AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
1233 AM EST FRI DEC 21 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
AS STRONG LOW PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION...A
SECONDARY LOW WILL DEVELOP OVER THE MID ATLANTIC COASTAL PLAIN AND
PASS TO THE NORTHWEST...DRIVING A STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS FRIDAY
MORNING WITH STRONG WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN. THIS SECOND LOW WILL
CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY AND MOVE NORTHEAST INTO THE SAINT LAWRENCE
RIVER VALLEY AND NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
SATURDAY...THEN INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES ON SUNDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD BEHIND THE LOW SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. A WEAK
LOW WILL PASS TO THE SOUTH CHRISTMAS EVE. ANOTHER STORM WILL
APPROACH FROM THE SOUTH WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
JUST SOME MINOR CHANGES WITH THIS UPDATE TO ACCOUNT FOR THE
TIMING OF RAINFALL. OTHERWISE...THE REST OF THE FORECAST IS ON
TRACK. THE HIGH WIND WARNING AND WIND ADVISORIES REMAIN IN EFFECT.
RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE NIGHT.
OBS OVER THE SOUTHEAST SHOW THAT SECONDARY CYCLOGENESIS HAS TAKEN
PLACE OVER SW VA AND NW NC...WITH STRONG PRESSURE FALLS TO THE
NORTHEAST...AS A STRONG UPPER JET ROUNDS THE BASE OF A NEGATIVELY
TILTED TROUGH FROM THE UPPER GREAT LAKES TO THE SRN APPALACHIANS.
THIS SECONDARY CYCLOGENESIS WILL ALSO AID DEVELOPMENT OF A 65-75
KT LOW LEVEL JET OVER THE MID ATLANTIC REGION...THAT SHOULD RIDE
UP INTO NYC METRO AND COASTAL SECTIONS THIS MORNING. SE WINDS
WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE OVERNIGHT...AND BECOME THEIR STRONGEST
TOWARD DAYBREAK AND THROUGH THE MORNING AS THE LLJ MOVES ACROSS.
SFC OBS WELL TO THE SOUTH EARLIER TONIGHT SHOWED AT LEAST 75
PERCENT OF THE EXISTING LLJ AT THAT POINT DESPITE A WEAK LOW LEVEL
INVERSION...AND THIS LOOKS REASONABLE FOR OUR CWA AS LOW LEVEL WAA
CONTINUES AND MAINTAINS MARGINAL LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY OR NEUTRAL
STABILITY. STRONGEST WINDS WILL MOST LIKELY OCCUR WITH A HEAVY
RAIN BAND ACCOMPANYING COLD FROPA AS PRE-FRONTAL PW INCREASES TO
1.0-1.5 INCHES...WHICH WILL AID DOWNWARD MOMENTUM TRANSFER...
ESPECIALLY NEAR SOUTH FACING COASTLINES AND IN THE NYC METRO AREA.
THE SYNOPTIC SETUP BEARS SIMILARITIES TO OTHER HIGH WIND EVENTS...
INCLUDING JAN 18 2006...JAN 25 2010 AND DEC 1 2010...ADDING TO FCST
CONFIDENCE.
PCPN WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH FROM WEST TO EAST IN THE AFTERNOON...AS
THE COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH AND DRIER AIR SLOWLY MOVES IN. COLD
AIR ADVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT WILL ALSO PUSH IN COOLER
TEMPS...WHICH COULD PRODUCE A RAIN/SNOW MIX LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON
WITH TEMPS DROPPING.
WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE SOUTHWEST BEHIND THE FRONT BY FRI
AFTERNOON... WITH GUSTS UP TO 30 KT STILL POSSIBLE.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
THE LOW SETS UP OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES REGION...WHILE THE
UPPER LEVEL CLOSED LOW REMAINS IN PLACE OVER THE NORTHEAST. SLIGHT
CHC POPS REMAIN IN PLACE FOR THE NIGHT...BUT WITH COOLER...DRIER
AIR MOVING IN...NOT EXPECTING MUCH IN THE FORM OF QPF. A STRONG
WIND GRADIENT COMBINED WITH CAA WILL KEEP GUSTY WINDS IN PLACE FOR
THE NIGHT...FINALLY DIMINISHING TO LESS THAN 10 KT BY LATE SAT
NIGHT. WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS DROPPING DOWN BACK TO NEAR NORMAL...ANY
PCPN OVER HUDSON RIVER VALLEY...INTERIOR CT AND NJ COULD BE IN THE
FORM OF SNOW SHOWERS...WITH A RAIN/SNOW MIX AT THE COAST. LITTLE
TO NO ACCUMULATION OF SNOW EXPECTED INLAND.
TEMPS RETURNING TO NEAR NORMAL...WITH TEMPS BELOW FREEZING
INLAND...AND IN THE LOWER 30S ALONG THE COAST.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY GFS AND ECMWF SIMILAR IN TIMING AND
PLACEMENT OF THE LOW MOVING THROUGH NEW ENGLAND INTO SOUTHEASTERN
CANADA...WHILE THE NAM IS A LITTLE SLOWER...WEAKER...AND FARTHER
EAST THAN THE GFS AND ECMWF. WITH THE ZONAL FLOW SETTING UP HAVE
LEANED TOWARD THE FASTER SOLUTIONS. PLENTY OF COLD AIR BEHIND THE
LOW. COMBINATION OF SOME INSTABILITY IN THE COLD AIR...AND A GOOD
FETCH FROM LAKE ERIE WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR SOME SNOW SHOWERS INLAND
AND RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS ALONG THE COAST DURING SATURDAY. HEIGHTS
BUILD SATURDAY NIGHT AND WILL END THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS.
MAINLY ZONAL FLOW SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. A WEAK WAVE QUICKLY MOVES
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT WHILE AT THE SURFACE A WEAK LOW PASSES SOUTH OF
THE REGION...WILL HAVE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW MONDAY NIGHT.
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.

HOW QUICKLY THE LOW MOVES NORTHEAST AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN
BEHIND THE LOW. ON THE REMAINDER OF THE WATERS GUSTS TO AT LEAST

WESTERN LI SOUND LOCALES. MINOR COASTAL FLOODING BENCHMARKS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE EXCEEDED ALONG THE SE AND S FACING COASTS OF
WESTERN AND CENTRAL LONG ISLAND SOUND...WITH ENHANCEMENT OF
INUNDATION FROM WAVE ACTION INTO THESE COASTAL AREAS. WILL ISSUE A
COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY FOR THESE AREAS.
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE COASTAL AREA...EARLIER TIMING OF HIGH
TIDE SHOULD KEEP WATER LEVELS MAINLY BELOW MINOR BENCHMARKS...BUT
