AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
941 PM EDT Wed Jun 26 2019
Weather Synopsis:
High pressure across the southern states will expand across the
Middle Atlantic tonight through Friday. Low pressure will deepen
while moving across southern Canada this weekend. It will cause a
cold front to drop across the area later Saturday. More high
pressure will return for next week.
Near Term:
THROUGH THURSDAY -
A few showers are lingering in NE PA and S NY. The showers
should continue to diminish in coverage as they approach our
region over the next few hours. It still looks like it will be
mostly dry after midnight.
Dewpoints have recovered in many areas from the 50s that we saw
during the afternoon to mostly 60s over the region. That,
combined with the rain that some areas saw earlier, increases
the potential for fog development, so added a mention of patchy
fog, mostly to Carbon, Lehigh, and Berks Counties overnight.
Otherwise, no major changes with the previous forecast. Skies
will be mostly clear for the remainder of the overnight. Lows in
most spots will be in the 60s. Some of the Poconos should see
upper 50s. The highly urbanized locals shouldn`t drop below 70.
Short Term:
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY -
The mid-level ridge will build some the second half of tonight and
into Thursday morning. It then becomes mainly zonal during the day.
Surface high pressure will strengthen at the same time. As a result,
skies will be mostly sunny on Thursday and temperatures will be a
few degrees warmer than today. Apparent temps will be touch warmer,
but not as hot as what`s expected as we head into the weekend. Winds
will be light, less than 10 mph, and mainly from the west. The coast
will see a sea breeze develop. It should push inland.
Long Term:
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY -
The main story for the long term will be the continuation of the
above normal temperatures for much of the period. Highs Friday
and Saturday will be in the low to mid 90s across most areas
with only the higher elevations of the Poconos and perhaps some
shore areas escaping the 90s. Humidity levels will be moderate,
so apparent temperatures will be nearing 100 across Delmarva and
the urban corridor. The heat will temper some Sunday after a
cold front crosses the area. Highs Sunday (and Monday) will be
about 5 degrees cooler than Saturday. The 90s will return
towards the middle of next week, appropriate for early July.
Precipitation will be rather scattered most days Fri thru Sun.
The cold front (Sat night) will tend to try to focus some
activity, but we kept pops at only slgt chc or chc for now with
no good indication of which areas may be more favorable.
Mon/Tue will be dry for the most part with high pressure moving
in. More slight chc pops will be here for the middle of next
week as some weak disturbance begin to move towards the Middle
Atlantic.
