SYNOPSIS
High pressure holds dominant influence over the region into Sunday, then some unsettled conditions could return later Sunday and continue into Monday. High pressure may then build back in Tuesday.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/
An upper ridge and surface high to the west, across the Ohio Valley, will ensure another fair weather day across the region. A cool dry air mass will remain with a light North wind, so temperatures will top out near normal even with full sunshine today. A sea-breeze will push onshore later this afternoon, so readings within a few miles of the shore will be cooler. Highs for the most part will be low/mid 70s with some upper 60s across the southern Poconos.
Tonight, clear skies and light winds will be around, like Thursday night, so seasonably cool temps expected with upper 40s/low 50s most spots. Light winds. A little patchy fog across southern Delaware/NJ possible by dawn.
SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/
High pressure maintains control over the area through Saturday bringing a day of mainly sunny skies with seasonably warm temperatures and continuing low humidity levels helping make it feel quite comfortable. Winds will be light from the west to northwest and this should allow a seabreeze to develop along the coast by the afternoon.
The center of high pressure shifts south and east off the coast Saturday night through Sunday as a weak disturbance approaches from the west. This will bring increasing high cloudiness Saturday night with clouds thickening up through Sunday. By late day Sunday there could be some showers moving into portions of eastern PA and Delmarva eventually getting into NJ. However the timing on this is uncertain so POPs are generally around 30 percent or so. The clouds will keep it a bit cooler compared to Saturday but dew points will increase some so it will feel a little bit more humid. Generally expect highs ranging from the mid 70s to low 80s.
Chances for showers continue Sunday night as the deamplifying upper level disturbance moves through but overall this does not look to be a very impactful weather maker. Some embedded thunder will be possible over Delmarva but otherwise instability looks to be pretty limited.
LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/
The long range forecast continues to be a bit tricky as it's looking like the area will be situated between a stalled upper level low over the western Atlantic near the Canadian Maritimes and an approaching upper level trough from the west. This approaching upper level trough may take some time to reach the east coast, however, due to a blocking pattern that develops due to the stalled upper low. This could keep the area largely under the influence of upper level ridging through the first half of next week. That said, there will still be the potential for some pieces of upper level energy from the trough to sneak under the ridge helping trigger some showers and thunderstorms each day Monday through Wednesday. Not expecting a washout though for any of these days and generally speaking, POPs are only around 20 to 30 percent during this time frame. Expect highs generally in the low to mid 80s with dew points generally 60 to 65 which will make it feel a little bit humid but still not too bad.
Chances for showers and storms look to increase by the time we get to next Thursday and the main upper level trough finally starts to dig in over the area.
AVIATION /12Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.
Today
VFR expected. Limited amounts of daytime Cu/Sc with high pressure arriving. Northwest winds increasing to around 10 knots this afternoon. A sea breeze may affect winds at KACY by 20Z/21Z.
High confid overall. KACY winds - medium confid.
Tonight
VFR conditions expected with clear skies across the terminals. Northwest winds 5 to 10 knots this evening will become calm or less than 5 knots this evening. Patchy rural fog possible.
High confid.
Outlook...
Saturday through Saturday night...VFR.
Sunday...Sub-VFR cigs could develop for some sites by the afternoon due to some showers/storms.
Monday...Mainly VFR, though some sub-VFR cigs could linger.
Tuesday...Sub-VFR cigs could develop for some sites by the afternoon due to some showers/storms, especially for eastern PA TAF sites.
MARINE
High pressure situated well west of the waters today will arrive later tonight and remain into the weekend. Fair weather is expected both today and tonight. Winds will be mostly from the North today at 10 to 15 knots with a few gusts close to 20 knots. For Delaware Bay winds will be more Northwest. Northwest or West winds 5 to 10 knots are expected most areas tonight.
Outlook...
Saturday through Tuesday...No marine headlines anticipated.
Rip Currents...
For Friday, northwest winds 5 to 15 mph in the morning will veer and become southeast 5 to 10 mph in the afternoon.
Breaking waves will be 1 to 2 feet. With fairly light winds and shorter period swells, there will continue to be a LOW risk for the development of dangerous rip currents along the New Jersey and Delaware beaches.
Saturday will be very similar to Friday. Northwest winds around 10 mph will become southeast later in the day. Breaking waves will be 1 to 2 feet. This will once again result in a LOW risk for the development of dangerous rip currents along the New Jersey and Delaware beaches.
For specific beach forecasts, visit weather.gov/beach/phi
Rip currents occur often in the vicinities of jetties and piers. Utilize any guarded beaches if venturing out into the water.
