AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
742 PM EDT SUN AUG 5 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE REGION LATE TONIGHT. HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. A SLOW MOVING
FRONTAL SYSTEM MAY THEN IMPACT THE AREA FOR THE END OF THE WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
LINE OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EASTWARD FROM
EASTERN NEW JERSEY THIS EVENING. SOME WEAKENING OF THE LINE IS
EXPECTED EAST OF NEW YORK CITY AND INTO WESTERN CONNECTICUT. LINE
IS MOVING EAST AROUND 30 KT. MAIN THREAT IS GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY
RAIN. MAIN LINE EXPECTED TO BE EAST OF THE AREA AROUND MIDNIGHT.
WILL BE SOME SHOWERS CONTINUING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT BEHIND THE LINE.
LOW TEMPS KEPT NEAR THE NAM 2M NUMBERS DUE TO THE LLVL MOISTURE
IN PLACE.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
12Z MODEL SUITE HAS COME IN QUICKER WITH THE CLEARING FOR MON.
HAVE ACCEPTED THIS TREND BASED ON WHERE THE SYSTEM CURRENTLY IS
AND THE 00Z ECMWF. FCST INDICATES A SUNNY AFTN. HUMIDITY WILL BE
MUCH LOWER AS THE MOIST AIRMASS IS SHUNTED OFFSHORE. TEMPS A BLEND
OF GUIDANCE AND SEASONAL.
THERE IS A MDT RISK OF RIPS ON THE OCEANFRONT.
MAINLY SKC AND COOL MON NGT WITH TEMPS DROPPING INTO THE 50S
ACROSS THE COOL SPOTS.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
FAIR WEATHER THRU MIDWEEK WITH HIPRES TRAVERSING THE ERN SEABOARD.
RETURN FLOW THEN BRING ENOUGH HUMIDITY FOR PERHAPS A FEW ISOLD
DIURNAL TSTMS...MAINLY ACROSS THE INTERIOR...WED.
AS THE UPR RIDGE OVER THE PLAINS BUILDS WWD OVER THE 4
CORNERS...THIS WILL OPEN THE DOOR TO UPR LOWS DROPPING W OF THE
CWA FOR THE END OF THE WEEK. THE RESULT WOULD BE INCREASING
HUMIDITY AND CHANCES FOR PCPN WITH SW FLOW ALOFT. WRT
SPECIFICS...THE 12Z GFS IS SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT THAN THE 12Z
ECMWF...WITH THE ECMWF MUCH SLOWER WITH THE ONSET OF ORGANIZED
ACTIVITY OVER THE CWA. BECAUSE THE GFS TENDS TO OVER INITIATE
CONVECTION AND THE ECMWF HAS A GOOD TRACK RECORD WITH THE DYNAMICS
AT THE MEDIUM RANGE...WILL LEAN TOWARDS LWR POPS IN THE THU TIME
PERIOD AND FOCUS THE POTENTIAL ON FRI INTO THE WEEKEND FOR NOW.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT.
AN AREA OF WEAKENING THUNDERSTORMS IS MOVING THROUGH THE KNYC
TERMINALS NOW AND SHOULD BE EAST OF THE KNYC TERMINALS. THERE MAY
BE A FEW BRIEF GUSTS RANGING FROM 40-50 KT OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR
SO WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS.
GENERALLY VFR CONDS...EXCEPT IN TSRA...IN WHICH CONDS WOULD DROP
TO MVFR OR EVEN IFR.
BY 02Z...KNYC TERMINALS WILL BE CLEARED OF THE STRONGEST
STORMS...BUT SHOWERS WILL LINGER THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS.
ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS IS POSSIBLE WITH THE ACTUAL PASSAGE OF
THE COLD FRONT WELL AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AND PRIOR TO DAYBREAK.
A BRIEF PERIOD OF IFR CONDS IS POSSIBLE.
COLD FRONT SWINGS THROUGH THE REGION BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND 10Z.
WINDS SHIFT FROM SW...TO W...THEN TO NW FAIRLY QUICKLY.
NW WINDS WILL THEN AVERAGE 10-15 KT MONDAY MORNING BEFORE BACKING
TO THE WEST BY AFTERNOON.
OUTLOOK FOR 00Z TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
.MONDAY AFTERNOON-WEDNESDAY...VFR.
.THURSDAY-FRIDAY...MVFR OR LOWER POSSIBLE IN SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTMS.
&&
.MARINE...
UPDATED WEATHER GRIDS FOR LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS MOVING THROUGH THE
WATERS THIS EVENING.
WINDS WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE THRU THIS EVE AS THE PRES GRAD
TIGHTENS. WITH NEARSHORE MESONET DATA ALREADY COMING IN WITH THE
LOW 20S...WILL ISSUE A SCA FOR TNGT FOR ALL BUT THE HARBOR. TSTMS
WILL PRODUCE GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 30KT TNGT.
WINDS DECREASE ACROSS ALL THE WATERS MON AFT THE WIND SHIFT BEHIND
THE FRONT. THE SCA WILL NEED TO REMAIN UP FOR THE OCEAN WITH
LINGERING SEAS.
WINDS AND SEAS WILL THEN REMAIN BLW SCA LVL THRU MID WEEK WITH
HIGH PRES OVER THE WATERS. SCA CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP NEAR THE END
OF THE WEEK.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT TNGT. NO EXTENSION WAS
MADE INTO THE ERN ZONES WITH FFG OVER 2 INCHES. THE THREAT IS NOT
NON-ZERO HOWEVER...AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE MENTIONED IN THE HWO.
ELSEWHERE...FFG IS LOWER AND THE THREAT FOR FLOODING
REMAINS...MAINLY AS ORGANIZED CONVECTION TRACKS ACROSS THE CWA
TNGT.
PW/S AROUND 2.5 INCHES WILL POTENTIALLY YIELD RATES OF AROUND 2
INCHES/HR IN THE HEAVIEST TSTMS.
