AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
348 PM EDT MON SEP 13 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA TONIGHT...THEN MOVE EAST
TUESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BRIEFLY...WITH YET
ANOTHER WEAK COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE EXPECTED TUESDAY NIGHT. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL RETURN FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. ANOTHER STORM
SYSTEM WILL IMPACT THE AREA LATE THIS WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
ANY LINGERING SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS WILL DIMINISH BOTH IN
INTENSITY AND COVERAGE AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSES. SHORTWAVE EMBEDDED
IN MEAN TROUGH MOVES QUICKLY EAST OVERNIGHT. PREFRONTAL TROUGH GIVES
WAY TO ACTUAL COLD FRONT LATER TONIGHT...WITH GRADUAL CLEARING
ANTICIPATED.

FOLLOWED A MOS BLEND OVERNIGHT. LOWS WILL DEPEND ON WHERE AND WHEN
CLEARING OCCURS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THIS TIME FRAME WILL BE INFLUENCED BY CLOSED UPPER LOW IN
SOUTHEASTERN CANADA...AND EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES THAT PIVOT SOUTH
OF THIS CLOSED LOW AND MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHEAST. INITIAL SHORTWAVE
PASSES EAST OF THE AREA TUESDAY...WITH DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED IN
DEEP NORTHWEST FLOW. SHOULD SEE SOME AFTERNOON GUSTS AS LAPSE RATES
SUPPORT MIXING.

NEXT SHORTWAVE APPROACHES TUESDAY NIGHT. ONLY EXPECT SOME CLOUDS TO
ACCOMPANY THIS FEATURE ATTM DUE TO MID LEVEL LIFT. HOWEVER...TOO
MUCH DRY AIR TO OVERCOME FOR ANY POPS/WEATHER TO BE INCLUDED.

THESE CLOUDS SHOULD PREVENT TEMPS FROM BOTTOMING OUT TOO MUCH IN
THIS PROGRESSIVELY CHILLY AIRMASS.

ON WEDNESDAY...WEST/NORTHWEST FLOW CONTINUES...WITH AREA BETWEEN MID AND
UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVES. SFC HIGH EVENTUALLY BUILDS AND MOVES EAST BY
THURSDAY. LOCAL AREA TRANSITIONS FROM DRY WEST/NORTHWEST FLOW TO EAST
SOUTHEAST. UPSTREAM LOW PRESSURE AND WARM FRONT WILL APPROACH
THURSDAY...WITH AN INCREASE IN CLOUDS EXPECTED. SHOWERS POSSIBLE
WITH DETAILS STILL IN QUESTION DUE TO MODEL POSITION/TIMING
DIFFERENCES.

TEMPS WILL COOL IN TIME AS CANADIAN AIR SWEEPS SOUTHEASTWARD OVER
THE NORTHEAST. SEASONABLE TEMPS ON TUESDAY WILL GIVE WAY TO BELOW
NORMAL TEMPS WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. CLOUDS AND ONSHORE FLOW SHOULD
RESULT IN COOLER TEMPS THURSDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO DIVERGE ON THE EVOLUTION AND TIMING OF
THE WAVE OF LOW PRES CROSSING THE MIDWEST AND INTO THE NORTHEAST
DURING THE END OF THE SHORT TERM PERIOD WHICH WILL AFFECT THE
BEGINNING OF THE LONG TERM. ALOFT...THE GFS AND UKMET ARE IN THE
FAST AND FLAT CAMP WHILE THE ECMWF AND GGEM ARE IN THE SLOW MORE
INTENSE CAMP. THE GGEM AND UKMET SOLNS DO NOT APPEAR LIKELY...SO
HAVE GENERALLY FOLLOWED HPC GUIDANCE DURING THIS PERIOD WHICH
CONSISTS OF A ECMWF AND ECMWF ENS MEAN BLEND. HAVE CAPPED POPS AT 50
PERCENT THU NIGHT UNTIL THERE IS BETTER AGREEMENT AMONGST THE
GUIDANCE. POPS DECREASE DURING THE DAY FRI AS THE LOW MOVES OUT TO
SEA AND HIGH PRES BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTH.

THE WEEKEND LOOKS TO BE MOSTLY DRY WITH SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES WITH
HIGH PRES DOMINATING. A COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE AREA SUN NIGHT
AND THE 12Z EC HAS ACTUALLY BACKED OFF ON QPF...HOWEVER...WILL KEEP
LOW CHC POPS.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
HIGH PRES NE OF THE METRO WILL GIVE WAY TO A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE
THIS EVENING.

NEARLY STATIONARY TROF JUST E OF THE METRO WILL RESULT IN
DIFFERING WIND DIRECTIONS ACROSS THE CITY TERMINALS. WITH TEMPS
RISING WILL START KJFK WITH A SEA BREEZE AT 18Z. LATER SEA BREEZE
DEVELOPMENT AT KLGA. SW FLOW GENERALLY BELOW 10KT EXPECTED ACROSS
NJ TERMINALS WITH THE BOUNDARY WELL E OF THE AREA.

CIGS ACROSS THE METRO VFR WITH MVFR KISP-KBDR AND POINTS E. TSTMS
DEVELOPING ACROSS UPSTATE NY WILL FAVOR KTEB-KHPN AND POINTS N FOR
TSTMS THIS AFTERNOON. SHRA WITH THE ACTUAL FRONT AROUND 00Z IN THE
CITY...WITH A LOWER PROBABILITY OF A TSTM.

VFR BEHIND THE FRONT OVERNIGHT AND CONTINUING ON TUE. EXCEPTION
MIGHT BE KGON WHERE RESIDUAL LOW LEVEL MOISTURE COULD RESULT IN
RESTRICTIONS. NW WINDS INCREASE TO 15-25KT AFTER 13Z...WITH WIND
DIRECTION IN THE 300-320 RANGE.

     NY METRO ENHANCED AVIATION WEATHER SUPPORT...

DETAILED INFORMATION...INCLUDING HOURLY TAF WIND COMPONENT FCSTS
CAN BE FOUND AT:  HTTP:/WWW.ERH.NOAA.GOV/ZNY/N90 (LOWER CASE)

KEWR FCSTER COMMENTS: AMENDMENTS POSSIBLE FOR TSTM DEVELOPMENT.
BETTER CHANCE FOR TSTMS TO HOLD TOGETHER AND IMPACT THE TERMINAL
THAN KLGA/KJFK.

KJFK FCSTER COMMENTS: AMENDMENTS POSSIBLE IF TSTMS DEVELOP ALONG
THE SRN EXTENT OF THE FRONT.

KLGA FCSTER COMMENTS: AMENDMENTS POSSIBLE IF TSTMS DEVELOP ALONG
THE SRN EXTENT OF THE FRONT...AND FOR THE TIMING OF THE SEA
BREEZE.

KTEB FCSTER COMMENTS: AMENDMENTS POSSIBLE FOR TSTM DEVELOPMENT.
BEST CHANCE FOR TSTM IMPACTS IN THE METRO.

KHPN FCSTER COMMENTS: AMENDMENTS POSSIBLE FOR TSTM DEVELOPMENT.
WILL FOLLOW RECENT TRENDS AND AMEND TO MVFR IF CIGS DO NOT LIFT
SUFFICIENTLY.

KISP FCSTER COMMENTS: TAF MAY BE AMENDED TO IMPROVE CONDITIONS TO
VFR BY 21Z.

.OUTLOOK FOR 18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
THROUGH TUE NIGHT...VFR. NW WIND GUSTS DIMINISH AFTER
SUNSET.
WED...VFR WITH NW WINDS CONTINUING. GUSTS UP TO 25KT.
THU...VFR...WITH LIGHTER N FLOW.
THU NIGHT THROUGH FRI...WARM FRONT TRACKS VERY CLOSE TO THE
REGION. EXACT TRACK WILL DETERMINE WIND DIRECTION. MVFR OR LOWER
POSSIBLE.
SAT...HIGH PRES AND VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
A WEAK SW FLOW WILL BE REPLACED BY A COUPLE OF DAYS OF W/NW FLOW
BEHIND A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE TONIGHT. BOTH WINDS AND SEAS
LOOK TO REMAIN BELOW SCA...HOWEVER...AN OCCASIONAL GUST TO 25 KT
IS POSSIBLE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WITH THE COLD AIR ADVECTION.

WINDS TURN AROUND TO THE EAST/SOUTHEAST BY THURSDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
MOVES EAST AND A WARM FRONT APPROACHES. GUSTS WILL BE LESS FREQUENT
BY THAT TIME.

SEAS SHOULD REMAIN FAIRLY TRANQUIL THROUGH THE THURSDAY...EXCEPT
DURING THE DAY TUESDAY WHEN NORTHWEST WINDS BECOME
GUSTY...RESULTING IN CHOPPY CONDITIONS.

THU NIGHT THROUGH SAT...
WINDS AND SEAS COULD BE NEAR SCA LEVELS ON THE OCEAN THU NIGHT AS
THE PRES GRADIENT TIGHTENS...BUT THIS WILL BE DEPENDENT ON THE EXACT
TRACK OF THE WAVE OF LOW PRES MOVING ACROSS THE AREA.
OTHERWISE...SWELLS FROM IGOR ARE EXPECTED TO START AFFECTING THE
WATERS ON FRI AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SCA FOR SEAS WILL
LIKELY BE NEEDED ON THE OCEAN WATERS WITH ROUGH CONDITIONS AT THE
ENTRANCES TO THE HARBOR...SOUTH SHORE BAYS AND EASTERN LI SOUND.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
GENERALLY 1/10 TO 1/4 INCH OF RAIN IS FORECAST TO FALL THROUGH
TONIGHT...WITH ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE IN HEAVIER
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. NO SIGNIFICANT HYDROLOGIC IMPACTS ARE
EXPECTED.
