AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE UPTON NY
325 AM EST FRI FEB 24 2006

.NEAR TERM (TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT)...
A LOW PRESSURE CENTER OVER SOUTHEASTERN CANADA IS SWINGING A COLD
FRONT THROUGH THE TRI-STATE REGION. IN ITS WAKE A HIGH PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO BUILD IN FROM THE WEST. THE PRESSURE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE DEPARTING LOW AND THE INCOMING HIGH WILL CREATE SOME
VERY BRISK WINDS TODAY. CURRENTLY LOOKING A SUSTAINED WINDS AROUND
30 TO 35 MPH WITH GUSTS 45 TO 50 MPH WHICH MEANS WE WILL BE POSTING
A WIND ADVISORY FOR TODAY.

TONIGHT...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN TONIGHT WITH NEARLY CLEAR SKIES
AND DIMINISHING WINDS. WINDS FALL BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA BY 23Z SO
HEADLINE WILL BE LIMITED TO TODAY.

TEMPERATURES...MODEL OUTPUT FAIRLY CLOSE SO BLEND OF MET/FWC AND MAV
APPEAR THE WAY TO GO.
&&

.SHORT TERM (SATURDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)...
A STRONG MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE AND ASSOCIATED ALBERTA CLIPPER RACE
EAST SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE TRI-STATE AREA SATURDAY. STRONG THERMAL
FORCING AND A LACK OF DEEP MOISTURE WILL RESULT IN A QUICK SHOT OF
LIGHT SNOW...MAINLY FROM LATE SAT MORNING INTO SAT
AFTERNOON...ALTHOUGH THE BEST CHANCE FOR THIS STILL APPEARS TO BE
NORTH OF THE CWA. SO STILL ONLY LOOKING AT A MINIMAL CHANCE FOR
SATURDAY. STRONG COLD ADVECTION SETS UP SATURDAY NIGHT WITH WINDS
APPROACHING OR JUST INTO WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA AGAIN.

TEMPERATURES...WILL CONTINUE A BLEND APPROACH SATURDAY...THEN FAVOR
THE COLDER SOLUTION OF THE MAV/MET FOR SATURDAY NIGHT.
&&

.LONG TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...
NO CHANGES NEED TO BE MADE WITH THE EXTENDED AT THIS TIME AS WE PLAN
ON KEEPING A MAINLY DRY BUT COLD FORECAST THROUGH THIS PERIOD. POLAR
VORTEX RETROGRADING FROM THE CANADIAN MARITIMES TO JUST SOUTHEAST OF
HUDSON BAY THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES BELOW
AVERAGE WITH A DEEP NORTHWESTERLY FLOW. WIND CHILL CONTINUE IN THE
PICTURE SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS GUSTY FLOW CONTINUE.
&&

.AVIATION...
ARCTIC FRONT JUST W OF NYC WILL CROSS AREA TERMINALS FROM ABOUT 08Z
TO 11Z. VFR CIGS EXPECTED THROUGHOUT...BUT WITH L/V WINDS AND HIGH
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES OUTSIDE OF NYC...SOME TERMINALS COULD SEE MVFR
TO LOCALIZED IFR VSBYS IN BR. SCT -SHSN POSSIBLE OVER EASTERN
TERMINALS THROUGH ABOUT 09Z...BUT CIGS/VSBYS NOT EXPECTED TO BE
LOWERED.

AFTER PASSAGE OF ARCTIC FRONT...STRONG CAA AND A TIGHT PRESSURE
GRADIENT WILL ALLOW SUSTAINED WINDS TO INCREASE TO 20-30G40-45KTS
FOR MUCH OF THE DAY...DIMINISHING TO 15-20G25-30 KTS AFTER ABOUT
00Z. VFR CIGS/VSBYS WILL BE EXPECTED FROM ABOUT 10Z THROUGH THE END
OF THE TAF PERIOD.
&&

.MARINE...
WINDS WILL BE INCREASING RAPIDLY THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS AS COLD
AIR ADVECTION BEGINS AFTER THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT. WILL
PROBABLY SEE A FEW HOURS OF SCA WINDS BETWEEN NOW AND ABOUT
14Z...BUT NW WINDS WILL RAPIDLY INCREASE TO GALE FORCE...RANGING
FROM 30-35G45KT AND WILL REMAIN JUST BELOW STORM FORCE WINDS. SEAS
WILL BE BUILDING TO 7-10 FT ON OCEAN AND 5-7 FT ON THE SOUND. WINDS
RAPIDLY DIMINISH TONIGHT AS GRADIENT WEAKENS AND HIGH PRES BUILDS
INTO THE EASTERN SEABOARD. WILL PROBABLY NEED SCA THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT AFTER GALES END THIS EVENING...BUT AS PER LOCAL POLICY...
WILL NOT POST STEP-DOWN ADVISORIES FOR THE SECOND FCST PERIOD AT
THIS TIME.

TRANQUIL CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR SAT MORNING...BUT SW WINDS WILL BE
INCREASING AHEAD OF ANOTHER...STRONGER...COLD FRONT SAT AFTERNOON.
SCA FOR WINDS WILL BE NEEDED EARLY IN THE DAY...BUT GALE WARNINGS
MAY BE LIKELY ONCE AGAIN FOR LATE SAT AFTERNOON THROUGH SUN. AS
PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED...LATER SHIFTS WILL NEED TO CONSIDER THE
POSSIBILITY OF FREEZING SPRAY ACROSS THE OCEAN ZONES FOR SAT NIGHT
INTO SUN...AS AIR TEMPS SHOULD BE BELOW FREEZING...WATER TEMPS ARE
COLD ENOUGH...AND FORECASTED WIND/SEA CONDITIONS MEET LOCAL CRITERIA
FOR FREEZING SPRAY PRODUCTION.

STRONG NW FLOW CONTINUES BEHIND THE FRONT FOR SUN NIGHT...WEAKENING
SLIGHTLY AND BECOMING MORE WESTERLY ON MON.
&&

.HYDROLOGY...
