AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
404 AM EST SUN JAN 29 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE SITUATED OVER THE TRI STATE AREA TODAY. A COLD
FRONT PASSES THROUGH TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS ON MONDAY. A
WARM FRONT APPROACHES MONDAY NIGHT AND LIFTS NORTH OF US TUESDAY
MORNING. A COLD FRONT FOLLOWS WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
ADDITIONAL STORM SYSTEMS MAY AFFECT THE REGION LATE IN THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE KEEPS US DRY TODAY. PLENTY OF SUNSHINE...BUT ON
THE BREEZY SIDE. NAM/MAV MOS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH HIGHS
GENERALLY IN THE MID 40S...BUT THE WIND WILL MAKE IT FEEL COLDER.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
LONGWAVE TROUGH AXIS APPROACHES US TONIGHT WITH A VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE
MOVING ALONG ITS BASE. THIS SHORTWAVE IS PROGGED TO PASS RIGHT OVER
THE CWA TONIGHT. AN ACCOMPANYING COLD FRONT WILL ALSO BE MOVING
THROUGH THE REGION. HAVE GONE ABOVE GUIDANCE POPS AND WENT WITH A 30
PERCENT CHANCE OF PRECIP. WITH SUCH A VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE MOVING
THROUGH...INSTABILITY ALOFT WILL INCREASE WITH THE STRONG COLD
ADVECTION. MODELS SHOWING LAPSE RATES OF AROUND 8-9 C/KM IN THE
850-500MB LAYER PASSING THROUGH TONIGHT. ALTHOUGH MODELS DO NOT
NECESSARILY SHOW DEEP MOISTURE DURING THE TIME THAT THIS SYSTEM
MOVES THROUGH...THINKING IS THAT THIS INSTABILITY AND LIFT WILL BE
ABLE TO MAKE EFFICIENT USE OF THE AVAILABLE MOISTURE. 00Z SPC WRF
EVEN DEPICTS A BROKEN SQUALL LINE MOVING THROUGH THE REGION
TONIGHT...PICKING UP MOISTURE APPARENTLY FROM THE COASTAL WATERS
AS IT PASSES THROUGH. THERMAL PROFILES SUPPORT SNOW SHOWERS NORTH OF
THE CITY...AND A RAIN/SNOW SHOWER MIX FOR THE CITY/ADJACENT
SUBURBS AND LONG ISLAND. WHERE IT DOES REMAIN ALL SNOW...A LIGHT
COATING OF SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE. 30-35 MPH GUSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE
TO BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WITH THE STRONG COLD ADVECTION.

HIGH PRESSURE AND DRY WEATHER FOR MONDAY. MAV/NAM MOS BLEND LOOKED
GOOD AGAIN FOR TEMPS. A WARM FRONT THEN APPROACHES MONDAY
NIGHT...AND WITH THE NAM TYPICALLY BETTER AT HOLDING IN COLD AIR DUE
TO DAMMING...WILL GO WITH ITS IDEA THAT THE FRONT DOES NOT MOVE
NORTH OF US UNTIL TUESDAY MORNING. ISENTROPIC LIFT AHEAD OF THE
FRONT MAY PRODUCE SOME LIGHT SNOWFALL FOR PART OF THE CWA. KEPT IN
SLIGHT CHC POPS MONDAY NIGHT...BUT DRY OVER THE SW CORNER OF THE CWA
AS PER MODEL AGREEMENT. A NON DIURNAL TEMPERATURE TREND WAS
USED...CONSIDERING CLOUDS THICKENING THROUGH THE NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A MILD AND DRY DAY ANTICIPATED ON TUESDAY WITH A WARM FRONT LIFTING
TO THE NORTH. HIGHS REACHING THE MID 50S ACROSS THE WARMEST SPOTS. A
COLD FRONT THEN APPROACHES FROM THE WEST...BRINGING A CHANCE OF RAIN
SHOWERS LATE TUESDAY NIGHT. MODELS AGREE THAT THE FRONT MOVES
THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH A CONTINUED THREAT
OF SHOWERS.

MODELS CONTINUE TO DIVERGE REGARDING THE FORECAST FROM THURSDAY ON.
AFTER COLLABORATION WITH THE SURROUNDING OFFICES...HAVE MOSTLY LEFT
THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST ALONE. GENERALLY LEANING TOWARDS THE
IDEA DEPICTED BY HPC...WHERE WEAK LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE
WEST ON THURSDAY...THEN PASSES NEARBY THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY.
LONGWAVE TROUGHING OVER THE REGION WOULD THEN FOLLOW ON
SATURDAY...WITH A COLD FRONT OR LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM POTENTIALLY
AFFECTING THE AREA.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO OUR SOUTH TODAY...FOLLOWED BY A COLD
FRONT CROSSING THE REGION TONIGHT.

VFR THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. LOW END VFR CEILINGS POSSIBLE TOWARDS
THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD...ESPECIALLY KSWF.

WINDS SLACKENING A BIT...COULD SEE A PERIOD WITHOUT GUSTS EARLY THIS
MORNING...THEN GUSTS SHOULD RETURN TO ALL TERMINALS BY MID MORNING
IN THE 20-25 KT RANGE. WINDS SHOULD BACK FROM CURRENT W TO SW
MID-LATE AFTERNOON...WITH GUSTS DIMINISHING TO 15-20 KT. INLAND
TERMINALS COULD LOSE THEIR GUSTS THIS EVENING. WINDS SHOULD BECOME W
AT ALL BUT KGON LATE IN THE TAF PERIOD BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...AND
INCREASE WITH GUSTS TO 20-25 KT.

OUTLOOK FOR 06Z MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...

LATE SUNDAY NIGHT: LOW END VFR POSSIBLE WITH SCT -SHSN AND POSSIBLE
SNOW SQUALLS...ESPECIALLY NW NYC METRO. GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS TO
AROUND 30 KT.

MONDAY: VFR. GUSTY W WINDS.

MONDAY NIGHT-TUESDAY NIGHT: VFR...WITH SMALL CHANCE SUB-VFR LATE
TUESDAY NIGHT. GUSTY WINDS POSSIBLE TUESDAY AFTERNOON/NIGHT.

WEDNESDAY: SUB-VFR POSSIBLE. GUSTY WINDS POSSIBLE.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT-THURSDAY: VFR

THURSDAY NIGHT: MAINLY VFR...WITH SMALL CHANCE SUB-VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
WITH POTENTIAL FOR SCA WIND GUSTS ON AND OFF THROUGH THE DAY ON ALL
WATERS TODAY...HAVE EXPANDED THE SCA TO ENCOMPASS ALL WATERS.

IN THE WAKE OF A COLD FRONT CROSSING THE WATERS THIS EVENING...WINDS
VEER TO THE W...WITH GUSTS LIKELY REACHING GALE FORCE OVERNIGHT. AS
A RESULT HAVE ISSUED A GALE WATCH FOR ALL WATERS TONIGHT.

WIND GUSTS SHOULD DIMINISH TO SCA LEVELS BY MONDAY MORNING...EXCEPT
ON THE EASTERN TWO COASTAL OCEAN ZONES...WHERE GALES SHOULD COULD
LINGER THROUGH THE MORNING. SCA GUSTS COULD QUITE POSSIBLY CONTINUE
THROUGH THE DAY ON ALL WATERS MONDAY.

MONDAY NIGHT SHOULD SEE ALL BUT THE TWO EASTERN COASTAL OCEAN ZONES
HAVE CONDITIONS FALL BELOW SCA LEVELS. STILL COULD SEE SCA GUSTS AT
LEAST INTO THE EVENING IN THE EASTERN COASTAL WATERS...WITH FAR
EASTERN WATERS POSSIBLY MAINTAINING SCA LEVEL GUSTS AND SEAS THROUGH
THE NIGHT.

THE BATTLE IS THEN ON BETWEEN STRONG WINDS 950-850 HPA AND A LOW
LEVEL INVERSION TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY FOR NOW KEEP GUSTS TO AT MOST SCA
LEVELS...BUT POTENTIAL FOR GALES CANNOT BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT IN
THIS TIME FRAME.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN WEDNESDAY NIGHT-THURSDAY...SO SUB-SCA
CONDITIONS FORECAST.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ANY LIQUID EQUIVALENT PRECIPITATION THROUGH WEDNESDAY IS EXPECTED TO
BE ON THE LIGHT SIDE.

&&

.EQUIPMENT...
THE WEATHER OBSERVATION FROM CENTRAL PARK WILL BE UNAVAILABLE
UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. THIS IS DUE TO A SIGNIFICANT POWER
INTERRUPTION TO THE CENTRAL PARK AUTOMATED SURFACE OBSERVING
STATION (ASOS) AND BACKUP STATION. UTILITY WORKERS ARE ADDRESSING
THE PROBLEM...BUT THERE IS CURRENTLY NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RETURN
TO SERVICE.
