THE 50S FOR OUR AREA. THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND LOOK GOOD FOR THE MOST PART. SUN AND MON LOOK DRY BUT SAT MAY FEATURE SOME SCT SHOWERS OR A TSTM DURING THE AFTERNOON. WE HAVE HELD THE POPS TO THE CHC CATEGORY. TEMPERATURES SAT WILL BE A BIT BELOW NORMAL WITH READINGS REACHING THE LOW/MID 70S. ON SUNDAY TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB INTO THE MID/UPPER 70S CLOSER TO NORMAL. READINGS WILL BE WARMER MON WITH LOW 80S IN MANY AREAS. A COLD FRONT WILL REACH THE AREA LATER TUESDAY AND INTO EARLY TUESDAY NIGHT. WE HAVE LEFT THE SLGT CHC/CHC POPS FOR NOW. TEMPS TUE/WED LOOK ABOVE NORMAL WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW/MID 80S IN MANY AREAS. && .AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS. LATE-DAY AND TONIGHT...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. HOWEVER, AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT WILL TRIGGER SOME SCATTERED SHWRS/TSTMS, AND A TEMPO GROUP WITH MVFR CONDITIONS IS INCLUDED IN THE TAFS REPRESENTING THE BEST TIMING OF ANY SCATTERED CONVECTION, MAINLY IN THE 20Z/21Z TIME-FRAME TO ABOUT 01Z FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE AREA. ANY LINGERING SCATTERED SHWR ACTIVITY SHOULD DIMINISH SOON THEREAFTER AS THE COLD FRONT TRACKS ACROSS THE REGION, PERHAPS LINGERING A BIT LONGER FOR THE NORTHERN TERMINALS. WITH REGARDS TO WINDS, LIGHT SOUTHERLY WINDS AT LATE-DAY WILL BECOME MORE SOUTHWESTERLY INTO THIS EVENING AND THEN NORTHWESTERLY FOLLOWING THE COLD FRONT PASSAGE, INCREASING TO AROUND 10 KNOTS. THE NORTHWEST WINDS AND INCOMING DRIER AIR BEHIND THE FRONT SHOULD HELP TO PRECLUDE PATCHY FOG FROM FORMING LATE IN ANY REMAINING RESIDUAL LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE, AND THIS WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE TAFS. FRIDAY...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS WITH NORTHWEST WINDS, GUSTING AT TIMES INTO THE 15 TO 20 KNOT RANGE. ISOLATED SHWRS/TSTMS WITH MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS ACCOMPANYING ANY ACTIVITY, ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTN TO EVE. OUTLOOK... FRI NIGHT...SCT SHOWERS ENDING BUT PSBL MVFR IN FOG OVERNIGHT. SAT..MOSTLY VFR. SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS WITH POORER CONDITIONS PSBL. SAT NIGHT THRU TUE...VFR. SCT TSTMS LATE TUE. && .MARINE... TONIGHT...WINDS AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS. WINDS MAY OCCASIONALLY GUST NEAR OR JUST ABOVE 20KT LATE TONIGHT INTO THE EARLY MORNING OF FRIDAY BEHIND A COLD FRONT. FRIDAY...SUB-SCA CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY INTO THE AFTERNOON TO EARLY EVENING. BRIEFLY HIGHER WINDS AND REDUCED VISIBILITIES ARE POSSIBLE IN ANY SHWR/TSTORM ACTIVITY. OUTLOOK... SUB-SCA EXPECTED FOR THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. SCT TSTMS SAT AND TUE MAY CREATE LOCALLY HIGHER WINDS AND SEAS. && .EQUIPMENT...
