.WHAT HAS CHANGED...

.KEY MESSAGES... 1. High pressure keeps the area dry through the end of the week.

2. Late this weekend into early next week, a trough will bring cooler weather and a chance for rain.

KEY MESSAGE 1...High pressure keeps the area dry through the end of the week.

High pressure over the Great Lakes will gradually build east and will be over the Appalachians late tonight. Low pressure will develop off the Mid-Atlantic coast and will track out to sea tonight. However, high pressure will keep that low well offshore. Mostly sunny and warm today with highs in the low to mid 80s with the warmest temperatures along the I-95 corridor and the coolest temperatures, generally in the low 70s, along the coasts due to the influence of the colder ocean waters. Afternoon sea breezes will develop, and onshore flow behind the sea breeze will result in locally cooler temperatures.

Mostly clear and mild tonight with lows in the 50s.

High pressure is expected to remain in control across the region keeping this surface low well offshore. As a result, the forecast continues to remain dry through the end of the week. The pleasant weather will continue through most of Saturday with a slight chance for a shower or thunderstorm Saturday afternoon and evening mainly for the Poconos.

A gradual warming trend will also take place this week with temperatures reaching near or into the low 90s for both Friday and Saturday. Shore areas and the southern Poconos are expected to be cooler with highs in the 80s.

KEY MESSAGE 2... Late this weekend into early next week, a trough will bring cooler weather and a chance for rain.

After the period of dry and tranquil conditions, a positively tilted upper-level trough digs in from the northwest Sunday into the beginning of next week. Our surface high pressure system weakens and moves offshore over the weekend. When the trough moves in, a surface low pressure system should develop in response. There are differences between the deterministic guidance as to if this will be a closed surface low or a trough, but regardless, the net effect appears to be a cooling trend, especially going into Monday as a cold front sinks southward.

On the precipitation side of things, showers become possible Saturday night with perhaps a thunderstorm. The bulk of the precipitation is on Sunday with scattered showers developing along with some thunderstorms as our cold front moves south. Depending on the timing and how the atmospheric conditions evolve, the potential for an isolated stronger to severe thunderstorm may be possible. The exact extent of the precipitation and timing is a bit more uncertain given the variations among deterministic guidance on how the surface pattern takes shape. Beyond Sunday, a few showers may linger into Monday with the cold front remaining close to the area.

Marine
High pressure builds into the waters.

North winds 5 to 10 kt in the morning will turn east, then southeast 10 to 15 kt behind afternoon sea breezes. South winds 5 to 10 kt tonight, becoming west around 5 kt late. Seas 2 to 3 feet.

Outlook... Thursday through Friday...Sub-SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conditions probable.

Saturday through Sunday... SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conditions possible Saturday night into Sunday with a southwest wind 15-20 kt with gusts to 25 kt and seas of 4-5 feet.

Rip Currents... Today, north winds 5 to 10 mph in the morning will turn to the east, then southeast late in the day behind sea breezes. Breaking waves will be 2 to 3 feet. There will be a lessening easterly swell with a 9 to 10 second period. As a result, there is a LOW risk for the development of dangerous and life threatening rip currents for the Jersey Shore for Monmouth county, Ocean county, and Atlantic county, and a MODERATE risk for the Jersey Shore for Cape May county and Delaware Beaches.

On Thursday, winds will turn southerly and seas/swells will continue to lessen. Thus, there is a LOW risk of rip currents for the New Jersey Shore and Delaware Beaches.

Ocean water temperatures are in the 50s to low 60s. These chilly water temperatures can quickly cause hypothermia and physical incapacitation to anyone suddenly immersed in the water.
