SYNOPSIS
A cold front will cross our region during today, then high pressure arrives from the Great Lakes later tonight and Thursday before shifting to our northeast and east during Friday. A warm front should lift north of our area later Saturday, then a cold front gradually approaches later Monday before moving across our area later Tuesday.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/
245 PM...As of this hour a cold front was moving south and eastward into eastern PA and northern NJ with this feature extending south and westward from an area of low pressure over Atlantic Canada. The front, along with an associated upper level trough combined with diurnal heating has brought a fair amount of cloud cover due to Cu development and there are some isolated to scattered showers around. There's even been a few rumbles of thunder as well over SE PA. The chance for showers will continue through the afternoon as the front moves through with the limiting factors for these being more widespread being lack of moisture and that the better upper level forcing is just about to move out. Therefor POPs are only in the 20 to 30 percent range or even a bit lower over southern parts of our forecast area. Otherwise, breezy NW winds will continue this afternoon with generally falling dew points as the front ushers in drier air.
Tonight, Canadian high pressure builds southward reinforcing the cool, dry air mass pushing southward. It should become mainly clear over NE PA into NW NJ with still some lingering cloud cover farther south. A Freeze Warning is in effect for the Lehigh Valley into NW NJ where temperatures are expected to fall to around or below freezing and the growing season has started. Meanwhile a Frost Advisory is in effect for Berks, Upper Bucks, and Hunterdon Counties where lows will be mainly in the mid 30s. Winds and relatively drier air could limit frost from being too extensive but decided to err on the side of caution with the advisory.
For Thursday, high pressure will dominate over the mid Atlantic and northeast. A notably colder and dry air mass will be in place though despite a mainly sunny sky for most with high temperatures mostly in the 50s. An onshore wind will keep it even cooler along the coastal areas.
SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/
An upper-level trough is forecast to be across the Northeast and Mid- Atlantic regions through Thursday night, then it shifts to our east to start Friday. Strong surface high pressure centered over the Great Lakes Thursday builds eastward through Thursday night, then shifts off the New England coast during Friday.
As the center of surface high pressure slides to our north but extends over our area Thursday night, a cold night is forecast with little to no wind and a dry air mass. Much of the area will drop into the low to mid 30s with some potential for some locations getting a little colder. Areas of frost are probable, and frost and/or freeze headlines are quite possible.
After a cold start Friday morning, the surface flow should start to become more southeast to even south-southeast. This will still keep some marine influence across the area, however the air mass is forecast to start modifying and therefore high temperatures will be a bit higher compared to Thursday. It will still be cooler though closer to the coast given the onshore flow. Another chilly night Friday night, however as the air mass continues to moderate the temperatures should be mild enough to keep frost not a concern at this point.
LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
Summary...A significant warm-up probable over the weekend and early next week. Some shower chances later in the weekend and/or early next week.
Synoptic Overview...A building ridge arrives from the west as an upper-level trough lifts across the Plains and into the Midwest through Monday. As the influence of the upper-level trough gets closer late Monday and Tuesday, the ridge shifts to our east. The timing of this however is less certain as the upper-level trough in the Plains may become a closed low which tend to be slower moving (may be two separate systems). This will also have an impact on our precipitation chances Sunday through Tuesday. The overall pattern though continues to suggest that a much warmer air mass will overspread our region Sunday through early next week.
For Saturday...A building ridge starts to arrive from the west and this will initially keep a cool air mass across our region. However, some warm air advection starts as more of a southerly return flow starts initiates. In addition, a warm front should lift to our north later Saturday. While a few showers cannot be ruled out with this warm front, the probability looks to be on the low side at this point. Cloud cover should dominate the sky during at least a portion of Saturday due to some increasing warm air advection, some increase in moisture, plus ahead of and with the warm front. The timing of this warm front looks to be driven by a lead upper-level trough or closed low that lifts across the Midwest which also has a surface low with it. As we start to get into the warm sector, the clouds should clear from south to north especially at night.
For Sunday through Tuesday...As an upper-level trough continues to lift up across the Plains and Midwest, the downstream ridge axis slides across our region Sunday and Monday before shifting offshore into Tuesday. Surface low pressure tracks across the Great Lakes and into adjacent Canada Monday into Tuesday, and its associated cold front approaches our area Monday night. The actual cold front may not slide across our area until later Tuesday. The details however will depend on the timing and amplification of the trough. In addition, high pressure sliding east of Hudson Bay Canada Monday into Tuesday may send a cold front down across New England and closer to our area. While this front may settle into at least our northern areas Monday night into Tuesday, it should not get to far south given the continued southerly flow ahead of the aforementioned trough from the west. Plenty of warm air with increasing dew points are therefore currently forecast across the area, with high temperatures for much of the area in the 70s to even some low to mid 80s. The surface flow however looks more south or even southeast at times and this will keep it several degrees cooler at the coastal communities compared to farther inland. There is a chance for some showers and thunderstorms, especially Monday and Tuesday, however the probabilities look to be on the lower side as of now.
AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas...
Rest of today...Mainly VFR. A brief period of MVFR conditions possible (10%) with some mainly isolated showers. 5% chance of a thunderstorm across northern terminals. Northwest winds 10 to 15 gusting 20 to 25 knots at times. High confidence.
Tonight...VFR. Winds diminishing to 5 to 10 knots through the evening and also shifting gradually to more northerly and eventually northeasterly overnight. High confidence.
Thursday...VFR. Northwest winds generally 5 to 10 knots before diminishing late day.
Outlook...
Friday...VFR.
Saturday and Sunday...A period of near MVFR ceilings possible Saturday, otherwise mainly VFR.
MARINE
Seas will remain elevated through tonight before slowly starting to come down through Thursday. For this reason, the Small Craft Advisory was extended to 16z Thursday for our northern ocean zone off the coast of Monmouth County with it running until 22z Thursday for the remaining ocean zones.
Northeast winds will increase later tonight to a brief period of SCA levels of 15 to 20 gusting up to 25 knots but should otherwise be sub SCA.
Outlook...
Friday through Sunday...The conditions are anticipated to be below Small Craft Advisory criteria.
