AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
1231 AM EST SUN DEC 25 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OFF THE NORTHEAST COAST TONIGHT. A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM PASSES NORTH OF THE REGION CHRISTMAS DAY WITH AN ASSOCIATED
COLD FRONT CROSSING THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE MOVES
THROUGH THE REGION MONDAY...WHILE A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL
IMPACT THE REGION MID WEEK. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN ONCE AGAIN
BEHIND THE LOW...WITH THE NEXT LOW POSSIBLE AT THE END OF THE
WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
ADJUSTED TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS IN THE NEAR TERM BASED ON
LATEST OBS AND TRENDS. MODELS SUGGEST THAT 950-850 MB MOISTURE
INCREASES DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...SO TEMPERATURES WOULD THEN
RISE A FEW DEGREES OVERNIGHT WITH SKIES BECOMING AT LEAST PARTLY
CLOUDY. MOISTURE IN ROUGHLY THE SAME LEVELS ADVECTS IN FROM THE
WEST DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...SO THINKING IS THAT WE END UP
PARTLY CLOUDY IN MOST LOCATIONS...BUT SOME NORTHERN AND FAR
EASTERN ZONES COULD END UP MOSTLY CLOUDY AT TIMES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
SURFACE TROUGH APPROACHES DURING THE DAY ON SUNDAY WITH AN
INCREASING SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW. THIS SOUTHWESTERLY LOW WILL RESULT IN
SOME WARM AIR ADVECTION. ALSO...CLOUDS WILL INCREASE DURING THE DAY
WITH A STRONG UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE EXITS THE GREAT LAKES REGION AND
APPROACHING TRI-STATE AREA. THE WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL REMAIN FAR
WEST FOR A MOSTLY DRY SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO CLIMB
INTO THE 40S.

SUNDAY NIGHT WILL FEATURE MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND A CHANCE OF RAIN
OR SNOW SHOWERS AS A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM PASSES NORTH OF THE
REGION...AND ITS ASSOCIATED UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE PASSES OVER THE
AREA. THE BEST CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE ACROSS THE
INTERIOR...WHILE ANY RAIN SHOWERS WILL BE ACROSS COASTAL LOCATIONS.
A COLD FRONT WILL ALSO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION WITH COLD AIR
ADVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT. THE CAA WILL RESULT IN A GUSTY NW FLOW.
OVERNIGHT LOWS FALL INTO THE UPPER 20S AND 30S.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
MODELS BEGIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT FOR THE COMING WEEK. THE LOW PRESSURE
DRAGGING THE FRONT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT WILL QUICKLY PROGRESS OFF TO
THE EAST MONDAY...ALLOWING FOR HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD IN THE WAKE.
THE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE SHOULD PASS THROUGH BY 12Z MONDAY...WITH
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BUILDING OVER THE NORTHEAST AS WELL. HAVE KEPT
POPS OUT AFTER 12Z TO ACCOUNT FOR THE CLEARING...THOUGH A LINGERING
SHOWER MAY BE POSSIBLE THROUGH 14Z. THE MAIN CONCERN FOR MONDAY WILL
BE THE INCREASING WINDS. THE LOWER LEVEL JET GREATLY STRENGTHENS
OVER THE REGION FOR THE FIRST PART OF MONDAY...WITH WINDS FROM THE
NORTHWEST BETWEEN 40 AND 50 KTS. THIS JET PUSHES OUT BY MONDAY
NIGHT. TRANSLATING DOWN TO THE SURFACE...EXPECT WINDS BETWEEN 10 AND
20 KTS. THE HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES IN MONDAY NIGHT...WEAKENING THE
WINDS AND CLEARING THE SKIES. WITH CLEARING SKIES...TEMPS SHOULD
INCREASE INTO THE MID 40S FOR THE AFTERNOON...AND DOWN INTO THE 20S
TO LOWER 30S MONDAY NIGHT. CHOSE A BLEND WITH PREVIOUS TEMPS WITH
MOS GUIDANCE.

THE HIGH PUSHES OFF TO THE EAST MONDAY NIGHT...WITH A LOW PRESSURE
MOVING THROUGH SOUTHERN CANADA DRAGGING A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE
GREAT LAKES REGION. THE MODELS BEGIN TO DIVERGE AT THIS POINT. WHILE
ALL BRING IN PRECIP BY TUESDAY MORNING AND SPREAD IT TO THE EAST
DURING THE DAY TUESDAY...THERE IS A DISAGREEMENT ON HOW IT HAPPENS.
THE GFS KEEPS TWO...DISTINCT LOWS MOVING THROUGH TUESDAY INTO
WED...ONE OVER CANADA...AND THE SECOND FORMING OVER THE MID ATLANTIC
REGION. THE ECMWF CONNECTS THE LOW OVER SOUTHERN CANADA WITH A MUCH
STRONGER LOW FORMING OVER THE DELMARVA REGION. FOR ONCE...THE ECMWF
ACTUALLY BRINGS THE LOW UP THROUGH THE NORTHEAST THEN OVERNIGHT
TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. BECAUSE OF SUCH DIFFERENCES...INITIALLY WENT
WITH GFS STRENGTH...BUT ECMWF TIMING...THEN TRENDED MORE TO A
ECMWF/HPC GUIDANCE MIX FOR THE REST OF THE PERIOD. CONTINUED POPS
THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH THE MAIN SHORTWAVE
ENERGY PUSHING THROUGH BETWEEN 06Z AND 12Z WED. WITH TEMPS DROPPING
BELOW FREEZING OVER A GOOD PORTION OF THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY...AND
INTERIOR CT...HAVE ALSO CONTINUED THE MENTION OF SNOW IN THESE
AREAS...WITH EVERY ELSE REMAINING RAIN. ONE OTHER THING TO NOTE IS
THE LOWER LEVEL JET INCREASING GREATLY ONCE AGAIN LATE TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY. THE NAM IS QUICKEST...BRINGING THROUGH THE STRONGEST
WINDS ON TUESDAY. SLOWED DOWN THE TIMING OF THE LLJ A BIT MORE TO
THE ECMWF SPEED TO CORRESPOND WITH THE INCREASING WINDS ON WED.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. WITH A
GOOD PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE DEPARTING LOW AND THE APPROACHING
HIGH...CAN EXPECT WINDS BETWEEN 15 AND 20 KTS...GUSTING INTO THE 20S
DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY. AS THE HIGH SETTLES IN...WINDS WILL WEAKEN
WITH THE WEAKENING PRESSURE GRADIENT. THE NEXT AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
WILL IMPACT THE REGION LATE IN THE WEEK...WHILE THE UPPER LEVEL
