AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
429 PM EDT FRI JUN 7 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
THE REMNANTS OF ANDREA WILL PASS TO THE SOUTHEAST LATE TONIGHT INTO
SATURDAY MORNING. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD IN THROUGH
SUNDAY. A WARM FRONT THEN SLOWLY APPROACHES FROM THE SOUTHWEST
SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...LIFTING NORTH OF THE TRI-STATE FROM
MONDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. A COLD FRONT THEN SLOWLY
CROSSES THE AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THEN STALLS OUT JUST TO OUR
SOUTH THROUGH FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL EXPECTED TONIGHT AS THE
REMNANTS OF ANDREA APPROACH THE FORECAST AREA...WITH THE STORM/S
CENTER PASSING TO THE SOUTHEAST LATE AT NIGHT.

FOR NOW...HAVE NOT ADDED A MENTION OF THUNDER IN THE GRIDS...HOWEVER
A LITTLE INSTABILITY COULD EXIST...ESPECIALLY IF CLEARING IN
ASSOCIATION WITH A DRY SLOT ON SATELLITE WORKS ITS WAY UP HERE. THIS
WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED.

PLEASE REFER TO THE HYDROLOGY SECTIONS FOR DETAILS ON RAINFALL
AMOUNTS AND THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH...WHICH REMAINS IN EFFECT. FOR
CSTL FLOOD THREATS...PLEASE REFER TO TIDES/CSTL FLOODING SECTION.

THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENT DEVELOPMENT AT THE OCEAN
BEACHES THROUGH THIS EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
ANY RAIN IN ASSOCIATION THE REMNANT CENTER OF ANDREA SHOULD END
EARLY ON...THEN TURNING PARTLY SUNNY FOR THE AFTERNOON. A TRAILING
SHORTWAVE COULD TOUCH OFF A SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM OVER THE NW
ZONES. BASED ON MIXING PROFILES...WENT CLOSER TO THE WARMER NAM MOS
GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS.

WEAK HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO BUILD IN DURING SATURDAY NIGHT WITH
DRY WEATHER. MOS BLEND LOOKED GOOD FOR TEMPERATURES.

THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENT DEVELOPMENT AT THE OCEAN
BEACHES ON SATURDAY AND SATURDAY EVENING.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
DECENT AGREEMENT SUNDAY-MONDAY BETWEEN NAM/GFS/ECMWF/SREF SO
USED A BLEND THROUGH THEN.

MOST AREAS SHOULD BE DRY SUNDAY WITH DEEP LAYERED RIDGING BUILDING
IN. HOWEVER...APPEARS COULD HAVE ENOUGH INSTABILITY OVER FAR NW
ZONES TO WARRANT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR TSRA. USED A BLEND OF
MAV/MET GUIDANCE WITH NAM 2-METER TEMPERATURES AND A MIX DOWN FROM
900 HPA NEAR SHORE AND 875 HPA INLAND FOR HIGHS...WITH VALUES AROUND
5 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.

CONTINUE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS OVER NW ZONES INTO THE EVENING...THEN
INCREASE POPS OVERNIGHT OVER W ZONES TO SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE IN
RESPONSE TO 700-500 HPA SHORTWAVE MOVING IN UNDER THE RIDGE. FOR LOWS
USED A BLEND OF MAV/MET GUIDANCE WITH NAM 2-METER TEMPERATURES WITH
VALUES AROUND 5 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.

INCREASE POPS TO LIKELY MONDAY THROUGHOUT IN RESPONSE TO INCREASING
DIFLUENCE ALOFT...AND A PASSING 700-500 HPA SHORTWAVE. ALSO HAVE A
CHANCE OF THUNDER WITH MODEST CAPE...THE REGION IN THE RIGHT REAR
QUADRANT OF A DEPARTING 80+ KT UPPER JET AND A 40-45 KT 500 HPA JET
CROSSING THE AREA. FOR HIGHS MONDAY USED A BLEND OF MEX/MEX ENSEMBLE
MEAN/ECE GUIDANCE WITH NAM 2-METER TEMPERATURES AND A MIX DOWN FROM
975 HPA NEAR SHORE AND 950 HPA INLAND. EXPECT VALUES TO BE NEAR
NORMAL.

WHILE THE GFS AND ECMWF DIFFER OVER THE DETAILS...THEY BOTH SHOW A
MEAN TROUGH BUILDING OVER THE EASTERN U.S. FROM TUESDAY THROUGH
FRIDAY. AS A RESULT USED A GFS/ECMWF BLEND FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE
EXTENDED...WEIGHED TOWARD THE ECMWF GIVEN ITS HISTORICAL BETTER
PERFORMANCE IN THIS TIME FRAME.

MID-UPPER LEVEL TROUGH APPROACHES MONDAY NIGHT...THEN MOVES INTO THE
AREA TUESDAY...FOLLOWED BY A CUTOFF LOW BUILDING IN TO THE N TUESDAY
NIGHT. CARRY LIKELY POPS FOR SHRA MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY WITH A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDER MONDAY NIGHT AND CHANCE POPS FOR THUNDER
TUESDAY WITH THE SURFACE COLD FRONT. DECREASE POPS TO CHANCE TUESDAY
NIGHT WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THUNDER AS MAIN FORCING WILL BE TO
THE N.

CONTINUE MAINLY CHANCE POPS WEDNESDAY AS TROUGHING SETTLES INTO THE
NE AND COLD FRONT SLOWLY PUSHES TO S WITH SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDER.
THEN GO WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS WEDNESDAY NIGHT-FRIDAY WITH UPPER
TROUGH OVER THE AREA.

FOR TEMPERATURES MONDAY NIGHT-FRIDAY USED A BLEND OF MEX/MEX
ENSEMBLE MEAN/ECE/WPC GUIDANCE. LOWS SHOULD RUN SLIGHTLY ABOVE
NORMAL AND HIGHS NEAR NORMAL THROUGH THIS TIME FRAME.

.MARINE...
BASED ON LATEST OBS...HAVE ADDED THE REMAINDER OF OUR WATERS TO THE
SCA THIS EVENING. WINDS ESPECIALLY ON THE SOUND ARE CURRENTLY
STRONGER THAN PREVIOUSLY FORECAST WITH PERHAPS SOME FUNNELING
EFFECT. SCA FOR THE OCEAN GOES THROUGH THE DAY ON SATURDAY NIGHT...
AND MIGHT NEED TO BE EXTENDED INTO A PORTION OF SUNDAY MORNING AS
SWELLS SUBSIDE. COULD BE OCCASIONAL GUSTS TO 35 KT ON THE EASTERN
OCEAN WATERS TONIGHT WITH THE APPROACH OF ANDREA/S REMNANTS. FOR THE
REST OF THE WATERS...SCA GOES THROUGH LATE MORNING SATURDAY.

WINDS WILL BE 15 KT OR LESS OVER THE COASTAL OCEAN ZONES SUNDAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY AND 10 KT OR LESS OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE WATERS.

SCA LEVEL SEAS COULD LINGER OVER THE EASTERN 2 COASTAL OCEAN ZONES
INTO SUNDAY...THEN A PERSISTENT SOUTHERLY FLOW COUPLED WITH A
DEVELOPING SOUTHERLY SWELL COULD RESULT IN SCA LEVEL SEAS RETURNING
TO THE 2 EASTERN COASTAL OCEAN ZONES TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
RAINFALL AMOUNTS SO FAR HAVE RANGED FROM ROUGHLY A HALF OF AN INCH
OVER EASTERNMOST AREAS...TO ALMOST 2 INCHES IN THE CITY AND POINTS
TO THE WEST. EXPECTING ANOTHER 2.50 TO 3.50 INCHES OF RAINFALL FROM
THE REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. THE
HEAVIEST OF THE RAIN SHOULD BE INTO THIS EVENING AND INTO PART OF
THE LATE NIGHT HOURS BEFORE TAPERING OFF BY DAYBREAK FOR MOST OF THE
AREA.

THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL REMAIN POSTED THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY
AFTERNOON TO ALLOW RIVERS AND STREAMS TO RECEDE. LARGE STEM RIVERS
SHOULD STAY BELOW THEIR BANKS...BUT SOME OF THE SMALLER RIVERS AND
STREAMS MAY REACH BANK FULL. THE WATCH COULD EVENTUALLY BE SHORTENED
TO LAST ONLY THROUGH TONIGHT FOR THE URBAN AREAS.

FOR DETAILS ON SPECIFIC AREA RIVERS AND LAKES...INCLUDING
OBSERVED AND FORECAST RIVER STAGES AND LAKE ELEVATIONS...PLEASE
VISIT THE ADVANCED HYDROLOGIC PREDICTION SERVICE /AHPS/ GRAPHS ON
OUR WEBSITE.

LITTLE IF ANY PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED SUNDAY. THERE IS THE
POTENTIAL FOR 3/4 OF AN INCH TO 1 1/2 INCHES OF QPF...WITH LOCALLY
HIGHER AMOUNTS...FROM SUNDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. GIVEN RECENT
RAINFALL...THIS WILL PRODUCE AT LEAST MINOR FLOODING OF POOR
DRAINAGE/URBAN AREAS IN LOCATIONS RECEIVING LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
A NEW MOON EARLY SATURDAY WILL RESULT IN SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN
NORMAL ASTRONOMICAL TIDES. THE MAIN TIDE CYCLE OF CONCERN WOULD BE
THIS EVENING WITH THE APPROACH OF THE REMNANTS OF ANDREA. IT LOOKS
LIKE 1 TO 2 FT OF SURGE IS NEEDED ON TOP OF ASTRONOMICAL TIDE
LEVELS FOR MINOR CSTL FLOODING BENCHMARKS TO BE MET. LATEST GUIDANCE
BLEND HAS INCREASED THE FORECAST SURGE TO BE JUST SHY OF MINOR
FLOODING BENCHMARKS. TAKING THIS INTO CONSIDERATION WITH NHC STORM
SURGE PROBABILITIES OF 2 FT...WILL LEAVE THE CURRENT COASTAL FLOOD
ADVISORY AS IS...AS MINOR COASTAL FLOODING IS EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF
OUR COASTAL ZONES DURING THE HIGH TIDE CYCLE FOR TONIGHT.

IN NY HARBOR...MAIN CONCERN IS FOR THE LOWER HARBOR...STATEN ISLAND
AND NJ ZONES. S SHORE BAYS OF LI WILL BE SUSCEPTIBLE AS SWELL
INCREASES. SRLY FLOW MAY RESULT IN CSTL FLOODING FOR ALL OF CSTL
CT...INCLUDING SE ZONES (WHICH IS AN IDEAL WIND DIRECTION FOR NEW
LONDON COUNTY).

IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT IF ANY MINOR FLOODING THRESHOLDS ARE
MET...THAT COMBINED WITH ANY ONGOING FRESHWATER FLOODING COULD
RESULT IN A MORE WIDESPREAD MINOR FLOODING EVENT. WILL ISSUE A
COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY FOR THIS HIGH TIDE CYCLE TONIGHT.

WINDS THEN SHIFT OFFSHORE BY DAYBREAK ON SATURDAY. COULD BE SOME
SURGE LEFTOVER THAT WILL HAVE NOT DRAINED OUT FOR THE SATURDAY
MORNING/EARLY AFTN HIGH TIDE CYCLE...BUT THINKING AT THIS TIME IS
THAT COASTAL FLOODING WILL NOT BE LIKELY.
