Title: NJ Fishing & Boating Weather Outlook: Week Edition July 16-20, 2012
Post by: Pfishingruven on July 15, 2012, 06:34:22 PM: Here we come to another week already. The summer is flying by. This week is going to start off as a scorcher, with hot and humid temperatures as the Bermuda High brings us Bermuda like temperatures. By Wednesday with the approaching cold front, the area will see widespread rain and/or strong (even severe) thunderstorms most of the day into the evening. Unfortunately, even temperatures along the immediate coast and on the water, may not see much relief through Wednesday, except for a couple of degrees and maybe occasionally a lucky sea breeze. However, by Thursday and even through the weekend, there will be some relief from the north as Canadian High Pressure builds in bringing cooler to seasonal temperatures and lower humidity. Water conditions are rated good for all inshore waters all week, while midshore to offshore has some cautious conditions Wednesday Afternoon and all day Thursday.

The Bermuda High Pressure is anchored off the Mid Atlantic Coast and will be the dominant weather pattern through the middle of this week. A weak cold front will dissipate as it crosses the area late Monday. A stronger cold front will cross the region from the north late Wednesday Afternoon and Wednesday Night, exiting to the south of the area Thursday morning. By the end of the week, Canadian High Pressure will move into New England and bring cooler and less humid conditions into the end of the week and into the weekend.

Title: Re: SPC Issues Slight Risk for Severe Weather Wednesday
Post by: Pfishingruven on July 17, 2012, 03:10:50 PM: The Storm Prediction Center has issued a Slight Risk of Severe Weather for almost the entire state of NJ as well as an area from New England out to Indiana and south to Maryland (see map) for Wednesday. Almost all of NJ, except extreme southern Cape May County, has been placed in a 15% Risk Area, while parts of central and northern NJ have been given a 30% Risk Area. The main threat tomorrow will be from multicellular thunderstorms (squall lines of storms) with high gusty winds and occasional hail. However, bows (high straight line winds/derechos) and supercell storms are possible.

Keep an ear out to the weather tomorrow for further updates.

Update to Friday Water Conditions looks like inshore and midshore to offshore will be cautious and even hazardous for some areas. Small Craft Advisories will likely be posted with seas 6-8 feet at 7 seconds with winds 15-20 knots with gust over 25 knots at times. This will continue into most of Saturday before the winds die down and seas recover!

Title: Re: NEW EVENT Threat of Severe Weather TONIGHT Southern NJ
Post by: Pfishingruven on July 19, 2012, 07:53:02 PM: The SPC has issued a Mesoscale Discussion for Southern NJ. Storms in central/southern PA may be moving into the area in the next few hours. Southern parts of NJ may experience isolated strong and severe thunderstorms. Currently the storms in PA have formed into a squall line and have some characteristics of a bow echo(strong straight line winds.

**Looks like a bow(as in bow and arrow) on radar from the winds pushing the storms from the west .

If you live in this area, please keep an ear to the weather!

Title: Re: Friday Weather Update
Post by: Pfishingruven on July 20, 2012, 09:56:22 AM: Showers and scattered/isolated thunderstorms will continue throughout the day into tonight, clearing out by early Saturday morning. Rain can be heavy at times and thunderstorms could be strong to even severe mainly in Central & Southern NJ. Temperatures will mainly be in the 70's today with some areas, mostly in the south seeing 80's.

The SPC has moved the Risk for Severe Weather Farther south, leaving most of Central & Southern NJ with only a 5% risk of severe weather with the greatest threat being damaging winds. Extreme Southern NJ/Cape May County is still in a Slight Risk with a 15% chance of severe weather, including damaging winds and 5% risk of hail.

You are reallllly cool for posting all this. I look forward to seeing what you are going to put up. I am learning how to read the charts that you put up too. I usually hit NOAA and the local weather chnl, but I find them to be wrong more than not. >:( >:( Dennis told me that the winds are going to be pretty bad this weekend. He sent me a really neat chart too. What are your thoughs?? Appreacite it. slt slt

Thanks Ms. Fish!

All of the weather agencies get their data from the same places. No one weather agency has better data than another. The data comes from models and real time monitoring stations and weather balloons. The models are just mathematical algorithms used to forecast the weather. The US has a model, Europe has a model, the UK has a model, Canada has a model and Japan...among many others. The models are only as good as the data going into them. The models are not always right, especially for 5+ days out. The shorter range, rapid output models are the most accurate, however they only go out 12-18 hours at a time and every hour they update the information changes. The agencies then take this data and forecast and interpret how they like. NOAA/The National Weather Service is not very aggressive and they are always cautious and sit on the fence. The Weather Channel gives very broad, general forecasts. It is very difficult to forecast for one area, as small as a town. Marine weather is even harder to forecast. You have many factors trying to predict how high waves will get or how big the swell will be.

The best way to get an accurate forecasts is to learn to read the data and interpret it yourself, including using information you know about the areas. This isn't the easiest, but the more and more you use it and try, the better you will get and the easier it will be. You always have backups to look at too...BuoyWeather, NWS, Accuweather, etc!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Today and tomorrow are not good for water conditions and winds, averaging 15-20 knots with 25+ knot gusts. Seas are 4-8 feet inshore and offshore 4-8 building to 5-9 feet tonight. Tomorrow looks a little less windy, averaging 10-15 knots with 20+ knot gusts and seas 4-6 feet inshore. Seas and winds will start to lay down Saturday evening into the night and should make Sunday better, but it won't be fully recovered, with winds 5-10 knots on average and seas 2-3 feet inshore!
