.WHAT HAS CHANGED... Expired the Marine Dense Fog Advisory

.KEY MESSAGES... 1. Patchy fog across the area could result in some slow downs with this morning's commute. A Dense Fog advisory was issued for areas north and west of Philadelphia.

2. The unsettled pattern continues through Wednesday, though today will feature some improvement.

3. Drier and more seasonable conditions return for the end of the week into the weekend.

KEY MESSAGE 1...Patchy fog across the area could result in some slow downs with this morning's commute. A Dense Fog advisory was issued for areas north and west of Philadelphia.

With recent rainfall and light winds, some patchy fog has developed across the region. Looking at surface observations, satellite, and traffic cameras, it does appear that areas of dense fog have developed across the Lehigh Valley, Poconos, and NW NJ. Ended up issuing a Dense Fog Advisory for these areas through 8am as visibility as low as a quarter of a mile are likely and currently being observed.

Further south and east towards Philadelphia, and points south/east, fog has developed though visibilities are a bit higher. Ended up leaving these zones out of the Dense Fog Advisory given higher visibilities but will continue to monitor how things trend as we get towards the morning commute.

Always have low-beams on when encountering fog and allow some extra time for travel this morning!

KEY MESSAGE 2...The unsettled pattern continues through Wednesday, though today will feature some improvement.

A stationary front is positioned over our area this morning and will slowly sink southward as the day goes on. Today actually will see some marked improvement compared to the holiday weekend. A low chance (25-30%) of showers is in the forecast for southern Delmarva and far South Jersey, but most of the area should stay dry today with even some peeks of sunshine. Temperatures should hover in the upper 70s/low 80s.

The stationary front will set up over Delmarva for tonight and tomorrow, with a wave of low pressure moving along it. This will result in a few more rounds of showers for the Tuesday Night and Wednesday period, mainly for areas south of I-78. A cold front will sweep in on Wednesday from the northwest, which will put an end to the unsettled pattern. Rainfall amounts around a half inch or more are expected south of Philadelphia with anywhere from a few hundredths to a quarter of an inch expected north of the Philadelphia metro. No significant impacts are expected with these rounds of rain. Temperatures Wednesday should be similar to today, hovering around 80.

Once the cold front comes through on Wednesday Night, a transition to more tranquil and nicer weather is expected.

KEY MESSAGE 3...Drier and more seasonable conditions return for the end of the week into the weekend.

Behind the cold front from Wednesday, we trend slightly cooler for Thursday which continues into the weekend. High temperatures for most locations will be in the 70s during this timeframe and lows generally in the 50s. A high pressure system is forecast to gradually build into the region Thursday and remain in place into the weekend. A low pressure system is also forecast to move into the Northeast Friday into Saturday, but model guidance trends continue to show the high pressure system having more of an influence across our area. Due to this high pressure system in control, it looks to be a drier end of the week and continue into the weekend. to the weekend.

Marine
The Marine Dense Fog Advisory was allowed to expire as visibility appears to have improved. Sub- SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conditions expected through Wednesday. Seas of 2 to 4 feet.

Outlook... Wednesday Night through Saturday...The conditions are anticipated to be below Small Craft Advisory criteria.

Rip Currents... For today, winds will shift to the east-southeast and will be light, around 5 to 10 MPH. Wave heigheights continue to lower as well. A medium period swell will continue. Given less energy in the surf zone with lower wave heigheights and very light winds through today, have elected for a LOW risk for the development of rip currents for today.

On Wednesday, winds turn more offshore with breaking waves only around 1 to 2 feet. A medium period 7 second well will persist. With offshore winds and low wave heights, a LOW risk for the development of dangerous rip currents is in place.

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