SYNOPSIS
High pressure continues to move offshore as a series of fronts and low pressure systems begin to affect the East Coast today through the end of the week. High pressure looks to return for the weekend and the start of next week.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/
Surface low pressure over the Great Lakes will continue to track to the north and east tonight. Meanwhile, a warm front extending out from that low will also continue to lift north through the region this evening. A secondary low will form over the southern Appalachians, will pass through Delmarva and southern New Jersey tonight, then will become nearly stationary offshore through Thursday.
The first wave of showers is moving through southern New Jersey.
Right around Cape May county, MUCAPE is around 500 J/kg, and there is some locally heavy rain and perhaps a rumble of thunder. Outside of that, MUCAPE is minimal, and showers are lighter. These showers should taper off in the next hour or so.
As the secondary low develops and moves across the southern portions of the forecast area, and showers will redevelop tonight. There will be a surge in low level moisture due to increasing onshore flow as well some some mid-level instability. MUCAPE values will rise back to as much as 500 to 1000 J/kg, and with a 30 to 40 kt LLJ, some additional thunderstorms are possible. Will cap thunder at chance across the region for the overnight period. Not expecting severe storms out of this, but a brief downpour and some lightning strikes can be expected.
With the low over the western Atlantic east of the New Jersey shore, onshore flow will keep rain, drizzle, and fog in the forecast for at least coastal New Jersey, and into northern New Jersey, and the eastern Lehigh Valley through Thursday. Elsewhere, it will be a cloudy and cool day.
Lows tonight will range from the low to mid 40s in the north to the mid 50s in Delmarva and highs on Thursday will generally be in the low to mid 50s, though it should be warmer in Delmarva, where it could get into the lower 70s.
SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/
Overall, the short term forecast remains largely unchanged. By Thursday night, the weak coastal low will be shunted south and eastward enough that surface high pressure can build in and briefly shutoff the chances for showers. Lows Thursday night look to fall into the 40s most everywhere across the region.
Following the brief respite from showers Thursday night, the next mid-level wave approaches the region on Friday. Latest guidance continues to indicate that the pre-existing high will be strong enough to hold off any precipitation through the morning. However, the approaching wave will eventually move in and bring yet another cold front across the region with the opportunity for more showers.
Chances for showers begin to increase Friday afternoon and look to peak Friday night. However, the front overall continues to look to be drier so chances for precip Friday night are now around 30-40 percent at most. Showers look to clear the region by late Friday night/early Saturday morning. Temperatures will rise into the upper 50s to low 60s during the on Friday before falling into the upper 40s to low 50s Friday night.
High pressure begins to nudge in on Saturday as the cold front moves offshore. With the exception of some lingering showers in the morning along the coast, everyone should be dry on Saturday with gradually clearing skies. Temperatures will get into the mid to upper 60s.
LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/
The back half of the weekend and into early next week looks rather benign as high pressure continues to settle in on Saturday Night with the front from Friday stalling to the south of the region. Long range guidance is continuing to suggest that a system will slide by just to our south Sunday Night into Monday along the boundary.
Depending on exactly how far south the front stalls, this would potentially allow a few showers to leak back into the most southern portion of the region Sunday Night. Most of the deterministic guidance and ensembles keep the weak area of low pressure far enough south for everyone to stay dry however, and no mentionable PoPs are currently in the forecast. High pressure begins to settle in for Monday/Tuesday with quiet weather anticipated. Another system looks to come in around mid-week with some showers, but guidance varies quite a bit beyond Tuesday.
With the front to the south of the region though, temperatures will likely be below normal through Monday, with highs in the upper 50s/low 60s and overnight lows in the upper 30s/low 40s.
Temperatures look to moderate for the middle of next week, with a return to near normal temperatures.
