Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
608 PM EDT TUE AUG 16 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will move across much of the area late tonight into
Wednesday morning. This front slowly moves to the south through
the day, and dissipates through Thursday. A back door front may
move into the area late Friday into the weekend as high pressure
builds across the area from the northeast. A cold front from the
west is expected to move across the area around Monday.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
600-630 PM Update...Convection that initiated along a pre-frontal
trough continues to steadily track east-northeastward from
northeastern Maryland to northeastern Pennsylvania. There is not a
lot of forcing, however with a hot and very humid airmass
convection has tended to organize into a few line segments/clusters
as enough of a cold pool developed. A couple of bowing features
were evident especially earlier on. The convection is weakening
however overall, although a cell in northeastern Maryland is
currently the strongest. The severe weather threat looks to be
waning, however will hold onto the watch for now.
Otherwise, just about all of the available hires CAM guidance
shows convection quickly dissipating as it moves east of the I-95
corridor/Delaware Valley after sunset. Despite a lack of large-
scale forcing overhead and instability becoming increasingly
elevated later into the night, an isolated shower or storm cannot
be ruled out even during the overnight given how warm, moist and
unstable the airmass is.
The Excessive Heat Warning and Heat Advisories are expected to
expire as scheduled (8 PM). It will continue to be muggy tonight,
especially along and southeast of I-95 where temps overnight only
fall into the upper 70s and dewpoints are in the mid 70s. Slightly
cooler and drier air arrives by early morning across northeastern
PA as a cold front arrives from the west.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
The cold front is expected to reach the I-95 corridor by midday
Wednesday. The front looks to get hung up in the coastal plain of
S NJ and Delmarva during the afternoon. Accordingly, we will see a
relief from the excessive heat and humidity west of the fall line
with highs in the 80s and dewpoints in the 60s. A much different
story across the coastal plain with highs in the low to mid 90s
and dewpoints in the 70s. Peak heat indices are forecast to reach
or possibly exceed 100F at ACY, MIV, DOV, ESN and GED, but be just
below heat advisory criteria.
Another round of showers and storms are expected along and south
of the front Wednesday afternoon. PoPs are highest across the
Delmarva and far southern NJ near the DE Bay. Locally heavy rain
and strong winds are possible with moderate instability forecast
to develop and deep-layer shear strengthening ahead of an upper
shortwave trough.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
The frontal boundary will slowly sag to our south Wednesday night
into Thursday, before dissipating. Meanwhile, a couple of short
wave/vorticity impulses will move across the area. This will help
create scattered showers and thunderstorms, especially across the
southern half of the area. Thursday will continue to be warm and
humid, but not as hot and humid as the past several days, so heat
index values are not expected to reach advisory levels.
On Friday into the weekend, a back door cold front may dip down
across the area from the north as high pressure builds in from the
northeast. There is the potential for scattered showers and
thunderstorms to develop as several short wave/vorticity impulses
move across the area. Hot and humid weather continues with
temperatures well into the mid-upper 80s and low 90s. However,
heat index values are not expected to reach advisory levels.
A cold front is expected to approach the area overnight Sunday
and move into the area by Monday morning, and progress eastward
through Monday night. Increasing precipitation chances for showers
and thunderstorms are expected by Sunday night, with the highest
probabilities Monday into Monday night.
The front should have pushed offshore by Tuesday morning and all
precipitation should be moving offshore as well. With the frontal
passage, cooler air should move in, and return closer to normal.
&&
.AVIATION /22Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.
Outside of any showers and thunderstorms, expect generally VFR
conditions with S-SW winds 10-15 kt into this evening. As of 22z,
some showers and thunderstorms have cleared RDG and will do so
soon at ABE. For the I-95 TAF sites, some convection will move
through between 2230-0030Z however a weakening trend is occurring.
A brief period of IFR vsbys and gusty westerly winds are possible
with these storms. It is still uncertain if storms make it farther
east into MIV/ACY with instability waning after sunset.
Showers and storms should dissipate by midnight, leaving VFR
conditions through the remainder of the TAF period overnight.
Winds should shift to westerly by early morning but will generally
be 10 kt or less. Temporary MVFR conditions with cigs 1500-3000 ft
may develop during the mid morning hours as stratocu develops.
Otherwise, VFR tomorrow. NW winds will be in the 10-15 kt range
during the morning, weakening a bit to 10 kt or less during the
afternoon.
OUTLOOK...
Wednesday night...Generally VFR. Chance of showers/thunderstorms
across southern NJ and DE/MD which may lead to temporarily lower
conditions.
Thursday-Thursday night...Generally VFR. A chance of showers or
thunderstorms during the afternoon.
Friday-Friday night...VFR.
Saturday-Sunday...Generally VFR. Chance of showers and
thunderstorms, especially during the day, possibly leading to lower
condition.
&&
.MARINE...
S-SWly winds are starting to strengthen, especially on the
northern coastal waters this afternoon, with gusts at or above 20
kt already observed. Expect this to continue this evening with
frequent gusts to 25 kt likely. Seas should subsequently increase
as well. It still looks as if the northern NJ coastal waters will
meet SCA criteria for both winds and seas. For the southern
coastal waters, conditions are expected to remain just below SCA
criteria, but we will continue to monitor. SCA conditions are not
expected on the Delaware Bay. Gusty winds will be possible in the
vicinity of any thunderstorms. The storms will threaten the upper
DE Bay between 530 and 7 PM and then coastal waters between after
sunset this evening.
Rip Currents....The risk for the formation of dangerous rip
currents will be low through the rest of today and again on
Wednesday.
OUTLOOK...
Wednesday night-Sunday...Sub-Small Craft Advisory conditions
expected across the waters through the period. Winds may
periodically gust 15-20 knots.
