Version 3.4 |
12/16/2019 NOAA is having trouble with requests that include wind gusts. I am posting graphs without wind gusts until it gets fixed. 10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. |

SYNOPSIS. A frontal boundary will slowly sag southward through Saturday, before stalling to our south Sunday as high pressure builds across eastern Canada. Several waves of low pressure will move along this boundary, keeping unsettled weather across the area. The low pressure system that moves across the area late Sunday into Monday will push the frontal boundary offshore. This will allow another cold front to move across the area late Monday into Tuesday, which may stall to our south and offshore next week.
NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/. 130 pm update: Surface low off the Mid-Atlantic coast is beginning to progress northeastward. Northeast flow continues in our area, allowing for scattered showers to move southwestward into the southern third of the CWA. Showers have increased in coverage as modest heating has enabled sufficient instability to be realized in portions of Delmarva and southern New Jersey. Expect fairly similar coverage through the afternoon with some isolated lightning strikes with the stronger precipitation cores (and perhaps some gusty surface winds as well). As the low offshore continues to migrate northeastward well east-southeast of our area, should see the coverage of showers begin to diminish by evening. Current PoPs seem to have this well in hand. However, did increase winds a little bit this afternoon south of I-76, where some sustained winds 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 25 mph or so have become common.
SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM SATURDAY/. The surface low is expected to continue drifting northeastward tonight, to a point about 300 miles off the Delaware coast around daybreak on Saturday. The resulting northeast flow will draw stable and relatively dry air into our region overnight. While there is a lingering chance of showers in northeastern Maryland and Delaware, no precipitation is expected in eastern Pennsylvania or New Jersey.
A partly cloudy sky is anticipated for tonight with a northeast wind around 5 to 10 MPH. Low temperatures should be mostly in the 65 to 70 degree range.
LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/. Periods of unsettled weather are expected to affect portions of the area for much of the long term period with several waves of low pressure moving along frontal boundaries near the area.
For Saturday, the frontal boundary will continue to sag southward and we will be in between two surface low pressure systems that will move along the frontal boundary. Although we will be in between the two surface lows, southwest flow aloft will remain across the Mid- Atlantic region. Multiple short waves/vorticity impulses will move across the area within the southwest flow aloft, and with plenty of moisture across the area as evident of PW values of 1.5-2.0+ inches, there will remain chances of showers and thunderstorms. The rain chances are fairly small however, so Saturday may end up being a fairly dry day for many areas.
By Saturday night into Sunday, a stronger wave of low pressure is forecast to move along the stalled front, and pass near the area. The guidance still varies in respect to their placement of the actual low and the placement of the precipitation. There will be a chance of showers and thunderstorms for all areas, although southern portions of the area will be favored for heavier precipitation potential since they will be closer to the track of the low and have the higher PW values of over 2 inches.
Behind the low Sunday night, moisture will likely remain across the area, and patchy fog and drizzle may develop across portions of the area.
The low will track to the northeast and across New England Monday into Monday night, while a cold front approaches the area from the west. Rain chances lower some Monday into Monday night, although they will not disappear completely.
For Tuesday through Thursday, the front may stall to our south. Tuesday may be a mostly dry period as we will be lacking moisture and any short waves/vorticity impulses. This may change as we move into Wednesday and Thursday as several short waves/vorticity impulses will likely move across the area within the southwest flow aloft and combine with some enhanced moisture, leading to a chance of showers and thunderstorms for portions of the area.
AVIATION /17Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/. The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.
This afternoon . VFR for the Philly terminals, RDG, and ABE. CIGs lingering near 3000 feet at MIV/ACY through 20z with scattered showers. Showers may also affect ILG, but impacts are expected to be minimal. East to northeast winds around 10 kt with occasional gusts up to 20 kt. Moderate confidence.
Tonight . Mainly VFR with east to northeast winds 5 to 10 kt. Moderate confidence.
Saturday . Mainly VFR with east to northeast winds 5 to 15 kt (possibly a little stronger at ACY). Cannot rule out showers in the afternoon in Delmarva and far southern NJ, but not expecting impacts at the terminals. Moderate confidence.
Outlook .
Saturday night-Sunday . An extended period of MVFR or IFR conditions possible. A chance of showers and thunderstorms, especially Saturday night into Sunday. East-northeast winds 5-10 knots, with gusts 15-20 knots.
Sunday night . MVFR or IFR conditions likely continue with fog and drizzle possible. East-northeast winds 5-10 knots, becoming light overnight.
Monday . MVFR conditions likely early, with possible improvement during the day. Chance of showers and thunderstorms. North winds early, become west-northwest during the day 5-10 knots.
Monday night . Generally VFR conditions. Winds become light and variable overnight.
Tuesday . VFR conditions expected. Northwest winds 5-10 knots.
MARINE. As low pressure drifts slowly northeastward off the Middle Atlantic coast today and tonight, a northeast wind is forecast to continue along the coasts of Delaware and New Jersey. Wind speeds are expected to increase to 15 to 20 knots, with some gusts to 25 knots on the coastal waters of New Jersey tonight. Wave heights on our ocean waters are anticipated to build to 4 to 5 feet for tonight. We will begin a Small Craft Advisory for the water off New Jersey at 10:00 PM this evening. Small Craft Advisory conditions are not expected on the waters off Delaware or on the waters of Delaware Bay until around daybreak on Saturday.
Outlook . Saturday-Saturday night . Small Craft Advisory in effect as seas are expected to build to at least 5-6 feet due to increasing easterly flow. Winds could gust 25-30 knots Saturday into Saturday night.
Sunday-Sunday night . Small Craft Advisory conditions likely continue as winds and waves remain elevated.
Monday-Tuesday . Conditions likely lower below advisory levels through the day Monday and remain below advisory conditions through Tuesday.
Rip currents .
There is a low risk for the development of dangerous rip currents today. However, the risk could become locally moderate as a northeast wind around 15 MPH develops. Breaking waves should be 2 to 3 feet with a medium period swell from the southeast.
A moderate risk is anticipated for Saturday. The northeast wind is forecast to increase to 15 to 20 MPH with gusts of 25 MPH. Breaking waves of 3 to 4 feet are expected with a short to medium period wind wave from the northeast.
TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING. Onshore flow will increase some Friday and especially Saturday and persist through Sunday. Astronomical tides will be increasing into the weekend as well as the new moon occurring early next week. These factors will combine to increase the chance for minor coastal flooding with the Saturday and Sunday afternoon/evening high tides. Spotty minor coastal flooding is possible with the afternoon and evening high tide on Saturday. Minor coastal flooding to advisory levels is then more likely with the Sunday afternoon and evening high tide, especially from Atlantic City southward including the Delaware Atlantic coast and up Delaware Bay.
PHI WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. PA . None. NJ . None. DE . None. MD . None. MARINE . Small Craft Advisory from 10 PM this evening to 6 AM EDT Sunday for ANZ450>453. Small Craft Advisory from 10 AM Saturday to 6 AM EDT Sunday for ANZ454-455.
