What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this gale 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 gale warning went out at Mar 20, 4:14 AM EDT, 11 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 20, 4:14 AM EDT, 11 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
414 AM EDT Tue Mar 20 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Arctic high pressure will begin to retreat to the north as a
significant low pressure system approaches from the south. The
developing coastal system will impact the area through
Wednesday, before finally departing to the northeast into the
Canadian maritimes on Thursday. High pressure then builds from
eastern Canada through the weekend. Another storm system may be
possible for early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
With the antecedent dry conditions due to the prevailing Arctic
high, the onset of any precipitation expected with the
developing coastal storm has once again been delayed until
afternoon or evening. Any precipitation will initially be light
and largely confined to the southern-most areas - northern NJ,
the NYC metro and Long Island. With saturation expected to be
slow and precipitation light, any evaporative cooling will be
minimal, so precipitation type may initially be rain or perhaps
a slushy rain/snow mix as high temperatures will be in the upper
30s to lower 40s. Temperatures are still around 10 degrees
below normal for this time of year.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
The main story is the developing nor'easter. Winter storm
watches have been converted to warnings across all areas except
eastern Suffolk County, where the highest uncertainty in
precipitation type resides. Steadier precipitation is expected
to develop after around midnight from south to north tonight,
becoming more intense through the Wednesday morning commute.
Areas from about NYC eastward will also need to be monitored for
a potential blizzard warning with strong winds around 20-30 mph
with gusts up to 45 mph are expected. Primary uncertainty may
be with visibilities, as snow ratios will be lower across these
areas leading to a wetter, heavier snow.

Snow totals have once again been increased. Initially
precipitation types will be mixed as strong easterly flow above
the surface advects warmer temperatures westward. For now went
with a GFS/NAM blend for precipitation types. It should be
noted that the NAM tends to be warmer in these warm advection
scenarios, which would lead to more significant accumulations of
freezing rain for Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, but
based on similar events a mix of sleet, wet heavy snow and
perhaps minimal accumulations of freezing rain seem more likely,
especially closer to the coast.

By Wednesday afternoon to evening, the storm intensifies amidst
strong diffluence/divergence aloft as the upper low passes just
to the south. Given strong convergence at the surface to the
northwest of the low and vorticity maximized in a corridor
roughly from Connecticut through NYC into NJ, expect the
development of a potentially significant snow band, with any
mixed precipitation quickly transitioning to heavy snow as a
result of dynamic cooling. The heaviest snow rates will be
possible around this time, with 1-2"/hr possible. Additionally,
temperatures aloft will rapidly cool as the upper low passes
just offshore, which may provide enough elevated instability for
charge separation, and thundersnow with locally higher rates.
As the system ejects to the east-northeast, the snow band(s)
will rotate eastward, allowing any remaining areas still in
mixed precipitation to transition to all snow as well. For some
areas farther east, particularly eastern Long Island and
southeast Connecticut, the time frame after 8 pm as the band(s)
pull east may be the period of best snowfall potential with the
highest rates of accumulation. Also note, that given this is a
late season event and temperatures will be somewhat marginal,
snowfall is once again expected to be heavy, and combined with
strong winds may lead to downed trees and powerlines.

High pressure then builds into the area again following the
departure of the low pressure system, allowing precipitation to
taper off from west to east during the early morning. At least
light snow may linger across eastern Long Island and Connecticut
through the morning rush, but the more significant accumulations
will have ended. Conditions will remain breezy on Thursday, with
below normal temperatures continuing.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
Generally dry conditions will continue through the first half
of the weekend. Some weak forcing may spark off a few snow
showers or flurries late Saturday with an upper level low off
the New England Coast, but not enough confidence to put it in
the forecast as of yet. However, the bigger story will be the
potential for another low pressure system to affect the region
for the second half of the weekend.

There are significant differences in the model solutions, both in
the deterministic and ensemble models, for the second half of the
weekend and the potential low pressure system to affect the area.
The main differences stem from orientation of a strong 1043 mb
surface high pressure over southern Canada Saturday that digs all
the way south into Florida and the Southeast US Coast. The 19 12Z
ECMWF pinches off a piece of this high Saturday night, giving an
area of low pressure developing over the Mid-West a path between the
two highs to move toward our region. The 19 12Z GFS does not pinch
off this high as notably as the ECMWF, with more of a cold air
damming signature noted on Sunday, when the ECMWF pushes the low off
the Carolina Coast, with our region on the northern fringes of the
precipitation field. The low is then forecast to pass well south of
our area and then east out to sea Sunday night. The GFS suppress the
low well south and weakens it. This latest model run of the ECMWF is
more in line with the GFS. Given forecast uncertainty, will not make
much in the way of changes.

Proximity of the low to the coast will determine precipitation
types. If the ECMWF is to be believed, the track is a bit different
to previous storms, at least with its approach to the area, with a
more west to east track, then head northeast east, as opposed to
development or redevelopment off the Mid-Atlantic coast and heading
northeast. However, it will be cold enough for some snow.

Temperatures during the long term will average below normal with a
persistent northwesterly flow.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
High pressure gives way to a series of lows passing to the south and
east of the area, the first this evening, and then another on
Wednesday.

VFR today and through the evening. Light NE winds this morning
gradually ramp up during the day. Gusts to around 20 kt are
expected at the coastal terminals in the afternoon and
increasing to 25-30 kt into tonight. Inland gusts will be a bit
weaker.

There is a chance of a light wintry mix developing this
evening. The brunt of the precipitation is currently forecast
to develop on Wednesday.

.MARINE...
The gradient between low pressure off to the south and west and
high pressure to the northwest will increase through today. This
will allow winds and seas to increase to SCA-levels by this afternoon
and evening for the ocean and eastern sound, with Gale to storm
conditions developing Tuesday night into Wednesday.

Have issued a storm watch for the ocean for Tue night into Wed, as E-
NE winds rapidly increase in response to the development of the
coastal low. Expect gusts mainly 35-45 kt during this time, and peak
gusts of 45 to 50 kt may be possible on the outer ocean waters. Gale
conditions are expected for the Eastern Sound and the bays of Long
Island overall during this timeframe. Gales should then linger on
the ocean through much of Wed night.

Winds diminish Thursday as low pressure heads away from the coastal
waters. SCA winds possible early in the morning for the ocean waters
and Peconic and Gardiner's Bay. Thereafter, winds should remain
below 25 kt through Saturday night. Winds increase late Saturday
night into Sunday morning as another low pressure system approaches
the coastal waters. A period of SCA winds are possible from Sunday
morning through Sunday night, mainly on the ocean waters as the low
pressure moves toward the region.

Waves diminish on Thursday as well, with ocean waters coming down
below 5 ft Thursday night. Waves then remain below 5 ft through
Saturday, building again Saturday night in response to approaching
storm. 5 ft waves possible late Sunday morning.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
It will be mainly dry through tonight.

There is the potential for a prolonged period of precipitation from
Tuesday through Wednesday night. Total liquid equivalent precip
should range from 0.75 to 1.50 inches, falling mainly as snow
and sleet, so no hydrologic impact expected.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
A prolonged NE/N flow will have water levels building Tuesday
night into Wednesday. Tidal departures of generally only 1 to 1
1/2 ft are needed for minor flooding for many locations Tuesday
night through Wednesday night, and 2 to 3 ft for moderate.

At this point, mainly minor impacts are expected during the
Tuesday Night high tide as NE winds are just beginning to ramp
up to SCA/Gale force.

With NE gale to storm force winds continuing into the late
Wednesday morning/early afternoon high tide cycle, widespread
minor to moderate impacts are likely for the Wed late
morning/early afternoon high tide. Latest guidance has trended
upward with surge for this tidal cycle. At this point, highest
confidence is in the southern bays of Nassau and Western Suffolk
county reaching moderate flood thresholds, but this threat may
need to be expanded a bit depending on model/surge guidance
trends.

Another round of minor to locally moderate coastal flooding
likely for the Wed night high tide cycle. There is more guidance
spread with this tidal cycle, due to competing factors of tidal
piling and energetic wave energy build water levels along the
coast, versus N/NW gales pushing water away from the coast. Will
have to continue to monitor this tidal cycle, as guidance
typically has a low bias on the back end of multi tidal cycle
surge events.
