SYNOPSIS
High pressure will remain in control of the weather through tonight.
A low pressure system and cold front will pass through Friday and Friday night. The weekend will start out mostly dry on Saturday but will become increasingly more unsettled for Sunday and into the middle of next week.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/
The forecast remains mostly on track with the evening update...

Surface high pressure centered to our south will continue to influence our region through tonight as it moves further eastward offshore. However, with time, surface low pressure currently centered over TX/OK will look to move northeastwards.
With this low pressure system forecast to swing northeastwards through MO/IL tomorrow, some precipitation chances will be brought to region tomorrow afternoon onwards.

Conditions for tonight will continue to be quiet overall. Light SW/SSW flow will dominate with winds even looking to go calm/light and variable for some locations after midnight. Some high cloud cover will continue to work through this evening before skies become clear for most areas after midnight. With clear skies and light/calm flow in the forecast, efficient radiational cooling is likely to occur. Lows will fall to the upper 20s/low 30s.

Cloud cover will build in tomorrow morning rather quickly, PoPs looking to be in the forecast by tomorrow afternoon. The overall trend from guidance (i.e., decreasing PoPs overall with higher chance PoPs occurring later) is continuing. Given this, will include mainly chance PoPs for much of the region after 1PM. Mainly likely PoPs for much of the region is included 4PM onwards. Precipitation experienced by the region overall during the period will not be impactful at all. At best, 0.10-0.15 inches of rainfall can be expected.

SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/
Rain will continue Friday night into early Saturday as warm air advection and Gulf of Mexico moisture associated with a weakening shortwave moves through the area. It'll remain cloudy for the rest of Saturday with the low still to the north and a few weak fronts crossing the area. It will be mild with highs from the mid/upper 50s for the N/W areas and low 60s most other areas. A cold front will move through Sunday night but will be preceded by scattered showers and possible thunderstorms Sunday.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/
The long term period of the forecast looks to be unsettled though there remains quite a bit of uncertainty beyond early next week.

Rain showers will gradually decrease across the region Sunday night into Monday as a cold front crosses the region. A rumble of thunder or two cannot be completely ruled out, particularly closer to the coast. However, model guidance generally depicts only a few hundred joules per kilogram of CAPE and any instability that does exist will drop off as we head through the overnight hours. Chances for showers increase again for Monday with the passage of a mid-level shortwave with high pressure building to the south of the region for Tuesday.

Heading into the mid-week, the upper-level pattern remains progressive. Latest model guidance generally forms a consensus that another upper-level trough begins to develop and dig out of the midwest and move eastward towards the Eastern Seaboard. Associated with this deepening trough is a surface clipper system that quickly progresses out of the Great Lakes region and into the Mid-Atlantic during the middle of next week. This low then passes offshore and model guidance suggests that it will rapidly strengthen once it does so. However, uncertainty remains in how quickly the upper-level trough deepens and therefore, model guidance differs in exactly where and when the surface low may strengthen. As a result, PoPs for most of the long term beyond Tuesday remain around 20 percent or less.

Temperatures will begin above normal (highs in the 50s/low in the 40s/30s) to start the long term period then fall back to near normal to slightly below normal (highs in the 40s/low in the 20s) for the middle of next week.

AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.

Tonight...VFR. SSW winds around 5 kt. High cloud cover will move out before midnight for most sites. Expecting winds to go light and variable, if not calm, at KRDG/KABE after 02z tonight. Other sites will likely prevail at 5 knots or less out of the southwest. Guidance indicates LLWS particularly for the I-95 terminals and KRDG/KABE as a 25-35 kt low level jet moves overhead, so have included LLWS mention at those sites through 07z. High confidence.

Friday...VFR through late afternoon. High level cloud cover building in during the morning and ceilings lowering through the afternoon. -SHRA works in from the southwest for most sites by 22/23z with MVFR ceilings becoming increasingly likely (80% chance) by that time.

Outlook...

Friday thru Saturday morning... sub-VFR at times with showers and patchy fog.

Saturday afternoon/night... VFR mostly. Patchy overnight fog possible

Sunday... More Low clouds/showers possible. MVFR/IFR expected.

Sunday night...Gradually improving to VFR as showers decrease but patchy fog remains possible. Winds becoming westerly around 15 knots. Moderate confidence.

Monday...Periods of sub-VFR conditions possible with chances for showers, particularly in the afternoon. Westerly winds around 15 knots with 20-25 knot gusts. Shower chances and wind gusts decrease overnight. Moderate confidence.

Tuesday...VFR. Westerly winds around 10 knots with gusts up to 20 knots. Moderate confidence.

MARINE
A Small Craft Advisory is in effect until 3AM Friday for coastal waters from Sandy Hook to Manasquan Inlet as gusts up to 25 knots and seas 3-5 feet are expected through the middle half of the overnight hours tonight coincident with a low level jet moving overhead. Otherwise no marine headlines are in effect.

SSW/SW flow 15-20 kts will continue until around 11PM tonight.
Thereafter, SSW/SW winds 10-15 kts can be expected through Friday. Gusts near 20 kts are possible Friday.

2-3 foot seas this evening will build to around 3-4 feet tonight before returning to 2-3 feet for Friday.

Outlook...

Sub-SCA for Friday and into the weekend. Rains and fog possible Friday/Friday night and again Sunday/Sunday night into Monday.

Small Craft Advisory conditions possibly develop early Monday morning as westerly winds begin to increase. SCA conditions are likely by Monday evening with gusts up to 30 knots possible. Winds decrease back below SCA criteria during the day on Tuesday. Seas of 2 to 4 feet throughout.
