Area forecast discussion, Aug 11, 1:53 PM EDT, 1 hour 51 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE UPTON NY 153 PM EDT MON AUG 11 2008 .SYNOPSIS... UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL BE IN THE FORECAST FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE NEW WEEK AS AN UPPER TROUGH ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD ASSOCIATED WITH A DEEP UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER EASTERN CANADA SLOWLY MOVES EAST THROUGH TUESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE BRIEFLY RETURNS TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY BEFORE UNSETTLED WEATHER BUILDS BACK FOR THE END OF THE WORK WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... DEEP UPPER LOW SPINNING OVER WESTERN NY/PA APPEARS TO HAVE REACHED ITS SOUTHERNMOST POINT AND HAS BEGUN TO PIVOT EASTWARD IN THE PAST HOUR. THE VAST MAJORITY OF ACTIVE WEATHER WITH THIS SYSTEM IS EITHER CLOSE TO THE ELONGATED CENTER...OR WELL EAST OF THE CWA OVER THE NEW ENGLAND COAST. MASSIVE DRY SLOT OVER THE AREA HAS KEPT SHOWER DEVELOPMENT PRACTICALLY NIL FOR THE PAST FEW HOURS. HOWEVER...SHOWERS HAVE DEVELOPED JUST EAST ALONG NUMEROUS BOUNDARIES...AND EXTREME NW ZONES. MORE SHOWERS ANTICIPATED WITH THE ONSET OF DAYTIME HEATING...THE APPROACH OF THE UPPER LOW CENTER ITSELF...THE NUMBER OF RESIDUAL BOUNDARIES FROM LAST NIGHTS CONVECTION LURKING AROUND. HOWEVER...FOR THE FIRST FEW HOURS THIS MORNING...POPS HAVE BEEN TAILED BACK TO CHC EXCEPT FOR FAR EAST ZONES DUE TO PROXIMITY TO THE MORE ACTIVE PREFRONTAL WEATHER...AND FAR WEST WHERE CONVECTION SHOULD FIRE EARLIEST THIS MORNING. ALL AREAS GO TO LIKELY THIS AFTERNOON WITH FURTHER DESTABILIZATION. ENHANCED WORDING STILL LOOKS NECESSARY THIS AFTERNOON FOR HAIL AND STRONG WINDS. EXPECTING NEAR 1000 J/KG OF MUCAPE...AND LOCALLY MORE IF BREAKS OF SUN CAN WARM THE LOW LEVELS SUFFICIENTLY. SURFACE LOW PRESSURE IS WEAK...BUT IS FORECAST TO TRACK JUST SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND TODAY. LOW LEVEL EASTERLY FLOW...IF ENHANCED AT ALL...WOULD RESULT IN EXCELLENT VERTICAL SHEAR...AND THUS ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE IN STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT KOKX PRECIP ESTIMATES WERE OVERDONE BY A FACTOR OF 2-3 EARLIER TODAY...POSSIBLY DUE TO HAIL CONTAMINATION. TEMPS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW NORMAL TODAY. && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... A WEAK COLD FRONT...OR RATHER A WIND SHIFT AS THE LOW BEGINS TO PULL AWAY OCCURS THIS EVENING...WITH DECREASING ACTIVITY IN STABILIZING NW FLOW. MAINLY DRY WX EXPECTED FOR TUE AS SFC HIGH PRES BUILDS EAST...BUT A SPOKES OF ENERGY ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE DEPARTING LOW MAY TOUCH OFF SOME AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY A THUNDERSTORM. SCHC TO CHC POPS WILL SUFFICE AS FORCING DECREASES AND STABILITY IS MARGINAL. DIURNAL TREND TO POPS WED...BUT LOW CHANCES OVERALL. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... THE FLOW BACKS TO WESTERLY QUICKLY WED AFTERNOON...WITH THE NEXT SPOKE OF ENERGY FROM THE RE ENERGIZED POLAR VORTEX MOVING THROUGH ON THURSDAY EVENING. RELATIVELY QUIET WEATHER NOW IN THE MODEL GUIDANCE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. STRONGER SOUTHWEST FLOW RETURNS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AWHILE ON SUNDAY...HOWEVER GIVEN POOR MODEL PERFORMANCE WITH POLAR LOWS IN SUMMER...WILL NOT HEDGE TOO FAR IN ANY DIRECTION THAT FAR OUT. TEMPERATURES WILL GENERALLY BE AROUND THE SEASONAL AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. && .AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... LOW PRESSURE MOVING THROUGH NORTHWESTERN NEW JERSEY WAS TRACKING SLOWLY TO THE NORTH NORTHEAST AND WAS PRODUCING THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE TERMINALS. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE SCATTERED THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND PRODUCE MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS WITH HEAVY RAINFALL AND SMALL HAIL LIKELY. SOME WIND GUSTS BETWEEN 30 AND 40 KT ARE ALSO LIKELY. THE ACTIVITY WILL GRADUALLY SUBSIDE 21Z TO 23Z AS THE LOW CONTINUES TO TRACK TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE TERMINALS WITH MAINLY SHOWERS POSSIBLE AS THE ATMOSPHERE BECOMES MORE STABLE. AFTER THE ACTIVITY SUBSIDES CONDITIONS BECOME WILL BE VFR THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. OUTLOOK FOR 18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TUE AS THE LOW CONTINUES TO MOVE EAST OF THE TERMINALS. NEXT SHORTWAVE APPROACHES LATER WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WITH SUB-VFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS FRIDAY WITH VFR CONDITIONS INTO SATURDAY. && .MARINE... A FEW GUSTS POSSIBLE AHEAD OF LOW PRESSURE EARLY THIS MORNING. OTHERWISE...WINDS/WAVES EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SCA CRITERIA THROUGH THE PERIOD. SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE OCEAN WATERS TODAY BEFORE PASSING TO THE EAST TONIGHT. EASTERLY WIND FLOW THIS MORNING WILL GRADUALLY TURN TO THE NORTHWEST BEHIND THE LOW. BIGGER CONCERN FOR MARINERS TODAY WILL BE THE POSSIBILITY FOR ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...WITH HEAVY RAIN...FREQUENT LIGHTNING...GUSTY WINDS AND HAIL A POSSIBILITY WITH ANY OF THESE STORMS. NORTHWEST FLOW BACKS TO THE WEST TUESDAY BEFORE BECOMING QUITE LIGHT ON WEDNESDAY. ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE PASSES JUST TO OUR SOUTH THURSDAY. LIGHT WINDS EXPECTED FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. FOLLOWED WAVE WATCH III FAIRLY CLOSELY...AND SEAS REMAIN RATHER TRANQUIL THROUGH THE PERIOD. && .HYDROLOGY... WHILE HEAVY DOWNPOURS ARE POSSIBLE TODAY...IT IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE WIDESPREAD FOR A FLASH FLOOD WATCH. LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING IS POSSIBLE IN SLOW MOVING OR TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS...WHERE RAINFALL RATES OF 2-3 INCHES PER HOUR ARE POSSIBLE. && .OKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CT...NONE. NY...NONE.
