AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE UPTON NY
313 PM EDT THU AUG 7 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A BROAD UPPER TROUGH ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD ASSOCIATED WITH A
CLOSED UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER EASTERN CANADA WILL REMAIN IN PLACE
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES WILL SLIDE THROUGH
THE REGION...PRODUCING THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
DURING THE PERIOD.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE CONTINUES TO DIG INTO THE REGION FROM THE
WEST. THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OVER THE REGION...AND
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH #813 REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM FOR
NYC/NORTHEAST NJ/WESTERN LONG ISLAND AND THE WESTERN THREE-
QUARTERS OF CT.

THE SHORTWAVE WILL MAINLY TRACK ACROSS THE NORTHERN THIRD OF THE
REGION...AND SFC LOW PRES WILL BE DEVELOPING JUST OVER NJ/NYC THIS
EVENING BEFORE SLOWLY TRACKING EAST DURING THE OVERNIGHT. 12Z/07
NAM SHOWS MORE IN THE WAY OF WIDESPREAD QPF AS COMPARED WITH THE
12Z/07 OPERATIONAL GFS. THERE IS PROBABLY A BIT TO MUCH IN THE WAY
OF CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK ON THE NAM...SO WILL SIDE WITH THE GFS AND
WILL KEEP LIKELY POPS UP FOR THE NORTHERN THIRD OF THE CWA WITH
HIGH CHANCE POPS ELSEWHERE. WITH CAPE VALUES RISING TO 1500 J/KG
AND LIFTED INDEXES TO FALL TO -5 LATE TONIGHT...WILL KEEP
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST. GIVEN THE CONVECTIVE NATURE OF THIS
SYSTEM...WILL MAINLY LOOK FOR WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS TO
DEVELOP...AS OPPOSED TO AN ORGANIZED LINE.

SFC DEWPOINTS CURRENTLY IN THE 50S WEST OF A LINE FROM WESTERN NEW
HAVEN COUNTY SOUTHEAST INTO NYC AND IN THE 60S EAST OF THAT LINE.
THE WESTERLY WINDS OVER THE WESTERN THIRD OF THE CWA SHOULD HELP
KEEP THE SFC DEWPOINTS DOWN...SO FLOODING MAY NOT BE AS MUCH OF A
CONCERN AS IT WOULD BE TO THE EAST. SOUTHEAST WINDS ACROSS LONG
ISLAND AND CT WILL CONTINUE TO USHER ABUNDANT ATLANTIC MOISTURE
INTO THE REGION...SO ANY CELLS THAT DEVELOP COULD EASILY RESULT IN
FLOODING...ESPECIALLY WHERE CELLS BACKBUILD AND TRAIN.

THERE MAY BE A BREAK IN THE ACTIVITY SOMETIME AROUND MIDNIGHT
BEFORE PICKING UP AGAIN TOWARDS DAYBREAK AS THE SHORTWAVE MOVES
OVER THE REGION.

OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL MAINLY BE IN THE 60S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SFC LOW MOVES INTO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND ON FRI...KEEPING LIKELY
POPS ACROSS NORTHERN ZONES AND AT LEAST CHANCE POPS ELSEWHERE.
STILL COULD BE SOME POTENT STORMS IN THE AFTERNOON AS CAPE VALUES
RISE TO 1100 J/KG AND LIFTED INDEX REMAINS AROUND -5. LATEST GFS
SOUNDING ALSO INDICATES INVERTED-V PATTERN...SUGGESTING HAIL AND
GUSTY WINDS. ANY THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL END AFTER SUNSET FRI
NIGHT WITH LOSS OF DIURNAL HEATING AND THE APPROACH OF A MORE
STABLE AIRMASS.

SFC HIGH PRES BUILDS EAST ON SAT KEEPING MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS IN
THE FCST. WILL HAVE TO CARRY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS AS WEAK UPPER
LEVEL SHORTWAVE ROTATES THROUGH THE REGION. ANOTHER COLD FRONT
APPROACHES ON SUN...AND WILL CARRY CHANCE POPS IN THE AFTERNOON AS
IT TRACKS EAST.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR NORMAL DURING THE PERIOD.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
FOLLOWED HPC GUIDANCE FOR THE LONG TERM.

UPPER TROUGH REMAINS OVER THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE NATION...AND
TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURE WILL BE THE RULE FOR THE
PERIOD WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID 80S AND LOWS GENERALLY IN THE
60S.

WEAK SFC FRONT SLIDES THROUGH THE REGION SUN NIGHT...THEN SFC
HIGH PRES BUILDS INTO THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE REGION. A SERIES OF
DISTURBANCES WILL THEN SLIDE THROUGH THE REGION TUE AND WED...AND
WILL RUN WITH SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS. A MORE SIGNIFICANT
WAVE MAY PASS THROUGH THE REGION ON WED. 06Z/07 GFS BRINGS IT
RIGHT OVER THE AREA...WHILE 00Z/07 ECMWF BRINGS IT OVER THE AREA
TUE NIGHT. GIVEN THE DIFFERENCES...WILL PLAY IT CONSERVATIVE AND
CARRY CHANCE POPS TUE NIGHT THROUGH WED. ONCE THE WAVE MOVES
THROUGH THE REGION...DRY WX WILL BE IN PLACE TO CLOSE OUT THE
WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL PROVIDE INSTABILITY FOR
AFTERNOON CONVECTION.

MORNING LOW CLOUDS ARE TRANSITIONING INTO A CUMULUS FIELD WITH
BASES RISING TO 050-060 BY 18Z. CONVECTION BEINGS BY 17Z OVER THE
HILLS AND GRADUALLY INCREASES IN COVERAGE AS AFTERNOON CONTINUES.
IMPACTS TO NYC TERMINAL EXPECTED FOR EARLY EVENING PUSH.

KEWR WINDS WILL FAVOR THE 22S...THOUGH WESTERLY FLOW WILL LIMIT
USE OF OVERFLOW RUNWAY 11 (SAY 30-50% OF THE TIME WITH A 10 KT
TAIL WIND BETWEEN 18 AND 23Z).

CURRENT CONVECTION OVER EAST CENTRAL PA DIES OUT WITH NEW
CONVECTION DEVELOPING IN THE LOCAL INSTABILITY. TAFS INCLUDE A
TEMPO GROUP AS CONFIDENCE IS HIGH FOR CONVECTION. WHILE CONVECTION
MAY OCCUR ANYTIME AFTER 18Z AT NYC TERMINALS - HAVE FOCUS TEMPO
FOR MORE LIKELY TIMING. STORM MOTION FROM WEST AT 20-25 KT.

CONVECTION SHOULD DIMINISH AFTER 23Z WITH LOSS OF HEATING.

CEILING IN CONVECTION REMAIN VFR BASED...BUT VSBY DROPS BRIEFLY TO
IFR IN RAIN. HAIL AND WESTERLY WIND GUSTS IN THE CONVECTION
POSSIBLE.

OUTLOOK FOR 12Z FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...MAINLY VFR.
HOWEVER...PERSISTENT UPPER LOW WILL RESULT IN THE POSSIBILITY OF
AFTERNOON AND EVENING CONVECTION...WHICH COULD RESULT IN SUB VFR
CONDITIONS AT TIMES. THIS SCENARIO IS EXPECTED THROUGH SATURDAY.
WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING FROM THE SOUTH SUNDAY AND MONDAY THE
THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MINIMAL.

&&

.MARINE...
A SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT WILL PRODUCE SHOWERS
AND TSTMS OVER THE WATERS THROUGH THIS EVENING...WITH STORMS
CAPABLE OF HEAVY RAIN...HAIL...FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND GUSTY WINDS
OVER 40 KT. TSTMS SHOULD TAPER OFF AFTER SUNSET WITH LOSS OF
DIURNAL HEATING.

A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES WILL MOVE ACROSS THE WATERS AS AN UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH REMAINS IN PLACE OVER THE EASTERN SEABOARD THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. WILL GENERALLY EXPECT AT LEAST A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS
AND TSTMS OVER THE WATERS THROUGH THE PERIOD. A COLD FRONT WILL
MOVE ACROSS THE WATERS LATE SUN...THEN SFC HIGH PRES BUILDS EAST
FOR THE START OF THE NEW WEEK.

WINDS AND WAVES WILL GENERALLY REMAIN BELOW SCA CRITERIA.
HOWEVER...TSTMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF WIND GUSTS OVER 30 KT AND
LOCALLY HIGHER SEAS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
HEAVY RAIN EXPECTED WITH TSTMS TONIGHT THROUGH FRI AFTERNOON.
HEAVIEST RAINFALL RATES WILL AVERAGE 1 TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR AND
COULD BE HIGHER WHERE STORMS TRAIN AND BACKBUILD. CURRENTLY...SFC
DEWPOINTS ARE IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE
CWA...AND WOULD EXPECT HEAVIEST RAIN OVER CT AND LONG ISLAND. AS
WINDS TAKE ON MORE OF A SOUTHERLY FLOW OVER NYC/NJ/LOWER HUDSON
VALLEY...SFC DEWPOINTS WILL CLIMB INTO THE LOWER 60S. THIS WILL
PROVIDE AMPLE MOISTURE THIS EVENING.

PWATS AVERAGING 1.25 TO 1.5. FLOODING WILL BE LIKELY IN HEAVIEST
STORMS...AND ESPECIALLY IN AREAS OF TRAINING AND BACKBUILDING
STORMS.

&&

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