MALOITWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS New York, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Sep 25, 8:05 PM EDT, 14 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 25, 8:05 PM EDT, 14 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
805 PM EDT Tue Sep 25 2018
.SYNOPSIS...
A warm front will slowly move north of the area this evening,
followed by a cold front Wednesday and Wednesday night. High
pressure returns on Thursday and then builds to the north on
Friday as a wave of low pressure passes to the south. A stronger
high pressure builds from the west over the weekend and then
offshore early next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
Widespread flash flooding event continues with warnings ongoing
across western Suffolk County and across southern Connecticut.
The axis of heavy rain continues to be along a strong
convergence corridor with the warm front the its vicinity and a
middle level shortwave. Have noted some weak mesocyclones
within some of the stronger cells, but the main threat continues
to be from heavy rain. PWATS continues to be around 2 inches,
supporting torrential downpours.
A Public Information Statement has been issued listing some
rainfall totals so far with this event.
High resolution guidance shows the axis of heavy rain gradually
diminishing in the next few hours with a more limited threat for
heavy downpours after midnight. PoPs will be decreased
accordingly, but with a continued moist southerly flow and warm
front nearby, PoPs will still remain in the chance range.
Will need to watch the early morning hours as the HRRR and 3-km
NAM show some regneration of heavy rain, mainly along Long
Island and SE CT.
Winds should remain high enough at the coast to keep fog from
becoming widespread tonight. Inland areas north of the warm
front may see fog become more widespread and possibly dense.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
Areas of fog during the early morning hours will dissipate as
heating and mixing commences. Scattered showered in the morning
will become more widespread as the day progresses with a pre-
frontal trough developing and followed by a cold front during
the eve. Moderate instability and 30-40kt of 0-6km bulk shear
has warranted SPC to place the entire area in a slight risk for
severe weather on Wed. The main threat is damaging winds. Heavy
rain will once again be a concern although the storms should be
moving and the upper pattern does not appear to be conducive for
training storms. However, urban and small stream flooding cannot
be ruled out.
Showers/tstms end from W to E Wed night with dry weather
returning behind it.
There is a high rip current risk for the Atlantic beaches
Wednesday.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
The synoptic pattern through the long term will be characterized by
a large, mean trough over the northern CONUS. The upper trough may
flatten later this weekend and lift back into Canada early next week
as ridging rebuilds over the east.
High pressure will briefly build over the region on Thursday and
then lift to our north on Friday. The cold front that moves across
late Wednesday into Wednesday night stalls to our south.
A broad SW flow aloft and some shortwave energy may interact
with this front and develop a wave of low pressure along it
Thursday night. This wave likely passes to our south and east on
Friday. Have continued to keep PoPs in the slight to low chance
range. Thinking the surface high will continue to ridge down
into the region preventing much in the way of precipitation. The
low moves offshore late Friday into Friday night with a
stronger high building into the region for the rest of the
weekend. This high will likely move offshore early next week
with the approach of the next frontal system.
Temperatures should average near normal through the long term period
with highs in the upper 60s and lower 70s and nighttime
temperatures mainly in the lower and middle 50s.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Warm front will clear nrn portions of the area by 12-14z. A
cold front approaches from the west on Wednesday.
Mainly mvfr or lower this eve, although some breaks to vfr are
likely, especially the NYC arpts. Rain tapers off thru 4z from
w to e. Heaviest shwrs from KISP to KHVN and points e. Cigs
still expected to lower to ifr all areas overnight.
Winds will continue to diminish this eve. Light and variable winds
may prevail across the Lower Hudson Valley. S-SW winds of 10 to 15
kt expected on Wed, becoming nw behind the cold front Wed ngt.

the afternoon/evening.
.Thursday...VFR.
.Thursday night-Friday morning...MVFR possible, low chance of
showers.
.Friday afternoon-Sunday...VFR.
&&
.MARINE...
SCA remains in effect through 9pm for the Eastern Sound and
Eastern LI Bays. Winds will continue to diminish there and
should be below 25 kt after 9pm. Gusts on the ocean waters have
diminished below 25 kt, although seas will remain above 5 ft
through Wed night.
Winds are likely to remain below SCA levels Thursday through the
weekend on all area waters. Ocean seas on Thursday into Thursday
night will remain elevated above 5 ft, but then should remain 3-4 ft
from Friday into the weekend.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
The potential for significant flash flooding remains into this
evening, mainly across southeastern Connecitcut and portions of
western Suffolk County. Additional rainfall amounts of 2 to 3
inches with locally higher amounts cannout be ruled out in the
heaviest band of showers. Outside of the heaviest band of
showers, rainfall amounts will be significantly less.
Scattered tstms Wed/Wed eve have the potential to produce heavy
rainfall however urban and small stream flooding appears to be
the potential threat at this point.
