Area forecast discussion, Jun 29, 4:49 PM EDT, 39 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
449 PM EDT Sat Jun 29 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold frontal passage occurs tonight, followed by another on
Sunday. High pressure builds on Monday followed by a cold front
passage on Tuesday. This front will stall to the south before
returning as a warm front late in the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
LAPS shows that the area is unstable with convective inhibition
decreasing. Highest CAPE is across the ern half of the forecast area
with numbers around 3000 J/kg. As heights fall into the evening,
convective development is expected across the region. Despite the
relatively low 0-6km bulk shear of around 30kt, there is enough CAPE
for pulse severe, and enough of a balance for some better organized
cells as well. Scattered severe thunderstorms will therefore be
forecast thru 8pm.

The 12z NAM suggested a second round of thunderstorms right ahead of
the front later this evening. Chances for rain have been increased
as a result. Much will depend on how the next few hours play out. If
extensive convection develops, then additional storms are less
likely tonight in the worked over airmass. If little to nothing
develops thru the early evening, a there will be better chances for
thunderstorms and even a severe threat late this evening.

Any activity is progged to sweep offshore after midnight as the cold
front passes south of Long Island.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Cooler on Sunday but a potent h5 low will drop right through the
forecast area during the day. The GFS is further west than the NAM
with the feature, which leads to some uncertainty with regard to the
western extent of the thunderstorm chances. For now, chances range
from around 60 in ern CT to around 30 in swrn NJ zones. Downburst
potential enhanced by dry adiabatic lapse rates up to h85. Cold
temps aloft enhance the hail threat. Any thunderstorms should
quickly dissipate in the evening as the upper low exits. The deep
mixing will result in wind gusts to around 30kt outside of
convection, so a breezy day can be expected. The NBM was nudged up
slightly for high temperatures due to the deep mixing, with no
changes to the NBM made for Sunday night.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A broad upper ridge will dominate the Central US to start the week
before flattening out as it migrates east. A series of shortwaves
will travel along the ridge pushing fronts across the region into
midweek.

High pressure at the surface will lead to a dry forecast on Monday.
A well-mixed boundary layer support temperatures in the mid 80s. A
cold front will then approach Monday evening and move through early
Tuesday with a brief round of showers or even a few thunderstorms.
The rest of the week looks to be primarily dry. However, a front
will linger to the south and with a warm and humid airmass in place,
increasing instability could lead to the development of scattered
convection both Thursday and Friday.

In terms of temperatures, Monday and Tuesday will be in the low to
mid 80s, with highs rising into the upper 80s into the end of the
week with increasing humidity.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A cold front will move across the area late this evening.
Expect chances for showers and thunderstorms as it moves
through. Showers and storms will be likely through 00z-02z, and
moves from northwest to southeast. Conditions then become dry
after the frontal passage overnight. Any thunderstorms that
develop have the potential to produce strong and gusty W winds
at the terminals, some of which may approach 50 kt.

Otherwise, winds will be from the W-NW (except S-SW along the
coast), and increase into the evening, particularly as the
front moves through. Gusts may then briefly subside overnight,
before strengthening again by Sunday morning. There will be
another chance for afternoon showers and thunderstorms on Sunday
as a stronger front moves through.

.OUTLOOK FOR 18Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...
.Sunday afternoon...A chance of MVFR or lower in showers and
thunderstorms, mainly east of the NYC terminals. NW gusts 15-25
kt during day.
.Monday...VFR.
.Tuesday...Slight chance of showers and thunderstorms with MVFR
possible.
.Wednesday...Mainly VFR.
.Thursday...Chance of showers and thunderstorms.

&&

.MARINE...
Winds and seas will remain below SCA levels tonight, although
scattered strong to severe thunderstorms can be expected. Winds and
seas will be at marginal SCA levels on Sunday. The advisory has not
been issued with this forecast due to the uncertainty. With a
weak gradient thereafter, sub-SCA conditions are expected
Monday through Thursday.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Thunderstorms this afternoon and early evening may produce locally
heavy rainfall. Scattered areas of minor urban and poor drainage
flooding will be the main threat.

No widespread hydrologic impacts are anticipated Sunday through
next week.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Localized minor coastal flooding possible with the Monday
afternoon high tide in the most vulnerable south shore bays and
W Li Sound locales with approach of new moon.

&&

.EQUIPMENT...
NYC NOAA Weather Radio Station KWO35 (162.55 MHz) remains off
the air.

&&

.OKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CT...None.
