Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
1015 AM EDT Thu Jun 8 2023
.SYNOPSIS...
Smoky and hazy conditions continue through the weekend as an
area of low pressure will continue to drift around New England.
A couple of troughs rotating around that low will result in
some scattered showers and thunderstorms Thursday and Friday,
High pressure will bring dry and warmer weather for the
weekend, followed by low pressure approaching from the west
later Monday or Monday night.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Morning satellite imagery shows the thickest smoke concentration
across mostly eastern New Jersey and our offshore waters. There
does appear to be a distinguishable back edge to this plume,
currently approaching the I-95 corridor as of 10AM. Visibilities
to the north and west of this have improved some to 3+ miles.
This correlates pretty well with the latest HRRR near surface
smoke run which does show improvement into this afternoon.
Regardless, the rest of the day will still feature hazy and
smokey conditions, and Air Quality Alerts remain in effect
through midnight tonight.
In addition to the smoke, an agitated cumulus field has
developed across southern MD and is pushing into our Delmarva
counties. RAP mesoanalysis does depict some instability down
there with 30+ kt 0-6 km shear, and some lightning has been
observed in the past hour. Hi-res guidance is still
highlighting this region for possible convective development
through this afternoon, so will continue to monitor. Otherwise,
forecast is still on track.
Despite the closed low remaining mostly stationary, there is some
hope through tomorrow both for improving smoke conditions and
chances for precipitation. The now vertically stacked low is
expected to only very slightly retrograde over the next 36 hours.
Currently it is centered over the Maine/Quebec border, but by mid
day tomorrow it may be as far west as the NY/VT state line.
Additionally, a pair of embedded short wave troughs are expected to
dig south on the back side of the main low (one later today and
another during the day on Friday). These appear to be the main
drivers for our rain chances through tomorrow.
On the mesoscale, a sea breeze is likely to develop today, and
another one may develop tomorrow. With the forecast, I've mainly
gone with the HRRR and RAP in trying to determine how far inland it
will reach today - which depicts it staying SE of the 95 corridor.
That makes sense that it won't go as far inland as typical with the
prevailing inland flow of westerly and northwesterly, but I'm not
sure if the smoke will play any role in this. For today, the sea
breeze will likely bring the best chance for rain (over the mid
level short wave trough) as dewpoints remain quite low (in the 30s
for some of the area!) so despite the lift with the trough, moisture
will be lacking except where the marine layer can advect in.
As the low retrogrades slightly, that may be enough of a shift in
the fetch to finally have modest moisture advection into the region
ahead of the next short wave trough on Friday.
That being said, forecast PoPs and QPF are lower than much of the
guidance as there has been a recent wet bias and I am concerned that
with the increased number of condensation nuclei due to the smoke,
any showers or storms that develop will be less efficient rainfall
producers than typical.
As for temperatures, went slightly below guidance average as during
the day today smoke may limit solar insolation. Guidance had a warm
bias with the temperatures this morning, so am concerned that will
continue with the low temperatures tonight unless the moisture
advection starts sooner than we currently expect. Highs are forecast
in the 60s and 70s and lows in the 40s and 50s.
&&
.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
With the upper level low just starting to drift to the east Friday
night we'll see another round of mostly northwest flow aloft and
some scattered showers passing through as yet another shortwave
ripples through the mid levels. Absent a significant wind shift from
the southwest or widespread rain, we'll still be under the influence
of the smoke from the Canadian wildfires so anticipate hazy skies
and reduced air quality.
There should be some reprieve from the smoke through the
weekend as the upper level low is forecast to start pushing to
the east. This will allow the winds to shift more from the
northwest to the southwest bringing a new airmass to the region.
Weak ridging sets up between the departing upper level low and
a cut off low that develops over the Great Lakes Sunday
afternoon. Warmer temps will push into the region with 850mb
temps between 8-10C across the region Saturday and then between
13-16C for Sunday. This supports afternoon highs on Saturday
warming into the upper 70s to low 80s and then upper 80s to near
90 for afternoon highs on Wednesday. Most of the guidance and
ensembles are holding the Philly metro under 90 on Sunday but
there's at least a 25% chance Philly is >=90 for Sunday
afternoon.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
The upper level cutoff low becomes more strongly developed overnight
on Monday and that should be final end of the smoke and hazy
conditions across the region. Along with the upper level closed
low will be an associated surface front that brings widespread
and much need rainfall to the region. PWATs increase to 1.5 to
1.8" by Monday afternoon and with decent DVA there's ample lift
for showers and thunderstorms. With the high PWATs and potential
forcing, WPC has already including the region in a marginal
risk for excessive rainfall. With as dry as its been, it should
be challenging to see much flooding however if the rain falls
quickly enough, its possible the rainfall would quickly turn to
run off rather than being absorbed by dry ground. The EFI isn't
super bullish on the event being outside norms for this time of
year with the data showing it being approximately a 50th
percentile event and not very different from climo.
Behind the front, heights start building with a drier and cooler
airmass expected to move over the region by the middle of next week.
Highs are anticipated to be near normal from roughly Tuesday onwards
with temps in the 80s.

.AVIATION /14Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.
Today (12Z through 00Z)...IFR visibility with smoke and haze
should improve to MVFR by late morning/early afternoon. The TAF
sites most likely to see the improvement are KACY and KMIV
if/when the sea breeze arrives at those sites. Isolated showers
and storms are possible across the region, but have little
confidence in the coverage or the impact to any one TAF site, so
has been left out of the TAFs for now. N winds 5 to 7 kt in the
morning, becoming W around 10 kt with occasional gusts up to 20
kt in the afternoon. Sea breezes at KACY/KMIV will turn winds S
5 to 10 kt. There is a chance the sea breeze could work as far
inland as KILG and KPHL, but confidence in that is low. Low
confidence in the coverage of showers, timing of improving smoke
conditions, and the timing of the sea breeze.
Tonight...MVFR or VFR visibilities depending on how much the smoke
is able to clear out. KPHL, KILG, KPNE, and KTTN have a slightly
higher risk to see visibility restrictions lingering longer, but
can't rule it out at the other TAF sites as well. Ceilings in the
7000 to 10000 ft AGL range. Winds light and variable especially in
the vicinity of the sea breeze through the evening, but the
direction should favor NW or W for much of the night.
Outlook...
Friday...Should see some improving conditions with respect to
smoke and haze, however, could see temporary visibility and
ceiling restrictions from mid morning onward as chances for
showers and storms increase. Winds N or NW 5 to 10 kt for much
of the day. Another chance for a wind shift to S or SE due to a
sea breeze, especially at KACY and KMIV, but confidence is low
at this time. Moderate confidence on the overall pattern, but
low confidence on timing details especially with regards to the
sea breeze and shower and storm development.
Saturday...VFR. West-northwest winds around 10 kts, with gusts up to
20 kts. Winds decrease to around 5 knots at night. Moderate
confidence.
Sunday...VFR. Winds gradually become more southerly through the day
around 10 kts. Moderate confidence.
Monday...VFR possibly lowering to MVFR late in the day in the
form of reduced ceilings in rainfall. Southerly winds 10 to 15
kt with gusts over 20 kt possible. Low confidence.
&&
.MARINE...
We are expecting to see some improvement with regards to the smoke
conditions by mid day, so have kept the marine dense smoke advisory
through 11 AM for the NJ Atlantic Coastal waters.
Otherwise, winds and seas are expected to remain below Small Craft
Advisory conditions through Friday.
Outlook...
Friday through Saturday...No marine headlines expected. Winds
generally south-southwest 5-10 kt. Seas of 1 to 3 feet.
Sunday and Monday...SCA conditions possible. Winds SSE 10-20 kt,
possibly gusting to 25 kt by Monday. Seas building to 3-5 ft.
Rip Currents...
Today...There is a LOW risk for the development of dangerous
rip currents for the New Jersey and Delaware beaches. NW winds 5
to 10 mph in the morning will turn S around midday due to
afternoon sea breezes. Breaking waves 3 to 4 ft with a 5 to 7
second easterly swell.
Friday...There is a LOW risk for the development of dangerous
rip currents for the New Jersey and Delaware beaches. E winds 5
to 10 mph in the morning will turn S around midday due to
afternoon sea breezes. Breaking waves 3 to 4 ft with a 5 to 7
second southeasterly swell.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
For Thursday, forecast relative humidity values will fall to
around 25-30% across the area, though winds will hold around 10
mph. Some scattered showers are possible across southern New
Jersey and Delmarva, though widespread precipitation is not
expected.
&&
.PHI WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
PA...None.
NJ...None.
DE...None.
MD...None.
MARINE...Dense Smoke Advisory until 11 AM EDT this morning for
