Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 936 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/
935 AM...High pressure to our north over eastern Canada has resulted in an easterly flow over the area and this has been advecting some marine stratus westward through the coastal plain into parts of eastern PA just within the past couple hours. As of mid morning, this stratus has worked about as far west as Northeast Philadelphia (PNE) and could even make it a bit farther west through the late morning before starting to retreat for a time this afternoon. Due to this trend we've generally increased sky cover in the forecast with the mid morning update as we also still have some cloud cover that will be arriving from the west by later today.
The onshore flow has also resulted in a much cooler airmass spreading into the region. Highs will be 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.
AVIATION /14Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.
Today...Low stratus will bring restrictions through the day at ACY where it's likely to stay IFR through the early afternoon before lifting to MVFR. MIV, TTN, PNE, ABE, and even PHL also likely to see at least times of MVFR cigs through early this afternoon due to the stratus having advected westward just within the past few hours this morning. Moderate confidence on the overall trend but low confidence regarding how far west the MVFR cigs make it around the greater Philadelphia area.
Tonight...VFR for most of the night for most of the terminals, lowering to MVFR at KACY/KMIV late. E winds 5 to 10 kt. Low confidence.
Outlook...
Saturday...Mainly VFR. Some MVFR restrictions possible later in the day especially at KRDG/KABE.
Outlook...
Saturday Night...Restrictions expected with steady rain moving through, with CIGs as low as IFR possible.
Sunday...Restrictions expected with showers/low clouds moving through. CIGs as low as IFR possible.
Sunday Night...Restrictions possible with 40-60% chance of showers and 15-25% chance of thunderstorms.
Monday through Tuesday...Primarily VFR though some restrictions possible with any showers. 20-40% chance of showers through this period.
MARINE
A tightening easterly pressure gradient will develop on the waters today, and E winds will increase to 15 to 20 kt with gusts up to 25 kt for most NJ and DE ocean waters. Seas will build to around 5 ft.
Will go ahead and hoist a Small Craft Advisory for all ANZ451-455 from 8am to 4pm. Sub-SCA conditions for DE Bay today and tonight.
Sub-SCA conditions for the ocean tonight.
Patchy fog expected on the ocean waters today and tonight with 1 to 3 NM VSBYs.
