NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 18, 7:10 PM EST, 58 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 810 PM EDT MON JUL 18 2016 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will move across our area late tonight and Tuesday morning. High pressure then builds in for Tuesday night and Wednesday before shifting to our south and east Thursday and Friday. A cold front will slowly approach from the northwest over the weekend, then it should drift across the area late Sunday or Monday. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/... Both Severe Thunderstorm Watches have been discontinued in our region. The last of the initial band of convection was moving off the coasts of southern New Jersey and Delaware at 800 PM. A weakening rain shower was moving eastward along the Interstate 78 corridor in Hunterdon County and Somerset County. Meanwhile, showers and isolated thunderstorms associated with an approaching cold front were moving southeastward through northeastern Pennsylvania and southeastern New York. They will affect our far northern counties this evening. We anticipate that they will dissipate before midnight. The frontal boundary is forecast to pass through our region overnight. A light west wind is expected to become northwest to north. The sky should be partly cloudy. Temperatures are forecast to drop into the 60s in our norther counties and into the lower and middle 70s in the south. Dew point readings will be on the decrease, as well. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/... The cold front will exit offshore Tuesday morning and then is expected to stall to the south of our area. Any additional showers or thunderstorms that develop will be driven by the proximity of the front to the southern portions of the forecast area. We continue to mention a slight chance for some showers and thunderstorms across portions of Delmarva and southern New Jersey through tomorrow afternoon. Meanwhile, we will benefit from the westerly, drying winds moving across the region as high pressure starts to make its way to our area. We will see lower dewpoints and, in return, much more comfortable weather. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... Summary...Cooler with much lower dew points for Wednesday into Thursday, then a round of excessive heat/humidity occurs Friday and through the weekend. The synoptic setup is comprised of an upper-level trough across the Northeast and Mid Atlantic Tuesday night into Wednesday, however this feature then mainly shifts offshore through Thursday. Meanwhile, a strong upper-level ridge across the southern states and also the Plains is forecast to expand a bit into the Mid Atlantic region into the day Saturday. There will be short wave energy though traversing the northern tier of the ridge and this could migrate across parts of the Northeast to Mid Atlantic as we go through Friday and over the weekend. The main story is the building heat at the end of the week and persisting over the weekend. Saturday and possibly Sunday have the potential for high temperatures in some areas to near the century mark. The excessive heat aspect (high heat indices) will be determined on the surface dew points. We used a model blend for Tuesday night through Thursday, then blended in the 12z WPC guidance thereafter. Some adjustments were then made following additional collaboration with our neighboring offices. For Tuesday night...A cold front should be south of our area as high pressure begins to build in from the west. Additional drying works southward which results in much lower dew points across much of the region. Prior to this occurring though across Delmarva, there could be isolated convection early in the evening. For Wednesday and Thursday...An upper-level trough axis is forecast to shift to our south and east during this time frame. It looks to linger though near our area as a ridge builds up the Ohio Valley and into the lower Great Lakes. The presence of the trough aloft Wednesday will result in cooler temperatures and much lower dew points. This will be the case for Thursday as well, however as the trough exits the heights begin to build allowing afternoon temperatures to warm a bit. The position of the surface high should result in a northeast wind to start and then it should become light enough to allow for sea breezes to become more apparent Thursday afternoon. A gradual developing return flow though is anticipated as surface high pressure shifts to our south and east Thursday which will allow some increase in the dew points by late Thursday especially across the southern and eastern zones. For Friday through Monday...The ridge axis is forecast to extend over our area Friday before getting knocked down a bit later Saturday and Sunday. This will be due to a short wave trough traversing southern Canada. This will eventually toss a cold front our way mainly late Sunday and Monday, however much of the forcing may end up going well to our north. While there is some timing differences, Friday through Sunday look very hot and humid with this potentially continuing Monday as the front could be slower to arrive. We are anticipating excessive heat Friday and continuing into at least the upcoming weekend. Saturday and/or Sunday may end up being the hottest day of the summer thus far. The upper ridge that contains the core of the excessive heat will start to flatten over the central U.S. and subsequently expand eastward toward the Mid Atlantic late in the week. Return flow around surface high pressure anchored over the Southeast will be the mechanism for bringing the heat into the region. Our forecast area looks to reside on the northern periphery of the core of the heat. Forecast highs are in the mid 90s Friday and then mid to upper 90s Saturday and Sunday. The first 100-degree day should be within reach for especially the I- 95 urban corridor and interior Delmarva on Saturday and possibly Sunday as a weak cold front looks to be slower to arrive. The direction of the boundary layer winds will help determine exactly how high the heat indices will be for this event. Higher dew points (upper 60s and low 70s) would be expected on days where the winds remain more southerly. In this flow regime, heat indices could easily exceed 100 degrees. However, some of the guidance suggests the development of a more westerly wind each day especially with a surface trough in the vicinity. In this setup, downsloping flow would contribute to some drying near the surface, yielding heat indices much closer to the dry-bulb temperature. The excessive heat continues to be highlighted in the hazardous weather outlook. There is also the potential for some convection with a short wave trough passing nearby to our north late Friday and then with a surface trough over the weekend. Coverage of the convection is highly uncertain owing to a significant capping inversion in place and timing/track uncertainties with embedded disturbances. The main cold front may not actually arrive now until sometime on Monday. For now we kept the pops on the low side. && .AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas. The initial area of showers and thunderstorms will continue to move out to sea overnight. Meanwhile, the showers and thunderstorms that were to our north around 800 PM are expected to dissipate gradually and they should not impact any of our TAF sites. We are anticipating mainly VFR conditions through the TAF period. However, some MVFR visibility restriction are possible overnight, especially at those locations that received moderate to heavy rainfall today. A light southwest to west wind is forecast to become northwest to north overnight. A northwest wind around 5 to 10 knots is expected for Tuesday. The sea breeze front is anticipated to reach KACY and perhaps KMIV in the afternoon. OUTLOOK... Tuesday night through Thursday...VFR. North-northwest winds up to 10 knots becoming northeast Wednesday, then turning southeast to southwest through Thursday. Friday and Saturday...Mainly VFR. However, there is a chance for a few thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening. Brief and localized flight restrictions would be possible with any thunderstorms. && .MARINE... Winds and seas have remained below small craft advisory criteria so far this evening and that should continue to be the case overnight. The last of the showers and thunderstorms were moving out to sea. A cold front will cross the area waters overnight and the winds will shift from southwest to northwest. Wind speeds will generally remain around 10 to 15 knots. OUTLOOK... Tuesday night and Wednesday...The winds and seas not expected to reach Small Craft Advisory criteria. A pressure surge ahead of incoming high pressure may produce northeasterly winds of 15-20 knots though for a time Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Thursday through Saturday...The conditions overall look to be below Small Craft Advisory criteria. However, there is a chance some wind gusts out of the southwest near 25 knots nearshore Thursday afternoon. RIP CURRENTS...The risk for the formation of dangerous rip currents on Tuesday currently looks to be low but could approach moderate. && .CLIMATE... The heat wave that is forecast to begin late in the week and continue into the weekend has the prospect to deliver the hottest temperatures we have seen in quite some time. To get a quick perspective, lets take a look at the climate data for Philadelphia (PHL airport). With the latest forecast published this Monday afternoon, the predicted high temperature for Philadelphia is 96F on Friday (7/22) and Sunday (7/24) and 98F on Saturday (7/23). Over the last three years (2014, 2015 and 2016 so far), the highest temperature recorded at PHL was 96F (7/14/16, 9/3/15, 7/2/14). The last time the temperature reached or exceeded 98F at PHL was July 18, 2013. The last 100-degree day at PHL occurred was July 18, 2012. The following table lists daily record high temperatures for July 22-24 for Philadelphia. Date: July 22 July 23 July 24 Record High: 103 101 98 Year Set: 2011 2011 2011 Other sites in the region could be added to this discussion in future updates, if necessary. && .PHI WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
