Area Discussion for - Philadelphia/Mount Holly, PA
  (on/off)  Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definitionFxus61 kphi 201738 afdphi area forecast discussion national weather service mount holly nj 1238 pm est Wed feb 20 2019 Synopsis A complex area of low pressure and frontal system will move north through the eastern united states bringing the area a mix of wintry precipitation today into tonight. High pressure will build into the area for Thursday and Friday. Strong low pressure moving across the great lakes should bring mostly rain to the region for much of Saturday and Sunday. High pressure is forecast to return early next week. Near term through tonight 1230 pm: the morning round of enhanced frontogenesis lift is winding down. Expect that we will see a period of relatively light precipitation through the afternoon, before we have another round of moderate to heavy precipitation this evening. As for precipitation type, sleet is beginning to mix in in southern delaware. As warm air aloft continues to advect in, we should see the line of a sleet mix move further north. Later this afternoon, as the elevated warm layer becomes deeper and the bottom of the layer gets closer to the surface, freezing rain becomes more of a threat for areas that may still be below freezing. For DELMARVA and southeastern nj, expect the change over to wintry mix to continue for the next few hours, followed by a change over to all rain mid afternoon. For much of the i95 corridor, the transition is expected to occur mid afternoon to early evening (unfortunately not likely to see a change over to all rain in these locations before the start of the evening commute). The southern poconos and NW nj will be the last to see the change over to all rain, which may not come until well after midnight tonight. Snow and ice amounts: with this update, adjusted snow amounts up slightly primarily near the md pa de border which has been the prime location for frontogenesis lift for the last few hours. Now have storm total amounts of 4 to 6 inches; already 2 to 3 inches has fallen in some locations. No changes to the ice amounts with this update. For much of the rest of the area, it still looks like a general 2 to 4 inches. Areas south of here will see amounts mostly in the 1 to 3 inch range. Additional concern is freezing rain. A light glaze up to a few hundredths of an inch of ice accretion is likely over the northern delmarva n E along the i-95 corridor while upwards of one to two tenths of an inch of ice is expected over portions of eastern pa from western chester county north through berks county, the lehigh valley into the southern poconos. Impacts: regardless of the exact snow and ice amounts, we remain very concerned that much of the region could be seeing the greatest impacts coincident with the evening commute. The one exception is much of the DELMARVA and SE nj which should see the change over to all rain before this time. Even if the snow and ice amounts are lower, the potential for ice on top of snow, could result in very slippery conditions. Short term Thursday Quieter weather on tap for Thursday. The last of any precip (which will be in the form of rain showers) will come to an end in the early morning as a weak cold front behind the low clears the delmarva. Otherwise expect developing sunshine, breezy, and mild conditions as low pressure moves into the canadian maritimes and high pressure moves into the midwest. Highs will range from the mid 40s over the southern poconos to the low to mid 50s for areas near and S E of the i-95 corridor. Long term Thursday night through Tuesday 4 am update... Overall, no major changes to the long range forecast. Quiet weather looks to persist through Friday before the next system, mainly a rainstorm, affects the area over the weekend. Do have some concerns that there could be some strong winds on the back side of this system for late Sunday so we increased the winds for this time period. Previous discussion: mid- upper-level ridge is forecast to build over the eastern u.S., while another shortwave trof begins to eject out of the southwest. Winds aloft become southwest and begin to bring increasing cloud and moisture into the mid- atlantic. Light precip is forecast to develop and spread northeast into the area on Saturday, or possibly late Friday night in delmarva. Confidence in the time of arrival is relatively low, and any rain amounts on Saturday should be light. Temps should be warm enough to avoid any sig snow or ice with this event. Saturday night looks more favorable for significant rain as uvv and warm advctn increase ahead of the upper trof and deepening sfc low, both moving northeast into the great lakes. A warm front is forecast to move north through the area early Sunday resulting in mild temps and more showery precip in the sfc low warm sector during the day. A cold front passage late in the day should end the precip. High pressure is expected to build into the area early next week, bringing fair wx an a return to near normal temps for late feb. Aviation 18z Wednesday through Monday The following discussion is for kphl, kpne, kttn, kabe, krdg, kilg, kmiv, kacy and surrounding areas. |
Wednesday... Ifr snow will spread sw-ne through the terminals between 14-17z. A transition to sleet freezing rain is likely at all terminals around 20-22z, with all terminals outside of kabe krdg transitioning to rain by around 00z (although ifr ceilings will persist). Generally east-southeast winds below 10 knots. Moderate confidence in precipitation type timings. Wednesday night... Lingering freezing rain at kabe krdg likely transitions to rain around 03-06z, all other terminals will see rain with ifr ceilings. Rain tapers off w-e after about 06z, although ifr-MVFR ceilings and potentially lowered visibilities in mist likely persist after rain ends. Winds generally light with llws possible after 06z. Moderate confidence outlook... Thursday... MVFR or lower conditions are possible in the morning, improving toVFR by the afternoon. Winds becoming W nw between 10-15 knots with some gustiness. High confidence. Friday...VFR conditions with northwesterly winds under 10 knots. High confidence. Saturday... GenerallyVFR conditions early but possibly lowering to MVFR in the afternoon. Light southeast winds. Saturday night... Widespread MVFR ifr conditions expected in rain and fog. Variable winds mostly less than 10 kt. Moderate confidence. Sunday... Conditions should improve toVFR MVFR but lower at times in showers. South winds becoming gusty and shifting to west late in the day. Low confidence on timing. Marine Winds seas increase today with SCA conditions likely by this afternoon and continuing tonight over the coastal waters. Also expect some visibility reductions in snow, sleet, and rain today into tonight. Outlook... Thursday... Marginal SCA conditions possible as seas hover near 5 feet and west winds gusts to around 20 knots. Friday Saturday... Seas winds dipping below SCA by early Friday morning with sub-sca conditions prevailing through Saturday. Sunday... SCA conditions possible in gusty SW winds and building seas. Tides coastal flooding Northeast flow turns east to southeast and increases today as low pressure approaches from the south and west. The higher of the two high tide cycles will occur this morning, when departures should be around 1 2 foot above normal. Minor coastal flooding thresholds may be touched in some spots this morning, but not anticipating widespread minor coastal flooding advisory. Although locally minor coastal flooding cannot be ruled out, do not think it will be widespread enough to warrant a coastal flood advisory. Elevated tides may continue into Thursday morning.
