Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
212 PM EDT Wed Aug 12 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A slow moving cold front will remain nearby into Thursday. The
front will then pass south Thursday night, stall to the south
weekend, then return north as a warm front early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Isolated showers/tstms developing along the sea breeze boundary
across NYC/LI early this afternoon, with scattered activity
likely to develop along CU field convergence in NE
NJ/Westchester/SW CT later this afternoon into early evening as
a shortwave trough approaches from the west to provide lift,
and in vicinity of a moderately unstable airmass. Wind fields
aloft are weak, and with OKX 12z sounding indicating PWATs of
2.1", any storms will be slow movers capable of producing
torrential rainfall. HREF still depicts greatest heavy rain
potential just north/west of NYC this afternoon in vicinity of
sea breeze and frontal boundary, but CAM's are not as bullish
on coverage of shra/tsra as they were 12 hours ago. Flash Flood
Watch remains remains in effect through 8 PM for this area, but
the threat may be a bit more muted if CAM's are trending in the
right direction.

Meanwhile, the heat advy continues for heat indices of 95-100
away from the south coasts, as temps approach 90 and dewpoints
remain in the mid to upper 70s.

Convection should quickly weaken this evening. An approaching
shortwave trough should trigger additional convection toward
daybreak.

With the front bisecting the area, temps inland should fall
into the mid/upper 60s, with lows in NYC metro and coastal
sections in the lower 70s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY/...
Another round of showers/tstms possible, through there is some
uncertainty where this will set up, with higher-res CAM's
targeting southern CT and areas just NW of NYC, while the 12-km
NAM and global models are siding more with NYC metro and Long
Island. HREF guidance suggesting coverage and intensity of
convection on Thu will both be less than that expected for
today, so any flood threat would more likely be isolated/minor.

It should not be quite as warm or humid, with high temps in the
lower/mid 80s and dewpoints in the 60s.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A frontal boundary is progged to remain nearly stationary south of
Long Island thru the weekend. Shortwave energy embedded in the flow
will provide the focus for rounds of pcpn. The trend has been a bit
further north with pcpn over the weekend. Confidence in the timing
and placement of any of these convectively induced features is very
low. Therefore, pops have capped at the chance level, and were based
on the NBM. For Fri, the NAM indicates a band of very hvy rainfall
across the area. This again is a low confidence prog however. It
does send the signal that the pattern is conducive to a swath of
very hvy rainfall in the region if the ingredients come together.
PWATS are fcst around 2 inches. A warm front is progged to impact
the area in the Mon-Tue time period, followed by a cold front. The
ECMWF is much quicker than the GFS, which has slowed from previous
runs. Pops were limited to slight chance this far out due to the
timing uncertainty. Seasonal temps are expected thru the extended.
The NBM with local adjustments was used.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A cold front will remain in the vicinity of the region this
afternoon eventually passing to the south and east this
evening.

VFR is expected through the majority of the TAF period, outside
of shower and thunderstorm activity. Showers and thunderstorms
are expected this afternoon across the NYC terminals, however
coverage will be scattered in nature. Ceilings and visibility
will be locally reduced in the vicinity of any showers or
thunderstorms due to heavy rainfall.

Some brief MVFR is possible in stratus tonight along coastal
terminals.

Thursday shower and thunderstorm coverage is uncertain but
likely to be less than this afternoon and evening.

Light and variable winds, 10 kts or less, are expected across
the area through the TAF period, but may be briefly gusty in
the vicinity of any thunderstorm or seabreeze. Coastal
seabreezes are forecast for Long Island and Connecticut making
for an onshore flow through at least 22Z.

KJFK TAF Comments: Amendments to ceilings and visibilities possible
due to the vicinity of showers and thunderstorms.

KLGA TAF Comments: Amendments to ceilings and visibilities possible
due to the vicinity of showers and thunderstorms.

KEWR TAF Comments: Amendments to ceilings and visibilities possible
due to the vicinity of showers and thunderstorms.

KTEB TAF Comments: Amendments to ceilings and visibilities possible
due to the vicinity of showers and thunderstorms.

KHPN TAF Comments: Amendments to ceilings and visibilities
possible due to the vicinity of showers and thunderstorms.

KISP TAF Comments: Amendments to ceilings and visibilities possible
due to the vicinity of showers and thunderstorms.

.OUTLOOK FOR 18Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
.Thursday...Chance of showers and thunderstorms with MVFR or lower
conditions. Coastal IFR conditions possible Thursday night.
.Friday...Chance of showers and thunderstorms with MVFR conditions.
.Saturday through Monday...MVFR with a slight chance of
showers.

&&

.MARINE...
Marine fog could be an issue over the ocean and for portions of
the eastern Long Island Sound tonight. No advisories have been
issued as of yet but will have to monitor closely for
development.

Winds and seas should remain blw sca lvls Thu into Fri. Increased
ely flow behind a cold front could then produce sca conditions,
especially on the ocean, late Fri into Mon.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Flash flood watch issued for areas just NW of NYC, where CAM's
suggest greatest heavy rainfall potential with any slow moving
tstms this afternoon as PW hold close to 2 inches just ahead of
the front. That said, interaction of the sea breeze with the
approaching front and/or tstm outflow boundaries will continue
to spark isolated storms capable of heavy rainfall for LI/NYC
(likely the upper boroughs as the sea breeze pushes inland),
and also across southern CT.

There is a low chance that another round of hvy rain could
develop within the Thu-Sat time frame due to the stalled front
and deep moisture, but confidence in this is still low attm.
