AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
427 PM EST FRI JAN 30 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL DEEPEN WELL OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST THROUGH
SATURDAY...WHILE POLAR HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST. A
COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH ON SUNDAY AS DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE
APPROACHES FROM THE OHIO VALLEY. THE LOW PASSES SOUTH OF LONG
ISLAND MONDAY AND THEN FAR OFFSHORE MONDAY NIGHT WITH HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING IN ITS PLACE. THE HIGH MOVES ACROSS TUESDAY AND
OFFSHORE TUESDAY NIGHT. A COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS MIDWEEK WITH
ANOTHER LOW PASSING WELL OFFSHORE LATE IN THE WEEK. BY THAT
TIME FRAME...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE CENTERED WEST OF THE REGION.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE AREA BY EARLY THIS EVENING
WITH STRONG COLD ADVECTION AND A RAMPING UP NW FLOW. WIND ADVISORY
REMAINS IN PLACE WITH 40-50 KT WINDS AT THE TOP OF THE BOUNDARY LAYER
BY THIS EVENING WITH STRONG COLD ADVECTION. THIS RESULTS IN GUSTS
OF 4O TO 50 MPH AT THE SFC OVERNIGHT. COMBINING THESE STRONG
WINDS AND LOW TEMPS INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS INLAND...AND AROUND 10
AT THE COAST...PRODUCES WIND CHILLS OF 10 TO 20 BELOW ZERO. A WIND
CHILL ADVISORY REMAINS UP FROM LATE TONIGHT INTO SAT MORNING FOR
PORTIONS OF NE NJ...THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY...AND MOST OF SOUTHERN
CT. REGARDLESS...IT WILL BE BITTERLY COLD AND PRECAUTIONS WILL
NEED TO TAKEN IF EXPOSED TO THESE ELEMENTS FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME.
SKIES WILL CLEAR FROM WEST TO EAST BY EARLY THIS EVENING.
FOR OVERNIGHT LOWS...PREFERENCE WAS TOWARD A BLEND OF THE COLDER
MET MOS AND NAM 2M TEMPS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
STRONG NW FLOW CONTINUES ON SAT AS LOW PRESSURE LIFTS UP INTO THE
CANADIAN MARITIMES AND POLAR HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE
WEST. PREFERENCE WAS TOWARD A BLEND OF THE COLDER MET MOS AND NAM
2 M TEMPS WITH HIGHS 15 TO 20.
HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES ACROSS THE AREA SAT NIGHT AND THEN OFFSHORE
SUN AS DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE OHIO VALLEY.
CLOUDS WILL INCREASE LATE SAT NIGHT INTO SUN WITH A LOW CHANCE OF
SNOW DEVELOPING AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM BY LATE SUN AFT/EARLY EVE.
LOWS SAT NIGHT WILL BE CONSIDERABLY WARMER...BUT STILL BELOW
NORMAL WITH LOWS IN THE TEENS. WEST WINDS WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO
DIMINISH. HIGHS ON SUN WILL BE IN THE LOW TO MID 30S. STAYED
CLOSED TO A MET/MAV MOS BLEND.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE LONG TERM IS THE STORM SYSTEM SUNDAY NIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY. THE CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION IS VERY HIGH AND LOOKS
TO BE MAINLY SNOW. THE SNOW FORECAST HAS A TOTAL OF GENERALLY 6-12
INCHES IN THIS TIME FRAME...HIGHEST ACROSS SOUTHERN CT AND LOWER
HUDSON VALLEY...LOWEST ACROSS LONG ISLAND. HOWEVER...THESE SPECIFIC
SNOW AMOUNTS ARE UNCERTAIN AND THE CONFIDENCE LEVEL IS AROUND 40-45
PERCENT...THE HIGHER PERCENTAGE BEING ACROSS THE INTERIOR ZONES.
BECAUSE OF THIS AFOREMENTIONED UNCERTAINTY AND LOWER
CONFIDENCE...HELD OFF ON THE WINTER STORM WATCH. THERE ARE MORE
FEATURES THAT GO INTO THE CURRENT LOWER CONFIDENCE LEVEL. ONE...A
PROGRESSING MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE THAT DOES NOT CLOSE OFF. IT EXHIBITS
A RATHER POTENT MAGNITUDE BUT SWIFTLY MOVES ACROSS MONDAY. THE
HIGHEST POSITIVE VORTICITY ADVECTION WILL BE GOING INTO MONDAY
MORNING SO THE SNOW WILL PROBABLY BE THE HEAVIEST DURING THIS
TIMEFRAME.
TWO...THIS EVENT IS STILL BEYOND THE 36-48 HOUR TIMEFRAME THAT IS
TYPICAL OF A WATCH. THE FORECASTS GOING INTO MONDAY MORNING HAVE
EXHIBITED WIDE VARIANCE IN THE POSITION OF THE LOW ON THE ORDER OF
ABOUT 100 TO 200 MILES. THIS HAS BEEN CONVEYED IN THE NAM...CMC
BETWEEN THE LAST TWO RUNS AND THE ECMWF 12Z COMPARED TO 12Z
YESTERDAY. THIS WILL MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IF FOR EXAMPLE A
FURTHER NORTHWARD TREND IS MADE WITH THE MODELS RUNS TONIGHT. THE
NAM AND PARALLEL NAM HAVE ALREADY SHOWN A MORE NORTHWARD TREND THAT
POSES A CHANCE FOR A WINTRY MIX ACROSS SOME COASTAL SECTIONS. THIS
HAS BEEN REFLECTED IN THE FORECAST SO THIS IS A VERY COMPLEX ONE.
THREE...INGREDIENTS FOR THIS SYSTEM HAVE YET TO COME TOGETHER FROM
WESTERN CANADA AND SOUTHWEST MEXICO. THESE WILL COMBINE SATURDAY AND
SATURDAY NIGHT. THINKING THE BETTER SAMPLING TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY
WILL YIELD LESS VARIANCE IN FUTURE MODEL RUNS.
AFTER THIS SYSTEM...MONDAY NIGHT UNTIL MIDWEEK...WE WILL BE IN A
QUASI-ZONAL MID LEVEL FLOW. A WEAK LOW AMPLITUDE SHORTWAVE MOVES
ACROSS TUESDAY WITH A LARGER MORE AMPLIFIED SHORTWAVE MOVING
APPROACHING WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THERE WILL BE AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT
AT THE SURFACE APPROACHING WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. THERE WILL
BE A CHANCE OF SNOW WITH THIS.
FOR LATE IN THE WEEK...A LOW PRESSURE AREA MOVES FAR OFFSHORE...MORE
OFFSHORE WITH THE 12Z ECMWF RUN TODAY...BUT DID NOT WANT TO TOTALLY
MAKE FOR A DRY FORECAST. LEFT IN A CHANCE OF MAINLY SNOW FOR
THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. HOWEVER...THE MODELS HAVE CONVEYED MORE OF A
PROGRESSIVE SOLUTION AND LESS AMPLIFIED THAN BEFORE SO THE LOW IS
NOT THAT STRONG OFFSHORE AND HIGH PRESSURE COULD PROVE TO BE MORE
DOMINANT IN ALLOWING FOR A DRIER FORECAST.
FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES...BELOW NORMAL OVERALL...MAINLY IN 20S EXCEPT
FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WITH LOW TO MID 30S. LOWS ARE FORECAST TO
BE TEENS TO LOWER 20S SUNDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. FOR OTHER
PERIODS...LOW TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST AS FOLLOWS...SINGLE DIGITS
TO A LITTLE BELOW ZERO MONDAY NIGHT...SINGLE DIGITS TO LOWER TEENS
TUESDAY NIGHT...LOW TO MID TEENS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT.

NW GALES DEVELOP ON ALL WATERS BY THIS EVENING WITH GUSTS ON THE

TO LOWER 40S WILL ALSO RESULT IN AT LEAST MODERATE FREEZING SPRAY
DURING THIS TIME FRAME.
GUSTY WINDS WILL DIMINISH SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. SEAS WILL
RESPOND BY SUBSIDING THROUGH THIS TIME FRAME. MARGINAL 5 FT SEAS
MAY CLIP THE EASTERNMOST OCEAN WATERS S OF MONTAUK INTO

SEAS INCREASE LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. OCEAN SEAS
INCREASE TO 6 TO 11 FT THROUGH THE DAY MONDAY...AND LAST INTO MONDAY
NIGHT. THE WIND GUSTS REACH 25 KT LATE SUNDAY NIGHT WITH GALES QUITE
POSSIBLE MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT. THESE CONDITIONS GRADUALLY TAPER
DOWN EARLY TUESDAY. THE RELATIVELY MORE QUIET PERIOD LOOKS TO BE
LATE TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. THERE COULD BE
SOME MARGINAL SCA SEAS ON THE OUTER OCEAN TUESDAY OF AROUND 5 FT.
SCA CONDITIONS POSSIBLE ONCE AGAIN WITH THE APPROACH OF THE COLD
FRONT TOWARDS MIDWEEK.
