AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
1256 PM EST SAT FEB 15 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST WILL UNDERGO RAPID
INTENSIFICATION AS IT PASSES TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF LONG ISLAND
THIS EVENING. THE LOW CONTINUES TO DEEPEN INTO SUNDAY AS IT TRACKS
UP INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES. BRIEF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN
MONDAY...WITH MULTIPLE LOWS MOVING THROUGH THE NORTHEAST THROUGH
THE COMING WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
QUICK LOOK AT NEW MODEL RUNS...AND STILL SEE NO REASON TO MAKE ANY
HEADLINE CHANGES. MESOSCALE FEATURES WITH THIS VIGOROUS UPPER
TROUGH/AND SFC LOW WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED. OF COURSE WITH SUCH A
TIGHT PRECIP GRADIENT EXPECTED OVER OUR CWA...ANY SLIGHT SHIFT
WEST OR EAST WILL RESULT IN SNOW ACCUM DIFFERENCES.
BANDING HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE AREA. HIGHER SNOWFALL
RATES HAVE COOLED THE WARM LAYER BETWEEN THE SFC TO ABOUT H900 TO
H875 HPA PER EARLIER ACARS SOUNDINGS.
THIS DEVELOPING STORM STILL LOOKS TO PASS TO THE SOUTH AND EAST
OF LONG ISLAND THIS EVENING. LATEST PRESSURE FALLS RIGHT ALONG THE
40N/70W BENCHMARK AS EXPECTED.
A MODERATE SNOWFALL EVENT IS FORECAST ACROSS THE REGION WITH MOST
LOCATIONS RECEIVING 2 TO 5 INCHES. HOWEVER...EASTERN LI AND SE CT
ARE EXPECTED TO SEE THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS WITH 4 TO 9 INCHES OF
TOTAL SNOWFALL. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE SOME EAST END
LOCATIONS COME IN A FEW INCHES HIGHER...CLOSER TO 10-12 INCHES
WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE.
TEMPS HAVE FALLEN A FEW DEGREES IN ANY HIGHER PRECIP/BANDS. HIGH
TEMPS HAVE LIKELY BEEN REACHED...WITH TEMPS FALLING AND REMAINING
IN THE LOWER 30S.
THE OTHER SIGNIFICANT WEATHER IMPACT WILL BE INCREASING WINDS.
SPEEDS OF 15 TO 20 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 30 MPH ARE ANTICIPATED. WINDS
WILL FURTHER RAMP UP TO 20 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 35 MPH
TONIGHT...HIGHEST EAST. THIS WILL LIKELY CAUSE SOME BLOWING AND
DRIFTING SNOW ISSUES.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
UPPER LOW AND SURFACE LOW TRACK OFF TO THE NE TONIGHT. THIS
SHOULD HAVE ANY SNOW BANDING ACROSS EASTERN SECTIONS COMING TO AN
END. MODERATELY STRONG NW WINDS WILL CONTINUE ON THE BACKSIDE...WITH
15 TO 25 MPH WINDS AND GUSTS TO 30 TO 35 MPH...HIGHEST COAST AND
EAST. A FEW PEAK GUSTS TO 40 MPH POSSIBLE ACROSS FAR EASTERN
AREAS. A SHOT OF CAA WILL HAVE TEMPS DROPPING INTO THE TEENS
INTERIOR AND LOWER 20S COAST...WITH WIND CHILLS SINGLE DIGITS
ABOVE ZERO CITY/COAST.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE LONG TERM WEATHER PATTERN CONSISTS OF AN ALTERNATING TROUGH AND
RIDGE PATTERN WITH GRADUALLY DECREASING AMPLITUDE THROUGH THE
PERIOD. THUS...MERIDIONAL FLOW WILL GRADUALLY TRANSITION TO A
QUASI-ZONAL FLOW. LIKEWISE...THE JET STREAM INITIALLY WILL BE SOUTH
OF THE REGION...ALLOWING FOR COLDER AIR. TEMPERATURES WILL BE WELL
BELOW NORMAL MONDAY WITH THE MODERATION IN TEMPERATURES COMMENCING
MONDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUING THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK. THE JET
WILL BECOME MORE ZONAL GOING THROUGH THE WEEK WHILE SLOWLY MOVING
BACK NORTH. THE RESULT WILL BE A GRADUAL MODERATION OF THE AIR MASS.
MONDAY NIGHT FEATURES LOWS STILL BELOW NORMAL BUT BY NOT AS MUCH AS
THE PREVIOUS NIGHT. TEMPERATURES OVERALL ARE CLOSER TO NORMAL
TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES THEREAFTER
THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY.
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN BEHIND MONDAY. A FRONTAL SYSTEM MOVES
IN LATE MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING...EXITING TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. THIS GIVES WAY TO HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE SOUTH AND WEST
BUILDING IN. HOWEVER...THE HIGH WILL NOT BE THAT STRONG WITH A
SERIES OF LOWS PASSING NORTH AND WEST OF THE REGION MID TO LATE
WEEK. ASSOCIATED WARM AND COLD FRONTS WILL BE MOVING ACROSS DURING
THAT PERIOD.
CHANCE FOR ANY PRECIPITATION WILL BE LATE MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH
TUESDAY MORNING...AND MID TO LATE NEXT WEEK. FOR MONDAY NIGHT
THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING...AMBIENT TEMPERATURES WILL BE COLD ENOUGH
SUCH THAT DESPITE AN ONSHORE FLOW...THE WARM AIR ADVECTION ALOFT
WILL HELP INITIATE PRECIP FORCING WITH SNOW BECOMING LIKELY FOR MUCH
OF THE REGION LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. WITH ENOUGH
WARMING ON THE ONSHORE FLOW...EVENTUALLY PRECIP WILL TRANSITION TO
RAIN BEFORE ENDING LATER TUESDAY MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON. THERE
WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER FEW INCHES OF SNOWFALL ACCOUNTING
FOR MODEL QPF FIELDS.
THE REST OF THE WEEK...MID TO LATE NEXT WEEK...WILL BE MOSTLY RAIN
FOR THE COAST WITH A WINTRY MIX POSSIBLE ACROSS THE INTERIOR. THERE
IS UNCERTAINTY WITH TIMING AND THIS COULD MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE
AMOUNT OF WINTRY PRECIP. MODEL DISAGREEMENT LEADS TO POPS BEING
GENERALLY 25 PERCENT OR LESS...MAKING FOR TIMING AND EXACT PLACEMENT
OF PRECIP LOW CONFIDENCE.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
LOW PRES OFF THE VA COAST WILL TRACK E OF NYC TODAY...AND E OF
CAPE COD TNGT.
POCKETS OF MDT SNOW IMPACTING THE METRO. AS THIS ACTIVITY
CONTINUES...EXPECTS CIGS TO CONTINUE FALLING TO A FEW HUNDRED FT.
THE SNOW WINDS DOWN INVOF THE CITY TERMINALS AFT 00Z...AND ACROSS
ERN TERMINALS AFT 3-5Z.
WINDS WILL RAPIDLY INCREASE THRU THIS EVE AND REMAIN STRONG THRU THE
OVERNIGHT INTO SUN.
TOTAL SNOWFALL 6-9 INCHES AT KGON...4-6 INCHES AT KISP...AND 2-4
INCHES ELSEWHERE.

OF THIS INTENSE OFFSHORE LOW PRESSURE. GALES DIMINISH TO SCA
FORCE WINDS SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
FOR SUNDAY NIGHT...SCA LIKELY ON THE OCEAN WITH OTHER WATERS
GRADUALLY FALLING BELOW SCA. SEAS AROUND SCA CRITERIA LINGER INTO
MONDAY MORNING ON THE OCEAN. THEN...CONDITIONS REMAIN BELOW SCA
THEREAFTER THROUGH MIDWEEK.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
POTENTIAL FOR 1/4 TO 1/2 INCH OF LIQUID EQUIVALENT QPF ACROSS
MOST OF THE CWA...WITH 1/2 TO POSSIBLY UP TO 1 INCH ACROSS FAR
EASTERN PORTIONS.
ONLY NOTABLE WIDESPREAD PRECIP BEYOND THAT IS LATE MONDAY NIGHT
THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING WITH AROUND 0.1 TO 0.4 INCH LIQUID
EQUIVALENT.
