AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE UPTON NY
1233 AM EST SAT MAR 8 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. WILL MOVE INTO UPSTATE
NEW YORK BY SATURDAY EVENING BRINGING HEAVY RAIN AND POSSIBLE
FLOODING (FLOOD WATCH REMAIN IS EFFECT) TO THE REGION. STRONG
WINDS ARE EXPECTED SATURDAY NIGHT IN THE WAKE OF THE SYSTEM. HIGH
PRESSURE RETURNS SUNDAY INTO THE EARLY PART OF THE WORK WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
THE LARGE AND DEVELOPING MID LATITUDE CYCLONE WAS LOCATED NEAR
NRN SC/NRN GA/TN. BOTH NAM AND GFS APPEAR TOO WEAK AND SOUTH WITH THE
SURFACE CENTER. NOT MUCH INDICATION OF THE LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING
ALONG WARM/COASTAL FRONT AS NAM/WRF SUGGESTS AND LOOKING AT 09Z
SREF...APPEARS THAT ONLY A FEW MEMBERS (WRF?) HAVE THIS FEATURE.
WILL THUS NOT GO WITH THIS FRONTAL LOW DEVELOPING AND FOLLOW MORE
OF AN ELONGATING TROUGH AS SUGGESTED BY SREF RSM MEMBERS AS WELL
AS ECMWF AND GFS.

PRECIP EXPANDING RAPIDLY ACROSS MARYLAND AND HAVE IT TIMED INTO
THE CITY FOR THE RUSH HOUR (21Z). EXPECTING AROUND AN INCH WITH
THIS FIRST WAVE IN THE 00-06Z PERIOD. THIS SHOULD NOT CAUSE MUCH
IN THE WAY OF FLOOD PROBLEMS (OTHER THAN NUISANCE PONDING)...BUT
WILL SET THE STAGE FOR TOMORROW. BASED ON SREF AND EXTRAPOLATION
OF THE CURRENT RADAR...FOCUS OF THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL (OVERNIGHT) WILL
BE THIS EVENING (00Z- 03Z).

AS SUGGESTED BY ALL GUIDANCE...RAINFALL TAPERS OFF BY MIDNIGHT
INTO SATURDAY MORNING.

LOW LEVEL JET AND PWAT MAX SUGGEST FOCUS OF THE EVENING PCPN IS
LONG ISLAND AND CONNECTICUT.

TEMPS OVERNIGHT ARE STEADY.

DID NOT INCLUDE TSTMS AS INSTABILITY APPEARS TO REMAIN OFFSHORE.

COASTAL WINDS VEER TO SOUTHERLY AS WARM FRONT SLIDES TO ITS
CLIMATOLOGICALLY FAVORED POSITION ALONG THE CT COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
ALL INDICATIONS ARE THAT SFC LOW TRACKS WEST OF NYC IN THE LATE
AFTERNOON. HPC FEELS GFS IS TOO FAST...BUT BASED ON CURRENT
OBSERVATIONAL TRENDS...FEEL GFS IS GOOD. THINKING THAT THE BULK OF
THE ACTION OCCURS DURING THE 16-20Z TIME PERIOD WHEN SURFACE LOW
IS DEEPENING AND DYNAMIC AND WEND FIELDS ARE THE STRONGEST.

PROFILES AGAIN SUPPORT ELEVATED CONVECTION WITH DEEP NARROW CAPE.
THERE A HECK OF AN INVERSION THAT IS PRESENT IN THE BOUNDARY
LAYER...THUS NOT THINKING OF SEVERE. SEE SPC DAY TWO OUTLOOK
(SWODY2) FOR MORE DETAILS.

LOW LEVEL JET AND PWATS APPEAR TO AGAIN FOCUS THE HEAVIEST
RAINFALL TO THE EAST OVER LONG ISLAND/CT WHERE HAVE FORECASTED 1.5
INCHES. NEGATIVE TILT TO THE UPPER TROUGH IS IMPRESSIVE. SEE
HYDROLOGY SECTION FOR DETAILS ON FLOODING.

PRECIP TAPERS OFF QUICKLY SAT EVENING. NW HILLS COULD SEE A FEW
FLAKES AT THE END...BUT NOTHING OF ANY SIGNIFICANCE IS EXPECT.

BIG STORY WILL BE THE WINDS IN THE WAKE OF THE SYSTEM. CAA SHOULD
ALLOW FOR ADVISORY LEVEL GUSTS. (WILL NOT ISSUE THE ADVISORY UNTIL
TOMORROW TO GET THE FOCUS ON THE RAIN FOR NOW AND THEN THE WINDS
TOMORROW NIGHT).

WITH SATURATED GROUND...EXPECT THE ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS (GUST 50) TO
DOWN SOME TREES AND RESULT IN SOME POWER OUTAGES. UTILITIES CREWS
WILL LIKELY NEED TO BE ON CALL SATURDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SEVERAL SHORTWAVE TROUGHS EMBEDDED IN THE LONG WAVE PATTERN OVER THE
EASTERN THIRD OF THE CONUS WILL AFFECT THE AREA THROUGH THE MIDWEEK
PERIOD. LUCKILY...IT LOOKS LIKE WELL GET A BREAK FROM THE HEAVY
PRECIP FOR THE TIME BEING.

THE FIRST TWO TO MOVE THROUGH MON AND MON NIGHT APPEAR TO HAVE
LIMITED MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THEM...SO ONLY EXPECT AN INCREASE
IN CLOUD COVER. THE THIRD...A CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL DIVE ACROSS THE
GREAT LAKES REGION TUE EVENING AND THROUGH NEW ENGLAND TUE NIGHT/WED
MORNING. TEMPS SHOULD BE COLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT LIGHT SNOW
INLAND...A LIGHT RAIN/SNOW MIX AT THE COAST.

RIDGING AT THE SFC AND ALOFT RETURNS LATER WED AND WED
NIGHT...BEFORE A PHASED NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN STREAM BRING A
STRONGER FRONTAL SYSTEM TOWARDS THE AREA FOR THE LATTER PART OF THE
WEEK.

HIGHS WILL START OUT RIGHT AROUND NORMAL LEVELS WHILE LOWS ARE A BIT
BELOW...BUT WILL BECOME SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN NORMAL FROM MIDWEEK
ON.

&&

.AVIATION /05Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
WIDESPREAD IFR/LIFR CEILINGS...WITH LOCAL IFR VSBYS IN LIGHT RAIN.
HEAVIEST RAIN MOVES ACROSS EASTERN SECTIONS OVERNIGHT...AND
LINGERING INTERMITTENT LIGHT RAIN OR DRIZZLE ANTICIPATED OVERNIGHT
INTO THE MORNING HOURS. FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN OUR VICINITY RESULTING
IN WINDS ALL OVER THE PLACE. A GENERAL EAST WIND EXPECTED THROUGH
THE MORNING AS FIRST WEAK LOW DEPARTS AND NEXT LOW PRESSURE
APPROACHES. LOOKS LIKE YET ANOTHER ROUND OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN
ACROSS AREA TERMINALS LATE MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS THIS
LOW APPROACHES...THEN MOVES NORTH. COULD SEE A FEW TSTMS AS WELL.
IFR/LIFR ANTICIPATED THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY. WINDS EVENTUALLY
TURN TO THE SOUTHEAST AND GUSTS UP TO 20 KTS ANTICIPATED. LLWS
EXPECTED AS WELL AS LOW LEVEL JET OF 50 TO 60 DEVELOPS AHEAD OF
THE LOW.

THIS LOW AND COLD FRONT PASS EAST OF THE AREA BETWEEN 23Z-02Z
WEST TO EAST. RAIN WILL END AND CEILINGS IMPROVE TO MVFR...THEN
VFR. HOWEVER...WINDS SHIFT TO THE SW...THEN WEST DURING THE
EVENING HOURS...AND WILL BE QUITE STRONG. SUSTAINED WINDS OF 20 TO
30 KTS EXPECTED WITH GUSTS 35 TO 45 KTS.

OUTLOOK FOR 06Z SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
STRONG WEST WINDS ANTICIPATED WITH FREQUENT GUSTS INTO SUNDAY.
MAINLY VFR THROUGH TUESDAY. LOCAL SUB VFR CONDITIONS IN SCATTERED
SNOW SHOWERS WEDNESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM...SEAS AND WINDS ARE CURRENTLY NEAR SMALL CRAFT ON THE
OCEAN AND JUST BELOW ON THE SOUND. HAVE EXPANDED THE SCA TO THE
REST OF THE WATERS FOR THIS EVENING AS WINDS WILL TOUCH SCA LEVELS
IN THIS REGION. WINDS WILL DROP BELOW SCA LEVELS HERE IN THE
MORNING FOR A PERIOD BY THEN INCREASE BY MID DAY.

SEAS WILL BUILD GRADUALLY ON THE OCEAN TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY
AND THEN MORE RAPIDLY ON SATURDAY NIGHT. HAVE FORECASTED 6-8 FT IN
THE EASTERN SOUND BY SUNDAY AM AND THIS MAY BE TOO LOW WITH A 250
DEGREE DIRECTION...WINDS WILL HAVE THE ENTIRE SOUND FOR A FETCH.

LONG TERM...STRONG GALE CONDITIONS CONTINUE SUN MORNING...BUT WILL GRADUALLY
DIMINISH TO SMALL CRAFT SUN NIGHT AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES
WITH LOW PRESSURE MOVING INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES AND HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE WEST. SEAS MAY REMAIN ABOVE SCA LEVELS
INTO MON MORNING...ESPECIALLY ON THE EASTERN OCEAN ZONE.

GRADIENT TIGHTENS AGAIN MON NIGHT WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
SOUTHEAST AND LOW PRESSURE DIVING DOWN FROM CENTRAL CANADA. GUSTS
WILL BE NEAR SCA LEVELS ON THE OCEAN THROUGH TUE NIGHT AS THE
CLIPPER MOVES ACROSS NEW ENGLAND.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
STARTING TO OBSERVE RAIN WITH FIRST ROUND OF STORM. THE RAINFALL
LOOKS TO COME IN TWO SHOTS...WITH THE FIRST SHOT AFFECTING AREA
THIS EVENING...AND ANOTHER SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THE STORM IS
EXPECTED TO PRODUCT 2 TO 2 1/2 INCHES OF RAINFALL WITH LOCALLY
HIGHER AMOUNTS OF UP TO 4 INCHES IN A 24 HOUR PERIOD.

THE FIRST SHOT OF RAINFALL SHOULD PRODUCE UP TO ONE INCH OF
RAIN...RESULTING IN MINOR FLOODING ACROSS THE AREA. THE SECOND SHOT
OF RAIN LOOKS TO BE MORE SIGNIFICANT WITH 1 1/2 TO 2 INCHES WITH
SOME LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY IF THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOP ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

THE COMBINATION OF SATURATED SOILS AND THE SECOND SHOT OF MODERATE
TO HEAVY RAINFALL WILL LIKELY PRODUCE FLOODING OF AREA RIVERS AND
STREAMS...AS WELL POOR DRAINAGE AND URBAN AREAS SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
A FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE REGION.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
WHILE TIDES WILL BE SOMEWHAT ENHANCED FROM EASTERLY AND THEN
SOUTHERLY FLOW...EXPECT AT MOST MINOR COASTAL FLOODING ON THE
OCEAN. NO STATEMENTS ARE PLANNED HERE.

WILL DRIVE THE WATER OUT AND LOW WATER PROBLEMS MAY BE AN ISSUE
AS TIDAL DEPARTURES RUN 2 TO 3 FEET BELOW NORMAL SATURDAY NIGHT
INTO SUNDAY.
