AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
435 PM EDT TUE JUN 3 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION TODAY AND PASS
OFFSHORE WEDNESDAY MORNING. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL INTENSIFY AS
IT MOVES EAST ACROSS THE REGION THURSDAY MORNING FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE
FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. A WEAK FRONTAL SYSTEM MAY APPROACH THE REGION
ON MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
A NEARLY SOLID LINE OF HEAVY SHOWERS AND TSTMS CONTINUES TO MOVE
EAST ACROSS CENTRAL NJ AND THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY...FORECAST ACROSS
METRO NJ BY 21Z...NYC BY 22Z AND WESTERN LONG ISLAND AND SW CT BY 23Z.

HEAVY RAIN...FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND WIND GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH CAN BE
EXPECTED WITH THIS LINE.

THE INTENSITY OF THIS LINE SHOULD BEGIN TO DECREASE WITH THE APPROACH
OF AND AFTER SUNSET AS LOW LVL INSTABILITY DECREASES.

A WEAK WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP JUST SOUTH OF
NYC BY 03Z...WHICH WILL CAUSE THE FRONT TO MOVE EVEN SLOWER AS IT
PROGRESSES EAST ACROSS LONG ISLAND BY LATE TONIGHT.

PATCHY FOG IS POSSIBLE TONIGHT AS THE WIND FLOW WEAKENS.

THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENT DEVELOPMENT TODAY DUE TO THE PERSISTENT
3-5 FT LONG PERIOD SOUTHEAST SWELLS EVERY 10-12 SECONDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
POTENTIAL FOR A HIGH IMPACT WEATHER EVENT WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
THURSDAY MORNING.

ALL FORECAST MODELS SHOW AN INTENSIFYING LOW PRES SYSTEM MOVING
EAST TOWARD NYC WITH A WARM FRONT EXTENDING EAST...VERY CLOSE TO
THE LOCAL AREA.

A WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINFALL OF AT LEAST 1 TO 2 INCHES IS POSSIBLE
WITH ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS...CONTINUING DURING THE THURSDAY MORNING
RUSH HOUR.

IN ADDITION...STRONG LOW LVL CONVERGENCE ALONG WITH INCREASING ELEVATED
INSTABILITY WILL SET THE STAGE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS
ALONG AND NORTH OF THIS WARM FRONT. ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING ROTATION IN THE VICINITY OF THE WARM FRONT IS POSSIBLE.

STAY TUNED.

CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE THURSDAY AFTERNOON AS THIS STRONG LOW MOVES
OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
STILL A CHANCE OF LINGERING SHOWERS THURSDAY NIGHT WITH THE
DEPARTING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM...BUT MAINLY BEFORE MIDNIGHT. HIGH
PRESSURE THEN BUILDS IN FOR FRIDAY WITH DRY WEATHER...BUT WITH A
CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT AND THE POTENTIAL OF A SHORTWAVE PASSING
THROUGH...AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR TSTM IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION
ACROSS CT.

DRY WEATHER EXTENDS THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVERHEAD.
HIGHS ON BOTH DAYS ABOVE NORMAL.

MODELS ARE SPEEDING UP THE TIME OF THE NEXT COLD FRONT. IT NOW
APPEARS THAT IT WILL MOVE THROUGH SOMETIME DURING MONDAY. WILL CAP
POPS AT CHC FOR NOW...THEN GO WITH A DRY FORECAST FOR TUESDAY BEHIND
THE FRONT.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A WEAK FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM THE WEST THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING.

SOUTH FLOW 8-12 KT THROUGH THIS EVENING....THEN WINDS GO LIGHT AND
VARIABLE LATER TONIGHT.

SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE ALREADY STARTED TO DEVELOP
THIS AFTERNOON. EXPECT SHOWERS TO BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD WITH
THUNDERSTORMS AFTER 20Z. BEST CHANCES WILL BE WEST OF THE HUDSON
RIVER WITH LESSER CHANCES EAST.

NORTH AND WEST OF NYC. WILL LEAVE THUNDER OUT FOR THE OTHER
