AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
433 PM EDT THU SEP 12 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE TRI-STATE TONIGHT...FOLLOWED
BY HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...THEN SLIDING
OFFSHORE SUNDAY. ANOTHER COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION
SUNDAY NIGHT...WITH HIGH PRESSURE THEN TAKING HOLD OF THE
NORTHEAST FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 524 IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM FOR NE
NJ/LOWER HUDSON VALLEY/S CT. DID NOT INCLUDE NYC/LONG ISLAND AT
THIS TIME DUE TO INFLUENCE OF MARINE LAYER. WILL CONTINUE TO
MONITOR THIS AND ADJUST THE WATCH LATER IF NEEDED.
OUTSIDE OF AREAS WITH ONGOING CONVECTION OR MARINE
INFLUENCE...CURRENTLY HAVE 1500-3000 J/KG OF CAPE...THIS COUPLED
WITH 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR FORECAST TO INCREASE TO 30-40
KT...APPROACHING 700-500 HAP SHORTWAVE...AND THE RIGHT REAR
QUADRANT OF A 125+ KT 250 HPA JET STREAK BUILDING OVER THE AREA
WARRANTS THE WATCH BOX OUTSIDE OF AREAS EXPERIENCING A MARINE
INFLUENCE...WITH MAIN THREAT GUSTY WINDS.
ALSO...WITH HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATERS...HAVE THE THREAT FOR
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS...BEFORE
SUPPORTING 700-500 HPA SHORTWAVE LIFTS TO THE NE. REFER TO THE
HYDRO SECTION OF THE AFD FOR DETAILS.
FOR LOWS TONIGHT USED A BLEND OF MAV/MET GUIDANCE WITH NAM 2-METER
TEMPERATURES...WITH VALUES FORECAST TO BE AROUND 5 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
A DEEP TROUGH BUILDS OVER THE NE U.S. THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. OTHER
THAN MAYBE SOME LINGERING SHRA OVER FAR EASTERN ZONES FRIDAY
MORNING...IT SHOULD BE MAINLY DRY WITH NW LOW LEVEL FLOW DRYING
OUT THE LOW LEVELS. WILL SEE SOME INSTABILITY DRIVEN
CLOUDS...ESPECIALLY OVER THE INTERIOR BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON IN
RESPONSE TO THE LOW-MID LEVEL COLD POOL BEGINNING TO BUILD INTO THE
CWA. ISOLATED SPRINKLES ALSO CANNOT BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT...BUT
CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO REFLECT IN THE FORECAST AT THIS
TIME. FRIDAY NIGHT SHOULD BE DRY WITH MINIMAL CLOUD COVER...AFTER
INSTABILITY CLOUDS DISSIPATE WITH THE LOSS OF SOLAR HEATING.
FOR HIGHS FRIDAY USED A BLEND OF MIXING DOWN FROM AROUND 850 HPA
WITH NAM 2-METER TEMPERATURES AND A BLEND OF MAV/MET GUIDANCE. IT
WILL BE NOTABLY COOLER AND LESS HUMID THAN TODAY. HIGHS SHOULD BE
NEAR NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.
FRIDAY NIGHT WILL FEATURE LOWS 5-10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL BASED ON
A BLEND OF MAV/MET GUIDANCE. RIGHT NOW IT APPEARS THAT DECOUPLING
IS LIKELY ONLY ACROSS DEEPER VALLEYS TO THE N/W OF NYC...SO HAVE
KEPT TEMPERATURES OVER EASTERN LONG ISLAND A TAD ABOVE GUIDANCE.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
RELATIVELY QUIET PERIOD THIS WEEKEND THROUGH NEXT WEEK. SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST SAT...WITH THE CENTER OF THE HIGH
THEN PUSHING EAST AND PASSING JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA SUNDAY. UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH SWINGS ACROSS THE NORTHEAST SAT...WITH A ZONAL FLOW
ALOFT SETTING UP BRIEFLY SUNDAY BEFORE THE NEXT TROUGH. THIS PATTERN
SHOULD KEEP DRY CONDITIONS IN THE FORECAST THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. A
RUSH OF COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL SEE 850MB TEMPS DROP INTO THE LOWER
SINGLE DIGITS FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEKEND...RESULTING IN WELL
BELOW NORMAL HIGHS SAT AND LOWS SAT NIGHT. CLEARING SKIES AND LIGHT
WINDS SHOULD LEAD TO DECENT RADIATIONAL COOLING SAT NIGHT...AND WITH
FORECASTED LOWS CURRENTLY JUST A FEW DEGREES ABOVE RECORD
LOWS...COULD SEE THE LOWS EVEN INCH CLOSER TO THE RECORDS. AS THE
RETURN FLOW SETS UP SUNDAY...TEMPS BEGIN TO INCREASE...THOUGH STILL
REMAINING BELOW NORMAL.
THE BEST CHANCE FOR ANY PRECIP...AND NOT EVEN LOOKING THAT GREAT AT
THE MOMENT...IS WITH A WEAK COLD FRONT LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY
MONDAY MORNING. AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH DROPS INTO NEW ENGLAND...A
SHORTWAVE ROUNDING THE BASE MAY BRING ENOUGH FORCING TO AREAS MAINLY
NORTH OF THE NYC METRO AREA TO TRIGGER SOME ISO SHOWERS. SLIGHT
DIFFERENCES IN THE TIMING BETWEEN THE GLOBAL MODELS...BUT GENERALLY
CONSENSUS IS BETWEEN 06Z AND 18Z MONDAY.
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING AND A VERY BROAD...STRONG SURFACE HIGH SET UP
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK...PRODUCING DRY AND QUIET CONDITIONS.
A BRIEF SHOT OF CAA BEHIND THE FRONT MONDAY WILL SEND TEMPS BACK
5-10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. AS THE HIGH SLIDES TO THE EAST OFFSHORE
AND THE RETURN FLOW SETS UP ONCE AGAIN...TEMPS WILL INCREASE FOR THE
LATTER PART OF THE WEEK.
&&

.MARINE...
HAVE EXTENDED THE SCA FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS FOR ANZ 350/353 THROUGH
FRIDAY AFTERNOON. COULD SEE SOME OCCASIONAL GUSTS TO 25 KT BY LATE

WINDS INCREASE TO 10-15 KT WITH GUSTS UP TO 20 KT...WITH MAYBE
SOME OCCASIONAL GUSTS TO 25 KT NEAR SHORE BY LATE FRIDAY
AFTERNOON. ONCE AGAIN CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO WARRANT SCA
AT THIS TIME.
THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR ANY GUSTS TO 25 KT ON ALL WATERS AND
SEAS TO AT LEAST 5 FT FOR ANZ 350/353 TO LINGER INTO FRIDAY NIGHT.
CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO HAVE HEADLINES AT THIS TIME.
SATURDAY-TUESDAY...SUB-SCA CONDITIONS ON ALL WATERS WITH A FAIRLY
WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT RESIDING OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE COMING
WEEK. WINDS INCREASE SLIGHTLY SUNDAY AHEAD OF THE NEXT COLD
FRONT...BUT GUSTS SHOULD NOT EXCEED 20 KTS AND SEAS 4 FT.

.HYDROLOGY...
1/3 TO JUST UNDER 1 INCH OF BASIN AVERAGE QPF IS EXPECTED AHEAD
OF/WITH A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE THROUGH TONIGHT. LOCALLY HIGHER
AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE WITH ANY TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS. THIS MAY
ALSO CAUSE MINOR URBAN/POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING AND POSSIBLY SMALL
STREAM FLOODING AS WELL...AS WELL AS A VERY LOCALIZED FLASH FLOOD
THREAT.
