Synopsis for the coastal waters from sandy hook nj to fenwick island de and for delaware bay.. A slow moving cold front will track through the forecast area tonight into Friday. The front will settle well to our south through early next week as high pressure builds to our north. The high will retreat northward on Wednesday as low pressure lifts northward off the eastern seaboard and a cold front approaches the region from the west. The cold front is then forecast to move into the mid-atlantic region late next week.

(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus61 kphi 230436 afdphi area forecast discussion national weather service mount holly nj 1236 am edt Fri aug 23 2019 Synopsis A slow moving cold front will track through the forecast area tonight into Friday. The front will settle well to our south through early next week as high pressure builds to our north. The high will retreat northward on Wednesday as low pressure lifts northward off the eastern seaboard and a cold front approaches the region from the west. The cold front is then forecast to move into the mid-atlantic region late next week. Near term until 6 am this morning 1230 am update: showers have redeveloped from long island west- southwest to the harrisburg area. Some of these showers have occasionally produced lightning. Meanwhile, the precipitation upstream of the line of storms moving through DELMARVA and southern new jersey has featured fairly frequent anvil lightning. For these reasons, increased pops the rest of the night across the area and maintained isolated thunder mention as well. Moisture-channel imagery indicates a couple of vorticity maxima are associated with the current convection. The first is approaching the coast, with the precipitation likely to move offshore with it in the next 2 to 3 hours. However, another perturbation is expected to strengthen as large-scale ascent increases downstream of a digging shortwave trough to the north. As such, expect the showers along the i-78 corridor to remain for much of the night as they slowly migrate eastward. Temperature forecast remains unchanged for now, given the quite heterogeneous chaotic behavior associated with the precipitation. Short term 6 am this morning through 6 pm Saturday 1230 am update: I expanded pops northward given initial glance at 00z guidance. Would not be surprised to see fairly widespread precipitation along south of the i-76 corridor this afternoon with more scattered precipitation extending as far north as the i-78 corridor. This will be somewhat dependent on convection farther south, which may ultimately dampen coverage in our area as descent surrounding the more-widespread precipitation develops. However, hi-res models are virtually unanimous in providing another round of storms near south of philadelphia. Previous discussion... the cold front is forecast to extend across far southern new jersey, central delaware and adjacent areas of northeastern maryland around daybreak on Friday. It expected expected to drift southward, reaching the virginia capes late in the day. The slow movement of the boundary will translate into a very gradual improving trend from north to south in our region on Friday. We will keep a chance of showers from the philadelphia metropolitan area and southern new jersey southward for Friday morning. We will limit the mention of showers to areas from about dover de and ocean city nj southward for the afternoon. It appears as though any substantial instability will have drifted to our south by Friday morning, so we will not include any thunder. It should remain mostly cloudy across northeastern maryland, delaware and southern new jersey through the day. However, some clearing from the northwest and north is anticipated for eastern pennsylvania, and for northern and central new jersey. The wind is expected to be from the northwest and north around 10 mph. Temperatures will be considerably cooler than those of recent days with highs mostly in the 80 degree neighborhood. Readings will likely not get above the lower and middle 70s in the elevated terrain on the poconos and far northern new jersey. Long term Saturday night through Thursday The long term forecast will begin with below normal temperatures and more comfortable dewpoints and end with normal to above normal temperatures and greater chances of convectively driven precipitation. For Friday night, lingering showers and thunderstorms could remain across southern new jersey, and southern delaware and maryland. Pw values remain near 2.0 inches, so some locally heavy rain is possible. Saturday could end up the better of weekend days as high pressure builds well to our north across eastern canada and winds just start to turn onshore. Temperatures will be below normal. The period between Sunday and Tuesday, could see more cloud cover and light precipitation. This is due to a persistent onshore flow. |
Guidance, for a couple of days now, is showing precipitation for this period. However onshore flow can manifest itself in a number ways... Low clouds, fog, drizzle or light rain. At a minimum, expect some cloud cover along the coastal plain. As we move into Wednesday and Thursday, unsettled weather should return to the area. An area of low pressure is forecast to be lifting northward offshore of the east coast, while a cold front approaches from the west. Showers and thunderstorms are likely to develop as the cold front nears the forecast area. Aviation 06z Friday through Tuesday The following discussion is for kphl, kpne, kttn, kabe, krdg, kilg, kmiv, kacy and surrounding areas. Rest of tonight... MainlyVFR, though brief sub-vfr conditions may occur in showers, especially at rdg abe ttn and miv acy. Cannot rule out lightning, at least at miv acy through 09z or so. Winds will be light but erratic. Friday... MainlyVFR, but there is a chance of more storms near south of phl, especially during the afternoon. Brief sub- vfr conditions may occur. Winds becoming northwest or north around 10 kts. Outlook... Friday night...VFR except MVFR possible across southern nj, southern de, and the eastern shore of md due to showers and thunderstorms. N to NE winds mainly 5 to 10 kts. Saturday-Saturday night... MainlyVFR conditions expected. MVFR conditions possible at kacy and kmiv Saturday night as an onshore flow generates some clouds. Winds generally NE 5-10 knots. Sunday... MainlyVFR conditions expected. MVFR conditions possible at kacy and kmiv as an onshore flow generates some clouds drizzle light rain. NE winds 5-10 kts with gusts up to 20 knots possible. Sunday night-Tuesday... More widespread MVFR conditions developing with the persistent onshore flow. E to NE winds 5-10 kts with gusts up to 20 kts possible. Marine A south to southwest wind 10 to 15 knots this evening, becoming northwest to north around 10 knots overnight. North wind around 10 knots on Friday, becoming variable 10 knots or less late in the day. Waves on our ocean waters are forecast to be around 2 to 3 feet. Waves on delaware bay are expected to be 2 feet or less. Outlook... Friday night-Saturday... Sub-sca conditions expected much of the period. Low end SCA conditions possible late Saturday. Saturday night... Low end SCA conditions possible due to long fetch e to NE winds developing. Sunday-Tuesday... A prolonged low end SCA may be needed through the period as long fetch E to NE winds persist. Rip currents... a northerly wind around 10 mph is expected for Friday. Breaking waves around 2 to 3 feet are likely along with a medium period southerly swell. A low risk is forecast. A long duration northeast to east wind is expected for the weekend and into the early part of the new week. As a result, we are anticipating a prolonged period with an enhanced risk for the development of dangerous rip currents from Saturday through at least Tuesday. Phi watches warnings advisories Pa...
