AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
310 AM EDT TUE AUG 4 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH OVERNIGHT THEN STALL
ACROSS THE AREA TODAY. THE COLD FRONT MOVES OFFSHORE WEDNESDAY AS
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA. SEVERAL WAVES OF LOW
PRESSURE MAY IMPACT THE AREA FOR THE END OF THE WEEK. HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS BACK IN FOR THE WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 9 AM THIS MORNING/...
TWO RATHER DIFFUSE FRONTS APPROACHING FROM THE NW. THE FIRST
FRONT IS FORCING CONVECTION AHEAD OF IT IS BEING MAINTAINED BY
BOTH THERMODYNAMICS IN THE FORM OF HIGH CAPE AND DYNAMICS IN THE
FORM OF A PRONOUNCED JET STREAK.
INSTABILITY IS RATHER IMPRESSIVE. COMPARING LATEST KEWR ACARS
SOUNDING WITH RAP SUPPORTS LI'S ON -2 C AND THE 60KT JET ENTRANCE
WINDS. RAP SOUNDINGS INDICATES CONTINUED DESTABILIZATION THE NEXT
FEW HOURS WITH AREAS TO THE EAST (CT AND LONG ISLAND) BECOMING
VERY UNSTABLE. FOR EXAMPLE...KISP HAS 3000 J/KG OF CAPE AND -6 C
ON THE LI'S.
THUS AM FCSTING THE LINE THAT'S FORMING ALONG THE DELAWARE TO
CONTINUE AND GROW. HAVE ADDED GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN TO THE
TSTM DESCRIPTORS.
WILL HAVE TO WATCH THIS CLOSELY SEVERE AND QUICK SPIN UPS.
HAVE INCREASED POPS FOR CT AND LONG ISLAND. EXPECT THE ACTIVITY
IS EAST OF CT AND LONG ISLAND BY 930 AM.
IT LOOKS LIKE MUCH OF THE ACTIVITY BEHIND THE EASTERN PA CLUSTER
WILL WEAKEN - BUT CONFIDENCE IN THIS OCCURRING REMAINS LOW.
&&
.SHORT TERM /9 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
THE FRONT STALLS ACROSS THE AREA TODAY WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. VERY LITTLE APPRECIABLE
DIFFERENCE WILL BE FELT WITH TEMPERATURES REMAINING ABOVE NORMAL
AND SIMILAR HUMIDITY AS MONDAY. LATE TONIGHT THE UPPER TROUGH
BUILDS FARTHER SOUTH AND EAST...FORCING THE ATTENDANT SURFACE
FRONT FARTHER OFFSHORE WITH LOWER DEW POINTS ADVECTING INTO THE
REGION. A SUBSEQUENT DECREASE IN HUMIDITY WILL BE FELT AS THIS
OCCURS.
THERE IS A HIGH RISK FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF RIP CURRENTS AT THE
OCEAN BEACHES TODAY. A RIP CURRENT STATEMENT IS IN EFFECT.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO SLOWLY MOVE OFFSHORE WITH HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING INTO THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY. UPPER LEVEL TROUGH REMAINS OVER
THE AREA INTO THURSDAY.
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH DEPARTS THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY.
MODELS HAVE COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WITH SURFACE LOW OVER THE MID-
WEST TREKKING EAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND AFFECTING THE AREA MAINLY
FROM THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER...THERE
IS STILL UNCERTAINTY ON WHERE IT TRACKS AND THEREFORE HOW MUCH RAIN
WE DO RECEIVE. HOWEVER...IT DOES APPEAR MORE CERTAIN THAT A
WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN EVENT IS IN STORE FOR THIS TIME PERIOD.
ISENTROPIC LIFT OUT AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING LOW NOTED IN BOTH THE
12Z GFS AND 12Z ECMWF...MAINLY LATE THURSDAY NIGHT...SO THINKING
THIS WILL BE MORE STRATIFORM RAIN. SURFACE LOW CONTINUES ITS
APPROACH FRIDAY MORNING. MODELS DIFFER IN THE PLACEMENT OF THE LOW.
THE 12Z ECMWF AND 12Z GFS AGREE WITH THE LOW BEING OVER THE NORTHERN
MID-ATLANTIC STATES BY 06Z SATURDAY. THEREAFTER...MODELS DIFFER
QUITE A BIT IN THEIR SOLUTIONS. 12Z ECMWF TREKS THE LOW NORTHEAST IN
SIDE THE 40/70 BENCHMARK THROUGH THE DAY SATURDAY WHILE IT SLOWLY
STRENGTHENS WHILE THE GFS WEAKENS THE LOW OVER THE OLD FRONTAL
BOUNDARY OFFSHORE AND WEAKER WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE RIDING ALONG
IT...WHILE THE 12Z CANADIAN IS AN OUTLIER BEING MORE PROGRESSIVE THAN
THE OTHER MODELS. THEREFORE...SIDED MORE ALONG THE LINES OF THE GFS
AND ECMWF AND KEEP CHANCE POPS IN THE AREA THROUGH THE DAY SATURDAY
LOW PRESSURE PUSHES AWAY FROM THE AREA LATE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO
SUNDAY AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK INTO THE REGION FOR THE
SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND WITH A RETURN TO DRY CONDITIONS.
OUTSIDE OF FRIDAY...TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE SEASONABLE FOR THIS TIME
OF YEAR. RAIN AND CLOUDS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES DOWN ON FRIDAY...NOT
MAKING IT OUT OF THE 70S REGION-WIDE. IN FACT...TEMPERATURES MAY
PROVE TO BE A BIT LOWER THAN WHAT IS CURRENTLY FORECAST.
&&
.AVIATION /07Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO SLOWLY APPROACH FROM THE WEST.
ARE WATCHING AREAS OF CONVECTION OFF TO THE WEST. THESE STORMS
SHOULD APPROACH THE NYC METRO AROUND 09Z. WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP
TEMPOS IN TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS. HAVE LEFT OUT OF TERMINALS EAST OF
NYC WITH LOWER CONFIDENCE OF ANY THUNDER REACHING THOSE TERMINALS.
AMENDMENTS ARE LIKELY THIS MORNING TO ACCOUNT FOR CONVECTION
TIMING.
EXPECT S-SW WINDS OF 5-10 KT AT KNYC TERMINALS AND 5 KT OR LESS
INLAND OVERNIGHT ALONG WITH MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS. SOME IFR CIGS
ARE LIKELY FROM KISP AND POINTS EAST FOR LOW STRATUS.
AFTER FRONTAL PASSAGE...WINDS SHIFT TO THE W-SW AND INCREASE TO
8-12 KT. GRADIENT TIGHTENS THIS AFTERNOON. LOCAL SEA BREEZES
POSSIBLE AT COASTAL TERMINALS.
SCT SHRA/TSRA POSSIBLE LATE IN THE AFTERNOON.
.OUTLOOK FOR 06Z WED THROUGH SAT...
.TUE NIGHT...SLGT CHC FOR TSTMS MAINLY CSTL TERMINALS IN THE
EVENING. BECOMING VFR OVERNIGHT. SW FLOW BECOMING NW OVERNIGHT.
.WED-THU...VFR. GENERALLY W FLOW.

FORECAST ON TRACK...NO UPDATES AT THIS TIME.
WINDS OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL REMAIN STRONG INTO LATE TONIGHT
BEFORE LIGHTENING WITH THE APPROACH OF THE FRONT.
OCEAN SEAS BUILD DUE TO THE INCREASE IN THESE WINDS. A SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT ON THE OCEAN WATERS THROUGH EARLY
TUESDAY EVENING.
OCEAN SEAS WILL BE SUBSIDING TUESDAY NIGHT...BUT 5 FT SEAS MAY
LINGER ON THE EASTERN OCEAN UNTIL WEDNESDAY MORNING. WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE PASSES OVER THE WATERS ON WEDNESDAY WITH SUB SCA
CONDITIONS EXPECTED. SEVERAL WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE MAY PASS OVER
THE WATERS FOR THE END OF THE WEEK. OCCASIONAL SCA CONDITIONS ARE
POSSIBLE ON FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY ON THE OCEAN.
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE PASSES OVER THE WATERS ON WEDNESDAY WITH SUB SCA
CONDITIONS EXPECTED. LOW PRESSURE MAY PASS OVER OR NEAR THE WATERS
FOR THE END OF THE WEEK INTO THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND.
OCCASIONAL SCA CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE ON SATURDAY...ESPECIALLY ON
THE OCEAN.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
A TENTH TO A QUARTER INCH OF BASIN AVERAGE RAINFALL THIS MORNING.
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE IN ANY HEAVIER THUNDERSTORMS.
A WIDESPREAD SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE LATE THURSDAY INTO
FRIDAY. HOWEVER...UNCERTAINTY EXISTS IN WHERE AND WHEN THE
HEAVIEST OF THE RAIN WILL FALL. ANTECEDENT DRY CONDITIONS SHOULD
LIMIT FLOODING POTENTIAL. HOWEVER...ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO
DEVELOP WOULD HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED FLOODING.
