Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 917 PM EDT Sun May 5 2024

SYNOPSIS
An east to southeasterly flow off the Atlantic ocean will result in cloudy weather through Monday morning with areas of light rain and drizzle. A cold front will work its way through the region late Monday and Monday night. This boundary will become stationary over the area through the mid- week period. A series of disturbances will track along this boundary through the middle of the week. A stronger area of low pressure moves through the region on Thursday, followed by a cold front on Friday.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/
9:15 PM: Latest radar imagery shows that the main pocket of light rain has now moved off the coast. Some more blotches of light rain are now transversing their way into the Delmarva and portions of north Jersey. Elsewhere, just some mist and drizzle is occuring. The biggest change to the forecast this evening was to increase PoPs to slight chance or chance through early Monday to account for a trough approaching the area overnight.
Any shower development should relatively be scattered in nature.
A rumble of thunder still looks to remain possible with some elevated instability around as well, mainly south of Philadelphia. In addition, have also opted to include the mention of patchy fog in/around the I-95 corridor and points north and west. It will be a mild night, with lows in the mid to upper 50s/low 60s.

This is all part of a weak warm advection pattern overruning a very moist and cool marine layer will keep low clouds and light rain or drizzle for most locations through Monday morning.

Winds become southerly Monday morning ahead of a cold front that will usher an increasingly humid airmass into the region with surface dewpoints rising into the 60s. Any fog in the morning will lift and dissipate by midday. The cold front passes through the region Monday afternoon and Monday evening. Some shortwave energy passing through the region will help kick off widely scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms, mainly across the southern portions of the forecast area.

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/
Periods of unsettled weather are expected early in the week as a cold front will move to the south of the area on Monday night, then stall to our south into Tuesday, then begin lifting back north Tuesday night. Showers will be possible on Monday night near the front as it sags southward, but Tuesday may end up being dry for many areas since we will be north of the front.
There will still be a chance of showers and isolated thunderstorms for the southern third to half of the area later in the day as they will be closer to the front. On Tuesday night, the area with the greatest chance for showers and isolated thunderstorms shifts northward as the front lifts back to the north and short wave/vorticity impulse moves across the northern areas.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/
Unsettled weather continues for the second half of the week. On Wednesday, an area of low pressure will move our of the Great Lakes and into the northeastern states, eventually bringing a cold front to the area. After a round of showers and isolated thunderstorms early in the day Wednesday across the northern areas, much of the day into the evening hours could be mostly dry for many areas as the front stalls near the area. However, this dry weather will not last as showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected to increase later Wednesday night into Thursday and continue through Friday as multiple waves of low pressure move along the stalled boundary across the Mid- Atlantic region, before the final low and cold front move offshore of the Mid Atlantic coast Friday into Friday night.
Although the forecast has a chance of showers for next weekend, drier weather may return as high pressure could begin to affect the area.

AVIATION /01Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.

Tonight...IFR/LIFR ceilings expected at all terminals by 06Z with periods of fog and mist. Fog may become dense at times at KABE/KRDG. Light SE-S winds around 5 kt or less, becoming variable or calm at times. Moderate confidence.

Monday...Low ceilings in the morning should improve by 13-14Z to IFR/MVFR; potentially lifting to VFR in the afternoon at some terminals. Southwest winds around 4-9 kt. Moderate confidence.

Outlook...

Monday night...Areas of sub-VFR conditions with a chance of showers and thunderstorms.

Tuesday...Areas of VFR to MVFR conditions with a chance of showers and thunderstorms.

Tuesday night...Areas of IFR developing with showers likely with a chance of thunderstorms.

Wednesday-Wednesday night...Conditions may improve to VFR with a chance of showers and thunderstorms.

Thursday-Friday...Sub-VFR conditions likely with showers and possible thunderstorms.

MARINE
No marine headlines expected through Monday as seas will be 2 to 4 feet with winds from the east to southeast at 10 to 20 kt.
Periods of showers expected with a slight chance of thunderstorms early Monday morning.

Outlook...

Monday night-Friday...Conditions likely to remain below Small Craft Advisory levels for much of the period. Winds may gust around 20 knots at times, and seas may approach 5 feet Thursday night.

TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING
Approaching new moon middle of this week promises to bring very high astronomical tides. It will thus be very difficult to avoid at least some advisory level coastal flooding in some locations, and a few spots might hit moderate even with weakening onshore flow. Will continue to monitor, but coastal flood advisories look likely by late Tuesday.

PHI WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
PA...None.
NJ...None.
DE...None.
MD...None.
MARINE...None.
