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 Jan 15, 1:30 AM EST, 2 hours 9 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 15, 1:30 AM EST, 2 hours 9 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
130 AM EST Wed Jan 15 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A weak trough of low pressure moves east overnight. High
pressure then builds in for Wednesday. Low pressure passing to
the north drags a couple of frontal boundaries across the area
Wednesday night. Canadian high pressure builds in for Thursday
through Friday. A complex frontal system will impact the area
late Saturday and Saturday night. Arctic high pressure builds in
for Sunday into the beginning of next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
Issued SPS for the entire area to address localized fog with
some observations indicating visibilities down to a quarter
mile, and a half mile at times. Otherwise some minor changes
made to temperatures, dew points, and sky coverage to reflect
current observations and trends.

Mid level shortwave lift and weak trough exit east overnight.
Light rain shower and drizzle activity will continue to push
offshore, with mid-level drying gradually working toward the
low-levels from west to east overnight.

Winds remain light overnight, and with residual low level
moisture in place, and partial clearing overnight, expecting
patchy/areas of fog to develop. Fog could be locally dense.
There is also potential of patchy freezing fog and/or black ice
across the interior, which has been highlighted in HWO. If
confidence increases and SPS may be issued.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
High pressure builds in on Wednesday with a mostly sunny day, but
maybe with a partly to mostly cloudy start to the day. High
temperatures will be around 10 degrees above normal.

Low pressure shifting east from the Great Lakes Region then moves
through central to northern New York State Wednesday night. This
will push a warm front across our area with a cold front not too far
behind. Moisture doesn't look particularly deep, but should be
enough with the given lift for at least some areas picking up some
PCPN. Left PoPs capped in the chance category for now, but may need
to eventually bump some areas up to likely. PCPN type appears to be
rain for the most part given boundary layer temps and the magnitude
of an elevated warm layer. There will however be a chance of sleet
mixing in at the start for the northern fringe zones in the
evening. Temps then warm up aloft with a warm front, so the
PCPN type would be rain across the entire forecast area
overnight.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
This time frame starts off with surface low pressure pushing away
from the east coast and Canadian high pressure building in. There
may be some lingering rain showers for eastern areas, such as the
Twin Forks of Long Island and southeastern Connecticut in the
morning.

Incoming 1040+ mb high and strengthening departing low will create
windy conditions on Thursday. Northwest winds of 20 to 30 mph
sustained are expected, with up to 35 mph for eastern Long Island
possible. Gusts of 35 to 45 mph are forecast, with the potential for
up to 50 mph for eastern Long Island. Right now, most of the area
looks to be below Wind Advisory criteria, except perhaps the Twin
Forks. Will continue to monitor for the possibility of Wind Advisory.

Temperatures will fall, generally in the afternoon on Thursday, as
strong cold advection gets underway. Non-diurnal temperature trend
expected, with temperatures dropping into the middle 30s to lower
40s before sunset. Overnight lows Thursday night into Friday will be
in the teens to middle 20s. This is not a particularly good night
for radiational cooling as it will be windy and at least some clouds
will be around.

Dry and cold conditions are in store for Friday, with highs only
reaching the middle 20s to lower 30s, possibly not reaching the
freezing mark (32 degrees) for most, if not the entire area.

High pressure moves over the region Friday night, with less in the
way of winds, and clear skies, this seems a better night for
radiational cooling, and lows may actually end up a few degrees
colder than what is currently forecast: teens to lower 20s.

High pressure pushes offshore Saturday morning, allowing for an a
frontal system from the mid-West to approach. Precipitation quickly
moves in, with chances for precipitation increasing from morning
onward, becoming definite by the afternoon.

With cold conditions in place, it appears that the precipitation
will start off as snow everywhere, even along the coast. The track
of the low has been pretty consistent, taking it well north and west
of the forecast area, over the Great Lakes and into northern New
England. Therefore, a changeover is likely if this track continues.
A quick changeover to a rain/snow mix is forecast for Long Island
and New York City by late afternoon, and plain rain by sunset
Saturday. The rain snow line will move north through Saturday night,
with the potential of some freezing rain mixing in with the snow for
western Orange County, which is the only part of the forecast area
that may not changeover completely to rain. There is a lot of
uncertainty still, given the unknown exact track and how cold the
incoming airmass really is before it departs.

Thereafter, a prolonged period of below normal weather is store,
with highs not getting out of the 20s by Tuesday of next week, as
another strong arctic high pressure builds in from Sunday
onward.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Weak low pressure passes east of Long Island early this
morning, high pressure builds in today, with a weak low pressure
moving across tonight.

IFR/LIFR conditions in drizzle and should improve from w to e
btwn 6-9Z. Some patchy fog is possible to linger for outlying
terminals until around daybreak. Conditions become VFR for
morning push, and continue through evening push.

Light and variable winds becoming W/NW around 10 kt for morning push
with occasional gusts 15-20 kt possible. Winds generally hovering
between 290 and 310 true on Wed, with a slight predominance to the
left of 300 true likely. Winds subside for evening push, gradually
turning S 5 kt or less.

.OUTLOOK FOR 06Z THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
.Late Tonight...Chance of rain with MVFR. S/SW winds 10-15 kt for
south coastal terminals. Occasional gusts to 20 kt possible
heading into morning push.
.Thursday...VFR with NW winds 20-30 kt gusting 35-40 kt. A few snow
showers with brief MVFR/IFR conds possible.
.Friday...VFR. NW 10-15kt gusting 20-25kt.
.Saturday...IFR possible snow changing to rain for most terminals.
.Sunday...Becoming VFR and windy.

&&

.MARINE...
Winds increase to marginal SCA on the ocean late tonight into
early Wednesday morning as high pressure builds in, but then
subside in the afternoon as the high pressure ridge axis shifts
through. Winds pick up again late Wednesday night ahead of the
next system with SCA conds possible at least on the ocean late
at night. Will hold off on issuing SCAs with this being a short-
lived late third period event quickly ramping up to Gales
Thursday morning.

Gale force winds expected on Thursday as strengthening incoming high
pressure and strengthening departing low pressure increases the
pressure gradient over the coastal waters. A Gale Watch has been
issued from 7 am Thursday through 1 pm Friday as northwest winds
gusts to 35 to 45 kt. Ocean waters will see the higher gusts closer
to 45 kt. Winds start to diminish Thursday afternoon, but will do so
slowly through Friday morning.

Waves will build during this timeframe as well, from 4 to 6 ft on
the ocean waters Thursday morning, to 5 to 9 ft on the ocean waters
by late Thursday into Thursday night. 5 ft waves are possible in the
eastern sound. Waves diminish Thursday night, but don't drop below 5
ft until early Friday night on the ocean.

Gales are also possible late Saturday night into Sunday as another
departing low and incoming high increase the pressure gradient.
Waves build to 5+ ft late Saturday.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
No hydrologic impacts are expected through Friday.

0.50" to 0.75" of liquid equivalent is possible with the system
forecast to impact the area Saturday and Saturday night. This should
cause no hydrologic problems.

&&

.EQUIPMENT...
NYC NOAA Weather Radio Station KWO35 (162.55 MHz) is still
operating at reduced power.
