AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
723 PM EDT SAT SEP 22 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH TONIGHT FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING IN THROUGH MONDAY...AND SLIDING EAST OF THE REGION TUESDAY
INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST
WEDNESDAY...THEN MOVES ACROSS THE TRI- STATE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT...FOLLOWED BY CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN THROUGH THE
END OF THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK. A FRONTAL SYSTEM MAY AFFECT THE
AREA FOR THE WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
A COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH DURING THIS EVENING. WIDELY SCATTERED
SHRA/TSRA ALONG A SEABREEZE FRONT ACROSS NE NJ ARE EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE WEAKENING OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR SO. THE MAIN CONCERN IS
WITH A LINE OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS ALONG/AHEAD OF
THE COLD FRONT. THIS LINE IS EXPECTED TO ENTER WESTERN ORANGE
COUNTY SHORTLY...THEN WORK ITS WAY TO THE NYC METRO BY AROUND
830-900 PM. WITH A TONGUE OF MARGINAL LOW-LEVEL INSTABILITY
ADVECTED INTO THE REGION AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND STRONG WIND
FIELDS...MAIN CONCERN IS ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS
PRODUCING STRONG WIND GUSTS WITHIN THE LINE. THE LINE IS EXPECTED
TO GRADUALLY WEAKEN ONCE IT PASSES THROUGH THE NYC AREA DUE TO
DIMINISHING INSTABILITY.
ACROSS EASTERN ZONES...A FAVORABLY POSITIONED UPPER JET COUPLET
PRESENT BY THIS TIME...PVA AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING MID LEVEL
SHORTWAVE...AND LIFT FROM THE FRONT PASSING THROUGH...CANNOT RULE
OUT AT LEAST SCATTERED COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR
OUR EASTERN ZONES FOR THE FEW HOURS AFTER SUNDOWN.
PWATS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE TOO IMPRESSIVE AND STORMS WILL BE
MOVING RELATIVELY QUICKLY...SO ANY FLOODING IMPACTS WILL LIKELY BE
LIMITED TO LOCALIZED MINOR FLOODING OF URBAN/POOR DRAINAGE AREAS.
BY MIDNIGHT...MAINLY JUST CT AND LI ARE EXPECTED TO HAVE ANY
REMAINING THREAT OF SHOWERS. DRYING HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN
BEHIND THE FRONT OVERNIGHT.
THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS AT ATLANTIC BEACHES INTO THIS
EVENING.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO BUILD IN ON SUNDAY. WITH SUFFICIENT
MOISTURE AND A CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT...SOME CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED TO POP
UP IN THE AFTERNOON...BUT IT SHOULD REMAIN PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY
OVERALL. A MAV/NAM MOS BLEND LOOKED GOOD FOR HIGHS. WITH LIGHT WINDS
AND A MOSTLY CLEAR SKY SUNDAY NIGHT...TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO
DROP INTO THE UPPER 30S ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE NW ZONES AND THE PINE
BARRENS REGION.
FOR MONDAY...HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS IN CONTROL...BUT A PRETTY POTENT
SHORTWAVE IS PROGGED TO MOVE THROUGH IN THE MORNING TO EARLY
AFTERNOON HOURS. MOISTURE LOOKS TO BE LACKING FOR A MENTION OF
SHOWERS...SO WILL JUST GO WITH SOME CLOUD COVER. AGAIN...NOT
EXPECTING BROKEN OR OVERCAST CONDITIONS SO IT SHOULD BE ANOTHER DAY
WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE. BASED ON 850 TEMPS OF 3-4C...A BLEND OF THE
MAV AND NAM MOS...WEIGHTED TOWARDS THE COOLER MAV NUMBERS WAS USED.
DRY AND COOL CONDITIONS CONTINUE INTO MONDAY NIGHT. NO CONCERNS OF
FROST FORMATION ACROSS THE FAR NW ZONES JUST YET.
THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS AT ATLANTIC BEACHES ON
SUNDAY.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
MEAN UPPER TROUGHING ACROSS THE NE DURING THE MIDWEEK PERIOD WILL
GIVE WAY TO BRIEF ZONAL FLOW TO END THE WEEK...WITH A LIKELY RETURN
TO TROUGHING FOR THE WEEKEND.
BREEZY BUT DRY AND SEASONABLY MILD CONDITIONS LIKELY ON TUESDAY AS
EAST COAST HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES EAST.
DIFFERENCES CONTINUE IN TIMING AND DEPTH OF A TROUGH EXPECTED TO
CROSS THE AREA WED/THU. OPERATIONAL GFS STILL A BIT MORE PROGRESSIVE
THAN ECMWF/CAN/GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN...ALTHOUGH THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF
VARIABILITY AMONGST MEMBERS OF GFS ENSEMBLE. AS A RESULT WILL KEEP
CONTINUITY WITH GOING FORECAST...WITH BEST CHANCE OF SHOWER ACTIVITY
WED AFTERNOON INTO WED NIGHT WITH APPROACH AND CROSSING OF COLD
FRONT. MOST SOLUTIONS PUSH THE COLD FRONT THROUGH BY THURSDAY
MORNING...SO HAVE TRENDED TO A DRY FORECAST FOR THURSDAY. THERMAL
PROFILES ARE NOT INDICATIVE OF THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. A
STRENGTHENING SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT SHOULD
RESULT IN A BREEZY BUT WARM DAY ON WEDNESDAY.
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE EXPECTED TO BUILD IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD
FRONT...WITH DRY AND SLIGHTLY BELOW SEASONABLE TEMPS FOR THURS AND
FRI.
THEN FORECAST UNCERTAINTY EXISTS FOR THE WEEKEND AS SEVERAL NORTHERN
STREAM SHORTWAVES COULD PLAY A ROLE IN THE EVOLUTION OF A DEVELOPING
OHIO VALLEY/EAST COAST TROUGH. THE TREND IS TOWARDS UNSETTLED
WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND AS ANY TROUGHING DEVELOPING TO THE WEST
WOULD LIKELY ALLOW A STATIONARY FRONT TO THE SOUTH TO BEGIN TO LIFT
NORTH AND INCREASING CHANCES FOR RAIN. HAVE INTRODUCED SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS FOR THE WEEKEND FOR NOW BASED ON THIS.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A COLD FRONT OVER CNTRL NY STATE AND ERN PA WILL PASS THRU THE
REGION TNGT.
LEADING LINE OF SHRA AND TSTMS APPROACHING KSWF. THIS LINE
CONTINUES TO TRACK EWD AT AROUND 22KT. TEMPO HAS BEEN INCLUDED FOR
ALL TAFS FOR THIS LINE. INTENSITY IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN AFT THEY
REACH THE CITY...THEREFORE ONLY SHRA FCST FOR ERN ARPTS.
MVFR CONTINUES ACROSS ERN ARPTS TIL THE FRONT CLEARS. MVFR
POSSIBLE ALL AREAS WITH THE PCPN THIS EVE.
CONDITIONS IMPROVE TO VFR OVERNIGHT AND CONTINUE THRU SUN.
ENHANCED JET WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT KJFK AND KLGA TIL THE FRONT
REACHES THE AREA. ELSEWHERE...LIGHTER S TO SE WINDS EXPECTED
PRE-FRONTAL.
VARIABILITY IN THE WIND FIELD CAN BE EXPECTED INVOF SHRA/TSTMS
THIS EVE.
WINDS SHIFT TO THE W THEN NW BEHIND THE FRONT. COULD SEE SOME
GUSTS UP TO 20KT. NW WINDS CONTINUE THRU THE DAY ON SUN. WEAKENING
WINDS ALOFT SHOULD RESULT IN DIMINISHING GUST POTENTIAL SO HAVE
NOT INCLUDED IN THE TAFS ATTM.
OUTLOOK FOR 00Z MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...
.SUNDAY NIGHT-WEDNESDAY...VFR.
.WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH ACROSS THE
REGION. CHANCE OF SUB-VFR CONDITIONS WITH ANY PRECIPITATION.
&&
.MARINE...
SCA REMAINS POSTED FOR THE OCEAN ZONES TONIGHT. HAVE TRIMMED BACK
THE ENDING TIME HOWEVER AS WAVEWATCH APPEARS TO BE HANGING ONTO 5FT
WAVES FOR TOO LONG...AND BASED ON WHAT IS FORECAST AT THE TOP OF THE
MIXED LAYER...GUSTS OF 25KT OR HIGHER SHOULD NOT LAST MUCH BEYOND
THE LATE NIGHT HOURS...IF AT ALL IN SOME CASES. SO WILL GO WITH AN
ENDING TIME OF TONIGHT FOR ANZ355...AND AT NOON ON SUNDAY FOR ANZ353
AND ANZ350. SO BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON...LOOKING AT THE LIKELIHOOD OF
SUB-SCA CONDITIONS FOR ALL OF OUR WATERS. MORE TRANQUIL CONDITION
SETTLE IN ON MONDAY WITH THE CENTER OF HIGH PRESSURE MOVING CLOSER.
SUB SCA CONDS EXPECTED ON TUES AS HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY SLIDES EAST.
A TIGHTENING GRADIENT WILL HAVE S/SW FLOW STRENGTHENING TUE INTO WED
AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT...WITH MARGINAL SCA CONDS POSSIBLE WED INTO
WED NIGHT.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
WIDESPREAD SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION (0.5 INCHES OR GREATER)...IS
NOT EXPECTED THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD.
THE PASSING OF THE COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO PRODUCE UP TO A THIRD
OF AN INCH OF BASIN AVERAGE RAINFALL...HIGHEST OVER THE HUDSON
VALLEY AND ADJACENT AREAS. HOWEVER WITH PRECIPITABLE WATERS FORECAST
NEAR 1.25 INCHES AHEAD OF THE FRONT...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS
POSSIBLE WITH ANY STRONGER CONVECTION...WHICH MIGHT CAUSE LOCALIZED
MINOR FLOODING OF URBAN/POOR DRAINAGE AREAS.
