Synopsis for the coastal waters from sandy hook nj to fenwick island de and for delaware bay.. High pressure builds into the region from quebec on Tuesday. Another weak low will develop to our south Tuesday night through Wednesday as it moves off the north carolina coast then out to sea. The end of the work week into the first half of next weekend should then be dominated by high pressure. A deep area of low looks to then lift north and west of our region by late weekend into early next week as it moves through the great lakes into eastern canada.

SYNOPSIS
High pressure builds into the region from Quebec on Tuesday. Another weak low will develop to our south Tuesday night through Wednesday as it moves off the North Carolina coast then out to sea. The end of the work week into the first half of next weekend should then be dominated by high pressure. A deep area of low looks to then lift north and west of our region by late weekend into early next week as it moves through the Great Lakes into eastern Canada.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/
A brief period of shortwave ridging this morning will give way to 80-100 meter 12 hour height falls by this evening downstream of a digging, positively tilted upper trough. A weak surface low will follow suit and dive southeast out of the Midwest but weaken as it does so. With flow remaining out of the northwest, we won't see a notable increase in low-level moisture, but moisture will increase in the mid-levels coincident with PVA downstream of the trough axis, and the most notable sensible weather of the day will be clouds thickening and lowering through the day. Not expecting any precipitation through the daytime hours as the low tracks to our southwest and really starts to fall apart as it hits the Appalachians. Erred on the cool side of guidance closer to NBM10th with highs in the low to mid 40s owing to the cloud coverage and weak cold advection aloft.
A secondary center of low pressure will develop off the coast of the Carolinas tonight and a north to northwest pressure gradient will tighten between it and building high pressure to our southwest, keeping at least a light breeze in place overnight. A shortwave embedded in the trough will cross through just south Delmarva around midnight, and we'll also be placed just on the periphery of the left exit region of a departing jet streak. This may be enough to squeeze out some precipitation in southeast PA/Delmarva, but with forcing from the surface low likely a good distance offshore and near surface moisture still lacking, not expecting coverage to be too widespread. That said, forecast soundings do show the entire profile below freezing with surface temperatures hovering right around the freezing mark in southeast PA, so if any wet bulb effects occur with the near-surface dry air, some flurries/light snow showers may result; it will be too warm across Delmarva for anything but rain. Not expecting any impacts from snow showers if they develop as even NBM 90th percentile snow amount is zilch. NBM probability of measurable liquid precip is 20-30% across Delmarva, so will follow suit with its slight chance PoP mention here. With lingering mid-level moisture, clouds should be around overnight though there may be some breaks as surface ridging noses in from the southwest. Lows will bottom out in the low to mid 30s.
SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/
Could see some of the light precip from the aforementioned shortwave trough and coastal low linger into Wednesday morning, but impacts will remain limited. The best chances for seeing any precip will be over Delmarva and far southern NJ but even around Philly there could be a few rain drops or snowflakes. A few of our higher elevations across the Pocono Plateau and Lehigh Valley could see a few flurries as well with modest NW flow behind the departing low, though any precipitation will be fighting with a dry airmass. By Wednesday afternoon, some partial clearing may occur but the weak December sun combined with brisk northerly winds will mean highs only reach the upper 30 to mid 40s.
High pressure will ridge northward from the Southeastern US Wednesday night, helping clear skies and allow winds to decouple.
This favorable radiational cooling setup will allow temperatures to drop into the 20s as a result.
Most of the region will see high pressure dominate into Thursday as well, though a weak shortwave through embedded within an upper level jet streak will move across southern New England and clip the Poconos and Lehigh Valley with some light rain/snow showers or flurries. Any precip here is not expected to become impactful. Temperatures will remain about 5 degrees below climo during the afternoon with highs in the mid 30s to mid 40s once again. High pressure will continue to dominate into Thursday night with dry conditions and an overnight low in the mid to upper 20s once again.
LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/
A mid-level ridge is expected to move over the region on Friday and build into Saturday. The ridge continues to amplify offshore Saturday night and Sunday as a trough digs across the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley and shifts eastward. The trough is forecast to move through the region Sunday night. What looks to be weak transient ridging or at least zonal flow should be in place for Monday.
In terms of sensible weather or impacts, things should be fairly benign Friday and Saturday with gradual warming bringing afternoon highs into the 50s. The strengthening low across the Midwest will begin to approach overnight Saturday into Sunday. Highest PoPs at this time are on Sunday, though there remains some model spread on whether or not the heaviest precip arrives in the morning or afternoon. Regardless, this early winter cold front could be a bit dynamic as surface low pressure deepens over the Great Lakes and tilting becomes negative, allowing robust warm air advection and moisture advection to ensue. Will need to continue monitoring this system for any changes that would raise concerns for heavier rainfall or stronger winds. Highs on Sunday could reach into the upper 50s and low 60s before the cold front pushes through. Monday will see cooler temperatures near climo behind the departing cold front.
