Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 708 PM EDT Thu Apr 25 2024
SYNOPSIS
High pressure builds across the Middle Atlantic region tonight then moves offshore Friday. A warm front attached to low pressure over the Great Lakes moves by Saturday. Highs pressure returns for Sunday and into next week. Another low and front arrives for Tuesday.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/
Forecast is on track this evening. Only minor tweaks were made to the grids
Previous full discussion follows
A weak shortwave trough now pushing offshore this evening will keep some scattered to broken mid-level clouds around through the early evening. An unseasonably cool and dry airmass has settled into much of the area as high pressure is building to our northeast. High temperatures in the mid 50s were some 10-15 degrees below normal. The cloud cover should gradually diminish into the night, then mostly clear skies are anticipated for the overnight period.
High pressure will continue building to the north overnight with the gradient slacking off considerably after midnight or so.
With drier and cooler airmass in place, the mostly clear skies and light and variable to calm winds should maximize radiational cooling, particularly across interior portions of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Have kept the forecast leaning heavily toward the coldest guidance and even adjusted down a degree or two from there in the typical cold/sheltered locations across the coastal plain and NW NJ.
The result is near to sub-freezing temperatures and widespread frost development for much of our Pennsylvania and New Jersey zones away from the immediate coast and outside of urban Philadelphia. Therefore, the Freeze Watch was upgraded to a Freeze Warning in these areas. For urban Philadelphia and points southwest into Delmarva, temperatures are forecast to fall well into the mid 30s away from the immediate coast. This is expected to result in areas of frost development given the light to calm winds and clear skies. A Frost Advisory was issued to highlight this threat. Can't rule out some interior portions near the MD/DE border dropping to near freezing, but any freezing temperatures will likely remain isolated enough to preclude a Freeze Warning there. Inland Cape May County and coastal Monmouth County were also included in the Frost Advisory, as winds should become calm enough for a time overnight to result in some frost development nearer to the coasts there.
For Friday, the high pressure across New England will begin to shift offshore. East to southeast winds will increase to near 10 mph across much of the area, keeping a relatively cool maritime airmass entrenched across the region. However, we will see some modification of the airmass compared to today, so temperatures should warm into the low 60s across most areas away from the coasts which will stay in the 50s. Expect mostly sunny skies and a cool breeze much of the day.
SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/
A transition from early springlike temperatures Friday night to early summer readings by Sunday. An upper ridge will build across the area thru the period and as this happens, low pressure moves by to the north, bringing a warm front thru on Saturday. There will be plenty of clouds around, but chances for rain are low Saturday (slight chance) and only chance levels for Sat night.
The most favored areas for the showers are the Southern Poconos, Lehigh Valley and north NJ.
Mild and dry weather will be around for Sunday. Following the warm front, a deep southerly flow will arrive over the area, so increasing warmth and humidity is expected. Highs Sunday will be in the upper 70s/low 80s in most spots, but cooler near the shore and up across the Poconos.
LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/
There are not many changes for the long term with todays forecast.
Very warm temperatures for late spring will remain in place as the upper ridge starts out across the East late this weekend. Gradually, this ridge weakens and allows more scattered shortwave energy to arrive across the area. For Tuesday and into Wednesday, a cold front will approach the area and the weaken as it moves thru. So, for the period from Sunday night thru Monday night, a dry forecast is in place.
Tuesday/Tuesday night will feature some scattered shower/tstm activity and after that, only widely scattered showers are expected for the midweek and into Thu.
Well above normal temps for Sunday/Monday with highs in the upper 70s/low 80s Sunday and then some 5 to 7 degrees warmer for Monday.
There will be more clouds and showers for Tue, but highs in the 80s are still expected. Humidity levels will increase into the new week with dew points rising to the upper 50s/low 60s for many areas.
AVIATION /23Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas...
Tonight...VFR. Southeast to east winds 5-10 kts early diminishing by 06Z to less than 5 kts favoring an east/northeast direction. Winds may become locally calm. High confidence.
Friday...VFR. East to southeast winds increasing to near 5-10 kts. High confidence.
Outlook...
Friday night/Saturday... VFR expected.
Saturday night... VFR except in a few scattered showers mostly KRDG/KABE/KTTN when some MVFR is possible.
Sunday and Monday...VFR conditions anticipated.
Tuesday... Mostly VFR but scattered showers with lower conditions possible.
MARINE
Seas will remain elevated near 5 feet through tonight south of Little Egg Inlet before gradually diminishing overnight. Have cancelled the SCA for waters off of Ocean County as buoy and ship observations show sub-5 foot seas. The Small Craft Advisory remains in effect until 4 AM Friday for the Atlantic zones south of Little Egg Inlet. No additional hazards are expected through Friday with east winds 10-15 kts and seas 2-4 feet.
Outlook...
Friday night through Tuesday... Winds and seas will remain below SCA criteria through the period. Fair weather expected.
FIRE WEATHER
RH values will be in the 25-30% range tomorrow. However, with winds so low, around 10 MPH or less, the threat for the spread of wildfire remains low. The overnight shift will take another look and coordinate with partners to see if any statements are needed.
