AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
1118 AM EDT THU SEP 12 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST THIS
AFTERNOON...THEN CROSS THE TRI-STATE TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS IN FOR THE WEEKEND...WITH ANOTHER COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH
TO BEGIN NEXT WEEK. HIGH PRESSURE THEN TAKES HOLD OF THE NORTHEAST
FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
TRICKY FORECAST FOR THIS AFTERNOON WITH MULTIPLE ITEMS IN PLAY.
HAVE A STRONG MARINE LAYER AS EVIDENCED BY STRATUS THAT HAS
DEVELOPED OVER LONG ISLAND/SE CT AND PARTS OF NYC. EXPECT THIS TO
PERSIST INTO AT LEAST EARLY AFTERNOON.
THERE IS THE CONVECTION MOVING FROM NE PA INTO NW/W CENTRAL NJ IN
RESPONSE TO A PASSING WEAK SHORTWAVE - WITH THE QUESTION BEING HOW
WELL WILL THIS HOLD TOGETHER IS IT MOVES INTO THE MARINE LAYER IN
PLACE. NOT REAL SURE RIGHT NOW...BECAUSE DEPTH/EXTENT OF MARINE
LAYER RIGHT NOW WAS UNDER FORECAST BY ALL GUIDANCE...SO TRUST NO
MODEL WITH ITS IMPACT. COULD SEE HOW THE CONVECTION HOLDS TOGETHER
INTO W NE NJ ZONES AND ORANGE COUNTY...BUT ESPECIALLY S PART OF
THE LINE DIES AS IT MOVES INTO E NJ/NYC WHILE PORTION MOVING INTO
THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY HOLDS TOGETHER.
REGARDLESS OF HOW THIS PLAYS OUT...CURRENTLY DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE
MUCH BEHIND THIS...SO UNLESS DEVELOPMENT OCCURS TO OUR W...COULD
END UP BEING DRY AFTER THIS UNTIL EVENING. NOT GOING TO UPDATE THE
FORECAST THAT WAY QUITE YET...BUT IF TRENDS HOLD...COULD SEE
MAKING THAT CHANGE FOR THE EARLY AFTERNOON UPDATE.
BASED ON MARINE LAYER...DID MAKE SOME DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENT IN HIGHS
OVER LONG ISLAND/S NYC. OTHERWISE...USED A BLEND OF MET/MAV
MOS...WITH HIGHS FROM AROUND 80 AT THE COAST...TO THE MID AND
UPPER 80S NYC METRO. THIS REMAINS WELL ABOVE NORMAL.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WITH MODERATE INSTABILITY AND INCREASING
DEEP-LAYER SHEAR WILL LIKELY SEND AN ORGANIZED BAND OF CONVECTION
ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING. NYC/NE NJ/CT/AND LI WILL BE THE
PRIMARY RECIPIENTS AS MUCH OF THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY WILL SEE THE
CONVECTION LATE AFT/EARLY EVE. THE QUESTION IS ALWAYS HOW FAR
EAST WILL THE LINE HOLD TOGETHER. WITH MODERATE INSTABILITY EVEN
DOWN AT THE COAST AND MODEL TIME HEIGHT CROSS SECTIONS POINTING TO
DEEP-LAYERED LIFT...CONVECTION SHOULD BE IN TACT AT THE
COAST...BUT LIKELY AT A WEAKER MAGNITUDE THAN INLAND AREAS.
COLD FRONT CLEARS EASTERN LI/SE CT DURING THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS FRI. USED A BLEND OF THE NAM AND GFS FOR FRONTAL TIMING AS
THE LATTER WAS A BIT FASTER. SOMEWHAT CONCERNED WITH THE STRENGTH
OF THE UPPER TROUGH AND THAT A SLOWER SOLUTION MAY BE PLAUSIBLE.
THE NAM EVEN PRODUCES SOME POST-FRONTAL SHOWERS WITH WAVE
DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE FRONT. THIS COULD ENHANCE RAINFALL AMOUNTS
ACROSS EASTERN AREAS LATE. THIS WILL NEED TO BE CLOSELY WATCHED
IN SUBSEQUENT MODEL RUNS...AS WELL AS VIA REMOTE SENSING.
A GUSTY NW FLOW BEHIND THE FRONT BRINGS IN A DRIER...MORE
SEASONABLE AIR MASS ON FRIDAY.
STAYED CLOSED TO MET/MAV MOS BOTH FOR LOWS THU NIGHT AND HIGHS
FRI. LOWS WILL STILL BE 5 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
RELATIVELY QUIET PERIOD THIS WEEKEND THROUGH NEXT WEEK AFTER THE
BUSY WEATHER OF TODAY AND TONIGHT. 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.
&&
.AVIATION /15Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
HIGH IMPACT AVIATION WEATHER DAY EXPECTED TODAY...
THERE REMAINS A CONCERN THAT TSTMS OVER ERN PA INTO WRN NJ WILL
MIGRATE/EXPAND EWD TOWARDS THE CITY TERMINALS SLIGHTLY EARLIER
THAN ORIGINALLY FCST. HAVE SPED UP TEMPO TIMING ONE HR TO 18Z WITH
THE 15Z AMENDMENTS.
STRATUS DEVELOPING ON LI AND ERN CT. HINTS AT KJFK. EXPECTING ONLY
FEW-SCT ATTM SO NO CIGS BLW VFR.
THIS EVE WILL DEPEND ON HOW FAR E THE CONVECTION IN QUESTION GETS.
IF IT REMAINS W OF THE CITY...THEN TSTMS COULD HOLD OFF TIL
OVERNIGHT WHEN THE MAIN FRONTAL FORCING ARRIVES. FCST STILL
LEANING TOWARDS THE PCPN REACHING THE CITY HOWEVER...SO MAINTAINED
VCSH. CHANCE TSTMS THRU THIS TIME PERIOD.
WIDESPREAD RA WITH EMBEDDED TSTMS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT ATTM. TAFS
WILL LIKELY BE ADJUSTED TO THE MVFR CATEGORY WITH THE 18Z ISSUANCE.
GENERALLY S FLOW BECOMING W THIS EVE AND NW LATE TNGT. ERRATIC
WIND FIELD CAN BE EXPECTED AFT TSTMS ARRIVE.
NY METRO ENHANCED AVIATION WEATHER SUPPORT...

OUTLOOK FOR 12Z FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
.FRIDAY...VFR. NW GUSTS 20-25 KTS.
.SATURDAY...VFR.
.SUNDAY-MONDAY...VFR.
&&
.MARINE...
SEAS SLOWER TO BUILD THAN INITIALLY FORECAST...BUT FOR NOW STILL
EXPECTING TO REACH SCA LEVELS IN ANZ-350/353 AT SOME POINT THIS
AFTERNOON. IF THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN...WILL HAVE TO REASSESS THE SCA
FOR TONIGHT.
A SCA FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS ACROSS THE TWO EASTERNMOST OCEAN
ZONES...FROM FIRE ISLAND INLET TO MONTAUK POINT...REMAINS UP
THROUGH TONIGHT. THIS IS DUE TO A COMBINATION OF LONG PERIOD SWELLS
FROM A DISTANT TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC AND A
STIFF SW FLOW AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THE LATTER OF
WHICH WILL BRING A ROUND OF ORGANIZED CONVECTION THROUGH THE
WATERS TONIGHT.
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...A GUSTY NW FLOW ON FRI WILL PRODUCE WIND
GUSTS CLOSE TO 25 KT. A MARGINAL SCA MAY BE NEEDED. SEAS OF 5 FT
OR GREATER MAY ALSO LINGER ACROSS THE OCEAN WATERS SOUTH OF
MONTAUK.
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD...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
3 FT.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
1/3 TO JUST UNDER 1 INCH OF BASIN AVERAGE QPF IS EXPECTED AHEAD
OF/WITH A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE THIS EVENING/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.
&&
.EQUIPMENT...
DUE TO INTERFERENCE ISSUES WITH THE U.S. COAST GUARD EMERGENCY
BROADCAST CHANNEL...THE NEW YORK CITY NOAA ALL HAZARDS WEATHER
RADIO STATION KWO35 REMAINS OUT OF SERVICE. THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE IS WORKING WITH SEVERAL U.S. GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO
ISOLATE AND RESOLVE THE TECHNICAL PROBLEM.
DURING THIS TIME...THE TRANSMITTER MAY BE RETURNED TO SERVICE
INTERMITTENTLY FOR USE OF THE NOAA ALL HAZARDS WEATHER RADIO
DURING POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS WEATHER SITUATIONS...FOR ROUTINE
WEEKLY TESTS OF THE WARNING SYSTEM...AND TO DETERMINE IF THE
INTERFERENCE ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED.
