NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 10, 8:26 AM EST, 4 hours 34 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 926 AM EDT SUN JUL 10 2016 .SYNOPSIS... Low pressure will exit New England today, meanwhile weak high pressure will gradually approach from the west through tonight. High pressure then moves across our area Monday into Tuesday before shifting offshore by Wednesday. A warm front lifts across our region Wednesday, then a cool front moves through late Friday. This front should start to lift back north as a warm front late Saturday. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... A northwesterly surface flow will continue to bring dry air into our region today. Meanwhile, a mid level trough will move slowly across New England. We should remain within the influence of the trough and we are anticipating that a fair amount of cumulus will develop overhead, especially in our northern and central counties. Also, there is a chance of light showers in our northern counties. Dew point readings should fall into the 50s at most locations with maximum temperatures expected to be mainly in the 80s. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM MONDAY/... A quiet night is in store for the region as high pressure builds eastward toward the region from the Ohio Valley. A favorable radiational cooling setup will be in place for a quick fall of temperatures in the late evening with lows around 60 outside of Philadelphia. Winds will decrease but will still high enough to prevent fog formation. Not much deviation from a blend of MAV/MET and ECMWF MOS for tonight as well. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Summary...Much lower dew points (humidity) Monday into Tuesday, then the heat and humidity builds for the second half of the week. The synoptic setup is comprised of an upper-level trough that shifts across the Canadian Maritimes Monday. As a trough, potentially compact, translates across the far northern Plains and southern Canada late Monday and Tuesday, a downstream ridge will shift eastward and move across our region Tuesday before shifting offshore Wednesday. The upper-level trough is forecast to move across the Great Lakes and into the Northeast Wednesday through Friday, however the main part of this trough may end up lifting into Canada. A cool front will move through late Friday, however it looks to be mostly a dew point boundary. We used a model/continuity blend for Monday through Tuesday night, then blended in the 00z WPC Guidance thereafter. Some adjustments were then made following additional collaboration with our neighboring offices. For Monday...High pressure builds in as the cyclonic flow weakens with ridging aloft approaching from the west. The dew points are expected to remain on the lower side during the day, and with less wind a sea breeze should develop. The dew points should then start to increase some at night especially across the coastal plain and the Delmarva. For Tuesday through Thursday...As a ridge aloft slides eastward, surface high pressure Tuesday is forecast to be shifting offshore. This will allow for the return flow to become more established and some uptick in warm air advection. This thermal advection downstream from a trough moving across southern Canada and the far northern Plains will allow temperatures to start climbing back into the 90s for many areas especially Wednesday and Thursday. In addition, the passage of a warm front Wednesday will usher in an increase in the surface dew points. This will push heat indices once again to near 100 degrees especially for the urban corridor from Wilmington to Philadelphia to Trenton and adjacent counties particularly on Thursday. The amount of heating and moisture advection will determine how high the heat indices get and therefore it is possible parts of the area will need heat related headlines. A mention remains in the hazardous weather outlook for a portion of the region. There could be a bit of convection with the warm front, however much of the forcing looks to reside well to our west. As the heat and moisture builds Wednesday and especially Thursday, a lee side trough may be present and this could serve focus for some mainly afternoon/evening convection. We maintained some low pops especially during the peak heating hours to account for this potential. For Friday and Saturday...As an upper-level trough traverses southern Canada and the Great Lakes region, surface low pressure is forecast to track well to our north. This will pull a cool front into our area late Friday. A lee side trough may propagate across our area well out ahead of the front, and with a hot and humid airmass in place some mostly diurnally driven convection cannot be ruled out. The main trough may end up tracking well to our north, taking much of the forcing with it. Given the potentially unstable environment ahead of the front/lee trough there could be some stronger convection. Plenty of heat and humidity with heat indices peaking around 100 degrees potentially for much of the area Friday afternoon. In the wake of the front Saturday, which may stall just to our south, there is not much in the way of cooling however the dew points should lower. As a result while it looks to be hot on Saturday, the humidity should ease some. && .AVIATION /14Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas. VFR conditions for both today and tonight. The main concern today will be the potential for some west-northwest 20 knot wind gusts during the daylight hours. Winds will decrease to under 10 knots for tonight. Outlook... Monday and Tuesday...VFR overall. Northwest winds to start Monday at less than 10 knots, becoming south-southeast toward evening, then south-southwest up to 10 knots on Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday...Localized low clouds/fog possible each early morning, otherwise mainly VFR. A few showers or thunderstorms are possible during mainly each afternoon and evening. && .MARINE... Some west to northwest wind gusts around 20 knots could occur at times. Seas should stay around three feet, perhaps slightly decreasing throughout the day with the offshore flow. Winds will decrease tonight with continued seas from two to three feet. Outlook... Monday through Thursday...The winds and seas are anticipated to be below Small Craft Advisory criteria. A warm front lifts across the area Wednesday and this will favor a more southerly flow becoming established. RIP CURRENTS: Based on the expected wind, wave and swell conditions, we are anticipating a low risk for the development of dangerous rip currents today along the New Jersey shore and at the Delaware Beaches. The probable risk for the development of dangerous rip currents on Monday is low. && .PHI WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...None. NJ...None. DE...None. MD...None.
