The local office's own words before this special weather statement 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 special weather statement went out at Aug 3, 7:07 PM EDT, 2 hours 1 minute earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 3, 7:07 PM EDT, 2 hours 1 minute before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New York NY 707 PM EDT Sat Aug 3 2019 .SYNOPSIS... A weak cold front will move through the region early on Sunday. The front will then stall just south of the region through Sunday night before slowly returning north as a warm front into Monday as high pressure builds from the west and quickly moves offshore. A slow moving frontal system then impacts the region for the mid week, before high pressure returns for next weekend. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/... Any convective activity should gradually dissipate throughout this evening with a loss of daytime heating, while the activity slowly moves east and southeast. Cannot rule out some locally heavy rain that could lead to minor poor drainage type flooding across mainly interior zones. Also a few strong wind gusts may accompany thunderstorms this evening, mainly across far northern sections before the activity weakens and dissipates. The cold front behind the pre-frontal trough moves through overnight across interior sections, and should get into and just through the city by about 9z. Much of the guidance then has the boundary clearing far eastern sections towards and just after 12z with dew points beginning to decrease across northern zones. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... The cold front that moves across Sunday will settle across the southern portion of the coastal waters, just south of the region throughout the day. Instability values do come down primarily across the board, although the HRRR does keep some CAPE leftover across far southern and southeastern parts of the CWA. The MET and MAV guidance is adamant about it remaining dry with low POPs, but there are some higher res guidance suggesting some precip activity at various times throughout the day. Therefore, thought it prudent to go with a slight chance POPs across the entire area as the front does not sufficiently clear the entire region out from the previous air mass and there may be enough with spokes of energy with the northern branch in the mid levels to trigger some showers. The best chance may be for the late morning and early afternoon, but thought it best not to get overly detailed as far as timing of any precip chances for Sunday. Weak high pressure out of the Great Lakes should begin to build in enough to keep things completely dry for Sunday night into Monday morning. This will lead to a somewhat more discernible drop in dew points / humidity levels by Monday morning. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Large scale blocking pattern with dominant high pressure over the Southwestern U.S. and the Bermuda high will place our region in a more unsettled period with a series of upper troughs and smaller scale short waves moving through. At the surface, a nearly stalled frontal boundary will quickly return north as a warm front on Monday as high pressure shifts offshore. Chances of precipitation will be the lowest Monday, with subsidence aloft and drier air overcoming any lift from the front. By Monday night into Tuesday, flow aloft becomes more west- southwesterly as upper troughs begin to phase. As a result, moisture begins to increase, with PWATs approaching two inches by Thursday. There has been some consistent consensus for the best chance of any rain and/or thunderstorms to be Wednesday and Thursday. Trended more towards the Canadian/Euro as the GFS appears to wet in the extended. There is still some uncertainty on the timing of smaller scale waves that will move through, which lowers confidence on timing of any potentially heavier periods of showers and thunderstorms, though it is likely that most will be diurnally driven. The system then finally begins to progress east of the area into the weekend. && .AVIATION /23Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... A pre frontal trough will be remain over southern New England to southeastern Pennsylvania this evening and early tonight, as a cold front slowly approaches, and moves through early Sunday morning. Will watch convection moving through portions of the interior, with KSWF, and CT terminals possibly impacted this evening. Otherwise, coverage of showers/thunderstorms should diminish as the night progresses. A few showers or thunderstorms are possible Sunday afternoon, but most areas remain dry. Winds become light tonight, and shift to light north by Sunday morning. Winds increase to 5-10 kt from the N/NW as the morning progresses, with some sea breeze development possible during the afternoon for CT terminals, KJFK and KISP. .OUTLOOK FOR 00Z MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY... .Sunday night-Monday...VFR. .Tuesday...Mainly VFR, MVFR possible late in showers and thunderstorms. .Wednesday-Thursday...Mainly VFR, MVFR possible in scattered to isolated showers and thunderstorms. && .MARINE... A weak pressure gradient through early next week will lead to sub-SCA winds and seas. South-southwest flow then becomes more persistent into the mid week as a frontal system slowly approaches the waters, allowing ocean seas to build due to the increasing swell. && .HYDROLOGY... Some localized flooding for urban and poor drainage areas is possible in associated with any thunderstorms this evening. Periods of locally heavy rainfall may be possible with thunderstorms that develop on Wednesday and Thursday, which may result in localized flooding for urban and poor drainage areas. && .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING... Some of the western south shore back bay locations will approach minor coastal flood benchmarks for the high tide cycles for this evening, and should fall just short of coastal flood benchmarks for Sunday evening. A coastal flood statement remains in effect for the Western south shore back bays for this evening. No statements for Sunday evening are planned at this time. && .EQUIPMENT... NYC NOAA Weather Radio Station KWO35 (162.55 MHz) remains off the air. && .OKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CT...None. NY...None. NJ...None.
