AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
651 AM EST FRI DEC 21 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE TRI STATE AREA THIS MORNING. A STRONG
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM REMAINS TO OUR NORTH THROUGH TONIGHT BEFORE
SHIFTING INTO NEW ENGLAND ON SATURDAY. LOW PRESSURE THEN MOVES
INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES ON SUNDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD
INTO THE REGION BEHIND THE LOW SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. A WEAK LOW
WILL PASS TO THE SOUTH CHRISTMAS EVE NIGHT INTO CHRISTMAS MORNING.
ANOTHER STORM WILL APPROACH FROM THE SOUTH WEDNESDAY INTO
THURSDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
RAIN...HEAVY AT TIMES...MOVES THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING
ALONG WITH A COLD FRONT. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON RAIN
IMPACTS...PLEASE SEE THE HYDROLOGY SECTION BELOW. FORECAST MODELS
AND LATEST OBS CONTINUE TO SHOW STRONG WINDS NOT TOO FAR ABOVE THE
SURFACE. THIS...ALONG WITH A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT...SUPPORT
MAINTAINING A HIGH WIND WARNING THIS MORNING WHERE IT HAD BEEN
EARLIER POSTED...AND A WIND ADVISORY ELSEWHERE. GUSTS OF 60-70 MPH
ARE POSSIBLE IN THE WARNED AREA. THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL MOST
LIKELY OCCUR WITH HEAVY DOWNPOURS ACCOMPANYING THE COLD FRONT. THERE
IS JUST ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR THIS STRONG STORM TO PRODUCE A RUMBLE
OR TWO OF THUNDER WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT. THIS SETUP
BEARS SIMILARITIES TO OTHER HIGH WIND EVENTS...INCLUDING JAN 18
2006...JAN 25 2010 AND DEC 1 2010...ADDING TO FORECAST CONFIDENCE.
NOT AS WINDY THIS AFTERNOON...BUT STILL EXPECTING BREEZY CONDITIONS
WITH GUSTS OF 35-40 MPH. DRY FOR THE MOST PART AS WELL WITH MAYBE A
LATE DAY SNOW SHOWER OR FLURRY FOR THE FAR NORTHWEST. RAIN SHOWERS
STILL POSSIBLE IN THE VICINITY OF EASTERN LONG ISLAND AND SE CT DUE
TO THE WIND DIRECTION OVER THE SOUND AND OCEAN. HIGH TEMPERATURES
WILL PROBABLY OCCUR LATE IN THE MORNING/MIDDAY BEFORE DROPPING
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
STILL ON THE BREEZY SIDE TONIGHT...AND WITH A DISTURBANCE IN THE
HIGHER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE...THERE COULD BE A FEW SNOW SHOWERS
GENERALLY NORTH AND WEST...WITH MIXED RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS SOUTH
AND EAST. WIND CHILL VALUES WILL DROP INTO THE LOW TO MID 20S LATE
AT NIGHT.
ANOTHER DISTURBANCE PASSES THROUGH ON SATURDAY...MAINTAINING THE
THREAT OF SNOW SHOWERS OR A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS.
STILL...ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE
COLDER THAN TODAY'S...MAKING THEM CLOSER TO NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF
THE YEAR. IT WILL BE ANOTHER BREEZY DAY AS THE STORM SLOWLY MOVES
THROUGH NEW ENGLAND. GUSTS UP TO 35-40MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
FOR THE START OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD....THE NAM...GFS AND ECMWF ALL
SIMILAR IN TIMING AND PLACEMENT OF THE LOW MOVING THROUGH NEW
ENGLAND INTO SOUTHEASTERN CANADA. THEREFORE...HAVE FOLLOWED A BLEND
OF ALL THREE. AS HEIGHTS BUILD SATURDAY NIGHT GENERALLY LOOKING AT
DRY CONDITIONS...THEREFORE HAVE ENDED ANY POPS IN THE FORECAST FOR
SATURDAY NIGHT. A FEW ISOLATED SNOW SHOWERS CAN NOT BE RULED OUT
EARLY IN THE PERIOD.
ZONAL FLOW DEVELOPS DURING THE DAY SUNDAY AND CONTINUES THROUGH
MONDAY WITH DRY WEATHER EXPECTED.
A WEAK WAVE DEVELOPS AND MOVES THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY.
THE 21/00Z GFS AND ECMWF CAME IN WITH A SLIGHTLY STRONGER LOW AND
WOULD LIKE TO SEE ANOTHER MODEL RUN OR TWO WITH A BIT MORE
CONSISTENCY BEFORE INCREASING POPS. SO...WILL CONTINUE TO CARRY A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW MONDAY NIGHT INTO THE DAY ON TUESDAY. IF
THE MODELS CONTINUE WITH THIS TREND...WILL HAVE TO INCREASE POPS.
WITH MODEL DISCREPANCIES TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY WITH THE GFS
ENSEMBLES AND ECMWF ENSEMBLES MORE REASONABLE AND TO MAINTAIN
FORECAST CONTINUITY HAVE USED THE HPC GUIDANCE. STILL LOOKING AT
ANOTHER STORM APPROACHING FROM THE SOUTH INLAND WEDNESDAY NIGHT
INTO THURSDAY...WITH A POTENTIAL COASTAL STORM DEVELOPING THURSDAY.
&&

.MARINE...
STORM WARNING REMAINS POSTED FOR ALL WATERS THROUGH
TODAY...HOWEVER...STORM FORCE GUSTS MIGHT NOT OCCUR DURING THE
AFTERNOON HOURS AND MIGHT NEED TO BE SHORTENED IN TIME. GALES
SHOULD DOMINATE THE AFTERNOON HOURS...AND FOR THE OCEAN
WATERS...CONTINUE TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. AT LEAST SCA CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED ELSEWHERE DURING THIS TIME.
SEAS SHOULD BUILD TO 11-15 FT ON THE OCEAN AND TO 6-8 FT ON LI SOUND
TODAY.
SOME LEFT OVER GALE FORCE WINDS ON THE OCEAN WILL BE LIKELY THROUGH
THE FIRST HALF OF SATURDAY NIGHT...HOWEVER...WINDS WILL BE
DIMINISHING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. ON THE REMAINDER OF THE
WATERS...GUSTS TO AT LEAST SMALL CRAFT LEVELS WILL BE LIKELY
SATURDAY NIGHT.
IT WILL TAKE INTO SUNDAY NIGHT FOR GUSTS ON THE FORECAST WATERS TO
DIMINISH BELOW SMALL CRAFT LEVELS. SEAS ON THE OCEAN WATERS WILL
ALSO SUBSIDE BELOW SMALL CRAFT LEVELS SUNDAY NIGHT.
WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE AREA WINDS AND SEAS WILL BE BELOW SMALL
CRAFT LEVELS MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.
WIND AND SEAS WILL BUILD ONCE AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY WITH THE APPROACH
OF THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
AN ADDITIONAL HALF INCH TO INCH OF RAINFALL IS EXPECTED TODAY. BASED
ON OBSERVATIONS AND RADAR ESTIMATES...RAINFALL RATES HAVE BEEN
FALLING SHORT OF FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE. ANY FLOODING MOST LIKELY
WOULD BE MINOR URBANIZED/POOR DRAINAGE IN NATURE...BUT WITH THE
THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS...CANNOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT FLASH FLOODING.
SMALL STREAM FLOODING COULD BE POSSIBLE AS WELL...BUT MINOR AT BEST.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
BENCHMARKS ACROSS THE SOUTH SHORE BAYS HAVE BEEN MET OR SLIGHTLY
EXCEEDED WITH THE CURRENT HIGH TIDE CYCLE. BASED ON THIS...HAVE
INCREASING CONFIDENCE THAT THE COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY CURRENTLY
POSTED FOR THE WESTERN SOUND WILL VERIFY AS WINDS WILL BE STRONGER
BY THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE THERE. STORM SURGE AT HIGH TIDE WILL HAVE
TO AVERAGE 2-2.5 FT TO REACH MINOR THRESHOLDS.
