Fxus61 kphi 260758 afdphi area forecast discussion national weather service mount holly nj 358 am edt Mon aug 26 2019 Synopsis High pressure over new england will weaken and drift eastward through Tuesday. Low pressure will cross to our north, dragging a cold front through the mid-atlantic Wednesday night. High pressure will build in from the southwest for Thursday and Friday. A cold front will cross the region Saturday followed by a return to high pressure for Sunday and Monday. Near term until 6 pm this evening High pressure will remain NE of the area today. A moderate NE to e flow around the high will continue with gusty conditions, especially along the coast. Sky cover will be mostly clear inland and partly to mostly cloudy elsewhere. Locations across de and S E nj will see the most clouds today. High temperatures will remain cool with readings topping out in the low 70s N W to the mid 70s elsewhere. There may be some light showers across the SE areas, but pops will be held at slight chc, since confid in the occurrence is not the greatest attm. Short term 6 pm this evening through 6 am Tuesday More of the same in the short term. The high will begin to weaken, so the winds will decrease. The flow will still remain onshore, so added clouds and still a small chc for a shower will continue across ern nj and de. Lows tonight will remain cool, with low mid 50s across the N W areas and upper 50s low 60s elsewhere. Long term Tuesday through Sunday High pressure remains to our north on Tuesday with the high starting to slide to the east through Wednesday, breaking down as its moves offshore. This will keep the cooler easterly flow across the forecast area on Tuesday and Wednesday. With the airmass modifying, even in the prolonged onshore flow, we should see temps warm into the 70s and lower 80s across the region on Tuesday, with better chances for lower 80s on Wednesday. Expect conditions to remain fairly cloudy as a result of the easterly flow and some light precipitation is also possible on Tuesday, mainly across southern parts of the forecast area. The bigger story for Wednesday will be the arrival of a cold front later in the day. Warming ahead of the front and a turning of the winds to a more southerly direction should aid in destabilization of the atmosphere. Showers and thunderstorms will be possible from Wednesday afternoon through Wednesday night. Rainfall amounts aren't that impressive with the latest model runs and there appears to be good storm motions so expect everything to be fairly progressive through Wednesday night. Once the front clears the area, we should see a return to high pressure and some dry conditions. A weak cold front approaches the region from the west on Friday but it looks like it peters out before it reaches our area. Overall expect nice conditions to prevail across the mid-atlantic from Thursday through Saturday. The next system will arrive around Sunday, and this cold front looks to be a bit more substantial than the Friday front. However, there are still quite a few differences in the guidance with respect to timing and moisture, so we have made few changes to the forecast. Plenty of time for the models to come in alignment as we get closer to the weekend. Aviation 08z Monday through Friday The following discussion is for kphl, kpne, kttn, kabe, krdg, kilg, kmiv, kacy and surrounding areas. Today... Ne to E onshore flow will continue.VFR most of the time, but some MVFR CIGS possible kmiv kacy this morning and perhaps into the early afternoon. Gusty winds nearshore kacy with g20 knots possible. Tonight... A continuation of the onshore winds, butVFR expected most of the time. Again, some lower CIGS near the coast possible. This is not reflected in the current tafs with confid in this occurring not the best. Outlook... Tuesday... MainlyVFR conditions expected. Light showers possible south and west of kphl which may cause MVFR or lower conditions to occur. Easterly winds around 5 to 10 knots with gusts up to 15 knots possible.

Wednesday... MainlyVFR conditions expected. MVFR or lower possible in showers and thunderstorms. Light and variable winds up to 5 knots. Thursday... MainlyVFR conditions expected. Northwest winds around 5 to 10 knots. Friday... MainlyVFR conditions expected. Northwest winds around 5 to 10 knots will become west and then southwest by the afternoon. Marine Sca winds and seas will continue today and tonight with a decent ne to E flow around the strong high to the ne. The high will weaken later tonight with lessening winds and then seas. We will extend the sca flag on the ocean through the overnight. Only some widely sct. Showers are possible today and tonight with the humid NE flow. Outlook... Tuesday... Small craft advisory conditions may linger into Tuesday morning as seas will be around 5 feet. Seas are expected to subside and drop below 5 feet around midday. East to northeast winds around 10 to 15 knots with gusts around 20 knots. Wednesday... Easterly winds around 10 knots. Seas 2 to 4 feet. Thursday... Northwest winds around 10 knots. Seas 1 to 3 feet. Friday... West to southwest winds around 10 to 15 knots. Seas 1 to 3 feet. Rip currents... a high risk of rip currents is expected today and tonight. Continued onshore flow and rough surf, with wave heights near or above 5 ft, will continue through today and may possibly extend into Tuesday. Tides coastal flooding A brisk northeast wind is forecast to continue along the coasts of new jersey and delaware through late today. The wind is expected to become east with speeds slowly diminishing on tonight and Tuesday. The onshore flow may result in spotty minor tidal flooding around the times of the late afternoon evening high tide today and Tuesday. However, the minor flooding is not anticipated to be widespread enough to warrant an advisory at this time. The base level of the early morning high tides are considerably lower than those of the late afternoon evening high tides, so no issues are expected early in the day today or Tuesday. Once we get past the early week's onshore flow, we will begin to experience particularly high astronomical tides associated with the upcoming new moon phase. As a result, there is another potential for at least some spotty minor tidal flooding from late this week into the holiday weekend. Equipment The NWS radar at dover de, (kdox) is back in service. Phi watches warnings advisories Pa... None. Nj... High rip current risk through this evening for njz014-024>026. De... High rip current risk through this evening for dez004. Md... None. Marine... Small craft advisory until 6 am edt Tuesday for anz450>455. Small craft advisory until 8 pm edt this evening for anz430- 431. Synopsis... Meola near term... O'hara short term... O'hara long term...

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
