AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
640 PM EDT TUE SEP 18 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE MOVES INTO SOUTHEAST CANADA TONIGHT...PULLING A COLD
FRONT ACROSS THE REGION. THE COLD FRONT WILL BE OFFSHORE ON
WEDNESDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE BEGINNING TO BUILD IN FROM THE WEST.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL EXTEND ACROSS NEW ENGLAND THROUGH THE REMAINDER
OF THE WEEK AS A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS JUST TO THE
EAST. A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT TRACKS ACROSS THE AREA OVER THE
WEEKEND...FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
WATCHING THE LINE OF HEAVIER SHOWERS/TSTMS. THIS IS WHERE STRONG
TO SEVERE TSTMS WOULD OCCUR...AND TIMING DICTATES EXTENDING THE
TOR WATCH A LITTLE LONGER FOR WESTERN CWA.
THE CLOSEST APPROACH OF THE RIGHT REAR QUAD OF THE 130-140 SOUTH
SOUTHWESTERLY JET NEAR 250MB TONIGHT WILL RESULT IN CONTINUING
STRENGTHENING OF THE PARENT LOW AS IT MOVES INTO SOUTHEAST CANADA.
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL BE MOVING ACROSS THE REGION...IN THE
TIMEFRAME OF 3Z-9Z ACROSS THE CWA.
TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT WITH INCREASING LOW LEVEL SHEAR WILL
PRESENT A CONTINUED SEVERE THREAT WITH THE LIMITED LOW LEVEL CAPE.
AMBIENT ENVIRONMENT WILL BE MORE MOIST WITH THE REGION STILL BEING
IN THE WARM SECTOR. WITH CONTINUED LCL LOWERING INTO EARLY
EVENING...ISOLATE TORNADO THREAT REMAINS ACROSS MOST AREAS. WINDS
HOWEVER WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT WITH ANY HEAVY SHOWERS OR
THUNDERSTORMS SO WIND ADVISORY REMAINS.
WESTERN AREAS LOOK TO DIMINISH WITH PRECIP AND WINDS AFTER
MIDNIGHT WITH EASTERN AREAS BEING THE LAST TO HAVE THESE
CONDITIONS LOWER.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
THE COLD FRONT WILL BE PUSHING EAST WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
COMING TO AN END ACROSS THE FAR EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE CWA. SOME
PRETTY DECENT LOW LEVEL COLD AIR ADVECTION WITH THE NORTHERLY FLOW
AT THE LOW LEVELS AND BACKING TO MORE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT.
850MB TEMPS LOWER 3-5 DEGREES C THROUGHOUT THE DAY. MAV/MET BLEND
FOR HIGHS YIELDS NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL TEMPS.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
PATTERN AMPLIFIES AS LARGE TROUGH EXTENDS FROM CANADA ACROSS THE
GREAT LAKES REGION SOUTHWARD THROUGH LATE WEEK AND INTO THIS
WEEKEND. WEATHER SYSTEMS AS A RESULT MOVE SLOWLY OR BECOME STALLED.
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS JUST EAST OF THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT
THROUGH FRIDAY AS LOW PRESSURE RIDES ALONG IT. FOR MUCH IF NOT ALL
OF OUR AREA...HIGH PRESSURE EXTENDS ACROSS THE NORTHEAST OVER THE
AREA THIS TIME FRAME. I DO BELIEVE THIS WILL RESULT IN DRY
WEATHER...WITH ANY SHOWERS ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINING
EAST. HOWEVER...THIS WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED.
BY THE WEEKEND...THE TROUGH (WITH NOTABLE MODEL DIFFERENCES IN
STRENGTH AND MOVEMENT) FINALLY MOVES EAST/NORTHEAST. A FRONTAL
BOUNDARY THAT WILL ACCOMPANY THIS TROUGH EVENTUALLY MOVES EAST AS
WELL...AND COULD VERY WELL STALL NEARBY THROUGH SUNDAY. WOULD FAVOR
SLOWER TIMING...AND THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEKEND COULD BE
UNSETTLED...ALTHOUGH NOT A WASHOUT.
CLOSED UPPER LOW REMAINS WELL TO THE NORTH WITH GENERAL FLOW
FLATTENING ACROSS MUCH OF THE UNITED STATES. HIGH PRESSURE AT THE
SFC BUILDS...AND SHOULD PROVIDE DRY CONDITIONS MONDAY AND TUESDAY.
AS FOR TEMPS...A GRADUAL WARMUP EXPECTED LATE THIS WEEK AND INTO THE
EARLY PORTION OF THE WEEKEND. THEN TEMPS SHOULD FALL BACK A DEGREE
OR TWO BELOW NORMAL SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK BEHIND THE FRONT.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A COLD FRONT CROSSES THE AREA TONIGHT...FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING IN THROUGH WEDNESDAY. LOW TO MODERATE CONFIDENCE ON
FORECAST DUE TO UNCERTAINTIES OF TIMING OF THE PASSAGE OF THE
FRONT...AND PRECIP.
VERY GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE THIS EVENING AHEAD OF THE FRONT.
SUSTAINED WINDS BETWEEN 20 AND 30 KTS...WITH GUSTS GENERALLY
BETWEEN 30 AND 40 KTS. SHOULD SEE INCREASE IN GUSTS BETWEEN 23Z
AND 06Z...THEN DIMINISHING TREND AS THE FRONT PUSHES THROUGH.
GUSTS BETWEEN 20 AND 25 KTS CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT.
LLWS APPEARS WILL BE CONFINED TO KEWR ON EAST...WITH AROUND 50 KTS
AT 2000 FT.
LINE OF SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD PROGRESS
THROUGH THE CITY TERMINALS BETWEEN 23Z AND 06Z. THUNDERSTORMS WILL
BE MORE SCATTERED IN NATURE...WITH ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE.
MVFR LIKELY AND IFR POSSIBLE WITH THE CONVECTIVE LINE. PRECIPITATION
WILL END WITH COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE.

.MARINE...
GALES REMAIN ON THE WATERS TONIGHT WITH TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT
WITH SEAS BUILDING TO 8-13 FT. THE WINDS LOWER BY WEDNESDAY
MORNING AS THE FRONT PUSHES EAST OF THE REGION WITH SCA OCEAN SEAS
REMAINING THROUGH THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD TO THE NORTH AND EXTEND ACROSS
THE WATERS WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. A FRONTAL SYSTEM
REMAINS JUST EAST...AND A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE MAY RESULT IN WINDS
INCREASING FOR A TIME OVER THE EASTERN WATERS LATER THURSDAY.
A COLD FRONT EVENTUALLY TRACKS ACROSS THE WATERS LATER THIS WEEKEND.
SEAS BUILD SLIGHTLY OVER THE EASTERN WATERS LATE THIS WEEK DUE TO
WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE AND STRENGTHENING WINDS. THEN OCEAN SEAS
DIMINISH SOMEWHAT INTO SATURDAY. SEAS MAY APPROACH SCA CRITERIA
AGAIN ON SUNDAY AS THE COLD FRONT NEARS.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
ADDITIONAL ONE TO TWO INCHES OF RAINFALL IS LIKELY THROUGH EARLY
WEDNESDAY MORNING...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE.
MINOR...POOR DRAINAGE...AND URBAN FLOODING CAN BE EXPECTED IN SOME
AREAS WITH LOCAL FLASH FLOODING POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY IN THOSE
AREAS THAT EXPERIENCE TRAINING CELLS.
NO SIGNIFICANT WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY
THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
SOME SPOTS RECEIVED MINOR COASTAL FLOODING THIS MORNING AND SURGE
EXPECTED TO BE 1-2 FT TONIGHT. GUIDANCE IS REALLY NOT PICKING AT
ALL WITH THE HIGHER SURGE AND TAKING THIS INTO ACCOUNT...MINOR TO
POSSIBLY MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING IS EXPECTED WITH ALL THE PILING
OF WATER TONIGHT DURING HIGH TIDE FROM THE STRONG ONSHORE FLOW.
