AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE UPTON NY
439 PM EDT TUE JUL 22 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK LOW PRESSURE TROUGH WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA THROUGH
TONIGHT. DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE OVER THE MIDWEST WILL MOVE INTO
PENNSYLVANIA AND UPSTATE NEW YORK ON WEDNESDAY...WHILE ITS LEADING
WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH THROUGH THE REGION. AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT
WILL THEN STALL JUST WEST OF THE AREA WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND
NIGHT...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL AS ADDITIONAL WAVES OF
LOW PRESSURE MOVE ALONG IT. THE FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS ON
THURSDAY...AND WILL BE EAST OF THE REGION ON FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
AN INCREASE IN SUN ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON...HAS WORKED TO
DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE...ESPECIALLY NORTH AND WEST OF NEW YORK
CITY. MARGINAL TO MODERATE INSTABILITY HAS ALLOWED SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON NORTH AND WEST
OF NEW YORK CITY. THE STEERING FLOW WILL THEN PUSH THIS ACTIVITY TO
THE I-95 CORRIDOR ALONG AND NORTH OF NEW YORK CITY AND SOUTHWEST
CONNECTICUT. CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY CONTINUES INTO THE EVENING BEFORE
THE DECREASE IN DIURNAL HEATING RESULTS IN WANING CONVECTION
THEREAFTER.

THE BEST CHANCE OF CONVECTION WILL BE NORTH AND WEST OF THE CITY
WHERE THE MOST HEATING HAS OCCURRED AS WELL AS A CLOSER PROXIMITY
TO THE SOURCE REGION FOR CONVECTION. LESSOR CHANCES EXIST FURTHER
EAST WITH DECREASED INSOLATION THUS FAR AND MORE MARITIME BASED
AIRMASS.

EXPECT ONLY ISOLATED CONVECTION OVERNIGHT WITH THE LACK OF A
WIDESPREAD SOURCE OF LIFT OR INSTABILITY. THERE WILL BE SOME
BOUNDARIES AROUND...WHICH COULD HELP SPARK A STRAY SHOWER OR
THUNDERSTORM.

HAVE UNDERCUT GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY ACROSS
THE NORTHWESTERN PORTION OF THE CWA DUE TO THE LIKELIHOOD OF RAIN
BRINGING TEMPERATURES DOWN TO THE DEW POINTS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A COLD FRONT WILL BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY AS IT APPROACHES THE
COAST ON WEDNESDAY. THIS BOUNDARY WILL THEN SPEND WEDNESDAY NIGHT
INTO THURSDAY CRAWLING ACROSS THE REGION. WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE WILL
LIKELY DEVELOP ON THE BOUNDARY AND THEN LIFT UP ALONG THE FRONT. THE
SLOW MOVING NATURE OF THE FRONT...AND THE EVENTUALLY ALIGNMENT OF
THE VERTICAL WIND PROFILE TO THE ORIENTATION OF THE FRONT WILL LEAD
TO THE TRAINING OF PRECIPITATION. MEANWHILE...A DEEP LAYERED
SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL TRANSPORT COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF SUB-TROPICAL
MOISTURE UP THE EASTERN SEABOARD ON THE OCEANIC SIDE OF THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY. THIS...COMBINED WITH DYNAMICS PROVIDED BY AN APPROACHING
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH THAT IS ABOUT TO PINCH OFF INTO A CLOSED
LOW...WILL LEAD TO AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE CAPABLE OF ORGANIZED
CONVECTION. THE THREAT OF CONVECTION WILL INCREASE DURING THE DAY
ON WEDNESDAY AND THEN BE OMNIPRESENT WEDNESDAY NIGHT BEFORE STARTING
TO TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST ON THURSDAY AS THE FRONT CREEPS
EASTWARD. THERE IS QUITE A SPREAD IN MODEL SOLUTIONS CONCERNING THE
PLACEMENT OF THE FRONT. BUT...HAVE LEANED HEAVILY TOWARD A SLOWER
SOLUTION DUE TO THE DEVELOPING 500 HPA CUTOFF LOW OVER THE EASTERN
GREAT LAKES.

FLOW SHOULD BECOME MORE ZONAL FRIDAY AS THE CUTOFF LOW LIFTS NORTH
BACK INTO CANADA. THIS WILL RESULT IN THE RETURN OF DRY WEATHER TO
THE TRI-STATE REGION.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
INITIALLY DRY CONDITIONS WILL GIVE WAY TO CHANCE POPS THROUGH MOST
OF THE PERIOD AS AN UNUSUAL MIDSUMMER CUTOFF UPPER LOW TO THE NORTH
SPINS SHORTWAVE ENERGY THROUGH THE AREA. AN APPROACHING SURFACE
BOUNDARY COMBINED WITH DIURNAL HEATING WARRANT CHANCE POPS FOR
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WHILE THE NEXT COLD FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO PUSH THROUGH THE AREA LATE ON SUNDAY. THE CUTOFF LOW
WILL PERSIST THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...KEEPING THE PATTERN UNSETTLED
THROUGH AT LEAST TUESDAY. MODELS DISAGREE ON EXACT TIMING OF
CONVECTION...ALTHOUGH FEEL THE BEST CHANCES WILL BE WITH AFTERNOON
HEATING EACH DAY.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
ATM IS UNSTABLE JUST N AND W OF KNYC. SFC FRONT HAS BACKED THRU
THE REGION AND STRETCHES FM THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY INTO ERN NJ.
LOW PRES IS DEEPENING OVER SERN PA. S/WV OVER CNTRL PA PROGGED TO
REACH WRN FCST AREA AFT 18Z. THIS SHUD INITIATE CONVECTION. STORM
MOTION IS THEN EWD AT 15-20KT. IF STORMS DO NOT INITIATE IN THE W BY
23Z...DO NOT EXPECT FIRST ROUND OF CONVECTION TO IMPACT THE CWA.
WINDS ABV THE SFC INCREASE OVERNIGHT WITH ISOLD-SCT
ACTIVITY...MAINLY SRN TERMINALS AS LLJET PROGGED TO BE ESE.

MOIST SLY FLOW INCREASES AFT 12Z WITH LOW CIGS/BR THEN INCREASING
TSRA CHANCES. MAY BE SOME BREAKS IN THE MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS IN
SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE OVERNIGHT CONVECTION.

OUTLOOK FOR 18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
MOISTURE INCREASES WITH +TSRA POSSIBLE LATE WED INTO WED NIGHT.
POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR THE HEAVIEST AXIS TO BE W OF KNYC TERMINALS
PER MODEL UNCERTAINTY. RA EXITS LATE THU AFTN/EVE AS THE MAIN COLD
FRONT CLEARS THE REGION.

ATTM...MAINLY VFR FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED...WITH
POSSIBLE MVFR OVERNIGHT FRI INTO SAT.

&&

.MARINE...
AN INCREASING SOUTHERLY FLOW WEDNESDAY AHEAD OF SLOWLY MOVING
FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL BUILD SEAS ON THE OCEAN BACK TO SMALL CRAFT
LEVELS. THE FORWARD PROGRESSION OF THE FRONT WILL SLOW AS AN UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH BECOMES A CLOSED LOW. THIS FRONT WILL NOW CRAWL ACROSS
THE WATERS THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY...LIKELY KEEPING SEAS AT SMALL
CRAFT LEVELS INTO FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE ATLANTIC BECOMES
ESTABLISHED AGAIN ACROSS THE WATERS LATER FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. WINDS
ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT LEVELS ON ALL THE AREA
WATERS...ALTHOUGH SOME STRONGER GUSTY WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN
THUNDERSTORMS.

HAVE DECIDED NOT TO RAISE FLAGS FOR SCA FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS FOR LATE
IN THE SECOND PERIOD AT THIS POINT...AS THE WINDS SHOULD QUICKLY
INCREASE TO SCA SHORTLY THEREAFTER. DO NOT WANT ANY CONFUSION WITH
HEADLINES...SO WILL ALLOW LATER SHIFT TO SEND A MORE CONSISTENT
MESSAGE FOR ALL WATERS.

SEAS SHOULD BUILD TO SCA CRITERION DURING THE DAY ON SATURDAY AS
SOUTHERLY FLOW INCREASES AHEAD OF THE NEXT COLD FRONT. SEAS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 5-8 FT RANGE THROUGH SUNDAY...UNTIL FINALLY
SUBSIDING BELOW SCA CRITERION LATE IN THE DAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
SCATTERED CONVECTION THROUGH THIS EVENING COULD PRODUCE BRIEF
DOWNPOURS WITH LOCALIZED URBAN/POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING...MAINLY NORTH
AND WEST OF NEW YORK CITY.

FLOODING MAY BECOME A CONCERN WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY AS THE
REGION CONTINUES TO RECEIVE WAVES OF PRECIPITATION. WILL HOLD OFF ON
THE ISSUANCE OF A WATCH AT THIS POINT...DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE DRY
WEATHER OF LATE AND FULL SUMMER GREENUP WILL ALLOW US TO ABSORB AT
LEAST AN INCH OR TWO WITHOUT ENCOUNTERING SIGNIFICANT WIDESPREAD
FLOODING PROBLEMS. AT THIS POINT...EXPECT QPF AMOUNTS OF BETWEEN TWO
AND THREE INCHES IN A 30 HOUR PERIOD FROM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH THURSDAY. THIS IS BELOW FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE...BUT WILL
LIKELY RESULT IN AT LEAST MODERATE FLOODING PROBLEMS...PRIMARILY ON
SMALL RIVERS AND STREAMS...LOW LYING...POOR DRAINAGE AND HIGHLY
URBAN AREAS. WILL HIGHLIGHT IN THE HWO FOR NOW.

&&

.EQUIPMENT...
ON JULY 28TH...AMBROSE LIGHT TOWER WILL BE DECOMMISSIONED. NO DATA
WILL BE AVAILABLE FROM THIS STATION UNTIL A SUITABLE REPLACEMENT IS
ESTABLISHED. THIS WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT DATA LOSS FOR MARINERS IN
AND AROUND THE ENTRANCE TO NEW YORK HARBOR.

&&

.OKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CT...NONE.
NY...NONE.
NJ...NONE.
MARINE...NONE.
