AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
1056 AM EDT THU SEP 29 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE TRI-STATE INTO THIS EVENING.
ADDITIONAL COLD FRONTS WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA FRIDAY AND
FRIDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY BUILDS IN ON SATURDAY WITH LOW
PRESSURE DEVELOPING OFFSHORE AT THE SAME TIME. THIS LOW WILL
SLOWLY DRIFT IN THE VICINITY OF NEW ENGLAND THROUGH THE WEEKEND
WHILE HIGH PRESSURE TRIES TO BUILD IN.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
1430Z UPDATE...A WARM FRONT HAS LIFTED JUST TO OUR NORTH AS OF
14Z...STRETCHING ACROSS NORTHERN CT BACK WEST TO A TRIPLE POINT
LOW TO THE SW OF ALBANY. A COLD FRONT EXTENDS SSW FROM THIS LOW TO
THE NORTHERN CHESAPEAKE BAY. THIS COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION
THIS AFTERNOON...INTO EARLY THIS EVENING. OUTSIDE OF ANY SHRA/TSRA
MOVING THROUGH LATE THIS MORNING...VISIBLE SATELLITE SHOWS AREAS
OF BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS IN THE WARM SECTOR.
THIS SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO ALLOW SURFACE BASED CAPES TO REACH
500-1000 J/KG ACROSS THE REGION AND MOST UNSTABLE LAYER CAPES OF
1000-2000 J/KG. THIS COUPLED WITH 40-50 KT 0-6KM BULK SHEAR...THE
INFLUENCE OF BEING RIGHT REAR QUADRANT OF A 110 KT 250 HPA JET
THIS AFTERNOON...COUPLED WITH A 30 KT LOW LEVEL JET PUSHING
THROUGH...ALONG WITH DECENT LOW LEVEL HELICITY YIELDS A SLIGHT
RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT.
THE MAIN THREAT IS STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND LARGE HAIL...HOWEVER
THERE IS ENOUGH LOW LEVEL SHEAR...THAT AN ISOLATED TORNADO CANNOT
BE RULED OUT AS WELL. IN ADDITION TO THE SEVERE
THREAT...PRECIPITABLE WATERS OF 1.25-1.75 INCHES (PER 12Z
SOUNDINGS)...BRINGS THE THREAT OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AS WELL.
SEE THE HYDRO SECTION OF THE AFD FOR FURTHER DETAILS.
TEMPERATURE/DEWPOINT FORECAST GENERALLY ON TRACK THIS GO
AROUND...DID TWEAK WITH LATEST OBS/GUIDANCE TRENDS...BUT NO MORE
THAN A DEGREE OR SO CHANGE AT ANY GIVEN LOCATION.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
COLD FRONT SHOULD BE EXITING EARLY THIS EVENING WITH THE LAST
THREAT OF A SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM. AGAIN...SOME STORMS COULD BE
ON THE STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE SIDE. CLEARING FOR THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS.
ON FRIDAY...THE REGION WILL BE UNDER SLIGHT RIDGING ALOFT AS THE
INITIAL SHORTWAVE HEADS NORTHEAST AND ANOTHER SHORTWAVE MOVES
THROUGH THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES REGION. A WEAK COLD FRONT MOVES
THROUGH IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS...BUT MOISTURE SEEMS LIMITED.
THEREFORE EXPECTING JUST SOME CLOUD COVER FROM THIS AND REMAINING
DRY. A BLEND OF MAV/NAM MOS WAS USED AGAIN FOR TEMPERATURES.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVING EAST FRIDAY NIGHT FORECAST TO CLOSE
OFF SAT AND SAT NIGHT. THEN IT MEANDERS NEAR TO THE NORTH OF THE
REGION FOR SUNDAY. UPPER LEVEL LOW SHIFTS EAST OF AREA ON MONDAY.
MAIN JET ALOFT WILL STAY JUST EAST OF THE REGION AND INCREASE IN
SPEED WITH ITS INCREASING MERIDIONAL FLOW. AT THE SURFACE...LOW
PRESSURE WILL LINGER NEAR THE AREA WITH MOST MODEL GUIDANCE
INDICATING IT TO BE OFFSHORE THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY.
THEREAFTER...MODELS INDICATE THAT THIS LOW COULD RETROGRADE AND
DEEPEN BACK TO THE WEST IN RESPONSE TO THE JET AND DEEP UPPER LEVEL
LOW AROUND THE REGION. MODELS SHOW THE LOW WEAKENING AND LIFTING
NORTHWARD ON MONDAY...WITH THE UPPER LEVEL LOW AND JET SHIFTING
FARTHER EAST. A MORE NORTHWEST FLOW WILL ESTABLISH THROUGH THE
ATMOSPHERE WITH RELATIVELY GREATER INFLUENCE OF HIGH
PRESSURE...ALTHOUGH THE MAIN RIDGE STAYS TO OUR WEST WHILE ANOTHER
SHORTWAVE BEGINS TO APPROACH FROM SOUTHEAST CANADA.
IN TERMS OF WEATHER...THIS FAVORS A COLDER THAN NORMAL PATTERN WITH
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS DUE TO THE POOL OF INSTABILITY ALOFT
FOR THIS WEEKEND. AT THIS POINT...DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT EXACT TIMING
OF SHOWER ACTIVITY WITH THE MODEL DISAGREEMENT WITH INDIVIDUAL VORTICITY
MAXIMA ROTATING AROUND THE UPPER LEVEL LOW AS WELL AS QPF FIELDS
ASSOCIATED WITH BROAD LOW PRESSURE. NOTED A BETTER AGREEMENT OF
BETWEEN MODELS WITH QPF ON SATURDAY SHOWING RELATIVELY MORE THAN FOR
SUNDAY. SO WILL KEEP POPS HIGHER FOR SAT AND THEREFORE SCATTERED
COVERAGE AND RESTRICT TO ISOLATED COVERAGE FOR SUNDAY. THIS COULD
CHANGE WITH SUBSEQUENT FORECASTS DEPENDING ON MODEL EVOLUTION WITH
THE DEPICTION OF THE UPPER LEVEL LOW AND OTHER FORCING FACTORS.
HIGHS MOSTLY IN THE 60S FOR SAT AND UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S ON
SUN...WELL BELOW NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. TEMPERATURES WILL
MODERATE ON MONDAY WITH A GREATER WESTERLY FLOW AND THEREBY HIGHS
RANGING MORE IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S WITH DRY WEATHER FORECAST.
&&
.AVIATION /15Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AN EXTREMELY CHANGEABLE WEATHER SITUATION THIS AFTERNOON AS A WARM
FRONT LIFTS NORTH FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONT LATE THIS AFTERNOON.
SOUTH WINDS WILL VEER TO THE SOUTHWEST AFTER 17-18Z AND BECOME
GUSTY. LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST WITH CONDITIONS BECOMING MVFR OR VFR
THIS AFTERNOON. DO EXPECT SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSTMS THIS AFTERNOON
AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES. ANY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS PASS
THROUGH IN THE LATE AFTERNOON. TIME HERE IS PROBABLY PLUS OR MINUS
AN HOUR OF FCST. TSTMS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH FAIRLY QUICKLY.
SKY QUICKLY CLEARS IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT WITH WSW WINDS
BACKING TO SSW IN THE EVENING.

INCREASING CHANCE FOR STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE STORMS ACROSS THE
WATERS THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING.
SEAS SHOULD BE RIGHT AROUND 5 FT ON THE EASTERN OCEAN WATERS...ALONG
WITH GUSTS UP TO 25 KT THIS AFTERNOON OUT AHEAD AND RIGHT BEHIND A
COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH. HAVE THEREFORE EXTENDED THE SCA THROUGH
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW CRITERIA LATE

SUB SCA CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST THROUGH SATURDAY WITH LOW PRESSURE
OFFSHORE. LOW PRESSURE RETROGRADING AND INTENSIFYING ON SUNDAY WITH
AN INCREASE IN PRESSURE GRADIENT...LEADING TO HIGHER WINDS AND GUSTS
UP TO NEAR 25 KT ACROSS OCEAN AREAS. SCA IS PROBABLE STARTING LATE
SAT NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY AS SEAS BUILD IN RESPONSE TO 5 FT AND A
LITTLE HIGHER.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
ANOTHER HALF INCH TO INCH OF RAINFALL IS EXPECTED ON AVERAGE ACROSS
THE CWA THROUGH THIS EVENING...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS IN
AREAS EXPERIENCING THUNDERSTORMS - WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED BY AN
ISOLATED REPORT OF AROUND 2 INCHES. WESTERN ORANGE COUNTY WOULD
HAVE THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING BASED ON LATEST
GUIDANCE...BUT AT LEAST MINOR URBAN/SMALL STREAM FLOODING WILL BE
A THREAT ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
STILL EXPECTING WIDESPREAD MINOR COASTAL FLOODING FOR THE MORNING
AND EARLY AFTERNOON HIGH TIDE CYCLES WITH CONTINUED ONSHORE FLOW BUT
A GRADUAL DOWNWARD TREND WITH SURGE. SURGE MOSTLY 0.5 TO 1 FT WITH
SLIGHTLY HIGHER SURGE AT FREEPORT FORECAST.
FOR TONIGHT...MOST TIDAL STATIONS FALLING BETWEEN AT 0.5 TO 1 FT
SHORT OF MINOR FLOODING THRESHOLDS AS WINDS TURN MORE WESTERLY AND
SURGE THEREBY DECREASING.
