SYNOPSIS
Cold weather persists through Wednesday as high pressure remains in firm control through Thursday. An area of low pressure approaches on Friday with a cold front passing by Friday night. The weekend will start out dry on Saturday but will become increasingly more unsettled by Sunday and into early next week.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
A very cold and dry airmass continues to advect into the region as high pressure builds from the southwest into tonight. A trough axis will pass offshore this evening. Below normal temperatures will remain the story through the next 24-36 hours.
Clouds continue to clear this evening as the trough axis that triggered scattered snow showers earlier today begins to pivot offshore. A few light snow showers remain possible across the Pocono Plateau and Lehigh Valley over the next few hours, but the widespread chance for a few flurries has largely cleared out for the rest of the region as drier air continues to filter in. As the trough axis pushes offshore this evening, the strong cold advection will begin to wane. This combined with lack of diurnal heating will result in diminishing winds, decreasing cloud cover, and decreasing coverage of snow showers and flurries. The gradient will relax overnight and some radiational cooling should become apparent late in the night. Temperatures are forecast to fall well into the low 20s for much of the area, with the typical colder spots getting into the upper teens.
Minimum wind chills will be in the teens and in the single digits in the Poconos. West winds should diminish to near 5-10 mph after midnight.
The surface high pressure will begin to slide offshore Wednesday with the low-level flow shifting to the southwest. Some meager warm advection and airmass modification should begin by late in the day, but 850 mb temperatures -8C to -10C will still support temperatures maxing out in the mid to upper 30s for highs for most areas.
Southwest winds will increase to near 10-15 mph during the daytime.
Skies should remain mostly sunny aside from some passing clouds.
SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/
The short term period will be relatively quiet for the majority of the period. The last of the "cold" stretch of evenings will occur Wednesday night with temps in the 20s. High pressure shifts offshore and will be parked between the Carolina coast and Bermuda allowing southwest flow to ensue into Thursday. As a result, warm air advection will begin to make its way up into our region where temps will moderate through the end of the work week. Skies will be mostly clear to partly cloudy with highs in the mid 40s to low 50s.
By Thursday night, a weak impulse aloft embedded in the upper flow will be tracking near the Ozarks up into the interior Northeast. At the surface, an area of low pressure develops near OK/TX and generally moves in our direction through Friday night. An expansive cloud shield in association with this system will begin to move in early Friday, resulting in thickening clouds. This will result in noticeably warmer temps Thursday night compared to the night prior, with lows generally in the 30s.
Light rain begins to overspread the on Friday from west to east.
Some periods of moderate rain is possible Friday afternoon into the evening ahead of frontal passage early Saturday. 850mb temps do look to be quite warm thanks to the warm air advection occuring earlier in the period, thus only expecting rain for this event. Early estimation of rainfall totals is around 1/4 to 1/2 inch or so across the entire area. Temps Friday and Friday night will be similar to those on Thursday and Thursday night.
LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
Overall, the forecast for the long term period looks to become unsettled but also increasingly more uncertain. The upper level trough deepens over the central portion of the US with several shortwaves tracking around the base of the trough. This leads to several opportunities for the potential for some precipitation throughout the period.
The first shortwave should approach late Saturday into Saturday night. However, the atmosphere profiles are relatively moisture- starved following the frontal passage the night before. So have kept a drier start to the weekend than the NBM has suggested. The next shortwave approaches on Sunday with another stronger wave approaching Monday into Tuesday. Given that moisture will increase throughout the period have included a chance of PoPs (~30-40%)
during the entire Sunday to Tuesday timeframe. To summarize, the weather pattern to end the weekend and into early next week is highly variable and thus remains uncertain. Temps will be above normal through the period so precipitation is expected to be in the form of rain, however as temps cool at night, wouldn't completely rule out some mixed precip in the higher elevations.
AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.
Tonight...VFR. W winds around 10-15 kts with gusts near 20-25 kts for the first half of the night, diminishing to around 8-12 kts with gusts ceasing around 5-6z. High confidence.
Wednesday...VFR. W winds 5-10 kts in the morning will turn more SW around 8-12 kts by the afternoon. Scattered stratocumulus deck may develop in the afternoon. High confidence.
Outlook...
Wednesday night...VFR. SW-W winds around 5 kt. High confidence.
Thursday through Thursday night...VFR. SW-W winds around 5-10 kt during the day, becoming S-SW winds around 5-10 kt at night. High confidence.
Friday through Friday night...Sub-VFR likely with periods of light to moderate rain especially during the afternoon and evening. S-SW winds around 10-15 kt during the day, becoming NW-N winds around 5- 10 kt at night following cold frontal passage. Moderate confidence.
Saturday through Saturday night...VFR during the day, with potentially sub-VFR at night with some rain showers. NE-E winds around 5-10 kt during the day, becoming N-NE winds around 5-10 kt at night. Low confidence.
Sunday...Sub-VFR expected with rain showers. N winds around 10-15 kt with gusts up to 20 kt possible. Low confidence.
MARINE
A Gale Warning remains in effect for all coastal waters through midnight tonight. Winds near 25-30 kts with gale force gusts around 35-40 kts this afternoon will begin to subside later this evening. A Small Craft Advisory will be needed once the Gale Warning expires as seas remain elevated and wind gusts remain near 20-25 kts. Seas 3-6 feet. Aside from a chance of flurries, fair weather is expected.
Outlook...
Wednesday night...Small Craft Advisory conditions likely to continue. SW-W wind around 15-20 kt with gusts up to 25-28 kt.
Seas of 3-5 feet.
Thursday through Thursday night...SW-W winds around 10-15 kt with gusts up to 20-25 kt. Seas of 2-4 feet. At this time, no marine headlines are warranted, but will need to watch wind gusts in the afternoon/evening for the potential for a Small Craft Advisory.
Friday through Friday night...Small Craft Advisory conditions possible. SW-W winds around 15-20 kt with gusts up to 25 kt during the day becoming NW-N winds around 10 kt at night. Seas of 3-5 feet.
