AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
338 PM EDT WED AUG 15 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
THE STORMY WEATHER WILL WIND DOWN BY THURSDAY MORNING AS A FRONTAL
BOUNDARY TRACKS THROUGH THE REGION. ANOTHER FRONT WILL IMPACT THE
AREA LATE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE WILL THEN
ATTEMPT TO ORGANIZE OFFSHORE INTO THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 PM THIS EVENING/...
UPR LVL TROF WILL CONTINUE TO ROTATE THRU THE CWA THIS EVE. THIS
WILL DRIVE SHRTWV ENERGY INTO THE REGION...SUPPORTING THE
CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT OF SHRA/TSTMS.

SCT TSTMS ONGOING ACROSS THE CWA AT 330 PM. CAPE PER 19Z LAPS WAS
IN THE 1-2K RANGE WITH A FEW HIGHER POCKETS. THE SVR THREAT
WILL THEREFORE REMAIN INTO THE EVE...ESPECIALLY AS THE UPR LVL
WAVE ASSISTS WITH LIFT. BEST POTENTIAL MAY BE ACROSS THE HUDSON
VALLEY WHERE THE AIRMASS HAS NOT BEEN WORKED OVER YET...BUT ALL OF
THE CWA REMAINS IN THE THREAT AREA.

MAIN SVR THREATS CONTINUE TO BE DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL. LOW PROB
WEAK TOR THREAT WITH ANY SIGNIFICANT CELLS INVOF BOUNDARIES.

HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT IN THE ATMOSPHERE WILL PRODUCE TORRENTIAL
RAINS IN TSTMS...WITH AREAS OF LOCALIZED FLOODING AGAIN
POSSIBLE...IF NOT LIKELY...THRU THIS EVE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /8 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE H5 TROF AXIS IS PROGGED TO PASS AFT 6Z. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR
ANY SIGNIFICANT CONVECTION TO END FROM W TO E OVERNIGHT INTO THE
EARLY MRNG HOURS. ALTHOUGH ANY TSTM WILL BE CAPABLE OF HVY
RAIN...THE TORRENTIAL RAIN THREAT SHOULD SUBSIDE THRU THE NGT AS
THE DEEP MOISTURE AXIS IS SHUNTED OFFSHORE.

PATCHY FOG WAS RETAINED WITH LLVL MOISTURE AND LIGHT WINDS IN
PLACE.

THE NAM IS A BIT FASTER WITH THE SFC FRONT THAN THE GFS. PREFERRED
THE FASTER GFS DUE TO THE RESOLUTION OF THE UPR LVL WAVE...BUT IF
THE NAM VERIFIES A FEW TSTMS COULD DEVELOP...ESPECIALLY ACROSS LI
AND ERN CT...BEFORE 15Z THU. OTHERWISE...SUNNY SKIES CAN BE
EXPECTED BY AFTN. TEMPS A BLEND OF THE MAV/MET.

MAINLY CLEAR THU NGT WITH TEMPS A BLEND OF GUIDANCE. SOME PATCHY
GROUND FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE OUTLYING LOCATIONS.

COLD FRONT APPROACHES ON FRI. TRIMMED POPS BACK TO LATE IN THE DAY
AS THE MODELS APPEAR TO BE CONVERGING ON A LATER SOLN. TEMPS WARM
INTO THE LOW 90S ACROSS THE CITY AND NERN NJ.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD OVER THE
AREA FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES CLOSER AND
HAS UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT FROM AN H5 TROUGH AND MID-LEVEL
SHORTWAVES.

THEREAFTER...LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST FOR THE WEEKEND AS THE MODELS
HAVE DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS. LOW PRES FORMS OVER THE DELMARVA SOMETIME
EARLY SATURDAY...THEN TRACKS NORTHEAST ALONG THE FRONT. THE GFS
BRINGS THE FRONT THROUGH THE REGION MUCH QUICKER THAN THE ECMWF...
AND KEEPS THE LOW EAST OF THE REGION. THE ECMWF BRINGS THE LOW OVER
THE AREA DURING THE DAY SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. PRECIPITATION
WOULD THEN LINGER INTO SUNDAY AS H5 TROUGH FOLLOWS THROUGH THE
REGION. WILL CARRY CHANCE POPS FOR MOST OF THE WEEKEND...BUT THIS IS
SUBJECT TO ADJUSTMENTS.

LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IS POSSIBLE WITH PWATS AROUND 2" STARTING ON
FRIDAY.

HIGH PRES BEGINS TO BUILD INTO THE REGION STARTING ON SUNDAY. PRECIP
TAPERS OFF FROM WEST TO EAST...THOUGH A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS AND
POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH MONDAY AS UPPER TROUGH
AND H5 SHORTWAVES TRACK ACROSS THE REGION. DRY WEATHER EXPECTED BY
FRIDAY WITH HIGH PRES BUILDING EAST.

SOUTHERLY FLOW ON FRIDAY WILL PUSH TEMPS INTO THE MID-UPPER 80S AND
MAY COME CLOSE TO 90 IN/AROUND NYC. OTHERWISE...HIGHS WILL BE IN THE
UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S DURING THE PERIOD...WHICH IS RIGHT AROUND
NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE AREA TODAY. WEAK
LOW PRESSURE WILL SLOWLY LIFT NORTHEAST TOWARDS NYC TODAY AND THEN
PASS OVER OR JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA TONIGHT.

LOW CONFIDENCE WIND FORECAST...ESPECIALLY LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT. EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS SHOULD BECOME SOUTHERLY EARLY
THIS AFTERNOON...THEN EVENTUALLY SHIFT TO THE NORTHEAST LATER THIS
EVENING. WINDS HOWEVER COULD SHIFT TO ANY DIRECTION WITH MULTIPLE
SURFACE BOUNDARIES AROUND THE REGION AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING
ALONG THEM.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE CITY /KLGA AND
KJFK/ AND LONG ISLAND...WITH ADDITIONAL STORMS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE
INTO THIS EVENING. OUTSIDE OF THESE STORMS...VFR CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED...HOWEVER CONDITIONS IN THE STORMS COULD FALL TO IFR OR
BELOW.

THE BEST TIMING OF STORMS AFFECTING THE LOCAL TERMINALS WILL BE
UNTIL 22Z ACROSS WESTERN TERMINALS AND 00Z AT EASTERN TERMINALS.
SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY MAY LINGER BEYOND THIS TIME FRAME AS THE LOW
AND UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SLOWLY PASSES THROUGH BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW
ATTM SO HAVE ONLY KEPT -SHRA IN THE FORECAST.

PATCHY MVFR FOG IS POSSIBLE OUTSIDE OF NYC TERMINALS LATE
TONIGHT.
