What happened

The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.

A cold front approached the eastern mid-Atlantic late on May 22. Ahead of the front, a warm and strongly unstable air mass was present. However, wind shear was fairly weak and frontal forcing was not overly strong. As the front moved east, a couple areas of thunderstorms developed with daytime heating, gradually progressing eastward from late afternoon through the evening. As supported by the environment, some storms became strong to marginally severe with a few instances of damaging wind. Storm activity gradually waned by the later evening hours with loss of heating, and the frontal passage brought quieter weather by the following day.

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 May 22, 5:40 PM EST, 2 hours 35 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 22, 5:40 PM EST, 2 hours 35 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
640 PM EDT Sun May 22 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong cold front will move through the region tonight, and
the front will settle offshore on Monday. High pressure builds
in for Tuesday and Wednesday, then a frontal system may approach
the area later next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains in effect for the entire WFO
Mount Holly forecast area until 9 PM.

Temperatures have begun to cool off, and as a result, surface
based CAPE values have lowered from upwards of 3000 J/kg to 1500
to 2000 J/kg across most of New Jersey, southeast Pennsylvania,
and Delmarva. Outflow boundaries that developed out ahead of
the main line of thunderstorms over the Delaware Valley seemed
to have stabilized the area enough that the main storms are
fizzling. The main cold front is moving through central
Pennsylvania and will enter eastern Pennsylvania over the next
hour. Composite radar showing storms firing up ahead of the cold
front, but not with the same intensity as earlier.

Otherwise, showers and thunderstorms taper off later this
evening as cold front works its way through the region. There
may be some lingering showers over Delmarva and extreme southern
New Jersey after midnight or so.

Cold air advection will be underway tonight with dew points
dropping into the 50s, and temperatures returning closer to
normal.

Monday looks cloudy, but showers should stay to the south and
west of the region. Will keep the forecast dry.

Lows tonight will drop into the 50s and 60s, and then highs on
Monday will top off in the mid and upper 70s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
The boundary will be well south of the area in the short term
as surface high pressure drifts eastward across southern Ontario
and Quebec provinces. Northeasterly low level flow combined
with ample moisture in mid and upper levels will result in
mainly overcast conditions and temperatures moderated by the
marine influence. Low level moisture will be more plentiful in
the Delmarva where isolated showers are possible.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
The long term forecast remains on track per the latest model
guidance.

A persistent onshore flow will allow dewpoints to moderate into
the 50s Wednesday while also keeping high temperatures only in
the low 70s. Mostly cloudy to overcast skies will persist with
most of the region remaining dry.

Thursday into Friday an upper level low that formed over the
western United States will eject northeast towards the Great
Lakes region. Surface low pressure will deepen as it heads
towards Lake Superior with multiple pieces of PV advecting over
the CWA. As this occurs, the chances of precipitation will
increase through the day Thursday.

On Friday, a surface cold front will sweep through the region
as the upper level low starts to fill. This means precipitation
will exit the coast Friday night with clearing expected Saturday
morning as the dry conveyor belt moves overhead. Behind the
cold front, ridging and associated subsidence will make for a
rain-free Saturday and Sunday.

&&
