MALOIT

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
506 AM EDT TUE MAR 19 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A COASTAL LOW WILL PASS JUST SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND TODAY...THEN
MOVE FROM THE GULF OF MAINE TONIGHT INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES ON
WEDNESDAY. ANOTHER COASTAL LOW WILL DEVELOP OFF THE MID ATLANTIC
COAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AND TRACK WELL SOUTHEAST OF LONG ISLAND
THURSDAY AND WELL EAST OF CAPE COD THURSDAY NIGHT. WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN ON FRIDAY AND REMAIN THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS TO THE SOUTH EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
LOW PRESSURE IS NOW OFF THE SRN NJ COAST...AND LOOKS TO PASS JUST
S OF LONG ISLAND TODAY PER GREATEST 3-HRLY PRESSURE FALLS
CENTERED NEAR 40N 71W ATTM. MID LEVEL WARMING IS IN PROCESS OF
CHANGING P-TYPE TO EITHER RAIN OR FREEZING RAIN...WITH JUST A
SLIVER OF LIGHT SNOWFALL HANGING ON ATTM IN ORANGE COUNTY WHICH
SHOULD ALSO CHANGE TO FREEZING RAIN SHORTLY. LOW LEVEL WARMING
ON E FLOW HAS CHANGED PRECIP TO RAIN ALONG THE COAST AND IN NYC
METRO...SO MOST ADVYS WILL BE DROPPED THERE EXCEPT FOR WRN
BERGEN/E PASSAIC...WHERE SOME FREEZING RAIN MAY OCCUR AS TEMPS
HOVER AROUND FREEZING FOR A WHILE.

AS FOR THE INTERIOR...MOS CONTINUES TO BE TOO QUICK TO WARM
THINGS UP AND USED 04Z RAP 2M TEMPS THROUGH THE MORNING...KEEPING
SFC TEMPS AOB FREEZING WHICH ALONG WITH WARMING ALOFT POINTS TO
SEVERAL HRS OF FREEZING RAIN INTO THE MORNING. MANY LOWER HUDSON
VALLEY LOCATIONS HAVE ALREADY HAD UP TO 6 INCHES OF SNOW...WHILE
MOST OF SRN CT HAS SEEN 3-4 INCHES OF SNOWFALL. THIS SNOWFALL PLUS
1/10 TO 1/4 INCH OF ICE INTO THE MORNING COMMUTE JUSTIFIES KEEPING
WINTER STORM WARNINGS UP ACROSS THE INTERIOR BASED ON IMPACT.

PRECIP HAS BECOME MORE SPOTTY IN NATURE ATTM ACROSS FAR NW
SECTIONS...BUT SHOULD FILL IN AGAIN DURING THE MORNING AND EARLY
AFTERNOON AS A POTENT MID LEVEL VORT MAX ROUNDS THE BASE OF A
CLOSED LOW CENTERED OVER THE UPPER GREAT LAKES AND MOVES ACROSS
THE LOCAL AREA. AFTER THIS VORT PASSES...PRECIP SHOULD END AND
SKIES MAY BRIGHTEN DURING THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON ON A BRISK
DOWNSLOPE W FLOW ACROSS NYC METRO AND THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY.

FOR HIGH TEMPS...BLENDED MAV/MET WITH COLDER 04Z RAP 2M
TEMPS...WITH HIGHS ONLY NEAR 40 INLAND WHICH COULD STILL BE A
LITTLE GENEROUS ESPECIALLY ACROSS SRN CT...AND MID 40S FOR NYC
METRO AND LONG ISLAND.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
FAST W TO WSW FLOW ALOFT TONIGHT AND THURSDAY AS CLOSED LOW BUILDS
INTO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND...THEN SE CANADA. SHOULD BE DRY TONIGHT
AND THURSDAY WITH LITTLE IF ANY IN THE WAY OF FORCING - HOWEVER IF
UPPER TROUGH AXIS IS A TAD SLOWER IN PUSHING THROUGH THAN CURRENTLY
FORECAST COULD SEE SOME -SHSN ACROSS NORTHERN ZONES EARLY THIS
EVENING. FOR LOWS TONIGHT USED A BLEND OF MAV/MET GUIDANCE WITH
VALUES FORECAST TO BE A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. USED A BLEND OF
MAV/MET GUIDANCE WITH NAM 2-METER TEMPERATURES AND A MIX DOWN FROM
850 HPA NEAR THE IMMEDIATE COAST...800 HPA ACROSS FAR INTERIOR AREAS
AND 825 HPA IN BETWEEN. THIS YIELDS HIGHS AROUND 10 DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL.

A COASTAL LOW DEVELOPS OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN
RESPONSE TO A SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE MOVING OFFSHORE - THIS LOW
THEN MOVES WELL SE OF LONG ISLAND THURSDAY AND TO THE E OF CAPE COD
THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE NORTHERN STREAM CUTOFF LOW PIVOTS TO THE SE
INTO THE TRI-STATE. THE RESULT WILL BE CHANCE POPS COASTAL
AREAS/SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ELSEWHERE FOR LIGHT SNOW FROM LATE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY EVENING - EXCEPT OVER FAR NW ZONES
WHERE ONLY COULD SEE A FEW FLURRIES.

USED A BLEND OF MAV/MET GUIDANCE FOR LOWS WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH
VALUES FORECAST TO BE AROUND 5 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. USED A BLEND OF
MIXING DOWN FROM 850 HPA NEAR THE COAST...800 HPA WELL INLAND...AND
825 HPA IN BETWEEN...WITH A BLEND OF MAV/MET GUIDANCE...AND NAM AND
ECMWF 2-METER TEMPERATURES. THIS YIELDS VALUES 10-15 DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL. FOR LOWS THURSDAY NIGHT USED A BLEND OF MEX/MEX ENSEMBLE
MEAN/ECE/WPC GUIDANCE WITH VALUES AROUND 5 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.

NW FLOW ALOFT FRIDAY WITH UPPER LOW OVER N AND E NEW ENGLAND - COULD
GET ENOUGH FORCING OUT OUT OF A PASSING SHORTWAVE IN THE AFTERNOON
TO WARRANT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR -SHSN/-SHRA OVER FAR NW ZONES. FOR
HIGHS USED A BLEND OF MEX/MEX ENSEMBLE MEAN/ECE/WPC GUIDANCE WITH
VALUES AROUND 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
MODELS BEGINNING TO COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE HANDLING
AND TIMING OF HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE COMING WEEKEND...AND
THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM FOR NEXT MONDAY/TUESDAY.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS TO THE SOUTH OVER THE NORTHEAST SATURDAY INTO
SUNDAY UNDER A BROAD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. MULTIPLE SHORTWAVES
EXPECTED TO PASS THROUGH THE REGION WHILE ROTATING AROUND THE MAIN
UPPER LEVEL CLOSED LOW. DESPITE DECENT FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH EACH
PASSING WAVE...A PERSISTENT NORTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL KEEP A MAINLY
DRY VERTICAL COLUMN...RESULTING IN DRY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA.

WHILE THE 12Z/18 RUNS HAD MUCH HIGHER DISCREPANCIES IN THE HANDLING
OF THE NEXT LOW...THE 00Z/19 RUNS ARE STARTING TO COME INTO BETTER
ALIGNMENT BUT STILL WITH SOME DIFFERENCES. LOW PRESSURE FORMS OVER
THE CENTRAL STATES ON SUNDAY...PROGRESSING TO THE EAST TO BEGIN
THE WEEK. 00Z ECMWF ACTUALLY THE MORE PROGRESSIVE OF THE SOLUTIONS...
WITH THE GFS LAGGING BEHIND WHILE DEVELOPING A SECONDARY LOW. THE
GFS THEN KEEPS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW FROM OVER THE WEEKEND NEARLY
STATIONARY...ALLOWING FOR POSSIBLE INTERACTION WITH THE NEXT LOW
TRAVERSING THE CENTRAL US...RESULTING IN MORE WIDESPREAD PCPN.
HOWEVER...THE PATTERN OF THE ECMWF KEEPS THE TRAVERSING LOW TO THE
SOUTH...BUILDING IN SUBSIDENCE OVER MOST OF THE
NORTHEAST...KEEPING THE HEAVIEST PCPN TO THE SOUTH. BECAUSE OF THE
MODEL SPREAD...CONTINUED THE SLIGHT CHC POPS FOR MONDAY INTO
TUESDAY.

GENERALLY USED A BLEND OF THE WPC AND MOS GUIDANCE FOR TEMPS THIS
WEEKEND INTO NEXT WEEK...WHICH KEEPS HIGH TEMPS SLIGHTLY BELOW
NORMAL AND OVERNIGHT LOWS RIGHT AROUND TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK FROM THE DELMARVA TO JUST SOUTHEAST OF
NYC THIS MORNING. THE LOW PRESSURE MOVES INTO COASTAL NEW ENGLAND
THIS EVENING. INITIALLY EASTERLY GUSTS OF AROUND 20 KT WILL LOWER
AND WINDS OVERALL BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE THIS MORNING BEFORE
BECOMING MORE WESTERLY BY THE AFTERNOON...GUSTING 20-25 KT LATE.
THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY ON WHEN EXACTLY THE WINDS TURN MORE
WESTERLY AND THE TIMING COULD BE OFF BY 1-2 HOURS.

ICING MAINLY RESTRICTED TO KSWF WHERE SNOW WILL BE CHANGING TO
SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN THIS MORNING. ELSEWHERE...THE PRECIP TYPE
IS RAIN. ALL PRECIP BECOMES DRIZZLE LATER THIS MORNING...LINGERING
INTO THE AFTERNOON. MAINLY MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS WITH SOME POCKETS
OF LIFR WITH NO SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT EXPECTED UNTIL WINDS
BECOME MORE WESTERLY AND START GUSTING LATE IN THE AFTERNOON
GENERALLY AFTER 20Z. POSSIBLE VLIFR POSSIBLE IN FOG THIS MORNING
WHEN LOW IS WITHIN CLOSEST PROXIMITY OF THE TERMINALS. VFR RETURNS
BY THE EVENING WITH WEST WINDS GUSTING TO 25-30 KT.

.MARINE...
WILL MAINTAIN GALE WARNING THROUGH 6 AM OVER ALL WATERS - STILL
GUSTS TO GALE FORCE ONGOING BUT SHOULD TAPER OFF OVER THE NEXT 2-3
HOURS. MIGHT NEED TO EXTEND OVER FAR EASTERN OCEAN ZONE - BUT WILL
DECIDE CLOSER TO 6 AM.

FOR REMAINDER OF TODAY - WINDS SUBSIDE TO MAINLY SMALL CRAFT - WITH
SOME SUB-SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS ON MORE PROTECTED WATERS. GALES THEN
RETURN FOR TONIGHT ON ALL WATERS WITH GALE GUSTS CONTINUING ON
WEDNESDAY OVER EASTERN COASTAL OCEAN WATERS WITH SMALL CRAFT
CONDITIONS ELSEWHERE.

THE PRESSURE GRADIENT CONTINUES TO RELAX OVER THE REGION WEDNESDAY
NIGHT...WITH ALL WATERS FALLING BELOW SCA LEVELS AFTER MIDNIGHT..AND
CONTINUE ON THURSDAY.

WIND GUSTS ON THE COASTAL OCEAN WATERS COULD REACH 25 KT THURSDAY
NIGHT IN THE WAKE OF THE DEPARTING...BUT STRENGTHENING COASTAL
LOW...WITH SUB-SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS ON THE REMAINDER OF THE WATERS.

FRIDAY WILL FEATURE SUB-SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS ON ALL WATERS AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES...EXCEPT FOR POSSIBLY SWELLS BRING SCA
SEAS TO THE TWO EASTERN COASTAL WATER ZONES.

GENERALLY EXPECTING SUB-SCA CONDITIONS THIS WEEKEND WITH HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE REGION. A BRIEF PERIOD OF INTERACTION
BETWEEN THE DEPARTING LOW AND APPROACHING HIGH FRI NIGHT COULD
INCREASE WINDS ENOUGH FROM THE NORTHWEST...COMBINED WITH COLD AIR
ADVECTION TO PRODUCE 25 KT GUSTS AND 5 FT SEAS ON THE OCEAN.
CONDITIONS THEN WILL DIMINISH BY SATURDAY.

POSSIBLE SCA CONDITIONS AGAIN NEXT MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH THE NEXT
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM.

.HYDROLOGY...
LIQUID EQUIVALENT STORM TOTAL QPF OF 1.00-1.25 INCHES EXPECTED.

SHOULD NOT CAUSE MUCH IN THE WAY OF PROBLEMS.
