What happened

The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.

Tropical Storm Elsa approached the mid-Atlantic states from the south on July 8. Downstream of Elsa, a warm and moist environment was present. A slow moving frontal boundary also resided over northern New Jersey, northern Pennsylvania, and into New York. This frontal system provided forcing for convective development over the mid-Atlantic, in fairly close proximity but unrelated to Tropical Storm Elsa. With strong instability and weak to moderate wind shear, some of the storms became severe as they organized into linear and multi-cellular clusters. Deep layer southerly flow in advance of Elsa caused storms to move northward as opposed to a more typical eastward motion. Damaging wind was the main hazard associated with these storms, with several strong downbursts noted. Storm activity eventually weakened and moved north of the region by evening as Elsa moved in.

What forecasters said that day

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 Jul 8, 1:50 PM EST, 5 minutes earlier.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
250 PM EDT Thu Jul 8 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Our region will be positioned in between High Pressure over the
North Atlantic and low pressure over the Great Lakes through
today. Tonight through Friday morning, the center of tropical
system Elsa is expected to pass over or near our region. A cold
front approaching from the northwest is expected to arrive on
Friday night. This front is anticipated to stall nearby over the
weekend before lifting to the north early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Will try to keep the update short and sweet on a very busy weather
day across the area.

1. Severe Weather This Afternoon and Evening:

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for portions of New
Jersey and Pennsylvania until 9PM this evening. A special SWODY1 was
also issued by SPC to add a Slight risk of severe weather to roughly
the same area as the Watch. This reflects a shift in expectations to
increased severe weather potential this afternoon and evening, in
advance of Elsa. Mesoanalysis indicates a favorable environment for
convection characterized by strong to extreme instability and weak
to moderate shear. We've seen a couple of splitting supercells
already in the region, and we may also see multi-cellular or quasi-
linear modes become more prevalent with time. Believe hi res
guidance such as HRRR is generally handling this well. Damaging
winds will be the primary threat but cannot rule out hail or an
isolated tornado. This threat will start to wane towards 8 to 10 PM
as Elsa moves in.

2. Elsa:

Very little has changed regarding expectations for Elsa today, and
no changes have been made to the tropical headlines. There has been
some trend to move the center of Elsa a little further east, which
would also shift the heavier rainfall axis a bit east. But these are
mostly noise level changes. We are forecasting a stripe of 2 to 3
inches of rain, locally higher, over the coastal plain, with lesser
amounts west of the Delaware River. However, the thunderstorms not
associated with Elsa may also produce locally heavier rainfall
anywhere in the CWA. A Flash Flood Watch remains in effect for
the entire area. Wind will not be much of a factor, save for
towards the coast where a period of winds at least close to
tropical storm force is expected. An isolated tornado is also
possible, mainly near and east of Elsa's track, which would
again leave areas right along the coast most favored. No
concerns regarding storm surge. The worst conditions in terms of
rain and wind are expected from about 10PM to 5AM from south to
north.

3. Tomorrow's Weather and Additional Severe Potential:

As if this wasn't enough, tomorrow could also be a rather active day
of weather. Rain and clouds associated with Elsa will depart early
in the day, likely before 9 or 10AM in most of the area. That will
give way to a fairly typical summer day with highs rising well into
the 80s and still plenty of humidity around. A shortwave trough and
cold front then approach for the afternoon and evening. This will
likely bring additional showers and thunderstorms late in the day.
Some of these storms may be strong to severe, with encroaching mid-
level dry air potentially enhancing a damaging wind threat. DCAPE
also looks rather high. Not thinking this is going to be too big of
an event, but just another thing to watch in what's been a very busy
stretch. The cold front moves through tomorrow evening, and more
tranquil weather returns for Friday night.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
The departing Elsa leaves a building H5/H7 ridge behind it as
it moves away from the area. A couple lingering showers across
Nrn/central NJ Fri evening will be the only precip Saturday and
Saturday evening. A couple showers may arrive across the region
overnight Saturday into Sunday, but pops are only in the slight chc
range for now.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
No changes made to the long term.

A rather unsettled period for the end of the weekend and into
next week. A strong Bermuda-type high remain offshore and will
occasionally strengthen and ridge back across the Middle
Atlantic. Meanwhile, a trough/low across the Plains and Ohio
Valley region will remain in place through early next week and
then eject out across the Great Lakes area.

Precipitation will mostly be showery in nature with late
afternoon and evening hours favored. Best chances are for the
periods Sun-Mon and Tue. Chances for showers lessen for Wednesday
and Thursday.

Temperatures will become closer to normal during later Sat and it
will remain into Sunday. By next week, the heat and humidity will
return with daytime max temps returning to above normal and highs
close to 90 in many areas.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.

Through 00Z... Prevailing VFR conditions are expected. However,
based on trends in radar and hi res model guidance, have added a
mention of thunder at most of the terminals late this afternoon and
this evening. Any storms would bring a 30 to 60 minute period of sub-
VFR conditions. Southwest winds of 10 to 15 kt are expected. Higher
winds are possible in and near tstms. High confidence in prevailing
VFR but lower confidence in the timing and placement of thunder.

Tonight... As Tropical Storm Elsa approaches, deteriorating
conditions are expected. CIGs will drop to MVFR and likely IFR as
heavier showers move through, mainly starting after 01z. Winds will
steadily shift from SW to SE to NE to NW, coming basically all the
way around the compass. Speeds at most of the terminals will be 10
to 15 kt or less throughout the night. However, some higher gusts of
20 to 30 kt are likely near MIV and ACY, closer to the center of
Elsa. Moderate confidence overall.

Friday... Improving conditions are expected in the early morning
hours, with the terminals returning to VFR by around 15z if not
sooner. Mainly VFR through the day, but yet another round of
thunderstorms is possible during the later afternoon and evening
hours. Terminals near and west of PHL will be most favored for this.
West-southwest winds around 10 kt, higher in and near tstms.
Moderate confidence.

Outlook...

Friday night/Saturday...Mostly VFR. Patchy fog around dawn Sat.

Sat night thru Tuesday...Mostly VFR, but scattered showers and tstms
with lower CIGS/VSBYS possible.

&&

.MARINE...
A Tropical Storm Warning remains in effect for the Atlantic Ocean
coastal waters, along with lower Delaware Bay. Tropical storm force
winds and/or wind gusts can be expected for these area beginning
later this evening and continuing through tonight into Friday.

A Small Craft Advisory also remains in effect for upper Delaware
Bay. Wind gusts of 25 to 30 knots are possible beginning later this
evening and continuing through tonight into Friday.

Outlook...

Saturday through Tuesday...Mostly sub-SCA conditions expected.
Scattered showers and tstms Sun-Tue will bring localized higher
winds and seas.

Rip currents...

As Tropical Storm Elsa approaches the area, for the rest of today
there will be a MODERATE risk for the development of dangerous rip
currents along the coasts of Delaware and New Jersey through this
evening.

The center of Elsa will pass over our region overnight tonight into
early Friday before moving away to our northeast through the day
Friday. Elevated waves along with strong winds will lead to a HIGH
risk for the development of dangerous rip currents on Friday.
