AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE UPTON NY
745 AM EDT SUN JUL 27 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A TROUGH IN THE LEE OF THE APPALACHIANS WILL REMAIN NEARLY
STATIONARY OVER WESTERN PARTS OF THE TRI-STATE THROUGH MONDAY
MORNING...WHEN IT WILL MERGE WITH A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM
THE WEST...WHICH WILL CROSS THE REGION MONDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS IN LATE MONDAY NIGHT AND
TUESDAY...THEN SLIDES OFFSHORE TUESDAY NIGHT. AN AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE WILL TRACK EAST ACROSS THE AREA WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. A FRONT WILL THEN REMAIN STALLED JUST SOUTH OF THE REGION
WITH WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE PERIODICALLY RIDING ALONG THE FRONT
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
HAVE UPDATED TO BRING ALL AREAS UP TO CHANCE POPS THIS
MORNING...AS LINES OF CONVECTION HAVE HELD TOGETHER BETTER THAN
EXPECTED SO FAR THIS MORNING. WINDS HAVE PEAKED OUT AT 25KT WITH
ONLY LIGHT RAINFALL AMOUNTS WHERE THE STORMS HAVE CROSSED ASOS
SITES...SO DO NOT EXPECT ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT OUT OF CURRENT BATCH
OF STORMS. HOWEVER...WHAT THIS HAS SHONE IS ATMOSPHERE IS ALREADY
UNSTABLE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THUNDERSTORMS...WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF
ANY SOLAR HEATING...SO GIVES VALIDITY TO CURRENT THINKING OF A
SEVERE THREAT FOR LATER TODAY. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

WHILE GFS HAS BETTER OVERALL HANDLE ON CURRENT CONVECTION COMPARED
TO NAM...IT DOES HAVE CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK ISSUES...SO DO NOT TRUST
IT COMPLETELY. BOTH MODELS ARE UNDER DOING AMOUNT OF LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE...SO LOOKED MORE AT FORCING DEPICTED BY BOTH MODELS AND
BLENDED THIS TO COME UP WITH AN OVERALL FORECAST.

STILL APPEAR ON TRACK FOR STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND
TONIGHT...WITH THE BEST CHANCE LATE THIS AFTERNOON (WEST) AND
EARLY THIS EVENING (EAST) SO HAVE LIKELY POPS THEN. FOR THIS
MORNING HAVE CHANCE POPS INCREASING FROM NW TO SE...AND GRADUALLY
TAPER POPS DOWN FROM NW TO SE AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.

AS FOR THE SEVERE THREAT...RUC SUPPORTS GFS IDEA OF 3000 PLUS J/KG
OF CAPE OVER THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY/NE NJ/SW CT BY 18Z THIS
AFTERNOON (NAM HAS LOWER VALUES BUT SIMILARLY PLACED). BOTH NAM
AND GFS THEN INCREASE CAPE OVER EASTERN AREAS TO AROUND 2000 J/KG
IN EARLY EVENING...THEN GRADUALLY DIMINISH FROM NW TO SE AS THE
NIGHT PROGRESSES. SHOULD HAVE ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO WORK
WITH NOTING PROGGED IN LOW LEVEL THETA-E RIDGE OF 344-348K. IN
ADDITION TO GOOD THERMO DYNAMICS...ALSO HAVE PRETTY POTENT 5H
SHORTWAVE PROGGED ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AS
WELL AS THE REGION ENDING UP IN THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF A
60KT UPPER JET STREAK.

IT APPEARS WILL HAVE 25-35KT OF GENERALLY UNIDIRECTIONAL
SHEAR...SUGGESTING POTENTIAL FOR LINE SEGMENTS AND POSSIBLE
CLUSTERS FORMING OUT AHEAD OF THE SEGMENTS (SUCH AS IS GOING ON
OVERNIGHT). THE MAIN THREAT IS DAMAGING WINDS..ESPECIALLY NEAR THE
APEX OF ANY BOW ECHO...AND LARGE HAIL. ACCORDINGLY SPC HAS THE
ENTIRE CWA UNDER A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS.

FOR TEMPERATURES...FOR HIGHS TODAY USED A BLEND OF MAV/FWC MOS
WITH MIX DOWN OF NAM 850 TEMPERATURE (WEIGHED MORE TOWARDS MIXED
DOWN TEMPERATURE INLAND...AND MOS NEAR THE COAST)...FOR LOWS
TONIGHT USED A MAV/FWC/MET BLEND. TEMPERATURES SHOULD RUN SLIGHTLY
ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
WITH SURFACE TO 850 COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH MONDAY
AFTERNOON/EVENING ALONG WITH MID TO UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS...HAVE
MAINTAINED CHANCE POPS THAT TIME FRAME (HIGHER THAN GUIDANCE...BUT
NOT MUCH ABOVE A BLEND OF FWC/MET 6 HOUR POPS). APPEARS MODELS
UNDERESTIMATING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE (AS THEY CURRENTLY ARE) AS DRIER
AIR WILL NOT MOVE IN UNTIL PASSAGE OF MERGED COLD FRONT/LEE TROUGH
COMBO (IT APPEARS MODELS TRY TO ADVECT DRIER AIR BETWEEN LEE
TROUGH AND COLD FRONT CURRENTLY THROUGH THE LEE TROUGH
OVERNIGHT...HOWEVER EXPERIENCE SUGGESTS APPALACHIANS WILL ACT AS
SUFFICIENT BARRIER TO PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING. WILL HAVE LESS
SHEAR MONDAY THAN TODAY...SO THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER IS REDUCED
AS WELL.

LOOKS LIKE MONDAY WILL BE ABOUT A DEGREE OR SO WARMER THAN TODAY
(WARM PUSH AHEAD OF COLD FRONT). LOWS MONDAY NIGHT SHOULD BE A TAD
COOLER THAN TONIGHT BEHIND THE FRONT.

MAIN IMPACT OF COLD FRONT WILL BE TO DRY THINGS OUT SOMEWHAT...SO
HAVE GONE WITH A DRY FORECAST FROM LATE MONDAY EVENING THROUGH
TUESDAY NIGHT (RETURN FLOW JUST SETTING UP TUESDAY NIGHT...SO TO
SOON TO SUPPORT DIURNAL CONVECTION).

IMPACT OF COLD FRONT IS NOT ALL THAT SIGNIFICANT AS FAR AS HIGHS
GO AS VERY WELL COULD APPROACH/REACH 90 IN METRO NEW YORK CITY
HEAT ISLAND (AWAY FROM SOUTHERN COASTAL AREAS) AGAIN ON
TUESDAY...AND WITH A UNIFORM WESTERLY FLOW THROUGH THE BOUNDARY
LAYER...THE SEA BREEZE WILL NOT BE FROM TYPICAL ONSHORE
DIRECTION...BUT MORE SW (IF IT FORMS AT ALL)...SO TUESDAY COULD BE
THE WARMEST DAY SO FAR THIS WEEK FOR COASTAL AREAS. LOWS TUESDAY NIGHT
WILL RUN A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
FOR EXTENDED LEANED TOWARDS A BLEND OF 00Z GEFS MEAN AND 12Z AND
00Z ECMWF.

A STORM SYSTEM WILL CROSS THE TRI-STATE WEDNESDAY/WEDNESDAY
NIGHT...LIKELY PUSHING THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT STALLED TO OUR
SOUTH TUESDAY BACK NORTH THROUGH MOST OF THE AREA AHEAD OF
IT...THEN SEND IT BACK TO OUR SOUTH BEHIND IT BY THURSDAY MORNING.
BEING IN THE WARM SECTOR WEDNESDAY WILL ALLOW FOR HIGHS WEDNESDAY
TO REACH NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS. THIS FRONT WILL
REMAIN STALLED TO OUR SOUTH INTO SATURDAY WITH WAVES OF LOW
PRESSURE RIDING ALONG IT FROM TIME TO TIME. THIS COUPLED WITH
EASTERLY FLOW SETTING UP ACROSS THE REGION...RESULTED IN TWEAKING
THE FORECAST IN A MORE PESSIMISTIC DIRECTION...WITH AT LEAST
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS EVERYDAY...INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND SLIGHTLY
LOWER TEMPERATURES AT DAY/SLIGHTLY WARMER AT NIGHT THAN PREVIOUS
FORECAST. (SO EXPECT BELOW NORMAL HIGHS AND ABOVE NORMAL LOWS THU-
SAT).

&&

.AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PUSH ACROSS EASTERN
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA EARLY THIS MORNING. EXPECT THE
IMPACT TO BE A BRIEF BURST OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN LOWERING VSBY
TO IFR...CLOUD TO SURFACE LIGHTNING AND EITHER LOW END VFR OR HIGH
END MVFR CIGS. THEREAFTER...EXPECT THE ATMOSPHERE TO BECOME QUIET
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE MORNING...AS IT RELOADS FOR THIS
AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING.

A PRE FRONTAL TROUGH REMAINS JUST WEST OF THE CITY...AND A COLD
FRONT WILL APPROACH AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. EXPECT THE DEVELOPMENT
OF STORMS TO HOLD OFF UNTIL AFTER 17Z FROM THE NYC TERMINALS AND
NORTH AND WEST. WITH UNCERTAIN TIMING AND CHANCES AT THE TERMINALS
HAVE ONLY INDICATED CB GROUPS AT THIS TIME. FARTHER EAST ACTIVITY
WILL BE LATER AND MORE UNCERTAIN SO LEFT OUT AT THIS TIME. THE
ATMOSPHERE WILL BECOME MODERATELY TO QUITE UNSTABLE THIS AFTERNOON
AND REMAIN THAT WAY THROUGH TONIGHT. THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE FOR
SCT CONVECTION ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. THIS WILL LIKELY IMPACT ALL BUT EASTERN TERMINALS...AND
CERTAINLY WILL IMPACT APPROACH AND DEPARTURE ROUTES. MOST LIKELY
TIMING FOR CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY WILL BE FROM 18Z THIS AFTERNOON
THROUGH 04-06Z MONDAY. THE PEAK OF INTENSITY AND COVERAGE SHOULD
BE 22Z-02Z MON.

OUTLOOK FOR 12Z MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...ANOTHER TROUGH/COLD
FRONT APPROACHES FOR MONDAY. LOCAL MVFR TO IFR CIGS/VSBYS AND
GUSTY WINDS IN SHOWERS/TSTMS POSSIBLE ONCE AGAIN MONDAY AFTERNOON
INTO MONDAY NIGHT. THE BOUNDARY STALLS SOUTH OF THE AREA MONDAY
NIGHT. SUB-VFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE ON WED AFTERNOON THROUGH THU AS
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES ALONG THE STATIONARY BOUNDARY.

&&

.MARINE...
GENERALLY QUIET CONDITIONS THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD...WITH WINDS
AND SEAS EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SCA. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL
APPROACH TODAY AND WASH OUT AS IT GETS HUNG UP EITHER ACROSS WESTERN
WATERS OR TO THE WEST. ANOTHER WEAK COLD FRONT WILL PUSH TOWARD THE
AREA...AND IS EXPECTED TO CROSS THE WATERS MONDAY NIGHT. WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN FOR TUESDAY...BEFORE A ANOTHER WEAK TROUGH
APPROACHES FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS FOR THE
END FOR THE WEEK.

A 3 FT SOUTHERLY SWELL GENERATED BY THE PRE-FRONTAL S-SW FLOW SHOULD
BE ENOUGH TO CONTINUE A MODERATE RIP CURRENT RISK AT THE OCEAN
BEACHES TODAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
EVEN WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND TONIGHT...SHOULD BE
RELATIVELY QUICK MOVING...SO FLOOD THREAT IS NOT ALL THAT GREAT.
GENERALLY EXPECT 1/4 TO 1/2 AN INCH OF RAINFALL WITH LOCALLY HIGHER
AMOUNTS. WHILE LOCALIZED URBAN FLOODING CANNOT BE RULED OUT IN ANY
HEAVIER DOWNPOURS...IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A SIGNIFICANT THREAT
AT THIS TIME. EXPECT GENERALLY A QUARTER AN INCH OR LESS FROM ANY
CONVECTION MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE NEXT CHANCE FOR ANY
SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION WILL BE WITH PASSAGE OF A STORM SYSTEM
WEDNESDAY/WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SHOULD THEN HAVE SPOTTY LIGHT PRECIPITATION
WITH FRONT STALLED TO SOUTH AND EASTERLY FLOW THU-SAT.

&&

ON JULY 28TH...MARINE OBSERVATIONS FROM AMBROSE LIGHT TOWER WILL
BE DECOMMISSIONED.
