Flash Flood in Connecticut, June 14, 2008

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE UPTON NY
352 PM EDT SAT JUN 14 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA THIS EVENING AND PASS OVER
THE REGION TONIGHT AND EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS BACK INTO THE REGION BEHIND THE FRONT...HOWEVER ANOTHER COLD
FRONT IS EXPECTED MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. AN UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL
THEN PARK ITSELF OVER THE NORTHEAST THROUGH MID WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY AS
THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES...PRIMARILY NORTH AND WEST OF NEW YORK
CITY. ACTIVITY SHOULD WEAKEN AS IT MOVES EAST INTO THE RIDGE
AXIS...BUT THIS PROTECTION WILL WEAKEN TOWARD EVENING AS IT FLATTENS
OUT. SBCAPES HAVE INCREASED INTO THE RANGE OF GENERALLY 1000-2000
J/KG (MAINLY NORTH AND WEST OF OF THE CITY)...WITH LIFTED INDICES OF
0 TO -2 (AGAIN...MAINLY NW). NOT MUCH SHEAR EXPECTED WITH 20 KT OR
WEAKER FLOW ALL THE WAY FROM THE SURFACE UP THROUGH 500 MB. LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE INCREASES WITH THE RETURN FLOW BEHIND THE LOW...WITH
PWATS INCREASING TO ALMOST 2 INCHES BY THIS EVENING. SO...DO NOT
EXPECT WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER...BUT ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT
DEVELOP WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO DUMP HEAVY RAINS. SLOWER-MOVING
PULSE SEVERE STORMS WOULD BE THE MOST LIKELY TYPE OF SEVERE WX
SHOULD IT HAPPEN. WET BULB ZEROES ARE FORECAST TO BE IN THE RANGE OF
11-12 KFT...SO LARGE HAIL STILL A THREAT.

THE WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY THROUGH THE CWA...WITH BOTH THE
NAM AND GFS DEVELOPING A WEAK LOW ALONG THE FRONT AS IT PASSES
THROUGH. TIMING OF FRONTAL PASSAGE APPEARS TO BE SHORTLY BEFORE
MIDNIGHT FOR WESTERNMOST SPOTS...TO 12Z SUNDAY MORNING OUT EAST.
EXPECT THE THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO REMAIN OVER THE
REGION THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THERE WILL BE A BETTER CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION OVERNIGHT RATHER THAN DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON WITH
MORE FORCING OVER THE AREA. OVERNIGHT LOWS TONIGHT WILL FALL INTO
THE MIDDLE 60S TO NEAR 70.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A FEW REMAINING SHOWERS WILL REMAIN OVER THE CWA EARLY SUNDAY
MORNING...WITH THE THREAT OF RAIN COMING TO AN END BY NOON. SKIES
WILL CLOUDY TO START...HOWEVER SOME CLEARING CAN BE EXPECTED BY
AFTERNOON. TRIED TO STAY MORE IN LINE WITH THE GFS FOR SUNDAY. NAM
SEEMS TO BE HOLDING ONTO THE PRECIPITATION A BIT TOO LONG. THEREFORE
STUCK SOMEWHAT CLOSE THE THE MAV AND FWC NUMBERS FOR SUNDAY HIGHS.
HIGHS SHOULD TOP OFF INT HE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S. WE COULD SEE A
FEW MID 80 TEMPS IN AND AROUND NORTHEAST NEW JERSEY WHERE IT IS
USUALLY A BIT WARMER. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD KEEP THE AREA DRY
SUNDAY NIGHT.

A DEVELOPING 500 MB CUTOFF LOW WILL SINK SOUTHEAST FROM CANADA INTO
THE GREAT LAKES REGION ON MONDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN A MORE
UNSETTLED PATTERN AS WE HEAD INTO THE NEW WORK WEEK AS WEAK
SHORTWAVES ROTATE AROUND THE LOW. BOTH THE NAM AND GFS ARE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT WITH THE TIMING OF A FRONT MONDAY NIGHT. THERE MAY BE A
FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT ON MONDAY
AFTERNOON AS A PRE-FRONTAL TROF MAY DEVELOP. WILL GO AHEAD AND
CONTINUE WITH CHANCE AND SLIGHT CHANCE POPS MONDAY AFTERNOON AND GO
LEAN TOWARDS HIGHER POPS FOR MONDAY NIGHT. FOLLOWED MAV MOS FOR THE
HIGH TEMPS. THE THREAT OF SHOWERS CONTINUE ON TUESDAY AS WE REMAIN
IN THIS UNSETTLED PATTERN.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
GOOD GENERAL CONSENSUS AMONG THE MODELS AND THEIR ENSEMBLES THAT A
CUTOFF LOW EVOLVING TO A DEEP TROUGH WILL BE OVER THE EASTERN US FOR
THE MIDDLE TO LATER PART OF NEXT WEEK. THIS IS A HIGHLY ANOMALOUS
PATTERN FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR...WITH THE 12Z GEFS SHOWING NEGATIVE
HEIGHT ANOMALY OF A BIT OVER 3.5 STANDARD DEVIATIONS BELOW NORMAL
WITH THIS SYSTEM. WHILE THERE IS A DEGREE OF A CONSENSUS THAT THE
TROUGH WILL BEGIN TO LIFT OUT BY SATURDAY...EXPERIENCE AND ONGOING
RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THERE IS SMALLER THAN USUAL MODEL SKILL AT
PREDICTING THE EXACT DETAILS (PLACEMENT...STRENGTH...MOVEMENT) OF
CUT OFF LOWS IN THE EXTENDED...SO NOT HIGHLY CONFIDENT IN THAT.

HAVE THE HIGHEST DEGREE OF CONFIDENCE IN THAT GIVEN SOLID
INDICATIONS OF BELOW NORMAL HEIGHTS...WILL HAVE BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES (ESPECIALLY FOR HIGHS...WHETHER LOWS ARE BELOW NORMAL
DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH CLOUD COVER THERE IS AT NIGHT...AND THAT IS
SOMETHING WHICH IS NOT A HIGH CONFIDENCE FORECAST THIS FAR OUT...SO
STAYED CLOSE TO MEX ENSEMBLE MEAN THERE). ALSO WOULD EXPECT ISOLATED
TO SCATTERED SHOWERS UNDERNEATH THE COLD POOL ASSOCIATED WITH THE
CUT OFF (DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH MOISTURE IS CAUGHT UNDER THE
CUTOFF...AND HOW STEEP LOW TO MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE)...SO RUN
CHANCE TO SLIGHT CHANCE POPS THROUGH THE PERIOD. I WILL STRESS
HERE...THAT THIS IS NOT A WASHOUT TYPE OF PATTERN IN GENERAL (LACK
OF CONTINUOUS FLOW OF MOISTURE FROM ATLANTIC/GULF)...AND THAT MOST
OF THE TIME IN ANY GIVEN DAY AND LOCATION IT WILL BE DRY...JUST THAT
THE NATURE OF THIS PATTERN HISTORICALLY SAYS THERE WILL BE ISOLATED
TO SCATTERED SHOWERS FROM TIME TO TIME (I.E. FAR MORE MISS THAN HIT
WITH THIS SORT OF PATTERN).

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
ISOLD SHRA AND TSRA...FROM CITY TERMINALS NORTH AND WEST WILL
INCREASE IN COVERAGE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AS ACTIVITY SPREADS INTO
THE NYC METRO AREA. EXPECT SCT SHRA AND TSRA ACROSS THE REGION
BEFORE COVERAGE AND INTENSITY BEGINS TO WANE LATE THIS EVENING WITH
LOSS OF INSTABILITY. IMPACT WOULD BE MVFR VSBYS AND LTG WITH TSRA.
COLD FRONT PUSHING TOWARD THE REGION WILL SLOW ITS FORWARD
PROGRESSION AS A WEAK WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS OVER THE AREA
TONIGHT. LIGHT WINDS AND ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL RESULT IN
MVFR TO IFR CIGS IN MANY AREAS OVERNIGHT WITH BR AND -DZ. HAVE LEFT
CITY TERMINALS LOW END VFR DUE TO SLIGHTLY STRONGER WINDS PROMOTING
BETTER MIXING. BUT...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE CITY TERMINALS
DROP TO MVFR OVERNIGHT AS WELL.

LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND LIGHT WINDS LINGER INTO SUNDAY AS WEAK WAVE
AND FRONTAL BOUNDARY CRAWL SLOWLY SOUTHEASTWARD. PROBABLY WILL NOT
SEE IMPROVEMENT BACK TO VFR UNTIL LATE MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON
FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST.

OUTLOOK FOR 18Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...
NW FLOW INCREASES TO 10 KT SUN AFTERNOON...FINALLY ALLOWING
CLEARING TO BUILD BACK IN. ANOTHER COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE
AREA MONDAY AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY NIGHT WITH LOCAL MVFR TO IFR
CONDITIONS IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. PATTERN WILL BECOME
UNSETTLED THIS WEEK AS UPPER LEVEL LOW SINKS OVER THE REGION FROM
SOUTHERN CANADA. EXPECT LOW END VFR OR MVFR CONDITIONS TO PERSIST.

&&

.MARINE...
A WEAKENING FRONT MOVES APPROACHES THE AREA WATERS TONIGHT AND
CROSSES THE AREA OVERNIGHT. A WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL DEVELOP
ALONG THE FRONT IN THE VICINITY OF LONG ISLAND...BRINGING AN
INCREASED THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. IN ADDITION TO THE
PRECIPITATION...WINDS WILL BECOME MORE EASTERLY...THEN MORE
NORTHERLY BY SUNDAY MORNING AS THE LOW MOVES ACROSS THE WATERS. A
N/NW FLOW WILL PREVAIL ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW THROUGH SUNDAY
NIGHT. REGARDLESS...THE FLOW WILL BE WEAK WITH WINDS AND SEAS
REMAINING BELOW SCA.

A STRENGTHENING SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL DEVELOP MONDAY INTO TUESDAY
AHEAD OF DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE NORTH OF THE GREAT LAKES. A COLD
FRONT WILL PUSH ACROSS THE WATERS ON TUESDAY. SCA CONDITIONS
POSSIBLE ON THE OCEAN WATERS MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY ALONG AND
AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. AFTER SOME GUSTY WEST WINDS TO NEAR SCA
LEVELS TUESDAY NIGHT BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...EXPECT WINDS TO
DIMINISH TO 5-10 KT BY THU MORNING...THEN BACK TO THE SW-S BY LATE
THURSDAY. THE RESULT WILL BE SEAS FALLING TO WELL BELOW SCA LEVELS
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. EXPECT WEST WINDS GENERALLY 5-10 KT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON WILL PRODUCE ON AVERAGE
AROUND A THIRD OF AN INCH OF RAINFALL. THERE MAY HOWEVER BE ISOLATED
HIGHER AMOUNTS IN THUNDERSTORMS AS THUNDERSTORM CELLS ARE
EXPECTED TO MOVE RELATIVELY SLOWLY. LOCAL URBAN FLOODING OF POOR
DRAINAGE AREAS IS THEREFORE A POSSIBILITY.

ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. SECOND ROUND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS MAY
PRODUCE BETWEEN A QUARTER AND A HALF INCH OF RAIN. ALSO...IF
THUNDERSTORMS OCCUR...WE COULD SEE SOME HIGHER AMOUNTS.
