Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
921 AM EST Fri Jan 28 2022
.SYNOPSIS...
A weakening cold front approaches from the northwest today.
Low pressure then develops off the Carolina coast Friday night
and then rapidly deepens through Saturday night as it tracks
east of New England. High pressure then builds from the west
Sunday into early next week. High pressure returns Sunday and
continues into early next week. A low pressure and associated
fronts approach the region toward the end of the period.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Forecast is mainly on track this morning with minor updates to
reflect current observations. KOKX radar is showing some light
returns over northeast NJ. But with sfc dewpoint depressions in
the 15-20 degree range, it does not appear to be reaching the
ground. Have adjusted PoPs and wx grids to reflect this.
A leading northern stream upper trough and shortwave will move
into eastern Canada early this morning. The shortwave will be
accompanied by a cold front, however, with the trough well to
the north during Friday, the cold front will weakening as it
moves over the region.
Forecast guidance is showing some light snow possible during the day
today with this feature. However, there isn't much moisture to work
with and lift remains fairly weak. As a result, will continue to
carry low chance POPs.
Highs today will be in the lower to mid 30s.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
***High Impact Coastal System Expected This Weekend***
Attention then turns to the system that will impact the area late
tonight into Saturday afternoon. Confidence is higher tonight that a
strong area of low pressure will impact the area over the next few
days, bringing heavy snow, strong and gusty winds and coastal
flooding. Model spread has decreased somewhat since this time last
night, however, and there has been a westward shift in the track of
the sfc/700mb low for some of the model systems that have remained
well east of the 40/70 benchmark.
Model guidance is in good agreement, generally, that upper ridging
builds over the western CONUS as PAC NW energy is shunted down over
the central Plains within a broader longwave trough over the east.
The trough deepens tonight over the OH Valley, becomes negatively
titled by Saturday morning, over the Mid Atlantic, and closes off
just east of Long Island by late Saturday. In fact, a dual jet
structure is noted at 250/300mb as the low closes off,
characteristic of heavy northeast snowfall events. With all this in
mind, the ingredients are set for a significant northeast snowfall
event.
Surface low pressure still progged to develop off the southeast
coast and deepen this evening as it moves northeast into Saturday.
The deterministic models and their respective ensembles have jogged
back west overnight, including the GFS and GEFS, which in previous
cycles had been clustered on the eastern end of the track envelope.
There is better consensus now of a track south and east of Long
Island just southeast of the 40/70 benchmark.
With the continued shift back to the west, and resultant QPF has
increased slightly overall especially across southern CT and Long
Island, with a widespread 1-1.5 inches here, and less than an inch
from NYC north and west. A model consensus was used for QPF, minus
the 00Z NAM. As a result, have increased snow amounts across the
board, with 12-16" across Long Island and southeast CT, 8-10" for
NYC and southwestern CT, and 3-6" elsewhere. It should be noted
that an area of mesoscale snow banding is highly likely with
this system, especially across eastern sections of the CWA.
Within this zone, higher snowfall is possible along with
enhanced snowfall rates of 1-3" per hour for a few hours. Recent
CAMs are highlighting eastern LI and extreme SE CT as having
the highest probability of occurrence of these bands pivoting
near the upper low. Of course, should later guidance continue to
shift west, this threat would also shift west.
Have converted all winter weather watches to warnings,
and issued a winter weather advisory for Orange County, NY with all
this in mind. In addition, have elected to hold off on any blizzard
headlines at this time for eastern LI and southern CT, the areas
that are most likely to meet blizzard criteria. Given the increased
forecast confidence in only these latest runs, would prefer one more
cycle for that upgrade. Regardless, near blizzard conditions are
possible for eastern LI and southern CT for a period on Saturday
afternoon with this system.
Winds will also be an issue as the system nears the area as strong
northeast flow dominates as the system deepens in our vicinity. Gusts
to 35-45 mph are likely for a period Saturday afternoon, especially
for the coastal areas, where occasionally higher gusts are possible.
So near blizzard conditions are possible, especially near the coast,
where winds/gusts will be most frequent.
Snow will begin to taper by Saturday afternoon from west to east,
with cold air advecting in behind the system. Temps on Sat from
the upper teens to mid 20s early Sat morning should steadily
fall during the late morning and afternoon, and lows Sat night
should be in the single digits and teens, with a gusty NW flow
producing wind chills as low as 5 below in the NYC metro
area/coast, and around 10 below inland.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
No significant changes made in the long term overnight.
Conditions dry on Sunday as our storm system continues into the
Canadian Maritimes. Winds will remain on the breezy side,
particularly early in the day, with a tight pressure gradient as the
storm departs. The unseasonably cold air also remains, with a fresh
snowpack helping to limit surface heating during the afternoon.
An upper trough axis swings through on Monday with limited moisture,
so another dry day is anticipated with high temperatures near
the freezing mark. Heights begin to rise on Tuesday as ridging
builds across the Eastern US and temperatures climb above normal
into midweek.
PoPs increase on Wednesday with a storm system and its associated
fronts approaching the region. Moisture convergence along the
cold front should allow for a period of precipitation as it
moves through toward mid-to-late next week. While specifics like
timing and amounts will still need to be resolved, the building
ridge and onshore flow ahead of the system should allow for a
wet, rather than white, event for the entire region. Capped PoPs
at chance for now, given the temporal and spatial disagreement.
Otherwise, stuck close to the NBM for this update.
&&
.AVIATION /14Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
*High Impact Coastal System Expected Friday Night and Saturday*
A weakening cold moves into the area today. A coastal storm
approaches later today into tonight.
VFR with local MVFR in light snow for the first part of the
day, then cigs are expected to lower to MVFR conditions across
the area early this afternoon. Some light snow or snow showers
remain possible into the afternoon today. Will cover this with
a VCSH this afternoon as confidence of occurrence remains lower.
There may be a brief improvement to VFR towards 22-00z but cigs
will lower right back down to MVFR as the coastal storm starts
to move towards the region. For the city terminals snow from
the coastal storm develops towards 03-05z and gradually
increases in intensity through the morning hours. Winds will
also gradually increase overnight into Saturday morning, with
gusts into the 30kt range. After 12z, gusts at the NYC terminals
could reach 40-45kt.
...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty...
Amendments likely for light snow / snow showers and changing
flight categories.
.OUTLOOK FOR 12Z SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
.Saturday...IFR or lower in snow. N winds increasing to around
20kt with gusts 30 to 45 kt. Gusts may be higher east of NYC.
LLWS possible, mainly east of NYC.
Expected Runway Accumulations:
KJFK/KLGA/KEWR/KTEB/KHPN/KBDR: 7-12 inches.
KISP/KGON: 12-16 inches.
KSWF: 3-5 inches
.Sunday night...Snow ending, becoming VFR. gusts into the 20kt
range.
.Sunday...VFR. NW gusts to 25kt possible AM.
.Monday...VFR with light winds.
.Tuesday...Mainly VFR.

&&
.MARINE...
Sub SCA conditions are expected on all waters through today.
Low pressure develops off the Carolina coast and rapidly deepens
while tracking to the north Friday night. As the low approaches,
winds and seas will be increasing on the ocean waters, reaching SCA
levels early Friday evening. By late Friday night gale gusts will
become likely on the ocean waters, and a gale warning is in effect.
Across the non ocean waters SCA conditions will be likely, with the
potential for gale gusts across the eastern Sound and eastern bays
toward Saturday morning. A SCA is n effect late Friday night for the
non ocean waters.
Given the westward shift in the model trends this cycle, have
upgraded the storm watch for the ocean waters and eastern LI marine
zone with NE-N winds gusting 50-55 kt. Gales should continue Sat
night on all waters as winds back NW and slowly diminish.
Marginal SCA conditions are expected on the ocean waters Sunday,
slowly improving through the day. Sub-SCA conditions are expected
through the first part of the new week.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
No hydrologic impacts are expected through Friday.
A strong low pressure system passing offshore could bring
significant precipitation to the area Friday night into Saturday
night.
No additional hydrologic impacts are expected into next week.
River ice continues to increase due to the persistent cold. The
Wallkill River at Gardiner may be impacted by ice.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
The 50-75th percentile of the Stevens is preferred for this surge
forecast for most of the forecast area due to its forcing by a 100
member multi-model ensemble.
N/NNE winds are not ideal for major surge events, but combined with
wave action, potential for minor to locally moderate coastal impacts
exists for the vulnerable north shore communities of the twin forks
of LI and north shore of LI for the Sat AM high tide cycle, with
less of a threat for the Sat PM and Sun AM high tides. After
collaboration with WFO BOX, have decided to hold off an any
headlines and assess the next guidance cycle with the threat over
the Twin Forks region still 3 cycles away. With that said, there is
a good chance of at least widespread minor coastal flooding here Sat
AM, and trends will be monitored for a potential need for any
warnings here. Based on climatology with this setup, isolated
moderate flooding here would be more likely versus widespread.
Trend has been upward for the threat of minor coastal flooding for
the south shore back bays of Nassau and Queens for the Saturday
morning high tide cycle. Somewhat less of a chance and probably just
localized minor flooding is expected for coastal Westchester and
coastal Fairfield Counties. Would like to wait another guidance
cycle to see trends before settling on any other potential headlines.
Otherwise for the Sat AM cycle, statements for isolated minor
flooding could be needed - then less likely for the for Saturday PM
cycle.
For the Sunday AM high tide cycle, focus shifts more toward the
south shore back bays of Queens and Nassau County. Guidance suggests
a little better of a chance for widespread minor coastal flooding
here vs Saturday despite NW flow, due to Ekman pumping. Elsewhere on
Sunday, not expecting any flooding, but maybe some locations along
the north shore of LI could approach minor benchmarks due to piling.
In terms of shoreline impacts, ocean surf should build to 4 to
8 ft Sat PM into Sun AM, with scattered dune erosion impacts for
Sun AM high tide. With orthogonal swell energy and water levels
limited, the beachfront washover threat appears to be low and
localized. 3 to 5 ft surf likely for north shore of LI and north
shore of south fork shorefront with Sat AM and PM tides, which
will likely cause beach erosion and possibly minor damage to
shoreline structures.
