AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
138 PM EDT MON AUG 1 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK LOW PRESSURE TROUGH WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA TODAY...WHILE
A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST. THIS FRONT WILL CROSS
THE AREA TONIGHT...WITH A LOW PRESSURE TROUGH REMAINING IN ITS
WAKE ON TUESDAY. LOW PRESSURE PASSING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES
TUESDAY NIGHT WILL THEN PASS TO THE SOUTHWEST ON WEDNESDAY.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION THURSDAY AND THURSDAY
NIGHT...AND SLIDE EAST LATE ON FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN
ON SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
SURFACE TROUGH ACROSS THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY INTO CONNECTICUT
ALONG WITH 2000 TO 2500 J/KG CAPE VALUES PRODUCING THUNDERSTORMS.
HIGHER CAPE VALUES EXTEND ACROSS INTERIOR SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT
WITH TROUGH IN THE AREA. UPDATED FOR POPS ACROSS THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
SCT TSTM THREAT SHOULD SPREAD SE INTO LONG ISLAND AND SOUTHERN CT
TOWARD EVENING...WITH CONTINUED SVR THREAT AS NOTED ABOVE. STORMS
SHOULD DIMINISH IN COVERAGE/INTENSITY BY LATE EVENING AS SFC-
BASED INSTABILITY DIMINISHES. LOWS TONIGHT SHOULD RANGE FROM THE
LOWER 70S INVOF NYC...TO THE MID/UPPER 60S IN COASTAL
SECTIONS...TO THE LOWER 60S INLAND AS COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH
OVERNIGHT.

A WEAK LOW PRESSURE TROUGH SHOULD LINGER ON TUE IN THE WAKE OF THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE...WITH HIGH TEMPS AND DEWPOINTS ONLY SLIGHTLY
LOWER THAN THOSE EXPECTED FOR TODAY. A MID LEVEL CUTOFF LOW
DIVING SE FROM QUEBEC INTO NRN NEW ENGLAND SHOULD HELP SHARPEN
THIS SFC TROUGH ESPECIALLY OUT EAST...WHERE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE
MAY BE SUFFICIENT TO SPARK A FEW SHOWERS/TSTMS OVER SE CT AND
EASTERN LONG ISLAND. THIS REMAINS SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN AS NAM
FORECASTS MLCAPE 500 J/KG WHILE GFS INDICATES MORE MID LEVEL
SUBSIDENCE AND A CAPPING INVERSION GREATLY LIMITING INSTABILITY.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE UPPER AIR PATTERN FEATURES AN UPPER LOW OVER NORTHERN NEW
ENGLAND AT THE ONSET...WHICH LIFTS SLOWLY NE ACROSS THE CANADIAN
MARITIMES INTO NEXT WEEKEND. BROAD RIDGING ENCOMPASSING THE
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS THEN EXPANDS SLOWLY EAST FOR THE
LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK....WHILE AN UPPER TROF MOVES INTO EASTERN
CANADA BY NEXT WEEKEND.

AT THE SURFACE...WEAK LOW PRESSURE DRIVEN BY A SHORT WAVE DROPPING
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES TUE NIGHT WILL TRACK SE AND PASS TO THE SOUTH
OF THE AREA WEDNESDAY. MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE THERMAL
FORCING FROM THE SYSTEM PRODUCING AN MCS THAT TRACKS CLOSE TO THE
AREA LATE TUE NIGHT INTO WED. THE ECMWF...NAM WRF...AND SREF ALL
POINT TOWARD A SOLUTION THAT TAKES THE COMPLEX DIRECTLY OVER THE
FORECAST AREA...WHILE THE GFS STAYS FAR ENOUGH SOUTH TO THE KEEP THE
REGION DRY. THESE COMPLEXES ARE ALWAYS DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT THIS
FAR OUT IN TIME...THUS HAVE GONE WITH ONLY A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORM AT THIS TIME. THE TRACK OF THIS COMPLEX WILL ALSO
HAVE BIG IMPACT ON THE AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER AND TEMPERATURES. THE
GFS CLEARLY SUPPORTS THE WARMEST OF SOLUTIONS WITH ITS
SOUTHERNMOST TRACK. PREFERENCE AT THIS TIME WAS TO GO WITH A
NAM/GFS MOS BLEND FOR WED HIGHS...WHICH ARE SEVERAL DEGREES COOLER
THAN THE PREVIOUS FORECAST.

CONDITIONS DRY OUT BY WED NIGHT WITH DRY...SEASONABLE CONDITIONS TO
END THE WEEK. THE NEXT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL COME
ON SATURDAY ALONG AND AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING FRONTAL SYSTEM.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A WEAK COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON.

MAIN CONCERN THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL
WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING GUSTY WINDS AND HAIL. WILL GENERALLY
BE CARRYING CBS IN THE TAF...BUT EXPECTING TO AMEND TAFS AS STORMS
DEVELOP.

OTHERWISE...VFR WITH WEST OR NORTHWEST FLOW 5 TO 10 KT
WILL...LIKELY GIVE WAY TO AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE DEVELOPMENT AT
KJFK/KBDR/KGON AND ALSO KISP. ACROSS THE INTERIOR
TERMINALS...WINDS SHOULD BACK TO THE WEST THIS AFTERNOON. THIS
INCLUDES KHPN/KSWF/KEWR/KTEB/KLGA. EXPECTING THESE WINDS TO KEEP
SEA BREEZE SOUTH OF KLGA...BUT IT WILL BE CLOSE.

VFR THIS EVENING WITH WINDS TURNING W/NW UNDER 10 KT. PATCHY FOG
POSSIBLE FOR OUTLYING TERMINALS LATER TONIGHT.

TOMORROW...VFR CONTINUES WITH NORTHWEST FLOW.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS AND SEAS ON TRACK THIS MORNING.

SCATTERED TSTMS COULD POSE A WIND THREAT FROM LATE THIS AFTERNOON
INTO THIS EVENING...OTHERWISE QUIET THROUGH TUE.

A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX MAY MOVE ACROSS THE WATERS WED AND PRODUCE
LOCALLY HIGHER WINDS/SEAS. LOW PRESSURE PASSING TO THE SOUTH AND
EAST WED NIGHT INTO THU WILL PRODUCE AN EASTERLY FLOW...BUT AT
THIS TIME APPEARS WEAK ENOUGH TO KEEP WINDS AND SEAS BELOW SCA
CRITERIA.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
WITH PW INCREASING TO NEAR 1.5 INCHES...STRONGER TSTMS COULD
PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WITH MINOR URBAN/POOR DRAINAGE
FLOODING POSSIBLE LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING.

POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA
LATE TUE NIGHT INTO WED. WHILE THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY OF THE
TRACK OF THE SYSTEM...THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR A MODERATE
RAINFALL EVENT WITH AREAL QPF AT LEAST AN INCH.
