(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus61 kphi 230620 afdphi area forecast discussion national weather service mount holly nj 120 am est Wed jan 23 2019 Synopsis Arctic high pressure across the mid-atlantic region will move offshore through tonight. Low pressure will move into the great lakes region Wednesday and then across quebec Thursday. The system's warm front will move through tonight into Wed morning followed by its cold front Thursday. High pressure will return for Friday and Saturday. A cold front will then cross the area Sunday into Sunday night with a coastal low potentially developing along this front and affecting the region by later next Monday into Tuesday. Near term until 6 am this morning 1230 am update: adjusted temperatures upward based on current observations in the pine barrens and rural areas northwest of philadelphia. However, temperatures were running too warm north of i-80, so adjusted these readings downward a few degrees. Differences appear to be associated with thickness of clouds and proximity to warm advection, which is now pretty much on the doorstep of the cwa. Also increased sky cover grids quite a bit the rest of the night given the increasing cloudiness observed via satellite. Previous discussion... the surface high has finally moved offshore with (initially) very modest pressure falls in its wake. Expecting rather light winds tonight until the southerly gradient increases tomorrow morning. Otherwise will continue to see mid-high clouds moving through the area ahead of a ne-propagating trough currently over the central plains. Lower clouds don't look to slide into the area from the e-se until tomorrow morning. Made some minor edits to t TD based on current obs, which entailed slightly lowering min temperatures in NW parts of the cwa where some snow cover remains to aid radiational cooling, while temperatures were slightly increased in other areas. Short term 6 am this morning through 6 am Thursday The big concern in the forecast Wednesday lies with the freezing rain drizzle potential across the northern portion of the cwa. The NAM has a stronger signal for this to occur, whereas the GFS is a bit warmer drier. Not overly confident of what will end up transpiring. The large-scale lift associated with a subtle midlevel perturbation moving through the region during the day is weak, at best, and there are some questions as to how quickly the low levels will moisten sufficiently for any precipitation to occur. Bufkit soundings are quite variable model to model, and the overall appearance of the more aggressive models is for (near-)saturation generally at below the 700-mb level. This suggests any precipitation will be light and liquid. Would not be surprised if little more than drizzle occurs northwest of the fall line through the day. Of course, the other question will be surface temperatures, with statistical guidance appearing much too warm much too quickly. The typically colder NAM (raw) model output was favored here, which slows the warming temperatures north of i-78 considerably during the day. So far, this has worked well for temperatures early this morning in these areas (especially the poconos and far northern new jersey). With the above in mind, have slight chance for (light) freezing rain starting late this morning. It doesn't appear that this will make it much further south than the lehigh valley at this point, as surface temps will be likely be above freezing by the onset of precipitation southeast of the fall line. The window for near-freezing temperatures in the lehigh valley is quite short, with temperatures well above freezing likely by mid afternoon. The best potential for a longer duration of near- freezing temperatures remains in carbon and monroe counties, where a winter weather advisory is already in effect. Confidence is too low for expansion elsewhere given questions regarding precipitation coverage, onset versus marginal (and warming) surface temperatures, and overall model variability. Tonight the main forecast question is how quickly the steadier rain moves into the area, with overall consensus suggesting a slower onset. Generally, increased pops from northwest to southeast through the period, with timing matching a consensus hi-res blend. The main period of precipitation looks to start after midnight, possibly reaching the atlantic coast as late as daybreak. Kept temps on the colder side for today's highs, given the cold air over the past couple days, and the overall tendency for it to stick around in these scenarios longer than simulated. Also, bumped temps up a touch across DELMARVA to account for the stronger warm air advection trend through the day. As it stands, highs should range from the mid 30s across the poconos to the low 50s across southern delaware. Winds will pick up through the day, with gusts above 25 knots possible along the coast and over DELMARVA by evening. Given the southerly flow and warm air advection, lows Wednesday night will likely not deviate much from Wednesday's highs, with a warming trend possible through the period. Long term Thursday through Tuesday Wednesday night through Saturday... main story continues to be another moisture laden low that will bring more heavy rainfall Wednesday night into Thursday. Overall, models in pretty good agreement with just some minor timing differences of a few hours. As far as the details, low pressure will move northeast from ontario into quebec Wednesday night into early Thursday dragging a cold front toward the area by 12z Thursday. By early Wednesday evening any lingering ice in the southern poconos looks to be quickly changing to rain. Otherwise light rain continues to overspread the region west to east through the evening in the warm, moist advection pattern on the east side of the system. As a result, temps will actually continue to rise through the night. The concern for heavier rain arrives in the 6-12z time frame as the cold front approaches from the west reaching close to the western borders of the CWA by the end of the period. Very strong LLJ will develop in the warm sector with winds in the 850-925 mb reaching 70- 90 knots by morning. This will help to pump in pwats around 1.25 |
inches... Quite high for this time of year! Also some indications there will be some elevated instability. For these reasons expect plume of moderate to heavy rain will affect eastern pa overnight ahead of the front with this affecting the i-95 corridor and points s E by the 9-15z time frame. The rain looks to be heavy enough to pose a threat for urban, small stream, and poor drainage flooding, especially along the i-95 corridor. A general 1 to 1.5 inches of rain with locally up to 2 inches appears likely with this system but much of this could fall within a period of 6-8 hours. In addition to the short fused flood threat as the heavier rain moves through rises on rivers will occur with some points potentially exceeding flood stage later Thursday into Friday... Especially across the raritan and passaic basins. By the midday Thursday time frame (roughly 15-19z) cold front looks to sweep through bringing an end to rain with temperatures falling off during the afternoon. However the drop doesn't look to be as fast as what we saw with the recent system so not seeing a flash freeze threat. Expect morning highs generally in the 40s to mid 50s (coolest north, warmest south) with temperatures dropping about 10 degrees from these values by late afternoon. Following the system, mainly dry but colder conditions move back in for Thursday night and Friday lasting through Saturday as the next high moves in. Temperatures look to be several degrees below average but not as cold as the recent cold blast. Sunday through Tuesday... lots of uncertainty in this period. In the big picture, a long wave trough will remain present over eastern north america with a closed low at 500 mb persisting around hudson bay. Several potent pieces of energy look to move southward eastward around this trough towards the coast potentially phasing with southern stream energy. Given the strong baroclinic zone that will be developing along the east coast at this time if this occurs it could result in a significant east coast storm system developing. Model differences continue regarding this pattern but in general, most of the operational models have back off a bit. Meanwhile though, a couple of the GEFS ensembles with both the 0z and 12z runs show a significant east coast storm by the Monday Tuesday time frame. Given this uncertainty, kept low chances for rain snow in each day during this period with temps forecast to be roughly near average. Aviation 06z Wednesday through Sunday The following discussion is for kphl, kpne, kttn, kabe, krdg, kilg, kmiv, kacy and surrounding areas. Rest of tonight...VFR with light south winds. High confidence. Wednesday... GenerallyVFR, though CIGS will be lowering and may reach sub-vfr thresholds northwest of philly by mid to late afternoon. Cannot rule out some drizzle or showers at rdg abe as well. Winds generally south around 10 kts. Llws increases from the southwest rapidly this afternoon. Moderate confidence. Wednesday night... Conditions will be deteriorating gradually to sub-vfr and may reach ifr or worse near after midnight. Rain chances increase from northwest to southeast, especially after midnight. Winds south around 10 kts, possibly gusty near the coast. Southwesterly llws anticipated through the night. Moderate confidence. Outlook... Thursday... Lower CIGS and vsbys with rain and fog. Ifr lifr possible. Gusty winds and llws possible during the morning. Thursday night thru Saturday... MainlyVFR. Saturday night and Sunday... Cold front may bring restrictions with rain snow showers. Marine A southerly flow develops through tonight and increases, especially late tonight and during Wednesday. As a warmer airmass gradually overspreads the area, an inversion will strengthen in the lower levels and even lower with time. This will limit the overall mixing with time, however the low-level wind field will also strengthen. The soundings show the potential for gusts to around 25 knots especially from midday on across the ocean zones. The increasing southerly flow will also build the seas quite a bit by the end of the day. As a result, a small craft advisory has been issued for the ocean zones starting mid-morning Wednesday. Low confidence for delaware bay during the day, therefore no advisory for this time frame. Outlook... wed night thru thu... SCA conditions expected with a period of gales possible overnight Wednesday night into Thursday morning. . Rain and fog. Thu night thru Fri night... SCA expected with northwest flow behind system.
