AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
137 PM EDT TUE MAR 25 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TO THE SOUTH APPROACHES TODAY AND
TONIGHT BEFORE PASSING TO OUR EAST ON WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
THEN BUILDS IN THROUGH THURSDAY. A WARM FRONT LIFTS TO THE NORTH
THURSDAY NIGHT...FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONT FRIDAY NIGHT. THE FRONT
STALLS NEARBY THIS WEEKEND WITH A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE RIDING
ALONG IT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
FORECAST APPEARS TO BE MOSTLY ON TRACK. MINOR CHANGES THIS UPDATE
TO MAINLY TO HOURLY TEMPS/DEWPOINTS AND CLOUD COVER.

TODAY WILL BE MAINLY DRY WITH INCREASING MID TO HIGH CLOUDS AS
DEEP LAYERED RIDGING SLOWLY LIFTS TO THE NE.

ALL GUIDANCE HAS SLOWED RATE AT WHICH PRECIPITATION BUILDS IN
TODAY...AS THEY INDICATE SOME NEGATIVE VORTICITY ADVECTION AT 700
AND 500 HPA IN THE AFTERNOON...SO ONLY HAVE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS
ALONG THE WESTERN BORDER OF THE CWA BY LATE AFTERNOON. THERMAL
PROFILES SUPPORT ALL SNOW...BUT GIVEN PRECIPITATION WILL BE
LIGHT...AND IMPACT OF MARCH SUN...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF SAW
SOME RAIN MIXED IN TO START AT ELEVATIONS BELOW 500 FT.

HIGHS AROUND 10-15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
NOTE ON 6Z MODELS...NAM AND GFS HAVE TRENDED WETTER...WHILE 3Z
SREF HAS TRENDED DRIER. TIMING OF PRECIPITATION REMAINS BASICALLY
UNCHANGED. IF TRENDS CONTINUE...COULD SEE NEED TO INCREASE SNOW
TOTALS/EXPAND WESTWARD. DO EXPECT 9Z SREF TO REVERSE ITS TREND AS
SOME OF ITS MEMBERS ARE INITIALIZED FROM THE 6Z NAM OR GFS.

MODELS ARE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT IN HOW THEY HANDLE FEATURES
ALOFT...BUT DIFFER IN DETAILS AT THE SURFACE WITH HOW THEY HANDLE
THE RAPIDLY DEEPENING NOR/EASTER THAT IS EXPECTED TO PASS TO THE
SOUTH AND EAST OF THE 40N/70W BENCHMARK LATE TONIGHT-WEDNESDAY
MORNING. UNCERTAINTY REMAINS IN HANDLING OF MERGING OF EXISTING
LOW OFF THE FLORIDA COAST...WITH LOW FORECAST TO DEVELOP IN
RESPONSE TO DIGGING TROUGH FROM THE PLAINS. ECMWF AND NAM BOTH
DEVELOP A SMALLER LOW TO THE NW OF THE INITIAL LOW AT 00Z
WEDNESDAY...THEN GRADUALLY MERGE THEM TUESDAY NIGHT...WHILE THE
CMC/GFS/SREF/UKMET DO NOT SHOW THIS. AS A RESULT...THE NAM AND
ECMWF ARE A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE COAST AND WETTER THAN THE OTHERS.
GIVEN THE RATHER REMARKABLE CONSISTENCY OF THE ECMWF WITH THIS
SYSTEM...AND THAT THE FORECAST EVOLUTION OF THE 700 AND 500
VORTICITY PATTERNS IN ALL MODELS SUPPORT A SURFACE EVOLUTION
SIMILAR TO THE ECMWF AND NAM...HAVE LEANED THE FORECAST MORE
TOWARDS THESE TWO THAN THE OTHER CAMP.

BASED ON THIS...WOULD EXPECT LIGHT SNOW TO OVERSPREAD MAINLY THE
SE 1/2 TO 2/3 OF THE TRI-STATE THIS EVENING - STILL SOME QUESTION
HOW FAR NW OF NYC GETS ANY SNOWFALL. WOULD THEN EXPECT A PERIOD OF
MODERATE SNOW ACROSS SOUTHERN AND EASTERN SUFFOLK COUNTY AND NEW
LONDON COUNTY (AND MAYBE SOUTHERN MIDDLESEX) LATE TONIGHT...WITH
LIGHT SNOW FURTHER W TO MAYBE NYC/SW CT...AND SPOTTY LIGHT SNOW
FARTHER TO THE N/W. THE SNOW THEN TAPERS OFF FROM NW TO SE
WEDNESDAY MORNING...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME ADDITIONAL
ACCUMULATION OVER FAR EASTERN AREAS. WOULD EXPECT CLEARING
BY AND DURING WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AS THE LOW PULLS
AWAY...ESPECIALLY OVER WESTERN ZONES.

FOR NOW GOING WITH A 2-4 INCH SNOWFALL ACROSS EASTERN SUFFOLK
COUNTY AND MUCH OF SE CT...1-2 INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS THE REMAINDER
OF LONG ISLAND AND PORTIONS OF SW CT AND FAR SE PORTIONS OF NYC.
EXPECT LESS THAN 1 INCH OF SNOW ELSEWHERE...WITH LITTLE TO NO
ACCUMULATION ACROSS ORANGE AND PUTNAM COUNTIES.

BECAUSE CONFIDENCE IN FORECAST IS NOT AT THE REQUIRED 80 PERCENT
LEVEL TO ISSUE AN ADVISORY...HAVE NOT ISSUED ANY WINTER WEATHER
HEADLINES AT THIS TIME.

FOR NOW APPEARS WINDS WILL LIKELY STAY BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA
WITH THIS STORM...WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS ON WEDNESDAY ACROSS THE
REGION...FOR NOW PEAKING OUT AT 20-25 MPH GUSTING TO 35-40 MPH
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THERE IS A CHANCE OF WINDS REACHING ADVISORY
CRITERIA OVER EASTERN ZONES WEDNESDAY...BUT CONFIDENCE IN THIS IS
NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO REFLECT IN THE FORECAST AT THIS TIME.

FOR LOWS TONIGHT USED A BLEND OF MAV/MET GUIDANCE...WITH VALUES
FORECAST AROUND 5 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. FOR HIGHS WEDNESDAY USED A
BLEND OF MIXING DOWN FROM 850 HPA WITH NAM 2-METER TEMPERATURES
AND A BLEND OF MAV/MET GUIDANCE. EXPECT VALUES TO BE 10-15 DEGREES
BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
DEEP LAYERED RIDGING BUILDS IN WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY
KEEPING THINGS DRY. THE RIDGE AXIS SLIDES TO THE EAST THURSDAY
NIGHT...WITH A DEEP LAYERED SW FLOW SETTING UP ALOFT...HELPING TO
PUSH A WARM FRONT THROUGH LATE THURSDAY NIGHT. HAVE SLIGHT CHANCE
TO LOW END CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE NW 1/3 OF THE CWA LATE THURSDAY
NIGHT/FRIDAY MORNING IN RESPONSE - BASED ON CLOSEST PROXIMITY TO BEST
UPPER LEVEL FORCING. COULD SEE ENOUGH LOW LEVEL COULD AIR...THAT
COULD SEE SOME SNOW MIXED IN ACROSS NORTHERN INTERIOR ZONES EARLY
FRIDAY MORNING.

PASSING NORTHERN STREAM 700-500 HPA TROUGH ALONG WITH ASSOCIATED
SURFACE COLD FRONT REELECTION WARRANTS CHANCE POPS FOR -SHRA LATE
FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND LIKELY POPS FRIDAY NIGHT.

00Z MODELS (ECMWF/GFS AND CMC) DO NOT BRING THE COLD FRONT AS FAR
TO THE S AS 12Z RUNS DID...AND AS RESULT THE WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE
THAT FORM ALONG IT IN RESPONSE TO APPROACHING 700-500 HPA TROUGH
SATURDAY-SUNDAY PASS CLOSER TO LONG ISLAND THAN PREVIOUSLY
FORECAST. AS A RESULT HAVE INCREASED POPS TO CHANCE SATURDAY AND
SATURDAY NIGHT AND TO SLIGHT CHANCE ON SUNDAY. STILL SOME
UNCERTAINTY AS TO HOW LONG PRECIPITATION LINGERS INTO
SUNDAY...WITH SOME GUIDANCE SUGGESTING SUNDAY MAINLY DRY - SO ONLY
WARRANTS SLIGHT CHANCE POPS DUE TO UNCERTAINTY THIS FAR OUT. FOR
NOW APPEARS WILL BE WARM ENOUGH TO WARRANT ONLY FORECASTING RAIN.

RIDGING BUILDS IN SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...KEEPING THINGS DRY.

TEMPERATURES START OUT BELOW NORMAL WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
THURSDAY...MODERATE TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY...RETURN TO NEAR NORMAL ON SUNDAY...THEN GO ABOVE NORMAL
ON MONDAY. CONFIDENCE IN TEMPERATURE FORECAST IS BELOW
NORMAL...DUE TO CHANGE IN FORECAST FROM 12Z TO 00Z CYCLE - WITH
IMPACT OF PRECIPITATION ON TEMPERATURES LIKELY NOT FACTORED IN
ENOUGH FRIDAY-SUNDAY (COLD BE A TAD TOO WARM DURING THE DAY).

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TO THE SOUTH WILL APPROACHES AND RAPIDLY
STRENGTHEN AS IT PASSES WELL SOUTH AND EAST OF LONG ISLAND
TONIGHT.

VFR FOR THE REST OF THE DAY...THEN CONDITIONS DETERIORATE TO MVFR
TONIGHT AT MOST COASTAL TERMINALS WITH ONSET OF SNOW. HIGH
CONFIDENCE IN CATEGORY FORECAST THROUGH TODAY AND MODERATE
CONFIDENCE TONIGHT. LOW CONFIDENCE IN IFR FOR CITY TERMINALS.
MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN IFR FOR KISP AND KGON.

WINDS REMAIN FROM THE S AROUND 6-10 KT FOR MOST TERMINALS TODAY.
WINDS THEN TURN MORE EASTERLY THIS EVENING AND INCREASE...BECOMING
GUSTY LATE TONIGHT WITH N-NW WINDS 15-20 KT WITH GUSTS 25-30 KT BY
LATE TONIGHT/EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING.

TIMING OF WIND SHIFTS COULD BE 1-3 HOURS DIFFERENT FROM TAFS. THE
CONFIDENCE IN THE WIND FORECAST IS MODERATE THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON AND LOW INTO THIS EVENING WITH THE TIMING OF THE SWITCH
FROM SE TO E-NE FLOW.

&&

.MARINE...
MINOR CHANGES THIS UPDATE TO REFLECT THE LATEST TRENDS IN
OBSERVATIONS AND GUIDANCE. FORECAST APPEARS ON TRACK.

BELOW SCA CONDITIONS ACROSS AREA WATERS TODAY...AS HIGH PRESSURE
MOVES EAST. LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST AND
THEN INTENSIFY OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST TODAY. WINDS AND SEAS WILL
QUICKLY INCREASE TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY TO NEAR GALE FORCE...AS THE
COASTAL LOW PASSES NEAR THE AREA WATERS.  THEREFORE...GALE WATCHES
REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY.

SEAS AND WINDS SUBSIDE TO BELOW SCA CONDITIONS THURSDAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE AREA WATERS. A SCA CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY
BE NEEDED FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AS THE NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHES.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
LIQUID EQUIVALENT PRECIPITATION FROM A FEW HUNDREDTHS WELL NW OF
NYC TO AROUND .4 INCHES OVER THE SOUTH FORK IS EXPECTED FROM LATE
THIS AFTERNOON INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. THIS WILL BE IN THE FORM
OF SNOW...SO NO ADVERSE HYDROLOGIC IMPACTS ARE ANTICIPATED.

THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL FROM FRIDAY INTO
SUNDAY. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THERE IS TOO MUCH UNCERTAINTY TO
SPECIFY AMOUNTS AND IMPACTS...AND THAT IT SHOULD NOT RAIN
CONTINUOUSLY FROM FRIDAY INTO SUNDAY.
