Area forecast discussion, Jan 7, 4:03 PM EST, 30 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
403 PM EST FRI JAN 7 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST OF THE AREA TONIGHT. ANOTHER LOW WILL
PASS EAST OF THE REGION OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC ON SATURDAY.
HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS IN FROM THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK...FOLLOWED BY A POSSIBLE COASTAL STORM TOWARDS THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
INTERESTING SCENARIO STILL ONGOING AS STRONG LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE
BETWEEN APPROACHING FRONT/MID LEVEL VORT AND OFFSHORE LOW...PLUS
CONVECTIVE FEEDER BAND FROM THE SE AND UPSLOPE FLOW...HAVE ALL
CONVERGED ON SW CT AND BROUGHT OVER 6 INCHES OF SNOW TO PARTS OF
FAIRFIELD COUNTY. EXPECT MUCH THE SAME OVER MUCH OF NEW HAVEN COUNTY
LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING...WITH LESSER AMOUNTS TO THE
EAST AS BANDING WEAKENS. MEANWHILE...JUST TO THE SOUTH ACROSS
CENTRAL LONG ISLAND...ISOLATED LOW TOPPED TSTMS...SOME WITH LOW
LEVEL ROTATION...DEVELOPED ALONG THE CONVERGENCE LINE JUST S OF THE
OFFICE...QUITE RARE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR AND MORE TYPICAL OF MID
SUMMER!
SNOW HAS CLEARED NYC METRO AND WEST OF THE HUDSON...SO THOSE AREAS
WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE ADVY. MAIN BAND OF MODERATE/HEAVY SNOW
STILL HAS YET TO TRAVERSE ERN CT...SO ADVYS WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT
THERE FOR MUCH OF TONIGHT. LONG ISLAND WILL HAVE TROUBLE MEETING
ADVY CRITERIA DUE TO A WARMER BOUNDARY LAYER MAKING FOR LOWER SNOW
RATIOS...IN FACT PRECIP HAS BEEN MIXING WITH OR CHANGING TO
RAIN/SLEET ON/OFF AS MID LEVELS TEMPORARILY DRY OUT BETWEEN
BANDS...SHUTTING OFF SEEDER/FEEDER ICE NUCLEATION...BUT WILL KEEP
ADVY GOING THERE WITH ONE LAST BAND MOVING INTO SUFFOLK COUNTY.
SNOW SHOULD GRADUALLY END FROM WEST-EAST FROM NOW INTO THE HOURS
AROUND OR SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT VIA SUBSIDENCE IN THE WAKE OF THE
MID LEVEL VORT. EXPECT LOWS TONIGHT IN THE 20S MOST PLACES...AND
UPPER TEENS WELL NORTH/WEST...AS CAA COMMENCES UNDER PARTLY/MOSTLY
CLOUDY SKIES.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH STRONG CLOSED UPPER LOW OVER THE
EASTERN GREAT LAKES SAT MORNING...TRACKING TO JUST EAST OF THE CWA
BY SAT EVENING. THEN THINGS GET INTERESTING AS A 140 KT UPPER JET
AND VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE ROUND THE BASE OF THE UPPER LOW INDUCING
SECONDARY DEVELOPMENT OF THIS THE UPPER LOW TO THE S AND E OF THE
AREA. THIS SAME ENERGY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF
LOW PRESSURE WELL EAST OFF THE DELMARVA COAST AT THIS TIME. THE
QUESTION HOW FAR NORTH AN INVERTED TROUGH SLIDING UP THROUGH
SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL NJ GETS...AND HOW QUICKLY IT DISSIPATES...AND
HOW CLOSE TO THE COAST THE OFFSHORE LOW INTENSIFICATION TAKES PLACE.
MODEL CONSENSUS APPEARS TO BE THE LOW TRACKING JUST SE OF THE 40/70
BENCHMARK SAT EVENING...AND THEN QUICKLY TRACKING NE SAT NIGHT...TO
THE EAST OF THE CANADIAN MARITIMES BY SUNDAY.
THE COMBINED MID-LEVEL INSTABILITY/LIFT OF THE UPPER LOW...INVERTED
TROUGH LIFTING NE FROM CENTRAL JERSEY...AND WRAP AROUND MOISTURE
FROM THE DEEPENING SURFACE LOW SHOULD HAVE SCT TO NUMEROUS SNOW
SHOWER DEVELOPING ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION SAT AFTERNOON. IF THE
INVERTED TROUGH SLIDES FAR ENOUGH NORTH SAT AFTERNOON...COULD SEE A
PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW ACROSS NYC AND NE NJ. SAT EVENING THE EVENT
TRANSITIONS TO COASTAL LOW DEVELOPMENT WITH THE LONGEST DURATION AND
INTENSITY OF SNOW EXPECTED TO BE ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA
CLOSEST TO THE SURFACE LOW. ALSO INCREASING INDICATIONS THAT THE
EASTERN 1/3RD OF THE REGION MAY BE AFFECTED BY A PERIOD OF HEAVIER
DEFORMATION BANDING SAT NIGHT. CURRENTLY APPEARS THERE IS POTENTIAL
FOR ADVISORY LEVEL SNOWS ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN LI AND SE CONN
BY SUNDAY MORNING (2 TO 4 INCHES). FURTHER WEST ACROSS ACROSS NYC
AND POINTS NW...GENERALLY LOOKING AT AN INCH OR LESS AS THIS REGION
WILL LIKELY BE IN THE TRANSITION ZONE BETWEEN THE INVERTED TROUGH TO
THE SOUTH AND DEVELOPING LOW TO THE EAST. SINCE THIS IS A 3RD PERIOD
EVENT AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE ANOTHER SUITE OF MODEL RUNS WILL HOLD
OFF ON ANY HEADLINES AT THIS TIME. A SHIFT TO THE NORTHEAST OR
SOUTHWEST OF LOW PRESSURE OR INVERTED TROUGH WOULD RESULT IN
DRAMATICALLY HIGHER/LOWER SNOW TOTALS RESPECTIVELY...SO PLEASE
MONITOR FOR THE LATEST UPDATES.
THE OTHER FACTOR WITH THIS SCENARIO WILL BE DEVELOPING STRONG NW
WINDS LATE SAT THRU SUN...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE
CWA. WINDS ARE LIKELY TO INCREASE TO 15 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS INTO THE
MID 30S TO AROUND 40S MPH...HIGHEST EAST. BUT DEPENDING ON HOW
RAPIDLY THE LOW INTENSIFIES AND HOW CLOSE IT TRACKS...THERE IS A LOW
END POTENTIAL FOR WIND ADVISORY WINDS ACROSS THE TWIN FORKS AND
EXTREME SE CONN. THIS WOULD ALSO CAUSE BLOWING SNOW AND LOW
VISIBILITY ISSUES ACROSS EASTERN LI AND SE CONN IF THIS PANNED OUT.
WOULD EXPECT ANY SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY TO COME TO AN END BY SUNDAY
MORNING AS THE UPPER AND SURFACE LOW PRESSURE TRACK WELL NE OF THE
REGION. CAN'T RULE OUT A PERIOD OF SCT TO BKN STRATO CU AND EVEN A
FEW FLURRIES...PARTICULARLY NW ZONES...IN DEEP CYCLONIC FLOW AND
WITH TRAILING SHORTWAVE ROTATING THROUGH. THE MAIN STORY WILL BE
GUSTY WINDS...WITH MAX WINDS GUSTS LIKELY CONTINUING IN THE 35 TO 40
MPH RANGE.
BELOW NORMAL HIGHS EXPECTED SATURDAY...IN THE UPPER 20S TO LOW 30S
ACROSS THE REGION. LOWS SATURDAY NIGHT AGAIN RANGE FROM THE TEENS
OVER INTERIOR SECTIONS TO THE LOW 20S NEAR THE COAST.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
GUSTY WINDS CONTINUE TO DIMINISH SUNDAY NIGHT BEHIND A DEPARTING LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM. BEHIND THIS STORM...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRIEFLY
BUILD OVER THE REGION ON MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT
THEN ALL EYES TURN TO A POTENTIAL COASTAL STORM FOR TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY. THE LATEST 12Z GFS/ECMWF REMAIN OFFSHORE...HOWEVER ITS
ENSEMBLE RUNS KEEP THE LOW CLOSER TO THE 40-70 BENCHMARK. EITHER
WAY...WE COULD COULD BE LOOKING AT A SIGNIFICANT SNOW STORM FOR THE
CWA. WILL NOT BE MAKING MUCH CHANGE TO THE FORECAST DUE TO THE
LIKELIHOOD OF THE MODELS UNDERGOING SEVERAL CHANGES BETWEEN NOW AND
THEN. WILL CONTINUE TO CARRY CHANCE POPS TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE COLD ENOUGH FOR PRECIPITATION TO FALL AS SNOW.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD BACK INTO THE REGION ON THURSDAY...AS THE
LOW DEPARTS TO THE NORTHWEST.
&&
.AVIATION /21Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SNOW IS TAPERING OFF OVER THE KNYC TERMINALS...AND IMPROVEMENT TO
MVFR...THEN VFR...WILL OCCUR OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. BANDS
OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW ARE NOW EAST OF KNYC...SO THE EASTERN
TERMINALS WILL BE UNDER MVFR TO IFR THROUGH THE REST OF THE
AFTERNOON. KGON WILL NOT GET TO THE LOWER CIGS/VSBYS UNTIL THIS
EVENING.
OTHERWISE...VFR TONIGHT WITH LIGHT WINDS. N WINDS INCREASE SAT
MORNING. SUB-VFR POSSIBLE LATE SAT WITH ANOTHER WAVE OF SNOW.

SHOWERS. GUSTY NW WINDS DEVELOPING SAT NIGHT.
SUN...VFR. NW WINDS GUSTING 25-30 KT.
MON...VFR.
TUE-WED...POSSIBLE COASTAL STORM WITH SUB-VFR CONDITIONS IN SNOW.
&&
.MARINE...
NO FLAGS FOR TONIGHT. EASTERLY FLOW WITH OCNL GUSTS UP TO 25 KT
CONTINUES ON THE EASTERN WATERS...WITH OCEAN SEAS UP TO 4 FT. A FEW
GUSTS ON THE OCEAN COULD ALSO APPROACH 25 KT OVERNIGHT AS A WEAK
FRONT CROSSES THE WATERS...AND TURNS LOW LEVEL FLOW W-NW IN ITS
WAKE.
SUB SCA CONDS ON SATURDAY WITH WEAK TROUGHING OVER THE
REGION...WILL LIKELY GIVE WAY TO A RAPID TIGHTENING OF THE
GRADIENT LATE SAT INTO SAT NIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE RAPIDLY DEEPENS
SE OF THE WATERS. THE RESULT MAY BE A RAPID INCREASE FROM SUB SCA
CONDS TO NW GALES SAT EVENING...PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE EASTERN
WATERS. STRONGEST WINDS EXPECTED SAT NIGHT INTO SUNDAY
MORNING...WEAKENING SLIGHTLY DURING THE DAY SUNDAY. OCEAN SEAS
SHOULD RESPOND ACCORDINGLY SAT NIGHT...POSSIBLY BUILDING TO THE 5
TO 9 FT RANGE. IF THE STORM TRACKS CLOSER TO THE COAST...WINDS AND
SEAS WOULD BE HIGHER THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST. WILL ISSUE GALE
WATCH FOR SAT NIGHT THRU SUN FORA ALL WATERS TO ADDRESS.
SCA CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED ON THE WATERS SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
MONDAY. THE FLOW LIGHTENS MON NIGHT INTO TUESDAY...WITH SUB-SCA
CONDITIONS EXPECTED. OUR NEXT FOCUS WILL BE ON A DEVELOPING COASTAL
LOW FOR LATE TUESDAY THRU WEDNESDAY TIME PERIOD. GALES POSSIBLE WILL
BE POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
SNOW WATER EQUIVALENT 1/3 TO 1/2 INCH WITH THE SYSTEM CURRENTLY
IMPACTING THE AREA WILL HAVE NO NEAR TERM HYDROLOGIC IMPACT.
NO HYDROLOGIC IMPACTS EXPECTED WITH SAT INTO SAT NIGHT
EVENT...WITH AND ADDITIONAL 1/4 TO 4/10TH OF AN INCH OF LIQUID
EQUIVALENT PRECIPITATION...ALL SNOW. THE NEXT SIGNIFICANT EVENT IS
POSSIBLE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WED.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
TIDAL DEPARTURES OF 2 TO 2 1/2 FT WILL BE NEEDED FOR MINOR COASTAL
FLOODING SAT NIGHT...DURING THE PEAK EFFECTS OF THE OFFSHORE COASTAL
SYSTEM. WITH STRONG NW FLOW...NOT EXPECTING WATER LEVELS TO REACH
MINOR COASTAL FLOODING THRESHOLDS...WITH CURRENTLY EXPECTED SURGE
GENERALLY OF AROUND 1 TO 1 1/2 FT.
FOR THOSE WITH COASTAL INTERESTS ALONG THE NORTH SHORE OF SUFFOLK
COUNTY...AND ADDITIVE EFFECT OF WAVES OF 2 TO 4 FT MAY CAUSE
ADDITIONAL BEACH EROSION.
