AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE UPTON NY
425 PM EDT WED JUL 6 2005

...HEAVY RAINS POSSIBLE FRI INTO EARLY SAT...

.NEAR TERM (TONIGHT AND THURSDAY)...
WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY ORIENTED NORTH TO SOUTH ACROSS TRI-STATE AREA
HAS TRIGGERED SCATTERED CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON...PRIMARILY ACROSS
WESTERN CT.

MARGINAL INSTABILITY COUPLED WITH THE FRONT TRACKING SLOWLY EAST
THIS EVENING WILL RESULT IN CONTINUED SCT CONVECTION THROUGH THE
EARLY EVENING HOURS...ENDING FROM WEST TO EAST. ACROSS EASTERN LONG
ISLAND AND SE CT...CHANCES WILL BE A BIT LESS DUE TO THE MARITIME
INFLUENCE. HEAVY DOWNPOURS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN SOME MINOR NUISANCE
FLOODING.

HIGH PRES AND A BACKING FLOW WILL RESULT IN A COOL..DAMP NE FLOW
OVERNIGHT INTO THU. LOW CLOUDS AND PATCHY FOG LIKELY DURING THE
OVERNIGHT. A STABLE AIRMASS IN PLACE ON THU WITH A NE SFC FLOW AND
SHORT WAVE RIDGING ALOFT WILL LIKELY CONFINE LOW RAIN CHANCES TO
DIURNAL/DIFFERENTIAL HEATING ALONG THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS NORTH AND
WEST. THAT IS OF COURSE PROVIDED THERE ARE ENOUGH BREAKS IN THE SKY
COVER.

MAX TEMPS ON THU WILL BE ROUGHLY TEN DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.
&&

.SHORT TERM (THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY)...
FORECAST BECOMES INTERESTING IN THIS TIME RANGE AS THE REMNANTS OF
CINDY WILL LIKELY IMPACT THE TRI-STATE AREA. THE 12Z GFS HAS
MAINTAINED GOOD RUN TO RUN CONTINUITY IN MAINTAINING A DISCRETE
SURFACE LOW AND MID LEVEL CENTER AS THE SYSTEM LIFTS NEWD ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST STATES TONIGHT...SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL APPALACHIANS ON THU
AND INTO THE MID ATLANTIC AND SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND STATES ON FRI.
THE 12Z NAM WAS POORLY INITIALIZED WITH BOTH THE SFC LOW AND 50H
HEIGHTS WHICH MAY EXPLAIN ITS SLOWER MOVEMENT TO THE NE. IN FACT...
THE NAM SHEARS OUT THE MID LEVEL CENTER TO THE NE ON THU...LEAVING
THE LOW LEVEL CENTER BEHIND. THE ECMWF...UKMET...GLOBAL CAN AND GEM
ALL SUPPORT THE EMERGENCE OF A MORE ORGANIZED SYSTEM...BUT CLEARLY
WITH SOME TIMING AND TRACK ISSUES. POTENTIAL FOR 1 TO 3 INCHES OF
RAIN EXISTS FRI INTO SAT. THUS...AN ESF (FLOOD POTENTIAL OUTLOOK)
HAS BEEN ISSUED TO ACCOUNT FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING
RAINS...YET ENOUGH UNCERTAINTY TO HOLD OFF ON A FLOOD WATCH.
&&

.LONG TERM (SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...
NO SIG CHANGES PLANNED. REMNANTS OF CINDY MAY STILL BE AFFECTING THE
LOCAL AREA SAT...THEN NOTHING OF CONSEQUENCE THROUGH THE REMAINDER
OF THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. UPPER LOW OVER THE
NORTHEAST TACKS OFFSHORE SUN EVEN WITH A HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGE OVER
THE MS VALLEY TO BUILD EASTWARD. THIS WILL RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT
WARMUP EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH LOW RAIN CHANCES AT BEST.
&&

.HYDROLOGY...
AFTER SOME EARLY EVENING HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND MINOR NUISANCE
FLOODING...THE FOCUS OF ATTENTION SHIFTS TO A POTENTIAL HEAVY
RAINFALL EVENT FRI INTO SAT. AT THIS TIME...HEAVIEST QPF IS
ORIENTED ACROSS NYC AND LONG ISLAND WITH 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAINFALL.
HOWEVER...THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE
STORM TRACK.
&&

.AVIATION...
SHRA AND TSRA HAVE BEGUN TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA AND WILL AFFECT
TERMINALS THROUGH ABOUT 02Z. HEAVY RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE AT TIMES...
REDUCING VSBY TO IFR. OTHERWISE...MVFR CIGS/VSBYS WILL PREVAIL
ACROSS THE AREA. AFTER SHRA/TSRA...A LIGHT NE FLOW WILL BE IN PLACE
ALONG WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. IFR CIGS AND MVFR-IFR
VSBYS WILL PREVAIL TONIGHT...WITH SLIGHT IMPROVEMENTS TO MVFR AFTER
DAYBREAK THU.
&&

.MARINE...
WINDS AND SEAS WILL BE BELOW SMALL CRAFT TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY. THEN
AS THE REMNANTS OF CINDY APPROACH THURSDAY NIGHT WITH INCREASING
WINDS AND SEAS. WIND GUSTS WILL LIKELY BE AROUND SMALL CRAFT BY
FRIDAY WITH SEAS BUILDING TO SMALL CRAFT. SOME EASTERLY SWELLS
POSSIBLY THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY WITH THE STORM...BUT WILL NOT
MENTION AT THIS TIME. AFTER LOW DEPARTS WINDS AND SEAS SUBSIDE WITH
NO PROBLEMS INTO MONDAY.
