The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.
A strong cold frontal passage brought strong winds into Delaware during the evening and overnight on the 4th. Peak wind gusts averaged around 50 mph and knocked down weak tree limbs, trees and wires and caused isolated power outages. Peak wind gusts included 52 mph in Middletown (New Castle County), 48 mph in Dover (Kent County), 46 mph at the Indian River Inlet (Sussex County), 44 mph in Lewes (Sussex County) and 43 mph at the New Castle County Airport.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
634 PM EST SUN JAN 4 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH THE SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY
TONIGHT AS ITS STRONG COLD FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH THIS EVENING. A HIGH
PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST ON MONDAY. AN ALBERTA
CLIPPER IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA ON TUESDAY. AN ARCTIC
HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BUILD INTO THE EASTERN SEABOARD WEDNESDAY
AND THURSDAY. A REINFORCING COLD FRONT SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THE
NORTHEAST ON FRIDAY. ANOTHER SLIGHTLY LESS INTENSE ARCTIC HIGH
PRESSURE SYSTEM SHOULD THEN RETURN FOR NEXT WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
THIS EVENING, A COLD FRONT WILL BE ADVANCING FROM WEST TO EAST
ACROSS THE OUR FORECAST AREA. WE STEADILY INCREASE POPS DURING
THIS TIME FRAME, AND WE ALSO HAVE INCLUDED A CHANCE FOR ISOLATED
THUNDER, MAINLY ACROSS SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PARTS OF THE CWA FOR A
FEW HOURS THIS EVENING WHERE SOME MARGINAL INSTABILITY IS
EXPECTED. ALONG AND BEHIND THE COLD FRONT, GUSTY WEST-SOUTHWEST TO
WESTERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED THIS EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT.
BUFKIT DATA INDICATES THAT THE STRONGEST WIND GUSTS ARE EXPECTED
ALONG THE COASTAL STRIP OF NEW JERSEY AND ALONG THE DELAWARE
BEACHES, WITH SOME 40 KT GUSTS POSSIBLE. WE HAVE RAISED A WIND
ADVISORY FOR THESE AREAS FROM 01Z TO 06Z TONIGHT.
FOLLOWING THE FRONTAL PASSAGE, SKIES ARE EXPECTED TO CLEAR FROM WEST
TO EAST FROM ABOUT MIDNIGHT ONWARD. THE ONLY EXCEPTION TO THIS MAY
BE IF A FEW LAKE EFFECT STREAMERS MAKE THEIR WAY INTO THE FAR
NORTHERN PART OF THE CWA LATE TONIGHT, MAINLY THE POCONOS. WE HAVE
INCLUDED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR AN ISOLATED SNOW SHOWER.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
GOING INTO MONDAY, THE ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL BE WELL OFF THE EAST
COAST. OTHER THAN A STRAY SNOW SHOWER ACROSS OUR FAR NORTHWEST
AREAS, A GENERALLY DRY, CLEAR, AND BLUSTERY DAY IS IN STORE.
WEST-NORTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE DAY, GUSTING AT TIMES
UPWARDS OF 30 TO 35 MPH. TEMPERATURES OVERALL ARE NOT EXPECTED TO
RISE TOO MUCH THROUGH THE DAY AS COLD AIR ADVECTION CONTINUES, AND
THERE WAS FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE MET AND MAV GUIDANCE. WE
EXPECTED MAX TEMPERATURES TO RANGE FROM THE MIDDLE 20S IN THE
POCONOS TO THE UPPER 30S ACROSS SOUTHERN NJ AND THE DELMARVA.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
COLD...COLDER...COLDEST WITH THE FIRST SNOW THREAT INTO THE COASTAL
PLAINS OF THE SEASON.
THE AMPLIFICATION OF THE PATTERN INITIATED BY THE REX BLOCK IN
THE BERING SEA WITH BRING THE COLDEST WEATHER OF THIS WINTER INTO
OUR CWA DURING AND WILL COME CLOSE TO THE ARCTIC SHOCKS OF LAST
JANUARY.
AS FAR AS THE CLIPPER GOES, WHILE THE PREDICTED 500MB TROF IS
WEAKER, THE MODELS ON THE 12Z RUN FLIPPED THE PCPN EMPHASIS
FARTHER SOUTH IN OUR CWA. THIS SEEMS TIED TO BETTER MID LEVEL WAA
AND THE LOCATION OF THE JET STREAK ALONG THE PCPN MAX AXIS. LATEST
PMDHMD PREFERENCE IS NON-UKMET WITH THIS PACKAGE AND WE ARE
DISCOUNTING ITS MOST ROBUST QPF OUTPUT. WE ARE CLOSEST TO A
GFS/ECMWF BLEND. WHILE THE COLD TEMPERATURES WILL MAKE IT EASY
FOR THE SNOW TO STICK, HIGHER RATIOS ARE STILL A FUNCTIONALITY OF
OMEGA AND SNOW GROWTH AREAS COINCIDING TO GET CLOSER OR EXCEED 20:1
RATIOS. WE ARE NOT FINDING ANY OF OUR CWA IN THE CROSS-HAIRS FOR
NOW. WE ALSO ARE NOT SEEING A DECREASE OF THETA E WITH HEIGHT AND
SO FAR THE PREDICTED FGEN IS LOOKING RATHER ORDINARY. FOR THIS
PACKAGE WE UPPED SNOWFALL AMOUNTS FARTHER SOUTH AND KEPT THE NORTH
CLOSE TO THE SAME, A RATHER RUN OF THE MILL (OPEN MOUTH, INSERT
FOOT) 1 TO 3 INCH CLIPPER FORECAST FROM AROUND THE MASON-DIXON
LINE EASTWARD AND NORTHWARD.
AFTER THAT, IT GETS COLD AND MIN TEMPS WILL GET FINE TUNED IN
UPCOMING DAYS BASED ON HOW MUCH SNOW DOES OR DOES NOT FALL.
THURSDAY MORNING SHOULD BE THE COLDEST WITH MANY MINIMUM
TEMPERATURES IN SINGLE FIGURES AND MOST WIND CHILL VALUES BELOW
ZERO, POSSIBLY REACHING WIND CHILL ADVISORY LEVELS. ANOTHER
CLIPPER SYSTEM PASSING TO OUR NORTH SHOULD SLOW THE RETURN TO
NORMAL TEMPERATURES LATER IN THE WEEK AND A TRANSITIONAL PCPN
PERIOD MIGHT OCCUR AS EARLY AS SUNDAY.
THE 500 MB INITIALIZATION WAS A BIT TOO LOW ON HEIGHTS, EVEN WITH
THE CLIPPER SYSTEM ABOUT TO COME ON SHORE IN BC. THIS TRANSLATED TO
850MB AND 925MB WHERE 1C COLD BIAS ERRORS WERE MOST COMMON IN THE
NEW COLD AIR MASS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FRONT IN THE MIDWEST.
AS FOR SPECIFICS:
SLIGHTLY FASTER MODEL TIMING WITH THE CLIPPER AND LESS SEPARATION
FROM PRESENT SYSTEM WHICH KEEPS ON SLOWING DOWN, PROBABLY WHY 500MB
PATTERN LOOKS LESS ROBUST. WE UPPED MONDAY NIGHT POPS SLIGHTLY
WESTERN PART OF OUR CWA TOWARD MORNING. MIN TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY
OCCUR EARLIER AT NIGHT BEFORE CLOUDS ROLL IN AND THEN THEY SHOULD
HOLD OR POSSIBLY RISE TOWARD MORNING. CONFIDENCE ABOUT MINS LESS
THAN USUAL.
ON TUESDAY PCPN SEEMS MORE TIED TO STRONGEST (PER SE) MID LEVEL WAA,
QVEC DVRG AND JET STREAK ALOFT ALONG WITH THE LEAD SHORT WAVE. SO
WHILE THE ACTUAL SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ARE NOT MUCH, THE QUICKER TIMING
AND GENERAL LOOK OF GETTING MOST OF THIS SNOW WITHIN A 6 HR WINDOW
IS LIKELY TO IMPACT THE MORNING COMMUTE, ESPECIALLY WESTERN PART OF
OUR CWA. THE SOUTHERN EXTENSION OF THE SNOW HAS HAD THE LOOK OF A
SHARP CUT-OFF FOR A WHILE AND WE EDGED THIS SOUTH OF THE PHL METRO
AREA TO ABOUT AN ELKTON-WILMINGTON-ACY LINE. LOWER DELMARVA STILL
LOOKS TOO SOUTH FOR ANY APPRECIABLE SNOW, PLUS SURFACE TEMPERATURES
WILL BE MORE BORDERLINE FOR STICKING ON ROADWAYS. BECAUSE THE ACTUAL
LOW (HIGHER THAN NORMAL SEA LEVEL PRESSURE) GETS SHREDDED BY THE
APPALACHIANS, A JUMP TO THE COAST HAS BEEN PREDICTED TO OCCUR TUESDAY
EVENING FOR A WHILE. PREDICTED INTENSIFICATION APPEARS TOO LATE FOR
US, SO AFTERNOON SNOW SHOULD BE LIGHTER DURING THIS PROCESS AND
ACCUMULATING SHOULD END FOR MOST (EXCEPT FAR NORTHEAST) BY SUNSET.
EXPECTING A LATER IN THE DAY HIGH TEMP, STILL BELOW FREEZING WHERE
1 TO 3 INCHES IS CURRENTLY PREDICTED.
THE ARCTIC SHOT IS COMING IN PIECES, SO MIN TEMPS TUESDAY NIGHT WILL
BE COLDER, BUT NOT AS COLD AS THE ENSUING NIGHTS. A DECOUPLING OF
WINDS IS POSSIBLE, WE MIGHT BE TOO HIGH IN OUTLYING AREAS.
A SECONDARY FRONT/TROF SHOULD MOVE THROUGH OUR CWA ON WEDNESDAY.
WIDELY SCATTERED TO SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS WILL ACCOMPANY THIS
FRONT. HIGHEST CONFIDENCE IS AGAIN FROM ABOUT MASON DIXON LINE/ACY
EXPRESSWAY NORTHWARD WHERE CONVECTIVE TEMPS SHOULD BE REACHED BASED
ON THE GFS AND WRF-NMMB SOUNDINGS. THAT NOT WITHSTANDING, ITS GOING
TO BE A WINDY DAY WITH PEAK GUSTS LIKELY REACHING 30 MPH INLAND AND
40 MPH AT THE COAST. MAX TEMPERATURES WILL STRUGGLE TO MOVE
FORWARD.
COLDEST NIGHT OF THE WINTER SEASON SO FAR ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WHILE
WINDS WILL START TO DECREASE, WIND CHILL FACTORS WILL LIKELY FALL
BELOW ZERO IN MOST LOCATIONS AND POSSIBLY REACH WIND CHILL ADVISORY
LEVELS, ESPECIALLY NORTH. MINIMUM TEMPERATURES SHOULD FALL A COUPLE
OF DEGREES SHORT OF DAILY RECORDS (GED AND RDG CLOSEST) AND ALSO
MINIMUM TEMPERATURES SET LAST JANUARY.
COLD SUNNY DAY ON THURSDAY WITH MAX TEMPERATURES NOT REACHING THE
20S NORTHWEST OF THE FALL LINE AND NOT MUCH HIGHER ALONG THE COASTAL
PLAIN. IF ANY CONSOLATION, A SLIGHTLY LESS WINDY DAY.
THURSDAY NIGHT, A WEAK WARM FRONT (ASSOCIATED WITH A CLIPPER LOW
THAT WILL BE MOVING THROUGH SOUTHEAST CANADA) WILL PASS THROUGH
THE REGION. DEEPEST MOISTURE OR BEST CHANCE FOR ANY SNOW SEEMS
CONFINED TO FAR NORTH. TEMPERATURES MIGHT HOLD MORE THAN WE ARE
FORECASTING IF THE GRADIENT TIGHTENS FURTHER. BUT WITH SNOW COVER
EXPECTED TO STILL BE AROUND, WE SHOULD A BIT OF A DIP.
FRIDAY, SLIGHTLY "WARMER", BUT ALSO WINDIER. SNOW FLURRIES
ASSOCIATED WITH THE CLIPPER'S COLD FRONT IS CONFINED TO OUR FAR
NORTHWEST CWA.
OVER THE WEEKEND, THE NEXT ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM IS PREDICTED
TO MOVE EASTWARD. THE ARCTIC SOURCE, THE STRENGTH OF THE HIGH ITSELF
AND ITS ROUNDABOUT ROUTE WILL PRODUCE BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES, BUT
NOT AS COLD AS THE WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY SHOCK. THE MODELS ARE
DEVELOPING AN INVERTED TROF ALONG THE COAST AND ANOTHER WEAK LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM LATE ON SUNDAY. FOR NOW WE WILL START SUNDAY WITH
LOW CHANCE POPS WHICH AT THE VERY LEAST WOULD START AS SNOW.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.
THE COLD FRONT IS ABOUT TO ENTER THE WESTERN ZONES/TAF SITES AS OF
2330Z. VFR CONDITIONS ARE AT MOST TAF SITES PRESENTLY...EXCEPT
KABE/KRDG WHERE LOWER CONDITIONS PREVAIL. THE FRONT WILL SWEEP BY
OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS WITH LOWER CONDITIONS IN SHOWERS
POSSIBLE. WE HAVE INCLUDED 2 HR TEMPO GROUPS WIT THE LATEST TAFS
TO COVER ANY LOWER CONDITIONS IN THE SHOWERS. FOLLOWING THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE, SKIES ARE EXPECTED TO CLEAR RATHER QUICKLY,
AROUND 03Z OR SO. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO WEST AND INCREASE TO 10 TO
20 KNOTS WITH GUSTS UP TO 25 OR MAYBE 30 KNOTS FOR AWHILE
OVERNIGHT.
MONDAY...VFR CONDITIONS. GUSTS WEST-NORTHWEST WIND, GUSTING 30 TO 35
KNOTS AT TIMES.
OUTLOOK...
MONDAY NIGHT...VFR. BECOMING MVFR LATE WEST.
TUESDAY...A PERIOD OF SNOW WILL LIKELY IMPACT THE TERMINALS
DURING THE DAY. IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE IN STEADIER SNOW. LOWEST
CHANCE IN LOWER DELMARVA AIRPORTS.
TUESDAY NIGHT...VFR AND LIGHT WINDS.
WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...BRISK W-NW WINDS REDEVELOP. GUSTS
25-35 KT POSSIBLE. ISOLATED/LOCALIZED FLURRY OR SNOW SHOWER
POSSIBLE.
THURSDAY NIGHT...WINDS RELAX THRUOUT THE DAY AND CONTINUE AT NIGHT. VFR.
FRIDAY...MAINLY VFR. GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS AGAIN LIKELY EXCEEDING 20
KNOTS.
&&
.MARINE...
SCA FLAG DROPPED AND GALES IN EFFECT FOR THE COASTAL ZONES AND
LOWER DEL BAY. SCA FLAG STILL UP FOR THE UPPER DEL BAY.
A STRONG COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL CROSS THE WATERS EARLY
TONIGHT AND GALE FORCE GUSTS WILL DEVELOP AND THEN LIKELY
CONTINUE FOR THE COASTAL WATERS THROUGH A MOST OF MONDAY, WITH
GOOD MOMENTUM TRANSFER EXPECTED. FOR THE LOWER DELAWARE BAY, WE
MAINLY EXPECT THE GALE FOR GUSTS FOR FOLLOW THE FRONTAL PASSAGE
INTO THE EARLY OVERNIGHT, WITH STRONG SCA CONDITIONS THEREAFTER
INTO MONDAY.
OUTLOOK...
MONDAY NIGHT...WINDS WILL SUBSIDE IN THE EVENING BUT SEAS WILL STILL
BE NEAR 5 FT AND GUSTS AROUND 25 KT. A SCA WILL THUS BE REQUIRED
AFTER THE GALE WARNING HEADLINE IS DROPPED.
TUESDAY...NO HAZARDS EXPECTED ON THE MARINE.
TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WINDS WILL INCREASE
INITIALLY OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST TUESDAY EVENING AND THEN NORTHWEST
LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. SCA CONDITIONS WOULD BE FAVORED
FOR TUESDAY NIGHT AND POTENTIALLY GALES ON WEDNESDAY/WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
THERE ALSO MIGHT BE SOME FREEZING SPRAY ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS WILL GRADUALLY
DIMINISH TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA. THERE MAY BE A BRIEF
PERIOD OF SUB SCA ADVISORY CONDITIONS BEFORE WINDS INCREASE AGAIN
LATER THURSDAY NIGHT.
FRIDAY...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS, POSSIBLY GALES AGAIN.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
A STRONG NORTHWEST FLOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP POST-FRONTAL PASSAGE
SUNDAY NIGHT...THEN CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY. CURRENT ET-SURGE
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS BLOWOUT TIDE CONDITIONS COULD OCCUR AT THE TIMES
OF LOW TIDE MONDAY AFTERNOON. THE MAGNITUDE OF THESE BLOWOUT
TIDES WILL DEPEND ON WIND SPEED, DIRECTION...AND DURATION. MARINE
INTERESTS ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST...DELAWARE BAY...TIDAL DELAWARE
RIVER...CHESAPEAKE BAY...AND RARITAN BAY SHOULD KEEP ABREAST OF
FORECAST WEATHER CONDITIONS OVER THE NEXT TWO DAYS AND BE READY TO
TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION SHOULD BLOW OUT TIDES DEVELOP. WE WILL
CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE SITUATION AND ISSUE APPROPRIATE STATEMENTS
AS NECESSARY.
ANOTHER FRONTAL PASSAGE COULD PRODUCE A SECOND ROUND OF BLOWOUT
TIDES WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.
