AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
424 AM EST MON FEB 3 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE EMERGES OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST THIS
MORNING...THEN TRACKS SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND THIS AFTERNOON. HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST TONIGHT AND TUESDAY. THERE IS
THE POTENTIAL FOR THREE WINTER STORMS TO IMPACT THE AREA TUESDAY
NIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
STILL ON TRACK FOR WARNING LEVEL SNOWS ACROSS LONG ISLAND/NYC AND
S PORTIONS OF NE NJ...WITH ADVISORY LEVEL SNOWS ELSEWHERE.
AT 8Z THE SURFACE LOW WAS LOCATED ALONG THE BORDER OF NE TN/NW NC
WITH THE SUPPORTING 700-500 HPA SHORTWAVE OVER THE MID MS RIVER
VALLEY. THE LOW LIFTS NORTHEAST WITH THE SHORTWAVE...EMBEDDED IN
SW FLOW ALOFT. THE RESULT WILL BE A QUICK MOVING SYSTEM THAT DOES
NOT DEEPEN MUCH IF AT ALL...AS IT TRACKS TOWARDS A POSITION ABOUT
125 MILES S OF THE 40N/70W BENCH MARK BY LATE AFTERNOON.
STILL HAVE A WARM BOUNDARY LAYER ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION...SO
WILL LIKELY START AS A LIGHT RAIN/SNOW MIX AT MOST LOCATIONS EARLY
THIS MORNING. HOWEVER...ALL GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT MODERATE TO
HEAVY SNOWFALL BLOSSOMS OVER MOST OF THE TRI-STATE FROM
6-8AM...EXCEPT 8-10 AM FAR N INTERIOR. COLUMN COOLING WITH THE
HEAVIER PRECIPITATION WILL RESULT IN A NEAR ISOTHERMAL LAYER
AROUND FREEZING...THAT GRADUALLY COOLS THROUGH THE DAY ON LOW
LEVEL N FLOW...AND WET BULB TEMPERATURES GENERALLY JUST BELOW
FREEZING IN THE LOW LEVELS.
STILL HAVE SOME UNCERTAINTY ON QPF...BUT THE RANGE OF DIFFERENCE
HAS DECREASED. THE NAM - BOTH 00 AND 06Z RUNS ARE THE
WETTEST...WHILE THE GFS IS THE DRIEST. THE ECMWF IS FAIRLY CLOSE
TO THE NAM WHILE THE CMC AND SREF ARE CLOSER TO THE GFS. SEE THE
HYDRO SECTION FOR DETAILS ON QPF AMOUNTS.
TAKING AN AVERAGE FOR QPF...AND USING SNOW RATIO BASED ON SURFACE
TEMPERATURES...STILL ON TRACK FOR A 5-8 INCH SNOWFALL...WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE OVER THE WARNING AREA AND A 3-6
INCH SNOW OVER THE ADVISORY AREA. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT IF THE
WETTER NAM/ECMWF END UP VERIFYING...WILL NEED TO EXPAND THE WARNING
TO THE ENTIRE CWA...AND UP AMOUNTS TO 5-10" THROUGHOUT - WITH
LOCALIZED AMOUNTS TO 12 INCHES POSSIBLE ACROSS NYC/LONG ISLAND.
THIS IS THE MOST LIKELY WORSE CASE SCENARIO FOR THIS STORM.
HIGHS TODAY GENERALLY OCCURRED EARLY THIS MORNING. TEMPERATURES
THIS MORNING SHOULD FALL TO AT OR NEAR THE WET BULB TEMPERATURE AS
THE MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW BEGINS...THEN REMAIN STEADY OR SLOWLY
FALL THROUGH THE DAY.
THE SNOW WILL BEGIN TO TAPER OFF FROM NW TO SE THIS AFTERNOON.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
WHILE THERE COULD BE SOME LINGERING LIGHT SNOW OVER FAR E PORTIONS
EARLY THIS EVENING...SHOULD QUICKLY DRY AND CLEAR OUT THIS EVENING
AS WEAK RIDGING BUILDS IN TONIGHT AND TUESDAY.
FOR LOWS TONIGHT TOOK THE LOWEST VALUE OF NAM 2-METER TEMPERATURE
OR MAV AND MET GUIDANCE TO REFLECT THE IMPACT OF SNOW COVER AND
LIGHT WINDS. HAVE SOME CONCERN THAT LOWS MIGHT END UP EVEN COLDER
THAN FORECAST...POTENTIALLY BY 5-10 DEGREES AT NORMALLY COLDER
LOCATIONS. HOWEVER CONFIDENCE IN FULL CLEARING AND WINDS FALLING
OFF TO NEAR CALM IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO GO THAT COLD AT THIS TIME.
LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE AROUND 5 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.
FOR HIGHS TUESDAY USED A BLEND OF MIXING DOWN FROM 1000-950 HPA
FROM LONG ISLAND TO THE INTERIOR PER BUFKIT SOUNDINGS...WITH NAM
2-METER TEMPERATURES AND MAV/MET GUIDANCE. EXPECT VALUES TO BE
AROUND 5 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SHORTWAVE OVER SOCAL WILL TRAVERSE THE COUNTRY AND REACH THE CWA TUN
NIGHT AND WED. THE 00Z CLUSTERING OF THE MODEL DATA SUGGESTS A
ROUGHLY 1000 LOW WILL PASS IN THE VICINITY OF THE BENCHMARK 18Z
WED. THIS TRACK WOULD KEEP THE WARM SECTOR S OF LI. WITH WAA ALOFT
AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COASTAL FRONT ON ELY FLOW...A SIGNIFICANT
SNOW AND ICE STORM PROBABLE AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE COASTS. A
WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL OF THE CWA EXCEPT CENTRAL/ERN LI.
AREAS IN THE TRANSITION ZONE ARE LIKELY TO SEE ICE ACCRETION IN
EXCESS OF TWO TENTHS OF AN INCH...WITH SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ALONG THE
NRN PERIPHERY OF THE CWA OVER 8 INCHES.
FAIR WX FOLLOWS THROUGH FRI.
TWO FEATURES TO WATCH OVER THE WEEKEND. THE FIRST PIECE OF ENERGY
APPEARS TO EMERGE FROM A BAROCLINIC ZONE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN
CONUS. THE ECMWF HAS BEEN SOMEWHAT CONSISTENT IN AT LEAST BRUSHING
THE CWA...WHEREAS THE GFS HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY SUPPRESSED. HAVE
SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE AND WILL CONTINUE THE CHANCE POPS IN THE
FCST.
THE THIRD SYSTEM IS LATE IN THE WEEKEND OR EARLY NEXT WEEK. THERE
HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT SIGNAL IN THE MODELS REGARDING THIS STORM.
EVEN THE 18Z DGEX HAS LOW PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN CONUS 6Z
SUN...HANGING OUT WITH THE 00Z ECMWF AND GFS. TIMING IS TRENDING
LATER...SO IMPACTS MAY NOT ARRIVE TIL SUN NIGHT. MAINTAINED LOW
CHANCES SUN...AS WELL AS THE 50 POP SUN NIGHT. DESPITE THE TIMING
AND TRACK DIFFERENCES...THE LOW SHOULD BE A DEEP ONE. THE GENERAL
MODEL CONSENSUS IS 980S...BUT SOME OF THE ENSEMBLE MEMBERS ARE IN
THE 970S S OF LI.
&&
.AVIATION /09Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
...HIGH IMPACT SNOW EVENT TODAY...
COLDER AIR CONTINUES TO SLOWLY FILTER IN FROM THE NORTH. RAIN IS
STILL OCCURRING WHERE IT IS PRECIPITATING...HOWEVER EXPECT THE
CHANGEOVER TO SNOW BETWEEN 09Z AND 12Z FROM N TO S. LOW-END VFR OR
MVFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL DURING THIS TIME. KSWF WILL LIKELY
START AS -SN ONCE THE PRECIPITATION MOVES IN.
A RAPID DETERIORATION TO LIFR CONDITIONS IN SNOW...WITH SNOWFALL
RATES OF ABOUT AN INCH PER HOUR AND OCCASIONALLY HIGHER...SHOULD
THEN TAKE PLACE IN NYC METRO DURING THE MORNING PUSH...AND CONTINUE
UNTIL ABOUT MIDDAY. THESE CONDITIONS SHOULD ARRIVE AT THE LONG
ISLAND/CT TERMINALS ABOUT 1-2 HR LATER.
RUNWAY ACCUMULATIONS OF 4-6 INCHES IS EXPECTED AT CT TERMINALS AND
2-4 INCHES AT KSWF. LOCALIZED AMOUNTS OF UP TO 2 INCHES MORE IS
POSSIBLE. SEE COMMENTS BELOW FOR NYC METRO/LI TERMINALS.
OCNL LIGHT SNOW WITH IFR CONDITIONS SHOULD THEN CONTINUE INTO THE
AFTERNOON...AND END TOWARD EVENING. LEFTOVER MVFR CIGS SHOULD
LAST A LITTLE LONGER INTO THE EVENING.
MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE ON SUSTAINED WINDS. OCNL GUSTS 15-20KT
ARE POSSIBLE JUST BEFORE SNOW PICKS UP IN INTENSITY THIS
MORNING...AND AGAIN LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING AS
SNOW LIGHTENS.

THESE LEVELS.
AROUND AN INCH OF LIQUID EQUIVALENT IS EXPECTED TUE NIGHT THROUGH
WED. SOME MINOR URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE

SNOW IS PRIMARILY EXPECTED.
ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION EVENT IS POSSIBLE NEXT WEEKEND.
