AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
642 PM EDT MON JUL 14 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT SLOWLY APPROACHES THE EAST COAST TONIGHT...MOVING
ACROSS THE AREA LATE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS OVER THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. THE HIGH
MOVES EAST SATURDAY AS A FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHES FOR THE
WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM THIS
EVENING.
FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL LATE TUESDAY NIGHT.
CAPE VALUES HAVE INCREASED TO 1500-2000 J/KG...ALONG WITH A LIFTED
INDEX AROUND -3C. 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR VALUES ARE AROUND 30 KT...BUT
WILL INCREASE TO 30-40 KT INTO THIS EVENING. PWATS RANGE FROM
1.75-2.25". SFC TROUGH AND SEVERAL STRONG MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVES WILL
MOVE ACROSS THE REGION THIS EVENING...TOUCHING OFF STRONG TO
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN. MAIN THREAT FROM STORMS WILL
BE THE DAMAGING WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN...AND CANNOT RULE OUT A
TORNADO...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY...NORTHEAST
NJ...AND NYC.
STORMS TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. BY THE
TIME THE STORMS APPROACH EASTERN LONG ISLAND AND EASTERN PORTIONS
OF SOUTHERN CT...THE DYNAMICS FOR SEVERE STORMS WILL HAVE
DIMINISHED...SO THOSE AREAS CAN MAINLY EXPECT HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY
WINDS.
WITH ABUNDANT LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE IN THE AREA...PATCHY FOG WILL
DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT AFTER SHOWERS/STORMS END.
LOWS TONIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 60S ACROSS THE INTERIOR TO
THE LOWER 70S ACROSS NYC AND LONG ISLAND.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
COLD FRONT GETS CLOSER ON TUESDAY. A SIMILAR DAY IN PLACE ON
TUESDAY WITH THE WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS IN PLACE. WITH TEMPS IN
THE 80S AND SFC DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW 70S...CAPE VALUES WILL
INCREASE TO ALMOST 2000 J/KG IN THE AFTERNOON. THE LIFTED INDEX
WILL BE AROUND -4C...0-6 KM BULK SHEAR VALUES WILL ONCE AGAIN
RANGE FROM 30-40 KT...AND PWATS WILL BE AROUND 2".
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON ONCE
AGAIN...WITH HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY...POSSIBLY DAMAGING...WINDS
BEING THE MAIN IMPACT FROM ANY THUNDERSTORMS. STORMS CONTINUE
THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE SFC COLD FRONT AND UPPER TROUGH DIG
THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY. SFC LOW PRES WILL DEVELOP AT THE BASE OF
THE UPPER TROUGH...SOMEWHERE OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES...AND
WILL SLIDE ALONG THE COAST...ENHANCING THE HEAVY RAIN OVER THE
REGION. COLD FRONT SEEMS TO HAVE SLOWED DOWN AS COMPARED TO
PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS...AND THE BULK OF THE ACTIVITY LOOKS TO OCCUR
TUESDAY NIGHT.
THERE IS A MODERATE RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS ON TUESDAY.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE LONG TERM PERIOD STARTS OFF WITH A BROAD UPPER TROUGH AND
CLOSED UPPER LOW ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. THIS
TROUGH WILL BE SLOW TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION...CROSSING THE AREA
ON THURSDAY. MEANWHILE...AT THE SURFACE...A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY. EXPECT SHOWERS...POSSIBLY HEAVY AT
TIMES...TO CONTINUE WEDNESDAY MORNING FOR MOST OF THE
REGION...THEN JUST SOME LEFT OVER SHOWERS EAST OF NYC INTO THE
AFTERNOON. BY EVENING...MOST OF THE SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL COME TO
AN END AS THE FRONT MOVES EAST. THERE COULD BE SOME ISOLATED
THUNDER...HOWEVER WILL LEAVE OUT OF THE FORECAST FOR NOW.
DRIER WEATHER RETURNS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY AS WEAK SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION. ALOFT...THE UPPER TROUGH
WILL LIFT TO THE NORTH...AND THE FLOW FLATTENS. THE DRY WEATHER
CONTINUES INTO FRIDAY WITH THE HIGH OVER THE REGION.
THE HIGH MOVES OFF RATHER QUICKLY FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...
GIVING WAY TO A FRONTAL SYSTEM TO MOVE INTO THE REGION SATURDAY
INTO SUNDAY. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER THE
WEEKEND.
