AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
120 PM EST WED FEB 18 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE OHIO VALLEY WILL TRACK NORTHEAST THIS
AFTERNOON...AND ITS WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH THROUGH THE AREA
THIS EVENING. AS THE STORM MOVES INTO EASTERN CANADA TONIGHT...IT
WILL DRAG A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA THURSDAY MORNING. HIGH
PRESSURE THEN BUILDS OVER THE MIDDLE OF THE NATION ON FRIDAY
BEFORE MOVING OFFSHORE ON SATURDAY. ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM COULD
AFFECT THE LOCAL AREA SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
LIGHT PCPN ACROSS EASTERN PA AND NE NJ WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA
THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS...BUT DUE TO A VERY DRY SUB CLOUD
LAYER..THIS WILL MAINLY BE IN THE FORM OF SPRINKLES AND/OR
FLURRIES.

A STRENGTHENING SLY FLOW AND A RETREATING SFC HIGH HAS ALLOWED
FOR A QUICK WARM UP THIS MORNING...WITH READINGS UP TO INTO THE
LOWER 40S ALONG THE COAST AND MIDDLE AND UPPER 30S INLAND BY 11
AM.

WITH MODELS ADVERTISING A PROGRESSIVELY WARMER BOUNDARY LAYER
AND STRONG LOW-LEVEL JET (50 KT)...THE STEADIER PCPN LATE THIS
AFTERNOON WILL BE MIXED WITH SNOW FOR A SHORT TIME TO THE NORTH
AND WEST OF NYC. THE BEST CHANCE FOR ANY ACCUMULATING SNOW WILL BE
ACROSS ORANGE AND PUTNAM COUNTIES WITH UP TO AN INCH...BUT
PRIMARILY ON GRASSY SURFACES.

DEEPENING LOW PRES OVER THE OHIO VALLEY WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK
NORTHEAST TODAY...SLOWLY DRAGGING A WARM FRONT NORTH ALONG THE
EASTERN SEABOARD AND THROUGH THE REGION THIS EVENING. PCPN WILL
BECOME WIDESPREAD AFTER 20Z.

HIGHS TODAY WILL TOP OFF IN THE UPPER 30S TO THE LOWER 40S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY/...
MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE CONTINUES TO WORK ITS WAY THROUGH THE REGION
FROM WEST TO EAST THIS EVENING. SFC COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY TRACK
THROUGH THE REGION AFTER MIDNIGHT AND SHOULD BE THROUGH NYC
SOMETIME AROUND DAYBREAK THU AND CLEARING EASTERN LI AND SE CT BY
MID MORNING. PRECIP WILL BE STEADY THROUGH AROUND MIDNIGHT BEFORE
GRADUALLY TAPERING OFF FROM WEST TO EAST.

UNSETTLED WEATHER CONTINUES ON THU WITH DEEP-LAYERED CYCLONIC
FLOW AND STRONG CAA. SEVERAL SHORTWAVES WILL ALSO ROTATE THROUGH
THE REGION...AND WILL HAVE SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS IN THE
FCST. THOUGH SOME SNOW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE NORTH AND WEST OF THE
CITY THU MORNING...BUT AFTERNOON...ANY SHOWERS SHOULD BE RAIN. IN
THE EVENING...TEMPS WILL BE COLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT LIGHT SNOW
SHOWERS THROUGHOUT.

A SECONDARY LOW OVER NORTHERN NY STATE WILL DEVELOP THU EVENING
AND WILL TRACK INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES THU NIGHT AS AN UPPER
LEVEL LOW MOVES THROUGH THE REGION. BEST CHANCES FOR ANY PRECIP
OVER THE AREA SHOULD BE IN THE EVENING...WITH ANY SHOWERS TAPERING
OFF AFTER MIDNIGHT. THIS WILL ALSO BRING A REINFORCING SHOT OF
COLD AIR TO THE REGION ON FRI.

AS LOW PRES MOVES THROUGH THE CANADIAN MARITIMES ON FRI...IT WILL
DEEPEN TO A 988 MB LOW (PER THE GFS). HIGH PRES WILL ALSO BUILD
THROUGH THE GULF COAST AND INTO THE SOUTHEAST U.S. THIS WILL
PRODUCE A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE NORTHEAST...AND WITH
STRONG CAA...WILL RESULT IN STRONG NW WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH WITH
GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH OVER THE AREA. THESE WINDS WILL BE JUST SHY OF
WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA (SUSTAINED WINDS 31-39 MPH OR GUSTS 46-57
MPH).

HIGHS ON FRI WILL TOP OFF IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S.

WINDS DIMINISH FRI NIGHT WITH LOSS OF DIURNAL HEATING AND AS THE
GRADIENT RELAXES. WINDS WILL STILL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO INHIBIT
RADIATIONAL COOLING...SO OVERNIGHT LOWS FRI NIGHT WILL BE A RESULT
OF THE COLD AIRMASS...AND LOWS WILL BE IN THE 20S.

HIGH PRES BUILDS SOUTH OF THE AREA ON SAT...RESULTING IN MAINLY
CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES WITH HIGHS AROUND 40.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
GFS AND EC IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH ABOUT 00Z SAT THEN THINGS
START TO DIVERGE. THE GFS BECOMES MORE PROGRESSIVE...BUT THE 12Z
EC HAS SUPPORT FROM THE 12Z GLOBAL CMC AND CHOSE TO LEAN MORE
TOWARDS THIS SOLUTION.

NEXT TROUGH DIVING OUT OF THE PLAINS WILL DIG INTO THE SOUTHEAST
WITH A SFC LOW ASSOCIATED WITH UPPER ENERGY CLOSER TO THE CORE
TRACKING ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AND INTO THE NORTHEAST. AT THIS
POINT THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS IS FURTHER EAST AND NOT AS AMPLIFIED
IN THE GFS THAN THE EC AND CMC. ANOTHER LOW WILL DEVELOP SOMEWHERE
OFF THE CAROLINA COAST...BUT THESE DIFFERENCES WILL MAKE THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHETHER THE TRI-STATE AREA WILL BE AFFECTED BY
THIS COASTAL STORM. WE COULD END UP HAVING TO DEAL WITH A BIG
STORM OR LITTLE TO NOTHING. DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY...HAVE DECIDED
TO RUN WITH LOW CHC POPS FROM SAT NIGHT (FROM THE PRIMARY LOW)
THROUGH MON NIGHT (TO ACCOUNT FOR THE COASTAL SYSTEM)...BUT IT
LIKELY WONT BE PRECIPITATING THROUGH THIS WHOLE TIME FRAME.
NONETHELESS...A LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST...BUT STAY TUNED.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
FIRST BAND OF PCPN TRACKING THRU THE CWA ATTM. MAINLY LGT WITH A
FEW MDT BURSTS AS EVIDENCED AT KEWR. EXPECT ANY MDT PCPN TO BE
SHORT LIVED TIL MAIN LIFT AND PCPN NOW OVER DE/MD WORKS INTO THE
REGION LATE THIS AFTN/EVE. SN ACCUMS MAINLY KSWF. SFC TEMPS
ELSEWHERE WARM ENOUGH FOR MELTING ON CONTACT. WINDS ABOUT 160
VEER AROUND 6Z AS SFC TROF SETS UP ACROSS THE REGION. NO LIFT AFT
6Z BUT LLVL MOISTURE TO PRODUCE VSBY RESTRICTIONS IN DZ/BR TIL
WINDS PICK UP THU MORNING AS SFC TROF TRACKS NWD.

MAINTAINED LLWS AS WINDS ALOFT INCREASE THIS EVE. LLWS ENDS AS MID
LVL TROF TRACKS EWD.

OUTLOOK FOR 18Z THU THROUGH SUN...
CIGS LIFT ABV MVFR THU AFTN WITH VFR THRU FRI. NW WINDS 15-25KT
WITH HIGHER GUSTS COAST. VFR SAT WITH LESS WIND. LOW PRES
APPROACHES SAT NIGHT INTO SUN. MVFR PROGGED ATTM WITH -SN. FCST
DEPENDS ON TRACK TIMING AND INTENSITY WHICH IS STILL UNCERTAIN.
VFR BEHIND THE SYSTEM LATE SUN THRU TUE.

&&

.MARINE...
SCA CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS ALL WATERS THIS
AFTERNOON AS LLJ WORKS OVER THE WATERS AHEAD OF STRENGTHENING LOW
PRESSURE TRACKING ENE INTO THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES AND ASSOCIATED
COLD FRONT WHIPPING TOWARDS THE WATERS. HIGHEST GUSTS WILL LIKELY
BE THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE INVERSION DEVELOPMENT...BUT WITH
STRONGEST GRADIENT WINDS THIS EVENING AS 50+ KT LLJ PASSES OVER
SHOULD SEE SCA WINDS ACROSS MOST OF THE WATERS THIS AFTERNOON INTO
TONIGHT. ROUGH SEAS DEVELOPING ON THE OCEAN IN RESPONSE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. POSSIBLY APPROACHING 10 FT. A
STRENGTHENING LOW-LEVEL INVERSION SHOULD KEEP GUSTS BELOW GALE ON
THE OCEAN THIS EVENING.

A LULL IN SCA WINDS EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT THRU THURS MORNING AS
LLJ PASSES EAST AND THEN COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH. OCEAN SEAS
REMAIN ROUGH THOUGH WITH SOUTHERLY AND E SWELLS. THEN SCA CONDS
LIKELY DEVELOPING ON ALL WATERS THURS AFTERNOON WITH TIGHTENING
GRADIENT AND CAA.

GRADIENT TIGHTENS FURTHER THURS NIGHT INTO FRI AS STRONG LOW
PRESSURE TRACKS ENE ACROSS NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND WITH SURGE OF
MODIFIED ARCTIC AIR IN ITS WAKE. WESTERLY GALES ARE LIKELY ON THE
OCEAN WITH STEEPENING LAPSE RATES...SO WILL PUT UP A GALE WATCH
DURING THIS PERIOD. SEAS WILL REMAIN ROUGH ON THE OCEAN AND LIKELY
BUILDING TO 4 TO 7 FT ON THE EASTERN SOUND. MARGINAL GALE CONDS
POSSIBLE ON THE REST OF THE WATERS...BUT WITH LESS CONFIDENCE WILL
HOLD OFF ON GALE WATCH.

WINDS WILL DIMINISH TO SCA LEVELS FRI NIGHT...THEN FALL BELOW SCA
LEVELS ON SAT. SEAS ON THE OCEAN MAY TAKE UNTIL SAT NIGHT TO FALL
BELOW ADVISORY LEVEL. DEPENDING ON THE TRACK...INTENSITY AND
TIMING OF A POTENTIAL COASTAL STORM SUN AND MON...ADDITIONAL FLAGS
MAY BE NEEDED.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
A STORM SYSTEM SHOULD PRODUCE BETWEEN 1/3 AND 1/2 INCH OF LIQUID
QPF LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT. SOME OF THIS WILL BE IN
THE FORM OF FROZEN PRECIPITATION...ESPECIALLY OVER ORANGE COUNTY
AND ACROSS THE INTERIOR. EVEN WITHOUT THAT...THE AMOUNTS ARE LIGHT
ENOUGH THAT NO SIGNIFICANT HYDROLOGIC IMPACT IS EXPECTED. THERE IS
ALSO THE POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER LIGHT TO MODERATE QPF EVENT FOR THE
LATTER PART OF THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
TIDAL DEPARTURES RUNNING ABOUT 3/4 TO 1 1/4 FT ABOVE NORMAL
ACROSS THE BATTERY AND SOUTH SHORE WATERS...LIKELY DUE TO ESE
SWELLS FROM AN INTENSE ATLANTIC LOW. BUT DONT SEE THESE COASTAL
AREAS REACHING THE 2 1/2 TO 3 FT POSITIVE TIDAL DEPARTURES NEEDED
FOR MINOR COASTAL FLOODING DURING THE HIGHEST HIGH TIDE TONIGHT.
TRENDS WILL HAVE TO MONITORED THROUGH THE DAY THOUGH...AS GUIDANCE
NOT HANDLING THIS WELL.

ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE STORM WOULD NEED 2 1/2 TO 3 FT NEGATIVE
DEPARTURES FOR LOW WATER PROBLEMS LATE THURS NIGHT AND FRI. THIS
IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION WITH STRONG SCA OR LOW END WESTERLY
GALES EXPECTED TO DEVELOP...BUT GUIDANCE CURRENTLY POINTS TOWARDS
LEVELS REMAINING ABOVE LOW WATER CRITERIA.
