SYNOPSIS
Low pressure tracking toward Lake Ontario will lift a warm front into our area today, before another low develops and tracks off the coast. Weak high pressure builds in for early next week, followed by a weak storm system passing by Tuesday night.
Expect progressively colder temperatures through Thursday as high pressure builds in for the latter part of the week.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/
Low pressure across western Pennsylvania this morning will move northeast into New York while a second weak low moves across Delmarva and srn NJ. Overall, a rainy wet pattern for much of Sunday with fog possible too. The rains have helped stir the atmosphere somewhat so visibilities in the the fog have increase some. We discontinued the Dense Fog Advisory from earlier Sat. night but will continue to monitor in case vsbys become under one-half mile over a widespread areas again. The rains will end from SW to NE this afternoon. Clouds will probably hold across most areas much of the day, but some breaks are possible this afternoon for Delmarva areas.
There will be a decent spread in temperatures today with upper 50s/low 60s for highs across southern Delmarva. Further north, low/mid 50s for much of SE Pennsylvania and adjacent NJ. For the far north/west areas, high will top out in the mid/upper 40s.
Tonight, the rains will end across the NE areas this evening and then clouds will slowly diminish overnight. More fog is possible tonight, but with more mixing behind the departing low, dense fog is not expected. Lows tonight will drop into the upper 30s/low 40s for most spots.
SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/
Trailing low pressure will continue to weaken over New England on Monday, with another weak low passing well to our south across the Carolinas and out to sea. Weak high pressure will generally be in control, resulting in a dry day with some sunshine to start the day in most areas. Drier air filtering in on a westerly breeze with dewpoints dropping through the 30s should limit the fog potential to the shallow and patchy variety early in the morning. HRRR probabilities suggest there may not be much fog at all. However, aloft there will be an upper-level trough approaching with quite a bit of mid and high-level moisture for increasing clouds through the day from west to east.
Skies should clear overnight Monday night into Tuesday morning, with lighter winds perhaps allowing for some patchy valley fog. Tuesday will be dry as well, but clouds will increase once again, as a result of the last in the series of troughs approaching. That trough will amplify as it crosses the Appalachians Wednesday morning and heads off the coast, with a bit more of a surface low reflection and some more low-level moisture than the previous system. That will eventually spark cyclogenesis over the Gulf Stream, but that low will quickly head out to sea. The aforementioned weaker low along with the upper trough may be enough for some light showers Tuesday night, mainly across the southwestern half of our area, particularly across the Delmarva. For now we just have 30-40 percent chance POPs down there. Ensemble and NBM probabilities are very low but not zero for any accumulating snow; perhaps a 10% chance across southeastern PA late Tuesday night. Farther south across most of MD/DE, temperatures look a little too warm for any snow, but with this system continuing to trend southward, would not rule out some wet flakes. Otherwise though, the precipitation looks too light for any impact.
LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/
Depending on the timing of the passage of a substantial upper- level trough on Wednesday, there may still be some light showers toward the southern NJ or DE coast, mainly early in the day Wednesday. Those could mix with a few wet snowflakes earlier in the morning. That trough will carry quite a bit of cloud-cover, but skies may start to clear by the end of the day, especially back farther west from the coast. Highs Wednesday will be mainly in the low to mid-40s, accompanied by a brisk northwesterly breeze that could be rather gusty in the afternoon. High pressure will shift eastward from the Mississippi Valley to the southeastern U.S. on Thursday, with ridging extending up across the Mid-Atlantic. That will likely be our coolest day of the week, with some high clouds trying to increase through the day, especially farther north across PA and NJ. Winds should be much lighter than Wednesday, though. High temperatures will moderate into the 50s across most of our area from Friday through the weekend. Surface high pressure shifting off the Carolina coast and a building upper-level ridge will support increasing warm- air advection. The pattern will remain progressive though, with another upper-level trough approaching from the west over the weekend. Most model guidance supports the next low associated with that trough tracking northward through the Ohio Valley and into the Great Lakes on Sunday, which may bring some rain for our region by the 2nd half of the weekend.
AVIATION /08Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.
Today
Low CIGS/VSBYS in rain and fog today with some improvement late. Conditions will improve from SW to NE, but CIGS may remain low after the rains end. Low confid in flight category and changes in categories. NE/E winds this morning switching to NW/W by evening.
Tonight
Improvement as lower CIGS decrease. VFR possible after 05z/06Z. Much of the available guidance shows little agreement with trends leading to a low confid fcst. W/NW winds 5 to 10 knots.
Outlook...
Monday and Tuesday...VFR, aside from some patchy valley fog overnight or early in the mornings. Most TAF sites should avoid that, but spots like RDG and MIV may see brief MVFR VSBY.
Westerly winds 5-10 kt.
Tuesday night into Wednesday...Some light rain showers passing through, but with mainly VFR conditions. Would not rule out some wet snow late at night or early Wednesday morning, with brief MVFR conditions. NW wind 10-20 kt and gusty on Wednesday.
Thursday...VFR. Westerly wind around 10 kt.
MARINE
Dense fog will continue on the waters into the morning. There is a good degree of uncertainty on when it will end. We'll continue with the Marine Dense Fog advisory until Noon. Rains and fog will continue for the morning and into the afternoon. Rains will then diminish from SW to NE. Winds and seas will remain below SCA levels as low pressure moves across the area. Winds will favor E/SE directions today and then switch to NW/W tonight.
Outlook
Monday...WNW winds increasing 10-20 kt through the evening, with some gusts near 25 kt possible mainly Monday night. Seas 3 to 5 ft.
Tuesday...WNW wind 10-15 kt. Seas 2-3 ft.
Wednesday into Thursday...NW winds 10-20 kt with gusts over 25 kt, especially Wednesday afternoon and evening. Seas 3 to 5 ft.
Winds tending more westerly and easing slightly into Thursday.
PHI WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
PA...None.
NJ...None.
DE...None.
MD...None.
