The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.
A strong storm affected the mid-Atlantic and much of the Eastern Seaboard from January 16-17, 2022. A strong negative tilt trough over the Southeast US spurred strong cyclogenesis near the Carolina coast late on January 16. This low would proceed to quickly deepen as it moved northward that evening and night. Upper level steering patterns caused the low to take an inside runner track which kept the low center inland of the coast. A very strong easterly low level jet developed in between the strengthening low and a departing high pressure center to the north. With the center of the low tracking west of the region and an influx of marine air courtesy of the low level jet, various precipitation types occurred during this event. An Arctic air mass had been in place in advance of this system, but due to the aforementioned factors, that air mass rapidly modified on the 16th. As precipitation arrived, temperatures remained cold enough for it to begin as snow in most areas away from the coast. However, a rapid transition from snow to mixed precipitation to rain occurred in most areas within hours. Frozen precipitation held on for longer across the interior, where some higher snowfall amounts occurred. The storm departed the region by early on January 17.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
357 PM EST Sun Jan 16 2022
.SYNOPSIS...
A powerful winter storm will track northward and remain inland from
the Mid-Atlantic coast through tonight, then move into New England
and eastern Canada during Monday. High pressure then builds into the
region Tuesday into Wednesday followed by a cold front Wednesday
night into Thursday. High pressure then arrives Friday followed by
low pressure that may track nearby next weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
The biggest change with this update was to expand the winter weather
advisory to include Salem, Camden, Gloucester, and northwest
Burlington counties. These areas will likely see very little in the
way of snow accumulation, but there is increasing concern that there
will be a brief period of freezing rain about mid evening in these
areas which could result in brief slippery conditions.
The low continues to lift and as of 3 PM it appears (based on water
vapor satellite imagery) the mid level low is centered over far NE GA.
This will continue to lift northeast through tonight and by late
Monday morning should be north of our region. The precipitation
shield is extending well north, as light snow has already started
over portions of northern Delmarva. Potential hazards over the next
24 hours include strong winds, wintry precipitation, and coastal
flooding. For more information on the details:
Precipitation type: Aside from southern Delaware and SE NJ, cold air
remains in place to support snow for much of the region. With the
easterly/southeasterly flow in the low to mid levels, an elevated
warm layer is expected to quickly develop by early this evening. As
a result we will see a change over from southeast to northwest to
wintry mix, and (for most location) eventually all rain. The only
locations that may not see a change over to all rain are the
southern Poconos where cold air damming could keep a very shallow
below freezing layer at the surface. Continue to go slightly below
guidance for temperatures north and west of the fall through this
period to account for the potential of cold air damming.
Consequently, the forecast shows a slower transition in
precipitation type than what most of the guidance is depicting north
and west of the fall line. On Monday afternoon, another round of
(very light) precipitation is possible in the wrap around as the low
lifts away, but by this time, the elevated warm layer should have
eroded enough that it will be either snow or rain (no wintry mix
expected).
Snow and Ice Amounts: The main change was to expand the mention of
light ice amounts to include portions of SW NJ (where the winter
weather advisory was expanded), and slightly increase snow amounts
for the Lehigh Valley northwestward due to a slightly earlier onset
of snow, and slightly higher QPF during the evening hours. Although
the snow and ice amounts currently forecast in Carbon and Monroe
counties don't meet winter storm warning criteria or ice storm
warning criteria, we are concerned that the combination of ice on
top of snow (and windy conditions too) will cause significant
impacts for these areas. Looking at the Monday afternoon period, any
snow during this period should be light and should not add
significantly to the snow totals.
Wind hazards: Strongest winds are expected to come with the easterly
winds Sunday night into Monday morning. Expecting sustained winds
around 20-30 mph with gusts in the 40-50 mph range. The highest wind
speeds are likely to be along the coast. There remains some
potential for gusts near 60 mph along the central and northern NJ
coast, but given the likely very inefficient mixing due to the
robust inversion, think it is more likely to stay in the wind
advisory range. Interestingly, deterministic models show very strong
wind gusts, but suspect models are depicting much more efficient
mixing than what can occur with a strong inversion. Wind advisory
level winds are also possible on ridge lines in the southern
Poconos, but will cover this potential within the winter storm
warning. Attention then turns to Monday afternoon, when winds could
increase once again, across the region. Currently have close to wind
advisory for southeastern PA, northern Delmarva and SW NJ on Monday
afternoon, but will hold off on issuing a wind advisory for now, as
forecast is just below advisory criteria, and want to keep a simpler
message through the impacts tonight.
Timing: As mentioned, precipitation is already moving into the
region. The period for the heaviest precipitation looks to be from
mid evening through late tonight. The main change of note with this
forecast is that it appears the dry slot may be moving in slightly
faster than previously expected, so have decreased PoPs from South
to north quicker in the pre dawn/Monday morning hours. There should
be a lull in the precipitation late Monday morning for the vast
majority of the region, then there will be another chance for light
snow or rain Monday afternoon.
Temperatures: As the system lifts north, warm air advection will
result in temperatures rising for much of the region tonight into
early Monday morning, before falling again late Monday morning
through Monday afternoon in the wake of the occluded cold front.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Summary...Blustery conditions will ease with some milder air
arriving for Wednesday.
The axis of an upper-level trough is forecast to shift to our east
during Monday evening. Strong low pressure north of New England will
continue to track northeastward and weaken with time. There
could be a few snow showers Monday evening in the Pocono region
given favorable cold northwest flow. As the trough moves away,
some ridging starts to approach from the west during Tuesday.
This ridge looks weak however as the flow aloft is more zonal
for a time. This results in high pressure sliding across our
area later Tuesday before shifting offshore into Wednesday.
Blustery conditions Monday night will ease later Tuesday as high
pressure arrives, then warm air advection will allow for
moderating temperatures Wednesday.
The milder temperatures Wednesday will be ahead of an upper-level
trough amplifying into the Ohio/Tennessee valleys and adjacent
Canada. This will drive low pressure well to our northwest. Decent
forcing for ascent along and ahead of the front should result in a
band of showers approaching from the west late in the day Wednesday.
After a cold start Wednesday, many places should warm into the 40s
during the afternoon.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Summary...A period of bitterly cold air looks to return late in the
week and into the weekend; watching for a potential storm over the
weekend.
Synoptic Overview...An upper-level trough is forecast to amplify
into the East during this frame. A return to a much colder pattern
takes place with the passage of a strong cold front Wednesday night
into Thursday. As the trough continues to amplify more into the
East, low pressure may develop along the offshore baroclinic zone
with at least some guidance indicating the storm is close to the Mid-
Atlantic coast.
For Wednesday night and Thursday...The first in a series of
shortwaves amplifying eastward with time an upper-level trough will
drive low pressure well to our north. An associated strong cold
front however blasts across our area into Thursday morning. The
front looks progressive enough, however decent frontal forcing for
ascent works across our area and therefore a band of showers looks
to move through. These could be either snow or rain depending on the
thermal profiles. Temperatures will probably not recover much during
the day Thursday as cold air advection ramps up, with more
substantial cold arriving for Thursday night when temperatures
tumble into the teens to even single digits.
For Friday through Sunday...As the aformentioned upper-level trough
continues to amplify its way into the East, our sensible weather
will first be dominated by arctic high pressure centered across
southeastern Canada and New England. A rather cold air mass is
forecast to be in place, however incoming upper-level energy looks
to initiate a wave along an offshore baroclinic zone. There is
typically more uncertainty especially the details and timing this
far out, however the overall pattern looks to favor some sort of
cyclogenesis near or offshore of the East Coast over the weekend. We
continue to maintain some chance PoPs for now in the Friday through
Saturday time frame, however some guidance is slower with the storm
development and delays it until Sunday. A clipper system however
could then approach from the northwest Sunday which is tied to the
main axis of the upper-level trough. Overall, this time frame looks
to be cold.
&&
.AVIATION /21Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.
Rest of this afternoon...VFR ceilings lowering and becoming MVFR
toward evening. Some light precipitation is expected to arrive from
about PHL to ACY southward after 22z. Northeast winds around 10
knots. Low confidence on how quickly MVFR ceilings develop.
Tonight...MVFR to IFR ceilings. Precipitation overspreads the area
from south to north this evening and continues overnight some of
which will be moderate to heavy. Mainly rain at ACY and MIV; a brief
period of snow/sleet (perhaps freezing rain) at ILG, PHL/PNE and TTN
before changing to rain during the evening. For RDG and ABE, a
period of accumulating snow which then transitions to sleet then
freezing rain before changing to rain. Northeast to east surface
winds around 10 knots increasing to 15-20 knots with gusts to 25-35
knots for a time, then becoming southeast to south after 07z and
diminishing. Easterly winds at 1000-2000 feet above the surface
increase to 50-60 knots resulting in quite a bit of turbulence. Low
confidence on the timing details.
Monday...MVFR/IFR conditions in the morning, then most terminals
should improve to VFR in the afternoon. Some snow or rain showers
especially near and north/west of PHL through about early afternoon.
South to southwest winds around 10 knots, becoming west-southwest 15-
25 knots with gusts 30-35 knots by midday. Low confidence with the
details.
Outlook...
Monday night...VFR. Northwest winds 15-20 knots with gusts to
around 30 knots, diminishing late. Moderate confidence.
Tuesday...VFR. Northwest winds 10-15 knots with gusts up to 20
knots, diminishing some late in the day then becoming light and
variable at night. Moderate confidence.
Wednesday...VFR during the day, then a period of sub-VFR conditions
probable with showers. Southerly winds increasing to 10-15 knots
during the day, then becoming westerly and diminishing at night.
Moderate confidence.
Thursday...Sub-VFR conditions possible especially in the morning.
Northwest winds around 10 knots. Low confidence.
Friday...VFR overall. Northerly winds around 10 knots. Low
confidence.
&&
.MARINE...
Easterly winds will begin to build to gale force over the next
several hours. Expect easterly winds sustained around 30-40 kts with
higher gusts possible. A few storm force gusts up to 50 kts cannot
be ruled out, but confidence is not high enough to issue a Storm
Warning, thus the Gale Warning will remain in effect through
tonight. Seas building to 9-14 feet across the ocean waters and very
rough waters on Delaware Bay. The winds will become southerly in the
pre-dawn hours and diminish somewhat.
The lull in the winds will be short lived though as southwesterly
winds of 25 to 35 kt with gusts up to 40 kt will be possible by mid
day Monday.
Outlook...
Monday night...Gale Warning for all waters due to wind gusts up to
40 knots, with the winds diminishing some overnight. Seas 8-12 feet
(3-6 feet on Delaware Bay), subsiding overnight.
Tuesday...Small Craft Advisory conditions expected due to a gusty
northwesterly wind, then improving at night.
Wednesday...Small Craft Advisory conditions develop during the day
with increasing southwest winds, then conditions should improve at
night.
Thursday and Friday...Small Craft Advisory conditions possible.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
A full moon occurs on Monday. While the astronomical tides
associated with this full moon are not particularly high, it will
contribute to the potential for coastal flooding on Monday morning
as a storm system moves through the region.
Uncertainty remains high regarding the total water level forecast.
Onshore flow has developed, and will strengthen into tonight. By
tonight, easterly wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph are expected along the
coast. These winds will likely cause an unusually large but short-
lived surge of water to impact the coastline, on the order of 3 to 4
feet. If the arrival of this surge were to correspond to the time of
high tide, at least moderate coastal flooding would occur. Current
indications are that this surge will hit closer to the time of low
tide tonight in most areas. The surge will arrive a little later in
northern portions of the area. For that reason, the areas of
greatest concern are northern New Jersey coastal areas such as the
Monmouth County coast and Raritan Bay. With this afternoon's update,
we have upgraded to a Coastal Flood Warning for those two counties.
While confidence is lower than normal for issuing a warning, the
unusually large "boom/bust" potential appears to warrant a warning,
since only small errors in storm surge timing could lead to
significant changes in water levels at the coast. We have also
expanded the Coastal Flood Advisory to include the remainder of the
New Jersey Atlantic coast. Users are encouraged to closely monitor
the forecast for the Monday morning high tide.
In addition to the Atlantic coast, there is some potential for minor
flooding on Chesapeake Bay. While most model guidance is not
indicating much in the way of flooding there, the overall pattern of
this storm system is one which has caused coastal flooding on the
Chesapeake in the past. We are now forecasting some spotty minor
flooding on the Chesapeake on Monday, and the tidal forecast there
will continue to be closely monitored.
Water levels should quickly diminish by later Monday, with no
further coastal flooding expected. There is also potential that
strong northwest winds behind the storm could lead to concerns for
blowout tides by Monday night. This will also be monitored in the
event that low water products are needed.
