| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 304am EST Sat Dec 27 2025 Synopsis High pressure passes through our region today through Sunday afternoon. A strong low pressure will move into the Great Lakes region on Monday, dragging a strong cold front through our region. The next low pressure system could approach our region Thursday into Friday. Near Term - Through Tonight Largely measurable precipitation from the winter storm has come to an end however there as still some pockets of patchy drizzle/freezing drizzle that remain so we're planning to carry the Winter Weather Advisory through around day break. Travel will remain the impact as any untreated roads/sidewalks/driveways will likely be quite icy from the Philly metro northwards across the region. Temps are slowly rising south and east of the Delaware river to above freezing whilst to the north and west of I95 temps are still generally in the mid to upper 20s. Otherwise today will setup to generally be fairly benign when it comes to sensible weather. Lowered ceilings and cloud cover will lift though the day and trends in the hires guidance now suggest that the tiny amount of instability that was potentially going to be developing across the northern areas is now not going to exist. Thus the light flurries/isolated snow showers that guidance was showing a few nigheights ago is unlikely for today. Expect seasonable cold temps across the region with some gusty winds along the land/sea interface. Short Term - Sunday Through Monday Night Flow turns more southerly as a warm front approaches during the day Sunday. This will allow almost all of the region to warm above freezing (the only potential exception is the ridge lines in the southern Poconos). Rain is expected to accompany the warm front late Sunday afternoon into Sunday night. As it lifts through Sunday night, lingering cold air is likely to result in freezing rain in the southern Poconos and far Northwest NJ. However, temperatures should continue to increase overnight Sunday night, and by daybreak Monday, all lingering precipitation should be all rain. For Monday, the main story is the cold front blowing through. Southerly winds ahead of it should push temps up into the 50s and even lower 60s. At this point it appears as if the cold front will sweep through our region from west to east from mid day through the afternoon. With the cold front coming through, we'll have some more showers, maybe even a rumble of thunder, but the main story will be the wind, which will be gusty from the south ahead of the front then switching northwest and getting very strong behind it. Wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph are possible. Wind advisories may be needed for portions of our region if our confidence increases in the wind threat. Long Term - Tuesday Through Friday In the wake of the cold front on Monday, some guidance is pointing to a potential for snow squalls on Tuesday, primarily for the southern Poconos and Northwest NJ. At this point though, there remains quite a bit of uncertainty if the area of higher RH in the lower levels will line up with the area of low level instability. For now, have stayed close to a blend of guidance, which keeps our region mostly dry. Beyond that, the other main story in the long term is a fast moving low pressure system and associated cold front which could move through our region in the Thursday/Friday time period. This system will likely have very limited moisture with it, but if there is any precipitation associated with it, the temperature profiles and pattern look very favorable for a quick window of light snow. Marine SCA (Small Craft Advisory) will be going into effect as winds increase of of the northeast 15-20 with gusts up to 25kts. Seas will be building to 4-6 feet with the occasional 7 foot wave depending on the wave trains colliding for the Atlantic Ocean Waters. Winds on the DE bay will generally be 10-20 and will make for choppy conditions but just under SCA. Outlook... Sunday...winds and seas should stay below SCA (Small Craft Advisory) criteria. Sunday night into Monday morning...Southerly winds increase above 25 kt and seas subsequently increase. Monday afternoon through Tuesday...Expect an abrupt shift to westerly winds and winds to increase above gale force. This wind shift should come with a cold front on Monday afternoon, but the gale force winds are likely to continue through much of the day time on Tuesday. Tuesday night through Wednesday...Winds should diminish, but SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conditions are still likely through this period.
