AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
144 PM EDT TUE JUN 1 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST AND PASS THROUGH THE
REGION LATE TODAY. HIGH PRESSURE BRIEFLY BUILDS WEDNESDAY...FOLLOWED
BY A SERIES OF FRONTAL BOUNDARIES THAT WILL IMPACT THE REGION INTO
THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
WITH LITTLE CLOUD COVER OVER LONG ISLAND THIS MORNING...UPDATED
SKY GRIDS AND BUMPED TEMPERATURES UP A FEW DEGREES TO ACCOUNT FOR
HEATING. CLOUDS AND SHOWERS OVER PA ARE MOVING EASTWARD...SO
SKIES WILL BECOME CLOUDY WITH INCREASING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON.

AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS PROGGED TO MOVE ACROSS NORTHERN NEW
ENGLAND TODAY AS DEPICTED BY GLOBAL MODELS/ENSEMBLES. LOCAL AREA
IN THE WARM SECTOR TODAY...AND MARGINAL INSTABILITY CAN BE
EXPECTED IN SPITE OF CLOUD COVER. CAPES IN THE 500 TO 1000 J/KG
RANGE EXPECTED...WITH HIGHEST SFC BASED AND MIXED LAYER
INSTABILITY TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF NYC. DEEP WESTERLY
SHEAR...PLENTY OF WARM AIR/MOISTURE ADVECTION AND PRESENCE OF
THETA-E RIDGE AHEAD OF THIS FRONT...BUT LIFT IS WEAK AS SHORTWAVE
PASSES BY.

PERCENT OF PRECIPITABLE WATER CONTENT WELL ABOVE NORMAL TODAY...SO
HEAVY DOWNPOURS ARE POSSIBLE. EXPECT COVERAGE TO INCREASE AS
HEATING GETS UNDERWAY...AND THUS WILL CONTINUE WITH LIKELY
POPS.

AS FOR TEMPS...A MODEL BLEND ACCEPTED...WITH TWEAKS DOWNWARD FURTHER
EAST WITH ONSHORE WINDS...AND WARMER AWAY FROM MARINE INFLUENCE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
FAIRLY ACTIVE THIS TIME FRAME IN ZONAL FLOW. MODEL DIFFERENCES
NOTED WITH REGARD TO SFC LOW PRESSURE PASSING TO OUR NORTH
THURSDAY...AND COLD FRONTAL MOVEMENT. GFS APPEARS TO BE AN OUTLIER
WITH INTENSITY OF SFC LOW OVER NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND BY LATE THU.
BELIEVE CONVECTIVE ISSUES HAVE ARISEN WITH THE GFS AS THIS
INTENSIFICATION SEEMS TO BE AT ODDS WITH THE WEAK UPPER SUPPORT.
WOULD LEAN TOWARD OTHER MODEL SOLUTIONS OF WEAKER SFC LOW PRESSURE
ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY.

IN THE MEANTIME...WEAK RIDGING AT ALL LEVELS BEHIND COLD FRONTAL
PASSAGE/MID AND UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE OVERNIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.
HIGHEST CONFIDENCE FOR DRY WEATHER THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTER
LINGERING EVENING SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS.

COULD SEE SOME FOG IN LIGHT WIND FLOW TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY OVER AREAS
THAT RECEIVE APPRECIABLE RAINFALL.

AS MENTIONED...DRY WEDNESDAY THEN FORECAST BECOMES A LITTLE LESS
CERTAIN. GLOBAL/ENSEMBLES MODELS HANDLE SFC LOW AND FRONT
DIFFERENTLY THURSDAY. ITS ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT WOULD PUSH
THROUGH...AND LAYER HUMIDITY/PW INCREASES WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
THURSDAY. WILL NEED TO INTRODUCE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND TSTMS LATE
WED NIGHT AND THURSDAY.

TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL...WITH MODEL
BLEND USED.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
A NEARLY ZONAL FLOW ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CONUS WILL SEND
SEVERAL FRONTAL SYSTEMS ACROSS THE AREA DURING THIS TIME. GLOBAL
MODELS WITH THE FAST FLOW ARE SUFFERING FROM TIMING ISSUES WITH A
PREFERENCE TOWARD THE ECMWF...WHICH IS SLOWER WITH THE FIRST FRONTAL
SYSTEM THU INTO FRIDAY...BUT SLIGHTLY FASTER WITH THE NEXT ONE ON
SUNDAY. WHAT DOES SEEM TO BE CERTAIN IS THAT SUCH A FLOW AT THIS
TIME OF YEAR SHOULD LEAD TO AN ACTIVE PERIOD OF CONVECTION. BOTH
EPISODES LOOK TO FEATURE MODERATE INSTABILITY AND MODERATE STRAIGHT
LINE SHEAR. TIMING OF DAY IS ALSO A FACTOR AS TO DETERMINE THE
EXTENT OF DESTABILIZATION OF THE AIR MASS...BUT IT IS CLEARLY TOO
EARLY FOR SUCH DETAILS.

THE PERIOD WILL FEATURE HIGHS IN THE MID 70S TO LOWER 80S...WITH
PLENTY OF CLOUD COVER FROM UPSTREAM CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS. IN
ADDITION...WITH DEW POINTS GENERALLY IN THE 60S...IT WILL BE
MUGGY.

ONE CAVEAT HERE...THE 00Z ECMWF HINTS AT THE COLD FRONT THAT IS
FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH ON FRIDAY STALLING OUT ACROSS THE AREA
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THIS COULD RESULT IN A MORE ACTIVE DAY FOR
SATURDAY WITH RESPECT TO CONVECTION THAN IS CURRENTLY FORECAST.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
GENERALLY VFR...EXCEPT WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT WILL IMPACT THE
TERMINALS FROM 18Z THROUGH 22Z AS LINE COMES THROUGH. ANOTHER
LINE...THROUGH CENTRAL PA AT 1730Z...IS WEAKER AND MAY NOT BE MUCH
WHEN IT COME THROUGH THE TERMINALS...22Z TO 01Z. A WEAK COLD FRONT
MOVES THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING WITH SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS SHIFTING
TO THE WEST TO WEST NORTHWEST AND DIMINISHING.

WINDS BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE UNDER CLEAR SKIES TONIGHT AND SOME
PATCHY MVFR FOG POSSIBLE...KSWF...KHPN...AND KGON. AFTER 13Z WINDS
BECOME SOUTHERLY 5 TO 10 KT...EXCEPT A LITTLE STRONGER AT KJFK.

&&

.MARINE...
TYPICAL LATE SPRING PATTERN WITH EPISODES OF MODERATE S/SW FLOW
AHEAD OF APPROACHING COLD FRONTS. MIXING WILL BE LIMITED IN WAA FLOW
OVER THE CHILLY WATERS.

WILL EXTEND SCA FOR ALL OCEAN SEAS AS STRENGTHENING SW FLOW AHEAD OF
A COLD FRONT SHOULD ALLOW FOR SEAS TO BUILD TO MARGINAL SCA LEVELS.
OCCASIONAL GUSTS TO SCA LEVELS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NEARSHORE WATERS
TODAY...BUT NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH IN FREQUENCY FOR SCA. THESE
CONDITIONS WILL GRADUALLY SUBSIDE TONIGHT AS WINDS WEAKEN IN THE
WAKE OF A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. A FEW TSTMS POSSIBLE
TODAY...ESPECIALLY WESTERN WATERS.

SUB SCA CONDS EXPECTED WED INTO WED NIGHT AS WEAK HIGH SLIDES ACROSS
AND EAST OF THE AREA.

STRENGTHENING SLY FLOW THU AND THU NIGHT AHEAD OF NEXT FRONTAL
SYSTEM. OCCASIONAL NEARSHORE SCA WINDS GUSTS POSSIBLE ONCE AGAIN.
SCA SEAS POSSIBLE ON THE OCEAN BY THU NIGHT IN S FETCH...LINGERING
INTO FRI. COLD FRONT SLOWLY COMES THROUGH THU NIGHT INTO FRI WITH
STRONG TSTMS POSSIBLE.

A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT MAY LINGER OVER THE WATERS OVER
THE WEEKEND...BUT IT IS TOO FAR OUT TO RESOLVE THE DETAILS AT THIS
TIME. A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE WATERS LATE SUNDAY WITH A
WESTERLY FLOW ON MON.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE TODAY WILL LEAD TO POTENTIAL LOCAL HEAVY
DOWNPOURS IN THUNDERSTORMS. ALTHOUGH WIDESPREAD FLOODING IS NOT
EXPECTED AT THIS TIME...LOCAL URBAN FLOODING AND SHARP RISES ON AREA
CREEKS AND STREAMS IS POSSIBLE WHERE STORMS OCCUR.
