AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
1101 PM EDT WED APR 30 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH LATE TONIGHT...FOLLOWED BY A WEAK
COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING. A WEAK TROUGH OF
LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP OVER THE AREA ON FRIDAY. A COLD FRONT
WILL MOVE TOWARDS THE AREA ON SATURDAY AND PASS THROUGH SUNDAY
MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS OVER THE AREA THROUGH EARLY
NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
OVERALL FORECAST REMAINS ON TRACK...WITH ADJUSTMENTS MAINLY BEING
TO ADJUST QPF TOTALS TO ACCOUNT FOR RAINFALL TOTALS ALREADY
RECEIVED AS OF LATE THIS EVENING. PLEASE REFER TO HYDRO SECTION
FOR MORE DETAILS. FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THE NIGHT
WITH ADVISORIES AND WARNINGS CURRENTLY IN EFFECT ACROSS THE TRI
STATE AREA. OTHERWISE...WARM FRONT STILL SITUATED SOUTH OF THE
AREA...WITH WIDESPREAD RAIN PUSHING TO THE NORTH. HAVE REMOVED
MENTION OF THUNDER THROUGH EARLY MORNING HOURS...WITH THE BETTER
CONVECTION POTENTIAL LOOKING TO BE AFTER 12Z THURSDAY.
WE WILL HAVE A LARGE VERTICAL DEPTH OF MERIDIONAL FLOW...WITH
MOISTURE TRANSPORT FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO. THIS WILL ALSO HELP
WITH TRAINING OF CELLS. THERE IS A SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST ORIENTED
UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK MOVING IN LATE TONIGHT. PRECIPITABLE WATERS
AROUND 1.5 INCHES TONIGHT WHICH IS WELL ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME
OF YEAR.
LOWS WERE A COMBO OF NAM12...GMOS...AND MAV. THESE LOWS WILL
LIKELY BE ESTABLISHED IN THE EVENING WITH RISING TEMPERATURES
EXPECTED LATER TONIGHT AS THE WARM FRONT MOVES IN LATE AT NIGHT.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
WARM FRONT EXPECTED TO CLEAR THE REGION THURSDAY MORNING. WITH
WARMING TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS...INSTABILITY INCREASES SO
SCATTERED COVERAGE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL STILL BE EXPECTED ALONG
WITH THE HEAVY SHOWERS.
THESE TAPER OFF IN THE AFTERNOON BEHIND A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH AHEAD
OF THE COLD FRONT AS DRIER AIR ENTERS THE BOUNDARY LAYER. THE COLD
FRONT APPROACHES TOWARDS EARLY EVENING AS UPPER LEVEL JET
INCREASES...INCREASING STEERING LOW.
PRECIPITABLE WATERS DECREASE A FEW TENTHS BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON
AND DECREASE MORE NORTH AND WEST OF NYC. FORECAST REGION IS BELOW
1 INCH PRECIPITABLE WATER BY EARLY THURSDAY EVENING.
SAME BLEND OF NAM12...GMOS AND MAV USED FOR HIGHS THU AND LOWS THU
NIGHT. LOWS WILL STILL BE MILD BEHIND THE COLD FRONT THU NIGHT
WITH A WESTERLY FLOW BECOMING ESTABLISHED.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE H5 FLOW BEGINS WITH A DEEP TROUGH EXTENDING FROM THE GREAT
LAKES THROUGH THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WITH RIDGING OUT WEST AND A
CUTOFF LOW PRES SYSTEM OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC MOVING TOWARDS THE
PAC NW. THE JET STREAM WILL LIFT NORTH OVER THE WEEKEND WITH THE
STORM TRACK CONFINED TO THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE US. A DEEP TROUGH
WILL DEVELOP OUT WEST AS THE CUTOFF MOVES ONSHORE EARLY NEXT
WEEK...WITH AN AMPLIFIED PATTERN REDEVELOPING BY THE MIDDLE OF THE
WEEK ACROSS THE CONUS.
AT THE SFC...A TROUGH OF LOW PRES WILL DEVELOP OVER THE AREA ON FRI
AS A SHORTWAVE PASSES TO THE N. ISOLD SHOWERS MAY DEVELOP AS A
RESULT. SEVERAL IMPULSES EMBEDDED IN THE UPPER FLOW WILL MOVE ACROSS
THE AREA FRI NIGHT THROUGH SUN MORNING RESULTING IN THE POTENTIAL
FOR ISOLD TO SCT SHOWERS. THE BEST CHANCE WILL BE LATE SAT NIGHT INTO
SUN WITH A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE THEREFORE HAVE HIGHEST POPS DURING
THIS TIME PERIOD. THE LOW ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FRONT PASSES WELL TO
OUR N...BUT WILL INTENSIFY AS IT MOVES ACROSS AND OFF THE NORTHERN
NEW ENGLAND COAST SUN NIGHT/MON. MEANWHILE...HIGH PRES WILL BE
BUILDING IN FROM THE W. THIS WILL RESULT IN A TIGHTENING PRES
GRADIENT WITH BREEZY CONDITIONS DEVELOPING. AS THE SYSTEM MOVES
OUT TO SEA MON NIGHT THE GRADIENT RELAXES WITH WINDS/GUSTS
DIMINISHING.
DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD WITH THE HIGH BUILDING OVERHEAD. ONE THING TO NOTE IS THAT
THE GFS IS INDICATING AN SHORTWAVE EMBEDDED IN THE NW FLOW ALOFT
WITH THE PRECIP SHIELD BRUSHING THE SW PORTION OF THE CWA TUE EVE.
THIS IS THE ONLY MODEL INDICATING THIS...THEREFORE HAVE
DISREGARDED ITS SOLN AND KEPT THINGS DRY.
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE NEAR NORMAL LEVELS THROUGH THE
FORECAST PERIOD.
&&
.AVIATION /03Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A WARM FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE S INTO THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS...THEN LIFTS TO THE N EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. A COLD FRONT
THEN MOVES THROUGH THE TRI-STATE LATE THURSDAY.
MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS BECOMING IFR THROUGHOUT BY AROUND MIDNIGHT.
LIFR OR LOWER POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY BEHIND THE WARM
FRONT...WHERE DENSE FOG IS POSSIBLE. FOR NOW KEPT FOG IN TEMPO
GROUP W/ 1/2SM VISIBILITIES...STARTING AROUND 9Z AT SOUTHERN
TERMINALS. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF VISIBILITIES END UP 1/4 MILE OR
LESS - ESPECIALLY AT COASTAL TERMINALS. TIMING OF ANY FOG WOULD
BE FOR AT LEAST PART...IF NOT ALL OF THE MORNING PUSH. CONDITIONS
THEN IMPROVE TO MVFR BY AROUND MID MORNING THEN TO VFR BY MIDDAY-
EARLY AFTERNOON.
LLWS ALL TERMINALS BUT KSWF. LLWS COMES TO AN END AROUND 12Z.
BEFORE THEN...WINDS SLOWLY VEER FROM NE-E TO SE THEN S. AFTER 12Z
WINDS CONTINUE TO VEER TO SW THEN WSW/W. COULD SEE SOME GUSTY
WINDS UP TO 20-25KT AT COASTAL TERMINALS EARLY THIS EVENING...THEN
SPEEDS GRADUALLY DIMINISH THROUGH THE NIGHT. WIND SPEEDS THURSDAY
GENERALLY AROUND 10 KT...WITH SOME MAINLY OCCASIONAL GUSTS
15-20KT POSSIBLE IN THE AFTERNOON.
IN ADDITION...HAVE THE POSSIBILITY FOR AN ISOLATED RUMBLE OF
THUNDER OVERNIGHT/EARLY MORNING HOURS AS WELL. CONFIDENCE IN THIS
IS TOO LOW AT ANY GIVEN LOCATION TO PLACE IN TAFS.
.OUTLOOK FOR 00Z FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
.THURSDAY NIGHT...VFR.
.FRIDAY-SATURDAY...MAINLY VFR. MVFR POSSIBLE IN ANY ISOLD -SHRA.
SW-W WIND G20KT POSSIBLE DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS EACH DAY.
.SATURDAY NIGHT...VFR.

&&
.MARINE...
WINDS AND SEAS FORECAST REMAINS ON TRACK FOR LATE THIS EVENING
WITH SCA CONDITIONS CONTINUING ON ALL WATERS THROUGH THU. SCA
WINDS MAY BECOME MORE MARGINAL DURING DAY THU ON WATERS OTHER THAN
THE OCEAN. OCEAN WATERS STAY ELEVATED THROUGH THU NIGHT WITH THE
RESIDUAL SWELL.
WAVES HAD TO BE INCREASED ON THE LI SOUND ABOUT 2 FT ABOVE
WAVEWATCH GUIDANCE GOING INTO TONIGHT.
SCA FOR SEAS MAY BE NEEDED ON THE OCEAN WATERS INTO FRI NIGHT. WARM
AIR OVER COLDER WATERS SHOULD KEEP GUSTS BELOW SCA LEVELS INTO SUN.
WIND GUSTS WILL LIKELY REACH SCA LEVELS SUN NIGHT THROUGH MON DUE TO
THE COMBINATION OF CAA AND A TIGHTENING PRES GRADIENT FROM
INTENSIFYING LOW PRES TO THE N AND HIGH PRES BUILDING IN FROM THE W.
MARGINAL SCA SEAS MAY ALSO BE REACHED ON THE EASTERN OCEAN WATERS IN
A STRONG NW FLOW.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
AS OF 10 PM...BETWEEN 2 AND 5 INCHES OF PRECIPITATION ALREADY
BEING REPORTED IN AND AROUND NYC METRO AND TO THE NORTH AND WEST.
ADDITIONAL RAINFALL OVERNIGHT EXPECTED TO PUSH STORM TOTALS TO
BETWEEN 3 INCHES AND 5 INCHES WITH LOCALLY HEAVIER AMOUNTS TO 6
INCHES POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY IN THE URBAN AREAS SURROUNDING NYC.
AREAS TO THE EAST OF THE CITY AND INTO CT CAN EXPECT A PERIOD OF
HEAVIER PRECIPITATION DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS THROUGH EARLY

WARNING WILL CONTINUE OVER NORTHEAST NEW JERSEY TO ACCOUNT FOR
NON FORECAST POINT RIVERS ABOVE MINOR FLOOD LEVELS. ADDITIONAL FLOOD

ACCOUNT FOR AREAL FLOODING.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
WIDESPREAD MINOR TO ISOLATED MODERATE FLOOD LEVELS BEING REACHED
ACROSS SOUTH SHORE AND BACK BAYS OF LONG ISLAND AS OF 11 PM DUE TO
ELEVATED TIDAL HEIGHTS.
WIDESPREAD MINOR COASTAL FLOODING STILL EXPECTED DURING HIGH
TIDE AFTER MIDNIGHT FOR WESTERN LONG ISLAND SOUND SHORELINES.
THE COMBINATION OF HEAVY RAINFALL TOTALS AND THE HIGHER TIDAL
LEVELS COULD ENHANCE THE FLOODING CONCERNS AS WELL.
THE EASTERLY FLOW IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN NEARLY THE SAME WITH A
MORE SOUTHEASTERLY WIND THROUGH THE EVENING. LOOKED AT VARIOUS
GAUGES AND RESIDUAL ARE SLIGHTLY LOWERING BUT STILL EXPECTING
LEVELS TONIGHT TO BE AROUND 1.5 TO 2 FT ABOVE ASTRONOMICAL.
COASTAL FLOODING NOT EXPECTED FOR THURSDAY DAYTIME...ALTHOUGH
SOME AREAS MAY HAVE DELAYED DRAINAGE SUCH AS THE SOUTH SHORE AND
BACK BAYS OF LONG ISLAND AS WELL AS THE SW CT COAST. SO...ISOLATED
MINOR COASTAL FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR THESE LOCATIONS FOR
THE LATE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON HIGH TIDE CYCLE.
