AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
414 PM EDT FRI APR 3 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH THIS EVENING AS STRONG LOW PRESSURE
MOVES INTO NORTHERN NEW YORK. THE LOW HEADS EAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND
AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST. ANOTHER STORM APPROACHES
THEN FROM THE WEST...LIKELY AFFECTING THE REGION DURING THE FIRST
PART OF THE NEXT WORK WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE CWA THIS EVENING WITH SOME COLD AIR
ADVECTION AND GUSTY WINDS BEHIND IT. CHC POPS THIS EVENING WITH
STILL A THREAT OF A RUMBLE OF THUNDER...THEN SOMEWHAT LOWER POPS
DURING THE OVERNIGHT AS UPPER LOW/SHORTWAVE APPROACHES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AFTER COLLABORATION WITH SURROUNDING OFFICES...HAVE DECIDED TO GO
WITH WIND ADVISORY FOR ALL ZONES SAT MORNING THROUGH EVENING...WITH
MOST LIKELY CHANCES OF ADVISORY CRITERIA GUSTS IN THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING HOURS. MAY EVEN REACH CRITERIA ON SUSTAINED WINDS FOR SOME
SPOTS DURING THE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. CHC POPS FOR SHOWERS AS
COLD POOL AND ENERGY ALOFT MOVE THROUGH. HIGHS MOSTLY IN THE
50S...WITH A READING OR TWO UP TO 60 WITH GOOD DOWNSLOPING.

WINDS DIMINISH THROUGH SAT NIGHT WITH DRY CONDITIONS. DRY WEATHER
CONTINUES ON SUNDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS AT THE SURFACE AND
ALOFT. HIGHS ON SUNDAY A COUPLE DEGREES WARMER THAN ON SATURDAY IN
SPITE OF LIMITED MIXING FROM SUBSIDENCE.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
TROUGH DIGGING OVER THE WEST TODAY WILL BE OUR NEXT CONCERN EARLY
NEXT WEEK. EC AND GFS SIMILAR WITH THE SFC FEATURES THROUGH 00Z TUE
WITH THE SYSTEM CLOSING OFF WHILE TRACKING EAST ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
SFC LOW EXITING THE OHIO VALLEY MON MORNING IS FORECAST TO REDEVELOP
NEAR THE DELMARVA PENINSULA LATER IN THE DAY AND SLOWLY TRACK
NORTHWARD INTO NEW ENGLAND WHILE DEEPENING THROUGH TUE. DIFFERENCES
COME INTO PLAY BETWEEN THE EC AND GFS BY TUE MORNING WITH JUST HOW
FAST THE STORM LIFTS OUT OF THE NORTHEAST. HIGH PRESSURE MOVING
ACROSS THE NUNAVUT CANADIAN PROVINCE WILL BLOCK THE LOW FROM
ADVANCING...HOWEVER NOT BUYING HOW THE GFS RETROGRADES THE LOW INTO
THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES AND KEEPING IT SUPPRESSED OVER NEW ENGLAND
INTO THU.

WHILE THIS STORM IS STILL THREE DAYS AWAY...IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO
PRODUCE BETWEEN 1 AND 2 INCHES OF RAIN.

DEEP CYCLONIC FLOW TUE WITH COLD FROPA SHOWERS PRIMARILY IN THE
MORNING...HOWEVER SFC TROUGH MOVING THROUGH IN THE AFTN COULD
TRIGGER SOME SCT SHOWERS. OTHERWISE...WINDY DURING THE
DAY...DIMINISHING AT NIGHT. CYCLONIC FLOW CONTINUES WED WITH A
SHORTWAVE LIFTING ACROSS THE AREA WHICH AGAIN COULD TRIGGER SOME
SHOWERS.

RIDGING THEN BUILDS IN FOR THE END OF THE WEEK...WITH THE NEXT STORM
SYSTEM APPROACHING FOR THE WEEKEND. LARGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 00Z
EC AND 12Z GFS...HOWEVER THE 12Z EC HAS JUST ARRIVED AND IS TRENDING
MORE LIKE THE SUPPRESSED GFS WITH THE LOW TRACKING OFF THE MID
ATLANTIC COAST. HAVE FOLLOWED HPC GUIDANCE FOR THE TIME BEING...BUT
POPS MAY NEED TO BE REDUCED IF THIS TREND CONTINUES.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
IFR TO VLIFR CIGS/VSBYS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING. LINE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY MOVING INTO KNYC TERMINALS AND
WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK NORTHEAST. LINE WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN...AND
SHOULD BE THROUGH KNYC TERMINALS BY 20Z...THEN WILL BE THROUGH
EASTERN TERMINALS BY 22Z. MAIN ISSUES WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL
BE HEAVY RAIN AND LIGHTNING. LOOKING UPSTREAM...WINDS HAVE ONLY
GUSTED TO AROUND 25 KT...SO WILL EXPECT 25-30 KT WIND GUSTS WITH
ANY STORMS.

ONCE THIS LINE GOES THROUGH THE REGION...THINGS MAY BEGIN TO
SETTLE DOWN. THERE IS STILL A CHANCE FOR MORE THUNDER LATER THIS
EVENING AS COLD FRONT TRACKS THROUGH WITH LOW PRES TRACKING
NORTHEAST INTO EASTERN CANADA.

WINDS SHIFT FROM THE EAST-SOUTHEAST TO MORE OF A SOUTHWEST-WEST
FLOW. CIGS/VSBYS WILL IMPROVE TO MVFR...THEN TO VFR BY 03-05Z.
STRONG AND GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS OF 20-30 KT EXPECTED OVERNIGHT AS
GRADIENT TIGHTENS OVER THE AREA. WINDS INCREASE SAT MORNING WITH
