AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
659 PM EST WED DEC 19 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CROSS THE NORTHEAST TONIGHT THROUGH TOMORROW.
A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH THE EASTERN GREAT
LAKES REGION THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. THE LOW THEN SLOWLY
MOVES INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH HIGH
PRESSURE RETURNING THROUGH MONDAY. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE WAVE
APPROACHES LATE MONDAY NIGHT AND QUICKLY TRACKS EAST TUESDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE RETURNS BRIEFLY ON WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
DRY CONDITIONS IN STORE FOR THE AREA TONIGHT WITH SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING IN...AND AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE SHIFTING INTO THE
NORTHEAST. GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING...THEN
BEGIN GRADUALLY DECREASING WITH A WEAKENING PRESSURE GRADIENT AND
LLJ. GUSTS INTO THE EVENING WILL REMAIN IN THE 20S. SUBSIDENCE
BUILDS IN BEHIND THE DEPARTING SHORTWAVE...RESULTING IN CLEARING
SKIES. THIS...ALONG WITH THE DECREASING WINDS WILL AID IN
DEVELOPING DECENT RADIATIONAL COOLING...BRINGING TEMPS DOWN TO
NEAR NORMAL. ADJUSTING A BLEND OF THE MET/MAV GUIDANCE BY A COUPLE
DEGREES LOWER...ALL AREAS SHOULD SEE LOWS DROPPING BELOW
FREEZING...WITH THE NYC METRO AREA HOVERING RIGHT AROUND FREEZING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
CALM BEFORE THE STORM DURING THE THURSDAY...WITH THE UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE AXIS AND THE CENTER OF HIGH PRESSURE RIGHT OVER THE
NORTHEAST. THIS WILL CREATE MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND ALLOW TEMPS TO
WARM...ESP WITH INCREASING 850MB TEMPS. LIGHT WINDS SHIFT FROM THE
NORTH TO THE SOUTHEAST...WHICH WILL BEGIN INCREASING THE WARMER
TEMPS AND HIGHER DEW PTS. THE DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE
UNTIL LATE AFTERNOON.

NOW...FOR THE STORM. THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BE NOTED OVER
THE CENTRAL GL REGION MIDDAY THURSDAY...BRINGING A WARM FRONT NEAR
THE NORTHEAST. WEAK LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS AND A PASSING
SHORTWAVE ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE RIDGE COULD GENERATE SOME LATE
AFTERNOON LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS. THE LOW WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH TO THE
NORTHEAST LATE TOMORROW THROUGH FRIDAY BEFORE SETTING UP TO THE
NORTH LATE FRIDAY.

THE FIRST CONCERN WILL BE THE PCPN. WITH VERY STRONG WARM AIR
ADVECTION OUT AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING SYSTEM...TEMPERATURES ARE
EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING...RESULTING IN AN ALL RAIN
EVENT. THERE MAY BE A BRIEF PERIOD EARLY TOMORROW NIGHT IN HIGHER
ELEVATIONS OF THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY THAT MAY SEE TEMPS IN THE
MID 30S...BUT BUFKIT PROFILES INDICATE THE PCPN SHOULD REMAIN ALL
RAIN. PLEASE REFER TO THE HYDRO SECTION FOR MORE DETAILS. THE
HEAVIEST PCPN IS EXPECTED MOVE THROUGH BETWEEN 09Z AND 18Z
FRI...RIGHT AHEAD OF THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WITH THE LOW. WITH
THE STRONG LLWS...AND SOME WEAK INSTABILITY ALSO RIGHT AHEAD OF
THE FRONT...THERE POSSIBLY MAY BE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT. THE THREAT IS CURRENTLY WEAK WITH THE BETTER
FRONTOGENETIC FORCING EXPECTED TO THE WEST...BUT WE WILL CONTINUE
TO MONITOR. THE MAIN THREAT WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE BRIEF
HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND DAMAGING WINDS.

THE NEXT CONCERN WILL BE STRONG WINDS. A VERY STRONG LLJ SETS UP
OVER THE CWA BY FRI MORNING...WITH VALUES RANGING BETWEEN 65 AND
80 KTS AT 85OMB. WITH THE SURFACE LOW EXPECTED TO DEEPEN GREATLY
JUST WEST OF THE CWA...COULD SEE A PERIOD OF WINDS REACHING WIND
ADVISORY AROUND 12Z FRI MORNING. SUSTAINED WINDS COULD BE BETWEEN
25 TO 30 KTS...WITH GUSTS INTO THE 30S. THERE STILL REMAINS ON THE
CONSERVATIVE SIDE...AND WE COULD SEE IN FUTURE MODEL RUNS THE
WINDS INCREASE MORE. THE HIGHEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED ALONG LONG
ISLAND INTO THE NYC METRO AREA...WITH A POSSIBLE PERIOD LATE
FRIDAY MORNING INTO MID DAY WHEN THE LOW PASSES OVERHEAD. THEN
EXPECT WINDS TO INCREASE AGAIN IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT FOR
FRI AFTERNOON...THOUGH CURRENT THINKING IS THAT THESE WINDS WILL
NOT BE AS STRONG AS THE MORNING.

TEMPERATURES WILL HOVER A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR HIGHS
TOMORROW AND LOWS TOMORROW NIGHT...USING A GENERAL MET/MAV BLEND.
COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT COULD BE USHERED IN FAIRLY
QUICKLY WITH THE STRONG WESTERLY FLOW...HOWEVER DEPENDING ON THE
EXACT TIMING OF THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT AFFECT WHETHER DAY TIME
HIGHS CAN BE MET IN THE AFTERNOON...OR WE SEE GRADUALLY
DIMINISHING TEMPS BY THE AFTERNOON. CURRENT THINKING IS THE TEMPS
WILL RETURN TO NEAR NORMAL...WITH THE COLDER AIR EXPECTED THEN BY
FRI NIGHT. OVERALL...EXPECTING ALL AREAS TO REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING
GENERALLY DURING THIS PERIOD.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION EXITS THE REGION BY MIDNIGHT FRIDAY
NIGHT. SURFACE LOW ENDS UP IN UPSTATE NY AT THIS TIME WITH THE CUT
OFF UPPER LOW SPINNING JUST SW OF THE SURFACE LOW. ONLY MINOR
DIFFERENCES EXIST BETWEEN THE GLOBAL MODELS ON THE TIMING AND
PLACEMENT OF THIS SYSTEM. ON SATURDAY...BOTH THE UPPER AND SURFACE
LOWS TRACK NORTHEAST. WITH A STRONG UPPER LOW...MULTIPLE SHORTWAVES
ARE FORECAST TO ROTATE AROUND THE LOW ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.
BECAUSE OF THAT...HAVE KEPT CHANCE TO SLIGHT CHANCE POPS THROUGH
SATURDAY AND IN THE FAR NORTHWEST AND FAR SOUTHEAST AREAS ON SUNDAY.
MUCH COLDER AIR MOVES IN BEHIND THE COLD FRONT ON FRIDAY SO ANY
PRECIPITATION THAT FALLS SATURDAY MORNING WILL BE SNOW INLAND AND
RAIN/SNOW MIX ALONG THE COASTS. AS TEMPERATURES WARM DUE TO A SLIGHT
HEIGHT INCREASE ON SATURDAY...RAIN IS EXPECTED WITH ANY
PRECIPITATION THAT FALLS. MODELS SEEM TO BE ON THE DOWNWARD TREND
WITH TEMPERATURES SATURDAY SO IF THE TREND CONTINUES...SNOW OR A
RAIN/SNOW MIX MAY CONTINUE DURING THE DAY ON SATURDAY. ON
SUNDAY...THE AREAS NORTHWEST OF NYC MAY SEE LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS IF
ANY PRECIPITATION OCCURS.

WINDS STAY GUSTY SATURDAY MORNING INTO SATURDAY EVENING AS A
GRADIENT DEVELOPS BETWEEN THE LOW TO THE NORTH AND HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING FROM THE SOUTH. HELPING TO KEEP THE WINDS ELEVATED IS THE
DEVELOPMENT OF ANOTHER LOW LEVEL JET EVIDENT IN BOTH THE GFS AND
ECMWF WITH THE GFS COMING IN STRONGER...AROUND 55KTS AT 925. CURRENT
FORECAST IS FOR GUSTS TO PEAK IN THE AFTERNOON AROUND 30MPH.

WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BRIEFLY BUILDS IN ON MONDAY AS ANOTHER LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHES. GFS/CMC AND A FEW GEFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS
WERE SHOWING THIS ON THE 12Z RUNS AND THE ECMWF 12Z CAME IN AGREEING
WITH THIS. IT LOOKS LIKE THE LOW OFFSHORE OF THE PACIFIC NW EJECTS A
PIECE OF ENERGY INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST LATE SUNDAY NIGHT. THIS
ENERGY DIGS QUICKLY INTO THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY BY LATE MONDAY NIGHT.
IN RESPONSE...A LOW AT THE SURFACE FORMS AND WILL TRACK NEAR OR JUST
SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND ON TUESDAY MORNING...WITH THE GFS BEING THE
QUICKER SOLUTION. AT THIS TIME...THICKNESS AND SURFACE TEMPERATURES
SUPPORT SNOW FOR THE ENTIRE AREA IF THE BULK OF THE PRECIP FALLS
OVERNIGHT MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. IT IS A QUICK MOVING
SYSTEM AND DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT WILL PRODUCE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT
OF QPF. THIS WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED.

TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE WEEK WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN A FEW DEGREES
BELOW NORMAL. SATURDAY WILL BE THE WARMEST WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER
30S TO LOWER 40S. THEN SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY WILL HAVE HIGH
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER TO UPPER 30S. LOWS THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT
WILL REMAIN BELOW FREEZING FOR THE ENTIRE AREA.
