Flash Flooding in New Jersey, August 19, 2011

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
452 PM EDT FRI AUG 19 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE REGION TONIGHT...THEN
MOVES TO OUR EAST SATURDAY...FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST SATURDAY NIGHT. A COLD FRONT
WILL APPROACH FROM THE GREAT LAKES SUNDAY...CROSSING THE AREA
SUNDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK INTO THE AREA MONDAY AND
REMAINS INTO MID WEEK. ANOTHER COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION
LATE NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
AT 19Z CAPES ACROSS THE REGION RANGED FROM 1000-3000 J/KG -
HIGHEST LOWER HUDSON VALLEY/NE NJ...WITH OVER 1000 J/KG OF
DOWNDRAFT CAPE ACROSS THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY/NE NJ AS WELL.
STORMS FIRING TO OUR W AND N HAVE ALREADY PRODUCED QUARTER TO
GOLFBALL SIZE HAIL. THE LARGE CAPES...COUPLED WITH REGION BEING
IN LEFT FRONT QUAD OF 50 KT UPPER JET...AND APPROACHING 500 HPA
SHORTWAVE TROUGH WARRANT CONTINUING SVR TSTM WATCH 791 ACROSS NE
NJ/LOWER HUDSON VALLEY/NYC/FAIRFIELD COUNTY AS IS UNTIL 9 PM. WITH
MINIMAL SHEAR - 10-15 KT BULK SHEAR VECTORS AND BRN > 100 - WILL
SEE MAINLY PULSE STORMS...BUT CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW MULTICELLULAR
CLUSTERS.

MAIN THREAT IS LARGE HAIL...BUT STILL COULD SEE SOME ISOLATED SVR
WIND GUSTS UNTIL LOSS OF SOLAR HEATING BY EARLY EVENING. OTHER
THREAT IS LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL DUE TO SLOW MOVEMENT OF STORMS
(10 KT OR LESS STORM MOTION VECTORS). SEE HYDRO SECTION FOR
DETAILS ON HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT.

CONVECTIVE THREAT WANES W/LOSS OF SOLAR HEATING AND PASSAGE OF
500 HPA SHORTWAVE TROUGH THIS EVENING...BRING POPS BELOW 15
OVERNIGHT FOR A DRY FORECAST THEN.

FOR LOWS TOOK A MAV/MET BLEND AND ADDED A DEGREE - WEIGHING
TOWARDS WARMER MET GUIDANCE...AS FAVOR SLOWER MET PROGRESSION OF
SFC TROUGH/LOWER DEWPOINT AIR BEHIND IT...GIVEN VERY WEAK LOW
LEVEL FLOW. GIVEN RELATIVELY MOIST LOW LEVELS...AND SOME SCT
DEBRIS CLOUDS...DO NOT THINK RADIATIONAL COOLING WILL BE
SIGNIFICANT...SO DOWNPLAYED GUIDANCE IDEA OF MAKING USUAL COOL
SPOTS THAT MUCH COOLER THAN SURROUNDING AREAS TONIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
WITH DECENT LOW TO MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES...AND 500-1500 J/KG OF
SFC BASED CAPE...HAVE THE THERMAL INGREDIENTS FOR SHRA/TSRA
SATURDAY. BUT ABSENT OTHER FORCING - SHOULD BE IN WAKE OF ANOTHER
500 HPA SHORTWAVE BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON...DO NOT EXPECT COVERAGE
TO BE THAT WIDESPREAD...SO ONLY WENT WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS. FOR
HIGHS TOOK A BLEND OF MAV/MET GUIDANCE...BLENDED WITH MIXING DOWN
FROM 825 HPA (PER BUFKIT SOUNDINGS) ACROSS THE INTERIOR. HIGHS
SHOULD BE AROUND 5 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL AS A RESULT...W/ AFTERNOON
SEA BREEZE SERVING AS LIMITING FACTOR AT COASTAL LOCATIONS.

ABSENT ANY TRIGGER SATURDAY NIGHT...W/WEAK RIDGING CROSSING THE
AREA IN THE EVENING...THEN A WEAK SFC TROUGH SETTING UP TO OUR W
SATURDAY NIGHT...ALONG WITH WEAK 500/700 HPA SHORTWAVE STAYING TO
OUR N/W...HAVE GONE DRY SATURDAY NIGHT. FOR LOWS BLENDED MAV/MET
NUMBERS AS THEY ARE FAIRLY CLOSE...WITH VALUES ABOUT 5 DEGREES
ABOVE NORMAL EXPECTED.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
UNCERTAINTY IS HIGH FOR SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT...THOUGH IS APPEARS IT
SHOULD START DRY ON SUNDAY. THE LATEST 09Z SREF SHOWS SOME AMOUNT
OF SPREAD WITH THE TIMING OF THE FRONT. THE MOST LIKELY TIMING IS
00Z TO 06Z WHICH FITS WITH THE DETERMINISTIC 12Z NAM/GFS.

MORE IMPORTANTLY...THE SREF HAS THE IDEA (DIVERSE MEMBERS INCLUDING
RSM AND NMM) OF A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE FORMING ALONG THE FRONT AND
TRACKING NE. THIS LOW...ITS POSITION/TIMING/MOVEMENT HAS VERY HIGH
SPREAD IN THE SREF.

IN ADDITION...THE PARENT LOW OVER QUEBEC HAS LARGE VARIATION IN
DEPTH AS SEEN IN THE 12Z NAM VS THE GFS. THE FLOW INTENSITY OVER
THE LOCAL AREA THUS ENDS UP WITH HIGH VARIABILITY WITH THE 12Z NAM
GIVING 50 KT AT 2K FT SUNDAY EVENING. EXAMINATION OF THE SREF DATA
SUPPORTS THAT THIS MAN BE REAL WITH NMM AND ETA MEMBERS SUPPORTING
THIS...BUT ALSO ARW MEMBERS. THIS WOULD POTENTIALLY MEAN WIND
ADVISORY CRITERIA. OF COURSE THE INCREASE LOW LEVEL JET WILL
INCREASE THE SVR THREAT. SEE SPC/S DAY 3 OUTLOOK FOR MORE DETAILS
ON SVR THREAT.

THE OTHER ISSUE IS FLOODING. WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR A WAVE AND
PWATS NEAR 2 INCH...HAVE TO BE CONCERNED FOR FLOODING. SEE HYDRO
SECTION BELOW.

FOLLOWING THE FROPA...DRY WITH HIGH PRESSURE MON-WED. SOME
INSTABILITY CU IN THE AFTERNOON WITH TEMPS AVERAGING SLIGHTLY BELOW
NORMAL WITH DEW POINT TEMPS DROPPING TO THE LOWER 60S MONDAY
AFTERNOON AND THEN MID TO UPPER 50S FOR TUE-WED. NICE.

ANOTHER FRONT APPROACHES LATE THURSDAY WITH SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW. THE
FRONT THEN MOVES ACROSS OR PERHAPS STALLS OVER THE REGION ON FRIDAY.
CHANCE POPS ARE INTRODUCED.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A SLOW MOVING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE REGION
TODAY. A WEAKENING FRONTAL BOUNDARY ENTERS THE REGION TONIGHT.

BEST CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY
EVENING...WHICH FOR THE CITY IS FORECAST TO BE STARTING AT AROUND
23Z.

POCKETS OF MVFR VSBYS OR LOWER POSSIBLE AFTER 06Z...MAINLY NORTH
OF THE CITY.

LIGHT S TO SW WINDS THROUGH THIS EVENING. WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF
40KT WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE STRONGEST TSTMS.

OUTLOOK FOR 18Z SAT THROUGH WED...

SAT...ISOLD-SCT TSTMS POSSIBLE. POCKETS OF MVFR OR LOWER
OVERNIGHT.

SUN...INCREASING SW FLOW AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. STRONG WINDS
OVERNIGHT. A SQUALL LINE IS POSSIBLE AHEAD OF THE FRONT.

MON...BECOMING VFR WITH NW FLOW.

TUE...VFR WITH LIGHTER WINDS.

WED...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
WITH A RELATIVELY LIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE
REGION...WINDS SHOULD REMAIN 10 KT OR LESS AND SEAS ON THE OCEAN 3
FT OR LESS...WITH WAVES ON THE SOUND/BAYS/HARBOR 1 FT OR LESS
THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.

WINDS AND SEAS INCREASE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT.
WINDS
GUSTING TO SCA LEVELS SEEM LIKELY BY EVENING WITH SEAS BUILDING ON
THE OCEAN TO 5 FT. THERE'S A CHANCE THAT WIND COULD BE HIGHER WITH A
LOW CHANCE FRO GALES SUNDAY EVENING.

HIGH PRESSURE AND GENERALLY TRANQUIL CONDITIONS RETURN FOR EARLY
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
STILL APPEARS WILL SEE BASIN AVERAGE QPF OF .1-.3 INCHES...MAYBE
LESS ACROSS FAR SE PORTIONS OF THE CWA THROUGH THIS EVENING.
HOWEVER WITH PRECIPITABLE WATERS OF 1.25-1.5 INCHES AND SLOW
MOVING STORMS...POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.
BECAUSE THESE STORMS ARE MAINLY PULSE IN NATURE...THEY SHOULD DIE
OUT BEFORE PRODUCING ENOUGH RAINFALL TO CAUSE ALL BUT VERY
ISOLATED LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING...WITH MINOR FLOODING OF
URBAN/POOR DRAINAGE/LOW LYING AREAS/FLOOD PRONE SMALL
STREAMS/CREEKS MOST LIKELY.

CONVECTIVE THREAT IS LOWER SATURDAY...BUT STILL WITH SLOW MOVING
STORMS EXPECTED...LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL CANNOT BE COMPLETELY
RULED OUT.

SATURDAY NIGHT SHOULD BE DRY.

HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATERS AND A POTENTIALLY STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL
INFLOW COULD RESULT IN A FLOOD EVENT FOR LATE SUNDAY. BASIN
AVERAGE RAINFALL ON AROUND ONE INCH...BUT WITH POTENTIALLY MUCH
HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE SEEMS LIKELY. HIGHER AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF
5 INCHES...WHILE A LOW LIKELIHOOD AT THIS TIME...ARE BEING OUTPUT
BY LATEST SREF. THERE'S A HIGH DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY AT THIS TIME.
WE WILL OUTLOOK THIS CHANCE FOR FLASH FLOODING IN OUR HAZARDOUS
WEATHER OUTLOOK.
