Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 240 PM EDT Mon Aug 9 2021 .SYNOPSIS... A surface low off the New Jersey coast will move slowly northeastward just offshore southern New England through Monday night. High pressure will build and persist across much of the eastern U.S. this coming week, with lee surface troughing developing in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. A cold front may approach the region by the end of the week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/... A weakening area of low pressure located off the northern NJ coast will continue to meander NEwrd away from the area through Tuesday morning. At mid-lvls the attendant closed low will also pull away from the area this afternoon, with shortwave ridging briefly moving over the area tonight (although some weak convectively-enhanced shortwaves may be embedded in it). Scattered diurnal convection will continue to develop this afternoon, with some limited forcing resulting from low-lvl convergence on the backside of the departing low. Although instability is fairly high (MLCAPE values in excess of 2000 J/kg over Delmarva), very weak flow aloft and gradually decreasing mid-lvl lapse rates should preclude any severe threat. Given Corfidi vector magnitudes of only around 10kts and increasing PWATs/warm cloud depths there could be some localized hydro concerns if any storms were to train along prone areas... but given the anticipated limited storm coverage this threat is very conditional. Overnight there will be the potential for another round of mostly showers (with maybe a few rumbles) as a weak convergence zone sets up near the center of our area in association with a primarily W-E oriented sfc.trough. Lift may also be somewhat enhanced by some very low-amplitude perturbations passing into the mid-lvl ridge axis. Given that the overall forcing is subtle, and mid-lvl heights will actually be rising, am not as bullish on POP/QPF as consensus guidance, and feel that Chc PoPs near the wind shift line are adequate. Additionally we may see some stratus form over the northern half of our area late tonight into Tuesday morning, with this stratus possibly pivoting a little southward by Tuesday AM. Fog should largely be limited to areas sufficiently north of the boundary i.e. the Poconos and associated valleys. Tuesday will feature a more typical summertime setup with warm/moist southerly flow prevailing over the area, between the Bermuda High and the a low passing over the Great Lakes. Highs should reach around 90, and with dewpoints in the low-mid 70s we may approach heat advisory criteria in the urban corridor (heat indices approaching 100 degrees). That being said, it looks fairly borderline at this time and with more substantial heat concerns looking likely later in the week, held off with any products at this time. The storm threat looks to hold off until late in the afternoon (and mostly focused over the west), as the main forcing will be associated with the prefrontal trough well to our west and it remains to be seen if the activity will make it to our area prior to the loss of daytime heating. && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... The Short Term period begins Tuesday night with a weak mid-level low pushing away from the area. Meanwhile, a low amplitude mid-level trough will push slowly eastward from the Dakotas toward the Great Lakes region through Thursday and closing off over the Hudson bay as it does so. Southwesterly return flow will result beginning Wednesday with subtropical ridging extending from the western Atlantic into the Southeast and strong low pressure across Hudson Bay. A few weak mid-level perturbations and surface troughing developing from southeastern Pennsylvania into the upper Delaware River Valley should be enough to initiate some diurnal showers and thunderstorms both Wednesday and Thursday. Instability should be higher on Thursday however (MLCAPE >2000 J/kg), so I suspect Thursday will see the greatest coverage and intensity of convection. The column will be fairly saturated (not much in the way of dry air layers) and effective shear should remain limited (~20 kts or less), thus the organized severe threat should remain limited. Nevertheless, some water-loaded wet microbursts could be possible with the stronger cells leading to at least some isolated severe potential. The bigger story remains the potential for an extended period of excessive heat and humidity starting Wednesday through the end of the week. Temperatures and dewpoints will be on the rise starting Wednesday amid the southwesterly surface flow with highs in the low to mid 90s for most and dewpoints in the low to mid 70s. Resulting heat indicies Wednesday should climb above 100 degrees away from the coasts and higher terrain and some areas may reach or exceed 105 degrees. By Thursday, the flow turns more westerly introducing more downsloping into the equation and thus temperatures should be a couple degrees warmer with most areas forecast to see highs in the mid 90s. Resulting heat indicies Thursday are forecast to rise into the low to mid 100s. There won't be much relief at night with lows in the low to mid 70s for most. The lack of any low-level dry air leads me to believe there won't be much in the way of dewpoints mixing out unfortunately. This period will need to monitored closely for the potential of heat headlines (Advisories and/or Watches/Warnings), especially for the urban corridor. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... The mid-level trough axis and associated jet maxima will slowly near and pass north of the area on Friday. An associated cold front will also push toward the area from the north late Friday into Saturday. The GFS appears to be a little too progressive with this feature and thus have trended the forecast toward a slower ECMWF solution. Otherwise, the Long Term forecast remains on track with no major changes made for the weekend forecast. The excessive heat and humidity is forecast to continue through Friday with the cold front slowly approaching from the north and continued low-level westerly flow. Overall, the temperatures and dewpoints appear to be quite similar to Thursday with highs in the mid 90s and forecast heat indicies rising into the low to mid 100s. Have maintained mention of higher end chance to likely PoP for areas along and north/west of I-95 as this will be the area with the greatest forcing and instability for convection. Details of any potential severe weather threat remains a little unclear at this point given differences in the timing of the jet maxima and cold front to the north, but Friday could certainly see a little more widespread coverage of thunderstorms and severe weather potential given the synoptic setup. As the front sags slowly into the area into Saturday and eventually stalls out across the region, chances for showers and thunderstorms will remain for the weekend, although thankfully with more seasonably temperatures. && .AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas. Rest of the afternoon... Mostly VFR although a few showers and storms may bring temporary restrictions to some of the terminals, but confidence in timing/locations is too low to include in the TAFs at this time. Winds either light southerly or light and variable. Moderate confidence. Tonight... Some temporarily restrictions possible in showers after midnight, and then some additional restrictions in stratus (mostly KPHL and northward) into Tuesday morning. Winds largely light and variable. Low confidence in southward extent of stratus and also how low Cigs get. Tuesday... Generally VFR once AM stratus clears, some storms possible late in the afternoon at KRDG/KABE. S-SW winds around 10kts. Moderate confidence. Outlook... Wednesday through Friday...Mainly VFR, but scattered showers and thunderstorms are forecast during the afternoon and evening hours which may locally lead to ceiling or visibility restrictions. The greatest coverage of thunderstorms is forecast to be on Friday, especially along and north/west of I-95. Southwesterly winds 5-10 kts during the day and 5 kts or less at night. High confidence on the overall pattern. && .MARINE... Sub-SCA conditions are expected through Tuesday with seas only 2-3ft and generally southerly winds gusting 15-20kts. A few thunderstorms will be possible on the waters (particularly Delaware Bay) this afternoon Outlook... Wednesday through Friday...Sub-advisory conditions area forecast through the remainder of the week. South to southwesterly winds 10- 15 kts with some gusts up to 20 kts possible during the daytime hours. Afternoon and/or evening showers and thunderstorms possible, mainly Friday. Seas 2-3 feet. Rip Currents... There is a low risk of rip currents through Tuesday. && .PHI WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...None. NJ...None. DE...None. MD...None.
