SYNOPSIS. A storm system will move across the Mid Atlantic and northeast states late tonight through Saturday night. This low will strengthen as it moves into the Canadian Maritimes early next week while high pressure builds to our north and west. This high will build across the east coast toward the end of the week.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/. Current conditions are slightly warmer than previously forecast and with some solid cloud cover moving in, we may not radiate as well as preciously thought. Not a lot of confidence at this time to make any changes to progged forecast for tonight but if current trends hold, there is the possibility of less freezing rain at the onset, especially in the southern tier of the current advisories. Definitely something to keep an eye on as the we progress through tonight.
Satellite imagery this afternoon shows a broad mid- latitude cyclone currently influencing weather across much of the eastern US. The system is centered across the Mississippi River Valley and is forecast to continue moving into the Ohio Valley then eventually toward the Mid- Atlantic by Saturday. At the surface, a 2 part low pressure system will be approaching the region from the south and west. The initial low across the Ohio Valley will weaken then the secondary low lifting north from the Gulf and across the Carolinas will become dominant and intensify as it moves north just inland from the coast toward the Mid- Atlantic. This low is forecast to briefly stall out across the region Saturday night then move slowly offshore on Sunday.
Precipitation is forecast to move in generally from southwest to northeast early Saturday morning. Can't rule out a brief period of sleet across the entire area at precip onset (timing dependent), but this will be a moderate to heavy rain event for most of the forecast area. North of I-78 and especially along the I-80 corridor including NW NJ and the southern Poconos, temperatures will be at or below freezing as rain (possibly mixed with sleet) moves into the region. Therefore, expecting a period of freezing rain to impact these areas through Saturday morning as temperatures slowly rise above freezing and precip switches to all rain by late morning into the early afternoon on Saturday. It now appears that most of the heaviest precipitation will move in after the transition to all rain occurs, therefore ice accretion amounts have been lowered. However, still expecting generally around 0.10" of ice with localized higher amounts in the typical areas that remain below freezing the longest (Mount Pocono, High Point, etc.) up to around 0.25" of ice accretion.
The surface low will be tracking directly over the area and warm air advection will be strong aloft and near the surface. PWats will also be anomalously high reaching up to 1.00+" across Delmarva and southern NJ. This combined with strong forcing for ascent and elevated instability in the 100-200 J/kg range will result in a band of moderate to heavy rain with embedded thunderstorms (rumbles of thunder) with thunder more probable along and south/east of I-95. Expect most of the area to get around 1-1.5" of rain total with locally higher amounts of 2"+ where heavy rain persists longer due to training. With the antecedent dry conditions and unfrozen ground, not expecting any widespread flooding or flash flooding concerns, however if 1-2" of rain falls fast enough localized flooding is certainly possible. Precip will end abruptly from west to east through the afternoon on Saturday. Some lingering showers are possible in the wake of the main rain band, especially up north, but most of the area will be dry slotted into the late afternoon and evening.
Expect easterly winds of 15-20 mph ahead of the rain band switching westerly around 5-10 mph behind the rain band. Temperatures will warm into the 50s along and south/east of I-95 with 40s toward the north. Dewpoints will also warm into the 50s so it'll feel a bit muggy for January. Clouds will begin clearing by late afternoon into the evening.
SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/. The low pressure system will be exiting the area on late Saturday night into Sunday. Skies will continue to clear across the south with some lingering stratus expected toward the north. Temps will drip into the low to mid 30s.
Some hi-res guidance indicates and area of snow showers will sweep across the southern Poconos and NW NJ Sunday morning. This could result in a brief dusting of snow. Otherwise, temps will warm into the mid to upper 40s with westerly winds around 15 mph.
LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/. Fairly quiet weather expected as low pressure continues to move away over Atlantic Canada while high pressure will gradually build down from the north and west with time. This will keep the region predominately in a dry W/NW flow through most of next week. Most days should feature a good deal of sunshine though some shortwaves riding through the upper level flow will bring some cloudier periods from time to time. Temperatures look to generally be near to a little above late January averages. Early indications are that the next storm system could impact the area next weekend but it's too early to forecast any specifics with this system.
AVIATION /03Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/. The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.
Tonight . VFR conditions will continue through the afternoon as high clouds fill over the region. MVFR CIGs will eventually move into the region through the evening and into the early overnight arriving between 05-08Z. Rain will work its way into the region overnight and start to move into the terminals after 08Z, with CIGs and VSBY restrictions dropping to IFR conditions by late tonight/early morning. Easterly winds from 5 to 10 knots this evening will increase to 10 to 15 knots after 08Z. High confidence in trends, moderate confidence in exact timing.
Saturday . IFR conditions with brief periods of improvement to MVFR conditions at times. Periods of moderate to even heavy rain at times through the morning and into the early with VSBY restrictions. A period of freezing rain is possible north of ABE and RDG through the morning. East to southeasterly winds from 10 to 15 knots will begin to turn westerly after 20Z from 10 to 15 knots. LLWS will develop out of the southeast by early morning with speeds around 40 to 50 knots at 2000ft. High confidence in forecast trend, moderate confidence in exact timing.
Outlook .
Saturday night . Conditions expected to improve to VFR during the evening and overnight. Winds westerly and may gust 15-20 knots at times. -Moderate confidence.
Sunday-Tuesday . Mainly VFR, though cigs could occasionally be MVFR at times due to stratus. Winds remain mainly west to northwest and may gust 15-20 knots at times through Tuesday. -Moderate confidence.
Wednesday . Mainly VFR with NW winds 5-10 knots.
MARINE. Seas are already exceeding 5 feet along the Atlantic coastal waters so have moved the SCA into effect as of now. Otherwise, expect winds to gradually increase on the ocean and Delaware Bay later tonight. Overnight, expect seas to continue building to 6-8 feet by daybreak. Winds will be onshore and sustained around 20-25 kts with some higher gusts possible overnight.
On Saturday, SCA conditions will remain area wide until after the passage of a band of moderate to heavy rain with some rumbles of thunder during the late morning and afternoon hours. Winds easterly around 20-25 kts. Seas 7-9 feet on oceans waters. For the northern-most areas of the ocean waters, a brief period of enhanced winds is forecast from the late morning through early afternoon hours. Winds may reach near gale force, but confidence on gales occurring is low given the setup so the Gale Watch was converted to a Small Craft Advisory.
Outlook .
Saturday night through Sunday . Offshore winds around 20 kts with some higher gusts possible. Waves 5-7 feet diminishing to around 5 feet Sunday.
Sunday night . Winds and waves are likely to remain above advisory levels into the evening before diminishing overnight.
Monday-Wednesday . Winds and waves should remain mainly below advisory levels through this period though winds could occasionally gust to near or just over 20 knots at times.
TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING. The combination of a new moon today, along with an onshore flow is expected to lead to areas of coastal flooding with the high tide Saturday. Currently, advisory-level flooding is expected at most locations along the ocean front, back bays, and Delaware Bay. However, there could be a few pockets of moderate flooding, depending on the exact timing of the storm. Based on current model guidance, no problems are anticipated along the upper eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay.
PHI WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. PA . Winter Weather Advisory until 10 AM EST Saturday for PAZ061- 062. Winter Weather Advisory until 1 PM EST Saturday for PAZ054-055. NJ .
