AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE UPTON NY
934 PM EDT FRI OCT 19 2007
.SYNOPSIS...
COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL AFFECT THE REGION IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT...SOME PRODUCING
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND GUSTY WINDS. THE FRONT WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE NEW YORK CITY AREA JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT...AND AROUND
DAYBREAK ACROSS FAR EASTERN LONG ISLAND AND SOUTHEAST CONNECTICUT.
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING SOUTH OF THE AREA WILL MAINTAIN CONTROL OF
THE WEATHER THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...WITH CONTINUED ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES. THE NEXT COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH TUESDAY...AND THEN
SLOWLY MOVE THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...BRINGING NEAR
NORMAL TEMPERATURES. THE UNSETTLED WEATHER MAY LAST INTO
THURSDAY...BUT FAIR WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO RETURN BY THE END OF
THE WORK WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
BROKEN LINE OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS APPROACHING THE
TRI STATE AREA THIS EVENING. AIRMASS AHEAD OF THE FRONT RICH WITH
TROPICAL MOISTURE WITH A RATHER ASTOUNDING 2.18 INCH PWAT OBSERVED
FROM THE 00Z OKX RAOB. PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL SHEAR WITH LOW LEVEL JET
OF 40-50KT IN ADVANCE OF THE APPROACHING FRONT. OBSERVED 0-3KM
HELICITY FROM THE 00Z RAOB OVER 300 M2/S2. LOW LEVEL SHEAR MAGNITUDE
SUGGESTS POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER BUT THERE IS LITTLE TO NO
INSTABILITY FOR SURFACE BASED PARCELS. PROBLEM IS THAT PARCELS
ORIGINATING FROM AROUND 925 HPA HAVE JUST BLO 1000 J/KG OF CAPE TO
WORK WITH. ACTIVITY TO THE WEST LIKELY ELEVATED IN NATURE AS THE
BOUNDARY LAYER IS JUST TOO STABLE TO SUPPORT SURFACE BASED
CONVECTION THIS FAR EAST... WELL AHEAD OF THE BEST LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE APROACHING COLD FRONT. SHALLOW STABLE LAYER
OBSERVED BLO H9 HELPING TO MINIMIZE VERTICAL MOMENTUM TRANSFER INTO
THE BOUNDARY LAYER. CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY CURRENTLY APPROACHING THE
THETA E RIDGE WHICH RUNS ROUGHLY FROM JUST EAST OF WASHINGTON DC TO
WESTERN MA TRAILING OFF RAPIDLY EAST OF THE AXIS.
NONETHELESS...AS JET DYNAMICS ARE IMPROVING THIS EVENING SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWING COOLING CLOUD TOPS OVER PA MOVING EAST. LIGHTNING
ACTIVITY HAS ALSO BEEN ON THE INCREASE OVER THE PAST HOUR. MAIN
CONCERNS WITH THE CONVECTIVE LINE AS IT MOVES THROUGH WOULD BE ISOLD
SEVERE WX IN THE FORM OF LOCALIZED WIND DAMAGE. BEST CHANCE FOR WIND
EVENTS WOULD BE FROM NYC AND POINTS WEST WHERE BOUNDARY LAYER LAPSE
RATES A BIT MORE FAVORABLE TO GET SOME OF THE BIG MOMENTUM ALOFT
DOWN TO THE SURFACE.
HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL STILL REMAINS WITH THE CONVECTIVE LINE
AS RAINFALL RATES AROUND AN INCH OR SO PER HOUR WITH THE STRONGEST
CELLS. LOW LEVEL WIND FIELD ALSO BECMG MORE PARALLEL WITH THE LINE
SLOWING ITS EASTWARD PROGRESS. MAIN AREA OF CONCERN FOR ANY
FLOODING WOULD BE IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA WHERE HEAVY RAINFALL
EARLIER TODAY ALSO LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING IN PARTS OF THE METRO
AREA.
ALL THIS SUGGESTS THAT LINE WILL ROUGHLY MAINTAIN ITS INTENSITY AS
IT MOVES INTO THE WESTERN NYC SUBURBS WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY
RAINFALL. AN ISOLD SVR WIND GUST STILL REMAINS POSSIBLE BUT ANY
SEVERE WEATHER EXPECTED TO BE ISOLD AT BEST.
WILL ISSUE AN SPS TO HIGHLIGHT RAINFALL THREAT AS CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY APPROACHES THE METRO AREA.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
COLD FRONT SHOULD CLEAR EASTERN LONG ISLAND BY 12Z SAT...WITH ANY
ASSOCIATED SHOWERS COMING TO AN END EARLY SAT MORNING AND DRIER AIR
MOVING IN ON A BRISK W FLOW. SURFACE RIDGING BRIEFLY BUILDS IN
DURING THE MORNING ALONG WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES TO START...BUT
STRONG SHORTWAVE DROPPING INTO BASE OF UPPER TROUGH CROSSING THE
AREA...ALONG WITH WEAKLY CYCLONIC H8 FLOW...SHOULD SPUR DEVELOPMENT
OF STRATOCU IN THE AFTERNOON BENEATH SUBSIDENCE INVERSION.
THESE CLOUDS SHOULD QUICKLY DISSIPATE BY EVENING...WITH MOSTLY CLEAR
SKIES CONTINUING THEREAFTER THROUGH MONDAY. UPPER HEIGHTS RISE
QUICKLY IN THE WAKE OF THE DEPARTING TROUGH SAT NIGHT AS A STRONG
UPPER HIGH REASSERTS ITSELF JUST OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST...SO
UNSEASONABLE WARMTH SHOULD CONTINUE...WITH HIGHS REMAINING IN THE
70S THROUGH THE PERIOD...AND APPROACHING 80 IN URBAN NORTHEAST NJ
BY MONDAY.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
UPPER TROUGH CLOSES OFF ACROSS THE MID SECTION OF THE NATION...WITH
CONFLUENCE ZONE SETTING UP TO ITS NORTHEAST WHERE ITS ASSOCIATED
SPLIT FLOW REJOINS THE NORTHERN STREAM...SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE
MIDWEST INTO THE NORTHEAST STATES. THIS INTRODUCES A LOT OF FORECAST
UNCERTAINTY AS THE WEEK CONTINUES. INITIALLY...HIGH PRESSURE AT THE
SURFACE SHOULD GIVE WAY TO AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT ON TUE...BUT
THIS FRONT MAY SLOW DOWN OR EVEN STALL SOMEWHERE OVER THE EAST WHILE
GULF MOISTURE STREAMS NORTHWARD. FORECAST THEN ADVERTISES COLD FROPA
ON WED FOLLOWED BY BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE AND FAIR/COOLER WX THU AND
FRI PER THE 00Z AND 12Z GEFS MEAN...BUT CONFIDENCE IN THIS IS LOW AS
THE 12Z ECMWF IS MUCH SLOWER TO BRING THE FRONT THROUGH ON
WED...THEN QUICKLY BRINGS IT BACK NORTH THU NIGHT AND FRI AS THE
HIGH QUICKLY DEPARTS AND A RETURN FLOW BECOMES ESTABLISHED AHEAD OF
A FRONTAL SYSTEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE CENTRAL STATES CUTOFF. THE 12Z
GFS IS EVEN MORE PESSIMISTIC FOR LATER IN THE WEEK...WITH ITS HIGH
BUILDING ONLY FAR ENOUGH SOUTH TO MAINTAIN A MOIST ONSHORE E FLOW
WED NIGHT AND THU.
&&
.AVIATION /02Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
GENERALLY LOW MVFR CONDITIONS ACROSS TERMINALS N&W OF NYC...AND
IFR OR LOWER FOR THE TERMINALS TO THE EAST AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT
APPROACHING FROM EAST-CENTRAL PA/CENTRAL NY. SOUTHERLY WINDS OF 10
TO 15 KT WITH GUSTS UP TO 20 KT ARE EXPECTED AHEAD OF THE COLD
FRONT. HAVE ALSO CONTINUED WITH WIND SHEAR GROUP WITH A LOW-LEVEL
JET AROUND 50 KT PERSISTING UNTIL A BIT BEFORE FRONTAL PASSAGE.
A LINE OF ORGANIZED CONVECTION AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL TRACK W TO
E ACROSS THE TERMINALS BETWEEN 00Z AND 08Z ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE
SFC COLD FRONT. LIMITING FACTOR IS INSTABILITY...WHICH IS
MARGINAL...BUT STRONG WIND SHEAR SHOULD COMPENSATE AND ALLOW FOR
SURVIVAL OF LINE OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS. DUE THE
STRONG WINDS IN THE LOW-LEVELS...SHOWERS MAY MIX DOWN GUSTS UP TO
30 KT...POSSIBLY EVEN STRONGER WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS. CONDITIONS
GENERALLY FALL TO IFR OR LOWER IN SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY.
COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH KSWF AROUND 05Z...KLGA 06Z..KISP 07Z AND
KGON 08Z. WINDS WILL VEER AROUND TO THE WSW AT THIS TIME WITH
PRONOUNCED DRYING ALLOWING CONDITIONS TO IMPROVING TO VFR. VFR
CEILINGS MAY HANG ON UNTIL AROUND 12Z WITH A BRIEF PERIOD OF POST
FRONTAL SHOWERS ACTIVITY.
SCT-BKN AFT VFR STRATO-CU EXPECTED SAT AFTERNOON AS UPPER TROUGH
AXIS SLIDES THROUGH. A TIGHT GRADIENT AND MODERATE CAA WILL LIKELY
HAVE WINDS INCREASING TO AROUND 15 KT WITH GUSTS INTO THE LOWER 20S
TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
OUTLOOK FOR 00Z SAT THROUGH TUESDAY... A GUSTY WEST WIND WITH GUSTS
UP TO 25 KT IS POSSIBLE THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY AS HIGH PRES BUILDS
TOWARD THE AREA. THIS HIGH WILL MOVE OFF THE COAST ON MONDAY AND
AN INCREASING SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL DEVELOP. WEATHER CONDITIONS
DETERIORATE ON TUESDAY AS THE NEXT SYSTEM APPROACHES THE
TERMINALS.
&&
.MARINE...
WITH DEEP LOW PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES...THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT ACROSS THE AREA WATERS WAS STRONG...RESULTING IN STRONG
SOUTHERLY WINDS. WIND GUSTS...MAINLY ON THE OCEAN WATERS...WERE
NEARING SMALL CRAFT LEVELS...AND WILL INCREASE FURTHER TONIGHT. A
COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE WESTERN WATERS THIS EVENING...AND
CLEAR THE EASTERN WATERS LATE TONIGHT. WITH COLD AIR MOVING INTO THE
REGION TONIGHT AND INTO SATURDAY WIND GUSTS WILL EXCEED SMALL CRAFT
LEVELS ON ALL THE AREA WATERS. WINDS WILL DIMINISH BELOW SMALL CRAFT
SATURDAY NIGHT AS THE COLD ADVECTION ENDS AND HIGH PRESSURE STARTS
TO BUILD FROM THE SOUTH. SEAS ON THE OCEAN WATERS WERE AT SMALL
CRAFT LEVELS FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND WILL REMAIN AT SMALL CRAFT LEVELS
THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.
WITH HIGH PRESSURE SOUTH OF THE FORECAST WATERS SUNDAY INTO MONDAY
NIGHT WINDS AND SEAS WILL REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT LEVELS. TUESDAY
ANOTHER COLD FRONT APPROACHES AND IS EXPECTED TO CROSS THE WATERS
TUESDAY NIGHT. SEAS COULD BUILD ON THE OCEAN WATERS TO SMALL CRAFT
LEVELS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT.

LIKELY LATE THIS EVENING AND INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS.
