Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
924 AM EST Thu Dec 17 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will pass south and then east of Long Island
today. High pressure will then build in from the west through
the first half of the weekend before moving offshore late in the
day Saturday. A series of weak disturbances will then move
across the area Sunday and Monday, followed by a stronger cold
frontal passage Monday night into Tuesday. High pressure will
briefly return for the middle of next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Low pressure now south of Long Island, will continues to slide
eastward today. The bulk of the precipitation has come to an
end, however the region continues to see areas of slim bands of
moderate precipitation moving across portions of the area. Will
continue to keep the winter storm warnings up with the frozen
precip continuing. One place, that has warmed quite a bit is the
south fork of Long Island, where temperatures are in the upper
30s and lower 40s, with areas of moderate to locally heavy rain.
Temperatures are expected to fall back to near freezing, with
some areas seeing a change over back to a frozen or wintry mix.
Because of this, have not dropped the winter headlines across
eastern Suffolk.

The precipitation should end from southwest to northeast from
mid morning through early to mid afternoon. Not looking at any
additional significant snowfall, but some locations could pick
up another inch or two, depending on where any heavier
precipitation occurs.

NE winds could gust to 35-45 mph across much of the area early
this morning, but will slowly decrease through the day.

Highs today will be in the upper 20s to middle 30s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
Winds will gradually diminish tonight as the low continues to
move east away from the area. With a fresh snowpack, lows will
range from the lower teens across typically cooler interior
locations to the low 20s along the coast. High pressure will
keep conditions dry on Friday.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Not a whole lot of change in the global models from what we saw
24 hours ago. A progressive, yet amplified upper flow will
feature ridging building in from the west Friday night into
Saturday with a broad upper trough reestablishing itself across
the NE quarter of the CONUS Sunday into early next week.

At the surface, high pressure settles over the area late Friday
night into Saturday morning before moving offshore late in the
day. Late Saturday night into Monday, a disjointed upper trough
will send a series of weak shortwaves into the area with a low
chance for light precipitation to the NW of NYC late Saturday
night into the first half of Sunday. It looks cold enough for
for light snow shower activity with little or no accumulation
expected. A cold front will then move across the area Tuesday
morning with some cooler air gradually filtering in through
Wednesday morning. The cold frontal passage looks to be dry, but
a rain or snow shower across the hills well north and west of
NYC is not out of the question.

Temperatures will gradually moderate through the period, with
readings 5 to 10 degrees below normal at the start, to slightly
above normal by early next week. Following a cold frontal
passage Tuesday morning, temperatures will return to near normal
Tuesday night and Wednesday.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Low pressure southeast of Long Island continues to track east
today. High pressures builds in from the west tonight.

Light to moderate snow will continue this morning. The snow
then ends late this morning from west and south (around 17Z for
the metro terminals), to north and east (around 21Z for eastern
terminals).

Conditions will be varying early this morning, with IFR to LIFR
in snow and blowing snow, improving to MVFR as the snow becomes
light, and then ends. Conditions improve to VFR by late this
afternoon. There is uncertainty as to the timing of the
improvement.

Winds N 15-25G25-35kt, gusting briefly as high as 40kt along the
coast this morning. Winds and gusts then begin to gradually
diminish mid morning through the afternoon with the gusts ending
late. Northerly winds 10kt or less will continue through the
remainder of the forecast.

 ...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty...

Amendments will continue this morning for changing flight
categories, IFR/LIFR improving to MVFR. Wind gusts early this
morning may be as high as 40kt. Snow ending this morning. Low
confidence forecast with flight categories and timing of the
precipitation ending.

.OUTLOOK FOR 12Z FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
.Friday-Saturday...VFR.
.Sunday...Possibly MVFR at times with snow showers.
.Monday...VFR.

Detailed information, including hourly TAF wind component forecasts,
can be found at: http:/www.weather.gov/zny/n90

&&

.MARINE...
Low pressure will pass over the waters today.

Storm Warnings continue on the ocean waters with gusts 50-55 kt
expected early this morning. Elsewhere, gale warnings remain in
effect, with winds expected to gust to around 40 kt. In
addition, seas will continue to build, with 15-20 ft seas
this morning and 3-7 ft on the Long Island Sound.

Winds will gradually diminish during the day today, falling
below SCA criteria on all waters by Thursday night, although
ocean seas will continue to remain elevated.

Northerly winds will continue to diminish Friday with high
pressure building across the waters into Saturday. The high
builds offshore late Saturday with a weak return flow into early
next week. Sub SCA conditions are then forecast into early next
week.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
The on going winter storm will bring liquid equivalent
precipitation totals of 1-1.5 inches through this morning. Any
melting should be slow as high temperatures remain below 40
until the weekend.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Storm surge will likely settle back to 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 ft during the
times of high tide this morning and afternoon as winds shift to the
north. These water levels, during a higher astronomical tide this
morning and early afternoon, will bring potential for more
widespread minor to moderate coastal impacts. Highest probability of
widespread moderate coastal flood impacts (2 to locally 3 ft
inundation) is along vulnerable south shore bays of LI and Queens
with limited tidal drainage. Most other coastal locations except for
coastlines of Bronx, Northern Queens as well as Southeast CT are
expected to experience widespread minor coastal flooding with high
tide cycles with mostly up to around 1 ft of inundation with some
localized potential of up to 2 ft inundation. The surge forecast
remains close to deterministic surge guidance and NYHOPS weighted
mean, with expectation of wind shifting to a less conducive N flow
for surge.
