AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
540 AM EDT TUE JUN 9 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONT WILL LIKELY REMAIN TO OUR SOUTH THROUGH THURSDAY...AS
HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS ANCHORED OVER SOUTHEAST CANADA...RIDGING
DOWN INTO THE NORTHEASTERN STATES. WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE WILL RIDE
ALONG IT. THE FIRST LOW PASSES SOUTH OF THE TRI-STATE
TODAY INTO TONIGHT...WITH A SERIES OF LOWS AFFECTING THE AREA
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS IN FOR THE
WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH LIFTS FROM THE GREAT LAKES THIS MORNING
INTO WESTERN QUEBEC TODAY. SURFACE LOW PRESSURE TAKES A SIMILAR
TRACK...WHILE HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY SLIDES FROM NORTHERN NEW
ENGLAND INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES. ITS ASSOCIATED WARM
FRONT...JUST SE OF THE REGION THIS MORNING...WILL LIKELY HAVE
TROUBLE MOVING MUCH FARTHER NE TODAY WITH COOL WATERS...WEAK LOW-LEVEL
WINDS AND FAR INTERIOR TRACK OF LOW PRESSURE. WILL LEAN TOWARDS
LESS PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT OF THE WARM FRONT AS DEPICTED BY THE
NAM...KEEPING REGION IN MORE STABLE LOW-LEVELS.

COMBINATION OF EASTERLY UPSLOPE LOW-LEVEL FLOW...MARGINAL ELEVATED
INSTABILITY...MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE FORCING...AND PWATS AROUND 1 3/4
INCHES ALLOWING FOR MODERATE TO HEAVY RA/TSRA ACTIVITY EARLY THIS
MORNING...WHICH WILL TRANSLATE E THROUGH THE MORNING. BEST CHANCE OF
TSRA ACROSS SW ZONES WITH BEST ELEVATED INSTABILITY...WANING TO THE
NE. WOULD EXPECT HEAVIER SHOWER ACTIVITY TO END FROM W TO E
THROUGH THE LATE MORNING/AFTERNOON AS NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE
TROUGH PIVOTS NE. BUT WITH WEAK SURFACE LOW/TROUGH HANGING TO THE
WEST...WARM FRONT SW OF THE AREA...AND CONTINUED LOW-LEVEL UPSLOPE
ONSHORE FLOW...WOULD EXPECT A CHANCE OF LIGHT SHOWER ACTIVITY AND
DRIZZLE TO CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON.

WITH CLOUDS...ONSHORE FLOW...AND SHOWER/DRIZZLE ACTIVITY TEMPS WILL
LIKELY HOLD IN THE 60S ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION...PERHAPS SOME
LOWER 70S ACROSS NY/NJ METRO. LEANING TOWARDS COOLER NAM
NUMBERS...SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW SEASONABLE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
UNSETTLED THROUGH THE PERIOD. SPLIT UPPER FLOW TONIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY...GIVING WAY TO A SLOW APPROACH OF WEAKLY PHASED SOUTHERN
AND NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE ENERGY WED NIGHT INTO THURS.

NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE PIVOTS INTO CANADIAN MARITIMES
TONIGHT...WHILE SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE AMPLIFIES OFF MID-ATLANTIC
COAST TONIGHT INTO WED. THIS WILL LIKELY HAVE WEAK SURFACE LOW
PRESSURE...WEST OF THE REGION TODAY...TRANSLATING SOUTH OF REGION
TONIGHT INTO WED AS SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE SLIDES OFFSHORE. THE
SURFACE WARM FRONT WILL LIKELY CONTINUING TO SIT JUST SOUTH OF THE
REGION AS HIGH PRESSURE HOLDS ON OVER THE CANADIAN
MARITIMES...PROVIDING ONSHORE FLOW AND CAD INTO THE REGION. WITH
WEAK ISENTROPIC LIFT FROM ONSHORE FLOW AND MOIST LOW LEVELS...WILL
LIKELY SEE CONTINUE SCATTERED LIGHT SHOWER ACTIVITY AND AREAS OF
DRIZZLE AND FOG ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT THROUGH WED EVE. TEMPS
RUNNING BELOW SEASONABLE ON WED IN ONSHORE FLOW AND
CLOUDS/DRIZZLE.

UPPER FLOW CONSOLIDATES TO SOUTHWESTERLY WED NIGHT AHEAD OF
WEAKLY PHASED NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE ENERGY. THIS
WILL LIKELY HAVE A SERIES OF WAVES APPROACHING THE REGION ALONG
THE WARM FRONT. THE FIRST OF WHICH LOOKS TO APPROACH LATE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT FROM THE OHIO VALLEY...WITH SUBSEQUENT WAVES
THROUGH FRIDAY. QUITE A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY EXISTS IN THE TRACK OF
THE WAVES AND EVENTUAL CONSOLIDATION INTO MAIN LOW PRESSURE. THIS
WILL HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON INSTABILITY AND QPF.

NONETHELESS...WITH ASSOCIATED MID AND LOW- LEVEL FORCING AND ABUNDANT
MOISTURE TO WORK WITH...WIDESPREAD SHOWER ACTIVITY IS LIKELY DURING
THIS TIME.

AT LEAST MARGINAL ELEVATED INSTABILITY AND FORCING WILL PRESENT
THE POSSIBILITY OF EMBEDDED ELEVATED TSTMS ACTIVITY. IF THE WARM
FRONT CONTINUE TO STRADDLE THE AREAS WITH THE SURFACE WAVES TRACKING
IN CLOSE VICINITY OF THE REGION...PWATS COULD APPROACH 2 INCHES.
THIS WOULD BRING THE THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING LATE
WED NIGHT INTO THURS NIGHT. WILL ADDRESS LOW-END FLASH FLOOD
THREAT IN HWO AT THIS TIME.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN CONTINUES THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK
WEEK. NEXT WEEKEND STILL LOOKS GENERALLY DRY AND FAIR...BUT STILL DO
NOT SEE A PROLONGED PERIOD OF BENIGN WEATHER IN SIGHT. HAVE ONCE
AGAIN LEANED HEAVILY ON HPC GUIDANCE.

THIS SCENARIO WILL TRACK ONE OR A SERIES OF LOW PRESSURE WAVES FROM
THE OHIO VALLEY TO THE NEW ENGLAND COAST THU NIGHT THROUGH FRI. THE
JURY STILL REMAINS OUT WHETHER THE LOCAL AREA IS ABLE TO WARM SECTOR
DUE TO UNCERTAINTY WITH THE EXACT LOW TRACK...BUT THERE COULD AT
LEAST BE ELEVATED INSTABILITY PRESENT THU NIGHT SO HAVE INCLUDED
SLIGHT CHANCE TSTMS DURING THIS TIME.

RAIN CONTINUES INTO FRI MORNING...TAPERING OFF DURING THE AFTERNOON.
POTENTIAL FOR URBAN FLOODING IS PRESENT.

HAVE KEPT THE WEEKEND DRY ALTHOUGH TROUGHINESS REMAINS ACROSS THE
EASTERN US. NO REAL SHORTWAVES IN THE FLOW UNTIL SUN NIGHT/MON WHEN
CHANCE POPS RETURN.

TEMPS SHOULD BE RIGHT AROUND NORMAL LEVELS...EXCEPT FOR THU NIGHT
AND FRI...WHERE ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER AND RAIN WILL KEEP IT SLIGHTLY
WARMER THU NIGHT AND SLIGHTLY COOLER ON FRI.

&&

.AVIATION /10Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
IFR TO LIFR CEILINGS GENERALLY THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD AS
STRATUS REMAINS WITH AN EASTERLY FLOW AHEAD OF A WARM FRONT.
VISIBILITIES WILL LIKELY REMAIN MVFR. SOLID LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA WILL HOLD TOGETHER AS IT APPROACHES
THE NYC AREA TERMINALS. ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
POSSIBLE 18Z TO 01Z WITH ELEVATED INSTABILITY...THERE MAY BE A
BRIEF IMPROVEMENT IN CEILINGS TO MVFR DURING THE DAY...ALTHOUGH
CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW.

OUTLOOK FOR 06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
TUE NIGHT...WED AND WED NIGHT...IFR CEILINGS AND MVFR TO IFR
VISIBILITIES IN FOG...LIGHT RAIN AND DRIZZLE.
THU AND FRI...SUB-VFR LIKELY WITH RAIN AND CHANCE OF TSTMS.
FRI NIGHT-SAT...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE SOUTHEAST COAST OF NEW ENGLAND
WITH WEAKENING LOW PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES TODAY INTO
TONIGHT WILL KEEP WINDS AND SEAS BELOW SMALL CRAFT LEVELS. SHOWERS
AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ON THE AREA WATERS.
TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT VISIBILITIES WILL LIKELY BE REDUCED IN
DRIZZLE AND FOG WITH A LIGHT EASTERLY FLOW.

LOW PRESSURE DEEPENING OVER THE WATERS THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY
WILL LIKELY INCREASE SEAS ON THE OCEAN TO MINIMAL SMALL CRAFT
LEVELS. WINDS WILL INCREASE FROM THE SOUTHEAST BUT ARE EXPECTED TO
REMAIN BELOW 25 KT. DEPENDING ON THE STRENGTH AND TRACK OF THIS LOW
THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY A SCA MAY BE NEED ON THE WATERS.

OTHERWISE WINDS AND SEAS WILL AGAIN BE BELOW SMALL CRAFT LEVELS
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
AN ADDITIONAL 1/2 TO 1 INCH QPF POSSIBLE THIS MORNING...LOCALLY
HIGHER AMOUNTS IN CONVECTION.

ADDITIONAL SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL POSSIBLE FROM LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT
INTO FRIDAY...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR OVER 1 INCH OF RAINFALL. GIVEN
RECENT RAINFALL...THERE COULD BE SOME CONCERNS WITH FLOODING
DEPENDING UPON HOW MUCH RAIN ACTUALLY FALLS. WILL ADDRESS THE LOW
END FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL IN HWO FOR NOW.

&&
