AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
1042 PM EST WED DEC 26 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG NOR'EASTER WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT THROUGH
THURSDAY. HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. ANOTHER
COASTAL STORM IMPACTS THE REGION SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE RETURNS FOR THE NEW WORK WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS UP FOR ORANGE AND WESTERN PASSAIC
COUNTIES. PUTNAM COUNTY WAS ADDED TO THE WARNING FOR THE
COMBINATION OF SNOW AND ICE.
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR NORTHERN
BERGEN...ROCKLAND...NORTHERN WESTCHESTER...AND INTERIOR
SOUTHWESTERN CT.
WARMER AIR CONTINUING TO MOVE INTO THE REGION...AND SNOW IS
BEGINNING TO MIX WITH FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET FOR AREAS WELL
INLAND...BUT TEMPS ARE STILL BELOW FREEZING. MEANWHILE...COASTAL
CT HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED OVER TO RAIN.
NOR'EASTER CONTINUES TO DEVELOP OVER THE DELMARVA...AS
THE LARGEST PRESSURE DROPS HAVE OCCURRED OVER NORTHEAST VA. AHEAD
OF THE LOW...A STRONG LLJ OF 65-75 KT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION
WITH SUSTAINED WINDS OF 30-40 MPH AND WIND GUSTS OF 50-60 MPH. THE
STRONGEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED NEAR THE COASTAL AREAS...AND HIGH
WIND WARNINGS REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR LONG ISLAND...NYC...AND COASTAL
CT. OTHERWISE...WIND ADVISORIES ARE UP FOR THE REST OF THE
REGION...AND THE WINTER STORM WARNING AND WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORIES WILL BE USED TO HIGHLIGHT THE POTENTIAL DAMAGING WINDS.
THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL OCCUR THROUGH MIDNIGHT...THEN WINDS
DIMINISH FAIRLY RAPIDLY FROM WEST TO EAST AS LOW PRES WORKS ITS
WAY THROUGH THE REGION. WITH THE LOW NEARLY OVERHEAD...WINDS MAY
EVEN DROP TO 5-10 MPH BRIEFLY LATE TONIGHT.
MODELS ARE TRENDING WARMER...AND INTERIOR PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST
AREA MAY NOT GET QUITE AS MUCH SNOW AND ICE...AS SNOW...SLEET...
AND FREEZING RAIN WILL CHANGE TO PLAIN RAIN TOWARDS DAYBREAK
THURSDAY. TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS OF 4-6 INCHES OF SNOW POSSIBLE
ACROSS WESTERN PASSAIC...ORANGE AND PUTNAM COUNTIES...AND THEN
1/2" OF ICE POSSIBLE THERE. OTHERWISE...2-4" SNOW AND 1/10" ICE
POSSIBLE IN THE ADVISED AREAS EXCEPT FOR NYC. CONDS ARE BECOMING
WARMER...AND IT APPEARS THAT DESPITE NORTHERLY WINDS...TEMPS WILL
BE ABLE TO WARM INTO THE 30S ACROSS THE INTERIOR ZONES. THIS IS
DUE TO THE EASTERLY WINDS AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM WILL PULL THE WARMER
AIR OFF THE OCEAN AND WRAP IT AROUND INTO THE REGION.
HEAVY RAIN WILL FALL ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA TONIGHT...TAPERING OFF
FROM WEST TO EAST TOWARDS DAYBREAK THURSDAY.
SEE COASTAL FLOOD SECTION FOR THAT HAZARD AND HYDROLOGY FOR
POTENTIAL FLOOD ISSUES.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
LOW PRES DEPARTS ON THURSDAY...AND RAIN TAPERS OFF FROM WEST TO
EAST. NW WINDS BEHIND THE DEPARTING STORM WILL INCREASE TO 15-20
MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 30 MPH. CAA DEVELOPS...RESULTING IN FALLING
TEMPS DURING THE AFTERNOON. HIGHS THURSDAY WILL BE IN THE UPPER
30S ACROSS NORTHERN ZONES AND IN THE MID 40S ELSEWHERE.
SEE COASTAL FLOOD SECTION FOR IMPACTS FROM THE EARLY THURSDAY
MORNING HIGH TIDE...AND HYDROLOGY SECTION FOR IMPACTS FROM RUNOFF.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
STRONG UPPER LOW LIFTS TO THE NORTHEAST...WITH WEAK AND BRIEF
RIDGING EXPECTED FRIDAY. NEXT TROUGH AND SHOT OF COLDER AIR MOVES
IN FOR THE WEEKEND...WITH MODEL DIFFERENCES NOTED FROM THIS
WEEKEND AND BEYOND. ONCE THE TROUGH EXITS TO THE EAST...UPPER FLOW
BECOMES WESTERLY...WITH ECMWF STILL INDICATING LOWERING HEIGHTS
ACROSS THE NORTHEAST BY TUESDAY AS COMPARED TO GFS/GEFS MEAN AND
CMC. ECMWF THEN CARVES OUT A CLOSED LOW JUST TO THE EAST BY MID
WEEK.
AT THE SFC...DEEP LOW OVER THE CAPE OR JUST EAST OF THE NEW
ENGLAND COAST TRACKS TO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES THURSDAY NIGHT AND
FRIDAY. WEAK HIGH BUILDS IN LATE FRIDAY...WITH LOW PRESSURE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP NEAR THE GULF STATES AND TRACK TOWARD THE
SOUTHEAST/MID ATLC COAST SATURDAY. THIS LOW IS MORE
PROGRESSIVE...AND MOVES OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC AS IT DEEPENS
LATE SATURDAY OR SUNDAY. THIS COULD RESULT IN SOME LIGHT SNOW
ACCUM...BUT THIS SYSTEM WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED AS THE EVENT
NEARS. A SLIGHT TREND WEST COULD HAVE A BIGGER IMPACT ON OUR AREA.
THEN THIS STORM DEPARTS TO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES...LEAVING STRONG
NW FLOW IN ITS WAKE. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS TO THE SOUTH LATE THIS
WEEKEND...THEN MANY QUESTIONS ARISE DUE TO THE DIFFERENCES IN THE
TROUGH/UPPER PATTERN EARLY NEXT WEEK AS ALREADY NOTED. ECMWF...DUE
TO THE STRONGER TROUGH ALOFT IS OBVIOUSLY TRACKING A MORE
SIGNIFICANT FRONT THROUGH TUESDAY...FROM THE NW. STILL PLENTY OF
TIME TO IRON OUT THESE DETAILS...BUT COLDER THAN NORMAL CONDITIONS
WILL PREDOMINATE THIS TIME FRAME.
&&
.AVIATION /03Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
***HIGH IMPACT EVENT TONIGHT THRU EARLY THURSDAY.***
STRONG LOW PRESSURE MOVES FROM SOUTH CENTRAL NEW JERSEY TO SOUTHEAST
OF LONG ISLAND TONIGHT AND WILL MOVE ACROSS EASTERN LONG ISLAND
INTO COASTAL NEW ENGLAND ON THURSDAY.
CONDITIONS HAVE NOT LOWERED AS FAST TO IFR AS EXPECTED WITH MVFR
CONDITIONS HANGING ON THIS EVENING FOR QUITE A FEW TERMINALS.
HOWEVER...STILL THINK THAT THE TREND WILL BE IFR WITH MORE
PRECIPITATION COMING INTO THE AREA WITH MAINLY RAIN AT COASTAL
TERMINALS AND A MIX OF FZRA/PL/SN AT KSWF...WHICH EVENTUALLY
BECOMES FZRA/PL. PRECIPITATION TAPERS OFF THURSDAY MORNING.
WINDS HAVE ALSO LOWERED A LITTLE THIS EVENING BUT EXPECT THIS TO
INCREASE GOING INTO THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. THEREFORE...GENERALLY
STILL EXPECTING E WINDS AROUND 25-35KT GUSTING AROUND 40-50KT.
LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR CONTINUES WITH EASTERLY WINDS AROUND 60-65KT
THROUGH THE EVENING AND THEN THIS DECREASES OVERNIGHT FROM WEST TO
EAST. WINDS WILL BE LOWERING BY EARLY THURSDAY MORNING AND GUSTS
COULD DROP OFF ALTOGETHER IN SOME TERMINALS. THEY REBOUND SOON
THEREAFTER OUT OF THE NORTHWEST WITH SUSTAINED WINDS 15-20KT WITH
GUSTS 25-35KT.
AMENDMENTS LIKELY TO REFINE TIMING OF CATEGORICAL CHANGES TONIGHT
AND WIND CHANGES ON THE ORDER OF 10KT. CONFIDENCE OVERALL IS
MODERATE AS CONDITIONS COULD VARY BY A CATEGORY FROM WHAT IS
FORECAST AND TIMING OF IMPROVEMENT THURSDAY COULD BE OFF BY A FEW
HOURS.
.OUTLOOK FOR 00Z FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
.THURSDAY NIGHT...VFR WITH NW WINDS AROUND 15 KT WITH GUSTS AROUND
25-30KT.
.FRIDAY...VFR. NW WINDS 15-20 KT WITH 20-30 KT GUSTS SUBSIDING

.SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...VFR INITIALLY...THEN MVFR...LOWERING TO
IFR SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS ANOTHER STORM APPROACHES FROM THE SOUTH
AND WEST. LOW CONFIDENCE AT THIS IF PCPN WILL BE RAIN OR SNOW.
GUSTY NW WINDS LIKELY SUNDAY BEHIND THE SYSTEM.
&&
.MARINE...
BUOY NOTE...WINDS AT 44025 ARE OTS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
EASTERLY WINDS INCREASE TO STORM FORCE LEVELS TONIGHT AS A STRONG
NOR'EASTER APPROACHES TONIGHT AND PASSES OVER LONG ISLAND THURSDAY
MORNING BEFORE DEPARTING LATE IN THE DAY. BEHIND THE STORM...WINDS
WILL BRIEFLY DIMINISH THURSDAY MORNING...BUT GALES ARE EXPECTED ON
THURSDAY AS A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT DEVELOPS BETWEEN THE
DEPARTING STORM AND HIGH PRES BUILDING IN FROM THE WEST.
GUSTY NW WINDS IN THE WAKE OF THE DEPARTING DEEP LOW CONTINUES
THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY...THEN WINDS WILL DIMINISH AS WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE CENTER WILL PASS TO THE EAST
OF THE WATERS SATURDAY...THEN NORTHEAST LATE THIS WEEKEND. WINDS
INCREASE ONCE AGAIN...BEFORE CONDITIONS IMPROVE SOMEWHAT MONDAY AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS TO THE SOUTH.
SEAS WILL REMAIN ROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY IN RESPONSE TO THE
STRONG WINDS...AND WILL FOLLOW WAVE WATCH/BUOY CLIMO THIS TIME FRAME.
AGAIN...WAVE WATCH SEEMS TO CAPTURE THE BUILDING SEAS LATER THIS
WEEKEND.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
STORM TOTAL PRECIPITATION OF 1.5 TO 2 INCHES...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER
AMOUNTS...WILL FALL TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING.
LATEST ENSEMBLE RIVER FORECASTS BRING THE RAMAPO RIVER AT MAHWAH
TO ACTION OR MINOR FLOOD STAGE. OTHERWISE...KEEPING THE REST OF
OUR RIVERS FORECAST POINTS ACROSS OUR AREA AT ACTION STAGE OR
BELOW.

FFG GUIDANCE OF 1 1/4 TO 1 1/2 INCHES IN 12 HRS. THE TOTAL QPF
ALSO RESULTS IN THE POTENTIAL FOR URBAN AND SMALL STREAM
FLOODING.
LONG TERM...1/4 TO POSSIBLY 1/2 INCH OF QPF IS EXPECTED IN THE
LONG TERM WITH THE COASTAL STORM SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. THERE
IS MUCH UNCERTAINTY WITH THE TRACK...SO STAY TUNED.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
AN APPROACHING COASTAL STORM LATE TODAY INTO TONIGHT WILL BRING A
THREAT OF COASTAL FLOODING. TIDAL SURGE OF 3 TO 5 FT IS
EXPECTED...WITH IT LIKELY PEAKING BETWEEN TONIGHTS AND THURSDAY

EVE AND 3 1/2 TO 4 1/2 FT FOR MODERATE. 2 TO 2 1/2 FT ARE NEEDED
FOR MINOR AND 3 1/2 TO 4 FT FOR MODERATE FOR THURSDAY MORNING
HIGH TIDE.
IT APPEARS THAT WIDESPREAD MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING IS EXPECTED
ACROSS LOW LYING AREAS OF WESTERN LI SOUND FOR TONIGHTS HIGH TIDE
CYCLE DUE TO THE COMBINATION OF STORM TIDE AND WAVE ACTION...WITH
WIDESPREAD MINOR ACROSS NYC HARBOR AND THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN
BAYS OF NYC/LI.
WIDESPREAD MINOR COASTAL FLOODING IS EXPECTED DURING THURSDAY MORNING
HIGH TIDE CYCLE...WITH MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING LIKELY ACROSS
