.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Patchy dense fog through this morning is followed
by a warm front and cold front late today into tonight.

Canadian high pressure has continued to usher in cooler air from the
northeast which has acted like a backdoor cold front for the area.
Our high pressure system starts to move offshore through the day
today which will open up the opportunity for a warm front and
cold front to move through.

We see warm air advection in the low-levels today. This will be
followed by the surface temperatures later today and into tonight as
a warm front moves through. This warm air advection in the low-
levels has a steep low-level inversion which has moisture
trapped beneath it. This moisture along with a saturated ground
and relatively light winds have resulted in plenty of stratus
but also dense fog in spots. A Dense Fog Advisory remains in
effect for Monroe county until 10 AM this morning. Additional
Dense Fog Advisories may be needed into this morning depending
on how widespread the dense fog becomes. The reduced visibility
should improve some through the day today but the clouds stick
with us.

Today will be another cooler day with highs for most in the mid 40s
to low 50s. Parts of Delmarva see highs in the upper 50s to low 60s
as the warm air advection moves south to north. Temperatures will
actually warm overnight as we continue to see that warm air filter
in with a more southwest wind, so our low temperatures happen early.

This increase in temperatures overnight is helped by the warm front
moving northward through the area. A cold front follows this warm
front tonight into tomorrow morning. Ahead of this cold front is a
line of showers and potentially embedded thunderstorms that will
weaken as they pass through our area from west to east late this
evening into tomorrow morning.

KEY MESSAGE 2...Warmer air gradually overspreads the region later
this weekend into early next week, with a couple chances for showers
and fog.

We become more embedded within the warm sector by early next
week with surface high pressure anchored in the western Atlantic
and a south to southwest flow. This should result in a much
warmer air mass surging into the region. Highs for Sunday and
Monday are forecast to be in the 60s for much of the area, then
into the low to some mid 70s for Tuesday and Wednesday for many
areas. The flow may be light enough which would support sea
breeze circulations to occur daily, resulting in significant
cooling along the coast where many coastal areas will be stuck
in the 50s.

The much milder airmass and higher dew points noted above adjacent
to the cold ocean over the weekend and early next week will create
opportunities for fog, perhaps dense fog. These conditions will be
more enhanced closer to the coast and around Delaware Bay.

Shower and thunderstorm chances return once again late in the day on
Wednesday into Wednesday night and perhaps lingering into Thursday.
Guidance varies on timing, but both deterministic and ensemble
guidance show signals of a rather strong cold front that will track
through the area during this time period. Following the frontal
passage, the warmth will cease and we`ll welcome the return of more
seasonable weather towards the end of next week. Depending on how
quickly everything evolves and progresses, some shower chances may
linger into late week, but overall should come to an end in wake of
frontal passage.

.AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.

Tonight...IFR/LIFR continues due to low cigs through the night.
Fog has been developing at KABE/KRDG and is expected to continue
to develop at the other terminals after 09Z. This will continue
to reduce visibility through 12Z. An east to southeast wind at
around 5 knots becoming light and variable at times. High
confidence in IFR/LIFR from low ceilings but low confidence on
the extent of the fog development.

Saturday...IFR/LIFR conditions due to low clouds and fog.
Visibility restrictions improve after 16-18Z. Low ceilings
persist through the day at all terminals. Winds become more
southerly through the morning. High confidence in prevailing
IFR/LIFR due to ceilings but low confidence on exact timing of
visibility improvements.

Saturday night...IFR/LIFR initially with low ceilings. Rain
showers move in from west to east between 00-02Z for the Lehigh
Valley terminals and I-95 terminals leading to visibility
restrictions at times. Due to the line of showers weakening,
mention of -SHRA was not included for KMIV/KACY. LLWS also
looks to develop around 00Z out of the southwest at around 45
knots at all terminals. After 09Z, the LLWS looks to end and
ceiling/visibility improvements occur heading towards 12Z.
Moderate confidence.

Outlook...

Sunday...Sub-VFR conditions likely with a chance of showers and
thunderstorms. Conditions may improve to VFR by Sunday
afternoon.

Sunday night through Wednesday...VFR expected. Localized sub-VFR
conditions possible at times with fog. A chance for showers Tuesday
night into Wednesday, otherwise, no significant weather.

&&

.MARINE...
Marine conditions are expected to stay below SCA criteria
through today. Marine dense fog has developed leading to a
Marine Dense Fog Advisory being issued through 10 AM this
morning.

A Small Craft Advisory goes into effect this evening through
tonight for all the Atlantic coastal waters for wind gusts up
to 25 knots and seas increasing to 5-7 feet.

Outlook...

Sunday...A Small Craft Advisory is in effect for all Atlantic
Coastal waters due to winds up to 25 kt and seas of 5-7 feet. A
chance for rain showers.

Sunday night through Tuesday night...No marine headlines expected.
Winds generally less than 15 kt and seas around 2-4 feet.

Wednesday...Small Craft Advisory conditions likely. Wind gusts up to
25 kt and seas building up to 6 feet. Showers possible.
