AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
1024 PM EST THU FEB 25 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
A INTENSE STORM WITH MULTIPLE CENTERS...ONE OVER LONG ISLAND
SOUND THIS EVENING AND ANOTHER SOUTH OF NANTUCKET...WILL
CONSOLIDATE OVER CONNECTICUT AND LONG ISLAND OVERNIGHT. THE STORM
WILL THEN LOOP-DE-LOOP OVER THE TRI-STATE AREA ON FRIDAY...AND
THEN DRIFT SLOWLY NORTH INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WHILE WEAKENING
SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. A SECOND STORM WILL PASS WELL EAST
OF THE AREA ON SUNDAY ON ITS WAY TO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES...AND
THEN STALL THERE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL THEN SLOWLY BUILD FROM THE PLAINS STATES INTO THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK. YET ANOTHER COASTAL LOW WILL PASS WELL TO THE SOUTHEAST
NEXT THURSDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
LATEST SFC OBS REVEAL TWO CENTERS TO THE INTENSE OCEAN STORM...ONE
AT 976 MB OVER PECONIC BAY...AND ANOTHER DEEPER CENTER S OF BLOCK
ISLAND AND NANTUCKET PER ACK OB AT ONLY 974 MB. THESE SHOULD
CONSOLIDATE OVER CT/LONG ISLAND TONIGHT...WITH TEMPS OVER CT/LONG
ISLAND GRADUALLY COOLING AS THE LOW BECOMES VERTICALLY STACKED AND
ALSO VIA CAA ON INCREASING WESTERLY FLOW. MT POCONO PA EXPERIENCED
AT 44-KT GUST EARLIER THIS EVENING...AND THINK SIMILAR GUSTS WILL
OCCUR OVER NYC METRO AND LONG ISLAND OVERNIGHT. PLACES IN NYC MAY
EVEN SEE SUSTAINED WINDS OF 40 MPH FOR A BRIEF TIME LATER TONIGHT.
SAT WV IMAGERY SHOWS DRY SLOT ALOFT PASSING TO THE EAST AFTER
DEALING NYC A GLANCING BLOW. SNOW BANDS VIA H7 FRONTOGENESIS AND
STRONG POSITIVE H8 THETA E ADVECTION FROM THE NORTHEAST WILL
PERSIST OVER THE AREA AS THE LOW TRACKS NW INTO THE CWA...WITH
ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS OF AT LEAST 4-6 INCHES EXPECTED TONIGHT
IN NYC...NORTHEAST NJ AND THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY. SNOW COULD BE
LOCALLY HEAVY AT TIMES...WITH NEAR- BLIZZARD CONDITIONS IN NYC
METRO AND THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. DO NOT ANTICIPATE THESE
CONDITIONS LASTING LONG ENOUGH TO WARRANT BLIZZARD WARNING...AND
WSW UPDATE WILL INCLUDE MENTION OF WINDS HAZARDS RATHER THAN A
SEPARATE WIND ADVISORY OR HIGH WIND WARNING...AS PRECIP AND WIND
HAZARDS WILL OVERLAP.
FARTHER EAST...RAIN/SNOW LINE MAKING PROGRESS INTO CENTRAL LONG
ISLAND AS W FLOW INCREASES...AND ACCUMULATIONS OF 1-3 INCHES ARE
POSSIBLE IN WESTERN SUFFOLK TONIGHT. RAIN/SNOW LINE HOWEVER VERY
SLOW TO PROGRESS EASTWARD INTO SOUTHERN CT WHERE RAIN WAS STILL
FALLING AT DANBURY AT 03Z...BUT NOT FOR LONG AS W FLOW IS KICKING
IN THERE AND PUSHING COASTAL FRONT BACK TO THE W. COOLING OF THE
ENTIRE VERTICAL COLUMN AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES OVERHEAD SHOULD ALSO
AID IN BRINGING TEMPS DOWN THERE LATE TONIGHT...BUT TOO LATE FOR
ANY MEANINGFUL ACCUMULATION. STILL EXPECT MAINLY RAIN...WITH LITTLE
OR NO SNOW ACCUMULATION THERE OR ACROSS EASTERN LONG ISLAND
OVERNIGHT.
OVER AREAS EAST OF THE HUDSON...THE BULK OF THE SNOW INITIALLY
WILL ACCUMULATE PRIMARILY ON GRASSY SURFACES...UNTIL COLDER AIR
WORKS IN OVERNIGHT.
FOR LOWS BLENDED 18Z NAM AND 01Z LAV TEMPERATURES...GENERALLY
FROM THE UPPER 20S TO AROUND 30.
MINOR FLOODING OF POOR DRAINAGE/URBAN AREAS IS STILL POSSIBLE EAST
OF THE RAIN/SNOW LINE OVER EASTERN PUTNAM COUNTY AND SOUTHERN CT
UNTIL THE RAIN CHANGES TO SNOW. SEE THE HYDROLOGY SECTION FOR
DETAILS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY/...
NAM AND GFS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY THEN
DIVERGE ON TRACK OF STORM. WITH THE GFS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MODEL
SPREAD...HAVE OPTED FOR ITS SOLUTION ON DRIFTING THE LOW NORTH
TO NEAR THE CT/MA LINE BY SATURDAY EVENING. FOR THERMAL
PROFILES...HAVE OPTED FOR BETTER VERIFYING NAM PROFILES SO FAR
THIS WINTER...ESPECIALLY NOTING OVERALL CLOSENESS OF THE NAM/GFS.
BEST FORCING TRANSLATES EAST DURING THE DAY ON FRIDAY...SO EXPECT
INTENSITY OF SNOW OVER WESTERN AREAS TO DIMINISH. WRAP AROUND
SNOWS SHOULD CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY NIGHT AND POSSIBLY INTO SATURDAY
DEPENDING ON EXACT TRACK OF STORM AND HOW QUICKLY THE DECAYING
CUTOFF LOW DETACHES FROM THE TROPICAL MOISTURE FLOW CURRENTLY
FEEDING THE SYSTEM.
BASED ON ALL THIS...HAVE EXTENDED ALL WINTER WEATHER PRODUCTS
THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...HAVE EXPANDED THE WINTER STORM WARNING TO
INCLUDE FAIRFIELD AND WESTERN SUFFOLK COUNTIES...AND HAVE PLACED A
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY
NIGHT FROM NEW HAVEN COUNTY ON EAST IN CT AND EASTERN SUFFOLK COUNTY.
FOR SNOW TOTALS...EXPECT 15-20 INCHES WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS
ACROSS NE NJ AND THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY W OF THE HUDSON...9 TO 16
INCHES...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS...FROM NYC NORTH THROUGH
PUTNAM COUNTY...6 TO 11 INCHES ACROSS NASSAU AND FAIRFIELD
COUNTIES...AND 5 TO 10 INCHES ACROSS WESTERN SUFFOLK COUNTY. IN THE
ADVISORY AREA...EXPECT 5 TO 9 INCHES ACROSS NEW HAVEN COUNTY...3
TO 7 INCHES IN MIDDLESEX AND EASTERN SUFFOLK COUNTIES...AND 2 TO 4
INCHES IN NEW LONDON COUNTY BY SATURDAY MORNING.
LESS CERTAIN ABOUT ADDITIONAL MEASURABLE SNOW ON SATURDAY...SO
HAVE NOT EXPANDED HEADLINES...OR PUT ANY APPRECIABLE MEASURABLE
SNOW IN THE FORECAST FOR THEN. IF CONFIDENCE INCREASES WITH ALTER
SHIFTS...THIS MAY BE DONE IN THE FUTURE.
FOR TEMPERATURES BLENDED MAV/MET GUIDANCE WITH NAM 2-METER TEMPERATURES.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE UPPER
PATTERN FEATURES THROUGH AT LEAST MON...THEN THE GFS BECOMES MORE
PROGRESSIVE THAN THE ECMWF/CMC FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD. TWO STORMS TO WATCH DURING THE LONG TERM...THE FIRST SUN
NIGHT INTO MON AND ANOTHER TUE NIGHT INTO WED.
STORM SYSTEM CURRENTLY AFFECTING THE AREA FINALLY WEAKENS SAT NIGHT
WITH SNOW SHOWERS TAPERING OFF. MODELS BREAK DOWN THE REX BLOCK OVER
EASTERN CANADA/NORTHEAST US ALLOWING THE CLOSED UPPER LOW TO START
MOVING EAST. AN UPPER TROUGH OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS MOVES ACROSS
THE GULF COAST WITH THE MODELS (EVEN THE END OF THE SHORT TERM MODEL
GUIDANCE) CURRENTLY TAKING IT OFF THE COAST OF FL AND TRACKING
NE...PASSING WELL EAST OF THE AREA SUN NIGHT/MON. THIS IS QUICKLY
FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER SOUTHERN STREAM TROUGH MOVING ACROSS THE
WEST...AND MERGING WITH THE NORTHERN STREAM ON MON.
INTERESTINGLY...THE ECMWF PINCHES OFF THE UPPER TROUGH WHILE THE GFS
REMAINS AN OPEN WAVE...WHICH IS THE REASON WHY THE EC IS CLOSER TO
THE COAST AND IS SLOWER.
THIS SEASON HAS BEEN DOMINATED BY BLOCKING DOWNSTREAM WITH STORMS
GRADUALLY SHIFTING WESTWARD WITH SUBSEQUENT MODEL RUNS.
THEREFORE...WENT ABOVE GUIDANCE WITH POPS AND HAVE LOW CHC SUN
NIGHT/MON...BUT ONLY SCHC FOR TUE NIGHT/WED WITH UNCERTAINTY
INCREASING WITH TIME. EXPECT A MIX OF P-TYPE DURING THESE EVENTS
WITH RAIN DURING THE DAY CHANGING OVER TO SNOW AT NIGHT.
TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO BE NEAR NORMAL LEVELS THROUGH THE PERIOD.
&&
.AVIATION /03Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
LOW PRESSURE SOUTH OF CAPE COD WILL TRACK WEST ACROSS CT
OVERNIGHT...THEN TO NRN NJ BY FRIDAY MORNING. THE LOW WILL THEN
MEANDER JUST SOUTH OF NYC AND PASS OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE DAY.
THIS WILL RESULT IN A CHALLENGING FORECAST. EXPECT ALL TERMINALS
TO TRANSITION TO SNOW...WITH KBDR/KISP AND THEN KGON CHANGING TO
SNOW AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSES. NOT TOO CONFIDENT IN INTENSITY...AND
WILL KEEP VSBYS AROUND 1 TO 2 NM WITH IFR TO LIFR CEILINGS.
WINDS WILL BE CHANGEABLE AS THE LOW PASSES NEARBY. PLEASE REFER TO
INDIVIDUAL TERMINALS FORECASTS FOR SPECIFIC DIRECTIONS AND SPEEDS
DUE TO THE TRACK OF THE LOW.
ON AND OFF LIGHT SNOW EXPECTED THROUGH THE DAY FRIDAY.
00Z SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
FRI NIGHT...IFR WITH LIGHT SNOW.
SAT-SUN...MVFR CIGS. SCT SNSH.
MON...VFR CIGS NW WND G 30KT.
TUE...MVFR GIGS -SN POSSIBLE.
&&
.MARINE...
MARINE HEADLINES LEFT INTACT...AS ALL WATERS EXPECTED TO SEE GALE
CONDITIONS TONIGHT. HIGHEST GUSTS WILL BE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE OCEAN ZONES...WHERE GUSTS COULD BRIEFLY REACH 50
KT.
THE HIGHEST SEAS WILL BE 13 TO 17 FT ON THE OCEAN. 3 TO 6 FT SEAS
CAN BE EXPECTED ON LONG ISLAND SOUND WITH THE HIGHEST WAVES ACROSS
EASTERN SECTIONS.
WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY NEED SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES FOLLOWING THE
GALES FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT.
THE LOW CENTER STALLS BASICALLY OVER THE NY BIGHT THROUGH
SATURDAY...THEN SLOWLY PULLS AWAY SUNDAY.
SCA WILL LIKELY LINGER ON THE OCEAN WATERS SAT NIGHT...BUT WINDS AND
SEAS WILL BE DIMINISHING. DEPENDING ON THE TRACK AND STRENGTH OF THE
SYSTEM SUN NIGHT/MON...COULD NEED FLAGS (POSSIBLY GALES) SUN NIGHT
THROUGH MON NIGHT.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
ONE TO TWO INCHES OF RAIN AND/OR SNOW WATER EQUIVALENT HAVE
FALLEN...WITH AN ADDITIONAL 1/2 TO 3/4 INCH QPF FOR TONIGHT
BEFORE CHANGING TO SNOW. PONDING OF WATER ON ROADWAYS AND MINOR
FLOODING OF LOW LYING AREAS IS STILL EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT...
BUT NOT LIFE THREATENING. NAUGATUCK RIVER AT WATERBURY IN NEW
HAVEN COUNTY CT HAS REACHED ACTION STAGE AND MAY APPROACH BANK
FULL...ALONG WITH OTHER NEARBY SMALL STREAMS...WHICH MAY
EVENTUALLY REQUIRE AN AREAL FLOOD WARNING.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
FOR THE FRIDAY MORNING HIGH TIDE CYCLE...THE HIGHER OF THE TWO
ASTRONOMICAL TIDES FOR THE DAY...THE STORM WILL BE CENTERED CLOSE
TO NYC. SHIFTING WINDS SHOULD HELP PREVENT WATER LEVELS FROM
BUILDING...AND GUIDANCE INDICATES WATER LEVELS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW
MINOR THRESHOLDS. HOWEVER...WILL STILL MONITOR LEVELS
CLOSELY...AS VERY LOW AIR PRESSURE MAY HELP BOOST LEVELS.
