AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE UPTON NY
403 PM EDT MON AUG 25 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE TRI-STATE AREA LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING...FOLLOWED BY STRONG HIGH PRESSURE
FOR THE MID WEEK PERIOD. THE HIGH DRIFTS OFFSHORE LATE IN THE WEEK
AS A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE ALONG A FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHES FROM
THE SOUTHWEST.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
COLD FRONT PUSHING TOWARDS NY/NJ METRO WILL SLOWLY MOVE ACROSS
THE AREA REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. MODEST PRE-
FRONTAL INSTABILITY AND AN UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK SLIDING OVER
LI...HAS ALLOWED FOR NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND TSTMS TO DEVELOP OVER
CONN. STRENGTHENING UNI-DIRECTIONAL VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WILL ALLOW
FOR SOME ORGANIZATION OF CONVECTION THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON
ACROSS SE CONN AND EASTERN LI...WITH A FEW STRONG STORMS AND AN
ISOLATED SEVERE STORM POSSIBLE THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING...BEFORE
INSTABILITY WANES.
OTHERWISE...AMPLIFYING UPPER TROUGH DIGS THROUGH NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND
TONIGHT...WITH COLD FRONT PUSHING OFFSHORE BY AROUND 10 PM. THIS
SHOULD BRING AN END TO ANY SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
ACROSS EASTERN LI/SE CONN. STRONG COLD ADVECTION AND GUSTY NORTH
WINDS IN WAKE OF COLD FRONT...CONTINUING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT
AHEAD OF STRONG CANADIAN HIGH BUILDING SE THROUGH THE EASTERN
GREAT LAKES.
TEMPS FALLING SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW SEASONABLE IN CAA...50S
ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA...LOWER 60S NY/NJ METRO...A FEW UPPER 40S
POSSIBLE ACROSS FAR INTERIOR.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
QUIET THROUGH THE PERIOD AS PATTERN BECOMES BLOCKED. UPPER LOW
DEVELOPS AT BASE OF UPPER TROUGH OFF MAINE COAST ON TUES...AND THEN
REMAIN RATHER STATIONARY ACROSS GEORGES BANK. MEANWHILE...HIGH
AMPLITUDE UPPER RIDGE GRADUALLY WORKS EAST THROUGH THE GREAT
LAKES...WITH HEIGHTS SLOWLY BUILDING OVER THE REGION.
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE GRADUALLY BUILDS FROM EASTERN GREAT LAKES INTO
THE REGION TUES INTO EARLY WED...AND THEN OVER THE REGION WED
THROUGH THURS.
UNSEASONABLY COOL WEATHER IS FORECAST FOR TUE AND WED. SUNSHINE WILL
BE ABUNDANT AND THE AIRMASS WILL BE DRY WITH DEWPOINTS DROPPING INTO
THE 40S. CONDITIONS WILL BE MORE TYPICAL OF MID SEPTEMBER.
MOSTLY SUNNY ON TUE...JUST A BIT OF HIGH/MID CLOUDS ON BACKSIDE OF
UPPER LOW. PREDOMINANTLY NORTHERLY FLOW...WITH 850 HPA TEMPS AROUND
8 TO 10C...HIGHS WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S. COOLEST
TEMPS ACROSS NORTHERN AND EASTERN AREAS. WITH OFFSHORE
FLOW...SEABREEZE DEVELOPMENT WILL LIKELY BE INHIBITED OR NOT UNTIL LATE
IN THE DAY ACROSS IMMEDIATE COASTAL AREAS.
TEMPS FALL SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW SEASONABLE TUES NIGHT...WITH MAINLY
50S ACROSS THE REGION...AND MID TO UPPER 40S BY WED MORNING ACROSS
NORTHERN VALLEYS AND PINE BARRENS. AROUND 60 NY/NJ METRO.
HIGH PRES OVER THE REGION ON WED WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES...WITH
LIGHT NE FLOW BECOMING ONSHORE IN THE AFTERNOON. MIXING LIKELY
LIMITED TO AROUND 900 HPA WITH STRONG SUBSIDENCE INVERSION...WITH
HIGHS LIKELY RUNNING IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S ONCE AGAIN.
AFTERNOON SEABREEZES EXPECTED WITH WEAK FLOW.
UNSEASONABLY CHILLY NIGHT WED NIGHT AGAIN WITH GOOD RADIATIONAL
COOLING CONDS...40S AGAIN POSSIBLE IN INTERIOR VALLEYS AND PINE
BARRENS.
HIGH PRESSURE AXIS SURFACE/ALOFT GRADUALLY SLIDES EAST OF THE REGION
THURS. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR RETURN FLOW TO BEGIN DEVELOPING AND
APPROACH OF FRONTAL SYSTEM (WITH REMNANT MOISTURE OF TROPICAL
SYSTEM FAYE) THROUGH OHIO VALLEY. INCREASING HIGH/MID CLOUDS IN
RESPONSE THURS AFT. AIRMASS MODERATES FURTHER AS WELL...WITH HIGH
IN THE UPPER 70S/AROUND 80. AFTERNOON SEABREEZES EXPECTED WITH
WEAK FLOW.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
12Z GFS AND 00Z ECMWF LOOK VERY SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY...HOWEVER IT
NOW APPEARS THAT ANY AFFECTS FROM THE REMNANTS OF FAY WILL BE
MINIMAL.
BLOCKING CUTOFF SOUTH OF NOVA SCOTIA WILL KEEP THE REMNANTS OF FAY
MAINLY TO OUR WEST ALTHOUGH CANT COMPLETELY RULE OUT A FEW SHOWERS
MAKING IT INTO WESTERN PARTS OF THE CWA...AS IT MERGES WITH A WARM
FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH LOW PRESSURE MOVING ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL
CANADA. HE OFFSHORE SYSTEM DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT WILL BE CLOSE
ENOUGH TO THROW BACK SOME PRECIP INTO EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE
AREA...PERHAPS MAYBE JUST SOME HIGH CLOUDS.
UPPER LOW BEGINS TO LIFT INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES ON FRI AS THE
BERMUDA HIGH RE-ESTABLISHES ITSELF. GFS IS ABOUT 12 HOURS SLOWER
THAN THE EC WITH TIMING OF THE COLD FRONT SAT NIGHT...BUT AS HPC
NOTED...IT IS HARD TO ARGUE FOR A FAST OR SLOW SOLUTION WITH NO
STABLE ANOMALY CENTER IN THE SUBTROPICS OR MID-LATITUDES...SO HAVE
GENERALLY FOLLOWED THEIR GUIDANCE AND SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE. KEEPING
CHC POPS CONFINED TO THE SAT AFTN/SAT NIGHT PERIOD AS THIS APPEARS
TO BE THE BEST CHC FOR PRECIP...BUT ON THE LOW END TO ACCOUNT FOR
TIMING DIFFERENCES.
STRICTLY USED GMOS BEHIND THE FRONT LATER SUN THROUGH MON AS THE 00Z
EC WAS CURVING GUSTAV TO THE NORTH IN THE ATLANTIC WHICH IS NOT
PREFERRED BY TPC AND WOULD EVENTUALLY INFLUENCE WINDS.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN NORMAL THROUGH THE
PERIOD.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
COLD FRONT PASSING ACROSS METRO TERMINALS (KEWR/KLGA/KTEB/KJFK)
THIS AFTERNOON...AND INSTABILITY CU AND AC ACCOMPANIES THIS FRONT. A
FEW SHOWERS AND TSTMS POSSIBLE...BUT NOT CONFIDENT ANY PARTICULAR
TERMINAL WILL OBSERVE TSTMS. OF COURSE IN ANY TSTM...MVFR
CONDITIONS POSSIBLE. OTHERWISE VFR ANTICIPATED. FRONT CLEARS NYC
METRO TERMINALS BY 22Z AND EXPECT A WIND SHIFT TO TRUE
NORTHWEST...THEN NORTH AS THE EVENING PROGRESSES. SOME GUSTS
POSSIBLE ACROSS NYC TERMINALS SUCH AS KJFK/KLGA/KEWR WHERE BEST
SFC HEATING RESIDES. FRONT WILL TAKE SEVERAL HOURS LONGER TO CLEAR
KGON/KISP. SW FLOW IN THE MEANTIME.
SKIES CLEAR THIS EVENING AND WINDS BEGIN TO ABATE AFTER MIDNIGHT
FROM THE NORTH. MAINLY CLEAR SKIES TUESDAY MORNING WITH NORTHERLY
WINDS AROUND 10 KTS.
OUTLOOK FOR 18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN AND
DOMINATES AREA WEATHER INTO FRIDAY. EXPECT VFR CEILINGS AND
VISIBILITIES. POSSIBLE SUB-VFR SATURDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE
BREAKS DOWN.
&&
.MARINE...
A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE WATERS BY THIS EVENING. A FEW SHOWERS
AND TSTMS ARE POSSIBLE INTO THIS EVENING...ESPECIALLY EASTERN
WATERS. PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS SOMEWHAT BEHIND THE FRONT...AND A
COLD AIR PUSH WILL RESULT IN NORTHERLY WINDS...WITH GUSTS UP TO 25
KTS LATER TONIGHT INTO TUE MORNING...MAINLY ACROSS OCEAN WATERS.
OTHERWISE...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN THROUGH THE MID WEEK PERIOD WITH
RATHER TRANQUIL WINDS AND SEAS ANTICIPATED.
(THU NIGHT THROUGH SAT)
WINDS/SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SCA LEVELS THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD. HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NE WILL KEEP
RELATIVELY LIGHT WINDS ACROSS THE WATERS THROUGH FRI. MOISTURE FROM
REMNANTS OF FAY MAY TRIGGER A FEW SHOWERS ACROSS WESTERN MARINE
ZONES ON FRI...BUT BETTER PRECIP CHANCES SHOULD HOLD OFF UNTIL SAT
AFTN/SAT NIGHT WITH THE PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT. FOLLOWED WAVEWATCH
CLOSELY AS IT SEEMED REASONABLE.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
GENERALLY LESS THAN A TENTH OF AN INCH RAINFALL WITH THE COLD
FRONTAL PASSAGE ACROSS CONN AND LI REST OF THIS
