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 644 AM EDT Fri May 3 2024

SYNOPSIS
High pressure builds into New England with onshore flow setting up.
A series of cold fronts approaches for the weekend, with the second (and stronger of the two) front stalling out nearby by early next week. The stalled front lifts north as a warm front at some point in the Tuesday/Wednesday timeframe, bringing a return to above normal temperatures.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/
The marine stratus never quite made it to the coast and moved onshore. Satellite images indicate a disturbance, perhaps an area of NVA as indicated by the NAM, washing out the marine layer as it approaches the coast. Some patchy fog has developed, but that should dissipate over the next hour or so.

The cold front has sagged south of Delmarva, and the cooler and drier airmass will also continue to sag south. Onshore flow should keep dew points up in the low to mid 50s along the coast and in the coastal plain.

High pressure builds into New England. Onshore flow will result in a much cooler airmass spreading into the region. Highs will still be a few degrees above normal, but much colder compared to Thursday, topping off in the mid to upper 60s for most of the region, and in the upper 60s to low 70s for far western portions of the forecast area. For coastal areas, onshore flow will keep temperatures in the 50s.

Low pressure approaches from the west tonight. Most of the region will remain dry as high pressure hangs tough along the coast, but some showers may move into far western portions of the forecast area prior to daybreak Saturday.

SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/
Not the best weekend ahead weather-wise but not necessarily terrible either. A weakening cold front will approach on Saturday, with some showers moving through ahead of it. Best chance to see showers will be west of the I-95 corridor, but can't rule out some light rain across the area. Otherwise, it will be cloudy and cool with a steady onshore flow. Temperatures will be in the upper 50s/low 60s. With the maritime airmass in place, not expecting much in terms of thunderstorms as it should remain rather stable.

Showers become more widespread by Saturday Night through Sunday Night as a stronger cold front approaches from the west. Highest PoPs are concentrated in the Sunday morning timeframe. Some elevated instability could move in for Sunday afternoon/evening but not expecting any severe weather, and just some rumbles of thunder mixed in with passing showers. The maritime airmass will continue to have a grip on the region, though flow turns a bit more southerly in southern Delmarva. The result will be another day in the upper 50s/low 60s for most, with upper 60s/70s in southern Delaware and along the southern Eastern Shore.

LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/
Unsettled conditions are expected for most of next week as a boundary stalls out over the region. Rain chances are in the forecast each day during the week as several waves of low pressure are expected to ride along the boundary. Each day won't be a washout by any means, and PoPs are generally around 20-40% Monday/Tuesday, with the highest coming in the afternoon. Not much instability will be present, with the threat of any thunderstorms/severe weather being low. Temperatures both days will be in the mid to upper 70s, with some 80s possible on Tuesday.

The boundary looks to lift north by Tuesday in the form of a warm front, putting the region in the warm sector. Looking at a period of above normal temperatures for Wednesday/Thursday with upper 70s/low to mid 80s anticipated. A few shortwaves will move through, which will spark off some showers and thunderstorms, mainly in the afternoon/evening both days. More instability will be present, so we will have to watch this window, though too early to tell if/how impactful any convection will be.
