A nearly stationary frontal boundary and a low pressure system moving along it combined to develop thunderstorms that produced damaging wind gusts, large hail and some flash flooding mainly across the northern half of Delaware during the late afternoon and evening of June 1st. As both the low pressure system and frontal boundary sagged southeast, the severe and heavy rain threat ceased.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
347 PM EDT MON JUN 1 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT OVER SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST
PENNSYLVANIA THIS AFTERNOON WILL SLOWLY PROGRESS SOUTHWARD THROUGH
TUESDAY BEFORE STALLING TO OUR SOUTH TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE END
OF THE WEEK. MEANWHILE, HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTH
MIDWEEK BEFORE MOVING OFFSHORE LATE IN THE WEEK. ONSHORE FLOW
BETWEEN THE FRONT TO OUR SOUTH AND HIGH PRESSURE TO OUR NORTH WILL
LEAD TO COOL AND CLOUDY CONDITIONS FOR MUCH OF THIS WEEK. A COLD
FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION EARLY THIS
WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY HAS BEEN MEANDERING ACROSS THE REGION TODAY,
CREATING QUITE A TEMPERATURE CONTRAST. LOCATIONS SOUTH OF THE
BOUNDARY HAVE HAD A SUMMER LIKE DAY WITH TEMPERATURES WELL INTO
INTO THE 80'S AND SUNNY SKIES. NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY TEMPERATURES
HAVE STRUGGLED TO GET INTO THE 60'S WITH LOW THICK CLOUDS IN
PLACE. CURRENTLY WE ARE SEEING CLUSTERS OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS FORMING ALONG THE THE FRONT AND IN THE REGIONS WITH
THE STRONGEST TEMPERATURE GRADIENTS. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD CONTINUE
TO RAMP-UP. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT AS PW VALUES
CONTINUE TO BE VERY HIGH COUPLED WITH THE POTENTIAL OF TRAINING
THUNDERSTORMS. WRF, HRRR AND RAP RUNS CONTINUE TO FOCUS THE
HIGHEST RAINFALL TOTALS ACROSS SOUTHERN NJ AND SOUTHEAST PA.
HOWEVER THE POTENTIAL DOES EXIST FOR LOCATIONS JUST TO THE NORTH
TO SEE HEAVY RAIN WHERE IT OCCURRED YESTERDAY AND FOR SOME
BACKBUILDING OF STORMS INTO THE DELMARVA AS WELL. THE CURRENT
FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL RUN THROUGH THE NIGHT. RAINFALL TOTALS OF
AN INCH OR TWO, WITH SOME LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED. DUE
TO THE CLOUDS IN PLACE TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY NOT FALL MUCH
TONIGHT AS THE FRONT WILL BE SLOW TO MOVE SOUTH.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
THE FRONT WILL TRANSITION SOUTH OF THE REGION ON TUESDAY, LEAVING
THE REGION WITH A STIFF ONSHORE EASTERLY FLOW AND THICK CLOUDS.
TEMPERATURES MAY ACTUALLY FALL THROUGH THE DAY, PARTICULARLY IF
MODELED TWO METER TEMPERATURES HAVE A CORRECT HANDLE OF THE
TRENDS. LIGHTER SHOWERS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE WITH SOME QPF UNDER
1/2 INCH. FOR NOW GIVEN THE LOWER TRENDS IN THE MET/MAV THE LAST
SEVERAL CYCLES WILL GO A TOUCH LOWER WITH DAYTIME TEMPERATURES ON
TUESDAY THAN THOSE GUIDANCE SETS.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL GRADUALLY PUSH SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA
TUESDAY EVENING BEFORE STALLING NEAR THE VA-NC BORDER AND THE
SOUTHERN TIP OF THE DELMARVA LATE TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MIDWEEK.
MEANWHILE, HIGH PRESSURE OVER EASTERN CANADA/NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND
WILL NOSE SOUTHWARD, WHICH WILL REINFORCE THE ONSHORE FLOW IN THE
NORTHERN MID-ATLANTIC REGION. THE FORECAST AREA WILL RESIDE IN A
RELATIVELY COOL, STABLE AIRMASS DUE TO PERSISTENT ONSHORE FLOW TO
THE NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY. LOW CHANCES FOR SHOWERS WERE ADDED TO THE
FORECAST FOR THE SOUTHERN HALF OF CWA FOR MUCH OF THE MIDWEEK, AS
THIS AREA IS FORECAST BE POSITIONED CLOSER TO THE MID- AND UPPER-
LEVEL DEFORMATION ZONE DOWNSTREAM OF A CUTOFF LOW OVER THE SOUTHERN
APPALACHIANS AND JUST UPSTREAM OF A SHORTWAVE RIDGE OVER SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND. CHANCES/COVERAGE OF SHOWERS WILL BE MUCH LOWER THAN
YESTERDAY AND TODAY.
ONSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE LATE IN THE WEEK BUT WEAKEN AS HIGH
PRESSURE MOVES OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST. THE AIRMASS WILL MODERATE
A BIT ACCORDINGLY, WITH NEAR NORMAL TEMPS RETURNING BY FRIDAY. LOW
CHANCES FOR SHOWERS EXPAND NORTHWARD TOWARD THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS IN
NORTHEAST PA ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY STILL
STALLED TO OUR SOUTH AND EAST AND NOT MUCH INSTABILITY FORECAST OVER
OUR AREA, KEPT THUNDERSTORMS OUT OF THE FORECAST AREA.
A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH FROM THE NORTH FRIDAY. TODAY'S
12Z MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SHOW THE PROGRESSION OF THIS
BOUNDARY SLOWING DOWN AS IT PUSHES THROUGH OUR AREA FRIDAY NIGHT
AND SATURDAY MORNING DUE TO WEAKER STEERING FLOW ALOFT THIS FAR
SOUTH. SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED WITH THE FROPA. EASTERLY LOW-
LEVEL IS THEN FORECAST TO DEVELOP LATER ON SATURDAY IN RESPONSE TO
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO SOUTHEASTERN CANADA. THE BOUNDARY SHOULD
BASICALLY WASH OUT ONCE THE ONSHORE FLOW TAKES OVER.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.
FOR RDG, ABE AND TTN... MAINLY IFR THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING,
FOLLOWED BY POTENTIAL IMPROVEMENT TO MVFR TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
PERIODS OF SHOWERS THROUGH TONIGHT BECOMING MORE SCATTERED DURING
THE DAY TUESDAY. REDUCED VISIBILITIES TO BETWEEN THREE AND FIVE
MILES AS WELL. NORTHEAST WINDS GENERALLY AT OR UNDER 10 KNOTS.
FOR ILG,ACY, MIV,PNE AND PHL...CLUSTERS OF SHOWERS AND STORMS
WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THROUGH THE LATE IN THE AFTERNOON WITH
THE HIGHEST CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH 22Z. SHOWERS WILL
LIKELY CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT AND INTO TUESDAY. CEILINGS WILL BE
MAINLY VFR OUTSIDE OF THE STORMS BUT DROP QUICKLY TO MVFR AND IFR
IN SHOWERS AND STORMS. WINDS OUT OF THE EAST TO SOUTHEAST
GENERALLY AT OR UNDER 10 KNOTS SHIFTING TO NORTHEAST TONIGHT.
CEILINGS LOWERING TO MVFR AND IFR THIS EVENING CONTINUING INTO
TUESDAY.
OUTLOOK...
TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...MARINE LAYER WILL BE ESTABLISHED
WITH PERSISTENT EAST TO NORTHEAST FLOW THROUGH MOST OF THE PERIOD.
THIS WILL LEAD TO PERIODS OF LOW CLOUDS AND MVFR/IFR CIGS,
ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT AND MORNING. LOW CLOUDS WILL LIKELY BE MORE
DIFFICULT TO MIX OUT AT ACY AND OTHER LOCATIONS NEAR THE COAST.
CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW SHOWERS EACH DAY BUT A CHANCES FOR SHOWERS MAY
BE ENHANCED SLIGHTLY LATE FRIDAY-EARLY SATURDAY WHEN A COLD FRONT
PASSES THROUGH.
&&
.MARINE...
CONTINUING WITH THE SCA FOR THE NORTHERN COASTAL WATERS AS SEAS
HAVE BEEN CONSISTENCY AROUND FIVE FEET WITH THE ONSHORE EASTERLY
FLOW. WAVEWATCH MAY BE ABOUT A FOOT LOW OVERALL THROUGH THE DAY
TUESDAY. CONFIDENCE IS HIGH ENOUGH TO EXTEND THE SCA WITH SEAS
AROUND FIVE FEET IN THE NORTHERN COASTAL WATERS TILL 10Z TUESDAY.
IT IS POSSIBLE THE SCA MAY NEED TO BE EXTENDED EVEN LONGER. SEAS
WILL REMAIN BELOW FIVE FEET ACROSS THE SOUTHERN WATERS. EASTERLY
WIND GUSTS AROUND 20 KNOTS POSSIBLE WITH THE HIGHEST GUSTS THIS
EVENING AND TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
OUTLOOK...
TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...EAST TO NORTHEAST FLOW WILL PERSIST
DURING THE MIDWEEK. WINDS WILL BE 15-20 KT BUT WITHOUT UNFAVORABLE
MIXING PROFILES, CAPPED WIND GUSTS TO UNDER 25 KT. LATEST WAVEWATCH
GUIDANCE SHOWS SEAS INCREASING TO 4-5 FT IN OUR COASTAL ATLANTIC
WATERS TUESDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUING THROUGH THURSDAY. OPTED TO HOLD
OFF ON A THIRD/FOURTH PERIOD SCA HEADLINE DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY OF
REACHING CRITERIA IN THIS MARGINAL SETUP.
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...WINDS AND SEAS WILL BE BELOW
SCA THRESHOLD.
SATURDAY...ONSHORE FLOW STRENGTHENS. SEAS MAY BUILD TO ABOVE 5 FT
DURING THE WEEKEND IN RESPONSE TO A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
TRACKING WELL TO OUR EAST.

MEOLAThe Dover AFB radar (KDOX), 101 km away, was scanning. The volume nearest the first event began at 20:31 UTC.
2 thunderstorm wind, 1 hail, 1 lightning. Local standard time, as filed.
A severe thunderstorm knocked down traffic lights onto Kirkwood Highway (Delaware State Route 2) in Eastburn Heights (Mill Creek Hundred). There were also some trees knocked down onto power lines in the area with power outages.
Large hail fell in New Castle from a severe thunderstorm. Half dollar, nickel and dime size hail occurred.
Lightning struck the roof of a Brookside Park house on Marlin Drive. It sparked a fire that caused about $30,000 in damage to the home and rendered it uninhabitable. The family of four were not injured and were assisted by the Red Cross in finding emergency shelter.
A severe thunderstorm generated a wind gust of 59 mph in Smyrna. Widely scattered power outages also occurred.
