Marine Weather and Tides
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. Weak high pressure across the area today will weaken overnight. A front off to the south and east will meander back across the region while low pressure develop along it through Friday. These features will remain in place into early Saturday before more high pressure builds in for the later half of the weekend. Another set of disturbances will arrive for early next week.
NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/. The frontal boundary remains draped across the east coast, from southeast Canada, across the Mid-Atlantic states, then into the Southeast states. Meanwhile, high pressure will continue to move eastward out of the southern Great Lakes and toward the northeast states overnight. Other than an isolated shower or thunderstorm across southern Delaware due to lingering instability with CAPE values 500-1000 J/kg, mostly dry weather is expected for much of this evening into the first half of the overnight. The showers across southern Delaware will remain isolated this evening as there is no strong short waves at this time.
However, things look to change late in the night and today morning Thursday. A short wave/vorticity impulse will make its way into the area late in the overnight, toward daybreak Thursday. This will interact with some enhanced moisture and lift north of the stalled out frontal boundary, leading to an area of showers and embedded thunderstorms moving into the area around or shortly before daybreak. One thing to look for is that there is abundant moisture as evident from PW values 1.50-1.75 inches, so locally heavy rain is possible. Given how much rain has fallen over the last week or so, this may result in localized flooding should the higher rain amounts develop.
Otherwise, warm and humid with lows in the 60s to around 70.
SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/. Trough axis remains west of the region and several shortwaves will lift northeast through the region on Thursday. After the initial round of showers and thunderstorms in the morning, the best chances for showers and thunderstorms for the afternoon will be across the southern half of the forecast area. With abundant low level moisture in place, can expect some locally heavy rainfall. Clouds and rain will keep temperatures on the cooler side, generally upper 70s to the north to low 80s elsewhere.
LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/. A rather progressive upper pattern with mostly weak features and a meandering surface front will bring much of the weather in the long term part of the forecast. Temperatures for the first few days will be near normal, but readings will then go above normal for the balance of the period. Precipitation will be showery favoring mostly the Delmarva and srn NJ.
Thu night thru Fri night . The front across the south and an upper trough will set off numerous showers and scattered tstms Thu night with likely pops in the fcst. The feature will move away as the upper support fades on Friday so pops will decrease back to chc or slight chc pops by Fri night. Locally heavy rains may occur with the showers/tstms Friday.
The weekend . Overall, not a bad weekend expected weather-wise. The last of the showers associated with the front may linger across Delmarva early Sat with some chc pops in the grids. Sunday looks mostly fair attm. An upper ridge across the Srn states will begin to push up across the Ohio Valley and into the northern Middle Atlantic. A late day shower on Sunday is possible, but we'll just put pops at slight chc since overall the set up is not that great.
Next week . Not much change to the pattern, but a strengthening flow aloft across the Wrn and Central parts of the country will begin to usher some short waves across the Great Lakes and into the Northeast. The first one and its associated sfc features will arrive later Monday and a few more will near the area as we get towards the middle of the week. We will have chc pops in the fcst with the Tue period having the greatest chcs. Temperatures will continue above normal and humidity levels will start to climb back to uncomfortable levels again.
AVIATION /23Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/. The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.
Tonight . Mostly VFR conditions expected. Showers and embedded thunderstorms may begin to affect the TAF sites late in the night and toward daybreak. Patchy fog possible as well that would result in sub-VFR VSBYs but not included in the TAFS due to low confidence. West winds 5-10 knots, becoming light and variable overnight. Moderate confidence.
Thursday . Generally VFR conditions. Showers and embedded thunderstorms may affect the TAF sites during the morning into early afternoon hours which could result in temporary MVFR conditions from time to time. Showers and thunderstorms could linger across southern New Jersey, southern Delaware, and southern Maryland into the afternoon. Winds becoming northeast, then east winds 5-10 knots, except variable in TSRA. Low confidence.
Outlook . Thu night thru Fri night . Restrictions expected at times with frequent showers and tstms Thu night and more sct activity Fri and Fri night.
Sat thru Sunday . Mostly VFR. Patchy rural morning fog possible.
Monday . Mostly VFR but sct shower and tstms with lower conditions possible.
MARINE. Tonight and Thursday . Generally sub-SCA conditions, except in thunderstorms.
Outlook . sub-SCA conditions with sct showers and tstms (mostly) Thu night thru Fri night and again early next week.
Rip Currents .
The elevated rip current risk will continue the rest of today. On Thursday, wave heights will continue to fall towards 2 feet with with light east winds. This will allow for the rip current risk to be low.
EQUIPMENT. The NOAA Weather Radio All-Hazards broadcast from Hibernia Park Pennsylvania (Station WNG-704) remains off the air.
