AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE UPTON NY
303 PM EDT SAT JUL 22 2006
.NEAR TERM (REST OF THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT)...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AND FLASH FLOOD WATCHES NOW IN EFFECT FOR
VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE CWA EXCEPT FAR EASTERN SECTIONS.
DESPITE CLOUDINESS...TEMPS IN NYC AND NORTHEAST NJ ARE ALMOST NEAR
THE 12Z OKX SOUNDING CONVECTIVE TEMP OF 82 SO WE ARE GETTING CLOSE
TO PRIMED FOR SEVERE WX. GIVEN DEEP LAYER EFFECTIVE SHEAR OF 30-35
KT...MAIN THREAT APPEARS TO BE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS VIA SMALL BOWING
SEGMENTS...BUT THERE COULD BE AN ISOLATED SUPERCELL CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING A TORNADO GIVEN CURRENT 0-1 KM SHEAR OF 15-20 KT...0-3 KM
CAPE APPROACHING 1OO J/KG AND LOW LCL OF 600 METERS PER SPC
MESOANALYSIS...NOT QUITE AS ROBUST AS THE INGREDIENTS ON JULY 12TH
BUT CLOSE ENOUGH TO GIVE US CONCERN. CURRENTLY WATCHING CELLS ALONG
EASTERN EDGE OF CLEAR SLOT/PSEUDO WARM FRONT MOVING INTO NORTHWEST
NJ...WHICH HAVE SHOWN SOME SUPERCELL CHARACTERISTICS AS OF 230 PM.
MAIN SHOW MAY COME TOWARD EVENING WITH STORMS DEVELOPING IN CLEAR
SLOT FROM ABE-BWI OR VIA CONVECTION ALONG COLD FRONT IN CENTRAL PA.
WE ARE ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING TONIGHT
WITH VERY MOIST AIRMASS IN PLACE WITH PWAT AROUND 2 INCHES...
STEERING FLOW ALIGNED NEARLY PARALLEL WITH APPROACHING COLD FRONT
AND MBE VECTORS DECREASING TO UNDER 10 KT AS LLJ INTENSIFIES.
AREAL QPF OF 1-2 INCHES WITH SOME AREAS CHIMING IN AT 4 INCHES WHERE
TRAINING TAKES PLACE NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION...ESPECIALLY FROM NYC
INTO THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY.
SPECIAL 18Z SOUNDING WAS LAUNCHED TO GIVE US A BETTER HANDLE ON
NEAR-STORM ENVIRONMENT THROUGH TONIGHT.
LOW LIFTS TO THE NORTH LATE TONIGHT...WITH THE TRAILING COLD FRONT
PUSHING SLOWLY ACROSS THE TRI-STATE AREA. RAIN CHANCES WILL SLOWLY
DIMINISH FROM WEST TO EAST FROM LATE EVENING ON.
&&
.SHORT TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...THERE COULD BE A CHANCE OF
MORNING SHOWERS THROUGHOUT WITH COLD FRONT PLODDING ALONG JUST EAST
OF THE AREA AND UPPER TROUGH YET TO PASS THROUGH...HAVE ALSO
LINGERED THIS CHANCE INTO THE AFTERNOON ACROSS FAR EASTERN LONG
ISLAND AND CT. FAIR/DRY WX TO FOLLOW FOR SUN NIGHT INTO TUE AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST...WITH TEMPS NEAR OR JUST A TOUCH
ABOVE NORMAL BUT WITH MORE COMFORTABLE HEAT INDICES AS DEWPOINTS
DROP INTO THE UPPER 50S AND LOWER 60S...MUCH LOWER THAN OUR CURRENT
MUGGY LOWER 70S.
&&
.LONG TERM (TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)...SURFACE RIDGING MOVES
OFFSHORE EARLY IN THE PERIOD...ALLOWING A SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE
AND ASSOCIATED WEAK WARM FRONT/FRONTAL WAVE TO LIFT NORTH ALONG THE
EAST COAST WED INTO WED NIGHT...BRINGING CHANCE OF SHOWERS/TSTMS.
BERMUDA HIGH TEMPORARILY REASSERTS ITSELF IN THE WAKE OF THIS WAVE
ON THU...BUT THEN YET ANOTHER COLD FRONT DROPS SOUTH TOWARD THE AREA
AND STALLS NEARBY FOR FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. THE UPSHOT OF ALL THIS
IS A CONTINUATION OF WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS...WITH CHANCES OF
CONVECTION ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...FLASH FLOOD WATCH WAS ISSUED FOR MOST OF THE CWA EXCEPT
FAR EAST PORTION THROUGH TONIGHT. AREAL QPF OF 1-2 INCHES WITH LOCAL
AMOUNTS OF UP TO 4 INCHES WILL BE ENOUGH TO CAUSE FLASH FLOODING
ESPECIALLY GIVEN MOIST AIRMASS IN PLACE WITH PWAT NEAR 2 INCHES...
ANTECEDENT WET CONDITIONS IN NYC AND NORTHEAST NJ...AND POTENTIAL
FOR TRAINING STORMS GIVEN COLD FRONT ALIGNMENT WITH UPPER FLOW AND
MBE VECTORS DECREASING TO UNDER 10 KT AS LOW LEVEL JET STRENGTHENS
INTO THIS EVENING.
AFTER THIS...QUIET FOR THE SHORT TERM BUT WILL HAVE TO KEEP ANOTHER
CLOSE EYE ON APPROACHING SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED
WEAK WARM FRONT/FRONTAL WAVE ON WED...AND COLD FRONT STALLING NEAR
OR JUST NORTH OF THE AREA ON FRI/SAT.
&&
.AVIATION...GENERALLY MVFR CIGS/VSBY WITH MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW
ACROSS THE REGION INTERACTING WITH A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS
THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY AND A FAIRLY INTENSE WAVE OF LOW PRES MOVING
NE THROUGH THE AREA. FIRST BATCH OF SHRA/EMBEDDED TSRA HAVE PUSHED
THROUGH ALL BUT KGON WITH IFR CIGS/VSBY. A PERIOD OF VFR CIGS/VSBY
POSSIBLE ACROSS WESTERN SECTIONS THIS AFTERNOON AS A CLEAR SLOT
TRIES TO MOVE UP FROM MID-ATLANTIC. TSTM THREAT WILL BE INCREASING
IN RESPONSE TO THE DIABATIC HEATING LATE THIS AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS NYC/NJ TERMINALS AND N&W. CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING
COULD PRODUCE SOME STRONG WINDS WITH 50+ KT WIND GUSTS AND HEAVY
RAINS MAIN THREAT...BUT LARGE HAIL AND EVEN ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE
POSSIBLE. EXPECT IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS IN ANY HEAVY SHRA/STORMS. LOW
MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS TONIGHT AS COLD FRONT CRAWLS THROUGH THE REGION.
IMPROVING CONDITIONS FROM LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON SUNDAY AS
COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH WITH WNW LOW-LEVEL FLOW AND DRIER AIR
SLOWLY ADVECTING IN.
&&
.MARINE...WITH GRADIENT TIGHTENING OVER ZONES...BOTH WINDS AND SEAS
WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE. DO NOT BELIEVE WINDS WILL REACH GALES
OVER EASTERN LONG ISLAND SOUND AND THEREFORE HAVE DOWNGRADED THIS TO
A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY. WILL KEEP THE GALE UP FOR ONLY MY FAR
EASTERN OCEAN ZONE TONIGHT. DURING SUNDAY...BOTH WINDS AND SEAS WILL
SUBSIDE AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH AND THE PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES.
EXPECT FAIRLY WIDESPREAD CONVECTION THROUGHOUT THE REGION THROUGH
TONIGHT...SOME MAY BECOME SEVERE.
&&
