AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
336 PM EDT SUN AUG 31 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A COUPLE OF SURFACE TROUGHS WILL BE IN THE REGION THROUGH MONDAY
EVENING. A WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT TUESDAY WILL GIVE WAY TO A COLD FRONT
MOVING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE
SOUTH AND WEST MID TO LATE IN THE WEEK. THE HIGH MOVES OFFSHORE
FRIDAY WITH ANOTHER COLD FRONT MOVING IN LATER ON NEXT SATURDAY AND
ACROSS THE AREA NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT WITH HIGH PRESSURE RETURNING
FROM THE WEST THEREAFTER.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
A SURFACE TROUGH REMAINS IN THE VICINITY WHILE MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE
ENERGY PASSES THROUGH. MLCAPES START MOSTLY IN THE 1000-2000 J/KG
RANGE THIS EVENING AND DIMINISH OVERNIGHT. SHOWERS LIKELY TONIGHT
WITH BETTER CHANCES OF POTENTIALLY STRONG THUNDERSTORMS THIS
EVENING. BULK SHEAR WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT ORGANIZED
CONVECTION. WBZ/FREEZING LEVEL HEIGHTS WILL BE ON THE HIGH SIDE...SO
THE MOST LIKELY THUNDERSTORM IMPACTS WOULD BE STRONG WIND GUSTS.

HEAVY DOWNPOURS WILL BE POSSIBLE TOO WITH PWATS AROUND 2
INCHES...AND BOTH MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND OMEGA INCREASING.
ADDITIONALLY...THE FLOW ALOFT WILL BE FAIRLY ALIGNED WITH THE
SURFACE TROUGH WHICH WOULD PROMOTE THE THREAT OF CELL TRAINING. THE
LIKELIHOOD OF FLASH FLOODING STILL DOES NOT LOOK TO BE WIDESPREAD
AND COULD BE CONFINED TO A RELATIVELY NARROW BAND SOMEWHERE IN OR
NEAR THE CWA...SO NO WATCH WILL BE POSTED AT THIS TIME.

OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL WITH CLOUD COVER AND A SW FLOW.

A MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS IS EXPECTED AT THE ATLANTIC FACING
BEACHES THIS EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
THE PATTERN REMAINS SIMILAR AS ANOTHER SURFACE TROUGH SETS UP JUST
TO THE WEST ON MONDAY BEFORE PUSHING THROUGH DURING THE NIGHTTIME.
ANOTHER MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE PASSES THROUGH DURING THE DAY. THIS TIME
AROUND...SOME SYNOPTIC LIFT WILL BE SUPPORTED BY THE RIGHT ENTRANCE
REGION OF AN UPPER JET STREAK PASSING OVER US. SCATTERED SHOWERS AT
LEAST DURING THE DAYTIME...THEN DIMINISHING AND SHIFTING EAST DURING
THE NIGHT AS THE ATMOSPHERE STABILIZES AND MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND
LIFT MOVE EAST.

SOME THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE AROUND AS WELL AS MLCAPES PROBABLY RISE
INTO THE 1000-1500 J/KG RANGE. THIS TIME HOWEVER THE WINDS ALOFT ARE
NOT QUITE AS FAVORABLE FOR ORGANIZED CONVECTION OR TRAINING OF
CELLS. BUT STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WITH GUSTY WINDS WILL STILL BE
POSSIBLE...AND WITH PWATS AROUND 2 INCHES...LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL
WILL STILL BE A THREAT.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE DOMINANT PATTERN IN THE LONG TERM IS THAT OF RIDGING ON AVERAGE.
ON A LARGE SCALE...RIDGE IS APPARENT ON THE MODEL HEIGHT FIELDS
ALOFT FROM CANADIAN MARITIMES TO THE MID-ATLANTIC TUESDAY. A
RELATIVELY STRONGER UPPER LEVEL TROUGH PASSES NORTH OF THE REGION
LATE TUESDAY INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY WITH SOME MORE HEIGHT FALLS AND A
TRANSITION TO ZONAL FLOW. THE LOCAL REGION WILL BE ON THE EDGE OF
THIS TROUGH...WITH MOST FORCING TO THE NORTH OF THE REGION. RIDGING
RESUMES THEREAFTER MID TO LATE WEEK WITH A LARGE RIDGE ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN U.S. PUSHING NORTH. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE WILL APPROACH FROM
THE NORTHWEST FOR NEXT WEEKEND.

A WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT IS LEFT IN THE REGION BEHIND THE LOW
PRESSURE TROUGH WITHOUT A STRONG PRESENCE OF HIGH PRESSURE TUESDAY.
THE JET PUSHES BACK SOUTH TUESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY...SO
THIS WILL HELP PUSH ANOTHER COLD FRONT THROUGH THE REGION. THIS WILL
TRANSITION WINDS TO MORE OF A NORTHERLY FLOW FOR WEDNESDAY. THE FLOW
WEAKENS THURSDAY ALLOWING FOR SEA BREEZES TO DEVELOP AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE SOUTH AND WEST. THE HIGH MOVES OFFSHORE
FRIDAY WITH ANOTHER COLD FRONT APPROACHING SATURDAY AND MOVING
ACROSS SATURDAY NIGHT. THEN HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS...BUILDING IN FROM
THE WEST TO CLOSE OUT NEXT WEEKEND.

OUTSIDE OF WEDNESDAY...A GENERAL SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW DOMINATES
NEXT WEEK. THE JET STREAM OVERALL KEEPS TO THE NORTH OF THE REGION.
A VERY WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE REGION.
TEMPERATURES REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD...WITH GREATEST
WIDESPREAD POSITIVE TEMPERATURE ANOMALIES TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
MAX TEMPS WILL BE WELL INTO THE 80S AND LOWER 90S IN THE VICINITY OF
NYC AND URBAN NORTHEAST NJ ON TUESDAY...AROUND 10 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. LOWS TUESDAY NIGHT AND HIGHS WEDNESDAY
ARE STILL EXPECTED TO BE GENERALLY 5-10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL ON AVERAGE
THEREAFTER FOR THE REST OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.

IN TERMS OF WEATHER...A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM
NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT WITH A LITTLE MORE
SHEAR TO WORK...AROUND 25 TO 35 KT 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR...AND
INSTABILITY AS DIAGNOSED BY MUCAPE VALUES RANGING BETWEEN AROUND 500
TO 2000 J/KG. DRY WEATHER RETURNS THEREAFTER WITH THE NEXT CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND MOVES
THROUGH TONIGHT. ANOTHER TROUGH APPROACHES MONDAY FROM THE WEST.

VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS TO IMPACT NYC TERMINALS THROUGH 22Z.

THEN A LARGER AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL APPROACH AND LIKELY IMPACT
NYC METRO AROUND THE 22-01Z TIME FRAME. MUCH OF THIS ACTIVITY THEN
MOVES EAST...WITH MOST TERMINALS IMPACTED.

TOWERING CU...MAINLY VFR EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON...WITH LOCAL MVFR
OR EVEN IFR IN HEAVIER CONVECTION LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

FOR THE OVERNIGHT...MVFR OR IFR CEILINGS AND VSBYS ARE POSSIBLE.
SHOWERS BECOME MORE SCATTERED TO ISOLATED.

ANY MORNING STRATUS AND FOG WILL SLOWLY BURN OFF MONDAY.

STRONG GUSTY WINDS ARE POSSIBLE IN ANY THUNDERSTORM. OTHERWISE
SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS 10 TO 15 KTS THIS AFTERNOON WILL LIGHTEN
TO 5 TO 10 KTS AFTER SUNSET. WINDS REMAIN LIGHT THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING HOURS.

.OUTLOOK FOR 18Z MON THROUGH FRI...
.MON AFTERNOON-MON NIGHT...ADDITIONAL SCT SHRA/TSRA POSSIBLE MON AFT/EVE.
MVFR STRATUS/FOG POSSIBLE LATE MON NIGHT.
.TUE...MAINLY VFR EXCEPT FOR SCT AFT/EVE SHRA/TSRA.
.WED-FRI...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED.

&&

.MARINE...
SW FLOW OF AROUND 15KT ON THE OCEAN WATERS TONIGHT IS EXPECTED TO
BUILD SEAS ON THE OCEAN TO 5FT. THERE IS A CHANCE THAT SEAS FALL
JUST SHORT OF 5FT...HOWEVER THERE IS NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE THAT SEAS
DON'T TOUCH 5FT TO REMOVE THE CURRENT SCA WHICH IS POSTED FOR
TONIGHT. FOR THE OTHER WATERS...WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW
SCA LEVELS. LOCALLY STRONG GUSTS WOULD HOWEVER BE POSSIBLE IN ANY
THUNDERSTORMS THAT HOLD TOGETHER THIS EVENING.

THE PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS WEAK MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY
WITH RIDGING THE MORE DOMINANT PATTERN. CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
REMAIN BELOW SCA ON THE WATERS THROUGH THIS TIME PERIOD.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ON AVERAGE...ABOUT AN INCH TO AN INCH AND A HALF OF RAINFALL IS
EXPECTED THROUGH MONDAY ACROSS THE BASINS. DUE TO THE CONVECTIVE
NATURE OF THE RAINFALL DISTRIBUTION...THERE WILL BE AREAS THAT
RECEIVE MUCH LESS...AND SOME AREAS THAT COULD SEE AT LEAST 2 INCHES
OF RAINFALL DURING THIS PERIOD. WIDESPREAD FLASH FLOODING IS NOT
EXPECTED...BUT IT APPEARS THAT THE BEST CHANCES OF ANY FLOODING
WOULD OCCUR BEFORE MIDNIGHT. ADDITIONALLY...LOCALIZED HEAVY
RAINFALL/FLOODING COULD OCCUR AT ANY POINT THROUGH MONDAY.

NO SIGNIFICANT WIDESPREAD RAINFALL EXPECTED TUESDAY THROUGH THE REST
OF THE WORK WEEK.

&&

.OKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CT...NONE.
NY...NONE.
NJ...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 6 AM EDT MONDAY FOR ANZ350-353-355.
