Severe Thunderstorm Warning 52, NWS New York, NY

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
343 PM EDT Mon Jul 6 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A back door cold front passes from the northeast this evening.
The front will return northward as a warm front on Tuesday, and
pass north by Wednesday morning. Weak high pressure will then
briefly build in through Thursday. Low pressure will then
approach from the south Friday into Saturday, followed by a
series of weak fronts moving through the area late this weekend
into early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
Tstms will continue to develop over the region over the next few
hours. The greatest risk for svr is across NJ (where there is a
watch) then into NYC, wrn LI and the Lower Hudson Valley. CIN is
gone is most of these areas, and wrn portions of NJ zones have
CAPE abv 2000. Some approaching weak upr lvl support as well as
sfc boundaries across the region should help both organization
and initiation. There is a flood threat with slow moving storms,
especially across NJ zones.

Instability weakens by late this eve due to the cooling from
tstms as well as the passage of the back door front. There could
be some residual shwrs, particular invof the front which will
not make very far from the wrn portion of the CWA. The NBM was
used for overnight lows.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
The front returns nwd on Tue as a warm front. Considerable
cloudiness is possible due to convective debris and the return
of the front. Some shwrs are possible, especially wrn areas
where there is the best convergence and some increasing
instability. Embedded tstms chances across these wrn areas in
the the aftn and eve. Shwrs and possible tstms Tue night.
Although sfc based CAPE is low, some elevated activity ahead of
the warm front possible which is why chances for tstms were
included across nrn zones.

High temps were a blend between the CONSALL and NBM. Tricky fcst
due to the cloud cover and chances for rain. Breaks could result
in a quick warmup late in the day across swrn zones. The blended
fcst is between the cooler NAM and the warmer MAV. Tue ngt temps
were the NBM.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
The region will lie on the northern edge of broad CONUS ridging
through the week. This will be a dirty ridge though, with a
weak closed low over the Mississippi River Valley early in the
week slowly shearing/lifting toward the area to end the week.
Thereafter, models with better agreement of amplifying northern
stream troughing approaching/entering the area this weekend, and
likely remaining over the area through at least early next
week. Before then, a midweek northern stream shortwave moving
through S Canada may buckle the ridge enough to provide a
trigger for afternoon diurnal convection, particularly Wed.

The warm front is expected to be north of the area by early
Wednesday morning, with some indication of an earlier mentioned
very weak shortwave/buckling of trough moving through aloft.
This may present a trigger for late afternoon/early eve isolated
to scattered convection Wed, although the focus is a bit more
vague at this point and (higher terrain, perhaps sea breeze
boundary). This warm frontal passage and SW flow will have
widespread high temps climbing into the upper 80s to lower 90s,
with widespread heat indices in mid to upper 90s degrees as
dewpoints climb into the lower 70s.

Heights continue to build on Thursday, but progress of the earlier
mentioned shearing southern closed low will have to be monitored as
it potentially starts lifting towards the Mid-Atlantic. Quite a bit
of model spread on the evolution of this feature and its associated
surface wave/low.  At this time this feature appears to be far
enough SW/S of the region on Thursday, for another hot and humid
day. Although a backing wind flow may keep coastal areas a bit
cooler than Wed. Only a conditional potential for some isolated
convection off terrain and seabreeze boundaries in a likely
unstable, but capped and weakly shear environment. If flow remains
from the S/SW widespread temps in the upper 80s to lower 90s likely
for Thursday with heat indices of 95-100 possible.

Forecast details become less certain Friday into the weekend,
dependent on the evolution of the southern low as it lifts/shears up
the coast, but confidence is increasing in a northern stream trough
amplifying down through the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley and then to the
East Coast during this time.

Considerable model spread exists on the southern low tracking up the
coast as early as Friday or as late as Saturday Night, as well as
whether it track up the coastal plain or offshore, as well as
degree of intensification, and whether it acquires any tropical
characteristics. NHC is monitoring the southern system for
potential tropical or subtropical development this week, giving
it a 30% chance over the next 5 days as it potentially emerges
off the Carolina coast. Main threat with this low at this point
would be a swath of heavy rainfall along its path as it taps
into Gulf and subtropical Atlantic moisture, but low confidence
on any details.

Better agreement that mean troughing will be sliding towards the
east coast through the weekend, with a series of surface troughs
moving through the area. Depending on timing of the southern wave,
very warm and humid conditions are likely for the weekend, with
threat of afternoon convection both days. Each successive trough
Sunday into early next week, appears to bring in slightly cooler and
drier airmass, but low predictability at this point.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A weak cold front slowly drops south, passing through the terminals
today. The boundary then returns Tuesday as a warm front.

Showers and thunderstorms this afternoon could result in brief MVFR
or lower conditions, primarily from the NYC metro terminals west.
Otherwise, VFR conditions are expected into this evening before MVFR
conditions develop at all terminals overnight. The start time of
MVFR conditions tonight could be off by 1-2 hours. MVFR conditions
are then expected to continue into Tuesday morning before gradually
improving to VFR by late morning/early afternoon.

SE to ESE winds will continue this afternoon at around 10 kt, with a
period of sustained winds 10-15 kt possible late this afternoon,
primarily at coastal terminals. Winds then gradually diminish this
evening before falling to around 5 kt overnight. ESE winds will then
increase to 5-10 kt Tuesday morning.

.OUTLOOK FOR 18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
.Tuesday afternoon-Thursday...Afternoon/evening showers and
thunderstorms possible, mainly from the NYC metros north/west.
.Friday-Saturday...MVFR or lower conditions possible in rain.
Chance Chance E-SE gusts 20-25kt.

&&

.MARINE...
Sub-SCA conditions expected through mid week though waves over
the ocean remain between 3-4 feet. SCA seas are likely Friday
into the weekend with a persistent S/SW flow and strengthening
wind fields owing to a possible coastal low nearing the region.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
There is a localized flash flood threat this aftn and eve,
mainly from wrn LI to the lower Hudson Valley and points w. Any
strong tstms that develop could be slow moving and produce areas
of flooding.

A localized urban and poor drainage flooding threat exists with any
isolated thunderstorm activity Wed and Thu, as it will be slow
moving and able to tap into a very moist environment.

There is potential for more widespread downpour/thunderstorm
activity and resultant urban and poor drainage flooding threat
during the Friday/Saturday period, but low confidence on details
at this timeframe. More details as the week progresses.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
The combination of a SE swell and high astronomical tides (full
moon) will have water levels approach minor flood thresholds
once again tonight, but they are expected to remain just below
minor flood benchmarks.

&&

.EQUIPMENT...
NYC NOAA Weather Radio Station KWO35 (162.55 MHz) is undergoing
its final stages of testing, and is operating at full power.

&&

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