AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
427 PM EDT SAT MAY 10 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS LATE TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE THEN
BUILDS OVER THE AREA ON SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE
DEPARTS ON MONDAY...AND THEN A SERIES OF FRONTAL BOUNDARIES AND
WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH THE
MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. A STRONGER COLD FRONT IMPACTS THE REGION LATE
NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
CONVECTION CONTINUES ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH THE EVENING. THERE
IS SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH THIS IN TERMS OF THE DURATION OF
CONVECTION. THERE COULD BE SOME BREAKS IN ACTIVITY FROM TIME TO
TIME.
BEST CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING.
MUCH OF THIS ACTIVITY INTENSIFIED WITH THE INCREASING INSTABILITY
WITH THE DAYTIME HEATING. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO FURTHER FUEL
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS EASTERN LOCATIONS ALTHOUGH SOME WEAKENING
WILL OCCUR GIVEN THE MARINE INFLUENCE. THROUGH EARLY THIS
EVENING...MAIN THREAT WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE BRIEF GUSTY
WINDS AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS.
FOR THE NEXT FEW ROUNDS OF CONVECTION BACK IN PA THROUGH CENTRAL
NY...THEY WILL BE ARRIVING INTO A COOLER BUT STILL MOIST AIRMASS
THIS EVENING. EXPECTING THE THUNDERSTORMS TO BE LESS COVERAGE
GOING TO MID TO LATE EVENING AS TEMPERATURES COOL AND FORCING JUST
REMAINS AHEAD OF THE SHORTWAVE AND COLD FRONT AT THE SURFACE. THE
JET STREAM ALOFT WILL MOVE NEAR THE REGION THIS EVENING AND
SHOULD KEEP DIVERGENCE GOING ALOFT...ALLOWING FOR A HIGHER CHANCE
OF PRECIP.
ALSO...WITH RATHER LIGHT WESTERLY FLOW BEHIND THE FRONT...THINKING
LOW LEVELS WILL BE SLOWER TO DRY OUT LATE TONIGHT.
THEREFORE...HAVE PATCHY FOG DEVELOPING LATE. LOWS WERE A BLEND OF
NAM12 AND MET GUIDANCE...HIGHER SIDE OF GUIDANCE.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...MID LEVEL RIDGING WITH HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING IN AT THE SURFACE FROM THE SOUTH AND WEST WILL PROMOTE
DRY WEATHER DURING THIS PERIOD. WITH THE WESTERLY FLOW
SUNDAY...EXPECTING A QUICK INCREASE TO TEMPERATURES IN THE MORNING
WITH HIGHS WELL ABOVE NORMAL ONCE AGAIN...IN THE MID 70S TO LOWER
80S RANGE FOR MOST PLACES. THE JET STREAM ALOFT WILL BE LIFTING
FARTHER NORTH OF THE REGION WITH THE RIDGING. HIGHS WERE TAKEN
FROM MAVS AND INCREASED TWO DEGREES. SKIES WILL BE CLEARING SUNDAY
AND THESE MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES LINGER INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. LOWS SUNDAY
NIGHT WILL BE COOLER THAN OF RECENT NIGHTS WITH RADIATIONAL
COOLING AS WINDS WILL BE LIGHT. LOWS SUNDAY NIGHT WERE TAKEN FROM
ECS AND CONVEY A RANGE FROM THE MID 40S ACROSS RURAL AND INTERIOR
LOCATIONS TO THE LOWER 60S NEAR NYC.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
HIGH PRES DEPARTS ON MONDAY AS A DEEP UPPER TROUGH DIGS INTO THE
CENTRAL U.S. THIS TROUGH WILL EXTEND FROM CANADA INTO THE GULF OF
MEXICO...AND SFC LOW PRES WILL DEVELOP OVER THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES
BEFORE TRACKING TO THE NORTHEAST INTO CANADA. MEANWHILE...A WARM
FRONT APPROACHES ON MONDAY...AND THEN WEAK LOW PRES FORMS ALONG THE
BOUNDARY AS IT LIFTS TO THE NORTH. THAT BOUNDARY WILL BECOME NEARLY
STATIONARY NORTH OF THE REGION ON TUESDAY. AS A RESULT...WILL EXPECT
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSTMS TO DEVELOP MONDAY AFTERNOON...MAINLY
ACROSS NORTHERN ZONES. UNSETTLED WEATHER CONTINUES INTO TUESDAY AS
HIGH PRES OVER EASTERN CANADA DROPS SOUTH INTO THE GOLF OF MAINE.
THE STATIONARY FRONT NORTH OF THE AREA WILL PUSH TO THE SOUTH AS A
BACK DOOR COLD FRONT...AND THEN THE HIGH ANCHORS ITSELF OVER THE
WESTERN ATLANTIC THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.
THE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE MIDWEST WILL SLOWLY TRACK EAST...BUT WILL
EFFECTIVELY BECOME BLOCKED BY THE OFFSHORE HIGH. SEVERAL WEAK
IMPULSES WILL DEVELOP AT THE BASE OF THE TROUGH...AND THOSE WILL
TRACK TOWARDS THE REGION...KEEPING UNSETTLED WEATHER IN THE FORECAST
THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.
THE HIGH MOVES TO THE EAST THURSDAY NIGHT...AND THEN THE UPPER
TROUGH MOVES INTO THE EASTERN U.S. THERE ARE SOME INDICATIONS THAT
THE TROUGH BECOMES NEGATIVELY TILTED...AND THEN LOW PRES WILL
DEVELOP OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC BEFORE MOVING THROUGH THE REGION
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. WILL BUMP UP POPS TO LIKELY FOR MOST
OF THE REGION FOR THAT TIME FRAME. COULD BE SOME LINGERING SHOWERS
INTO SATURDAY AS SEVERAL STRONG SHORTWAVES DIVE INTO THE REGION AS
THE TROUGH MOVES OVERHEAD.
SUMMER-LIKE TEMPS CONTINUE ON MONDAY WITH HIGHS WELL ABOVE
NORMAL...TOPPING OFF IN THE LOW 80S WEST OF THE HUDSON RIVER AND IN
THE MID TO UPPER 70S MOST ELSEWHERE...AND COOLER NEAR THE COASTS.
TEMPS RETURN CLOSER TO NORMAL ON TUESDAY...TOPPING OFF IN THE UPPER
60S TO LOWER 70S WITH THE WARMEST TEMPS ONCE AGAIN WEST OF THE
HUDSON RIVER. BY WEDNESDAY...BEHIND THE BACK DOOR COLD FRONT AND
WITH ONSHORE FLOW...HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 50S NEAR THE
COASTS TO THE MID 60S ACROSS THE INTERIOR. TEMPS WILL THEN TOP OFF
AROUND NORMAL TO CLOSE OUT THE WEEK...GENERALLY IN THE UPPER 60S.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...

AND PASSES TONIGHT...BRINGING PERIODS OF SUB-VFR CONDITIONS.
SW FLOW THIS AFTN/EVENING...GENERALLY 8-13 KTS. OCNL GUSTS PSBL
18-25 KTS. GUSTS WILL SUBSIDE AFTR 00Z.
VIS MAINLY P6SM...THOUGH ANY PCPN COULD DROP VIS TO 3-5SM FOR A PERIOD.

EASTERN AREAS AS WELL THIS EVENING AHEAD OF FRONTAL PASSAGE.
FIRST ROUND OF PCPN PSBL AFTR 19Z...WITH HIGHER CONFIDENCE OF THE

CONFIDENCE OF COVERAGE/TIMING AT THIS TIME AND WILL NOT INCLUDE.
ANOTHER ROUND OF PCPN THIS EVENING/EARLY OVERNIGHT RIGHT AHEAD OF

VIS/CIGS. WINDS SHIFT BEHIND FRONT AFTR 06Z TO WNW FLOW.
.OUTLOOK FOR 18Z SUN THROUGH THURSDAY...
.SUN-MON...VFR WITH W/NW FLOW.
.MON NIGHT-THURS...PERIODS OF MVFR OR LOWER WITH PCPN.
&&
.MARINE...
SCA CONDITIONS STILL EXPECTED FOR THE OCEAN BUT SYNOPTIC GUSTS
WILL BE MARGINAL...NEAR 25 KT BUT FREQUENCY MAY BE MORE OCCASIONAL
WITH THIS. HOWEVER...EXPECTING THE INCREASING SW FETCH WILL HELP
BUILD SEAS AS WELL TO 5 FT ACROSS THE OCEAN ZONES. JUST EASTERN
OCEAN ZONES HAVE SCA CONDITIONS THROUGH TONIGHT WITH WESTERN OCEAN
UNTIL MIDNIGHT. FOR SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...SUB SCA CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED WITH HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL.
SUB-SCA CONDITIONS ON TAP FOR THE START THE NEW WEEK. BY THE MIDDLE
OF NEXT WEEK...SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS RETURN AS A PERSISTENT ONSHORE
FLOW WILL HELP PUSH OCEAN SEAS UP TO 3-5 FT.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
BETWEEN A QUARTER TO A HALF INCH OF BASIN AVERAGE QPF IS EXPECTED
THROUGH TONIGHT WITH SOME HIGHER AMOUNTS FROM CONVECTION. ANY
FLOODING POTENTIAL IS EXPECTED TO BE GENERALLY MINOR...PARTICULARLY
FOR THOSE LOCATIONS GETTING MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS.
SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTMS COULD PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN FOR MOST OF
THE UPCOMING WEEK...BUT WIDESPREAD ORGANIZED PRECIPITATION OF 1/2"
QPF OR MORE WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL LATE NEXT WEEK WHEN LOW PRESSURE
TRACKS THROUGH THE REGION.
&&
