SYNOPSIS. A couple of cold fronts will move through the northern Mid- Atlantic tonight and Thursday. A strong and broad region of high pressure will build slowly southeastward into the eastern U.S. this weekend, lingering in the western Atlantic through the middle of next week.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/. Today . Mostly zonal flow aloft and a surface high ridging in from the SW will bring more fair weather to the area today. Mostly sunny skies are expected and with the coldest air now displaced NE of the region, temperatures will respond with more spring-like readings. Highs today will range from the mid/upper 40s for the NW areas to the low/mid 50s for Delmarva, SE PA and much of central and southern NJ. Winds will be mostly SW to W at 5 to 10 mph.
Tonight . An upper air vort max and very weak sfc low cross NE PA and nrn NJ this evening. A couple clouds and a wind shift will be all that is noticed with the feature. The winds shift will be with a cold front which will bring more cooler and drier air to the area late tonight and into the Short term. Lows tonight will be mostly 30 to 35 degrees for srn NJ and metro Philadelphia. Further north into the Lehigh Valley and nrn NJ lows will be in the upper 20s.
SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/. The main concern this period will be winds and fire-weather concerns, the latter particularly on Friday.
Large-scale troughing will become established in eastern Canada, extending southward along the East Coast, through the period. A vort max will dig southward on Thursday through New England, bringing a reinforcing cold front through the area during the day. Scant moisture downstream of the perturbation should preclude substantive precipitation from occurring, though it is not completely out of the question that a few flurries are observed in the Poconos.
The main issue for Thursday and Friday will be winds, with strong cold advection on Thursday resulting in colder temperatures (highs generally ten degrees colder on Thursday than Wednesday and another five or so degrees colder on Friday). Model soundings suggest mixing to 900-850 mb during this period, and with northwest flow in excess of 30 kt at these levels, a prolonged period of breezy to windy conditions is expected. Generally expect winds of 10 to 20 mph with gusts in excess of 30 mph Thursday afternoon through Friday, with locally higher gusts in the usual vulnerable locations.
Particularly concerning is the very dry look to the model soundings on Friday (with the GFS suggesting dew points near or even below 0 degrees in portions of the CWA, for example; notably, the NAM is about ten degrees higher). Statistical guidance is likely much too high with dew points during this period, so lowered these several degrees (especially on Friday). See the fire weather discussion below for more details on this particular threat.
Winds should be on the downward trend Friday night as high pressure to our northwest makes its slow approach, but the pressure gradient should be high enough to maintain some mixing in the boundary layer. Therefore, expecting lows Friday night to be similar to Thursday night . mainly in the 20s across the area with teens north of I-80.
LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/. This period will feature the beginning of a pattern change, with a stout warming trend early next week after a cold weekend.
The large-scale trough along the East Coast will remain in place through the weekend, as several vorticity maxima digging southeastward from southern Canada into the Mid-Atlantic contribute to continued deepening of the primary trough. Eventually, a potent shortwave trough will allow for pivoting and eventual progression of the longwave trough to the western Atlantic by Monday. This upper-level evolution will permit cold high pressure from Canada to build gradually into the eastern U.S., keeping conditions dry and temperatures lower than seasonal averages. Guidance has been trending downward somewhat with temperatures this weekend, and given the unusually deep amplitude to the trough (and strength of the upstream surface high), this seems reasonable.
Upstream of the deep trough, a broad but somewhat flat ridge will become the main player in our region early next week. Models are indicating a weak system shifting through the ridge Monday and Tuesday, reaching eastern Canada and adjacent portions of the Northeast on Tuesday. The GFS looks quite aggressive with the southward extent of large-scale lift and precipitation with this system. However, the 00z ECMWF has trended in this direction as well, though remaining noticeably farther north with QPF. Given the strength of the surface high and the high-amplitude nature of the upper pattern, I am skeptical of impacts in our CWA currently. Thus, a dry forecast remains through Day 7. With increasing heights and a return to west to southwest midlevel flow, expect a pronounced warming trend early next week, with highs probably approaching 60 in portions of the CWA by Tuesday.
AVIATION /07Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/. The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.
Today . VFR. Skies mostly SKC. Southwest winds 5 to 10 knots this morning then W to NW winds this afternoon. A few gusts closer to 20 knots possible for KACY. Overall, high confid.
Tonight . VFR. Mostly SKC. Light NW or N winds. High confid.
Outlook .
Thursday through Sunday . VFR through the period. High confidence. Winds will generally be northwesterly, with speeds of 10 to 20 kt with gusts to 30 kt Thursday and Friday and generally 5 to 15 kt during the weekend.
MARINE. Today . Fair weather expected. SW winds will increase early with some 30 to 40 knot winds not far off the deck. I will be tough to mix this down with an overall warm advection pattern above the cold water, but some low-end SCA gusts can't be ruled out so we issued a SCA until 20Z today. Seas will probably not have enough time to build close to 5 ft, with mostly 2 to 3 ft seas expected.
Tonight . Fair weather continues. Winds will switch around to N or NW overnight behind a cold front.
Outlook .
Thursday . Conditions approaching advisory criteria, with northwest winds increasing to 15 to 25 kt by late afternoon.
Thursday night and Friday . Advisory conditions expected, with marginal gale conditions possible.
Friday night . Advisory-level northwest winds should continue, though speeds will be diminishing with time.
Saturday through Sunday . Sub-advisory conditions expected.
FIRE WEATHER. A prolonged period of dry weather is expected across the region, lasting for at least a week. Additionally, frequently breezy conditions will occur, especially on Thursday and Friday. As a couple cold fronts move through the region tonight and Thursday, very dry air will become established across the Mid-Atlantic by Friday. Winds will likely remain elevated, with speeds and gusts readily exceeding 20 mph. This setup will allow for minimum relative humidity readings well below 30 percent on Friday. We will continue to coordinate with fire-weather partners through the week to determine if fuels will be sufficiently dry to support the need for special weather statements and/or fire weather products on Friday. Though winds will be lighter this weekend, dew points will remain unusually low, so conditions may be close to fire-weather thresholds several days in a row.
