AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
409 PM EDT WED AUG 5 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL PRODUCE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS INTO THIS EVENING
AS IT MOVES THROUGH. WEAK LOW PRESSURE WILL THEN PASS JUST TO THE
SOUTH OF THE AREA ALONG THE SLOW-MOVING FRONT THURSDAY AND THURSDAY
NIGHT. CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION FOR FRIDAY
INTO SATURDAY MORNING. DISTURBANCES MOVING ALONG AN APPROACHING WARM
FRONT MAY BRING UNSETTLED WEATHER LATER IN THE WEEKEND AND EARLY
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS FORMING ALONG A COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE
NYC METRO AREA AND ALONG SEA BREEZE BOUNDARIES SHOULD CONTINUE INTO
THIS EVENING...WITH HELP OF RIGHT REAR QUADRANT OF UPPER JET STREAK
OVER NORTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA AND APPROACHING MID LEVEL VORT FROM
THE WEST. WITH MLCAPE 1000-1500 J/KG AND DCAPE NEAR 1000 J/KG THERE
COULD BE A FEW PULSE SEVERE STORMS...BUT AN ORGANIZED SEVERE THREAT
IS UNLIKELY. INDIVIDUAL CELLS HAVE RAINFALL RATES OF 1-2 INCHES/HOUR
AND SO WILL ALSO HAVE TO BE MONITORED FOR ANY FLOODING IMPACTS...
ESPECIALLY WITH THE RELATIVELY SLOW FORWARD MOTION OF THE
CURRENT CELLS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
FCST MODELS ARE GIVING MORE CREDENCE TO OPEN FRONTAL WAVE PASSING S
OF THE AREA ON THU...SO HAVE EXPANDED CHANCE POP TO NYC METRO...LONG
ISLAND AND THE IMMEDIATE SOUTH COAST OF CT. EXPECT SKIES TO CLOUD
OVER DURING THE MORNING...WITH SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY EMBEDDED THUNDER
MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS FCST SOUNDINGS SHOW SOME
ELEVATED CAPE. HIGHS WILL BE ONLY IN THE MID/UPPER 70S...PERHAPS
LOWER 80S WELL INLAND WHERE THERE MAY BE MORE SUNSHINE...FOLLOWED BY
LOWS THU NIGHT IN THE UPPER 50S AND 60S AS COOLER AIR FILTERS DOWN
FROM THE INTERIOR.

WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA ON FRI...WITH BELOW NORMAL
TEMPS AS H8 TEMPS NEAR 10-11C SUPPORT MAXES A COUPLE OF DEGREES
EITHER SIDE OF 80. WITH SIMILAR H10-8 THICKNESSES AND SOME CLOUDS
MOVING IN FROM THE WEST VIA UPPER JET STREAK/MID LEVEL VORT ON BACK
SIDE OF DEPARTING UPPER TROUGH...LOWS FRI NIGHT SHOULD BE SIMILAR TO
THOSE OF THU NIGHT...EXCEPT OVER INTERIOR SOUTHERN CT AND THE LONG
ISLAND PINE BARRENS WHERE THERE COULD BE SOME MID 50S.

SATURDAY LOOKS TO START OFF ALL RIGHT...BUT WITH NW FLOW ALOFT AND
WARM FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE SW MAY HAVE TO WATCH FOR IMPACT FROM
POTENTIAL UPSTREAM MCS BY AFTERNOON. AS A RESULT NYC METRO CARRIES
CHANCE POP...WITH ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE FARTHER NORTH/EAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
FOLLOWED HPC PRELIM GUIDANCE FOR THIS TIME FRAME...WHICH BRINGS
HEAT/HUMIDITY BACK INTO THE AREA AND HEAT INDICES POSSIBLY REACHING
95 IN NYC ON MON...THEN A RELATIVELY DRY COLD FROPA LATER TUE AND
NEAR NORMAL TEMPS ON WED. THE 05/12Z ECMWF INTRODUCES UNCERTAINTY AS
TO WHEN OR EVEN IF THE FRONT ACTUALLY MAKES IT THROUGH...HOLDING OFF
INSTEAD UNTIL TUE. IF THE LATTER SCENARIO PLAYS OUT...WOULD HAVE TO
HOLD ON TO CHANCE POP MON-TUE FOR ANY POSSIBLE MCS COMPLEXES
TRAVELING ALONG THE WARM FRONT/PERIPHERY OF THE HEAT RIDGE TO
THE SOUTH.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
SCATTERED SHOWERS WITH ISOLATED THUNDER NOW FORMING ALONG COLD
FRONT AND SEA BREEZE BOUNDARIES. FEEL THAT COVERAGE OF TSTMS NOT
HIGH ENOUGH TO HAVE A TEMPO TSRA IN TAFS...BUT FEEL THAT MOST
LIKELY TIME PERIOD FOR A THUNDERSTORM WOULD OCCUR IN THE 21Z-
23Z TIME FRAME FOR THE CITY TERMINALS WITH THE COLD FRONT...WITH
SHRA POSSIBILITY STARTING ABOUT AN HOUR EARLIER.

MVFR IN SHOWERS...OTHERWISE VFR PREVAILING...MODERATE TO HIGH
CONFIDENCE IN THIS. NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE IN SHRA ON THURSDAY TO
INCLUDE IN TAFS AT THIS TIME.

MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN WIND FORECAST THROUGH THE REST OF
AFTERNOON...THEN MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE THEREAFTER.

OUTLOOK FOR 18Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
THU PM: VFR PROBABLE. LOW CHC TSTMS.
FRI: VFR.
SAT: VFR. SUB VFR AND TSTMS POSSIBLE PM.
SUN: VFR PROBABLE. LOW CHC OF TSTM.
MON: VFR PROBABLE. LOW CHC OF TSTM.

&&

.MARINE...
CONDITIONS BELOW SCA THRESHOLDS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE PERIOD. A
COLD FRONT WILL PUSH ACROSS THE AREA WATERS THIS EVENING THROUGH
TONIGHT. A WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS ACROSS THE WATERS THU
MORNING....FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER LOW FRI MORNING.

SHOWERS AND TSTMS WILL DEVELOP ON THE WATERS THIS EVENING...AND
WILL BE CAPABLE OF WIND GUSTS OVER 35 KT AND HEAVY RAIN. TSTMS TAPER
OFF BY MIDNIGHT. ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS/TSTMS POSSIBLE THU
AFTERNOON.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
SCATTERED TSTMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON HAVE HAD RAINFALL RATES OF 1-2
INCHES/HOUR...AND WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED FOR LOCALIZED/URBAN
FLOODING IMPACTS...ESPECIALLY WITH THE RELATIVELY SLOW FORWARD
MOTION OF THE CURRENT CELLS. THERE IS ALSO A SMALL POTENTIAL FOR
FLOODING ISSUES THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH WARM FRONT
TO THE SOUTH AND POSSIBLE MCS ACTIVITY RIDING ALONG IT.

&&
