AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
733 AM EST TUE DEC 9 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
A DEEPENING COASTAL LOW OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST THIS MORNING
WILL TRACK NORTH TODAY TO JUST SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND BY THIS
EVENING. THE LOW WILL THEN BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY...BEFORE LIFTING SLOWLY NORTH ACROSS NEW ENGLAND ON
THURSDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN SLOWLY FOR THE WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
FORECAST GENERALLY ON TRACK THIS MORNING. ONLY CHANGE IS TO PULL A
FEW COUNTIES OUT OF THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY WHERE TEMPERATURES
HAVE WARMED ABOVE FREEZING. HAVE REMOVED WESTERN
BERGEN...ROCKLAND...AND NORTHERN WESTCHESTER. A WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY REMAINS UP PORTIONS OF THE FAR INTERIOR ZONES WHERE
TEMPERATURES REMAIN AT OR BELOW FREEZING.
OTHERWISE...A LARGE AREA OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN EXTENDS FROM
WESTERN LI AND THE NYC METRO....ALL THE WAY SOUTH TO THE DELMARVA.
THIS WILL BE THE BEGINNING OF A PROLONGED PERIOD OF MODERATE TO
HEAVY RAINFALL WITH THE EMPHASIS BEING ON THIS MORNING INTO MID
AFTERNOON. MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE TRACK AND
INTENSITY...WITH SOME SUBTLE ISSUES IN THERMO PROFILES AND
RAINFALL AMOUNTS.
RESIDUAL COLD AIR ACROSS THE INTERIOR THIS MORNING WILL RESULT IN
A PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN WITH MOST LOCATIONS FORECAST TO CHANGE
TO ALL RAIN BY MID MORNING. THERE HAVE ALREADY BEEN SEVERAL
REPORTS OF ICING AND ACCIDENTS ACROSS THE REGION. THE POTENTIAL
EXISTS FOR UP TO A TENTH OF AN INCH OF ICE ACCRETION IN THE
ADVISORY AREA.
RAINFALL AMOUNTS STILL LOOK TO BE ON THE ORDER OF 2 TO 3 INCHES
WITH ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS UP TO 4 INCHES. THESE AMOUNTS WERE
ALSO PRECEDED BY 1 TO 2 INCHES A FEW DAYS AGO. A FLOOD WATCH
REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA...PRIMARILY FOR
URBAN/POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING. HOWEVER...FFG GUIDANCE IS LOW ACROSS
NE NJ AND SOME SMALL RIVERS AND STREAMS COULD COME OUT OF THEIR
BANKS.
AS FOR WINDS...STILL LOOKING AT BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS ALONG THE
COAST APPROACHING 50 KT. THE FORECAST UNCERTAINTY ALWAYS RESIDES
IN THE STABILITY OF THIS LAYER AND HOW MUCH DOWNWARD MOMENTUM CAN
BE TRANSPORTED DOWN TO THE SURFACE. AN ISOLATED 50 KT/58 MPH IS
NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION...BUT WIND ADVISORY WINDS ARE MORE LIKELY
WITH GUSTS OF 45 TO 50 MPH. THE MOST LIKELY TIME IS FROM LATE
MORNING INTO EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.
TEMPS WILL GRADUALLY WARM FROM HERE ON OUT WITH HIGHS FORECAST TO
RANGE FROM AROUND 40 IN THE INTERIOR...TO NEAR 50 ACROSS EASTERN
LI/SE CT.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
THE STRONG COASTAL LOW BECOMES NEARLY STATIONARY AROUND LI THIS
EVENING INTO WED...WITH THE LOW BECOMING OCCLUDED AND STACKED ON
WED. THERE WILL LIKELY BE A PROLONGED PERIOD OF LIGHT TO
OCCASIONALLY MODERATE PCPN ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW THROUGH THU.
THERMO PROFILES SUPPORT A TRANSITION OVER TO A SNOW OR A RAIN/SNOW
MIX IN THE INTERIOR TONIGHT WITH POSSIBILITY OF MINOR SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY....SPECIFICALLY
WESTERN ORANGE COUNTY. BOUNDARY LAYER CONDITIONS LOOK WARM ENOUGH
ON WED FOR A TRANSITION BACK TO RAIN OR A MIX NORTH AND WEST OF
NYC. ELSEWHERE...IT LOOKS TO BE MAINLY RAIN WITH A TRANSITION TO
SNOW WED NIGHT. THE 00Z ECMWF IS A BIT COLDER WITH ITS THERMO
PROFILES...BUT ONCE AGAIN THIS APPEARS TO MORE OF BOUNDARY LAYER
ISSUE THAN ANYTHING. THERE IS ALWAYS A CAVEAT AND THAT IS BEING
UNDER THE UPPER LOW WITH ENHANCED LIFT AND VERTICAL COOLING. THIS
WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY IN SUBSEQUENT MODEL CYCLES.
INSTABILITY SNOW/RAIN SHOWERS WILL LIKELY LINGER INTO THU WITH
AREA IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE UPPER LOW.
STAYED BELOW MOS GUIDANCE BY A FEW DEGREES DURING THIS PERIOD WITH
THE ANOMALOUSLY STRONG UPPER LOW.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
UNSETTLED WEATHER COULD REMAIN INTO THE WEEKEND IF THE ECMWF SOLN
IS CORRECT. OTHERWISE...HIGH PRES BUILDS FROM THE WEST WILL DRY
AND SEASONABLE CONDS.LOW PRESSURE BECOMES VERTICALLY STACKED...AND
THEREFORE WILL MOVE SLOWLY NORTH INTO NEW ENGLAND AND SLOWLY
WEAKEN AS IT DOES SO. MODELS DIVERGE IN SOLUTION BEGINNING
THURSDAY NIGHT. THE GFS CONTINUES TO LIFT THE LOW INTO SOUTHERN
ONTARIO...WHILE THE ECMWF PUSHES IT SOUTHEAST INTO THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC. THE END RESULT IS SOMEWHAT THE SAME FOR SENSIBLE
WEATHER...HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD IN FOR FRIDAY...BUT DRY
CONDITIONS DO NOT RETURN UNTIL SATURDAY.
WITH THE LOW IN AND AROUND THE AREA THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...CHANCES
FOR PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE...ALTHOUGH DECREASE...THROUGH THE
PERIOD...BECOMING ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE BY THURSDAY NIGHT. COLDER AIR
WILL WORK INTO THE REGION FOR SNOW TO MIX IN WITH THE RAIN INLAND ON
WEDNESDAY. A CHANGEOVER TO SNOW IS FORECAST EVEN ALONG THE COAST BY
LATE THU INTO FRI MORNING...AND THEN AGAIN FRI NIGHT. ACCUMULATION
ONLY EXPECTED ACROSS INLAND AREAS.
&&
.AVIATION /13Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
LOW PRES OFF HATTERAS WILL TRACK NWD TODAY AND REACH A POINT JUST S
OF LONG ISLAND THIS EVE. THE LOW WILL THEN MEANDER IN THE REGION
THRU WED.
MDT TO HVY RAIN NOW FLOWING INTO THE REGION. THIS WILL EXPAND NEWD
INTO THE REGION TODAY AS THE LOW GETS CLOSER AND INTENSIFIES. MAINLY
IFR THRU THE TAF PERIOD.
ALL RAIN EXCEPT FOR KSWF WHERE THERE WILL BE A PERIOD OF FZRA THIS
MRNG. SOME SLEET MAY MIX IN THRU 14Z. THERE IS A LOW CHC THAT FZRA
LASTS THRU 18Z.
WINDS INTENSIFY THRU 18Z...THEN BEGIN TO DIMINISH THIS EVE. AS THIS
OCCURS...DIRECTION WILL BACK TO THE N. SOME VARIABILITY IS POSSIBLE
KISP AND KGON IF THE LOW TRACKS DIRECTLY OVER THE AREA.

&&
.MARINE...
A RAPIDLY DEEPENING NOR'EASTER WILL BRING GALE CONDITIONS TO MOST OF
THE AREA WATERS...AND GUSTS TO AROUND STORM FORCE ON THE CENTRAL AND
EASTERN OCEAN WATERS TODAY. EXPECT SEAS ON THE OCEAN TO BUILD TO 10
TO 15 FT.
WINDS WILL SUBSIDE QUICKLY TONIGHT AS THE LOW PASSES ACROSS THE
WATERS...ONLY TO PICK UP BY WEDNESDAY AS THE LOW SLOWS DOWN OVER
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
LONG TERM...
STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS IN PLACE FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
MORE SO INTO THURSDAY. WINDS ACROSS THE OCEAN WATERS COULD SEE SOME
GUSTS TO 35 KT ON THURSDAY. WINDS WILL DIMINISH THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY AND SHOULD REMAIN BELOW 25 KT THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WAVES
REMAIN ABOVE 5 FT THROUGH FRIDAY AND COME DOWN BELOW 5 FT FRIDAY
NIGHT. WAVES REMAIN BELOW 5 FT THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
EXPECT RAINFALL AMOUNTS TO AVERAGE 2 TO 3 INCHES WITH LOCALIZED
HIGHER AMOUNTS. THESE AMOUNTS WERE ALSO PRECEDED BY 1 TO 2 INCHES
A FEW DAYS AGO. FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES...BUT THE PROBABILITY OF
RIVER FLOODING IS LOW.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
A COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN PLACE FOR THE SHORES BORDERING
WESTERN LONG ISLAND SOUND FROM COASTAL NEW HAVEN COUNTY ACROSS
NORTHWEST SUFFOLK COUNTY AROUND THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE ON TUESDAY 11
AM - 2 PM.
A COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN PLACE FOR THE SOUTH SHORE BAYS OF
NASSAU AND WESTERN SUFFOLK FOR THIS MORNING'S HIGH TIDE CYCLE BASED
ON EXPECTATION OF AROUND 2 1/2-3 FT SURGE THROUGH INCREASING NE
WINDS THROUGH TIME OF HIGH TIDE AND TIDAL PILING...WHICH WOULD
ECLIPSE MODERATE FLOODING BENCHMARKS.
A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR ALL OTHER COASTAL
LOCATIONS FOR TUESDAYS HIGH TIDE CYCLES.
PERSISTENT NE WINDS WILL BECOME MORE EASTERLY AND CONTINUE
INCREASING THIS MORNING AS THE FETCH OR THE TRAJECTORY OF EAST WINDS
INCREASES CAUSING TIDAL PILING ALONG THE COAST.
TIDAL DEPARTURES OF 1 TO 2 FEET ABOVE ASTRONOMICAL TIDES WILL
GRADUALLY INCREASE TO 2 TO AS MUCH AS 3 1/2 FEET DURING CAUSING
WIDESPREAD MINOR TO MODERATE TIDAL FLOODING ACROSS THE REGION.
WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE DURING TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE
NOR'EASTER MOVES AWAY FROM THE AREA. NO ADDITIONAL WARNINGS ARE
ANTICIPATED TUESDAY NIGHT.
