(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus61 kphi 200856 afdphi area forecast discussion national weather service mount holly nj 456 am edt Wed mar 20 2019 Synopsis High pressure along the atlantic seaboard will lift to the northeast and out to sea today. A cold front approaches from the west on Thursday, and low pressure will develop over the mid- atlantic. The low lifts along the coast Thursday, and then into the gulf of maine Thursday night. The cold front passes through the region on Friday. High pressure builds back in from the west on Saturday and moves offshore on Sunday. Another cold front will pass through the region early next week. Near term until 6 pm this evening One more nice day before diminishing conditions move into the area tonight into Thursday. High pressure at the surface will continue to push out to sea today, which will allow return flow to develop across the area. Temperatures will be a few degrees warmer than Tuesday, while dewpoints start to increase later in the day. Dry weather will continue through the day, although cloud cover will increase through the day north of a developing low pressure offshore of the carolinas. Short term 6 pm this evening through 6 am Thursday The low pressure offshore of the carolinas this afternoon will begin moving inland as it drifts northward overnight. A weak surface trough will swing across the mid atlantic region as the lifts northward, while a couple of short wave vorticity impulses move across the area overnight. This will lead to increasing chances of rain through the overnight hours. Temperatures may be cold enough across the poconos at the start of the precipitation for some light snow to develop. We are not expecting much if any accumulation at this time, less than an inch if any at all. Long term Thursday through Tuesday Cold front ahead of a deep upper trough moves though the great lakes and into the ohio valley Thursday. Low pressure over the mid-atlantic moves the chesapeake bay by Thursday afternoon, then across the DELMARVA peninsula and towards southern new jersey. The models seem to be taking a slower and more inland trend with this system. Thursday will feature rain moving in from south to north through the day, and rain may be heavy at times. A tight onshore pressure gradient will result in east winds 15-20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph for mainly coastal areas of new jersey and delaware. Low pressure lifts to the northeast Thursday night, and then the cold front swings through the region Friday morning. Rain ends after midnight Thursday night, and then there will be a round of showers passing across the region Friday afternoon associated with the passage of a strong shortwave. Another shortwave passing north of the region may result in snow showers for the poconos Friday evening. Low pressure intensifies over eastern canada Friday and Friday night, and forms a tight pressure gradient with high pressure building in from the west. West-northwest winds will range from 15-25 mph with 25-35 mph gusts, and the gusty winds continue into Saturday. A wind advisory may be needed Friday evening through Saturday. Temperatures will be in the 40s and 50s Thursday and Friday, and the strong CAA will result in highs in the 30s and 40s on Saturday. By Sunday, low pressure over eastern canada moves out to sea, and high pressure from the west dives off the southeast u.S. Return flow sets up, and temperatures warm back up into at least the 50s on Sunday, though models may be on the cool side, and it could get back into the 60s. Low pressure passing north of the area will drag a cold front through the region early in the new week. Showers possible Monday through Tuesday, though there is inconsistency among the models, so confidence is low as to timing and even ptypes. Will carry chance pops for now and see how models trend going forward. Aviation 09z Wednesday through Sunday The following discussion is for kphl, kpne, kttn, kabe, krdg, kilg, kmiv, kacy and surrounding areas. Today...VFR conditions expected for all TAF sites through today, although clouds will increase later today. Light and variable winds will increase out of the south to southeast later this morning and into the afternoon. An occasional gust around 15 knots could occur later this afternoon as well. Tonight...VFR conditions start the night tonight, although clouds will increase and lower through the night. MVFR, possible ifr conditions likely to develop and spread northward later in |

MVFR ifr conditions develop during the day in rain fog low clouds. East winds around 10 kt, though 15-20 kt with gusts up to 30 kt possible at kmiv kacy. Thursday night... MVFR ifr conditions in rain fog low clouds. Nw winds around 10 kt. Friday... MainlyVFR conditions, but sub-vfr conditions in scattered showers. NW winds 15-20 kt with 25-35 kt gusts. Friday night-Saturday... GenerallyVFR, though MVFR in scattered snow showers possible Friday evening at krdg kabe. NW winds 15-20 kt with 25-35 kt gusts. Saturday night-Sunday... VFR conditions continue with winds shifting to west and diminishing to around 10 kt with gusts below 20 kt. Marine Conditions expected to remain below advisory levels for today and tonight, although winds and waves begin to increase later tonight north of a developing low pressure system to our south. Outlook... Thursday... East winds increase to 15-20 kt with 25-30 kt. Seas build to 4-6 ft. Vsby restrictions in rain fog. Thursday night-Friday... Small craft advisory conditions likely with gale force winds possible late Friday. Friday night-Saturday... Nw winds 20-30 kt with 35-40 kt gusts. Winds may start to diminish Saturday afternoon and especially into the evening, possibly to SCA levels. Seas should run generally 4 to 6 ft. Saturday night-Sunday... Trend will be for diminishing winds with a gradual shift from northwesterly to westerly. Sca conditions should linger for the first half of Saturday night before dropping to sub-sca. Seas diminishing to 2 to 4 ft by the latter half of Saturday night and into Sunday. Tides coastal flooding Developing low pressure will move up the east coast on Wednesday and Thursday. The low will pass over new jersey Thursday night before lifting towards eastern canada. An onshore flow will develop ahead of the low from Wednesday into Thursday. Tidal departures will increase at that time. The high tide Wednesday evening should not pose any problem. It is possible that there could be some spotty minor flooding with the high tide Thursday morning. The main focus is on the Thursday evening high tide. Tidal departures of +0.8 to +0.9 feet would begin to create minor flooding at that time along the coasts of new jersey and delaware, along delaware bay and on the tidal delaware river. Departures of greater than +1.0 foot would produce some noticeable impacts on the coastal tidal communities in our region, with some roadway flooding. Also, moderate to heavy rainfall could worsen any roadway and poor drainage area flooding. Based on the present forecast, a coastal flood advisory may be needed for the Thursday evening high tide. Once the low moves away to our northeast, an offshore wind will develop and the potential for minor coastal flooding will come to an end. Phi watches warnings advisories Pa... None. Nj... None. De...

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
