Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
510 PM EDT Sun Sep 3 2023
.SYNOPSIS...
Extensive high pressure to our southwest and south should
continue to influence our weather into the mid week period. A
surface trough is forecast to develop to the lee of the
Appalachians late in the week. A cold front is expected to
arrive from the northwest next weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
The main story through the near term will continue to be the
building heat. The mid and upper level ridge will continue to
inch closer to our region, resulting in the warming trend
continuing.
A mid level embedded short wave trough will dig southeast
across our region. It is not as deep a trough as what we saw
Saturday night. That being said, given the rain reports we had
Saturday night, and a signal in some of the CAMs for precip,
have included a mention of sprinkles during the late overnight
hours. For most though, there will be little impact other than
increased clouds.
Given high 850 mb temperatures, forecast deep mixed layer and
the larger scale subsidence, stayed close to the previous
forecast for high temperatures tomorrow. Expected to range from
the mid 80s to mid 90s. As has been the trend, undercut the
model blend of dewpoints which has a tendency to be too high in
these deep mixed layer cases. That brings us shy of any heat
advisory criteria at this point, but in some cases are only a
few degrees shy of criteria (primarily in the urban corridor).
Of note though, the NAM is depicting a much shallower mixed
layer than any of the other models. For now this is the outlier,
so didn't factor it in to the forecast.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A mid level ridge is forecast to remain to our west on Monday
night with a mid level low well off Nova Scotia. A short wave
trough traveling in the cyclonic flow to our northeast and east
is anticipated to bring a weak surface boundary southward
through our region on Monday night. The feature should not have
much moisture associated with it. As a result, a few clouds and
no precipitation are expected.
The axis of the mid level ridge will likely arrive over the
northeastern states on Tuesday and remain in place into
Wednesday. The pattern is forecast to bring continued hot dry
weather. A prevailing northwest to north surface flow should
help to keep the humidity from rising significantly. High
temperatures will be generally about a dozen degrees above
normal on both Tuesday and Wednesday at most locations. Maximum
temperatures mainly in the lower and middle 90s, with dew point
readings in the middle and upper 60s, should keep peak heat
index values in the middle and upper 90s, just below Heat
Advisory criteria.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
The mid level ridge is forecast to begin passing off the coast
and out to sea on Thursday, with a short wave trough reaching
the Great Lakes. The short wave is anticipated to get absorbed
into a long wave trough gradually advecting over eastern Canada,
the Great Lakes and the northeastern states for next weekend.
Temperatures will likely begin to return toward normal, and
perhaps a bit below, in the Friday to Sunday time frame.
A surface trough is expected to develop to the lee of the
Appalachians late in the week. A cold front is then forecast to
approach from the northwest and it should make its way through
our region around Saturday evening.
We will indicate a chance of showers and thunderstorms in at
least some parts of our area from late Thursday into Saturday.
Presently, it appears as though the cold front and its
associated precipitation will move off the coast in time to
allow for a dry Sunday.
&&
.AVIATION /21Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.
Through Tonight...VFR conditions expected. some diurnally
driven clouds between 4 and 5K Ft AGL possible through 00Z, then
late tonight, may see mid level clouds between 10 and 15k FT
AGL. Winds should predominately be out of the west (slight
variations between WSW and WNW). However, a sea breeze is
possible through 03Z near the coast, including KACY and possibly
KMIV which could bring a temporary shift to S winds. Wind
speeds should stay less than 10 kt. High confidence.
Monday...VFR. West/Northwest winds around 5-10 kt. Another sea
breeze may develop in the afternoon with S winds, though unclear
if it will reach as far inland as KACY and KMIV. High
confidence.
Outlook...
Tuesday...Mainly VFR. Wind generally north to northwest 5 to 10
knots. The sea breeze front may reach KACY and KMIV in the
afternoon. Medium to high confidence.
Wednesday...Some early morning visibility restrictions are
possible, otherwise mainly VFR. Wind generally north to
northwest 5 to 10 knots. The sea breeze front may reach KACY and
KMIV in the afternoon. Medium to high confidence.
Thursday...Some early morning visibility restrictions are
possible, otherwise mainly VFR. Southwest to south wind around
10 knots. Medium to high confidence.
Friday...Some early morning visibility restrictions are
possible, otherwise mainly VFR. A chance of afternoon and
evening showers and thunderstorms. Southerly wind increasing to
10 to 15 knots. Medium confidence.
&&
.MARINE...
Winds and seas are expected to stay below Small Craft Advisory
criteria through tomorrow.
Outlook...
Monday night through Friday...No marine headlines are
anticipated.
Rip currents...
Through Labor Day, a westerly wind will diminish some tonight
and then turn southerly especially during Labor Day. Wave
heights offshore still right around 4 feet, and there continues
to be a long period (10-12 second) swell component on top of the
longer period main wave group. Given the continuation of the
longer wave periods, this will keep waves in the surf zone on
the rougher side and thus a HIGH risk for the development of
dangerous rip currents is maintained for both the Delaware and
New Jersey beaches.
For Tuesday, a long period swell should still be in place and
winds will be onshore with wave heights a little lower. Given
some uncertainty on how much the longer period wave/swell groups
will be dominant, for now went with a MODERATE risk for the
development of dangerous rip currents for the Delaware and New
Jersey beaches.
