Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 937 AM EST Sat Feb 8 2025

SYNOPSIS
Low pressure will move through the region tonight through Sunday morning. High pressure builds in from the west for the start of the new week before moving offshore on Tuesday. Another system passes south of the region late Tuesday through Wednesday, followed by another system Thursday. High pressure returns Friday.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/
940 AM update...
Monitoring incoming 12Z guidance closely but at this time there is no consensus for a significant shift in the forecast. Will likely do a wholesale update with available guidance by 1 PM but at this time anticipate no big changes.

Early morning discussion...
High pressure overhead will shift off the coast later this morning. To the west, low pressure currently over the southern Plains will accelerate east- northeast into the Ohio Valley later this afternoon. As the primary low continues to move east and weaken, a secondary low will develop off the coast of the Delmarva and move northeast away from the coast later tonight.

At this hour, benign weather conditions are ongoing as mid-high level clouds are overspreading the region ahead of the approaching low pressure system. Temperatures are currently in the teens/20s.
For the remainder of the morning, tranquil weather shall continue as high pressure still maintains a grasp on the region under mostly cloudy skies.

By the afternoon, areas of light snow are expected to develop over the Delmarva and spread northeastward across the region through the mid to late afternoon hours. As low pressure approaches this evening, a strong push of WAA aloft is still anticipated between 800- 925mb from south to north. This will cause snow to change over to a mix of sleet and freezing rain this evening. Forecast soundings suggest that sleet should favored across the Delmarva and New Jersey with freezing rain favored across eastern Pennsylvania. An extended period of freezing rain may occur in these areas as the cold air wedge lingers with the low developing offshore. Guidance has backed off on this potential, but the threat persists. Eventually, a changeover to plain rain is expected along and southeast of the I-95 corridor overnight. Precipitation should begin to taper off from southwest to northeast into the early morning hours on Sunday. A few lingering rain/snow showers are possible over the higher terrain, but for the majority, precipitation should be out of here by day break on Sunday.

No winter weather headline changes were made as little in the way of changes were made to snow/sleet/ice amounts. A general C-2" of snow/sleet is expected south of I-78. To the north of I-78, snow/sleet amounts range between 2-4" (locally 5" possible especially north of I-80). The biggest change to the forecast is respect to ice accretion, as amounts have lowered a tad, but still remain up to 0.2" of ice.

High temps today will top out in the upper 20s to mid 30s. For tonight, temps will continue to rise into the 30s/40s overnight (20s in the higher terrain) due to the strong push of WAA. So 'low' temps tonight should occur early this evening rather than on Sunday morning.

SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/
Low pressure will be southeast of Cape Cod by Sunday morning and will continue to track out to sea. High pressure builds in from the west, and a tightening pressure gradient will allow for west to northwest winds around 15 mph with 20 to 25 mph gusts to develop. Highs on Sunday will be around the seasonal averages, topping off in the upper 30s to low 40s, though in the mid and upper 40s in southern Delmarva.

High pressure continues to build east Sunday night before passing over the Northeast on Monday and departing Monday night.
Dry conditions on tap with temperatures several degrees below normal. Lows will be in the teens and 20s at night and in the upper 20s in the southern Poconos to the 30s for most of the area and in the low 40s in southern Delmarva on Monday.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
Unsettled conditions on tap for the Long Term period as several storm systems are gearing up to affect the region.

High pressure will be over the area Tuesday morning before departing by early afternoon. Developing low pressure lifts towards the Mid-Atlantic and moves out to sea Tuesday night.
Although surface temperatures will be at or a few degrees above freezing for most of the area, it will be relatively dry for most of the day with dew points in the teens and low 20s, gradually rising through the day. As a result, there should be enough of a wet bulb effect for temperatures to fall below freezing and for precipitation to be mostly snow, though depending on how far north the low can reach, there may be a rain/snow mix for Delmarva Tuesday afternoon. There also could be a fairly sharp cutoff on the northern extent of the accumulating snow. 08/00Z operational GFS and the CMC seem to have a southern shift with the low, and the 08/01Z NBM showing 40 to 50 percent probability of 4 inches of accumulating snow or more, pretty much across most of the region. This is a tick down from the prior run of the NBM, and may slide south with the next run of the NBM. 08/00Z NAM goes out to 12Z Tuesday, so will need another 24 hours to get a handle on initial potential snow accumulations for the area.

This low will depart late Tuesday night, and then another storm system follows behind it fairly quickly for late Wednesday through Thursday. Based on latest trends, a quick shot of snow is possible throughout starting Wednesday night, but without much of a strong blocking high over eastern Canada, the low looks to take more of a northern track during the day Thursday, allowing snow to mix with and change to rain for all but far northern areas.

High pressure returns to close out the work week. Temperatures will be at or below the seasonal averages for the period.

AVIATION /15Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas...

Rest of Today...VFR conditions expected through the early afternoon. Ceilings and visibilities drop to MVFR/IFR as precipitation begins between 19z-21z across the region. All terminals should encounter light snow at the onset, before changing over to sleet by 21z-00z. KRDG/KABE and possibly KTTN should remain all snow through 00z. Light and variable winds this morning will increase out of the south-southeast around 5-10 kt this afternoon. Low- moderate confidence overall.

Tonight...IFR/LIFR conditions likely. All terminals should turn over to a mix of sleet/freezing rain by 00z-05z, before changing over to plain rain by 03z-06z. KRDG/KABE and possibly KTTN are the least likely to changeover to plain rain. Southeast winds early will back to northeast and eventually to northwest as the surface low passes by. Low confidence overall.

Outlook...

Sunday...Lingering sub-VFR conditions Sunday morning will give way to VFR conditions in the afternoon.

Sunday night through Monday night...VFR.

Tuesday through Tuesday night...Sub-VFR conditions in SN, though a RA/SN mix is possible at KACY.

Wednesday...Lingering sub-VFR conditions in the morning, then VFR.

MARINE
No marine headlines are in effect through tonight.

Light north-northwest winds this morning will become east- southeast around 10-20 kt this afternoon. Seas around 2 feet.
Periods of light snow expected, mixing with sleet at times.

For tonight, southeast winds around 10-20 kt will become westerly after midnight as low pressure passes on by. A few gusts up to 23-25 kt possible, but largely should remain below SCA thresholds. Seas around 2-4 feet. Periods of sleet expected early, before changing to plain rain.

Outlook...

Sunday...SCA in effect for wind gusts up to 25 kt on the ocean and on Delaware Bay and for seas on the ocean up to 5 ft.

Sunday night through Monday night...Sub-SCA conditions.

Tuesday through Wednesday...Sub-SCA conditions. VSBY restrictions in snow and/or rain.
