.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will shift offshore tonight into Friday as a warm
front lifts north of the area. A southerly or return flow will
then set up across the east coast, before a cold front tracks
through the area Saturday night and Sunday. This cold front will
stall to our south on Sunday night and quickly move back
northward, as a warm front, on Monday. A cold front will follow
on Monday night. High pressure will then return on Tuesday and
Wednesday, before weakening on Thursday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
High pressure is presently centered just to our south with
upper level trough heading away from the region. This
combination has provide a breezy west to northwest wind, very
low humidity and plenty of sunshine. All-in-all, not a bad mid-
April day, though a little on the cool side.

Tonight, winds should relax as they shift to a more southerly
direction while high pressure shifts east off the coast to our
south. Skies stay clear in the evening, but high clouds increase
overnight. This could potentially allow for some radiational
cooling to bring temps close to freezing where the growing
season is considered active. A Frost Advisory was issued for the
southern half of New Jersey, where surface pressure gradient and
clear skies lasting a bit later into the night should allow for
greater threat of frost development. Farther west into Delmarva
and southeast Pennsylvania, the pressure gradient and
increasing clouds should result in a lower risk of frost, so no
advisory was posted for those areas. Latest low temperature
forecast remain below guidance consensus. Lows mainly in the mid
to upper 30s across the area, and closer to 40 degrees for the
urban and coastal areas, as well as Delmarva.

Friday a warm front approaches from the southwest as the high
shifts further east and southwesterly flow increases. Winds will
be a bit stronger around 15-25 mph, gusting up to 35 mph, but
temps will also rise nearly 10 more degrees, with many areas
approaching or passing 70 degrees (50s to low 60s for the
immediate coastline).

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Warm front passes Friday evening and the overnight period
should remain quite mild with southwesterly flow. A stray shower
can`t be ruled out as it passes especially across the north,
but overall expect it to stay dry. Lows mostly in the 50s.

Saturday will see filtered sun as a cold front approaches from
the northwest. However, most forcing will bypass our region to
the north, with the frontal passage Saturday night likely nearly
if not totally dry. The exception is the northwestern areas,
Lehigh Valley, NW NJ and especially the Poconos, where scattered
showers and even an isolated thunderstorm is expected. Highs
Saturday should reach the low 80s across much of the region,
notably cooler in the Poconos and along the coast, while lows
drop back to the 50s for the most part Saturday night.

Sunday high pressure tries building in from the northwest,
though the front won`t get too far south of us. This means that
we`re likely no better than partly sunny, with temps 10-15
degrees cooler than Saturday, but it still looks dry.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
The period begins with a surface warm front to our south and a
zonal mid-level flow. Sunday night looks like it will be the
coldest night of this period in the post-frontal environment.
Lows will mainly be in the 40s, but expect 30s well north and
west and some 50s across our Delmarva zones.

On Monday, low pressure will move into the Great Lakes. A cold
front will be approaching the region from the west. At the same
time, a warm front will be moving northward through the Mid-
Atlantic. Expect some rain showers Monday night into Tuesday.
Maybe they`ll sneak into the Southern Poconos late Monday
afternoon. An isolated thunderstorm cannot be ruled out. Highs
on Monday will warm into the 50s and 60s across the forecast
area, coolest across the northwest and near the ocean where an
onshore flow will be present. Overnight lows on Monday night
will range from the mid 40s to mid 50s. Tuesday`s temperatures
will moderate into the 60s and 70s as surface winds veer south
and southwest.

At this time, high pressure looks like it will be overhead on
Wednesday. As a result, expect afternoon highs to climb into the
60s and 70s everywhere.

The high will break down on Thursday allowing a cold front to
approach from the west. But once again, highs will be in the 60s
and 70s.
