Cold in New Jersey, February 24, 2015

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1230 AM EST TUE FEB 24 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE IN THE OHIO VALLEY WILL BUILD OVER OUR AREA
OVERNIGHT AND THEN SHIFT OFFSHORE TUESDAY. LOW PRESSURE FORMS OFF
THE MID ATLANTIC COAST TUESDAY NIGHT AND THEN SCOOTS NORTHEASTWARD.
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL PASS ACROSS OUR AREA WEDNESDAY, THEN A MORE
POTENT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ALONG THE GULF COAST WEDNESDAY EVENING
RACES OUT TO SEA WELL TO OUR EAST ON THURSDAY. STRONG ARCTIC HIGH
PRESSURE CENTERED IN MONTANA WILL ARRIVE ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC
COAST NEXT WEEKEND, THEN A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST NEXT
MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER OUR AREA DURING THE OVERNIGHT.
AS THIS OCCURS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL CONTINUE TO RELAX AND
THEREFORE THE WINDS WILL DIMINISH. THE DOWNWARD TREND IN THE WINDS
HAS ALREADY OCCURRED. THIS ALONG WITH A VERY DRY AIRMASS, A CLEAR
SKY AND SNOW COVER WILL RESULT IN RECORD COLD FOR SEVERAL AREAS
EARLY TUESDAY. FOR THE LOCATIONS WHERE THE WIND DROPS OFF FASTER,
TEMPERATURES WILL PLUMMET.

THERE WILL BE ENOUGH WIND FOR AWHILE IN THE POCONOS
COMBINED WITH THE BITTERLY COLD AIR TO PRODUCE WIND CHILL VALUES
AROUND 15 DEGREES BELOW ZERO. THEREFORE THE WIND CHILL ADVISORY
REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE POCONOS. ELSEWHERE, IT WILL ALSO BE
BITTERLY COLD BUT BECAUSE OF LESSENING WINDS THE WIND CHILLS ARE
EXPECTED TO NOT REACH ADVISORY CRITERIA.

THE HOURLY GRIDS WERE ADJUSTED BASED ON THE LATEST OBSERVATIONS,
TAKING INTO ACCOUNT SOME OF THE FASTER TEMPERATURE DROP NOW OCCURRING.
SINCE THE WINDS ARE DIMINISHING PLUS WITH A RATHER DRY AIRMASS AND SNOW
COVER, DID ADJUST THE LOW TEMPERATURES DOWN SOME ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
WESTERN ZONES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
TUESDAY STARTS OFF COLD WITH WITH LIGHT WINDS. AS WINDS INCREASE,
THE WIND CHILLS WILL REMAIN AT OR BELOW ZERO, WITH THE POCONOS
REMAINING BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS, SO THE WIND CHILL ADVISORY
CONTINUES INTO TUESDAY MORNING. DAYTIME HIGHS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO
CLIMB OUT OF THE TEENS FOR THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA, AND
REMAIN IN THE 20S FOR THE SOUTHERN HALF. AS HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS
EASTWARD, WINDS WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME MORE SOUTHEASTERLY-
SOUTHWESTERLY. CLOUDS WILL INCREASE DURING THE DAY, BUT WE DO NOT
ANTICIPATE ANY PRECIPITATION DURING THE DAY. ANY PRECIPITATION IS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN TO OUR WEST AS A SHORT WAVE MOVES INTO
WESTERN/CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
**TOP 6 COLDEST FEBRUARY ON RECORD APPEARS ASSURED WITH NO
 SIGNIFICANT BRIEF WARMUP TIL SUNDAY OR MONDAY**

500MB: A SHARP NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH FROM JAMES BAY TO THE GREAT
LAKES TUESDAY NIGHT WILL MOVE TO NEW ENGLAND BY LATE WEDNESDAY WHILE
A WEAKER SOUTHERN STREAM SHORT WAVE IN THE GULF STATES DEPARTS
NORTHEAST FROM THE CAROLINA COASTS WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THEREAFTER
CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY EXISTS IN DETAILS BUT OVERALL...A BROAD
TROUGH COVERS CANADA AND THE NORTH CENTRAL USA WHILE A STRONG
RIDGE PREVAILS NEAR 140W.

TEMPERATURES: THE MONTH THROUGH THE FIRST 22 DAYS IS AVERAGING 9 TO
11 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. CALENDAR DAY AVERAGES PROJECT 10 BELOW
WEDNESDAY, 15 TO 20 BELOW THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, MAYBE 10
BELOW SUNDAY AND THEN NEAR NORMAL NEXT MONDAY.

FORECAST BASIS:  UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, 50 50 BLEND 12Z/23 GFS/NAM
MOS GUIDANCE TUESDAY NIGHT-WEDNESDAY NIGHT, 12Z/23 MEX MOS THURSDAY
AND THURSDAY NIGHT THEN THE 15Z/23 WPC GRIDDED ELEMENTS OF MAX/MIN
TEMP, 12 HOUR POP, 6 HOUR DEWPOINT-SKY-WIND FROM FRIDAY-NEXT
MONDAY.

THE DAILIES BELOW...

TUESDAY NIGHT-WEDNESDAY:  FAIR SKIES AHEAD OF THE NEXT CFP.
DESPITE AN INCREASING BL WIND LATE TUE NIGHT THAT SHIFTS TO WNW
WEDNESDAY...RADIATIONAL COOLING DECOUPLING ANTICIPATED OVER THE
SNOW COVERED COUNTRYSIDE OF AT LEAST NJ AND AND E PA. 2M TEMPS
FROM THE 12Z/23 GFS ARE PROBABLY EXCELLENT AND MUCH BETTER
PREDICTORS OF THOSE RADIATIONAL COOLING SITES SUCH AS FWN SMQ UKT
AND EVEN MIV/ACY. HAVE FORECAST WELL BELOW GUIDANCE IN THOSE
LOCATIONS. OTRW...CLOUD COVER SHOULD BE MORE COMMON VCNTY KMPO
WHERE FLURRIES MAY OCCUR NEAR AND AFT CFP WEDNESDAY.

THE COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE THRU THE AREA EITHER LATE IN THE
AFTERNOON OR IN THE EVENING ON WEDNESDAY. NORTHWEST WINDS WILL
ADVECT COLDER AIR INTO THE REGION ON GUSTY WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS
OF 25 MPH, THOUGH THIS NEXT ARCTIC BLAST NOT QUITE AS EXTREME AS ITS
PREDECESSORS.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT-THURSDAY...A LITTLE MORE INTERESTING AS ENSEMBLES
ARE HINTING AT A BRUSH WITH SNOW AS THE SOUTHERN STREAM SHORT WAVE
LAUNCHES ANOTHER SFC LOW NEAR CAPE HATTERAS, WHICH IS MODELED TO
MOVE NE OUT TO SEA. THE SREF AND GEFS HAVE DECENT PROBS FOR A PERIOD
OF SNOW WITH THIS FEATURE WEDNESDAY NIGHT, ESPECIALLY DE/COASTAL
S NJ. THE 23/15Z SREF HAS A 60 PROB FOR 1 INCH SE OF I-95 AND A 20
POP FOR 4 INCHES DELAWARE AND THE SE NJ COAST. NORTHWEST TO NORTH
WINDS GUSTS TO 20 MPH. THE 330 PM FCST MAY BE TOO CONSERVATIVE FOR
SE DE AND CAPE MAY NJ. THIS NEEDS TO BE MONITORED FOR A POTENTIAL
AREA OF CONSIDERABLE UPGRADE IN FUTURE FORECASTS. IE..HIGHLY
UNCERTAIN ATTM.

THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...EXPANSIVE HIGH PRESSURE OVER
THE NORTHERN PLAINS WILL BUILD INTO THE NORTHERN MID-ATLANTIC
REGION BY SATURDAY. IT MAY AWAIT A SECOND LOW DEVELOPING OFF THE
MID ATLANTIC COAST TO BRUSH OUR COASTAL AREA WITH LIGHT SNOW BUT
FOR NOW, WE EXPECT THIS LATTER LOW TO BE WEAKER AND FURTHER OUT TO
SEA THAN THE WEDNESDAY NIGHT - THURSDAY MORNING LOW. A BRISK
NORTHERLY AND NOTABLE CAA FLOW WITH GUSTS AROUND 20 MPH IS EXPECTED
THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY WITH LIGHT WIND SATURDAY. HIGH BAROMETRIC
PRESSURE IS ANTICIPATED HERE ON SATURDAY.

SUNDAY-MONDAY...THE HIGH MOVES OFFSHORE SUNDAY AND CHANCES FOR
WINTRY PRECIP INCREASE CONSIDERABLY AHEAD OF THE NEXT COLD FRONT
BY SUNDAY NIGHT WITH MONDAY SUBJECT TO CONSIDERABLE WARMING ALOFT.
STILL TOO FAR OUT AND TOO MUCH UNCERTAINTY TO OFFER MUCH DETAIL.
REMEMBER THE EARLY MODEL CYCLES OF LAST WEEK (00Z/17 AND 00Z/18
GUIDANCE FOR THIS PAST SATURDAY'S WINTRY PCPN THAT WAS SUPPOSED
TO CHANGE TO RAIN EVERYWHERE WITH A BIG WARMUP THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN
NEARLY AS AGGRESSIVELY. FORTUNATELY THE MODELS GAVE UP ON THE BIG
WARMING SHORTLY AFTER THE 00Z/18 CYCLE.

LIGHT WIND SUNDAY PROBABLY REDUCES WARMING MIXING POTENTIAL AS
DOES CONSIDERABLE CLOUD COVER AND THE THREAT OF PRECIPITATION.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

TONIGHT...VFR. NORTH-NORTHWEST WINDS AROUND 10 KNOTS, BECOMING LIGHT
AND VARIABLE OVERNIGHT AT MOST TERMINALS.

TUESDAY...VFR, WITH SOME INCREASE IN MID TO HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS IN THE
AFTERNOON. LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS EARLY, BECOMING SOUTH-SOUTHEAST
LESS THAN 10 KNOTS.

OUTLOOK...
TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...PREDOMINATELY VFR. ISO SHSN, MAINLY
POCONOS WEDNESDAY. WNW WINDS 10-15 KT WILL GUST TO 25 KT ON
WEDNESDAY.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...VFR AND MODEST NLY WINDS GUSTING
TO 20 KT AT TIMES. SMALL CHANCE OF IFR SNOW EARLY THURSDAY VCNTY
KACY.

SATURDAY...VFR. LIGHT NW WIND.

&&

.MARINE...
ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT, THEN SHIFT OFFSHORE TUESDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT TO CONTINUE TO RELAX AND THEREFORE THE WINDS WILL BE
DIMINISHING. THIS IS ALREADY OCCURRING AS THE WINDS ARE GRADUALLY
COMING DOWN ACROSS DELAWARE BAY THIS EVENING. HOWEVER, WINDS ARE
STILL GUSTING JUST ABOVE 25KT ON THE ATLANTIC COASTAL WATERS. THUS
HAVE EXTENDED THE SCA THERE THROUGH 4 AM. ONCE THE WINDS DROP OFF
BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS, THEY WILL REMAIN SO THROUGH TUESDAY.

AS TEMPERATURES REMAIN WELL BELOW FREEZING OVERNIGHT, MODERATE
FREEZING SPRAY IS EXPECTED FOR A TIME AND THEREFORE THE FREEZING
SPRAY ADVISORY CONTINUES.

OUTLOOK...
TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...SW WINDS TUESDAY NIGHT AND W-NW
WINDS WEDNESDAY PROBABLY GUST AROUND 20 KT. MARGINAL SCA CRITERIA
POSSIBLE.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT... WINDS TURN NLY AND INCREASE
TO AROUND 20 KT WITH NEAR SCA LEVELS. MODERATE FREEZING SPRAY IS
ALSO POSSIBLE AS WINDS AND WAVES INCREASE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...NO HEADLINES ON DELAWARE BAY WITH LIGHT
NORTHERLY FLOW BUT THE PERSISTENT NNE FETCH OF COLD AIR OVER
RELATIVELY WARM SST (IF YOU CONSIDER SST IN THE LOWER 30S WARM)
MAY FORCE HAZARDOUS 5-6 FT 6 SECOND NE SWELLS?

FIFTH COLDEST AT PHL.

THE FOLLOWING IS A TABLE OF THE ***PROJECTED*** MEAN FEBRUARY 2015
TEMPERATURES /F/ AND DEPARTURES FROM NORMAL. THIS IS ALSO BASED ON
THE CURRENT FORECAST, AND THUS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. JANUARY 2015 MEAN
TEMPERATURES ARE ALSO INCLUDED FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES.

POR  / SITE / FEB MEAN(F) / FEB NORMAL(F) / DEPARTURE / JAN MEAN(F)

1922 / KABE	/ 18.5        / 30.7          / -12.2     / 25.9

IN GENERAL, MEAN TEMPERATURES AT OUR FOUR MAJOR CLIMATE SITES ARE ON
TRACK TO BE AROUND 10 TO 12 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR FEBRUARY 2015.
IT'S ALSO INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT THE PROJECTED FEBRUARY 2015 MEAN
TEMPERATURES WILL BE WELL BELOW THE JANUARY 2015 MEAN TEMPERATURES.
TO PUT THIS IN PERSPECTIVE, NORMAL MEAN FEBRUARY TEMPERATURES AT OUR
FOUR MAJOR CLIMATE SITES ARE ABOUT 2 TO 3 DEGREES WARMER THAN
JANUARY. THE OPPOSITE IS SHAPING UP FOR FEBRUARY 2015.
