AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
142 PM EDT WED AUG 28 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
A SERIES OF WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL IMPACT THE AREA
THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY EVENING. AN UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN WILL
REMAIN IN CONTROL THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK WITH UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCES MOVING THROUGH FROM TIME TO TIME. A WARM FRONT WILL
LIFT THROUGH ON SUNDAY...FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONT LATE MONDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
INCREASED POPS FOR THE AFTN TO ACCOUNT FOR LATEST RADAR TRENDS.
NUMEROUS SHOWERS WITH SCT TSTMS OVER NYC METRO AREA...WITH
ISOLATED CELLS FORMING ALONG THE SEA BREEZE RUNNING THE LENGTH OF
LI. INSTABILITY REMAINS DECENT ACROSS THE AREA...WITH VALUES
GENERALLY BETWEEN 1000 AND 2000 J/KG ACCORDING TO 17Z LAPS OVER
ENTIRE AREA. SOME OF THE CELLS MAINLY NYC AND WEST COULD BECOME
SEVERE WITH GUSTY WINDS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTN. NOT
ANTICIPATING THE SEVERE THREAT TO PUSH EAST THOUGH. IN
ADDITION...SLOW UPPER LEVEL FLOW IS KEEPING ANY STORM DEVELOPMENT
PUSHING TO THE E SLOW AS WELL. THIS COMBINED WITH PW VALUES OF
AROUND 1.8 INCHES COULD RESULT IN BRIEF HEAVY RAIN...AND THUS
FLOODING OF URBAN...POOR DRAINAGE AND LOW LYING AREAS.
WITH THE PCPN AND CLOUD COVER INCREASING...TEMPS WILL REMAIN NEAR
STEADY OR GRADUALLY DECREASE IN THE WAKE OF THE PCPN THROUGH THE
REST OF THE AFTN.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
UPPER TROUGH REMAINS IN PLACE TONIGHT AND THURSDAY...DEEPENING A
LITTLE TONIGHT OFF THE NORTHEAST COAST. NORTHWEST FLOW CONTINUES
ACROSS THE REGION WITH ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVES ROTATING THROUGH THE
UPPER TROUGH. TIMING OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS DIFFICULT AND
DEPENDENT ON THE SHORTWAVES PLACEMENT AND TIMING. MOST OF THE
ACTIVITY WILL BE DIURNALLY DRIVEN AS SURFACE TRIGGERS WILL BE
LACKING. ANY WAVES COMING THROUGH THURSDAY WILL BE WEAK AND WILL
ONLY CARRY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS.
AGAIN THE AIR MASS REMAINS IN PLACE AND WILL HAVE LOWS TONIGHT AND
HIGHS THURSDAY SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS PERIODS. LOWS TONIGHT WERE A
BLEND OF THE MAV AND MET GUIDANCE...AND RAISED A DEGREE OR TWO. AND
LEANED TOWARD THE MET GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS THURSDAY.
FOG IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AGAIN LATE TONIGHT AS THE WIND BECOMES
NEARLY CALM AND THE HUMID AIR MASS REMAINS IN PLACE. ALSO...ANY
PRECIPITATION WILL AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF FOG. UPDATED TO
MENTION AREAS OF FOG LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY THURSDAY MORNING.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST WITH LARGE SPREAD AMONGST DETERMINISTIC
MODELS DURING THE LONG TERM PERIOD. THEREFORE...HAVE LEANED HEAVILY
TOWARDS WPC GUIDANCE BEYOND SAT. LARGE SCALE UPPER PATTERN IS IN
GENERAL AGREEMENT...ITS THE DETAILS AND TIMING THAT ARE THE ISSUE.
LARGE RIDGE ENCOMPASSING THE CENTRAL US WILL RETROGRADE TOWARDS ITS
NORMAL POSITION OVER THE DESERT SW BY THE END OF THE WEEK. THIS WILL
RESULT IN A DIGGING MEAN TROUGH OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND NORTHEAST
OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AND AN UNSETTLED WEATHER
PATTERN.
MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH A SHORTWAVE DIVING FROM
EASTERN CANADA THROUGH NEW ENGLAND THU NIGHT...POSSIBLY BRUSHING
EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA. SCHC POPS ARE CONFINED TO AREAS E OF
FAIRFIELD COUNTY CT AND WESTERN SUFFOLK IN NY. HAVE KEPT FRI/FRI
NIGHT DRY ALTHOUGH THE EC DOES INDICATE A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH
MOVING THROUGH. IT IS THE ONLY MODEL THAT IS INDICATING THIS
CLEARLY. THE GFS HAS MULTIPLE VORTICITY MAXIMA MOVING THROUGH THE
AREA MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT WHEN THERE WOULD BE PRECIP. IT
LOOKS WAY OVERDONE WITH ITS QPF FIELDS OVERALL...WHILE THE CMC IS
MOSTLY DRY UNTIL THE WARM FRONT ON SUN/SUN NIGHT AND THEN
PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH ON MON. THE EC HAS ANOTHER SHORTWAVE LIFTING
THROUGH NEW ENGLAND ON SAT.
A WARM FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE S SAT NIGHT AND LIFT ACROSS THE
AREA ON SUN. HAVE CAPPED POPS AT 30 PERCENT DUE TO THE DIFFERENCES
IN COVERAGE OF PRECIP AMONGST THE GUIDANCE. WE'RE LIKELY TO BE WARM
SECTORED ON MON WITH A PREFRONTAL TROUGH DEVELOPING TO THE W OF NYC.
THIS WILL TRIGGER SHOWERS/TSTMS WITH A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH
LATE MON NIGHT INTO TUE MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE WITH A LESS HUMID
AIRMASS BUILDS IN LATER TUE.
TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO BE SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS UNTIL THE COLD
FRONT PASSES THROUGH...THEN BECOME A FEW DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.
&&
.AVIATION /17Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL IMPACT THE AIRPORTS THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING.
MAIN ISSUE IS SLOW MOVING CONVECTION THAT IS IMPACTING MOST
AIRPORTS. WILL NEED TO WATCH TRENDS...BUT EXPECT SLOW IMPROVEMENT
BY 21-23Z. LESS LIKELY AT KBDR AND KGON.
KGON MAY OBSERVE FOG AND STRATUS BY LATE AFTERNOON.
OTHERWISE...VFR THIS EVENING BEFORE MORE STRATUS AND FOG DEVELOPS
AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. IFR LIKELY OVERNIGHT.
STRATUS BURNS OFF THURSDAY MORNING.
WINDS WILL BE LIGHT E/SE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING...THEN
LIGHT E/NE OVERNIGHT.
NE WINDS EXPECTED THURSDAY MORNING.
