Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 717 PM EDT Tue Jun 23 2026
WHAT HAS CHANGED
The Severe Thunderstorm Watch for the southern portions of our areas has now been cancelled.
Updated Rip Current forecast.
KEY MESSAGES
1. Low pressure moving by just to our south will continue to bring some showers and storms to the area through this afternoon before these move offshore early this evening.
2. Another cold front is expected to approach the region late this week, bringing more chances for showers and storms. This will last at least into the first part of the weekend.
DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1...Low pressure moving by just to our south will continue to bring some showers and storms to the area through this afternoon before these move offshore early this evening.
As of late afternoon, the severe thunderstorm watch has now been cancelled. While some heavier showers and an occasional rumble of thunder may still be possible, the severe threat has now diminished.
Heading into this evening, the system will be quickly departing so showers/storms and any lingering severe threat will come to an end by 8 PM. The remainder of the night will be tranquil.
KEY MESSAGE 2...Another cold front is expected to approach the region late this week, bringing more chances for showers and storms. This will last at least into the first part of the weekend.
Another cold front is expected to approach our region late in the week bringing the potential for showers/storms as early as very late day Thursday into Thursday night. Deep layer shear will be fairly strong but the forcing does not look to be terribly strong and could also be centered more north of our area. This could limit the severe weather potential. This is still a few days away though and things could change.
At this point it is likely that the aformentioned front with its associated showers and potential storms is likely to linger into Saturday keeping at least the first part of the weekend on the unsettled side. Precipitation chances diminish by Sunday into early next week.
AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.
Rest of today (through 00Z).. MVFR ceilings primarily with gradual improvement towards 00Z. Showers for all terminals through 20-23Z, with thunderstorms possible at KMIV and KACY.
North winds generally around 10 kt, with a few gusts near 20 kt.
Moderate confidence.
Tonight...Any lingering MVFR ceilings should quickly lift to VFR and then scatter out by 01-03Z. Showers will depart as well.
North- northwest winds around 10 kt with gusts around 20 kt remaining possible into the evening before gradually diminishing. Moderate confidence.
Wednesday...VFR. Northwest winds becoming west-northwest in the afternoon at 5-10 kt. High confidence.
Outlook...
Thursday...VFR. No significant weather.
Thursday night through Saturday night...Daily chances for showers and storms will return, with the greatest chance Friday night into Saturday. Sub-VFR conditions will be possible with any showers and storms.
Sunday...VFR. No significant weather.
MARINE
Some showers/storms will be affecting the waters for the rest of this afternoon into this evening and could produce locally strong winds over 34 knots. Outside of this convection wind gusts should remain below Small Craft Advisory levels.
Showers/storms move east of our waters overnight with relatively tranquil conditions over the waters to follow through Wednesday.
Outlook...
Wednesday through Sunday...Sub SCA conditions.
Rip Currents...
On Wednesday, winds will be northwest in the morning, turning southwest around 10 mph in the afternoon. Breaking waves will be 1 to 2 feet with a low to medium period southeast swell. As a result, there is a LOW risk for the development of rip currents for the Jersey Shore and Delaware Beaches.
On Thursday, similar surf conditions are expected with southerly winds increasing to near 10-15 mph. This will continue the LOW risk for the development of rip currents for the Jersey Shore and Delaware Beaches.
