AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE UPTON NY
907 PM EDT WED SEP 3 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
HAZY...HOT AND HUMID WEATHER IS FORECAST FOR THURSDAY INTO
FRIDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES THE REGION.

TROPICAL STORM HANNA...OVER THE SOUTHEAST BAHAMAS THIS AFTERNOON...IS
FORECAST TO MOVE NORTHWARD UP THE EAST COAST AND AFFECT OUR REGION
ON SATURDAY WITH POTENTIALLY HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS. PLEASE
REFER TO NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER PRODUCTS FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
WEAK VORT MAX ROTATING ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE UPPER LEVEL LOW OFF
THE COAST...LOW LEVEL LIFT ALONG WITH COLD TEMPERATURES
ALOFT...WERE PRODUCING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
CONNECTICUT INTO LONG ISLAND. STORMS WILL PERSIST UNTIL ABOUT
MIDNIGHT AS UPPER LOW SLOWLY DRIFTS TO THE NORTHEAST.
UPDATED ZONES FOR THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

DEEP CUTOFF LOW SOUTH OF NEW NEWFOUNDLAND IS BEGINNING TO LIFT AWAY
TO THE NORTH AS A KICKER TROUGH OVER HUDSON BAY MOVES EAST. THIS
SHIFT IN THESE TWO SYSTEMS MARKS THE END OF A VERY BLOCKY PATTERN
AND HAS LARGE IMPLICATIONS ON THE AREAS WEATHER FOR THE NEXT 5
DAYS.

TEMPS TONIGHT SIMILAR OR A FEW DEGREES WARMER THAN LAST
NIGHT...WITH LATE NIGHT PATCHY FOG AWAY FROM THE COASTS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
INTRODUCED ISOLD SHOWERS/TSTM ACROSS NORTHERN TIER ZONES ON
THURSDAY AS A WEAK COLD FRONT STALLS TO THE NORTH OF THE CWA.
TEMPS CONTINUE TO WARM AS THE FLOW BACKS TO A MORE WESTERLY
DIRECTION. DOWNSLOPING WILL HELP TO DRY THE AIRMASS A BIT...BUT
HUMIDITY WILL BE NOTICEABLE. HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL PROBABLY END UP
IN THE 92-94 DEG RANGE ACROSS NYC AND NORTHERN NJ.

THE FLOW CONTINUES TO BACK TO SW AND EVENTUALLY SE AND INCREASE
FRIDAY...WITH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST DEPENDANT ON THE
STRENGTH AND TRACK OF HANNA. AT THIS TIME...THE OFFICIAL FORECAST
HAS INITIAL CLOUDINESS MOVING INTO THE REGION FRIDAY
AFTERNOON...WITH THE POTENTIAL OF A RAIN EVENT WELL OUT AHEAD OF
THE SYSTEM. THE SE FLOW INCREASES SUCH THAT ITS POSSIBLE TO SET
UP A COASTAL FRONT. THIS IS MOST LIKELY VERY LATE FRIDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE PRIMARY FOCUS THIS PERIOD WILL BE ON THE IMPACTS T.S. HANNA HAS
ON THE TRI-STATE AREA THIS WEEKEND. LATEST TPC FORECASTS BRING A
WEAKENING T.S. CLOSE TO EASTERN L.I. LATE SAT NIGHT AND THEN UP INTO
COASTAL NEW ENGLAND SUN MORNING. WHILE GLOBAL MODELS ARE ALL IN GOOD
AGREEMENT WITH THE TRACK OF THE SYSTEM ALONG THE ERN SEABOARD...
THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN THE TIMING. THIS IS DUE TO THE
STRONG SHEAR HANNA IS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING FROM A STRONG UPPER
TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. THIS SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO LESSEN
OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS WITH CONDITIONS BECOMING FAVORABLE FOR
INTENSIFICATION TO A CATEGORY 1 HURRICANE FRI MORNING.

AS HANNA INTERACTS WITH AN APPROACHING MID LATITUDE TROUGH AND
STRENGTHENING BAROCLINIC ZONE ON ITS WEST SIDE...THERE IS THE
POTENTIAL FOR A PRE (PREDECESSOR RAINFALL EVENT). RAINS COULD SPREAD
IN WELL AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM FRI NIGHT AND CONTINUE INTO SUN MORNING
BEFORE EXITING THE AREA. GUSTY WINDS WOULD NOT COME INTO THE PICTURE
UNTIL SAT EVENING...AS THIS IS THE TIME PERIOD THE CENTER OF LOW IS
FORECAST TO MAKE IT CLOSEST APPROACH TO THE FORECAST AREA. ONCE
AGAIN THOUGH...THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY IN THIS FORECAST AND THE
MARGIN OF ERROR FOR DAY 4 CAN BE SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES. PROBABILITY
OF EXPERIENCING TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS AT THIS TIME IS 20 TO 30
PERCENT.

BEHIND THE SYSTEM...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN SUN AFT AND MON. A COLD
FRONT THEN APPROACHES MON NIGHT WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE TUE. SCT
CONVECTION IS EXPECTED ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT.

WARM...MUGGY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ON SAT. RAINFALL ASSOCIATED
WITH HANNA WILL LIKELY KEEP MAX TEMPS SAT BELOW NORMAL. THE
REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD LOOKS TO BE AT OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /01Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
GENERALLY VFR THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY ACROSS CONNECTICUT INTO LONG ISLAND UNTIL
ABOUT 04Z. UPPER LOW OFF THE NORTHEAST DRIFTS TO THE NORTHEAST
THROUGH 12Z AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK ACROSS THE TERMINALS. A
LIGHT SOUTHERLY FLOW AND INCREASED LOW LEVELS MOISTURE MAY RESULT
IN SCATTERED MVFR FOG AT THE TERMINALS OUTSIDE OF THE NYC METRO
TERMINALS. WINDS GENERALLY FROM THE SOUTHWEST EARLY THURSDAY WILL
BECOME SOUTHERLY AS SEAS BREEZES DEVELOP.

OUTLOOK FOR 00Z FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...VFR INTO FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

CONDITIONS START TO DETERIORATE FRIDAY EVENING AS LOW
PRESSURE...HANNA OR THE REMNANTS OF...APPROACHES FROM THE SOUTH.
PLEASE REFER TO THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER FORECASTS FOR
FURTHER DETAILS ON HANNA. MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES LIKELY
LATE FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...ALONG WITH GUSTY WINDS AS THE
SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH. CONDITIONS IMPROVE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO
SUNDAY AS THE SYSTEM MOVES NORTHEAST OF THE TERMINALS.

SHOWERS POSSIBLE ON MONDAY WITH AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT.

&&

.MARINE...
UPDATED FOR THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS LONG ISLAND SOUND.

HIGH PRESSURE BREAKS DOWN TODAY INTO TOMORROW AS IT SLIDES
OFFSHORE...WITH A COUPLE OF TROUGHS MOVING ACROSS THE WATERS.
THE WEAK GRADIENT WILL KEEP WINDS BELOW SCA LEVELS THROUGH LATE IN
THE DAY THURSDAY. SCA CONDITIONS DUE TO LONG PERIOD SWELLS FROM
HANNA POSSIBLE THURSDAY NIGHT.

SWELLS SLIGHTLY LESS THAN YESTERDAY...BUT COMBINED WITH AN
INCREASING SOUTHERLY FLOW...WILL CONTINUE WITH A MODERATE RISK FOR
RIP CURRENTS ON THURSDAY. AS HANNA STRENGTHENS AND TRACKS TOWARDS
THE SE US COAST...RIP CURRENT RISK WILL LIKELY INCREASE TO HIGH BY
LATE WEEK.

BREAKERS WILL LIKELY BE IN THE 3 TO 5 FT RANGE TODAY AGAIN AS WELL.
THIS FALLS BELOW THE 7 FT THRESHOLD FOR HIGH SURF ADVISORY...BUT
THIS MAY BE REALIZED BY LATE WEEK AS WELL.

LATEST TPC FORECASTS TAKE HANNA CLOSE TO THE EASTERN OCEAN WATERS
SAT NIGHT WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS AT THIS
TIME. IN ADDITION...HIGH SURF AND DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS WILL
PRECEDE THE SYSTEM AND LIKELY CONTINUE INTO SUN. CONDITIONS WILL
GRADUALLY IMPROVE SUN INTO MON AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE
WATERS. NW WINDS BEHIND THE DEPARTING LOW ON SUN WILL BEGIN TO KNOCK
SEAS DOWN...BUT IT MAY TAKE UNTIL EARLY MON FOR SEAS ON THE OCEAN TO
DROP BELOW SCA CRITERIA.

WILL LIKELY BE LOOKING AT HIGH SURF ADVISORIES AS EARLY AS FRIDAY
AFTERNOON DEPENDING ON SWELLS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
GENERALLY LESS THAN 1/2 INCH OF BASIN AVG QPF EXPECTED WITH ISOLD
SHOWERS/TSTMS THIS EVENING. DRY THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
WEEK.

THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN THIS WEEKEND FROM HANNA. AND
THIS HAS BEEN HIGHLIGHTED IN THE HWO.

&&
