AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE UPTON NY
534 PM EDT SUN JUN 22 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A LINGERING LOW PRESSURE TROUGH OVER THE AREA WILL COMBINE WITH
DAYTIME HEATING AND DISTURBANCES ROTATING AROUND AN UPPER TROUGH TO
THE WEST...TO PRODUCE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH TUESDAY.
THE TROUGH AND AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE AREA
TUESDAY EVENING...WITH A RETURN TO DRY WEATHER THROUGH FRIDAY.
UNSETTLED WEATHER SHOULD RETURN BY NEXT WEEKEND AS ANOTHER UPPER LOW
DIGS INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
THE STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION THAT OCCURRED EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON
OVER THE NYC METRO AREA HAS MOSTLY DISSIPATED...BUT OTHER STORMS IN
ORANGE COUNTY AND NORTHEAST NJ HAVE INTENSIFYING VIA THE ENHANCED
LIFT FROM THE OUTFLOW FROM THESE EARLIER STORMS. LIKELY POP
CONTINUES FOR THESE FOR THE NORTHWEST ZONES AND CHANCE POP INTO NYC
METRO. SOME COULD BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING STRONG WINDS AND HAIL INTO
EARLY THIS EVENING.

EXPECT A BREAK IN THE ACTION LATER THIS EVENING...BUT THEN
CONVECTION OVER WEST VIRGINIA AND THE BLUE RIDGE IN VIRGINIA MOVING
NE IN DEEP LAYER SW FLOW SHOULD REACH AREAS FROM NYC WEST SOME TIME
AFTER MIDNIGHT...SO LIKELY POP FORECAST LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY MON
MORNING FOR THOSE AREAS. SEVERE WX NOT EXPECTED WITH THESE STORMS AS
LEFTOVER INSTABILITY SHOULD BE MARGINAL/ELEVATED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
WITH WEAK SFC TROUGH STILL LINGERING OVER OR JUST WEST OF THE AREA
AND UNCAPPED INSTABILITY WITH MLCAPE 1000-1500 J/KG FROM NYC
WEST...SEVERE POTENTIAL LOOKS GREATER FOR MON AFTERNOON/EVENING...AS
H7 AND H5 WINDS INCREASE TO 25 AND 40 KT RESPECTIVELY...AND AS THE
AREA FALLS UNDER THE RIGHT REAR QUADRANT OF AN H3 JET STREAK PASSING
THROUGH PA AND UPSTATE NY. POP INCREASED TO LIKELY FOR MON AFTERNOON
AND EARLY EVENING FROM NYC NORTH/WEST. BULK SHEAR OF ABOUT 40 KT AND
CAPE BOTH SUFFICIENT FOR SEVERE WIND GUSTS AND LARGE HAIL IN THE
STRONGER STORMS. BACKING HODOGRAPH PROFILES FROM 3-6 KM ALOFT
SUGGEST MAYBE A FEW LEFT-MOVERS. ALSO DEBATED ISSUING A FLASH FLOOD
WATCH...ESPECIALLY FOR AREAS HARD HIT BY CONVECTION TODAY...BUT MCS
MOTION LOOKS TO BE A LITTLE QUICKER THAN THAT OF TODAY.
WILL REASSESS UPON RETURN TO THE MIDNIGHT SHIFT TONIGHT.

ONSHORE FLOW OF COOLER MARITIME AIR SHOULD GREATLY LIMIT TSTM
POTENTIAL ACROSS CENTRAL/EASTERN PORTIONS OF LONG ISLAND/CT...BUT A
FEW STRONGER STORMS COULD MAKE IT INTO THE MARINE LAYER DURING MON
EVENING.

LAST DAY OF REPEAT SHOWERS/TSTMS TAKES PLACE ON TUE...BEFORE UPPER
TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT FINALLY PASS THROUGH DURING TUE
EVENING. LOWER TROPOSPHERIC WINDS BELOW 25 KT AND DEEP LAYER FLOW
TURNING MORE W-NW IN THE AFTERNOON SUGGEST FASTER MOVING STORMS...
WITH DIMINISHED SEVERE/FLOOD POTENTIAL.

FOR TEMPS...MAV CONTINUES ITS SLIGHT DAYTIME WARM BIAS...SO UNDERCUT
HIGHS BY A COUPLE OF DEGREES. MAV MINS LOOK ON TARGET TONIGHT AND
MON NIGHT...BUT UNDERCUT OUTSIDE NYC FOR TUE NIGHT WITH CLEARING
SKIES.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...WITH
WNW FLOW ALOFT AND TD/S MAINLY IN THE UPPER 50S. PROGS HINT AT A
WEAK FRONT AFFECTING THE AREA LATE THURSDAY AND EARLY
FRIDAY...WARRANTING LOW POPS FOR THAT PERIOD. CHANCES FOR TSRA
INCREASE FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY WITH TD/S REBOUNDING INTO THE 60S ON
MORE SOUTHERLY FLOW. GFS/ECMWF GUIDANCE SHOW THE BEST CHANCES FOR
CONVECTION LATE ON SATURDAY AS THE NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHES
THE REGION.

TEMPS THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL BE NEAR OR ABOVE CLIMATOLOGY...WITH
WARMEST TEMPS EXPECTED THU/FRI. TD/S WILL RISE INTO THE MID 60S BY
THE WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
BEST CHANCES FOR IMPACTS FROM TSTMS IS NORTH AND WEST OF NYC
TERMINALS. ERRATIC WINDS AT NYC/NRN NJ TERMINALS POSSIBLE THRU 22Z
WITH TSTM OUTFLOW.

STRONGER SOUTHERLY WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH OVERNIGHT. WITH RECENT
RAINFALL...FOG IS POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT AS WELL AS LOW STRATUS.
HOWEVER...AN APPROACHING SHORTWAVE EXPECTED TO KICK OFF SHOWERS
MAY ACTUALLY END UP KEEPING CONDS UP A LITTLE. TAF CIGS/VSBYS
CARRY SOME UNCERTAINTY TONIGHT BASED ON THIS SCENARIO.

OUTLOOK FOR 20Z MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY... IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE
- ESPECIALLY AT COASTAL TERMINALS - THROUGH CLOSE OF MORNING PUSH
MONDAY MORNING (CONTINUATION FORM SUNDAY NIGHT). THINGS WILL
REMAIN UNSTABLE INTO TUESDAY NIGHT WITH A CHANCE OF SHRA/TSTMS
WITH LOCAL MVFR TO IFR CIGS/VSBYS. HIGHER CONFIDENCE IN THUNDERSTORMS
IMPACTING THE AIRSPACE MONDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. VFR CONDITIONS
THEN RETURN FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...
PERSISTENT S-SW FLOW OF 10-15 KT THROUGH TUE...COMBINED WITH S SWELL
UP TO 3 FT ARRIVING FROM THE SOUTH...SHOULD RESULT IN COMBINED SEAS
NO HIGHER THAN 4 FT...SO NO SCA PLANNED ATTM FOR THE OCEAN.

WINDS THEN SHIFT AROUND TO THE NW BY TUE NIGHT BEHIND A COLD
FRONT... WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN. THE HIGH BEGINS MOVING
OFFSHORE BY WED NIGHT...WITH WINDS SHIFTING TO THE SW.

WINDS CONTINUE OUT OF THE SW ON THU AS HIGH PRESSURE DRIFTS OFF THE
COAST...INCREASING TO 15 TO 20 KT AS A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY
APPROACHES THE AREA LATE IN THE DAY.

WIND SPEEDS THROUGH THE PERIOD ARE EXPECTED TO BE GENERALLY 20 KT OR
LESS...WITH MINIMAL GUSTINESS OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS. DO NOT SEE
SUPPORT FOR SCA LEVEL SEAS AT THIS TIME.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL POSSIBLE AGAIN ON MONDAY. TOTAL ADDITIONAL
AREAL QPF CALLS FOR 1-1.5 INCHES FROM NYC NORTH/WEST...AND 0.5-1
INCH ACROSS LONG ISLAND AND SOUTHEAST CT. LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS OF
2-3 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE IN HEAVIER CONVECTION ESPECIALLY FROM THE
NYC METRO AREA NORTH/WEST...WHICH COULD CAUSE LOCALIZED FLASH
FLOODING. WILL REASSESS NEED FOR FLASH FLOOD WATCHES FOR PORTIONS OF
THE AREA FOR MONDAY ON THE MID SHIFT TONIGHT.
