Version 3.4 |
3/3/2018 - There is a new GOES Satellite for the east coast that required rewriting that part of the code. Please report any issues. 6/25/2017 - NOAA is having a major issue that impact the 7 day forecast load times. Many users are reporting problems. The issue has been reported. 5/23/2017 - Worked with NOAA again to speed up the 7 day forecast load times. Thanks to them for being responsive. |

(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus61 kphi 210814 afdphi area forecast discussion national weather service mount holly nj 414 am edt Sat apr 21 2018 Synopsis High pressure over the great lakes builds east today, and eventually moves offshore on Monday. Low pressure over the gulf coast states tracks to the east, and slowly impacts the mid- atlantic during the mid-week period. Another area of low pressure may affect the area at the end of next week. Near term until 6 pm this evening Main forecast concern is temperatures this morning, with current temperatures running about 2-4 degrees lower than forecast (locally more), as clear skies and light to calm winds have allowed for nearly ideal radiational cooling conditions. The favorable valleys and rural locations have tanked in the past hour or two temp-wise, with locations in the pine barrens already reaching freezing. Upgraded the frost advisory to a freeze warning given these trends (though one may question the effectiveness of such an upgrade so late in the night) for the pine barrens and zones north west of philadelphia (where temps 32-35 degrees are observed at this time). After this morning's chill, today should be a nice day, as northwesterly midlevel flow and building surface high pressure allow for dry conditions with temperatures just a little below seasonal averages. Winds should be a little lower today as the surface pressure gradient slackens with the approaching high. A 250-mb jet streak and accompanying vort MAX should provide some lift in the upper levels to allow for some increasing clouds. These may limit temperatures from climbing a degree or two, and i generally reduced highs by this amount today. Short term 6 pm this evening through 6 am Sunday Northwest midlevel flow will continue tonight as a surface ridge remains over the region. Some perturbations in the midlevel flow will approach the region by morning, but there is little lift with these perturbations. Other than some increased mid and upper-level clouds, not expecting much in terms of sensible weather impacts. This means that temperatures will once again be the primary forecast concern. Could see temperatures flirting with freezing again in portions of the area with the growing season underway, but tonight's environment will be a little less favorable. For one thing, if increased cloud cover is present, some radiation may be re-emitted to the surface (though the height of the clouds will not hamper nocturnal cooling as much as one may anticipate). This will be especially true in the southern cwa, but how far north these clouds persist may prove critical in how far temperatures fall in more susceptible locations such as the pine barrens. At this point, way too uncertain marginal to issue additional frost freeze products. My suspicion is that no additional products will be necessary. Long term Sunday through Friday High pressure over the area Sunday slowly drifts offshore Sunday night, and remains over the western atlantic ocean waters through Monday night before drifting offshore on Tuesday. Plenty of sunshine and mild, though temperatures will generally be a few degrees below normal during the day. At night, with clear skies and light winds, radiational cooling conditions will allow for colder conditions in the mountains and in the pine barrens of nj. During this time, low pressure over the gulf coast states will slowly track to the east, and will be over the southeast u.S by Tuesday evening. A warm front just southwest of the region lifts north through the region Tuesday night as the low tracks north along the coast. |
Though there are rain chances during the day Tuesday lifting from south to north, the best chances will be Tuesday night as the low lifts to the north. The low then slowly works its way north through Wednesday, will be south of long island Wednesday night, and departs on Thursday. Although there may be a period on Wednesday where locally heavy rain is possible at times, not expecting a prolonged period of widespread heavy rain with this system. Weak high pressure builds through the region late Friday and Friday night. Another cold front approaches on Saturday. Temperatures during this time will generally be at or below normal levels for most of the week, but temperatures trend warmer towards the end of next week.
