AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
240 PM EDT FRI JUL 8 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA TODAY AS WEAK
DISTURBANCES RIDE ALONG IT. THE FRONT WILL DRIFT SOUTH OF THE AREA
FRIDAY NIGHT...AND REMAIN JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA THROUGH SATURDAY.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD IN FROM THE GREAT LAKES FOR THE
WEEKEND...AND THEN SLIDE EAST ON MONDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
ACROSS ON TUESDAY...FOLLOWED BY CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE FOR THE
REST OF THE WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
200 PM UPDATE...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IN EFFECT FOR ENTIRE
REGION THROUGH 9 PM. MARGINAL TO MODERATE INSTABILITY...COMBINED
WITH 35-40KT DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND APPROACHING SHORTWAVE ENERGY
HAS SET THE ENVIRONMENT. HEAVY RAINFALL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE
MAIN THREAT WITH ANY SEVERE STORMS...WITH LARGE HAIL POSSIBLE IN
ROTATING STORMS.
100 PM UPDATE...STATIONARY FRONT OVER THE FORECAST AREA IS SLOWLY
SAGGING TO THE SOUTH. AIRMASS REMAINS FAVORABLE FOR SHOWER/TSTM
DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON...WITH PW NEAR 2 INCHES...MAX SB CAPE
LIKELY APPROACHING 2000 J/KG...ARRIVAL OF A MID LEVEL VORT MAX
AND UPPER DIVERGENCE IN THE RIGHT REAR QUAD OF A JET STREAK
PASSING TO THE NORTH. AN AXIS OF 35-40 KT BULK SHEAR HAS SET UP
OVER THE REGION EARLY THIS AFTERNOON BASED ON SPC MESOANALYSIS.
SPC HAS UPGRADED THE REGION TO A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS. PRIMARY THREAT WOULD BE DAMAGING WINDS...ALTHOUGH
LARGE HAIL IS ALSO POSSIBLE.
WITH LACK OF A DECENT SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL JET OVERRIDING THE
FRONT DO NOT THINK HEAVY RAIN THREAT WILL BE WIDESPREAD ENOUGH TO
WARRANT A FLASH FLOOD WATCH...HOWEVER ANY STRONGER STORMS TODAY
COULD DUMP A QUICK 1-2 INCHES OF RAIN.
TEMPERATURE FORECAST REMAINS ON TRACK WITH HIGHS RANGING FROM THE
UPPER 70S OVER NORTHERN INTERIOR SECTIONS TO THE MID 80S OVER THE
NYC METRO. A FEW SPOTS OVER NE NJ MAY REACH THE UPPER 80S.
THERE IS A MODERATE RIP CURRENT RISK AT THE OCEAN BEACHES TODAY.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
THE FRONT WILL DROP S THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT AS A WEAK LOW
RIDES ALONG IT AND QUICKLY MOVES INTO THE OFFSHORE WATERS S OF
LONG ISLAND BY SATURDAY MORNING. CHANCE/LIKELY POP THIS EVENING
WILL GRADUALLY TAPER OFF OVERNIGHT. LOWS IN THE 60S TO LOWER 70S
EXPECTED.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION ON SUNDAY WITH SW
WARM ADVECTION AND HUMIDITY RETURNING ON MONDAY. DEWPOINTS OF
AROUND 60 ON SUNDAY RISE TO UPPER 60S ON MONDAY AS MARITIME
TROPICAL AIR RETURNS ONCE AGAIN. KEPT IT DRY ON MONDAY...AS
INSTABILITY IS LIMITED AND SUBSIDENCE ALOFT SHOULD SUPPRESS ANY
DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION.
MAIN WEATHER EVENT FOR THE LONG TERM PERIOD IS A COLD FRONT THAT
ORIGINATES WITH SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY OVER BRITISH COLUMBIA.
EXAMINATION OF THE 12Z AND 18Z GEFS WITH AGREEMENT FROM THE 12Z
ECMWF AND LATEST GEM ALL SUPPORT COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE TUESDAY.
HAVE FOCUSED PCPN CHANCES FOR THE DIURNALLY FAVORED AFTERNOON
PERIOD. EARLY ESTIMATES OF CAPE FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON ARE
MODERATE AT AROUND 2000 J/KG WITH WEAK TO MODERATE SHEAR OF 30-35
KT IN THE 0-6 KM LAYER. SO HAVE SOME POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE
DEPENDING ON THE TIMING OF THE FRONT.
NOTE...THIS DIFFERS FROM PREVIOUS FORECASTS...THOUGH WITH SUPPORT
FROM THE GLOBAL ENSEMBLES AND DETERMINISTIC RUNS...CONFIDENCE IS
HIGH ENOUGH TO DEVIATE FROM CONTINUITY AT THIS TIME.
HIGH PRESSURE AND LOW HUMIDITY RETURN FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH THE
END OF THE WEEK. TEMPS ARE FCST BASED ON LATEST MOS AND WARM TO
SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL ON MONDAY. MONDAY AND TUESDAY SHOULD SEE
LOWER 90S FOR NE JERSEY...AND APPROACHING 90 IN NYC. THE HIGH DEW
POINT TEMPERATURES RESULTS IN HEAT INDEX VALUES IN THE LOWER AND
MID 90S FOR THESE AREAS. COMFORTABLE MID SUMMER WEATHER RETURNS ON
WEDNESDAY WITH LOWER 80S FOR MAXES AND DEW POINT TEMPS IN THE MID
50S.

TERMINALS...EXCEPT IN SHRA/TSRA. PATCHY IFR/MVFR CIGS ACROSS
COASTAL TERMINALS WITH BANDS OF MARINE STRATUS/FOG PARTIALLY
EVIDENT. STRATUS/FOG MAY BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD ACROSS EASTERN
TERMINALS THAN DEPICTED THIS EVENING IF CONVECTION DOES NOT
MATERIALIZE.
CONVECTIVE COVERAGE INCREASING JUST WEST OF THE TERMINALS...AND
EXPECT IT TO BE FAIRLY WIDESPREAD BY 20-22Z ACROSS WESTERN
TERMINALS...MOVING INTO EASTERN TERMINALS THIS EVENING. EXPECT
WIDESPREAD CONVECTION TO COME TO AN END TONIGHT FROM NW TO SE.

WITH ANY STRONGER STORM LOCALIZED MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE
IN HEAVY RAINS. DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL POSSIBLE AS WELL.

TO NEAR 5 FT ON TUE.
