GOODMANWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS New York, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 27, 1:21 PM EDT, 6 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 27, 1:21 PM EDT, 6 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE UPTON NY 121 PM 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/... UPDATED TO ADD SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 760 FOR THE ENTIRE TRI- STATE AREA THROUGH 8PM. STORMS HAVE ALREADY PRODUCED LARGE HAIL IN NASSAU COUNTY. ANOTHER LINE OVER FROM EASTERN PA UP THROUGH THE HUDSON VALLEY WILL MOVE INTO WESTERN ZONES WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO BUT AT THIS POINT CANT RULE OUT SOMETHING POPPING JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE. INCREASED POPS ACROSS LONG ISLAND AND EASTERN CT WHERE LINE HAS ALREADY DEVELOPED. POPS GRADUALLY TAPER DOWN FROM NW TO SE AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. 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 /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... A PRE FRONTAL TROUGH REMAINS JUST WEST OF THE CITY...AND A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED A BIT EARLIER THAN EXPECTED AND THE ATMOSPHERE WILL REMAIN MODERATELY TO QUITE UNSTABLE THROUGH THIS EVENING. SPC HAS PLACED THE ENTIRE AREA IN A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH THROUGH 8PM WITH THE MAIN THREATS BEING LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. ONLY TERMINALS BEING DIRECTLY IMPACTED ATTM ARE KISP/KBDR/KGON...HOWEVER LINE FROM EASTERN PA UP THROUGH THE HUDSON VALLEY WILL MOVE EAST IMPACTING KSWF AND NYC TERMINALS BY 19Z. APPROACH AND DEPARTURE ROUTES FROM NYC ARE MOST LIKELY ALREADY BEING AFFECTED. 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... QUICK UPDATE TO ADD SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 760 THROUGH 8PM. 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. && .EQUIPMENT... ON JULY 28TH...MARINE OBSERVATIONS FROM AMBROSE LIGHT TOWER WILL BE DECOMMISSIONED. && .OKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CT...NONE. NY...NONE. NJ...NONE. MARINE...NONE. &&
