Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 915am EDT Sat Oct 5 2024 Synopsis In the wake of a dissipating cold front crossing the region early this morning, surface high pressure builds in for the weekend. A stronger cold front will cross the region early monday. Surface high pressure then controls the region through the rest of next week. Near Term - Through Sunday 915 AM...Visibility is improving so we've cancelled the Dense Fog Advisory that we had in effect over Delmarva. Otherwise, no major changes to the forecast at this time. Original discussion follows below. High pressure builds southward into the region for today, with relatively light northerly winds and plenty of sunshine returning. Highs should tick up a bit compared to yesterday, with mid- upper 70s common and a few spots sneaking up to 80. Radiational cooling will predominate tonight with the high passing to the north and northeast and winds lightening under clear skies. Lows mostly in the 40s...coldest spots in the Poconos could touch the 30s, with warmer urban and coastal locations in the 50s. Winds become easterly as the high shifts further east on Sunday, then shift southerly late. This modest oceanic influence, combined with a cooler start, may be enough to keep Sunday just slightly cooler than Saturday, but guidance has gotten closer together for highs compared to 24 hours ago. All-in-all, its the sunny weekend we've all be waiting for after what feels like a month of clouds. Short Term - Sunday Night Through Tuesday Cold front looks to cross through the region late Sunday night into early Monday morning with surface high pressure then building in behind. Scattered to widespread shower activity anticipated during the Sunday night period thanks to the cold front. Showers will likely be moving into the western portion of the region late in the evening but look to hold off for much of the region until near or after midnight. A couple rumbles of thunder may occur but is not expected to be widespread with little instability and the overnight timing of frontal passage. The front looks to push offshore by mid-morning Monday bringing a rapid end to any showers. Skies will clear out as high pressure begins to build in with high temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s. The clear skies and drier air moving look to result in ideal radiational cooling conditions for Monday night. Temperatures look to be some of the coolest we have seen so far this autumn, with lows mainly in the 40s across the region. Highs on Tuesday are forecast to top out in the mid-upper 60s with mainly clear skies continuing. Long Term - Tuesday Night Through Friday The region will be influenced by surface high pressure through the duration of the long term. Surface high pressure will be gradually moving eastward through the period, initially centered over the Great Lakes before moving into the Ohio River Valley for Thursday/Friday. Not really much to say regarding this forecast; dry forecast through the term with surface high pressure holding control over the region. A dry, secondary cold front may come through the region around the Tuesday night time frame, but precipitation is not currently expected with this feature. Temperatures through the term are mainly forecast to be right around to just slightly below average. Marine Conditions should remain below Small Craft Advisory thresholds though tonight, with winds northwesterly 10-15 kts shifting northeasterly by tonight at 5-10 kts. Seas 3-4 ft early, dropping to 2-3 feet tonight. Small Craft Advisory may be necessary by late Sunday with seas building to near 5 ft. Winds easterly 5-10 kts then southerly 10-15 kts. Outlook...
