| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 919am EDT Thu April 2 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... No significant changes. .KEY MESSAGES... 1. The cold front is now a stationary boundary south of the region today before lifting north as a warm front tonight into Friday morning. This will allow for a warm up Friday. 2. A warm front lifts north of the region Saturday before a cold front crosses the region Sunday, bringing a few rounds of showers and thunderstorms before ushering in more seasonable temperatures. KEY MESSAGE 1...The cold front is now a stationary boundary south of the region today before lifting north as a warm front tonight into Friday morning. This will allow for a warm up Friday. The cold front is now a stationary front south of the area for the rest of today. Temperatures will be noticeably cooler today compared to the previous days. Highs today reach the mid 40s to mid 50s for most. Clouds remain pretty stubborn today along with the potential for a few isolated showers or pockets of drizzle. Overnight, the front starts to make progress northward as a warm front. This will allow temperatures to gradually start to increase through the night, especially for our Delmarva zones. Lows look to happen early overnight, particularly for southern zones in our forecast area. Lows tonight are generally in the upper 30s to mid 40s. As the front moves north, a few isolated showers are possible. There is also the potential for patchy fog overnight with moisture trapped below an inversion and winds lessening. During the morning hours Friday, the warm front lifts fully through the area. Temperatures then rebound with highs in the mid 60s to mid 70s. KEY MESSAGE 2...A warm front lifts north of the region Saturday before a cold front crosses the region Sunday, bringing a few rounds of showers and thunderstorms before ushering in more seasonable temperatures. A low pressure system will lift across the Great Lakes on Saturday, lifting a warm front through the region before a cold front moves through on Sunday, bringing a few rounds of showers and perhaps some thunderstorms. Global guidance currently not showing too strong of a signal for severe weather potential with this system Saturday and Sunday, but this can be rather typical given the coarse resolution of the global guidance this far out. As a result, any severe potential will have to be monitored and reassessed over the coming days as regional and hi res guidance gets into range of this system. One notable factor global guidance is displaying more confidently is PWAT (Precipitable Water) values with this system reaching close to the 1.3 to 1.5 inch range come Sunday, which would be near the climatological maximum for this time of the year. Certainly no guarantee that we will see concerning levels of rainfall, but we will also need to keep an eye on how strong the dynamic involved with this frontal boundary may evolve over the next several forecast runs. At the moment, model consensus has a broad area of about 0.50 inches of Quantitative Precipitation Forecast from this system. The warm weather over the weekend with upper 70s and low 80s on Saturday with mid 60s to low 70s on Sunday will break behind the front as it ushers in a more seasonable airmass. Temperatures for the first half of next week will be back near or slightly below climo for this time of year, which translates to afternoon highs largely in the 50s across the region. Marine A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for the northern and central Atlantic coastal waters through midnight tonight due to a northeast wind of 15-20 knots and gusts 25-30 knots. Seas also build to 4-6 feet. For the marine zones outside of the Small Craft Advisory, winds are 10-15 knots with gusts to 20 knots and seas of 3- 4 feet. Winds and seas lessen overnight tonight. Another period of Small Craft Advisory conditions then becomes likely for Friday afternoon with seas building to 5-6 feet and winds out of the south-southwest gusting to near 25 knots. Outlook... Friday through Friday night...A period of SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conditions possible Friday afternoon and evening as winds ramp up and seas build to around 5 feet. Saturday through Saturday night...Sub-SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conditions Saturday, then SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conditions likely Saturday night Sunday through Sunday night...SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conditions likely with a brief period of gale force winds possible Sunday afternoon. Winds diminish to sub-SCA (Small Craft Advisory) levels Sunday night, but seas remain elevated. Visibility restrictions in showers expected. Monday...Sub-SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conditions likely.
