Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
201 AM EDT Tue Mar 21 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A weak cold front will move across Tuesday morning, followed by
a stronger cold front Tuesday night. This second front will
usher in much colder air Wednesday and Thursday via building
Canadian high pressure. Milder air will return later this week,
before a cold front probably sags to the south this weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
Ahead of the weak cold front, there is some weak warm air
advection. RUC analysis of 975 and 950mb show temperatures a few
degrees above freezing and surface temperatures have held within
the upper 30s to mid 40s for most locations. Winds are light and
variable with a broken to overcast mid deck of clouds in
place. The temperatures are forecast to just lower a few degrees
for most locations on average with radiational cooling thus
mitigated from clouds overhead.

The bulk of the precip towards daybreak Tuesday will be
southwest of the region, associated with a weak frontal system
traversing the mid-Atlantic, but it may brush the extreme SW
portions of the local forecast region. Ambient temperatures in
place for those sections will allow for a slight chance of light
rain with otherwise mainly dry conditions elsewhere. The
interior temperatures are forecast to drop to right near
freezing so any precipitation there could be light freezing
rain, but again those farther northward sections are expected to
remain dry.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
Weak cold front moves across during the morning. After morning
cloudiness (and perhaps a brief rain/snow shower), clearing
should set in during afternoon as drier air works into region.
Sunshine and westerly flow will help temperatures reach lower
and mid 50s Tuesday afternoon, if not a little warmer in and
around NYC due to downslope flow.

Stronger cold front approaches Tuesday night as upper trough rotates
through eastern Great Lakes. Front should pass through close to
daybreak Wednesday, but once again moisture looks to be fairly
limited, so we will continue with dry forecast. Lows should drop
into 20s inland and low 30s near coast.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
Models and ensembles continue to advertise highly amplified pattern
as upper trough heads to Maritimes Wed/Thu. Ridging tries to build
in behind system Fri but there are differences in position and
strength of developing trough next weekend.

Canadian high pressure builds over region Wed/Thu which will result
in below average temperatures. Despite March sunshine, highs should
only reach 30s both days. Lows Wed night should range from teens
inland to low 20s near coast. Should also be rather brisk which will
send wind chills into single numbers at times, or even below zero
inland.

Temperatures begin to modify Fri as high moves offshore and SW flow
gets underway. Then our attention turns to a backdoor front, which
should drop south through area Saturday night or Sunday morning, as
strong high pressure builds across Hudson Bay. We then need to keep
an eye on low pressure emerging from Ohio Valley, which may end up
bringing some precipitation to area Sun-Mon or keeps everything
suppressed to our south. Too much uncertainty this far out to say
which solution is more favored at this time.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
High pressure remains over the region tonight. A weak cold front
will move through Tuesday morning, bringing only additional
clouds. Light northwest winds tonight, generally 10 KTS or less.
Winds will increase during the mid to late morning on Tuesday,
becoming more westerly by afternoon. Clouds become more
scattered behind the passing front.

VFR through the TAF period.

.OUTLOOK FOR 00z TUESDAY THROUGH Saturday...
Tuesday night-Thursday..VFR. NW gusts 20-25 kt possible on
Wednesday.
.Friday...Chance of sub-VFR cigs.
.Saturday...Mainly VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
Quiet through Tue night, with a weak cold frontal passage Tue
morning. A stronger cold front passing early Wed morning will be
followed by increasing NW winds. Gusts to 30 kt are most likely
but it's certainly possible gusts could reach 35-40 kt,
especially on the ocean. A gale watch has been issued for all
waters, since this surge of cold is very impressive for late
March and can easily lead to these higher gusts to gale force.
Winds and seas diminish once again Thu as high pressure builds
over the waters. SW flow gets underway Fri as the high moves
east. but winds and seas probably stay below SCA.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
No hydrologic problems expected through this week.

&&

.OKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CT...None.
NY...None.
NJ...None.
MARINE...Gale Watch from Wednesday morning through late Wednesday night
     for ANZ330-335-338-340-345-350-353-355.
