Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 636 AM EDT Thu May 9 2024
SYNOPSIS
Several waves of low pressure affect the region with the unsettled patterned continuing from today through Sunday. High pressure builds south of the Mid-Atlantic region Sunday night into Monday. More unsettled weather could impact our area Tuesday night into Wednesday as a storm system approaches the area.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/
630 AM...No major forecast changes with this update. A complex weather pattern continues to unfold across the eastern U.S.
this morning. An initial area of low pressure is moving out to sea east of New England with its trailing cold front having pushed into southern Delmarva. This front then extends back to the west to the next area of low pressure over Illinois. Showers and thunderstorms are ongoing near and ahead of this next low and are affecting areas to our south and west into the Carolinas and Virginia.
As we go into the day today, low pressure tracks east to east-southeastward toward Virginia with some showers starting to move into the area by around the late morning to early afternoon time frame and then continuing off and on for the remainder of the day. These showers will be associated with the remnants of the convection currently ongoing to our south and west. Given that the forecast track of the low has shifted southward, this will limit the threat of severe weather over our area as the front will remain hung up near Delmarva. It's still possible a few stronger storms could affect Delmarva this afternoon into this evening but even here it looks like any instability will be mainly elevated tending to limit the threat.
Farther north over eastern PA into adjacent portion of NJ, there may not even be any thunder due to lack of instability.
The clouds and showers will keep it much cooler today with east to northeast winds north of the front. Generally expect highs in the upper 60s to low 70s with low to mid 60s right near the coast and over the southern Poconos.
As we go into tonight, rain/showers should actually become more widespread and steadier as the upper level trough that's been driving this unsettled weather shifts eastward towards the coast increasing PVA over the mid Atlantic. This will result in the surface low tending to get hung up just south and east of DE helping keep the rain/showers going. There could be some embedded thunder but mainly over Delmarva. The precipitation may also be moderate to occasionally heavy although we don't expect there to be much in the way of hydro concerns. Overnight lows range from mid 40s north to low/mid 50s south.
Friday is definitely shaping up to be quite unsettled and cool with periods of rain continuing as the upper level trough will be very slow to translate eastward through the area. This will keep a surface trough over the mid Atlantic even as the center of low pressure starts to track out to sea. Brisk winds out of the east/northeast will add to the rawness of the day with most areas seeing highs only in the low to mid 50s and the southern Poconos likely not getting out of the 40s.
SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/
Unsettled weather will continue for the Friday night through the Saturday night time frame though a brief respite from the shower chances will occur during the early part of Saturday. PoPs remain in the 35-45 percent range Friday night as the low continues to move offshore but by early Saturday, the low looks to be far enough away that conditions should be mostly dry regionwide. Lows Friday night will be mainly in the mid-upper 40s and highs Saturday will warm back into the low 60s.
By later in the day Saturday though, the next wave of low pressure will arrive out of the Great Lakes, increasing chances for showers, particularly northwest of the I-95 urban corridor.
Showers continue to move into the region Saturday night (PoPs 45-55 percent) with lows again in the mid-upper 40s.
LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
Unsettled weather continues to end the weekend with showers possible into Sunday. The low tracking across the region will begin to push offshore early Sunday but showers may continue to linger for much of the day.
A brief period of dry weather is expected later Sunday and Sunday night, and continuing into Monday as high pressure briefly builds to the south of the Mid Atlantic region. This dry weather will only be brief as chances will begin to increase Tuesday night into Wednesday as a storm system approaches from the southwest.
AVIATION /12Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas...
Today..Mostly cloudy with cigs lowering with time and some showers moving in by afternoon. However it should stay VFR throughout the day with lower cigs at MVFR levels holding off until this evening. Winds generally east to northeast around 5 to 10 knots. Moderate confidence.
Tonight...Rain/showers becoming heavier and steadier with some patchy fog likely as well. Cigs lowering to MVFR through the evening with IFR cigs likely overnight. East winds around 10 knots. Moderate confidence.
Friday...Rain/showers continuing with conditions remaining IFR likely through at least the first half of the day with some improvement to low MVFR possible by afternoon. East to northeast winds around 10 knots with some gusts to 15-20 knots.
Moderate confidence.
Outlook...
Friday night-Sunday...Sub-VFR conditions probable (50-60 percent chance) at times through the period with chances (40-50 percent) for showers.
Sunday night-Monday...VFR conditions expected.
MARINE
Conditions will remain below Small Craft Advisory levels through today though expect some showers moving in over the waters by this afternoon.
Rain/showers become more widespread over the waters tonight with winds and seas starting to ramp up from north to south. A Small Craft Advisory begins overnight for our northern ocean zones with these conditions spreading into our southern ocean zones off the coast of southern NJ and DE Friday morning. The conditions should remain sub SCA over the Delaware Bay.
Outlook...
Friday night...Small Craft Advisory in effect for Atlantic Ocean coastal waters. Seas of 5-6 feet expected with winds gusting 20-25 knots. Sub-SCA conditions on the Delaware Bay.
Saturday through Monday...Overall, mainly sub-SCA conditions expected through the period though seas may linger around 5 feet during the day on Saturday.
TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING
The new moon occurred Tuesday, May 7th, and this is resulting in high astronomical tides. As a front settles to our south, an onshore flow will develop and strengthen some through the end of the week, peaking Friday into Friday night. While the astronomical tides will be gradually lowering as we get farther away from the new moon, the onshore flow should boost the surge at least some. With this combination, widespread minor tidal flooding is again expected with the high tide tonight into early Friday morning for the Atlantic coastal zones, the Delaware Bay, and the tidal Delaware River. As a result, another round of Coastal Flood Advisories have been issued for these areas.
With the peak onshore flow leading up to the Friday night high tide cycle, guidance continues to show moderate tidal flooding for portions of the coastal areas in the southern half of the region with this high tide cycle. The most likely locations to see moderate coastal flooding will be along the coasts in Atlantic, Cape May, and Cumberland counties in New Jersey, and Kent and Sussex counties in Delaware. Given that there is still some uncertainty, opted to go with a Coastal Flood Watch for these areas and further examination will be needed to determine if these areas will need to be upgraded to a warning or to an advisory for Friday night.
The Friday night high tide cycle looks to be the peak of the coastal flooding potential but additional minor coastal flooding is forecast with the evening/overnight high tide Saturday night into early Sunday.
Flooding is not expected at this time for our Maryland zones along the Chesapeake.
