Area forecast discussion, Jan 28, 12:32 AM EST, 2 hours 49 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
1232 AM EST Fri Jan 28 2022
.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure moves off the northeast coast tonight into Friday.
A weakening cold front approaches from the northwest during
Friday. Meanwhile, low pressure develops off the Carolina coast
late Friday and then rapidly deepens through Saturday night as
it tracks east of New England. 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 /THROUGH TODAY/...
Forecast is on track this morning. Have adjusted temps and dew
points to better match current obs. Lingering cloud cover over
Long Island has prevented temperatures from dropping off too
much in most places through the first half of the night, thus
bumped up overnight lows in these areas.
A leading northern stream upper trough and shortwave approach
tonight, moving into eastern Canada by 12Z Friday. Meanwhile,
another shortwave will be moving into the upper trough late
tonight, allowing the trough to amplify. The initial shortwave
will be accompanied by a cold front, however, with the trough
well to the north during Friday, the cold front will be
weakening, becoming more of a surface trough by Friday
afternoon. While there is some moisture with the frontal.trough
boundary, lift is weak, and not in the ideal snow growth zone.
As result, there will be a slight chance of light snow, or snow
showers with the trough during Friday.
By early Friday evening the upper trough will become more
amplified and will be into the southeast. Surface low pressure
begins to develop off the Carolina coast and rapidly deepen. The
front will be interacting with the developing low and light snow
will become likely by late Friday night.
Rapid deepening of the low continues late Friday night with the
low off the mid Atlantic. Strong lift and mainly in the snow
growth zone will allow for the snow to begin to become moderate
toward Saturday morning.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
Complex scenario involving the large winter storm forecast to
develop off the East Coast on Saturday. NWP guidance coming into
clearer focus regarding the multiple shortwaves involved in
carving out the deep closed low over the eastern US on Fri
night, one from near the Four Corners region and nrn stream
energy across central and northern Canada, inducing rapid
development of a weak sfc low already in place E of Florida. As
far as global models go, ECMWF is quicker to phase a final
potent shortwave diving out of central Canada than the GFS,
leading to formation of a closed low over VA/NC more quickly Fri
night, and a low track closer to the coast daytime Sat. GFS
placement of its sfc low looks too far east given placement of
its own potent forcing aloft as well. A slight westward trend
also noted in the 12Z guidance, and as a result have increased
snowfall amts an inch or two, using a 2:1 blend of non-GFS
guidance with the previous forecast to maintain some continuity.
This warrants expansion of winter storm watches back a little
farther into most of the west of the CWA, including all zones
except Orange and W Passaic.
As previously mentioned, a dual upper jet structure at
250/300mb as the upper low closes off will be present, a
characteristic of heavy Northeast snowfall events. With high
pressure to the north and cold air in place, the ingredients are
set for a significant snowfall event for parts of the Northeast
this weekend.
The initial surface low off the SE coast will rapidly deepen E
of NC late Fri night into daytime Sat, passing S of the 40N/70W
benchmark while moving NE, but then cutting back N as the sfc
low occludes and develops a warm seclusion (another feature not
early as prominent in the GFS, also suggesting its sfc low
position may be too far east).
Strongest H-7 frontogenetic forcing NW of the low will likely
move into Long Island and CT from the south Sat morning and then
pivot before moving E later in the day, leading to snowfall
totals of about 10-14 inches over this area. Farther to the
west, totals should drop off to 6-10 inches across western Long
Island/CT, and then about 5-7 inches in areas north/west of NYC.
Winds will also be an issue as the system nears the area on
Saturday as strong NE-NE flow dominates. Gusts 45-55 mph are
likely for a period Saturday afternoon across ern Long Island
and SE CT, which combined with expected duration of heavy snow,
could lead to blizzard conditions, and 40-45 mph farther west,
with near blizzard conditions across western Long Island and
much of the rest of southern CT.
Snow will begin to taper off during 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/...
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 /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A weakening cold front approaches overnight. A coastal storm
approaches later today into Friday night.
VFR for the overnight, with MVFR ceilings possible by late
morning towards 15z or so. Prevailing MVFR conditions are more
likely closer to 17-18z for the city terminals. Some light snow
/ snow showers is possible and was handled with PROB30 for now
as confidence of occurrence remains low at this time. A brief
improvement to VFR is likely towards 22-0z, but MVFR may linger
as confidence remains low as much of Friday afternoon and
evening will be on the line between MVFR and VFR. For the city
terminals snow from the coastal storm develops towards 4-6z. The
timing of the onset of snow developing Friday night is low
confidence.
Winds will be light overnight, then W by Friday morning. Winds
then turn N by 21z Friday. The winds start to increase late
Friday night.
...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty...
Amendments are possible approaching towards 12z Fri with the low
chance of light snow / snow showers developing which could result in
a change in flight category.
.OUTLOOK FOR 06Z SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
.Friday night...Snow develops late with mostly MVFR conditions,
with IFR conditions likely towards morning.
.Saturday...Snow develops late Friday night with IFR or lower
conditions. N winds increasing to around 20G with gusts 30 to 40 kt.
Still some uncertainty, but there is the potential for runway snow
accumulations of 6-9 inches mainly from the city terminals and
greater than 9 inches for eastern terminals. Stronger winds are
possible too, with LLWS.
.Sunday...Becoming VFR. NW gusts to 25kt possible AM.
.Monday...VFR with light winds.
Detailed information, including hourly TAF wind component forecasts,
can be found at: https:/www.weather.gov/zny/n90
&&
.MARINE...
Winds and seas will remain below SCA levels across the
forecast waters tonight through Friday evening. As a low develops
off the Carolina coast and rapidly deepens while tracking to
the north Friday night, winds and seas will be increasing on the
ocean waters, reaching SCA levels early Friday evening. By late
Friday night gale gusts will likely on the ocean waters, and a
gale waring 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.
Then given a forecast position of the intense sfc low closer to
the area on Sat, have issued a storm watch for the ocean waters
for daytime Sat, for NE-N winds gusting 50-55 kt, highest east.
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.
&&
.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.
River ice continues to increase due to the persistent cold. The
Wallkill River at Gardiner may be impacted by ice.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
The 75th percentile of the Stevens is preferred for this surge
forecast due to its forcing by a 100 member multi-model
ensemble. The GFS based ETSS and ESTOFS are likely too low
based on the eastern most storm track of the GFS.
N/NNE winds are not ideal for major surge events, but combined
with wave action, potential for minor to locally moderate
coastal impacts exits for the vulnerable north shore communities
of the twin forks of LI, north shore of LI, and north facing
LI barrier island communities for the Sat AM/PM, and Sun AM
high tides. Elsewhere generally just localized minor coastal
impacts during Sat AM/PM high tides due to strong northerly
flow.
Sunday AM high tides may be the highest water levels,
particularly in the bay areas despite NW flow, due to Ekman
pumping. More widespread minor impacts possible for south shore
bay areas of LI with this tide.
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.
