AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE UPTON NY 341 PM EDT SAT JUN 24 2006 .NEAR TERM (THROUGH SUNDAY)...MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE OVER PA PLUS CONVERGENCE ALONG QUASISTATIONARY FRONT...WHICH WAS LOCATED ALONG A HFD-HPN-LGA-SMQ LINE AS OF 18Z...AND IN THETA-E RIDGE TO ITS EAST... ARE SPARKING NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND TSTMS FROM SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND INTO SOUTHEAST PA AND SOUTHERN NJ. MAIN AREAS OF CONCERN FOR POTENTIAL FLASH FLOODING OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS ARE FROM NYC JUST TO THE SOUTH AND WEST...WHERE TRAINING OF CELLS ALONG FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS IMMINENT...AND ACROSS THE SOUTH SHORE/EAST END OF LONG ISLAND WHERE DISCRETE CELLS OVER SOUTHERN NJ MAY MOVE IN LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. MADDOX TYPE SYNOPTIC SCALE PATTERN CONDUCIVE TO FLASH FLOODING LOOKS TO HOLD THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON...WITH FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER THE AREA REMAINING IN PLACE OR SAGGING ONLY SLIGHTLY SOUTH THIS EVENING...WITH RIGHT REAR QUAD OF UPPER JET STREAK OVER CENTRAL NY LENDING ADDITIONAL DYNAMIC SUPPORT ALONG WITH MID LEVEL SHORTWAVES MOVING NORTHEAST FROM THE OH/TN VALLEYS. FRONT LIFTS BACK NORTH AND WEST SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT AS UPPER TROUGH AMPLIFIES OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST AND BERMUDA HIGH STRENGTHENS OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST. AND UPPER FLOW BACKS MORE SOUTHERLY. OF THE SHORT RANGE MODELS... 12Z GFS ORIENTATION OF QPF AXIS BETTER THAN NAM WHICH WAS TOO FAR SOUTH...AND ALSO APPEARS TO HAVE A BETTER HANDLE ON VARIOUS SHORTWAVES RIDING UP INTO THE AREA ON MOIST DEEP LAYERED SW FLOW...SO WAS FOLLOWED FOR THE MOST PART. THE UPSHOT OF ALL THE ABOVE IS THAT WE WILL KEEP FLOOD WATCH AS IS. NOT MUCH HAS HAPPENED YET UP IN ORANGE COUNTY BUT WE EXPECT THIS TO CHANGE ESPECIALLY ON SUNDAY AS THE FRONT BUCKLES BACK NORTH. WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES UP NEAR 2 INCHES...AM EXPECTING 1.5-2.5 INCHES ACROSS THE BOARD WITH SOME SPOTS PICKING UP 4-5 INCHES BY THE TIME ALL IS SAID AND DONE. && .SHORT TERM (SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)...FRONT CONTINUES TO PUSH FATHER INLAND...AND AS A RESULT HAVE CONTINUED WITH POP GRADUALLY DECREASING TO CHANCE FOR MON/MON NIGHT VIA COMBINATION OF DAYTIME HEATING AND SHORTWAVE ROUNDING WESTERN PERIPHERY OF SUBTROPICAL HIGH. ONSHORE FLOW SHOULD KEEP THINGS MORE STABLE OVER EASTERN CT/LONG ISLAND...HAVE CONTINUED SLIGHT CHANCE POP BUT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THOSE AREAS REMAINED RAIN FREE. THEN WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR RENEWED HEAVY RAINFALL MAINLY OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CWA ON TUE...AS TROPICAL MOISTURE FROM TROPICAL/SUBTROPICAL DISTURBANCE OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST IS PROGGED TO STREAM NORTHWARD. TEMPERATURES SHOULD CONTINUE TO AVERAGE SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL AT NIGHT AND SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL DURING THE DAY DUE TO THE CLOUD COVER. && .LONG TERM (TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)...A WARM...MUGGY PERIOD WITH A TROUGH OVER THE UPPER MS VALLEY AND GREAT LAKES AND POSITIVE HEIGHT ANOMALIES ALONG THE NORTHEAST COAST. ANY CONVECTION WILL BE MAINLY DIURNAL AND DRIVEN BY DIFFERENTIAL HEATING. AIRMASS WILL BE TROPICAL IN NATURE AS A DEEP-LAYERED SOUTHERLY FLOW PREVAILS ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE SUBTROPICAL HIGH. && .AVIATION...DIFFICULT FORECAST FOR THE AREA TERMINALS ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE CITY AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS OVER THE AREA. EXPECT MVFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS WITH OCCASIONAL IFR CONDITIONS AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN...THUNDERSTORMS...AND LOCALIZED FOG/LOW STRATUS IN BREAKS OF PRECIPITATION. WITH AN UNSTABLE AIRMASS IN PLACE AND THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY SET UP OVER THE REGION...THE THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS CAN OCCUR AT ANYTIME. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE VARIABLY FOR MUCH OF THE NIGHT WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY SO CLOSE TO THE TERMINALS. WIND SPEEDS NOT EXPECTED TO BE A PROBLEM AS THEY RANGE BETWEEN 5 AND 10 KTS. && .MARINE...SEAS REMAIN 4 FT AT BUOYS 25/17 WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW OF 10-15 KT ACROSS THE OCEAN WATERS. EXPECT SIMILAR CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AND THROUGH SUNDAY. THE FRONT SHOULD DRIFT SOUTHWARD TO LONG ISLAND TONIGHT THEN SLOWLY DRIFT BACK NORTH ON SUNDAY. NOW APPEARS THAT WINDS/SEAS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SCA LEVELS ON SUN AND PROBABLY SUN NIGHT AS WELL. WAVEWATCH GUIDANCE WAS REASONABLE THROUGH SUN THEN APPEARS TO BRING SEAS UP TOO HIGH...AS HAS OFTEN BEEN THE CASE RECENTLY DUE TO MODEL OVER-MIXING OF THE WARM SOUTHERLY FLOW ACROSS THE COOL WATERS. SOUTHERLY FLOW SHOULD INCREASE JUST ENOUGH MON TO RAISE SEAS UP TO 5 FT AT THAT TIME. SINCE MON IS THE 4TH FCST PERIOD...NO SCA WILL BE POSTED AT THIS TIME. NOT EXPECTING ANY WIND/WAVE PROBLEMS ACROSS THE SOUND/HARBOR THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. LOOKS LIKE MODERATE SOUTHERLY FLOW WITH MARGINAL SCA LEVEL SEAS ACROSS THE OCEAN WATERS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WEEK. && .HYDROLOGY...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT. WE ARE LOOKING AT A TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNT BETWEEN 1 1/2 AND 2 INCHES BY THE TIME THE EVENT TAPERS OFF SUNDAY EVENING OR SO. LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS UP TO 4 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE DUE TO THE CONVECTIVE NATURE OF THIS EVENT AND OROGRAPHIC INFLUENCES. AT THE VERY LEAST WE STILL EXPECT TO SEE FLOODING OF URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS...AND FLOODING ALONG RIVERS AND STREAMS THAT NORMALLY RESPOND FAIRLY QUICKLY. && .OKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

The Philadelphia radar (KDIX), 121 km away, was scanning. The volume nearest the first event began at 23:49 UTC.
1 flash flood. Local standard time, as filed.
A man fell into a swiftly flowing tributary of the Passaic River around 8 pm EDT and was killed. Heavy rains of up to 3 inches had fallen in the area during Friday and Saturday (the 23rd and 24th) which caused the stream to run more swiftly than normal.
As the offices recorded each death: direct deaths were caused by the weather itself, indirect ones by something it set in motion.
