Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
350 PM EDT Wed Aug 2 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will remain over the Western Atlantic through
Thursday, stretching into the Northeast. Low pressure then moves
through the Great Lakes Region on Friday and sends a cold front
through the local area on Saturday as it is passes to our north.
High pressure then builds in on Sunday, followed by another low
pressure system early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
Convection will continue into early evening before weakening after
sunset with loss of heating and with best shortwave forcing passing
to the NE. The threat of at least minor urban/small stream flooding
remains with the slow motion of the storm cells, particularly over
NE NJ and Orange County where up to a couple of inches of
rainfall has already fallen. Localized flash flooding cannot be
ruled out either, mainly from around the city and points NW.
Otherwise, remaining mostly cloudy for the overnight with
sufficient moisture aloft. Patchy fog is also expected away from
the NYC metro.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
Broad upper troughing continues on Thursday with a weak surface
trough probably developing nearby during the afternoon, but there
does not appear to be any well defined shortwaves. So the surface
trough plus any weak shortwave, seabreeze or outflow boundary will
act as the focus for convection. Will cap PoPs in the chance
category with a focus in the afternoon as convection will be mainly
diurnally driven. The steering flow remains weak, so locally heavy
rainfall is possible as any storm would be slow-moving.

Near seasonable high temperatures are forecast on Thursday.

The flow aloft becomes more anticyclonic Thursday night. This
combined and with the loss of daytime heating would serve to lessen
the coverage of showers/storms, however both NAM and GFS seem to
indicate weak shortwave and isentropic lift shifting through during
the night, so will go with some form of PoPs for most areas through
the night.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
The region then remains under SW flow aloft Friday-Friday
night, and with no notable shortwave progged through the area,
would expect mainly pulse diurnally driven convection, mainly
over the interior into Friday evening, as onshore flow will
enable local marine influence to serve as a limiting factor for
coastal zones. An approaching cold front could trigger some
showers/storms late Friday night over far western zones, so have
slight chance pops to reflect this.

The axis of a closed upper low over SE Canada moves into the region
on Saturday, this should trigger some scattered showers and
thunderstorms with its passage. With CAPEs forecast to be around
1000-2000 J/kg (mainly over W 1/2 of CWA) and the region being in
the right rear quadrant of an 85+ kt 300 hPa jet, there is some
potential for some strong to possibly severe storms, mainly across
NE NJ/Lower Hudson Valley/SW CT and possibly into remainder of the
NYC metro.

The trough axis lifts to the NE Saturday night, but other than maybe
some lingering convection over SE CT early, it should be dry.

SW flow aloft Sunday and Sunday night with no shortwaves of note
embedded in the flow should allow for both periods to be dry, with
not to much in the way of cloud cover.

Models then differ on handling of a northern stream shortwave trough
early next week. The ECMWF is more progressive, while the GFS/CMC
are slower and a bit stronger. The net result should be the same,
with a low riding along a frontal boundary stalled to our south. The
main issue is timing of precipitation, and amount. Both models have
been consistent in their solutions, so have gone with a compromise
between the two camps given the inherent uncertainty this far out.
For now, limit chance pops to W zones Monday afternoon, then have
everywhere Monday night. For now only have slight chance pops on
Tuesday, but if slower solutions are right, could be a rainy Tuesday
as well. High pressure otherwise builds in for Wednesday with
dry weather.

Temperatures should be near normal Thursday night-Saturday, then
below normal Saturday night-Sunday. Lows Sunday night and Monday
night should be near normal and highs Monday-Tuesday below
normal.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
TSTMS development has moved well inland over central NJ and into
the mid Hudson Valley as the NY Metro has been stabilized by
the earlier convection as of 20Z.  Expecting just some light
stratiform -RA with VFR conditions for the NY Metro terminals
through 23Z. All convection will weaken and dissipate with loss of
heating this evening.

VFR overnight with some light fog in rural terminals.

At the surface, light southerly flow prevails.

KJFK TAF Comments: TS late this afternoon 20-40NM SW of the
terminal.

KLGA TAF Comments: TS late this afternoon 30-60NM SW-NW of the
terminal.

KEWR TAF Comments: TS late this afternoon 20-50NM SW-NW of the
terminal.

KTEB TAF Comments: TS late this afternoon 30-50NM SW-NW of the
terminal.

KHPN TAF Comments: No Amendments Scheduled

KISP TAF Comments: No unscheduled Amendments Expected.

.OUTLOOK FOR 18Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
.THU AFTN-FRI...VFR, but with Isolated TSRA inland each
afternoon. Areas of MVFR BR/HZ around sunrise Friday morning at
rural area terminals. S-SW wind 10-15kt. G20KT possible late
Friday coastal terminals.
.SAT...VFR. SCT TSRA.
.SUN...VFR.
.MON...Becoming MVFR-IFR thought the day with increasing chances
for RA. SE surface wind 15-20 KT.

&&

.MARINE...
A relaxed pressure gradient over the region through Monday will
limit winds to around 10 kt or less, except up to 15 kt in
seabreezes in the NY Bight area Thursday and Friday afternoons.
Given these relatively light winds and no significant swell,
seas/waves will remain well below small-craft levels through
Monday as a result.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Locally heavy rainfall is possible with any stronger convection
through Saturday, with nuisance flooding of urban/poor drainage
areas the main threat. There is at least a low chance of localized
flash flooding into this evening. Otherwise, no significant
hydrologic impacts are expected through at least Monday morning.

There is some potential for widespread rainfall from Monday possibly
into Tuesday. At this time, it is to early to specify any amounts or
impacts during this time frame.
