AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE UPTON NY
650 PM EDT SUN JUN 8 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST WILL KEEP HOT AND
HUMID CONDITIONS IN THE FCST THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THIS WEEK. A
COLD FRONT WILL BRING MORE SEASONAL TEMPERATURES TO THE REGION
LATE IN THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
UPDATED FCST TO CANCEL HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FOR THIS EVENING.
ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS HAS FIRED UP OVER CENTRAL NY AND
CENTRAL PA AND ARE TRACKING SE TOWARDS WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE
CWA. WILL MONITOR STRENGTH AND TRACK TO DETERMINE IF THEY WILL
AFFECT THE LOCAL AREA THIS EVENING.

AIRMASS BEGINNING TO STABILIZE DUE TO PREVIOUS TSTM ACTIVITY...AS
TEMPS HAVE DROPPED INTO THE 70S AND 80S. LATEST NAM MODEL
SOUNDINGS SHOWING INVERTED-V PATTERN...AS WELL AS CAPE VALUES
BETWEEN 1500-2000 J/KG...A LIFTED INDEX CLOSE TO -5 AND PWATS OVER
2. WEAK COLD POOL ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH SOME WEAK UPPER LEVEL
ENERGY THE FOCUS FOR STRONG TO SEVERE SHOWERS AND TSTMS THAT HAVE
DEVELOPED OVER THE AREA. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH CONTINUES TO
THE TRI-STATE AREA THROUGH THIS EVENING...AS ANY STORM THAT DOES
FIRE UP COULD EASILY GO SEVERE GIVEN THE CONDITIONS.

STORMS WILL TAPER OFF THIS EVENING WITH LOSS OF DIURNAL HEATING. A
WARM...MUGGY NIGHT SETS UP WITH MAINLY CLEAR SKIES AND OVERNIGHT
LOWS IN THE UPPER 70S ACROSS NYC AND IN THE 60S MOST ELSEWHERE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
DEEP RIDGE ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD WILL REMAIN IN CONTROL
THROUGH TUE...AND 850 MB TEMPS 20-22C WILL YIELD SFC TEMPS 95-100
ACROSS NYC AND URBANIZED AREAS OF NJ AND HIGHS IN THE THE MID TO
UPPER 90S ACROSS THE REST OF THE CWA. SFC DEWPOINTS WILL GENERALLY
BE IN THE UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70 WITH LITTLE MIXING IN THE
AFTERNOON. THE RESULTING HEAT INDEX WILL AVERAGE 100-104
THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE CWA...WITH ONLY THE IMMEDIATE COAST AND
EASTERN CT/LONG ISLAND BEING SPARED. HEAT ADVISORY REMAINS IN
EFFECT FOR MON AFTERNOON...AND ONE WILL MOST LIKELY BE ADDED FOR
TUE. WITHOUT COLD POOL ALOFT ON MON...NOT EXPECTING CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY TO DEVELOP.

PATTERN BEGINS TO CHANGE ON TUE AS HIGH PRES SHIFTS EAST AS A
COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. CURRENT TIMING WILL BRING THE
FRONT INTO CENTRAL NY AND CENTRAL PA BY MIDDAY TUE...THEN INTO
NJ/NYC AND LOWER HUDSON VALLEY EARLY TUE EVENING. WITH HIGH
INSTABILITY LEVELS OVER THE REGION AND INCREASING DEEP LAYER SHEAR
AND LOWERED LFCS...ORGANIZED CONVECTION...WITH STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE TUE AFTERNOON/NIGHT.

COLD FRONT CLEARS THE REGION BY WED MORNING WITH ONLY LINGERING
SHOWERS OUT EAST. NORTHWEST WINDS AND 850 MB TEMPS 10-12C WILL
YIELD MUCH MORE REASONABLE TEMPERATURES...YET STILL ABOUT 10
DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL...WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 80S.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE LONG TERM PERIOD LOOKS GENERALLY QUIET AS A SURFACE HIGH BUILDS
INTO THE AREA. THIS WILL RESULT IN DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH SATURDAY
MORNING. SOME OF THE GUIDANCE IS HINTING AT A FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND
SURFACE LOW MOVING INTO THE AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND INTO SUNDAY.
WILL GO AHEAD AND CARRY SLIGHT CHANCE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN
THE FORECAST. HIGHS THROUGH THE LONG TERM PERIOD WILL BE SLIGHTLY
ABOVE NORMAL AS HIGHS CLIMB INTO THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 80S.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS. COULD HAVE SOME ISOLD MVFR VSBYS IN HZ
THIS AFTERNOON. HIGH CLOUDS ASSOCIATED WITH DECAYING MCS OVER THE
EASTERN GREAT LAKES WORKING THEIR WAY INTO THE REGION. VERY
UNSTABLE AGAIN TODAY AND OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM MCS COULD VERY
WELL BE ENOUGH TO TRIGGER SOME TSTMS AGAIN THIS AFTN. NOT
INCLUDING IN TAFS AS TIMING/LOCATION OF INITIATION IS TO DIFFICULT
TO PINPOINT AT THIS TIME. TSTM AREA BEING INDICATED OVER SOUTH
CENTRAL NYS IN 11Z CCFP (VALID AT 17Z)...SO DAY SHIFT WILL NEED TO
MONITOR LATER ISSUANCES.

SEA BREEZE DEVELOPMENT LESS LIKELY TODAY DUE TO A STRONG WEST
FLOW IN THE MIXED LAYER. W/SW WINDS WILL BE AROUND 10 KT.

OUTLOOK FOR 12Z MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...
PERIODS OF MORNING FOG AND AFTERNOON HAZE EXPECTED THRU TUESDAY
AS THE PATTERN BECOMES STAGNANT. ISOLATED AFTERNOON TSTMS ARE
POSSIBLE...BUT VFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL OVERALL DURING THE DAYTIME.
THE NEXT SIGNIFICANT SYNOPTIC FEATURE WILL BE A COLD FRONT TUESDAY
NIGHT/WEDNESDAY PERIOD. THIS MAY PRODUCE TSTMS WITH THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE AND NW FLOW WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING BACK IN
THEREAFTER.

&&

.MARINE...
SUB-SCA WINDS AND SEAS THROUGH THE PERIOD. WE WILL HOWEVER NEED TO
BE COGNIZANT OF THE AMBROSE JET EACH AFTN AND EVE. A SW FLOW OF
10-15 KT WILL GENERALLY PREVAIL THROUGH TUE EVE AS A BERMUDA HIGH
REMAINS ANCHORED OFF THE SE COAST. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
AREA WATERS TUE NIGHT/WED MORNING WITH TSTMS POSSIBLE AND WINDS
VEERING AROUND TO THE NW IN ITS WAKE. HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS TO THE
AREA WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND THURSDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
SHOWERS AND TSTMS THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING COULD RESULT IN LOCALIZED
RAINFALL AMOUNTS OVER 1 INCH IN THE HEAVIEST STORMS AND DUE TO
ANY TRAINING EFFECTS. THIS WOULD RESULT IN LOCALIZED FLASH
FLOODING AND MINOR RISES OF LOCAL RIVERS AND STREAMS.

OTHERWISE...NEXT CHANCE FOR ORGANIZED CONVECTION WILL BE TUE
AFTERNOON/EVENING AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION.
LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE.

&&
