What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this winter storm 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 winter storm warning went out at Mar 13, 1:44 AM EDT, 2 hours 14 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 13, 1:44 AM EDT, 2 hours 14 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
144 AM EDT Mon Mar 13 2023
.SYNOPSIS...
A coastal storm will affect the region from late this overnight
through Tuesday. Strong low pressure spins over the New England
coast before pushing east Wednesday into Wednesday night. High
pressure builds in from the west Thursday into Thursday night
and then moves off the Southeast US coast Friday. A frontal
system from the west approaches Friday night and passes through
on Saturday, followed by weak high pressure on Sunday.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
Just tweaked up PoPs slightly by about 10 to 15 percent across
western most areas for the pre- dawn hours, otherwise fcst
remains on track. Previous discussion follows.
High pressure over New England will retreat into the Canadian
Maritimes tonight. This will allow a weakening low pressure
system from the eastern Great Lakes to approach. Meanwhile, low
pressure over the southeast US pushes offshore. Aloft, a trough
over the Great Lakes also approaches. Any precipitation should
be light and mainly after 6z, with chances of precipitation
increasing as the overnight progresses into the pre-dawn hours,
though eastern areas should remain dry throughout.
Precipitation should start off as all snow across portions the
Lower Hudson Valley, with plain rain across much of Northeast
New Jersey and into New York City. Only very minor, if any
accumulation at all expected.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
As the trough continues its approach, the low over the Great
Lakes continues to weaken, as the low off the Southeast US
becomes the primary low, still situated well south of the area
by the end of the day Monday. An inverted trough develops and
stretches north into the Northeast US. This will be the focus
for some more moderate to heavy precipitation late in the day
Monday into Monday night. There area indications in the
deterministic models that another low pressure may form along
this boundary, which will further aid in lift, and thus heavy
precipitation. Additionally, the upper trough strengthens into a
closed low, aiding in strengthening the surface low or lows.
The primary surface low will south and east of the area, though
there is still a fair amount uncertainty in the exact track,
leading to uncertainty in precipitation amounts. Most models
take the track of this primary low (that strengthens to ~980 mb
to ~985 mb) over or east of the 40N/70W benchmark sometime
Tuesday morning. The weaker secondary low track over Long
Island. The primary low pivots northeast around the secondary
toward the Gulf of Maine (or near Cape Cod) by the end of the
day Tuesday.
The trend with the track however, has been farther south and
east, meaning a colder solution and therefore more in the way of
snow, even along the coast. Much of the area will see plain
rain for Monday, with perhaps a rain/snow mix across the higher
elevation inland. As the low tracks east of the area, and
strengthens, strong cold air advection will ensue, allowing a
changeover to snow from northwest to southeast late Monday night
into Tuesday morning. This time frame is also a period of when
the heavier precipitation is expected. Heavy snow is expected
across the interior, while there will be heavy rain for the
coast.
By early Tuesday morning, the changeover continues, even towards
coastal areas, but by this point, the heavier precipitation will
have ended. This changeover continues moving south and east.
The snowfall forecast will be quite challenging as accumulating
snowfall is possible, even along the coast. Some of the main
challenges will be where the exactly the low tracks and how
strong will it be (a weaker low will not bring in the colder
air, just as a low closer to the coast will also mean a warmer
solution), how much the March sun angle will aid in melting the
snow as it falls (which will mean a snow ratio much less than
10:1), and the possibility of a deformation band developing and
where it sets up which is being advertised in some of the
mesoscale models.
Despite these uncertainties, it was prudent to increase snow
totals, with close to a foot across western Orange County.
However, much of the rest of the Lower Hudson Valley, and
portions of northeast New Jersey and inland southwest
Connecticut are expected to see 6 to 10 inches of snow. Have
added western Bergen, Rockland, northern Westchester, and
northern New Haven to the Winter Storm Watches. However, held
off on converting any watches to warnings given uncertainty.
Right now, 1 to 3 inches of snow is possible for the coast,
including New York City. Most of the ensembles show this range. There
is the possibility of seeing more snow, with advisory level
snow not out of the question. A reasonable high end for New York
City is around 6 inches, though this is an outlier right now.
With a strengthening low, winds will also be strong. Eastern
areas, such as the Twin Forks of Long Island and southeastern
Connecticut are approaching Wind Advisory criteria (46 mph gusts and
higher). Gusts of 40 to 45 mph are more likely, with isolated
gusts to 50 mph.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
The storm slowly shifts east during Tuesday night into Wednesday
morning with a gusty NW flow, but short of wind advisory criteria.
Snow ends in most spots by daybreak, but lingering chances remain
over the easternmost zones Wednesday morning. Deep-layered ridging
then follows in the afternoon through Thursday, with the center of
high pressure shifting off the Carolina coast Thursday night. Dry
weather for this period, with high temperatures below normal on
Wednesday and closer to normal on Thursday.
Low pressure shifts through the Great Lakes Region on Friday. A
secondary low may then form along an associated warm front and pass
through or nearby the forecast area during Saturday. This brings us
a chance of rain or rain showers during this period with the best
chances appearing to be Friday night into Saturday morning. Will cap
PoPs at chance for the time being until confidence in timing
increases. Highs mostly 50-55 for both days. The low pressure system
then heads NE for Sunday with high pressure trying to build in from
the west. The flow may still be cyclonic aloft in the morning with a
chance of a surface trough shifting through. Will go with a dry
forecast as winds will likely be in a downsloping direction. Highs
in the 40s.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Low pressure tracks towards the area tonight and deepens over
the Atlantic Monday night into Tuesday.
Any VFR conditions tonight lower to MVFR or IFR through 12Z.
Ceilings will then hold steady or drop slowly through the day.
Light precipitation works in from the west toward daybreak,
starting off as snow for KSWF, and a rain/snow mix for KHPN,
with mainly rain across NYC terminals. All terminals become
plain rain by 15Z. KGON could stay dry through much of Monday.
Rain increases in intensity after 00Z Tue with widespread IFR
localized LIFR. The precipitation could begin to change to snow
after 00Z for northernmost terminals first. All snow expected
at KSWF by 6Z Tuesday. Snow may begin to mix in with the rain
for the coastal and NYC terminals 9-12Z Tuesday. Exact timing of
snow mix depends on the exact track and intensity of the
system.
SE winds generally less than 10 kt, back to the E overnight,
increasing to around 10 kt with G15-20kt possible by late Monday
morning, especially at the coastal terminals. Winds increase
after 00Z Tue and begin to back to the N. Winds become NW and
increase after 6Z Tuesday.
...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty...
Timing of initial precipitation and changing flight categories into
Monday morning could be off by a few hours. In the 18-00Z
period, IFR could be more intermittent with category fluctuating
between MVFR and IFR. Timing of snow mixing in with the rain
Tuesday morning may be off by a few hours.
OUTLOOK FOR 06Z TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
Mon Late Night...IFR. Mainly RA, transitioning to SN from NW to
SE to the north and west of NYC. E winds, becoming NE and
strengthening to 15-20 kt with gusts 25-35 kt by 12Z Tue.
Highest winds and gusts along the coast.
Tue...MVFR to IFR. Possible sub-IFR at times. Mainly SN at KSWF with
a rain/snow mix elsewhere. Transition to snow from west to east,
becoming all snow by Tue night. NW winds 15-25 kt with gusts 25 to
35 kt. Some gusts up to 40 kt. Strongest winds and gusts at the
coastal terminals.
Wed...Becoming VFR. NW winds 15-25kt G30-35kt. Gusts decreasing at
night.
Thu...VFR. NW winds G15-20kt.
Fri...Mainly VFR. S G15-20kt. Chance of showers late.

.MARINE...
Small crafts for the ocean waters into the pre-dawn hours.
Increasing winds Monday will result in widespread SCA
conditions on all waters by Monday morning with gusts upwards of
25 kt. Winds continue to increase into Tuesday morning as the
approach of a rapidly deepening coastal low tightens the
pressure gradient over the area. By Tuesday, gales will be
likely on all waters and Gale Watches are now in effect.
Waves will build to 5 to 11 ft the ocean waters by Tuesday
afternoon and 5 to 7 ft are possible in the central and easter
sound.
Gales remain likely through Wednesday afternoon on all waters, then
become confined to the ocean for Wednesday evening with otherwise
SCA level wind gusts for the non-ocean waters Wednesday night. The
Gale Watch has been extended through Wednesday afternoon. SCA level
wind gusts are forecast on the ocean Wednesday overnight. SCA conds
then for Thursday morning, mainly on the ocean. Winds and seas
finally fall below advisory thresholds for Thursday afternoon with a
weakening offshore flow and subsiding seas. These relatively calm
conditions last through Friday before winds and seas increase once
again Friday night with the approach of the next storm system.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
A widespread area of 2 to 2.5 inches of liquid equivalent is
expected through Tuesday night, with isolated amounts of up to 3
inches. Exactly where this fall is still uncertain, and a
portion of this will fall as snow across portions of northeast
New Jersey, the Lower Hudson Valley, and southwest Connecticut.
However, with this amount of rainfall, flooding is a
possibility and the Weather Prediction Center has placed much of
the area in a marginal risk for excessive rainfall.
No hydrologic impacts are expected thereafter for the rest of the
week.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Another round of minor coastal flooding for the south shore
bays of southern Queens and southern Nassau for high tides
tonight. Felt these locations would get more water piling with
the SE flow, so have these areas in the coastal flood advisory.
Also have coastal flood statements for parts of the Lower NY
Harbor, Western Long Island Sound shorelines of southern
Westchester NY and southern Fairfield CT as well as southern
Suffolk County shorelines for tonight. With the ocean seas
remaining elevated, went with coastal flood statement for
Suffolk for possible localized minor coastal flooding for
tonight's high tides.
Marginal easterly gales will develop Mon Night/Tue Morning as
low pressure strengthens offshore. Main forecast challenge will
be the timing of winds backing from the east to northeast in
relation to the time of high tide. An earlier backing would
decrease the surge, while a later backing, after the time of
high tide, would increase the surge at high tide. Have leaned a
bit towards the latter scenario, with generally 2 to 2 1/2 ft
surge, locally 3 ft, resulting in widespread minor coastal
flooding for the Monday night/early Tue AM high tidal cycle
with localized moderate coastal flooding possible. The highest
threat for localized moderate coastal flooding being along
western Great South Bay, W LI Sound, and Twin Forks. Winds shift
offshore thereafter, ending the coastal flood threat.
