...A FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 545 PM EDT FOR
ORANGE COUNTY...

AT 421 PM EDT...THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO TRAIN OVER THE REGION. 
TRAINED WEATHER SPOTTERS HAVE REPORTED BETWEEN 3 AND 3 1/2 INCHES OF 
RAINFALL FROM THIS ACTIVITY. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE IN THE 
WARNED AREA FROM ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE FLOODING OF SMALL
CREEKS AND STREAMS...HIGHWAYS AND UNDERPASSES. ADDITIONALLY...COUNTRY
ROADS AND FARMLANDS ALONG THE BANKS OF CREEKS...STREAMS AND OTHER LOW
LYING AREAS ARE SUBJECT TO FLOODING.

MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.

A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 700 PM EDT
TUESDAY EVENING FOR SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT AND NORTHEAST NEW JERSEY AND

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
1222 PM EDT TUE JUN 30 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH SATURDAY AS LOW PRESSURE
SLOWLY SPINS EAST FROM THE GREAT LAKES REGION.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR NORTHERN NJ...THE
LOWER HUDSON VALLEY AND FAIRFIELD COUNTY IN CT. THE WATCH DOES NOT
INCLUDE NYC AT THIS TIME...BUT MAY BE EXPANDED DEPENDING ON HOW
CONVECTION DEVELOPES. INHIBITING FACTORS ARE THE MARINE INFLUENCE
NEAR THE COAST AND BETTER THERMODYNAMICS NORTH AND WEST OF NYC.

MOST SIGNIFICANT THREAT WITH SEVERE STORMS IS LARGE HAIL...ALTHOUGH
THIS MORNINGS SOUNDINGS SUGGEST DAMAGING WINDS ALSO POSSIBLE.

UPDATED SHORT TERM PRODUCTS TO INCLUDE THE WATCH. NO OTHER
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
UNSETTLED WEATHER CONTINUES THROUGH THE SHORT TERM PERIOD.

STRONG CLOSED UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE TO SPIN OVER THE EASTERN GREAT
LAKES/SOUTHERN ONTARIO...WITH A SERIES OF SHORT WAVES ROTATING
AROUND THIS LOW THROUGH THIS PERIOD. EACH SHORT WAVE WILL INDUCE
SURFACE TROUGHS AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE WAVES TO ROTATE UP THROUGH
THE REGION. THE COMBINED FOCUS...FORCING AND INSTABILITY WILL BRING
ROUNDS OF SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND TSTMS...MAINLY DIURNALLY
FORCED.

ANY ORGANIZED CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY SHOULD WEAKEN TUESDAY EVENING WITH
LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. THERE SHOULD HOWEVER BE A CONTINUES THREAT
OF SHOWER ACTIVITY WITH AN INCREASING LEFT FRONT JET. IN
ADDITION...WITH MARGINAL ELEVATED INSTABILITY AND FORCING...CANT
RULE OUT ANY EMBEDDED THUNDER. SOME MODELS HINTING AT SOME MARINE
STRATUS/FOG WITH LIGHT ONSHORE FLOW.

A SLIGHT EASTWARD SHIFT IN UPPER TROUGHING AND SURFACE TROUGHING ON
WEDNESDAY IS EXPECTED AS THE LOW MOVES EASTWARD. THIS WOULD SLIDE
THE BEST MOISTURE/FORCING AXIS FOR SHOWERS AND TSTMS A BIT FURTHER
EAST ACROSS CONN. HIGHER POPS CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS NORTHERN
SECTIONS. DEPENDING ON HEATING...A FEW STRONGER STORMS MAY BE
POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

WITH SURFACE/UPPER TROUGHING OVER THE REGION....DEEP SW FLOW...AND
COLD POOL INSTABILITY CANT RULE OUT ISOLATED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY OVER THE REGION. BETTER CHANCE OF MARINE STRATUS/FOG
POSSIBLE ALONG THE COAST.

MORE OF THE SAME IS EXPECTED ON THURSDAY...AS YET ANOTHER ROUND OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVE THROUGH. EXACT PLACEMENT AND
INTENSITY GETS A BIT MORE UNCERTAIN WITH DIFFERENCES IN POSITION OF
THE UPPER LOW AND TIMING OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY.

TEMPS NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW SEASONABLE WED/THURS.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
CLOSED UPPER LOW REMAINS OVER THE NORTHEAST THROUGH FRIDAY BEFORE
OPENING AND MOVING OUT OF THE REGION ON SATURDAY. A SERIES OF WEAK
SHORT WAVES AND WEAK COLD FRONTS/SURFACE TROUGHS WILL BRING A THREAT
OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. TIMING OF PRECIP IS DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE
AT THIS TIME...BUT THE PROBABILITIES ARE THAT THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING HOURS WILL HAVE A HIGHER OVERALL CHANCE OF RAINFALL. WILL
KEEP THE PERIOD UNDER GENERAL CHC POPS.

WILL GO MORE ALONG THE LINES OF THE ECMWF FOR SATURDAY AS IT HAS
BEEN DOING A BETTER OVERALL JOB WITH THE UPPER FEATURES IN THE LONG
TERM LATELY VS THE GFS. SOME RIDGING AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT
THEREFORE EXPECTED...AND LIKELY A DRY DAY. SLIGHT CHC POPS FOR
SUNDAY WITH A WEAK SHORT WAVE...THEN A BETTER CHANCE OF SHOWERS ON
MONDAY WITH A STRONGER SHORT WAVE MOVING IN.

TEMPS IN THE LONG TERM NEAR NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
GENERALLY VFR THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. ANY LINGERING MVFR
VISIBILITIES IN FOG WILL QUICKLY IMPROVE TO VFR.

DURING THE DAY A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL ENHANCE ANY SEA
BREEZE DEVELOPMENT...WITH COASTAL TERMINALS BECOMING SOUTHERLY
AROUND 15 KTS. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
DEVELOPING...MAINLY WEST OF THE NYC TERMINALS...MAINLY THIS
AFTERNOON. STORMS COULD CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING...SPREADING
EAST. SOME STORMS MAY CONTAIN GUSTY WINDS AND HAIL...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY.

SOME MVFR VISIBILITIES IN FOG AGAIN POSSIBLE AFTER 06Z AS WINDS
BECOME LIGHT...FROM THE SOUTHEAST. SOME STRATUS MAY ALSO DEVELOP
BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW.

OUTLOOK /12Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...GENERALLY VFR...THOUGH
SUB VFR POSSIBLE EACH DAY (BEST CHANCE AFTERNOON INTO EVENING) IN
SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. MVFR FOG POSSIBLE LATE
AT NIGHT TONIGHT AND AGAIN WEDNESDAY NIGHT. VFR SATURDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE AREA WATERS INTO
FRIDAY WITH A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE POSSIBLE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE TODAY THROUGH
FRIDAY. THE LOW IS EXPECTED TO MOVE TO THE NORTH AND EAST BY
SATURDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST...WITH DRY
WEATHER.

SUB ADVISORY WINDS AND SEAS WILL REMAIN THROUGH SATURDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE TUES THRU THURS. WITH
PRECIPITABLE WATER CONTENTS BETWEEN 1.25 AND 1.50 INCHES...ANY
SHOWERS OR TSTMS THAT DEVELOP COULD BRIEFLY PRODUCE HOURLY RAINFALL
RATES APPROACHING 1 INCH. BASED ON MID LVL WINDS...STORM SPEEDS
SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO KEEP FLASH FLOOD THREAT LOW.

&&
