What happened

The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.

A weakening line of thunderstorms moved across the Delaware River into New Jersey during the late evening and overnight on the 27th. While most of the storms were weakening, one thunderstorm became severe and caused wind damage in Burlington County. In addition, lightning caused about 10,000 homes and businesses to lose power and ignited a shed fire in Southampton Township (Burlington County).

What forecasters said that day

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 27, 6:02 PM EST, 3 hours 53 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 27, 6:02 PM EST, 3 hours 53 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
702 PM EDT SUN JUL 27 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE OUT OF PENNSYLVANIA TONIGHT AND
LIFT INTO NEW ENGLAND MONDAY, PULLING A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN MOVING INTO THE AREA LATER TUESDAY, AND
REMAIN IN CONTROL OF THE WEATHER FOR THROUGH THE END OF THE UPCOMING
WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR MUCH OF ERN
PENNSYLVANIA AND NW NJ THRU 200 AM. THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA AND
DELAWARE COUNTY ARE NOT IN THE WATCH. PUBLIC PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN
UPDATED.

TSTMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS CENTRAL PA WHILE OTHER HAVE MOVED INTO
WRN PA FROM OHIO. MUCH OF THE WRN AREAS WILL LIKELY BEGIN TO SEE
SOME CONVECTION SHORTLY. THE TSTMS WILL HAVE A GOOD AIRMASS O
FEED OFF WHILE THEY MOVE EAST. IMPROVING WINDS FIELDS WILL HELP
ORGANIZATION LATER ON. HOW FAR EAST THE TSTMS GO REMAINS A
QUESTION ATTM.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
SHORT WAVES ROTATING AROUND THE ANOMALOUS STRONG 500MB TROF WILL
PASS ACROSS OUR CWA ON MONDAY. CONVECTIVE TEMPS (SELF DESTRUCT
SUNSHINE) WILL BE REACHED EASY AND EARLY. THE OVERALL FCST CAPE AND
INSTAB ALOFT ON THE BIG THREE MODELS ARE NOT UNSTABLE ENOUGH FOR
THUNDER. OTHER THAN SOME EARLY THUNDER NORTHEAST CWA, WE KEPT IT AS
SHOWERS WITH HIGHEST POPS NORTHWEST THE REST OF THE DAY.

STAT GUIDANCE FOR MAX TEMPS APPEARS TOO HIGH IN THE SERN CWA UNLESS
THE COLD FRONT IS 2-4HRS SLOWER THAN PROGGED. WE WERE LOWER THAN GFS
MOS THERE AND CLOSE TO A STAT GUIDANCE BLEND ELSEWHERE.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A MOSTLY DRY START TO THE LONG TERM FORECAST, WITH PRECIPITATION
CHANCES INCREASING LATER IN THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND.

THERE MAY BE SOME LINGERING SHOWERS MONDAY EVENING AS THE FRONT
CONTINUES TO PUSH OFFSHORE AND THE MID-LEVEL TROUGH LIFTS OUT, BUT
ANY PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO END BY MIDNIGHT.

MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WEEK IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN MOSTLY DRY AS PW
VALUES DROP TO AN INCH OR LOWER FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, BUT MAY
RETURN TO 1-1.25 INCHES FOR THURSDAY AND NEAR 1.5 INCHES FOR FRIDAY.
HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE REGION, WHILE THE
BROAD MID/UPPER TROUGH REMAINS IN PLACE ACROSS MUCH OF THE EASTERN
HALF OF THE COUNTRY. THERE AREA NO SIGNIFICANT SHORT WAVE/VORTICITY
IMPULSES THAT ARE FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK, BUT
WITH THE TROUGH IN PLACE AND DAYTIME HEATING, THERE COULD BE ENOUGH
DAYTIME INSTABILITY TO CREATE ISOLATED SHOWERS OR THUNDERSHOWERS FOR
THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK. EACH DAY THE CHANCES INCREASE SLIGHTLY
AND EXPAND IN COVERAGE. HOWEVER, WE DO NOT HAVE MORE THAN A SLIGHT
CHANCE PROBABILITY THROUGH FRIDAY AT THIS TIME.

AS WE MOVE INTO NEXT WEEKEND, WE GET A MORE SOLID RETURN OF MOISTURE
ACROSS THE AREA AS PW VALUES REBOUND O 1.25-1.5 INCHES. WE ALSO HAVE
A BETTER CHANCE OF VORTICITY IMPULSES AFFECTING OUR AREA WITHIN THE
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT, AND WITH THE COASTAL FRONT TRYING TO PUSH BACK
CLOSER TO SHOWER, WE MAY HAVE A FOCUS FOR PRECIPITATION TO FORM.
THEREFORE THE PRECIPITATION CHANCES INCREASE INTO NEXT WEEKEND.

TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE EXTENDED ARE FORECAST TO BE CLOSE TO OR
SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

THIS EVENING, EXPECTING A LINE OF STRONG TSTMS TO MOVE THROUGH THE
AREA. HIGHEST CONFID AT KABE AND KRDG. LOWEST AT KMIV AND KACY. A
EARLY TIMING HEDGE WAS MAINTAINED (MOST LIKELY TIME IS TOWARD THE
MIDDLE OF THE TEMPO GROUP).  MVFR TO BRIEFLY IFR (BECAUSE OF
BREVITY NOT INCLUDED) CONDITIONS LIKELY ALONG WITH GUSTY WEST
WINDS.

OVERNIGHT PREVAILING MVFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE DURING
SHOWERS. ISOLATED THUNDER POSSIBLE, BUT CONFIDENCE TOO LOW AS TO
WHERE OR WHEN TO INCLUDE. WINDS WILL BE LIGHTER, GENERALLY FROM
THE SOUTH. IMPROVEMENT TOWARD MORNING AS PCPN ENDS. THINKING TOO
MUCH WIND FOR SGFCNT FOG TO FORM.

MONDAY MORNING, VFR CONDITIONS WITH A CUMULUS BASED CIG OCCURRING.
GUSTY WEST WINDS, ESPECIALLY FOR JULY, WITH SUSTAINED SPEEDS
AROUND 15 KTS AND GUSTS TO AROUND 25 KTS. SOME WIDELY SCATTERED
SHOWERS SHOULD START DEVELOPING TOWARD THE END OF THE CURRENT TAF
FCST PERIOD. GREATEST CONFIDENCE NORTH, REASON FOR NOW LEFT OUT OF
KPHL TAF.

OUTLOOK...
MONDAY NIGHT-WEDNESDAY NIGHT...MAINLY VFR
THURSDAY-FRIDAY...MAINLY VFR. ISOLATED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS
POSSIBLE BOTH AFTERNOONS, ESPECIALLY FRIDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED FOR TONIGHT AND MONDAY FOR THE
OCEAN WATERS. ONE WILL BE ISSUED FOR DELAWARE BAY FOR MONDAY. FIRST
FOR THE LIKELIHOOD THAT SEAS REACH 5 FEET THIS EVENING AND THEN THE
LIKELIHOOD OF NON CONVECTIVE WEST WIND GUSTS REACHING THE CRITERIA
ON DELAWARE BAY AS WELL AS THE OCEAN WATERS DURING THE DAY ON
MONDAY. WAVE WATCH GUIDANCE BRINGS SIX FOOT SEAS AS IS INTO OUR
COASTAL WATERS, SHAVING A FOOT OR SO OFF WOULD STILL GET US THERE
TONIGHT. TOUGH NIGHT AS IT IS WITH THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED. ON MONDAY
MORE OF THE GUSTINESS MAY BE CONCENTRATED AROUND THE INLETS AND IN
DELAWARE BAY WITH POSSIBLY LESS GUSTINESS FARTHER OFFSHORE. THE
GRADIENT AND WINDS SHOULD START RELAXING LATER IN THE DAY ON MONDAY.

OUTLOOK...
MONDAY NIGHT-FRIDAY...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS POSSIBLE EARLY
MONDAY NIGHT, SUBSIDING AND REMAINING BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS THROUGH
THE PERIOD.
