AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
411 AM EST WED FEB 20 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES...A SERIES OF
UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL MOVE ACROSS THROUGH THURSDAY
MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD FROM THE WEST THURSDAY
AFTERNOON AND NIGHT...AND RETREAT TO THE NORTHEAST ON FRIDAY AS A
FRONTAL SYSTEM SLOWLY APPROACHES FROM THE SOUTHWEST. A DEVELOPING
LOW OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST ON SATURDAY WILL PASS SOUTH OF LONG
ISLAND SATURDAY NIGHT WHILE DEEPENING...THEN PASS SOUTHEAST OF
CAPE COD AND FARTHER OUT TO SEA ON SUNDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
RETURN EARLY NEXT WEEK.

IMAGERY...ARE ALLOWING CLOUDS TO RETURN ACROSS THE INTERIOR ATTM.
LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY AND CYCLONIC FLOW...PLUS PASSAGE OF
ANOTHER MID LEVEL VORT MAX PINWHEELING AROUND AN UPPER LOW OVER
NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND...WILL ALLOW A BKN STRATOCU DECK TO
OVERSPREAD THE ENTIRE REGION BY LATE MORNING OR AFTERNOON...WITH
ISOLD SNOW SHOWERS POSSIBLE MAINLY OVER THE INTERIOR.
A BLUSTERY W-NW FLOW...GUSTING TO 35-40 MPH...WILL CONTINUE TO
USHER IN COLDER AIR...AND TEMPS TODAY ARE NOT LIKELY TO CHANGE
MUCH AS CAA COUNTERACTS DAYTIME HEATING...WITH LOWER AND MID 30S
EXPECTED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
A BLUSTERY W-NW FLOW SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH THU...GUSTING TO
30-40 MPH THIS EVENING AND AGAIN DURING THE DAY ON THU. SOME
PARTIAL CLEARING IS POSSIBLE THIS EVENING FROM NYC NORTH/WEST...BUT
CONTINUED LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY AND CYCLONIC FLOW...PLUS PASSAGE
OF ADDITIONAL MID LEVEL VORT MAXES...SHOULD MAKE IT AN OTHERWISE
MOSTLY CLOUDY NIGHT...WITH LOWS RANGING FROM THE MID TEENS WELL
INLAND...TO LOWER 20S IN NYC. WE SHOULD SEE ANOTHER CHANCE FOR
ISOLD-SCT SNOW SHOWERS MAINLY ACROSS THE INTERIOR THU MORNING AS A
VIGOROUS MID LEVEL VORT MAX SWINGS ACROSS. ONCE THIS VORT PASSES

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AFTER RIDGING AND SFC HIGH PRESSURE THU NIGHT INTO FRI...ACTIVE

LOW FORMS NEAR THE REGION. AT THE SFC...LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS OFF
MID-ATLANTIC COAST ON SATURDAY AND MOVES SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND
SATURDAY NIGHT WHILE DEEPENING...BEFORE MOVING EAST OUT TO SEA ON
SUNDAY.

PROLONGED PERIOD OF PRECIPITATION IS SHOWN MAINLY FROM SATURDAY
THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. THIS WILL BE A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW WITH
MORE RAIN AT THE COAST AND MORE SNOW INLAND. WIDESPREAD SIGNIFICANT
PRECIP WILL BE POSSIBLE FROM SATURDAY THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY BUT
UNCERTAINTY WITHIN MODELS AND BETWEEN RUNS WILL CAUSE VARIATIONS OF
AMOUNTS IN SUBSEQUENT FORECASTS.

DRIER WEATHER REEMERGES BY LATER SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH
RETURN OF HIGH PRESSURE.

TEMPS IN LONG TERM OVERALL NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
LOW PRESSURE OVER NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND WILL LIFT SLOWLY TO THE NORTH
AND EAST THE NEXT 24H...WHILE STRONG HIGH PRESSURE OVER CENTRAL
CANADA BUILDS SOUTH AND EAST. THIS WILL PRODUCE A TIGHT PRESSURE
GRADIENT ACROSS THE TERMINALS WITH GUSTY WEST WINDS.
