AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
452 PM EST FRI FEB 18 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION THIS EVENING...BRINGING
AN ABRUPT END TO SPRINGLIKE CONDITIONS. VERY STRONG WINDS ON
SATURDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT WILL DIMINISH ON SUNDAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE BRIEFLY BUILDS IN. A DOUBLE BARRELED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
WILL THEN IMPACT THE AREA FROM SUNDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING.
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN LATER TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL APPROACH LATER
IN THE WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
SPRINGLIKE AFTERNOON IN PROGRESS ACROSS THE AREA...WITH TEMPS
HAVING REACHED 70 AT KEWR AND RISEN WELL INTO THE 60S MOST
ELSEWHERE EXCEPT THE CT COAST AND EASTERN LONG ISLAND WHERE 50S
AND SOME UPPER 40S PREVAIL. RECORDS HIGHS HAVE BEEN SET AT
NEWARK...LAGUARDIA...KENNEDY AND ISLIP...WHILE CENTRAL PARK HAS
COME UP ONE DEGREE SHY OF THE RECORD HIGH OF 68 SET BACK IN 1981.
KBDR STILL IN THE 40S WITH A SW SEA BREEZE...BUT WEST WINDS ARE ON
THE DOORSTEP AND COULD EASILY BUMP TEMPS TO NEAR RECORD HIGHS IN
A JIFFY.
COLD FRONT LOOKS TO COME THROUGH PIECEMEAL TONIGHT...WITH A PRE-
FRONTAL TROUGH PASSING THROUGH THIS EVENING...SHIFTING WINDS TO
THE WEST AND PERHAPS A BRIEF GUST UP TO 35 MPH...THEN THE MAIN
FRONT...STILL WELL TO THE NW OVER THE LP OF MICHIGAN...ARRIVING
LATE TONIGHT AS ITS PARENT LOW MOVES EAST TO THE CANADIAN
MARITIMES. BOTH FRONTAL PASSAGES WILL BE DRY. TIGHT PRESSURE
GRADIENT AND QUICKLY STEEPENING LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES SHOULD BRING
STRONGER WINDS LATE TONIGHT...SO HAVE NOT CHANGED THE TIMING OF
THE WIND ADVISORY ALREADY IN EFFECT.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
WIND ADVISORY CONTINUES THROUGH MIDNIGHT SATURDAY. EXPECTING WINDS
TO GUST IN EXCESS OF 45 MPH BEFORE SUNRISE AND CONTINUE THROUGH
THE DAY. SUSTAINED WINDS UP TO 35 MPH ALSO LIKELY IN NYC AND IN
THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. GFS PROFILES CONTINUE TO RUN STRONGER THAN
THE NAM...BUT BOTH SUGGEST THAT GUSTS 55-60 MPH ARE VERY POSSIBLE
SAT MORNING AND AGAIN TOWARD EVENING ON SAT...BUT MIXING EFFICIENCY
IS STILL UNCERTAIN AS THE STRONGEST WINDS ALOFT THAT COULD
POTENTIALLY MIX DOWN WILL RESIDE BETWEEN THE LCL AND A SUBSIDENCE
INVERSION ALOFT...WHERE LAPSE RATES MAY NOT BE QUITE AS STEEP.
WHILE MOST TREES HAVE ALREADY GIVEN UP ANY DEAD/WEAK
BRANCHES...STILL EXPECT MORE ISSUES WITH THIS EVENT THAN WE HAD ON
MONDAY. ALSO A BIGGER HAZARD TO CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND HIGH
PROFILE VEHICLES THIS TIME.
THE STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL HELP GENERATE STRATOCU AS
ASSOCIATED MOISTURE POOLS BENEATH AN H8 SUBSIDENCE INVERSION...
WITH SOME SNOW SHOWERS/FLURRIES ALSO POSSIBLE. TEMPS TREND TOWARD
COLDER MOS GUIDANCE AND SHOULD BASICALLY HOLD STEADY.
WINDS WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH SATURDAY NIGHT...AND SHOULD STILL BE
GUSTY ON SUNDAY ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE MODELS IN THE FIRST PART OF THE
LONG TERM...WITH A DEVELOPING CUTOFF LOW TRACKING ACROSS SE CANADA
INTO MONDAY NIGHT...COUPLED WITH ENERGY EJECTING FROM A TROUGH OVER
THE DESERT SW...YIELDING A SURFACE LOW THAT WILL TRACK INTO WESTERN
PA BY 12Z MONDAY...THEN NEAR LONG ISLAND MONDAY MORNING...REACHING
EAST OF CAPE COD BY MONDAY EVENING. USED A BLEND OF
NAM/GFS/SREF/ECMWF FOR THIS SYSTEM.
EXPECT LIGHT SNOW TO DEVELOP FROM W TO E FROM LATE SUNDAY EVENING
ON. WARMER AIR BEGINS TO WORK IN ALOFT MONDAY MORNING...WITH THE
PRECIPITATION CHANGING TO A WINTRY MIX FROM SW TO NE. THE
PRECIPITATION SHOULD CHANGE TO ALL RAIN BY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE NYC
METRO/LI/AND MOST OF COASTAL CT. A PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN IS
POSSIBLE ACROSS INTERIOR PORTIONS OF THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY. WITH
THE FORECAST LOW TRACK FORECAST NEAR/OVER THE CWA...EVEN FAR NW
AREAS COULD POSSIBLY CHANGE TO ALL RAIN BY LATE MONDAY
AFTERNOON...AS THE PRECIPITATION TAPERS OFF WITH THE LOW EXITING TO
THE EAST.
FOR NOW...WOULD EXPECT SUB-ADVISORY ACCUMULATIONS OF SNOW ACROSS
MOST OF THE AREA...WITH AREAS NEAR THE ATLANTIC COAST HAVING THE
LEAST ACCUMULATION...BEFORE CHANGE OVER TO A MIX. A GLAZE TO A FEW
HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH OF ICE IS POSSIBLE OVER INTERIOR
ZONES...ESPECIALLY INTERIOR PORTIONS OF THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY
BEFORE CHANGE OVER TO ALL RAIN/PRECIPITATION ENDS.
FOR TEMPERATURES...BLENDED NAM 2-METER TEMPERATURES WITH MAV/MET
BLEND SUNDAY NIGHT AND A MEX/MEX ENSEMBLE MEAN BLEND MONDAY.
A LITTLE MORE UNCERTAINTY WITH THE POTENTIAL SECOND BATCH OF
PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH A COASTAL LOW THAT WILL TRACK TO OUR
SOUTH IN THE WAKE OF THE FIRST SYSTEM. MODELS HAVE A WIDESPREAD OF
POSSIBLE IMPACTS RANGING FROM LIGHT SNOW ACROSS MOST OF THE
AREA...TO ONLY FAR SOUTHERN SECTIONS BEING GRAZED WITH SNOW. ALL
MODELS AGREE THE SNOW SHOULD COME TO AN END BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
THE LOW TRACK IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE TRACK OF THE CUTOFF LOW
FORECAST TO TRACK INTO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND/S CANADIAN MARITIMES
MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY...AND THE EVOLUTION OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING
IN FROM THE WEST. MODELS ARE NOT ALL THAT GOOD WITH FORECASTING
PLACEMENT/STRENGTHS OF CUTOFF LOWS THIS FAR OUT...SO A LOW
CONFIDENCE FORECAST.
THE ONE THING THAT IS CONSISTENT IS THAT THIS SECOND EVENT WILL BE
PRIMARILY AN ALL SNOW EVENT - COULD SEE AN INITIAL MIX AT THE
START. FOR NOW...WENT WITH CHANCE POPS HIGHEST S AND LOWEST
N...REFLECTING A BLEND OF AVAILABLE SOLUTIONS. GEFS MEAN AND CMC
HAVE PRECIPITATION FURTHER N THAN GFS/ECMWF...COUPLED WITH
WAFFLING IN GFS/ECMWF SOLUTIONS...FELT PRUDENT TO GO WITH MORE
EXTENSIVE PRECIPITATION SOLUTION AT THIS TIME. STRONG...GUSTY NW
WINDS ARE EXPECTED IN THE WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM ON TUESDAY.
FOR TEMPERATURES...USED A MEX/MEX ENSEMBLE MEAN BLEND MON
NIGHT/TUESDAY.
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN TUESDAY NIGHT-WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH
RIDGING BUILDING IN ALOFT. SHOULD BE COLD AND DRY IN THAT TIME FRAME.
RIDGE AXIS AND SFC HIGH SLIDE TO OUR EAST THURSDAY...WITH SW RETURN
FLOW SETTING UP...SHOULD ALLOW FOR TEMPERATURES TO RECOVER TO NEAR
NORMAL. FOR NOW KEPT THINGS DRY THU...THOUGH 12Z ECMWF IS FASTER
THAN PREVIOUS GUIDANCE IN SUGGESTING PRECIPITATION COULD REACH FAR
WESTERN ZONES LATE IN THE DAY. USED A MEX/MEX ENSEMBLE MEAN BLEND
FOR TEMPERATURES TUESDAY NIGHT-THURSDAY.
OPERATIONAL GFS IS MUCH SLOWER WITH HAVING THE MEAN TROUGH MOVE OUT
OF THE WEST INTO THE PLAINS LATE NEXT WEEK THAN THE GEFS MEAN OR THE
ECMWF...THUS HAVE OPTED FOR A GEFS MEAN/ECMWF BLEND FOR THURSDAY
NIGHT AND FRIDAY.
WOULD EXPECT PRECIPITATION TO DEVELOP FROM W TO E THURSDAY NIGHT AND
CONTINUE ON FRIDAY...ONLY LOW CHANCE POPS FOR NOW DUE TO UNCERTAINTY.
IT APPEARS THAT FOR NOW WILL BE COLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT MAINLY SNOW
AT THE START...WITH A CHANGE OVER TO RAIN DURING THE DAY ON
FRIDAY...AS SURFACE WARM FRONT LIFTS TO THE NORTH...BASED ON A LOW
TRACK UP THE WEST SIDE OF THE APPALACHIANS.
FOR TEMPERATURES THURSDAY NIGHT-FRIDAY TOOK A MEX/MEX ENSEMBLE MEAN
BLEND AND TWEAKED TOWARDS ECMWF LOW LEVEL THERMAL FIELDS.

.MARINE...
SCAHS CONTINUES FOR THE OCEAN WATERS...AS SEAS HAVE ALREADY BUILT
TO 3-6 FT IN PERSISTENT SW FLOW KT AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD
FRONT. WINDS WILL SHIFT WEST AND INCREASE THIS EVENING...BUT
STRONGER WINDS LOOK TO HOLD OFF UNTIL MIDNIGHT ON THE OCEAN...AND
LATE TONIGHT ON THE OTHER WATERS...AS A STRONG COLD FRONT PUSHES
THROUGH. INVERSION OVER THE WATERS SHOULD PREVENT STRONGER GUSTS
FROM MATERIALIZING UNTIL LATE TONIGHT...SO RAMP-UP FROM SUB-SCA TO
GALES SHOULD BE RATHER ABRUPT ON THE SOUND/BAYS AS THE COLD AIR
REALLY FILTERS IN. GALE FORCE GUSTS COULD APPROACH STORM FORCE SAT
MORNING AND AGAIN TOWARD EVENING ON SAT BEFORE A VERY
GRADUAL DECREASE. GALES LIKELY TO CONTINUE ON ALL WATERS SAT
NIGHT...AND COULD LAST INTO SUNDAY MORNING ON THE OCEAN.
LOW WATER ADVY ISSUED FOR WRN LONG ISLAND SOUND FOR LATE
TONIGHT...AS THE STRONG NW FLOW AND THE FULL MOON COMBINE TO DROP
WATER LEVELS UP TO 2 FT BELOW MLLW. THIS ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE
EXTENDED TO ALL WATERS FOR THE SAT AFTERNOON/EVENING LOW TIDE
CYCLE...WITH WATER LEVELS 2-3.5 FT BELOW MLLW EXPECTED.
WINDS WILL DIMINISH ON SUNDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN...AND
THERE SHOULD BE A RELATIVE LULL WITH SUB-SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS
SUNDAY NIGHT. A ONE TWO PUNCH OF STORM SYSTEMS MONDAY-TUESDAY
SHOULD HAVE MOST AREAS WITH AT LEAST SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS...WITH
GALE FORCE GUSTS POSSIBLE ON TUESDAY. CONDITIONS SHOULD SUBSIDE
BELOW SMALL CRAFT LEVELS DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
A COMPLEX STORM SYSTEM WHICH WILL IMPACT THE AREA FROM SUNDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING COULD BRING WIDESPREAD QPF OF 0.5
INCHES OR MORE. IT LIKELY WILL NOT PRECIPITATE DURING THAT ENTIRE
TIME FRAME. WITH PRECIPITATION TYPE ISSUES...AND UNCERTAINTY ON
LOW TRACK TIMING/INTENSITY...IT IS TO SOON TO BEGIN TO PREDICT
ANY HYDROLOGIC IMPACTS.
