SYNOPSIS
A weak system approaches for tonight into Monday. High pressure moves in on Monday Night remaining in control through early Wednesday. An upper level low then will move into the Great Lakes, keeping things unsettled into next weekend.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/
A weakening shortwave approaches into tonight, rotating around the backside of an upper level low over the north Atlantic. This will bring some scattered showers and perhaps a garden-variety rumble of thunder, but nothing to write home about. So far, light radar returns have produced sprinkles at best in some isolated areas as the air below the cloud layer remains quite dry. As the column saturates more into tonight, more of this activity should begin to reach the ground. Chances for showers increase to around 30-50% for most of the area after midnight, except a bit higher (around 60 percent) over portions of Delmarva and far southern NJ, where the best chance for thunderstorms overnight are also located. Expect lows mostly in the mid 60s.
A few lingering showers and an isolated thunderstorm across southern NJ and southern Delmarva will clear out shortly after daybreak Monday morning with a dry period from mid morning through early afternoon. Another shortwave will pivot around an offshore upper low across the region. Any cloud cover lingering early in the morning will scatter out through the remaining morning hours and into the early afternoon for much of the region, allowing for modest destabilization ahead of this shortwave.
Hi res guidance shows MUCAPE values around the 1000 J/kg range by the afternoon, and perhaps more notably DCAPE increasing to near 1000 J/kg as well. With dewpoints in the 60s, the ingredients are there for a few scattered showers and thunderstorms to develop by mid afternoon. With the dry mid- level air, convective initiation (CI) will likely fail early in the afternoon. However, modest low-level moisture and continued CI attempts in persistent areas should eventually support some isolated to scattered convection by mid to late afternoon (3 PM onward). There will be some surface confluence across the coastal plain, which should be a focusing mechanism for CI, and will likely result in the greatest coverage/strength of convection in this area as well. The severe potential with these storms, however, will remain on the low end with deep layer shear being rather lackluster in the afternoon around 20 kts at best. Nevertheless, the higher DCAPE and mid-level dry air could support some downbursts with any more robust cells that are able to develop. With PWAT values in the 1-1.5 inch range, a few good downpours may be possible with a stronger storm, but any flooding concerns will be very localized and brief. High temperatures are forecast to reach the mid 80s in most areas with scattered cumulus clouds following any lingering morning clouds.
SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
We dry out Monday Night through Tuesday as high pressure nudges in from the north. With the high positioned just offshore, an onshore flow will develop which will result in temperatures in the low to mid 70s near the coast, with upper 70s/low 80s elsewhere. Tuesday Night should be dry, though the high begins to retreat offshore. Clouds will increase through the night as the next system approaches. Lows will drop into the upper 50s/low 60s.
A shortwave approaches for Wednesday ahead of a large upper level low swinging down from Canada. This will result in some showers and isolated thunderstorms moving through, primarily in the afternoon and evening. Looking at some of the ensembles and deterministic guidance, there really isn't a strong signal for any severe weather as instability looks meager. The same goes for any shear. Thinking the day will be mainly cloudy, with some periods of rain with some rumbles of thunder mixed in.
Temperatures will be in the upper 70s/low 80s.
LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/
Long term period will be marked by unsettled weather due to a closed low moving into the Great Lakes region and meandering through the weekend. This will result in numerous shortwaves rounding the base of the closed low and moving towards our region with several associated frontal systems passing through and an unsettled end of the week and weekend.
The strongest shortwave looks to approach on Thursday, with an associated cold front moving through sometime late in the week.
Both the 00z and 12z guidance continues to speed up the timing of the initial from to come through more towards Thursday morning. This would limit the severe potential, compared to if the front come through later in the day. Overall, the signal for severe weather isn't overly strong given the instability currently forecast does not look that impressive. Out ahead of the front, widespread showers and embedded thunderstorms look to develop. Wednesday Night/Thursday time frame has the highest rain chances (around 60-70%). Outside of that window, generally expecting scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms, mainly in the afternoon/early evening timeframe of Friday through Sunday. PoPs for those days are only around 20-40%, so it is fair to call it unsettled but not a total washout as the upper level hangs around.
Temperatures will hover near or perhaps a touch below normal for early June for the long term period.
AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.
Tonight...Clouds lowering, but remaining VFR through at least 03-06Z. Some brief restrictions possible overnight as some showers move in along with lower cigs and the potential for some patchy fog as well, though confidence on this occurring is too low to include a TAF mention. Winds generally SW around 5 knots or less. Moderate confidence.
Monday...Prevailing VFR conditions with scattered clouds.
Chance (30%-50%) of a shower/tstm after 18Z. Brief period of sub- VFR conditions possible with a stronger storm. Moderate confidence.
Outlook...
Monday Night...Primarily VFR. Some patchy fog possible (20-30%)
at KACY/KMIV.
Tuesday through Tuesday Night...VFR. No significant weather.
Wednesday...Primarily VFR though showers/isolated thunderstorms arriving late in the day could bring some restrictions.
Wednesday Night through Thursday...Restrictions likely (70-80%)
with widespread showers and scattered thunderstorms moving through.
Thursday Night through Friday...Conditions should lift back to VFR at some point but lingering showers/isolated thunderstorms could result in further restrictions.
MARINE
No marine headlines anticipated through Monday. S to SSW winds 10-15 kts may briefly gust up to 20 kts this evening before diminishing to 5-10 kts by Monday morning where they will linger through the rest of the day. Seas 2-3 feet. A few showers and thunderstorms possible tonight and Monday afternoon.
Outlook...
Monday Night through Wednesday...No marine headlines expected.
Fair weather.
Wednesday Night through Thursday...SCA conditions possible (30-40% chance) with gusts nearing 25 kt. Periods of showers and thunderstorms likely.
Rip Currents...
A LOW risk for the development of rip currents is in place for Monday and Tuesday. While winds turn partially onshore for Monday and then fully onshore for Tuesday, wind speeds will be around 10 MPH, with continuing 1 to 2 foot waves and short to medium period which keeps the overall risk for rip current development low.
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.
