Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 1020 AM EDT Sun Apr 5 2020

SYNOPSIS. A ridge of high pressure will remain over the region today before a weak cold front crosses the area this afternoon. High pressure returns for Monday while a disturbance will bring unsettled conditions for the middle of the upcoming week. Another low and its fronts should begin to impact the region towards the end of the work week.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/. A flattening H5 ridge will crest the area today while a weak surface trough (extending from a primary low center in northern Quebec) will slowly push towards the area. This setup will result in a dry day, with noticeably warmer temperatures as W/SW flow prevails ahead of the aforementioned trough. High temperatures will generally run in the mid 60s with upper 60s possible in spots.

Cloud cover will be somewhat tricky as multiple cloud types will likely be present at various times. First some stratus is currently lingering over portions of the area this morning as a weak shortwave dives down from the northwest. These clouds should thin out/push east as this feature passes later this morning, but cirrus will quickly overspread the area as the ridge axis passes. We will also see some diurnal mid-lvl cu develop in the afternoon. Given these factors went with a partly sunny forecast, but this may give way to partly cloudy conditions later in the afternoon as the cirrus moves out.

SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM MONDAY/. A weak cold front will pass through the area late tonight, and this combined with a weak shortwave impulse will likely be sufficient to produce some light rain over portions of the area. Not an overly impressive dynamic setup by any means so kept PoPs only at Chc. lvls and limited QPF to a few hundredths. Drier air filtering in behind the cold front should push precip out by early Monday morning. Overnight lows will run in the mid to upper 40s, with mins tending to be colder in the north due to an earlier timing of frontal passage and scattering clouds.

LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/. High pressure builds during the day on Sunday as modest warm air advection begins. Upper level flow will be slightly northwest as a ridge builds into the region by Tuesday. Heading into the overnight hours Tuesday we'll see a shortwave track through the Great Lakes across PA and into the Mid-Altantic which will lead to increasing chances for showers Tuesday night into Wednesday night. With increasing dew points and mild temps the is the possibility for some of the showers to have embedded thunderstorms however I dont expect the thunderstorms to be that strong.

Behind that system we'll see another phased low pressure system take a similar track to the Tuesday night system that will bring a strong cold front through the region. The GFS and GEM switched places from last night so I used a GFS/EC blend for timing. We'll continue to monitor but as temperatures will drop back to normal Friday and then remain either normal or below into next weekend. Some higher elevation snow showers are possible next weekend.

AVIATION /14Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/. The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.

Today . VFR expected through the day with a mixture of mid (5-7k ft) and high clouds. Winds generally W/SW around 5-10kts. High confidence.

Tonight . Mostly VFR, although a brief period of MVFR may be possible early Monday morning. Some light rain showers will be possible overnight. Winds will likely be initially WSW or variable around 5 kts, but will then shift to the north 5-10 kts in the 06- 10Z timeframe. Moderate confidence on prevailing VFR, high confidence on winds.

Outlook .

Monday . VFR conditions expected. Northwest to west around 5 to 10 knots. Moderate confidence.

Tuesday . Generally VFR conditions expected. Light southwest winds less than 10 knots. Moderate confidence.

Wednesday . Areas of MVFR or lower conditions possible in showers with isolated thunderstorms. Westerly winds 10 knots or less. Moderate confidence with low confidence on thunderstorms.

Thursday . Generally VFR with MVFR or lower conditions possible in showers. Southerly winds around 5 to 10 knots. Low confidence.

MARINE. The SCA for high seas remains in effect through 4 AM Monday morning. Seas in the 6-7 ft range this morning will gradually come down to 4- 5 ft by early Monday morning. SW winds will increase through the day becoming sustained 10-15 kts with gusts to 20kts by late this afternoon.

Outlook .

Monday thru Wednesday . Generally sub-SCA. Seas up to 3 feet with winds less than 15kts. Showers begin to arrive Tuesday night into Wednesday.

TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING. There was another round of localized minor tidal flooding this morning in New Jersey and Delaware, and up into the tidal Delaware River. Tidal departures are forecast to continue decreasing, so no additional issues are anticipated in those areas with two exceptions. Water is expected to remain trapped in Barnegat Bay in New Jersey, and in Little Assawoman Bay in southeastern Delaware into this afternoon due to the persistent long period easterly swell. As a result, we have issued a Coastal Flood Statement for those locations.

Water also remains trapped in Chesapeake Bay. It is forecast to result in some minor flooding with the high tide this afternoon into this evening along the upper eastern shore. A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect there.

PHI WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. PA . None. NJ . None. DE . None. MD . Coastal Flood Advisory until 10 PM EDT this evening for MDZ008- 012. Coastal Flood Advisory until 7 PM EDT this evening for MDZ015- 019-020. MARINE . Small Craft Advisory until 4 AM EDT Monday for ANZ450>455.
