(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus61 kphi 201325 afdphi area forecast discussion national weather service mount holly nj 925 am edt Tue aug 20 2019 Synopsis A weak cold front will stall near or in the region today before slowly shifting northward as a warm front tonight and Wednesday. A lee surface trough will develop across the area on Wednesday ahead of a slow-moving cold front, which will cross the area Thursday and Thursday night. High pressure will gradually build into the area this weekend into early next week. Near term until 6 pm this evening Only minor adjustments made to the forecast this morning to better reflect the current temperatures and trends. A backdoor cold front dipped down across the area overnight and is expected to stall out across the area through today. The exact placement is to be determined, but most likely across southern new jersey, across northern delmarva, and across southeastern pennsylvania for much of the day. It will likely try to begin drifting back northward later in the afternoon. Several short wave vorticity impulses will move across the area within a weak west to southwest flow aloft which will help lead to a chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. CAPE values will increase to at least 1,500-2,500 j kg across much of the area, especially along and south of the frontal boundary. However, with the weak flow aloft, shear is very minimal, not even reaching 20 knots. However, given the strength of the instability, some strong updrafts will be possible, which could produce some stronger downbursts as well as some hail. With pw values around 1.75-2.00 inches, any thunderstorms will be capable of producing heavy rainfall as they will be efficient rain producers. Any storms will likely be slow moving as well, so there will be the potential for some areas of flooding. Today will be another hot and humid day, although north of the stalled out frontal boundary, dewpoints will likely be a couple of degrees lower then south of the boundary. We have kept the heat advisory for the urban corridor as some areas will approach or exceed 100 degree heat index criteria. Short term 6 pm this evening through 6 am Wednesday The frontal boundary will continue to slowly drift northward overnight tonight, but likely not fully clear the area by daybreak. Multiple short wave vorticity impulses will move across the area within the southwest flow aloft. This will help lead to a chance of showers and thunderstorms through the night. There will also be the chance for patchy fog overnight as well. Long term Wednesday through Monday Main forecast challenges revolve around storm chances through the end of the week. The setup continues to look quite favorable for a couple rounds of storms Wednesday through Friday. Starting with Wednesday, with the backdoor-cold-turned-warm front lifting north into new england, a lee surface trough will become established across the region during the day. Meanwhile, as a potent vort MAX pivots southeastward into the great lakes, a predecessor perturbation will eject east into far southeast canada and new england. Large-scale ascent in advance of this perturbation should become collocated with the prefrontal trough and the downstream warm sector. Numerous storms are expected to develop by afternoon from the northern mid-atlantic northeastward in an environment characterized by 1500+ j kg MLCAPE and increasing deep-layer shear. Our CWA will be on the southern fringe of both the stronger shear and strongest large-scale ascent. Nevertheless, the thermodynamic profiles are suggestive of fairly strong cold pools developing with storms. Given the anticipated coverage of convection, would expect storm organization to increase with time even this far south given the favorable profiles for strong cold pools. Latest convection-allowing model guidance depicts storms congealing into line segments and affecting the northern portions of the CWA by late afternoon evening. This seems reasonable given the setup, though I suspect the model consensus is a little too far north (as organized convection in these regimes tends to develop southward into the reservoir of instability more readily than models project at these time ranges). Given the uncertainty with the southern extent of the strongest convection on Wednesday, did not want to get too specific with threats in the public forecast (yet), and the inherited pop forecast looked quite reasonable. The SPC day-2 convective outlooks maintains a marginal risk for the northern half of the area, with a slight risk touching the far northern portions of the area. Clearly, this will be a period to watch for severe potential. In addition, locally heavy rainfall is a concern given high (1.75+ inch) pws and potential for slow storm motions and or training convection. By 00z Thursday, the aforementioned great lakes shortwave trough will acquire a neutral tilt and begin lifting northeastward. However, an upstream perturbation will dig southeastward into ontario quebec on Thursday. This midlevel evolution should result in strong cyclogenesis northeast of the great lakes Wednesday night and Thursday, with a cold front moving toward the east coast. However, this is where models noticeably diverge. The 00z cmc digs this upstream perturbation into the eastern great lakes and only gradually shifts it eastward Friday and Saturday. This results in relatively little precipitation on Thursday but quite a bit on Friday in our cwa. Meanwhile, the 00z GFS blasts this upstream perturbation through the northeast on Friday, which results in most of the convection occurring on Thursday afternoon evening before the front moves quickly southward by Friday. The 00z ECMWF is somewhat middle-of-the- |
road, though its more nebulous appearance to the upstream perturbation is doubtful. The bottom line is that the forecast for Thursday and Friday is quite unclear. With frontal timing in question and its overall trend appearing to be somewhat slower, I was inclined to keep pops mentionable right through Friday in most of the area, with a gradual trend downward from north to south. I am rather concerned the GFS is much too quick in shunting the front precip southward out of our area for Friday, especially given the positively-tilted and amplifying ridging downstream of the potent shortwave trough in the great lakes. The environment downstream of the front will remain quite unstable, and with a slowing cold front in the mix, locally heavy rainfall is again possible. Temperatures Wednesday and Thursday will remain warm hot, and humidity will be oppressive. Quite confident heat advisory criteria will be met again in the urban corridor, so have extended the advisory through Wednesday. It is not out of the question advisory conditions last into Thursday. As the cold front continues south, Friday should be much cooler. Eventually, high pressure should build into the northeast, bringing an extended period of near-seasonal temperatures and much lower dew points. Models are hinting at prolonged onshore flow by the end of the weekend into next week, suggesting the cooler spell may continue for a while. No complaints! Aviation 13z Tuesday through Saturday The following discussion is for kphl, kpne, kttn, kabe, krdg, kilg, kmiv, kacy and surrounding areas. Today... MainlyVFR conditions will be in place across the area through today. There is a chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon, so a prob30 group was added for the afternoon period. If a shower or thunderstorm does occur, it could temporarily lead to lower conditions. Winds will be quite variable for many locations for much of the day as a back door frontal boundary will be stalled out across the area. Any direction will most likely be from the south to southeast, and wind speeds will be 5-10 knots or less. Tonight... Tonight will start outVFR this evening across the area outside of any afternoon evening showers or thunderstorms. However, conditions are forecast to lower overnight as low clouds and or fog are expected to develop during the overnight period. MVFR and ifr conditions can be expected later tonight. There is also a chance for showers and thunderstorms to develop overnight as well. Outlook... Wednesday and Wednesday night... PredominantlyVFR, but sub-vfr conditions in showers storms possible at times, especially from the philly terminals northward. South to southwest winds 5 to 15 kts. Thursday and Thursday night... PredominantlyVFR, but sub-vfr conditions in showers storms possible. Southwest to west winds on Thursday becoming northwest Thursday night, generally around or below 10 kts. Friday and Friday night... Low-confidence forecast, with showers storms possible, especially south of phl. Some restrictions possible if precipitation occurs. Winds generally north to northwest around or below 10 kts. Saturday... MainlyVFR with light north winds. Marine Conditions will remain below advisory levels for today through tonight. There is a chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms which could temporarily lead to locally higher winds and waves. Outlook... Wednesday and Wednesday night... Conditions may approach advisory levels, but are expected to remain generally below wave wind thresholds. A chance of storms, with stronger winds and higher waves possible in their proximity. Thursday through Friday night... Sub-advisory winds seas expected. A chance of storms through the period, with the best chances gradually shifting southward through the period. Saturday... Sub-advisory conditions expected. Cannot rule out showers storms, especially off the delaware coast. Rip currents... with waves forecast at 2-3 foot and a 6-7 second period, along with southerly winds 5-10 knots, the risk for dangerous rip currents is low for today and tonight. Waves in the surf zone will likely remain around 2-3 feet. Phi watches warnings advisories Pa... Heat advisory until 8 pm edt Wednesday for paz070-071-102-104- 106. Nj...
