Area forecast discussion, Jul 18, 6:58 PM EDT, 1 hour 2 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE UPTON NY 658 PM EDT TUE JUL 18 2006 .NEAR TERM (TONIGHT)... REAL QUICK HERE...ZONES HAVE BEEN UPDATED TO ACCOUNT FOR THE ISSUANCE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 614...WHICH INCLUDES MOST OF THE TRI-STATE AREA. ORANGE AND PUTNAM COUNTIES REMAIN UNDER WATCH 612 TIL 8 PM. THE HEAT ADVISORY WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE AT 7 PM. AS FAR AS SEVERE POTENTIAL GOES...STRONG (30-40KT) UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW AT 700-600MB...WITH GOOD SPEED SHEAR BENEATH THAT...SUPPORTS POTENTIAL FOR SQUALL LINES/BOW ECHOES LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. STRONGEST STORMS SHOULD BE THIS EVENING WITH AREA (ESPECIALLY N/W OF NYC) UNDER RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION TO 100KT 300MB JET...ALSO HAVE THETA-E RIDGE AXIS CROSSING THIS EVENING (AREA JUST TO RIGHT OF AXIS HAS BEST LOW LEVEL THERMO IN SUPPORT OF CONVECTION). PRECIPITABLE WATERS ON 18Z SOUNDINGS AROUND 1.5 INCHES ACROSS NE US. OKX SOUNDING HAD 3326 J/KG OF CAPE AT 18Z...VERY IMPRESSIVE FOR THESE PARTS. COLD FRONT SLIDES THROUGH THE TRI-STATE AREA THIS EVENING...USHERING IN SLIGHTLY LOWER DEWPOINTS (M-U60S) AND LOWS ABOUT 10 DEGREES COOLER THAN LAST NIGHT AS WELL. && .SHORT TERM (WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)... NEITHER NAM NOR GFS SEEMS TO BE EXACTLY ON TOP OF CURRENT OVERALL SITUATION...PREFER CANADIAN WHICH IS COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE TWO (THOUGH A BIT CLOSER TO THE NAM THAN GFS). TOMORROW SHOULD BE A REFRESHING DAY (UNLESS YOU ENJOY HEAT AND HUMIDITY) WITH HIGHS GENERALLY L-M80S (COOLER ALONG COAST) DEWPOINTS IN THE M60S...PRODUCING HEAT INDICES IN THE M-U 80S (VICE THE 95-104 OF TODAY). SHOULD BE DRY WITH BUILDING HEIGHTS AND AN EASTERLY (STABLE MARINE) FLOW SETTING UP IN THE LOW LEVELS BY AFTERNOON. LOW-MID LEVEL RIDGE SHOULD KEEP THINGS DRY WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS WELL...AND ALLOW LOWS TO FALL TO THE M-U60S (A70 NYC HEAT ISLAND). BOTH GFS AND NAM SOUNDINGS IN BUFKIT SHOW SOME INSTABILITY (AROUND 500J/KG CAPE) THU AFTERNOON...SO HAVE SLIGHT CHANCE SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS THEN. CONTINUES WEAK ONSHORE FLOW THOUGH WILL ACTUALLY PRODUCE HIGHS THURSDAY A TAD COOLER THAN TOMORROW (A80-M80S). CONTINUE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS THU EVENING THEN INCREASE SLIGHTLY TO RAISE TO LOW CHANCE POPS ACROSS NW ZONES TO REFLECT CANADIAN INDICATING TAIL OF 5H VORT LOBE PASSING LATE THU NIGHT. AIR MASS MODIFICATION WILL PRODUCE LOWS A TAD WARMER THAN WED NIGHT (U60S- L70S). NOTE: SINCE FAVORED CMC DID NOT BUY INTO FASTER GFS TIMING OF FRONT AS TD #2 (NOT REFLECTED IN 12Z GFS) WILL ACT TO HANG UP FRONT (AS DONE IN CMC/NAM/UKMET - THOUGH PROBABLY NOT AS MUCH AS INDICATED IN NAM). RESULT IS DO NOT UP POPS UP TO CHANCE THROUGH OUT UNTIL FRIDAY AFTERNOON WHEN CMC BRINGS FRONT THROUGH...HIGHS WITH AFTERNOON FRONTAL PASSAGE M-U80S (COULD SEE 90 ACROSS NE NJ HOT SPOTS AND OF COURSE A TAD COOLER ALONG THE COAST). && .LONG TERM (FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)... BLEND OF 6Z GFS/0Z ECMWF USED FOR EXTENDED (THIS GENERALLY SUPPORTED BY 12Z GFS). SOLUTION HAS FRONT STALLING OUT TO S OF CWA WITH OCCASIONAL WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE RIDING UP ALONG IT...SO GENERALLY RUN SLIGHT CHANCE POPS...THOUGH DO GO WITH CHC POPS LATE SAT NIGHT AND SUNDAY TO REFLECT SURFACE WAVE SUGGESTED BY GFS/ECMWF THEN). TEMPERATURES GENERALLY ARE CLOSE TO BLEND OF MEX/MEX ENSEMBLE MEAN NUMBERS...WITH LOWS GENERALLY 65-70 AND HIGHS 80-85 (A BIT COOLER WITH PRECIPITATION ON SUNDAY). && .AVIATION... WITH THE EXCEPTION OF KGON...VFR CEILINGS AND VSBYS EXPECTED OUTSIDE OF ANY CONVECTION. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING ACROSS NORTHEAST NEW JERSEY AND THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY...AND COVERS KBDR AS WELL. AS SUCH...HAVE INCLUDED A CB ATTACHMENT WITH G35KT IN A TEMPO GROUP FOR TERMINALS IN THESE AREAS. KGON HAS HAD MVFR VSBYS IN HZ MUCH OF THE DAY AND WILL PROBABLY REMAIN THAT WAY UNTIL FROPA EARLY THIS EVENING. WINDS OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION WILL REMAIN LIGHT AND SHIFT N/NE THIS EVENING. && .MARINE... FAIRLY TRANQUIL CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL OVER THE THE FORECAST WATERS DURING THE FORECAST PERIOD. A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE WATERS LATE THIS EVENING.
