Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 1216 PM EST Sun Dec 8 2019
SYNOPSIS. High pressure will shift off to the east today. A warm front will move through the region Monday as an area of low pressure tracks through the Great Lakes. A cold front associated with that low will then approach and move through the area on Tuesday and into Tuesday night. A wave of low pressure tracking along the front will likely affect the mid-Atlantic Tuesday night into Wednesday. Strong high pressure will build in Thursday and into Friday. Unsettled weather may return by next weekend.
NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/. 12:30 AM Update . Adjusted temperatures and dew points to match current observations, then warmed them slightly this afternoon. Increased cloud cover a tad this afternoon given the cirrus on their way from the Midwest. Rain is still on par to move in overnight. Tomorrow will be a far cry from today's seasonable weather. Previous Forecast . High pressure builds offshore of the east coast through today, which will set up a return flow across the area. Dry weather remains across the area as there is little moisture across the area as evident of PW values less than 0.50 inches. Clouds will increase through the day, especially later this afternoon as a short wave moves into the area from the west. As wind shift to a southerly direction today, a few gusts around 15-20 mph will be possible.
SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM MONDAY/. The evening will start out dry across the area with increasing cloud cover. However, as the low levels become saturated, and more moisture lifts across the area ahead of a warm front approaching from the south, areas of precipitation may develop for many areas. Initially, some patchy light rain or drizzle may develop as the low levels become saturated as the low level inversion become more pronounced. As the deeper saturation develops north of the approaching warm front and short wave, the drizzle will likely become a steadier light rain for many areas. The overnight hours will not be a super soaker, but that will likely change for Monday. If the precipitation begins early enough across portions of northeast Pennsylvania and northern New Jersey, some sleet may mix in for a brief period, before changing to all rain.
LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/. Overview .
An active week of weather is ahead, as multiple disturbances will be impacting the region with several periods of precipitation. The most prominent synoptic feature for the first half of the week will be a Great Lakes low passing to our west Monday and into Tuesday, leading to a major warm-up but also a prolonged unsettled stretch. By late Tuesday night and into Wednesday, we will be watching what happens behind the cold frontal passage associated with the Great Lakes low. A wave of low pressure behind the front could bring some snow to the area during that time. Strong high pressure and cold air look to build in towards the end of the work week. By next weekend, most indications are that active weather will return, though uncertainty is high during that period.
Dailies .
Monday-Monday night . As low pressure moves across the Great Lakes, a warm frontal passage will bring a period of rain to the region, especially during the afternoon, evening, and early overnight. In addition, an area of moisture offshore looks to get entrained in the strong low level southerly flow behind the warm front. This could further enhance rainfall especially in coastal areas. Mainly light to moderate rain is expected but could see a couple downpours. Rain should taper off later Monday night especially to the south, with an unseasonably warm overnight expected. Also some wind concerns Monday as guidance indicates 60 kt or more of wind possible at 850mb. However, as usual in cold season southerly flow, the low levels look pretty stable and much of that wind will fail to mix down. So right now expecting surface gusts to stay mostly under 30mph but there is some room for those numbers to go up if thermodynamic profiles start to look a little more favorable.
Tuesday . We'll still be under the broad sphere of influence of the same weather system from the prior day on Tuesday, with a cold front approaching from the west. I have a suspicion Tuesday may actually turn out to be a decent day at least over its first half, as we briefly get deeper into the warm sector. Reduced PoPs dramatically for the morning hours, still at chance levels but even that may be too high especially to the east. As the front gets closer and a vorticity impulse tracks up along it, another steadier period of rain or showers is likely by later in the day. Very warm Tuesday as well ; many areas will break into the 60s, and some guidance suggests parts of Delmarva could exceed 70, though did not go that far yet. Between Monday and Tuesday, total rainfall should range from 1 to 2 inches. Not expecting this to cause any noteworthy hydro issues based on current hydrologic conditions, maybe just isolated nuisance or poor drainage flooding during any periods of heavier rain.
Tuesday night-Wednesday night . Uncertainty increases here. The approaching cold front slows down as it crosses the region, and guidance indicates multiple additional impulses will ride up along the front Tuesday night and early Wednesday. This should lead to steady precip continuing through Wednesday morning, and with colder air seeping in there will be ptype concerns this period. Guidance indicates a change to snow from west to east Tuesday night into Wednesday, with varying degrees of overlap between colder air and QPF. Am always skeptical of setups like this, as it is a game of "thread the needle" to actually get accumulating snow in the coastal plain, which is where it looks like QPF will be most focused this period. We've seen two similar setups this season with negligible snowfall. While this one does look a little more impressive, I'd need to see signals a little stronger in the guidance before I'd be on board for more than a nuisance snow event. Surface temps will likely stay above freezing even after the change over, with snow ratios likely to be well below 10:1 in most areas. So while early indications are that some light snow accumulations are possible, not holding expectations too high. There was somewhat of a trend with this cycle to shift the trailing impulses and associated precip a little further west. If the westward trend continues, there may be a better shot of accumulating snow in the interior since those areas will be colder. Everything should pull away Wednesday afternoon and evening with dry weather returning and a cold night with continued CAA. Another reinforcing cold front may move through during the night Wednesday, but it looks to be a dry frontal passage save for maybe a snow shower or squall in the Poconos.
Thursday-Friday . Dry weather, but also quite cold as strong high pressure builds in. Thursday looks especially cold, with highs likely struggling to crack the freezing mark in most areas just two days removed from being in the 60s. Lows Thursday night may be colder than currently forecast as it will probably be a good night for radiational cooling. Some moderation occurs by Friday but still below average. Probably still dry as well, assuming the GFS is too fast with bringing in the next system from the south, with the high remaining nearby.
Next weekend . A lot of uncertainty, mainly to do with timing differences in the guidance on an area of low pressure coming up from the south. Given active weather earlier in the week didn't dive too deep here and kept the forecast for this period close to consensus and the previous forecast. Best guess at this point would be that Saturday is an unsettled day with potentially some clearing by Sunday. Early indications are for mainly rain with the system next weekend, but we will fine tune as it gets closer.
AVIATION /17Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/. The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.
Today . VFR conditions will continue through today with mostly high level cirrus clouds through most of the day. Clouds will increase through the day however. Light and variable winds early increase out of the southeast, then south through today as high pressure builds offshore of the east coast. Speeds will be mostly 5-10 knots, with occasional gusts around 15-20 knots. High confidence.
Tonight . Clouds continue to increase in coverage and lower with their heights through the evening and overnight. MVFR conditions are expected to develop by 05z-06z and lower through the overnight into early morning hours Monday. Light rain or drizzle may also develop by 05z-06z, before becoming a steadier rain by daybreak Monday. South to southeast winds around 5 knots during the evening will become light and variable for most places overnight. Moderate confidence.
Outlook .
Monday-Monday night . MVFR or IFR conditions likely in periods of rain. Steady southwest winds likely, with gusts to 30 kt possible at times. LLWS is likely as well. Moderate confidence.
Tuesday . Could be a period of VFR conditions Tuesday morning, but a return to MVFR or IFR is likely later in the day as more rain moves in. West-southwest winds of 10 to 20 kt. Moderate confidence.
Tuesday night-Wednesday . IFR likely Tuesday night into Wednesday morning with rain changing to snow. By later Wednesday, conditions may trend towards MVFR or VFR. Winds becoming west-northwesterly for most of this period with speeds around 10 kt. Moderate confidence.
Wednesday night-Thursday . VFR. Light northwest winds becoming northerly on Thursday. Moderate confidence.
MARINE. Today-tonight . Conditions on the waters are expected to remain below advisory levels through most of the day as high pressure shifts offshore. However, a brief period of Small Craft Advisory levels winds are expected for the Atlantic coastal waters from Great Egg Inlet northward later this afternoon into this evening. Winds will diminish back below advisory levels overnight.
Outlook .
Monday-Tuesday night . Marine headlines are likely for the early part of the week. Mainly SCA conditions expected from Monday through Tuesday night. Considered a Gale Watch for Monday and Monday night; while current forecast keeps conditions below gale force, cannot rule out a period of southerly gales on Monday. Winds turning southwesterly Monday night and Tuesday then northwesterly on Tuesday night with gusts mainly 25 to 30 kt, but decreasing on Tuesday night. Seas 5 to 9 ft.
Wednesday . Conditions are expected to fall to sub-SCA levels with lighter northwest winds and 3 to 4 ft seas.
Wednesday night-Thursday . Current forecast calls for marginal SCA level conditions with north-northeasterly winds gusting to around 25 kt. Building seas later in the week will likely yield additional marine headlines.
PHI WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. PA . None. NJ . None. DE . None. MD . None. MARINE . Small Craft Advisory from 5 PM this afternoon to 1 AM EST Monday for ANZ450>452.
