The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.
A cold front moved across Maryland during the afternoon of the 7th. This front produced periods of rain along a line of convective showers and strong winds just ahead of the cold front. A thunderstorm wind gust of 46MPH was measured in North East (Cecil County) at 1210EST. Later in the afternoon, a thunderstorm wind gust snapped several telephone poles in Centreville (Queen Anne's County) at 1715EST.
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 Apr 7, 2:58 PM EST, 1 hour 17 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
358 PM EDT THU APR 7 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT CROSSED OUR AREA THIS AFTERNOON. A WEAK CLIPPER
SYSTEM WILL CROSS THE REGION SATURDAY, MOVING OFFSHORE AND
DEEPENING AS IT MOVES OFF TO THE NORTHEAST. HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
OHIO VALLEY WILL SLIDE TO THE SOUTH OF THE REGION SUNDAY, MOVING
OFFSHORE AND TO OUR EAST THROUGH MONDAY. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
WILL CROSS TO THE NORTH OFF THE AREA TUESDAY, DRAGGING A COLD
FRONT ACROSS THE REGION TUESDAY AFTERNOON OR EVENING. A LARGE AREA
OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THE WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT THAT RACED THROUGH THE REGION EARLIER,
SHOULD SEE COLD AND DRY AIR ADVECTION THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
AS SUCH SHOULD SEE THE PRECIP SLOWLY TAPER OFF THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS. THOUGH THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL REMAIN QUITE TIGHT
OVERNIGHT, EXPECT THAT WITH COLD AIR ADVECTION, A STRONG INVERSION
SHOULD DEVELOP, LIMITING THE AMOUNT OF MIXING WE WILL SEE FOR WINDS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
A TRAILING SURFACE TROUGH AND UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL
START TO APPROACH THE REGION THROUGH THIS TIME, BUT WILL STILL BE
FAR ENOUGH WEST THAT THE REGION SHOULD BE DRY THROUGH THIS PERIOD.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
FRIDAY NIGHT, A WEAK CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE AREA FROM
THE WEST. THE AREA SHOULD REMAIN PRECIPITATION FREE THROUGH MOST
OF THE NIGHT. HOWEVER, AS THE LOW BEGINS TO APPROACH OVERNIGHT,
SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION MAY DEVELOP AND SPREAD ACROSS OUR
SOUTHERN AREAS. TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY BE COLD ENOUGH FOR THE
PRECIPITATION TO START OUT AS SNOW OR RAIN/SNOW MIX POSSIBLE.
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO FALL BELOW FREEZING FOR SOME AREAS
FRIDAY NIGHT, WHICH COULD LEAD TO FREEZE WATCHES/WARNINGS IN THE
FUTURE.
SATURDAY, THE LOW WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA AND STRENGTHEN OFF
THE COAST. MEANWHILE, THE MID/UPPER LOW AND ASSOCIATED VORTICITY
WILL DRIFT ACROSS THE NORTHEAST AS WELL. THIS IS EXPECTED TO LEAD
TO A PERIOD OF PRECIPITATION DURING THE DAY SATURDAY. THICKNESSES
ARE QUITE LOW AND WOULD SUPPORT SNOW. THE MOS TEMPERATURES ARE
QUITE WARM, WHILE THE 2M GRIDDED TEMPERATURES ARE A BIT LOWER THAN
MOS. WITH CLOUD COVER AND PRECIPITATION POSSIBLE, WE WOULD EXPECT
TEMPERATURES TO BE ON THE LOWER SIDE, SO WE'VE TAKEN MORE OF A
BLEND OF THE 2M TEMPS. WE EXPECT THE PRECIPITATION TO START OUT AS
SNOW OR RAIN/SNOW MIX, THEN AS TEMPERATURES WARM SLIGHTLY DURING
THE DAY, THE RAIN/SNOW LINE MAY PUSH NORTHWARD. AREAS ACROSS THE
FAR NORTH MAY NOT ACTUALLY CHANGE OVER. WE COULD HAVE SOME
ACCUMULATING SNOW, WITH THE BEST POTENTIAL ACROSS THE NORTHERN
HALF OF THE AREA. GENERALLY WE EXPECT AROUND AN INCH OR LESS,
MAINLY ON GRASSY SURFACES. HIGHER ELEVATIONS ACROSS THE FAR NORTH
MAY SEE 1-2 WHERE THEY HAVE THE BEST POTENTIAL TO STAY ALL SNOW.
THE PRECIPITATION WILL TAPER OFF DURING THE EVENING AS THE LOW
PULLS AWAY FROM THE AREA.
A DRY PERIOD SHOULD FOLLOW FOR SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE FROM THE WEST WILL BUILD TO OUR SOUTH DURING THE DAY
SUNDAY. IT WOULDN'T BE SURPRISING TO SEE SOME FLURRIES ACROSS THE
FAR NORTHERN AREAS WITH THE NORTHWEST FLOW. TEMPERATURES ARE AGAIN
EXPECTED TO FALL BELOW FREEZING FOR SOME AREAS SATURDAY NIGHT,
WHICH COULD LEAD TO FREEZE WATCHES/WARNINGS IN THE FUTURE.
THE HIGH BUILDS OFFSHORE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. AN AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE WILL BE MOVING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER OF SOUTHERN
CANADA. AS IT DOES SO, A WARM FRONT MAY LIFT ACROSS THE AREA
OVERNIGHT SUNDAY INTO THE EARLY PART OF THE DAY MONDAY, WHICH MAY
LEAD TO SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS THE AREA LATER SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
MONDAY.
THE COLD FRONT IS NOT EXPECTED UNTIL TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT.
THE GFS AND ECMWF DIFFER WITH THE TIMING OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY,
BUT GENERALLY AGREE WITH A TUESDAY TIMING OF THE FRONT AND
GREATEST PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD TO OUR WEST WEDNESDAY, WHICH SHOULD HAVE
ENOUGH OF AN EFFECT ON OUR AREA TO BRING DRY WEATHER.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

WESTERLY. WINDS WILL INCREASE AFTER 12Z WITH GUSTS UP TO 25 KT
