The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.
Thunderstorms with additional heavy rain for the third consecutive day coupled with wet antecedent conditions to cause additional flash flooding across central and southern New Jersey on the 15th. Runoff flooding then persisted along parts of the Millstone River in Somerset County into the 17th. Dopper Radar storm total estimates reached between 2 and 4 inches in sections of Salem County northeast into parts of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. The thunderstorms were caused by a slow moving cold front that cleared the New Jersey coast around 7 a.m. EDT on the 16th. This put an end to a couple of days of thunderstorms with heavy downpours affecting the state.
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 Jul 15, 12:52 PM EST, 1 hour 8 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
152 PM EDT TUE JUL 15 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT OVER WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA WILL SLOWLY MOVE EAST AND
PASS THROUGH OUR FORECAST AREA AND INTO THE ATLANTIC DURING THE
FIRST HALF OF THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY. A HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM IN THE
NORTHERN PLAINS WILL THEN BUILD EAST, REACH THE REGION ON FRIDAY AND
THEN DRIFT INTO NEW ENGLAND ON SATURDAY. A WARM FRONT IS THEN
PREDICTED TO LIFT SLOWLY NORTHEAST, ARRIVE AND THEN STALL OVER THE
AREA ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE CWA
THROUGH 900 PM.
ANOTHER ACTIVE DAY SHAPING UP WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF SVR TSTMS AND
MORE FLASH FLOODING EXPECTED TODAY. THE SPC HAS PLACED THE ENTIRE
REGION FOR SLGT CHC FOR SVR TODAY AND TONIGHT. THE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH WILL CONTINUE AS PREVIOUSLY ISSUED,
THE MORNING UPDATE ALLOWED FOR SOME TEMPERATURES INCREASES FOR THE
MAXS TODAY WITH AREAS ACROSS THE DELMARVA AND SRN NJ BREAKING OUT
OF THE THICKEST CLOUD COVER ALREADY. POPS WERE ADJUSTED...BUT THE
OVERALL TRENDS FOR THE AFTERNOON WERE KEPT IN THE CATEGORICAL
RANGE FOR ALL AREAS. SPS ISSUED TO HIGHLIGHT THE POTENTIAL
HAZARDOUS THREATS LATER TODAY/TONIGHT.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM WEDNESDAY/...
WE EXPECT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO BE ONGOING THIS EVENING AHEAD
OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO
PUSH THROUGH THE AREA THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND APPROACH THE
COAST BY DAYBREAK WEDNESDAY. THE STRONGEST CONVECTION WILL LIKELY
MOVE THROUGH THE AREA EARLY IN THE EVENING AND WEAKEN IN SEVERITY AS
INSTABILITY WANES. HOWEVER, PW VALUES DO NOT DROP UNTIL THE FRONT
ACTUALLY PASSES, SO THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE THREAT FOR HEAVY
RAINFALL THROUGH THE NIGHT. THEREFORE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BE
EXTENDED THROUGH 6 AM WEDNESDAY. PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL BEGIN TO
LOWER BEHIND THE FRONT, SO POPS WERE LOWERED FROM WEST TO EAST
THROUGH THE NIGHT.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
GFS INITIALIZATION LOOKED SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN THE WRF-NMMB AT MOST
LEVELS.
US MODELS CONTINUE TO LAG BEHIND OTHER MODELS WITH LINGERING
PCPN INTO WEDNESDAY. ON THE OTHER END OF THE SPECTRUM, THE CANADIAN
MODELS DONT HAVE MUCH PCPN AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. GIVEN THE INITIAL
TRULY CONVECTIVE NATURE OF THE EVENT WE ARE GOING TO SIDE WITH A
TIMING THAT IS CLOSELY CLUSTERED TO THE MESOSCALE MODELS (WHO ARE
ALL VERY CLOSE). THUS AFTER 12Z WEDNESDAY MAINLAND POPS WERE KEPT AS
CHANCE AND THE OVERALL EXIT OF CHANCES TOWARD A CONSENSUS. THUNDER
CHANCES ARE PRETTY CLOSE TO SPC'S DAY2 AS ALL GUIDANCE WEAKENS THAT
ASPECT (WHILE INCREASING MID LEVEL QVEC CONVERGENCE) AS TONIGHT
CONTINUES. MAX TEMPS BANKING ON SOME AFTERNOON SUN TO GET US THERE.
GENERALLY CLOSER TO LOWER NAM MOS.
THEN OUR CWA WILL GET A WELL DESERVED RESPITE FROM THE STORMS OF THE
LAST COUPLE OF DAYS AS MUCH DRIER AIR WORKS ITS WAY INTO THE REGION.
AWAY FROM URBAN AREAS, MIN TEMPS CLOSER TO LOWER STAT GUIDANCE WITH
LIGHT WINDS EXPECTED.
CONVECTIVE TEMP SHOULD BE REACHED ON THURSDAY, BUT FORECAST
SOUNDINGS FOR NOW ARE CAPPED. MAX TEMPS SLIGHTLY BELOW STAT
GUIDANCE AS PREDICTED SUB 14C 850 TEMPS/SUB 20C 925 TEMPS WOULD
MAKE IT HARD TO REACH THE HIGHER PREDICTED STAT VALUES. WOULD
THINK SOME OF THE SUN'S ENERGY SHOULD ALSO BE SAPPED EVAPORATING
ALL OF OUR STANDING WATER.
THE FLOW ALOFT BECOMES MORE ZONAL THURSDAY NIGHT (ANOTHER GOOD
RADIATOR) WITH A SLIGHTLY WARMER AIR MASS RECOVERY ON FRIDAY.
FRONT TOO FAR SOUTH, SO WE REMOVED POPS.
BEYOND FRIDAY DAY WE DID NOT CHANGE THE LONG TERM MUCH. IT APPEARS
OUR RECENT RUN OF DRY WEATHER WEEKENDS COULD TAKE EVEN A HARDER HIT
THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND. THE COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL STALL AND
START WORKING ITS WAY NORTH. HERE THE MODELS AGREE. BEYOND THAT
SCENARIO, THERE IS DISAGREEMENT AS TO THE LOCATION OF THE
STALLING (AND FOCUS FOR PRECIPITATION) FRONT. WE ARE CLOSE TO WPC
POSITIONING IN OUR CWA WHICH MAINTAINS POPS FOR THE REST OF THE
LONG TERM ALONG WITH THE RETURN OF MORE HUMID CONDITIONS.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.
ABUNDANT LOW CLOUDS ARE STUBBORN TO MIX OUT THIS MORNING. IFR/MVFR
LINGERING EVEN IN AREAS WHERE SATELLITE SHOWING SIG BREAKS NEARBY.
IT WILL PROBABLY TAKE INTO THE LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON FOR
VFR TO RETURN TO MOST AREAS. VRY LIGHT WINDS AT THE SFC NOT
HELPING MATTERS. SCT SHOWERS ACROSS CNTRL PA WILL MOVE NE OF METRO
PHL NEXT FEW HOURS.
VFR CONDITIONS WILL RETURN TO THE TAF SITES UNTIL THEY ARE
AFFECTED BY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. ANOTHER ROUND OF
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED AGAIN TODAY, WHICH WILL LOWER
CIGS/VSBYS WHEN THE PASS AND COULD ALSO CREATE LOCALLY
STRONG/GUSTY WINDS.
A COLD FRONT WILL PASS ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT, WHICH SHOULD ALLOW
CLOUDS TO BEGIN TO CLEAR OUT FROM WEST TO EAST. AS THIS HAPPENS,
AREAS OF FOG COULD DEVELOP WHERE CLEARING TAKES PLACE.
WINDS TODAY WILL BE MOSTLY SOUTH-SOUTHWEST, AND COULD BECOME GUSTY
TODAY 15-18 KNOTS. WIND DIRECTIONS COULD CHANGE DRASTICALLY WHEN TAF
SITES ARE AFFECTED BY THUNDERSTORMS AND/OR OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES. ONCE
THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH OVERNIGHT, WIND WILL SWITCH TO NORTHWEST
BEHIND THE FRONT.
OUTLOOK...
WEDNESDAY...BECOMING VFR. MOST OF THE SUB VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD BE
AT EASTERN TERMINALS AND AIRPORTS.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...PREDOMINATELY VFR.
FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...GENERALLY VFR. A CHANCE FOR TSRA ACROSS
THE REGION.
&&
.MARINE...
SCA FLAG RAISED FOR THE OCEAN WATERS AS OF 100 PM.
NUMEROUS TSTMS WITH POTENTIAL FOR STRONG WINDS LATER THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. NOT A GOOD DAY TO BE OUT IN SMALL
CRAFT OR IF YOU HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT YOUR ABILITIES. SMW'S LIKELY
ACROSS THE WATERS. STRONG WINDS AND DANGEROUS LIGHTING WILL ONCE
AGAIN BE A THREAT WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS. LOCALLY HIGHER WINDS AND
SEAS ARE POSSIBLE IN AND NEAR THUNDERSTORMS.
OUTLOOK...
WEDNESDAY...SEAS MIGHT STILL BE AT OR ABOVE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
CRITERIA ON THE OCEAN TO START. GUIDANCE HAS BEEN RUNNING HIGH,
SO WE WILL HOLD OFF ON EXTENDING IT FURTHER UNTIL WE ARE MORE
CONFIDENT.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...NO MARINE HEADLINES ARE
ANTICIPATED.
