AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
351 AM EDT Wed Apr 2 2025

Weather Synopsis:
Cool and dry high pressure will remain in control through today. A warm front will lift north across the area tonight as a strong low tracks through Quebec on Thursday. The front will return on Friday as a cold front, slowly dropping south of the area by Friday night. Several waves of low pressure will ride along this boundary causing it to fluctuate north and south through the weekend yielding unsettled weather conditions. Cool and dry high pressure will return by early next week.

Near Term:
THROUGH TONIGHT - Cooler and dry conditions will continue through today. Increasing clouds through the day, along with a strengthening southeasterly breeze. A few showers possible this evening and tonight, but largely dry for most areas along with more mild temperatures.

Upper ridging will return today into tonight. At the surface, cold and dry Canadian high pressure will depart as the day progresses. A warm front will return north through the area overnight.

The modified Canadian airmass from the departing high pressure will be advecting in off the cold ocean today with a southeast breeze increasing to 10-15 mph by this afternoon, with gusts up to 25 mph. This pattern won`t bring any surface "warm" advection to our area during the day despite upper level warm advection beginning, so temperatures will actually end up being near to a few degrees cooler than Tuesday in most areas. Increasing clouds throughout the day won`t help either. Low level warm advection won`t really begin until late afternoon or evening, when the warm front will finally start lifting north through the area as winds shift more southerly overnight.

Highs today are mainly in the upper 40s to mid 50s. Closer to 60 degrees for interior Delmarva. Temperatures won`t fall much this evening given the considerable cloudiness and winds (evening lows mainly in the 40s to near 50 degrees), and will start rising into the 50s after midnight in most areas.

A few showers and isolated thunderstorms possible this evening, and again after midnight. The potential evening activity will be associated with the initial warm advection ramping up, but this will be isolated to scattered in nature at most and insignificant with regards to any measurable rainfall. Late tonight and toward dawn Thursday, it appears chances are increasing for remnant upstream convection from the southern Great Lakes and Ohio Valley will reach our region. Obviously a lot of uncertainty with this, as it will be dependent on convective evolution upstream. Long story short, PoPs were increased late in the night and early Thursday morning. No hazards are anticipated with this activity, mainly just rumbles of thunder and brief heavy downpours possible.

Short Term:
THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT - Warm front will be slowly lifting northward across the region at the start of Thursday, so while the day likely starts off wet and murky, expect some rapid afternoon improvements, perhaps not at all unlike what we saw Monday, with temps soaring back into the 70s with some spots possibly touching 80. This will set the stage for another round of showers and thunderstorms late in the day into the evening as a wave passes to the north and drags a cold front back into the region, but right forcing and instability don`t look especially great so only a marginal risk is outlooked for the region. Lows Thursday night should range from the 40s Poconos to the 60s Delmarva. The front slips back to the south on Friday, with cooling temps and showers gradually ending. Highs Friday will be mostly in the 60s as cooler air drains back south into the region. We`ll start out mainly dry Friday evening as high pressure from the north briefly pushes in, but by late Friday night. Lows will range from the 40s north to 50s south.

Long Term:
SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY - Wave of low pressure passes mostly to the north Saturday, but the stalled front to the south will be hard to budge, so expecting highs in the 50s north, 60s south with some rain and drizzle at times, especially in the morning. Warm front should make better progress Saturday night as another, stronger low approaches from the west, with lows 40s north ranging to 60s south. Sunday looks like another day like Monday/Thursday with warm air surging northward ahead of the aforementioned next system. Another severe weather opportunity, though right now dynamics and instability again don`t look too great, so not highlighting it much yet. Should manage the 70s for most of the region again. Bottom then drops out behind that system as that cold front brings a surge of cooler air, followed by a secondary surge of arctic air for Tuesday, resulting highs struggling to reach 60 Monday and struggling to reach 50 on Tuesday, with widespread freezing conditions possible by Tuesday night. Any chance of precip looks to end with the first front pushing southeast of the area by midday Monday.
