AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
235 PM EDT THU JUL 3 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST TODAY AND SLOWLY MOVES
ACROSS THE REGION LATE TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. HURRICANE
ARTHUR IS THEN FORECAST TO PASS SOUTH AND EAST OF LONG ISLAND
FRIDAY NIGHT. SEE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER ADVISORIES FOR
DETAILS. HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS FOR THE WEEKEND...BEFORE A SERIES
OF WEAK FRONTS AFFECT THE REGION EARLY INTO MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 391 IN EFFECT UNTIL 02Z FOR LOWER HUDSON
VALLEY...NE NEW JERSEY...NEW YORK CITY...WESTERN LONG ISLAND AND
SOUTHWESTERN CONNECTICUT.

LATEST SPC MESOANALYSIS DEPICTS INSTABILITY INCREASING WITH
DAYTIME HEATING. SBCAPE BETWEEN 3000 AND 4000 J/KG ALONG AND WEST
OF THE HUDSON RIVER. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS UPPER LEVEL ENERGY
MOVING OVER THE OHIO VALLEY. THIS WILL COMBINE WITH A SLOW MOVING
COLD FRONT ALONG WITH UNSTABLE AIR TO PROMOTE DEVELOPMENT OF
THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING...SOME OF WHICH WILL BECOME SEVERE WITH
DAMAGING WINDS. HIGHEST LIKLIHOOD OF SEVERE WEATHER IS ALONG AND
WEST OF THE HUDSON RIVER.

THE OTHER CONCERN IS THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOOING ACROSS
NYC...NE NJ...AND LOWER HUDSON VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH
FRIDAY MORNING DUE TO THE HIGH WATER CONTENT OF THE AIRMASS.

THE INTENSITY OF THE STORMS WILL DIMINISH AFTER MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT...BUT WITH THE FRONT BEGINNING TO INTERACT WITH
APPROACHING HURRICANE ARTHUR...CAN EXPECT SHOWERS INTO DAYBREAK
FRIDAY. ANY SHOWER OVERNIGHT COULD BE HEAVY DUE TO THE CONTINUED
HIGH WATER CONTENT IN THE ATMOSPHERE.

THE COLD FRONT SLOWLY MOVES ACROSS THE REGION LATE TONIGHT AND
SHOULD BE LOCATED JUST WEST OF NYC BY DAYBREAK.

HIGHS TODAY WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S...AND NEAR 90 ACROSS
NYC AND NE NJ. LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S.
EXPECTING A HEAT INDEX RIGHT AROUND 95 FOR SEVERAL HOURS THIS
AFTERNOON IN NYC. HEAT ADVISORY REMAINS UP FOR THE 5 BOROUGHS OF
NYC BECAUSE THIS WILL BE THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE DAY WHERE THE HEAT
INDEX TOPS 95.

THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS FOR NYC AND WESTERN LONG
ISLAND BEACHES TODAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY/...
BASED ON NHC OFFICIAL FORECAST...HURRICANE ARTHUR WILL GRADUALLY
ACCELERATE NE FROM CAPE HATTERAS ON FRIDAY..TOWARDS THE 40/70
BENCHMARK BY FRIDAY EVENING. WITH THE COLD FRONT ACROSS EASTERN
ZONES...MOISTURE FROM ARTHER WILL INTERACT WITH THIS
FRONT...KEEPING SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST FOR EASTERN CT AND EASTERN
LONG ISLAND THROUGH THE DAY FRIDAY. RAIN MAY BE HEAVY AT TIMES DUE
TO THIS TROPICAL INTERACTION.

850 MB TEMPS WILL DROP TO 13-15 C...AND WITH ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER
OVER THE REGION...CAN EXPECT A MUCH COOLER DAY WITH HIGHS IN THE
UPPER 70S TO NEAR 80.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
HIGH SURF AND DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS ARE LIKELY ON FRIDAY NIGHT
THROUGH SATURDAY...

GLOBAL MODELS CONTINUE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT AT THE START OF THE
LONG TERM WITH AN UPPER TROUGH...ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT...AND ARTHUR
EXITING TO THE EAST OF THE AREA BY SATURDAY MORNING. ZONAL UPPER
FLOW DEVELOPING FOR THE WEEKEND.

SUNNY...DRY...AND SEASONABLY WARM CONDITIONS EXPECTED ON SATURDAY ON
A GUSTY OFFSHORE FLOW AS BROAD SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS BUILDING
IN FROM THE WEST. HIGH SURF AND DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS ARE LIKELY ON
SATURDAY AS LARGE SWELLS FROM ARTHUR AFFECT THE SHORELINE.

DECENT RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDS SAT NIGHT UNDER HIGH PRESSURE
SHOULD HAVE LOW TEMPS DROPPING TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL VALUES.
MOSTLY SUNNY...DRY AND SEASONABLY WARM CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO END THE
HOLIDAY WEEKEND.

MODELS IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH A GRADUAL TRANSITION FROM ZONAL
FLOW TO MEAN TROUGHING ACROSS THE NE FOR EARLY TO MID WEEK. AT THE
SURFACE...HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OFFSHORE WITH AN INCREASINGLY WARM AND
HUMID AIRMASS WORKING INTO THE REGION DURING THIS TIME. TEMPS WARM
BACK UP STARTING ON MON AND REMAIN IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 80S
THROUGH WED. OVERNIGHT LOWS ALSO STAY WARM AND INCREASE THROUGH THE
WEEK WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF
THE WEEK.

AT THE SAME TIME...A SERIES OF WEAK SHORTWAVES IN THE UPPER FLOW
WILL HAVE A SERIES OF WEAK FRONTS/TROUGHS CROSSING THROUGH THE
REGION DURING THE PERIOD...BRINGING CHANCES FOR MAINLY DIURNAL
AFT/EVE CONVECTION MON THROUGH WED. THE BEST OVERALL CHANCE FOR
PRECIP DURING THIS PERIOD WILL LIKELY BE FROM NYC AND POINTS
N&W...BUT WITH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY LINGERING OVER REGION MON NIGHT
INTO TUE...ALL AREAS HAVE A CHANCE OF SEEING CONVECTION AT THAT
TIME.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A COLD FRONT OVER PA APPROACHES TNGT...AND PASSES SLOWLY THRU THE
REGION FRI.

TSTMS BEGINNING TO FIRE W OF THE TERMINALS. COVERAGE AND INTENSITY
WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE THRU THE AFTN. THE BEST TIMING FOR

SCA CONDS ARE LIKELY ACROSS THE EASTERN WATERS WITH A LOW
PROBABILITY OF TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS ACROSS THESES WATERS
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING AS ARTHUR MAKES ITS CLOSEST
PASS. SCA GUSTS POSSIBLE ELSEWHERE.

MORE CERTAIN IS ROUGH SEAS ARE LIKELY ACROSS ALL OCEAN WATERS WITH 8
TO 12 FT S/SE SWELLS AFFECTING THE WATERS LATE FRI INTO FRI
NIGHT...AND SLOWLY SUBSIDING THROUGH SATURDAY. THIS WILL CAUSE
DANGEROUS CONDITIONS AROUND OCEAN INLETS FOR BOATING INTERESTS LATE

HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY IN CONVECTION. FLASH
FLOODING OF URBANIZED AREAS IS POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY WEST OF
