As a cold front moved southeast into a warm humid and unstable air mass, a line of severe thunderstorms developed and moved southeast across Orange County, New York. This line produced high winds that downed several trees, especially across western Orange County.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
1002 PM EDT THU MAY 26 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
THE LOCAL AREA WILL BE BETWEEN A LARGE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM
COVERING THE WESTERN ATLANTIC OCEAN AND A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT
EXTENDING NORTHEAST ACROSS THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS THROUGH
MONDAY. THIS FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE EAST ACROSS THE REGION
MONDAY NIGHT FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST U.S.
THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
RAMPED UP POPS TO LIKELY THIS EVENING OVER NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY
WITH CHANCE POPS NOW EXTENDING TO THE NYC METRO AREA PER RADAR
TRENDS. AREA OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTHEASTERN
PA AND NORTHWEST NJ WILL MOVE NORTHEAST INTO SUBURBAN NJ AND THE
SOUTHERN HUDSON VALLEY OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. OUTFLOW FROM
THIS MAIN AREA OF CONVECTION MAY FIRE UP ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY AHEAD
AND SOUTH OF THE MAIN LINE. CONVECTION SHOULD BEGIN TO WEAKEN AS
IT PROGRESSES EASTWARD AWAY FROM THE BEST INSTABILITY AND FORCING.
OTHERWISE...AREAS OF FOG THIS EVENING OVER EASTERN AND COASTAL
AREAS WILL LIKELY EXPAND INLAND LATER TONIGHT AS THE ATMOSPHERE
BECOMES INCREASING MOIST.
A DENSE FOG ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR EASTERN SUFFOLK COUNTY NY
AND SOUTHEAST COASTAL CT UNTIL 2 AM EDT.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
FORECAST MODELS SHOW THE UPPER LOW OVER THE LOWER MIDWEST GRADUALLY
WEAKENING AS IT SPINS AND LIFTS TO AN OPEN WAVE THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT.
THE BEST DYNAMICS WILL REMAIN WEST OF THE LOCAL AREA WITH THE HIGHEST
PROBABILITY OF SCT SHOWERS AND TSTMS OCCURRING WEST AND NORTH OF NYC
FRIDAY AFTERNOON UNTIL MIDNIGHT. ISOLATED SEVERE TSTMS ARE POSSIBLE
IN THIS AREA WITH THE GREATEST THREAT OF DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL.
OTHERWISE...TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO RISE INTO THE UPPER 80S
OVER...WEST AND NORTH OF NYC...WHERE HEAT INDICES WILL REACH
AROUND 90 DEGREES.
CONDITIONS WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF STRATUS CLOUDS
AND AREAS OF FOG WHICH MAY BECOME LOCALLY DENSE AGAIN AFTER MIDNIGHT
FRIDAY.
IN ADDITION...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK FOR RIP CURRENT DEVELOPMENT
FRIDAY AND FRIDAY EVENING.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF THE REGION REMAINS NEARLY
STATIONARY ON SATURDAY AND WEAKENS ON SUNDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
IN FROM THE EAST SUNDAY AND MONDAY. WITH A SOUTHERLY
FLOW...ANTICIPATING LOW STRATUS AND POTENTIALLY SOME FOG BOTH
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY MORNINGS OVER EASTERN SECTIONS BEFORE BURNING
OFF BY MIDDAY. BOTH DAYS OF THE WEEKEND ARE FORECAST TO HAVE ROUGHLY
1000 J/KG OF SBCAPE AWAY FROM THE COAST. BEST TRIGGER WOULD APPEAR
TO BE THE STATIONARY FRONT OFF TO THE NORTH AND WEST. THEREFORE HAVE
SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS FOR THE WESTERNMOST ZONES...WITH
SOMEWHAT LOWER POPS ON SUNDAY VS. SATURDAY. MUCH OF THE AREA SHOULD
BE DRY HOWEVER.
FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY...GENERALLY RIDGING AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT.
THIS SHOULD HELP KEEP US DRY BOTH DAYS IN SPITE OF HIGH SBCAPES. NOT
MUCH OF ANY TRIGGER AVAILABLE FOR CONVECTION OUTSIDE OF THERMAL
TROUGHS INLAND AND SEA BREEZE FRONTS...BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH
ENOUGH TO PLACE IN EVEN SLIGHT CHC POPS THIS FAR OUT.
A COLD FRONT IS PROGGED TO PASS THROUGH SOMETIME DURING THE
WEDNESDAY TO WEDNESDAY EVENING TIME FRAME. TIMING IS UNCERTAIN...BUT
WITH POTENTIALLY 1500 J/KG OF SBCAPE...THERE'S CERTAINLY A CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS WITH A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH AND THE COLD FRONT ITSELF.
DRY WEATHER THEN EXPECTED ON THURSDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN
FROM THE NORTH.
AS FOR TEMPERATURES...850MB TEMPERATURES ON SATURDAY ARE FORECAST TO
BE LOWER THAN THOSE ON FRIDAY...SO EXPECTING AN OVERALL COOLER
DAY...BUT HIGHS STILL REACHING THE 80S ACROSS SECTIONS NOT
INFLUENCED BY SEA BREEZES UNTIL MID-AFTERNOON. ON SUNDAY...SIMILAR
CLOUD COVER EXPECTED WITH A SIMILAR WIND FLOW...BUT FORECAST IS FOR
SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES ALOFT...SO HIGHS ON SUNDAY EXPECTED TO
BE AROUND OR SLIGHTLY BELOW THOSE OF SATURDAY. 850MB TEMPERATURES
ARE THEN FORECAST TO RISE TO AROUND 18C MONDAY AND POSSIBLY ON
TUESDAY AS WELL. INLAND SPOTS CAN TOP THE 90 DEGREE MARK. COOLER ON
WEDNESDAY WITH COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH...THEN A RETURN TO CLOSER
TO NORMAL TEMPS ON THURSDAY BEHIND THE FRONT.
&&
.AVIATION /02Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE OH VALLEY WILL STALL OVER UPSTATE NY AND
CNTRL PA FRI.
MOIST ONSHORE FLOW CONTINUES TO KEEP IFR OR LOWER STRATUS ACROSS
EASTERN TERMINALS. STRATUS/FOG HAS PUSHED EAST OF NYC
TERMINALS...AND QUESTION IS WHETHER IT REDEVELOPS. THERE IS
POTENTIAL FOR IFR STRATUS TO RE-DEVELOP ACROSS KJFK/KLGA LATE THIS
EVENING WITH ONSHORE FLOW...BUT THEN ERODE LATER TONIGHT AS SW FLOW
PICKS UP ALOFT. TO THE N&W OF NYC TERMINALS SHOULD BE LOOKING
MORE AT MVFR/IFR FOG. PATTERN AND CURRENT CONDITIONS SUGGEST
WIDESPREAD IFR STRATUS TO MAINTAIN ITSELF ACROSS EASTERN TERMINALS
THROUGH 06Z...THEN AS WSW WINDS PICK UP JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE
THIS MAY HELP PUSH THIS GRADUALLY EAST.
OTHER ISSUE IS SQUALL LINE OVER EASTERN PA THAT IS EXPECTED TO
GRADUALLY SLIDE EAST THIS EVENING. WITH STRENGTHENING LLJ AND HIGH
INSTABILITY SOURCE...BELIEVE THIS LINE COULD MAINTAIN ITSELF INTO
KSWF BETWEEN 02Z AND 03Z...BEFORE WEAKENING AS IT ENCOUNTERS MORE
STABLE MARITIME AIRMASS TOWARDS THE NYC/NJ METRO. STRONG WINDS
WOULD BE THE MAIN THREAT.
WARM FRONT EXPECTED TO WASH OUT ON FRIDAY...WITH GRADUALLY
IMPROVING CIGS/VSBY DURING THE MORNING HOURS. STATUS/FOG MAY
LINGER UNTIL AROUND MIDDAY AT KGON. OTHERWISE...5-6SM IN HZ
POSSIBLE DURING THE AFTERNOON. POTENTIAL FOR TSTM ACTIVITY ONCE
AGAIN LATE INT EH DAY AROUND KSWF. GUSTY SW FLOW ACROSS INTERIOR
TERMINALS...SOUTHERLY ALONG COASTAL TERMINALS FRI AFTERNOON.
NY METRO ENHANCED AVIATION WEATHER SUPPORT...

SAT- SUN...MVFR OR LOWER CIGS/VSBY POSSIBLE LATE AT NIGHT AND IN
THE MRNG. TSTMS POSSIBLE IN THE AFTERNOON NORTH AND WEST OF NYC.

POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY IN THE MRNG.

OTHERWISE...A SOUTH PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL PERSIST WITH SOUTH WINDS
AROUND 15 KT THROUGH EARLY TONIGHT. CONDITIONS BECOME MORE FAVORABLE

AND FIRE ISLAND INLET...CALLED THE AMBROSE JET ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON
AND EVENING.
SEAS WILL GRADUALLY BUILD TO AROUND 5 FT BY SUNSET FRIDAY.
STAY TUNED TO A POTENTIAL SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR WINDS AND/OR
