Synopsis for the coastal waters from sandy hook nj to fenwick island de and for delaware bay - High pressure lingers through the remainder of the day, before a series of fronts and low pressure systems affect the east coast Wednesday through the end of the week. High pressure looks to return to end the weekend and start the new week.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 530 AM EDT Tue May 14 2024

SYNOPSIS
High pressure remains positioned offshore today. Unsettled weather returns tonight and persists through Thursday as a slow moving low pressure system passes by to our south. Weak high pressure returns on Friday, before another period of unsettled weather impacts the Mid-Atlantic region this weekend into early next week.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/
At 5 am, temperatures across the region were in the 40s and 50s. High clouds were draped across our southern zones and some fog was evident on satellite across our northern zones

Increasing clouds can be expected today with about average afternoon highs. Isolated to scattered showers are possible this afternoon with the best chances closest to sunset and mainly west of the I95 corridor.

I slowed the progression of showers into the forecast area in my earlier update and also added a chance of thunder this afternoon across our western zones where CAPE should be the greatest.

Winds today will be from the south to southwest in the 5 to 15 mph range.

For tonight, showers become more widespread. I kept thunder in the forecast into this evening, but took it out overnight. Clouds thicken and lower, especially the second half of the night. Lows will be in the 50s and winds will be out of the southeast at 5 to 10 mph.

Rainfall amounts across the region by Wednesday daybreak should range from a few hundredths north to two to three tenths down over the Delmarva.

SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/
An upper trough near the Tennessee Valley on Wednesday will work its way east over the Mid-Atlantic on Thursday and offshore by Thursday night. At the surface, a weakening low over Tennessee will translate its energy into a developing coastal low along the Carolinas on Wednesday. This new low is then forecast to meander off the East Coast through much of Thursday. However, the positioning of where this low will track and eventually meander varies greatly between broader-scale and hi-res model guidance. GFS/ECMWF guidance keeps the low on a more coastal approach, whereas the NAM/HRRR and other CAMs keep the low further south and east.

Regardless of the positioning of the low, our entire area is forecast to remain on the northern side of the system. As a result, onshore flow wrapping the low will result in frequent chances for rain Wednesday and Thursday. Due to the southeast trend in short- range guidance, have backed off on PoPs northwest of the I-95 corridor compared to previous forecast. The higher PoPs are now found across the Delmarva and New Jersey which are in closer proximity to the low. Have also removed the mention of thunder as all instability will be found either well south of the area or offshore.

The meandering low begins to pull away late Thursday allowing rain chances to decrease into Thursday night as dry air begins to filter in. However, shower chances will likely remain along the coast as flow becomes northeast off the ocean. So while most areas dry out Thursday night, there likely will still be some spotty shower activity along the coast.

Highs on Wednesday and Thursday will mostly be in the 60s with some 70s possible northwest of I-95 on Thursday. Low temps are expected to be in the mid to upper 50s.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/
The long term period starts off quiet on Friday as upper ridge builds overhead and temporary surface high moves by. This will result in Friday being mostly dry. However, what happens after Friday is quite uncertain as there is high variability in the timing of the weekend system. At this point in time, the general consensus for the some of the ensembles is for showers to return as early as Friday night. However, this is completely different from the majority of the GFS ensembles which delay the onset of precip until late Saturday. Given the vast uncertainty and differences between ensembles, the forecast is strictly basis the National Blend of Models (NBM) for Friday night and beyond. This yields a chance of showers and possibly a few thunderstorms during the weekend period.
Eventually, a cold front will sweep across the area and push any shower activity offshore. This doesn't look like it will happen until at least Monday, so while most of the weekend does look to be unsettled, it may not entirely be raining the entire time. Temps are expected to be below average for Friday and Saturday, returning closer to average by Sunday, and possibly above average into early next week depending on the timing of features.
