Hail and Damaging Wind in New York, May 27, 2008

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE UPTON NY
212 PM EDT TUE MAY 27 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY CROSS THE TRI-STATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE THEN BEGINS TO BUILD IN FROM THE MIDWEST
LATE TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. A TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE WILL CROSS THE REGION ON THURSDAY...FOLLOWED BY A WEAK
COLD FRONT THURSDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS IN FROM THE
SOUTHEAST FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
APPROACHES FROM THE GREAT LAKES SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...THEN
SLOWLY CROSSES THE AREA FROM SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
UPDATE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS BEING ISSUED FOR NYC/NE
NJ/LOWER HUDSON VALLEY/ AND SW CONN.

WITH HEATING THIS MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON CONDITIONS HAVE BECOME
MARGINAL TO MODERATELY UNSTABLE ACROSS THE LOWER HUDSON
VALLEY...NORTHEAST NEW JERSEY...AND MOST OF SOUTHWEST CT AHEAD OF
THE COLD FRONT. STORMS HAVE ALREADY BEGUN TO DEVELOP ACROSS ORANGE
COUNTY AND ARE EXPECTED TO SLIDE SE THROUGH THE WATCH AREA THIS
AFTERNOON.

WITH THE APPROACHING FRONT SERVING AS THE LIFTING MECHANISM...HAVE
THE INGREDIENTS NEED FOR CONVECTION. WITH NEAR UNIDIRECTIONAL
FLOW...HAVE PRIMARILY SPEED SHEAR (30-35 KT). FAVORING THE
DEVELOPMENT OF MULTICELLS FIRST AND THEN PERHAPS A LINEAR COMPLEX
AHEAD OF THIS FRONT LATER THIS AFTERNOON...POSSIBLY WITH EMBEDDED
BOWED SEGMENTS. IT WOULD BE IN ANY BOWED SEGMENTS THAT THE
GREATEST SEVERE THREAT EXISTS...PRIMARILY FROM DAMAGING WIND
GUSTS...THERMAL STRUCTURE IS MARGINAL AT BEST FOR HAIL...THOUGH
SOME HAIL OF AROUND PENNY SIZE CANNOT BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT.

REMAINDER OF AREA WILL ONLY HAVE A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON WITH STRONG STORMS LESS LIKELY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
THE FRONT SHOULD BE THROUGH THE MAIN THREAT AREA BY AROUND
00Z...WITH THE CONVECTIVE LINE MOVING INTO AN AREA STABILIZED IN
THE LOWEST LEVELS BY THE MARINE LEVEL (LONG ISLAND AND SE
CT...STILL COULD SEE 500-900 J/KG CAPES OVER SOUTHERN PARTS OF NE
NJ ZONES AND CITY ZONES)...HOWEVER ALOFT HAVE ENOUGH INSTABILITY
(AS NOTED BY SUB ZERO SHOWALTER INDEX 0-3Z OVER THAT REGION IN THE
NAM) TO SUPPORT ELEVATED CONVECTION. THUS WOULD EXPECT ANY
ORGANIZED LINE TO FALL APART AS IT HITS THE MARINE LAYER...WITH
MORE SCATTERED ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS. WITH MARINE
INFLUENCE...SEVERE THREAT IS GREATLY REDUCED...SO AM NOT GOING
WITH ANY GUSTY WIND WORDING IN THOSE LOCATIONS. THE FRONT SHOULD
BE S OF THE CWA BY AROUND 6Z...HOWEVER DO EXTENDED SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS PAST MIDNIGHT IN CASE FRONT ENDS UP A TAD SLOWER THAN
EXPECTED (NOTING MID LEVEL KICKER (500 MB TROUGH) DOES NOT CHANGE
FLOW FROM ZONAL UNTIL 6Z THAT IS A POSSIBILITY.

SKY CONDITIONS CLEAR OUT RAPIDLY BEHIND THE FRONT AND DEWPOINTS
FALL FROM THE 60S AHEAD OF IT INTO THE 40S BEHIND IT. THIS WILL
ALLOW FOR LOWS BY MORNING TO FALL INTO THE 40S (THOUGH AROUND 50
IN METRO AREAS).

DRY WEATHER WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...EVEN WITH THE
PASSAGE OF A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH THURSDAY AND WEAK COLD FRONT
THURSDAY NIGHT...AS SUPPORTING MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE IS NOT TERRIBLY
STRONG AND LIMITED MOISTURE IS AVAILABLE TO WORK WITH. HIGHS
WEDNESDAY WILL BE SOME 10-15 DEGREES COOLER THAN TODAY...WITH
HIGHS STRUGGLING TO REACH THE 70 DEGREE MARK (WITH 850 TEMPS
STRUGGLING TO REACH 5C THIS WILL BE HARD TO DO). SHOULD BE A FEW
DEGREES COOLER WEDNESDAY NIGHT THAN TONIGHT...OR AROUND 10 DEGREES
BELOW NORMAL. TEMPERATURES REBOUND NICELY AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT
THURSDAY...WITH TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL. NEAR NORMAL
LOWS ARE EXPECTED THURSDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
MADE LITTLE CHANGES TO EXTENDED...ESPECIALLY PAST SATURDAY. GFS
SUPPORTS YESTERDAYS HPC AND 00Z GEFS MEAN SOLUTION THROUGH
THEN...THEN DEPARTS FROM SOLUTION SUNDAY/MONDAY. BLENDED GFS BASED
GRIDDED MOS IN WITH CURRENT FORECAST FRI-SAT. BEYOND
THEN...BIGGEST CHANGE WAS TO REDUCE POPS MON IN AGREEMENT WITH
SURROUNDING OFFICES...CONSISTENT WITH IDEA OF 00Z GEFS THAT BULK
OF PRECIP SHOULD BE OFFSHORE MON...AND REMOVED THUNDER AS NOT AS
CLEAR CUT THAT WILL END UP IN WARM SECTOR (ALSO IN AGREEMENT WITH
SURROUNDING OFFICES). OTHERWISE MINOR TWEAKS WERE MADE TO BETTER
BLEND WITH SURROUNDING OFFICES. PREVIOUS LONG TERM DISCUSSION
FOLLOWS (WITH ANYTHING CONFLICTING THE ABOVE REMOVED)...

MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE PASSES NEARBY THE DEL-MAR-VA PENINSULA
THURSDAY EVENING...WITH A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH AT THE SURFACE. STILL
DOESNT LOOK LIKE ENOUGH MOISTURE WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR A MENTION
OF SHOWERS.

MODELS APPEAR TO DEPICT A WEAK COLD FRONT SLOWLY DROPPING SOUTHWARD
THROUGH UPSTATE NY/NEW ENGLAND AND WASHING OUT RIGHT AT...OR JUST
NORTH OF THE CWA ON FRIDAY. AGAIN...LOOKS TOO DRY FOR SHOWERS. 850
MB TEMPS PROBABLY AROUND 10C...WHICH TRANSLATES TO HIGHS WELL INTO
THE 70S AWAY FROM AWAY FROM THE COOLING INFLUENCE OF THE OCEAN AND
SOUND.

GFS AND ECMWF HAVE TRENDED QUICKER WITH OVERRUNNING/ISENTROPIC LIFT
OUT AHEAD OF A LOW TRACKING FROM THE PLAINS TO THE GREAT LAKES. WILL
KEEP ALL OF FRIDAY NIGHT DRY FOR NOW...BUT SOME FORM OF POPS MAY BE
NEEDED FOR AT LEAST WESTERN SECTIONS LATE AT NIGHT SHOULD THIS MODEL
TREND CONTINUE.

THE LOW IS FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES REGION DURING
SATURDAY...APPARENTLY STRENGTHENED BY A JET STREAK BEFORE THE
LONGWAVE PATTERN ALOFT AMPLIFIES AND SLOWS THE LOWS EASTWARD
PROGRESSION. THIS BRINGS THE LOW TO A POSITION IN NY/NEW ENGLAND AT
12Z MONDAY. CHANCE POPS THEREFORE FOR SAT THROUGH MON...WITH PERHAPS
THE HIGHEST CHANCES FROM SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. STILL
LOOKS LIKE WE GET INTO THE WARM SECTOR OF THIS SYSTEM BEFORE THE
TRAILING COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY
MORNING.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SCT CONVECTION ANTICIPATED ACROSS THE TERMINAL FORECAST AREA THROUGH
EARLY THIS EVENING ALONG AND AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT.
POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR ISOLATED STRONG/SEVERE CONVECTION WITH WIND
GUSTS UP TO 60 KT FROM NYC N AND W. GENERALLY A VFR FORECAST...BUT
BRIEFLY MVFR IN ANY CONVECTION. S/SW WINDS AT AROUND 10 KT THIS
AFTERNOON WILL VEER AROUND AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND BECOME N/NW WITH
FROPA AT 10 TO 15 KT WITH GUSTS UP TO 25 KT THIS EVENING. COLD
FRONTAL PASSAGE IS FORECAST TO OCCUR FROM 21Z AT KSWF TO 01Z KGON.
THE NORTHERLY FLOW DIMINISHES AFTER 12Z WED.

OUTLOOK FOR 18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
SUB-VFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE FRI NIGHT INTO SAT AS A FRONTAL SYSTEM
IMPACTS THE AREA...OTHERWISE VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
WITH A SOUTHERLY FLOW ACROSS THE FORECAST WATERS...AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT...SEAS ON THE OCEAN REMAIN ABOVE SMALL CRAFT
LEVELS. THERE MAY BE AN OCCASIONAL GUST TO SMALL CRAFT
LEVELS...HOWEVER LOW LEVELS REMAIN RATHER STABLE WITH THE RELATIVELY
COLD OCEAN. SEAS LIKELY REMAIN ABOVE SMALL CRAFT AHEAD OF THE
FRONT...THEN WITH THE PASSAGE SEAS MAY FALL BELOW SMALL CRAFT LEVELS
FOR A BRIEF PERIOD. WINDS INCREASE BEHIND THE FRONT LATE TONIGHT AND
SUSTAINED WINDS ON THE OCEAN MAY EXCEED SMALL CRAFT LEVELS...WITH
GUSTS ABOVE SMALL CRAFT LEVELS. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS FROM THE WEST
AND THE PRESSURE GRADIENT AND WINDS QUICKLY SUBSIDE EARLY WEDNESDAY.
FOR NOW WILL ONLY POST THE SMALL CRAFT THROUGH TONIGHT AND WAIT FOR
NEXT FORECAST PACKAGE TO REEVALUATE NEED INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING.

WITH THE HIGH SLOWLY BUILDING INTO THE WATERS THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT
WINDS AND SEAS ON ALL THE WATERS WILL BE BELOW SMALL CRAFT. A WEAK
TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING WITH A WIND
SHIFT. WINDS AND SEAS ON THE OCEAN MAY BUILD BACK TO SMALL CRAFT
LEVELS BY LATE FRIDAY AS A LOW MOVES THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND A
SOUTHERLY FLOW INCREASES. BY LATE SATURDAY THE STORM MOVES THROUGH
NEW ENGLAND AND WINDS WILL SUBSIDE.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
GENERALLY LOOKING AT 1/4 TO 1/2 INCH OF QPF WITH SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING...WITH LOCALLY
HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE IN ANY STRONGER STORMS (NOTING FORECAST
PWATS OF 1.5-1.75 INCHES THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING)...SO
MINOR FLOODING OF PRIMARILY URBAN POOR DRAINAGE AREAS IS POSSIBLE.

&&

.OKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CT...NONE.
NY...NONE.
NJ...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 6 AM EDT WEDNESDAY FOR ANZ350-353-
     355.
