Synopsis for the coastal waters from sandy hook nj to fenwick island de and for delaware bay.. A weak cold front will move across the area today. High pressure will build in tonight and remain nearby through Tuesday. Two weather systems will approach on Wednesday, one a low pressure tracking out of the great lakes and the other a wave of moisture coming out of the gulf states. These two systems will phase into a powerful storm that will impact the region Wednesday and Wednesday night. The storm will move away on Thursday with blustery conditions lingering. High pressure will build in for the end of the week and next weekend.

(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus61 kphi 140729 afdphi area forecast discussion national weather service mount holly nj 329 am edt Mon oct 14 2019 Synopsis A weak cold front will move across the area today. High pressure will build in tonight and remain nearby through Tuesday. Two weather systems will approach on Wednesday, one a low pressure tracking out of the great lakes and the other a wave of moisture coming out of the gulf states. These two systems will phase into a powerful storm that will impact the region Wednesday and Wednesday night. The storm will move away on Thursday with blustery conditions lingering. High pressure will build in for the end of the week and next weekend. Near term until 6 pm this evening The front and weak area of low pressure that caused the rain showers across the SE areas last night will continue to move offshore early this morning. In its wake, low clouds and areas of fog have developed across many areas. Patchy drizzle is also being observed in a few areas. This low level moisture will diminish this morning as high pressure begins to work its way towards the area. The clouds will thin out across the NW areas first, then across the coastal plain later this morning. The afternoon will be mostly sunny in all areas. High temperatures today should reach the low mid 70s in many areas with some upper 60s across the far N w. Winds will be mostly west to southwest at 5 to 10 mph. Short term 6 pm this evening through 6 am Tuesday A weak cold front will cross the area this evening before high pressure arrives from the W tonight. Clear skies and cool temperatures are expected. Lows will drop into the upper 30s low 40s across the north and into the mid upper 40s for DELMARVA and SRN nj. Winds will be from the NW to N around 5 mph overnight. A little patchy valley fog is possible. Long term Tuesday through Sunday Overview... no significant changes in thinking for the coming week. We start on Tuesday beneath an area of high pressure which will yield a pleasant fall day. The one weather system in the long term will impact us on Wednesday and into early Thursday. Guidance continues to indicate the potential for a strong but quick moving storm system to impact us during that time. By the end of the week and next weekend, we revert back to a pattern we saw a lot of in august and september. That is, one of east coast ridging and surface high pressure which should grace us with a lengthy stretch of dry and warmer than normal weather once the midweek storm departs. Dailies... Tuesday-Tuesday night... Surface high pressure will be almost directly overhead for most of Tuesday, before starting to shift off to the east late. We see some weak CAA during the day thanks to a trough to the north, so highs will be a little cooler than Monday, mainly in the mid to upper 60s. Dry conditions, plenty of sun, and light winds expected. Lowered mins a couple degrees Tuesday night as believe we may fall rather quickly early in the night while we still have partly to mostly clear skies. Wednesday-Wednesday night... The most active part of the week, as two weather systems approach and phase into what should become a powerful storm. Dynamically, it is an impressive setup at mid and upper levels, and guidance has been consistent for several days in the overall evolution of events, with only minor differences in timing and the tracks of the northern and southern stream pieces. The northern stream frontal system over the great lakes should eventually be absorbed by the developing low along the wave of moisture coming up from the south. Main question will be just how much rain we get, which will depend on the tracks of the features and the timing of their phasing. As previous forecaster noted, most of our rain will be due to warm advection and low level fgen on Wednesday afternoon and evening. Given the dynamics, a period of steady moderate rain appears probable. Not especially confident on qpf and did not change the previous forecast too much; expecting near an inch of rain but there will be some local variations. The overnight runs of the ec and the gem both show much higher totals with widespread amounts over two inches. The southern stream wave coming out of the gulf states certainly has plenty of moisture with it, so if that wave tracks a little farther north like those models show then we could end up with heavier rain. We will dry out Wednesday night, though the theme in the 0z guidance overnight was to delay both precip arrival and departure by a few hours. Lows falling back into the mid to upper 40s as NW flow kicks in, though if the slower trend continues may have to adjust mins up. Thursday-Thursday night... The upper level pattern is progressive, so the Wednesday storm system will pull away into the maritimes on Thursday. Dry conditions will return though cannot rule out some cold advection showers to the northwest. As the low pressure intensifies to our north, high pressure will be building in behind it, and that will set up a sharp pressure gradient on Thursday. |
Gusty northwest winds are expected. In fact, some bufkit profiles suggest we have a chance at advisory level gusts, and we would probably be a little lenient on criteria in this case given fully leafed trees. Strong CAA behind the departing low will lead to a chilly day with highs struggling to crack 60 and a cooler feel due to the wind. 850mb temperatures dip to near 0c just about everywhere. While the overnight will also be on the cool side, we should avoid too much of a tumble thanks to the winds, which will be diminishing but still steady overnight. Friday-Sunday... Guidance agrees on an expansive ridge developing over the east, something we saw a lot of in the late summer and early fall. The result will be several days of dry weather with temperatures steadily moderating after the Thursday chill. We should be back in the low 70s by late in the weekend or early next week. Aviation 08z Monday through Friday The following discussion is for kphl, kpne, kttn, kabe, krdg, kilg, kmiv, kacy and surrounding areas. Today... Low clouds and areas of fog (mostly ifr) early this morning then improvement toVFR after 12z 13z west and 14z 15z south east. Winds will become W to NW and increase to 5 to 10 knots for much of the day. Tonight... High pressure will move overhead soVFR expected with light winds. The dry airmass should preclude widespread fog formation. A little across the rural areas possible. We'll not put it in the tafs ATTM with low confid of it occurring. Outlook... Tuesday-Tuesday night... VFR. Light and variable wind Tuesday becoming light southeasterly overnight. High confidence. Wednesday-Wednesday night... InitiallyVFR on Wednesday morning, but conditions deteriorating during the late morning and especially afternoon and evening. MVFR ifr likely. Winds will be increasing and also erratic in direction. Initially southeasterly winds should turn southerly then southwesterly during the afternoon. A sharp shift to west-northwest is likely during the evening. Gusts of 20 to 25 kt are possible by evening. Llws may be a concern Wednesday afternoon and evening as well. Conditions should gradually return to vfr later in the night, especially after 6z. Moderate confidence. Thursday-Thursday night... MainlyVFR. Windy, with west-northwest winds of 15 to 20 kt potentially gusting over 30 kt during the day Thursday. Northwest winds will diminish Thursday evening and especially overnight. High confidence. Friday... VFR. NW winds around 10 kt with gusts up to 20 kt. High confidence. Marine Low pressure that was across the waters Sunday evening will continue to move away today. A weak cold front will cross the waters this evening before high pressure approaches from the west later tonight. Winds and seas will remain below SCA conditions thru the period. There may be some fog across the waters this morning, but then fair weather is expected this afternoon and tonight. Winds will shift to w SW later today, then shift to NW behind the front tonight. Outlook... Tuesday-Tuesday night... Sub-sca conditions expected. Seas 2 to 3 ft. Light and variable winds becoming southeasterly at 10 to 15 kt overnight. Wednesday-Friday... Marine headlines are likely most of this period due to a storm system. Winds and seas likely build to SCA levels Wednesday morning or early afternoon. West-northwesterly gales appear likely Wednesday night and Thursday. Seas building 4 to 7 ft. Gales subsiding to SCA levels Thursday night with seas also diminishing. By Friday morning, conditions should subside to sub-sca levels though gusts around 20 kt remain possible. Phi watches warnings advisories Pa... None. Nj... None. De... None. Md... None. Marine...
