What happened

The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.

A cold front approached the mid-Atlantic on April 14. Ahead of the front, unseasonably warm temperatures well into the 80s were present. While moisture was more limited, this still allowed for some weak to borderline moderate instability to develop. Combined with sufficient wind shear and forcing, scattered showers and thunderstorms developed ahead of the front on the afternoon of the 14th. While atmospheric conditions caused the storms to mainly stay below severe limits, some locally strong to damaging wind gusts were reported.

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 Apr 14, 1:40 PM EST, 2 hours 50 minutes earlier.

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will continue moving offshore of the region tonight.
High pressure is forecast to slide from the southern Appalachians
tonight to the waters off the Middle Atlantic Coast on Friday. A
cold front is expected to approach from the northwest on Saturday
and it should arrive late in the day. High pressure is anticipated
to follow for Sunday. Another cold front is forecast to progress
toward our region from the west early in the new week and an area of
low pressure may develop along the boundary. High pressure is then
expected in its wake for the mid week period.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Ongoing forecast working out well with minor adjustments to
winds and temps. A mid- level ridge axis will move offshore
this morning as the southwesterly surface gradient increases a
bit. Increasing clouds this afternoon.

A negative tilt mid-level trough axis associated with a
broad closed low across the upper Midwest will sweep across the
region this afternoon. At the surface, a cold front will
approach the area from the west and is expected to pass through
during the course of the mid to late afternoon. Ahead of the
front, warm advection will continue amid the modest
southwesterly flow. Southwesterly winds will increase after
daybreak to around 15 mph with gusts to around 25 mph.
Temperatures will climb into the low to mid 80s again (away from
the coast and outside of the higher terrain) with highs pushing
20 degrees above normal. Most records appear to be safe as most
values are in the upper 80s to around 90 degrees.

The main story today remains the showers and thunderstorms
developing along the cold front as it moves through the region
this afternoon. The cold front should be sufficient to initiate
convection just to our west across the Susquehanna Valley by
late morning or early afternoon. MLCAPE should climb to above
500 J/kg along with deep layer effective shear around 35-40 kts.
DCAPE appears to be in the neighborhood of 600-800 J/kg and
lapse rates are modest around 6.5-7 C/km. The deep layer shear
vector relative to the cold front should favor a semi-discrete
to multi-cellular convective mode along the front, not likely to
evolve into a well defined line. I think the main threat with
the stronger thunderstorms that develop will be locally damaging
winds, but small hail is possible as well. SPC has maintained a
Slight Risk mainly along and northwest of I-95. The Slight risk
area lines up well with where the ingredients for the damaging
wind risk should all come together. This will be the zone where
the front will be pushing into the highest instability combined
with the peak daytime heating and shear. I should also mention
that PWs will climb to around 1.25 inches, so some brief
downpours should be expected with the heavier showers and
storms. Given the fast motion of the cells, QPF values around
only around a quarter of an inch or so.

Confidence in the timing of the convection is relatively high
given that the cold front itself will be driving the event. I
anticipate the convection to begin across the northwestern zones
around 2 PM and the front (and severe threat) should be
offshore by 7 PM. The mid-level jet to our northwest will
provide lingering forcing for scattered post-frontal showers
with embedded thunderstorms. This activity should wind down by
midnight or so. I did increase PoPs a bit after the frontal
passage to reflect this trend.

Temperatures will fall mostly into the mid to upper 40s tonight
with northwesterly winds diminishing as high pressure settles
briefly into the region. Skies will also gradually clear out
from northwest to southeast as the night progresses.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
As upper level low pressure and broad, weak surface low pressure
slowly shift eastward to our north, a reinforcing cold front will
move through the region on Saturday. Ahead of the front, Friday
night should be dry and fairly mild with light southwest flow
keeping lows in the upper 40s and low 50s. By Saturday morning, the
front will still be to our northwest. Southwest flow will continue
and strengthen somewhat ahead of it as the pressure gradient
tightens, with gusts over 20 mph likely. Despite increasing cloud
cover, this will help keep temperatures on the mild side with
another day of highs in the mid 60s to approaching 70 in most areas.

While some timing differences remain, the front appears likely to
move through during the late afternoon or evening. Scattered showers
are possible along and ahead of the front, although rainfall looks
rather light overall due to limited moisture and because the front
is fairly progressive. The front does have a fairly sharp thermal
gradient with it, and we will turn noticeably cooler Saturday night.
Winds will shift around to northwest, and by Sunday morning,
temperatures in the upper 30s to low 40s are expected.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Surface high pressure is expected to build down from Ontario and the
Great Lakes for Sunday into Sunday night, bringing cool dry weather
to our region. Sunday should be a dry but considerably cooler day
with temperatures in the 50s. We will have to monitor for
frost/freeze potential on Sunday night in zones where the growing
season is active. The combination of dry air and decreasing winds
may allow temperatures to fall quickly after sunset, if cloud cover
holds off ahead of the next weather system.

The high is forecast to move away to our east and northeast on
Monday. Clouds and precipitation ahead of our next weather system
should begin to arrive at that time. However, it will likely take
the rain a while to overcome the retreating low level dry air
associated with the high. As a result, we will mention only a low
chance of rain for Monday, mainly in the afternoon. Temperatures are
expected to remain cool with highs mostly in the 50s.

Low pressure is anticipated to move from the Great Lakes on Monday
night to the Saint Lawrence River Valley on Tuesday and it will
likely pull a cold front toward our region. It looks as though the
cold front will arrive late on Monday night along with additional
clouds and an increasing chance of rain. With the cooler air coming
in, we will even half to watch thermal profiles up north for
possible mixing concerns. The Canadian and the ECMWF continue to
develop a low along the front in the Middle Atlantic states on
Monday night before lifting the low into New England on Tuesday. The
solution seems reasonable based on the deepening mid level trough
over the eastern states and the unseasonably cool air mass. The GFS
appears to be a bit too late to the party, not really developing the
surface low until Tuesday morning in New England, although with the
14.12z run it appears to be stepping more in line with the other
guidance.

The mid level trough and the surface low are then expected to lift
away to our northeast, allowing high pressure to arrive from the
west for Wednesday with drier but continued cool weather.

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

.Rest of the afternoon... Front will pass the terminals through
the evening. South to southwest winds 10 to 15 kts with gusts in
the 20 to 25 kt range preceding the front will shift to West or
Northwest behind it. Scattered showers and tstms will accompany
the front. As before, kept mostly VFR in the TAFS with lower
conditions in a tempo group centered around expected fropa time.
MVFR VSBYS (or perhaps CIGS) with tstms. medium/high confid.

.Tonight... Improvement to VFR after showers tstms end the
evening. West to Northwest winds 5 to 10 knt. Decreasing clouds
overnight. High confid.

.Friday... VFR. Mostly clear skies. West winds 10 to 15 kts
becoming Southwest during the afternoon. High confid.

Outlook...

Saturday...Mainly VFR. Afternoon and evening showers may
briefly reduce conditions to MVFR/IFR. Southwest wind increasing
to 10 to 15 knots with gusts of 20 to 25 knots, becoming west
late in the day. Medium to high confidence.

Sunday...VFR. Northwest wind 10 to 15 knots with gusts of 20 to
25 knots. High confidence.

Monday...Mainly VFR with increasing clouds. A chance of light
rain in the afternoon. Northeast wind 5 to 10 knots, becoming
southeast. Medium confidence.

Monday night-Tuesday... Sub-VFR likely as a weather system
brings rain to the area. Easterly flow Monday night becoming
west-northwest on Tuesday. Low confidence.

&&

.MARINE...
Recent wind gusts across Delaware Bay have led me to issue a
SCA for Delaware Bay for the afternoon and early evening. Decent
gusts from the NW will follow the front.

Advisory conditions continuing through much of the daytime. Southerly
winds increasing to around 20 kts with gusts up to 25 kts and seas
4-5 feet. The winds will shift sharply to the northwest as a cold
front moves offshore late this afternoon or early evening. Showers
and thunderstorms are expected to accompany the frontal passage and
may cause locally stronger winds and seas. Any lingering showers will
diminish and move out to sea by around midnight or so. The winds will
diminish overnight to around 10 kts with seas 2-4 feet.

Outlook...

Friday through Monday...No marine headlines are anticipated,
though conditions could locally approach SCA criteria.

Monday night-Tuesday... Building seas associated with a coastal
low may bring SCA conditions on the Atlantic coastal waters.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A very dry air mass is forecast to build into our region for
Friday. Relative humidity values are expected to fall to near 20
percent in the afternoon. A south to southwest wind is
anticipated to increase to 10 to 15 MPH with gusts around 20
MPH, resulting in some fire weather concerns. We will see how
much rain falls this afternoon into tonight. Also, we will
likely coordinate with our fire weather partners at the state
level to see if any additional action will be necessary.

We are expecting showers on Saturday, mainly in the afternoon
and evening. However, breezy dry conditions will likely return
for Sunday and we may again need to focus on fire weather
concerns at that time.
