SYNOPSIS
An area of low pressure tracks by to the north Tuesday night into Wednesday. This will be followed by a stronger area of low pressure moving across the region Thursday. This low will track east of the area Friday with additional upper level disturbances tracking through the area this coming weekend. A warmer, drier pattern looks to return early next week.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
One of the nicer afternoons we've had the last several days. There are pockets of stratocu and a few showers south, but for the most part, there's a good amount of sunshine. At the time of writing this, dewpoints were running mainly in the 50s (60s across Delmarva)
with most air temperatures in the 70s. But with ocean waters still in the 50s, it was definitely cooler at the beaches/waterfront.
The first half of tonight will be different then the 2nd half. The majority of us will start off dry as low pressure pivots around the Great Lakes. As the associated warm front reaches the area, showers will commence. The heaviest and most widespread will be north of about Philadelphia. We can't rule out a rumble of thunder, though instability is relatively meager. Rainfall amounts up to a third of an inch are anticipated. Overnight lows will be in the mid 50s to lower 60s.
For Wednesday, the showers (and maybe a thunderstorm) associated with the warm front will be moving out in the morning. For most of us, it will be the first part of the morning. Clouds will diminish in the afternoon allowing temperatures to rise. Wednesday's highs will be the warmest of the week, with temperatures ranging from the upper 70s well north and west to the mid to upper 80s south away from the cooler waters.
It will be a bit breezy with south winds gusting in excess of 20 mph.
There could be some isolated afternoon showers/storms developing, but these would be few and far between as it should otherwise be dry through the latter part of the day.
SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/
A fairly busy/active weather pattern persists across the area through the short term period.
For Wednesday night, one low pressure system moves out to sea as it passes east of New England with a new low starting to move into the midwestern states. This will eventually push a warm front towards the area by Thursday morning which could start to bring in some showers/storms towards sunrise across eastern PA and Delmarva.
Thursday is shaping up to be more unsettled as this next area of low pressure referenced above moves across the region bringing more widespread showers and storms. That said, there is still a lot of uncertainty on the track of this system which will have implications both on the high temperatures and the severe weather threat. Model consensus maintains a low tracking eastward near Delmarva which would limit how far north the warm front gets. Deep layer shear will be quite strong meaning anywhere near and south of the warm front will have a heightened severe weather threat Thursday afternoon into the evening but right now the most favored area looks to be over Delmarva and southern NJ. The Storm Prediction Center has a Marginal and Slight Risk for severe weather across this region. This could change, however, if the system and its warm front tracks farther north. Currently expect highs Thursday ranging from the upper 60s/low 70s north to the mid/upper 70s south but again, this is contingent on the track of the low. With an overall slower trend with the system, showers/storms could last through a good portion of Thursday night although any severe weather threat should diminish through the nighttime hours with the loss of daytime heating.
On Friday surface, our earlier low pressure will track east of the region while an upper level trough axis lags behind and pushes through the mid Atlantic. This will keep chances for showers in the forecast, especially north (POPs ranging from around 40 percent south to 70 percent north), under generally overcast skies. It will also be cooler with highs mostly in the upper 50s to mid/upper 60s.
LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/
In the big picture, the weather pattern will remain on the unsettled side through the weekend as a long wave upper level trough lingers in the east. This should be followed by a drying trend into early next week. Heading into Saturday, chances for showers diminish, as the initial shortwave trough moves out and shortwave ridging builds in briefly for a time. However by late day the next disturbance will be approaching and this could bring some more showers back into the region, especially over eastern PA. So we keep the mention of shower chances in the forecast but POPs are generally only in the 20 to 30 percent range. Expect highs mainly in the 60s under a mix of sun and clouds so certainly not a washout. A better chance for showers arrives by Sunday as the next shortwave trough swings through (POPs 40 to 60 percent) and there will also be more in the way of cloud cover.
Finally by early next week it should start to trend warmer and drier as the upper trough moves out and the flow over the east becomes more zonal.
AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas...
Tonight...MVFR/IFR conditions redeveloping with low clouds and patchy fog after 06z. Some showers expected after midnight with the heaviest and most widespread from about Philadelphia north. South winds 5 kt or less. Higher confidence on the evolution of overnight, but lower confidence in the timing and extent of restrictions.
Wednesday...MVFR/IFR conditions in the morning with some remaining showers. VFR developing in the afternoon. Moderate confidence.
Outlook...
Wednesday night through Sunday...Sub-VFR conditions favored at night in fog/mist and stratus, while VFR conditions overall during the day for most days. Chances for SHRA/TSRA throughout the period with sub-VFR conditions. More widespread SHRA with scattered TSRA Thursday afternoon and evening.
MARINE
Tonight...Sub-SCA conditions expected. S winds 5 to 10 kts. Seas 2 to 3 ft.
Wednesday...Sub-SCA conditions expected. S winds 10 to 15 kt with a few gusts up to 20 kt. Seas 2 to 3 ft.
Outlook...
Overall, sub-SCA conditions through the period. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will result in locally higher wind gusts and seas, with biggest impacts coming on Thursday afternoon and evening.
TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING
Tidal ranges increasing this week as the new moon arrives this evening. Limited onshore flow means that there won't be much in the way of serious flooding concerns, but still widespread minor tidal flooding is expected with the high tide this evening for Atlantic coastal zones, the Delaware Bay, and the tidal Delaware River. A Coastal Flood Advisory has been issued for these areas. Another round of minor coastal flooding is likely for these areas with the high tide cycle Wednesday night.
Flooding is not expected for our Maryland zones along the Chesapeake.
