AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
403 AM EST SAT JAN 23 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
A NOR'EASTER WILL IMPACT THE AREA TODAY AND TONIGHT. A HIGH PRESSURE
RIDGE THEN BUILDS IN SUNDAY AND REMAINS OVER THE REGION THROUGH
MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OFFSHORE MONDAY NIGHT AS A FRONTAL
SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. AN ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT MOVES
ACROSS EARLY TUESDAY FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH TUESDAY
NIGHT. A SECONDARY COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
MODELS IN AGREEMENT THAT A CLOSED UPPER LOW EMERGES OFF THE MID
ATLANTIC COAST NEAR THE VA-NC BORDER AND HEADS NE BEFORE SHIFTING
MORE EASTERLY THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WILL STEER THE SURFACE LOW IN A
SIMILAR DIRECTION. THIS SHOULD ALSO ENABLE STRONG UPWARD FORCING AND
EXPANSION OF HEAVY SNOWFALL NORTHWARD INTO THE CWA BEFORE THE STORM
STARTS HEADING EAST.
FOR QPF...WENT ALONG THE LINES OF 00Z ECMWF/GFS/WPC GUIDANCE WITH
SOME UPWARD ADJUSTMENTS...NOTING THE UPWARD TREND IN QPF WITH THESE
MODELS OVER THE PAST FEW RUNS. HIGHEST QPF IS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
ZONES. A THIN BAND OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW IS JUST ABOUT ENTERING
THE CWA AS OF 08Z. IT'S DIFFICULT EVEN AT THIS POINT TO TRY TO
PINPOINT WHERE ADDITIONAL BANDING OF SNOW AND ENHANCED SNOW TOTALS
WILL OCCUR...HOWEVER THE SIGNALS ARE THERE FOR MORE MESOSCALE
BANDING TO OCCUR SOMEWHERE WITHIN THE CWA. 700MB HEIGHTS SHOW A BACK-
BENT WARM FRONT SHIFTING THROUGH THE CWA...COINCIDING WITH A STRONG
LOW LEVEL JET AND IMPRESSIVE ISENTROPIC LIFT...MID-LEVEL
FRONTOGENESIS AND HIGH OMEGA IN THE DENDRITIC SNOW GROWTH REGION.
LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER (AND MORE SIGNIFICANT) BAND WOULD SHIFT THROUGH
DURING THE LATE MORNING TO EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. AVERAGING THE AXIS
LOCATIONS OF ALL OF THESE PARAMETERS AND ADJUSTING NORTH/WEST TO
ACCOUNT FOR MOMENTUM...BEST GUESS IS THAT IT OCCURS OVER THE CENTRAL
OR EASTERN PORTION OF THE CWA. BUT AGAIN...WITH THE DEGREE OF
DIFFICULTY IN PREDICTING BANDING...IT COULD POTENTIALLY AFFECT THE
NW ZONES AS WELL.
LOOKING AT FORECAST BUFKIT PROFILES...ANOTHER FACTOR TO CONSIDER IS
THE POSSIBILITY OF SLEET OVER PARTS OF LONG ISLAND WHICH COULD
OFFSET SNOW AMOUNTS. HOWEVER...PROFILES ARE SHOWING THIS POSSIBILITY
RIGHT AROUND THE TIME WHERE THE AFOREMENTIONED STRONG DYNAMICS
OCCUR...AND THEREFORE THIS MID LEVEL WARMING COULD BE OFFSET. WILL
THEREFORE KEEP SLEET OUT OF THE FORECAST FOR NOW.
WITH ALL OF THIS CONSIDERED...HIGHEST SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED
IN THE CITY...THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING SUBURBS...AND MOST OF LONG
ISLAND. THINKING IS THAT THE FORKS REGION WILL SEE LOWER SNOW TO
RAIN RATIOS WITH A WARMER THERMAL PROFILE. NO CHANGES TO THE
HEADLINES FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. WILL MAINTAIN BLIZZARD WARNING
ALONG THE COAST. VERY STRONG WINDS OF 30 TO 40 MPH WITH GUSTS 40 TO
50 MPH WILL RESULT IN POOR VSBYS IN HEAVY SNOW/BLOWING SNOW.
SNOW THEN ENDS OVERNIGHT. LOW TEMPS ARE A NAM/MAV MOS BLEND.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN BEHIND THE DEPARTING STORM ON SUNDAY. PARTLY
TO MOSTLY SUNNY. BREEZY AT THE START...BUT THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
WILL ALLOW FOR LIGHTER WINDS DURING THE AFTERNOON. MOSTLY CLEAR
SUNDAY NIGHT WITH DEEP-LAYERED RIDGING. TEMPS IN THE SHORT TERM ARE
A NAM/MAV MOS BLEND.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A POLAR JET WEAKENS EARLY MONDAY BUT INCREASES MONDAY NIGHT. IN THE
MID LEVELS...RIDGING TAKES PLACE WITH A LONGWAVE TROUGH APPROACHING
MONDAY NIGHT. THE UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK REMAINS OVER THE REGION
TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...INCREASING IN MAGNITUDE THROUGH THE
TIME. THE MID LEVEL LONGWAVE TROUGH MOVES IN ACROSS THE REGION
TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH THE HIGHEST PVA MOVING THROUGH WITH
THE SHORTENING OF ITS AXIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT. AT THE SURFACE...A
FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHES MONDAY NIGHT WITH ITS ASSOCIATED WARM
FRONT MOVING THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY. THIS WILL THEN BE FOLLOWED BY A
COLD FRONT TUESDAY NIGHT WITH A SECONDARY COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. AFTER THIS...THE JET STAYS SOUTH OF THE REGION
THURSDAY THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY. THE MID LEVELS SHOW MORE OF A QUASI-
ZONAL FLOW THURSDAY BEFORE ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH APPROACHES FOR
NEXT FRIDAY. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE THURSDAY WILL BE
FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER LOW APPROACHING FOR THURSDAY NIGHT INTO NEXT
FRIDAY.
IN TERMS OF PRECIPITATION...SOME LIGHT MOISTURE RETURNS ARE SEEN
FROM THE MODEL FIELDS LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING WHICH
HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE SOME LIGHT FREEZING RAIN OR DRIZZLE
DEPENDING ON THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE AND HOW SATURATED LOW LEVELS
BECOME. POPS ARE ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THIS. A HIGHER CHANCE OF
RAIN ARRIVES TUESDAY AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. COLDER TEMPERATURES
ALOFT BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WILL ALLOW FOR SOME REMAINING RAIN AND
SNOW SHOWERS TUESDAY NIGHT AS PVA ASSOCIATED WITH AN EMBEDDED
SHORTWAVE MOVES MOSTLY NORTH AND WEST OF THE REGION. THESE RAIN AND
SNOW SHOWERS ARE ONLY AT SLIGHT CHANCE. DRY CONDITIONS RESUME
WEDNESDAY WITH ANOTHER SLIGHT CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS WEDNESDAY NIGHT
AS ANOTHER COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH AT THE SURFACE ALONG WITH AN
ASSOCIATED EMBEDDED SHORTWAVE WITH LARGER PVA ALOFT. DRY CONDITIONS
RESUME THURSDAY WITH ANOTHER SLIGHT CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS THURSDAY
NIGHT AND A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS FRIDAY ASSOCIATED
WITH THE NEXT LOW.
IN TERMS OF TEMPERATURES...HIGHS ARE FORECAST TO BE NEAR NORMAL
MONDAY...AND APPROXIMATELY 5 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL TUESDAY. HIGHS
TREND LOWER FOR THE REST OF THE LONG TERM AND WILL AVERAGE NEAR
NORMAL. LOWS ARE FORECAST TO BE NEAR NORMAL SUNDAY
NIGHT...APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 7 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR BOTH MONDAY
AND TUESDAY NIGHT. SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE AS NOTED BEFORE WILL BE
TEMPERATURES AT 850MB. THEY ARE FORECAST TO BE SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE
FREEZING MONDAY NIGHT AND SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW FREEZING TUESDAY
NIGHT. THE LOWS FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY NIGHT WILL STILL BE
SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.
&&
.AVIATION /09Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
BLIZZARD AFFECTS REGION THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING...
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS EXPECTED AROUND SUNRISE OVER NYC AND LI
TERMINALS...PUSHING INTO COASTAL CT TERMINALS BY MID MORNING.
SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO OVERSPREAD CITY AND LI TERMINALS THROUGH THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS. IT WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY SPREAD N-NNE INTO
SATURDAY MORNING. CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE AFTER
DAYBREAK WITH BLIZZARD CONDITIONS FOR NY METRO AND LONG
ISLAND...PUSHING INTO PORTIONS OF THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY AND
COASTAL CT LATER IN THE MORNING.
NE WINDS WILL INCREASE ESPECIALLY AFTER 09Z AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE
DAY. STRONG WIND GUSTS INTO THE 40S PEAKING AS HIGH AS 50 KT ALONG
THE COAST.
SOME VARIABILITY IN SNOW INTENSITY AND CONDITIONS MAY OCCUR THROUGH
THE DAY...BUT A 1-2 INCH HOUR RATE SEEMS LIKELY. 3 INCH PER HOUR
RATES CANNOT BE RULED OUT AT TIMES.
SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS THROUGH 18Z...AROUND 8 TO 12 INCHES FOR NY
METRO AND LI TERMINALS...AND 4 TO 6 FOR REMAINING TERMINALS.
FOR DETAILED SNOW AMOUNTS FOR THE ENTIRE STORM...SEE
WWW.WEATHER.GOV/OKX/WINTER.
.OUTLOOK FOR 06Z SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
.SAT NGT...SN ENDING FROM WEST TO EAST...AROUND MIDNIGHT IN THE NY
METRO.
.SUN...VFR. N WND 15G25KT EARLY...THEN DIMINISHING BY AFTN.

.WED...VFR. W WND 10-15 KT.
&&
.MARINE...
WILL MAINTAIN STORM WARNINGS FOR THE OCEAN WATERS AND GALE WARNINGS
ELSEWHERE. WINDS ON THE WATERS WILL BE TRENDING DOWN SUNDAY.
HOWEVER...GALES WILL LIKELY REMAIN EARLY SUNDAY MORNING AND
DEPENDING ON MIXING COULD LINGER INTO LATER PORTIONS OF SUNDAY
MORNING. THEREFORE...FOR THE NON-OCEAN WATERS...KEPT END TIME OF
GALE WARNING THE SAME AS BEFORE. FOR THE AFTERNOON...GALES ARE
FORECAST TO DIMINISH WITH WIND GUSTS EVEN ON THE OCEAN ONLY REACHING
A MAX NEAR 30 KT. THESE WINDS FURTHER DIMINISH SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH
MONDAY NIGHT UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A WEAKENING PRESSURE GRADIENT
WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN. SCA WINDS LOWER TO BELOW SCA ON
OUTER OCEAN SUNDAY EVENING.
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS AGAIN TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY WITH
WIND GUSTS REACHING SCA ON OCEAN WATERS AND BEING MORE MARGINAL ON
NON-OCEAN WATERS. IN TERMS OF SEAS...OCEAN IS STILL FORECAST TO BE 5
TO 15 FT EARLY SUNDAY...LOWERING TO 5 TO 9 FT LATE IN THE DAY.
THEREFORE...SUNDAY EVENING...SCA FOR SEAS WILL STILL BE FORECAST.
SCA SEAS LINGER INTO EARLY MONDAY BEFORE DROPPING BELOW SCA FOR
BRIEF TIME THROUGH MUCH OF MONDAY NIGHT BEFORE COMING UP TO SCA
AGAIN TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
THE NOR'EASTER IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE A LIQUID EQUIVALENT RANGE OF
AROUND TWO-THIRDS TO ONE AND THREE QUARTER INCHES. HIGHEST AMOUNTS
TO THE SOUTH WITH THE LOWEST AMOUNTS TO THE NORTH. THE PRECIP WILL
BE IN THE FORM OF SNOW...SO NO HYDROLOGIC CONCERNS ARE ANTICIPATED.
NO SIGNIFICANT WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED MOST OF NEXT
WEEK.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
WILL BE UPDATING THIS PORTION SHORTLY....
A POWERFUL NOR'EASTER WILL RESULT IN MULTIPLE EPISODES OF COASTAL
FLOODING AROUND THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE SAT INTO SUN.
COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORIES AND WARNINGS ENCAPSULATE THE ENTIRE
COASTLINE OF THE FORECAST AREA FOR THE SAT MORNING AND EVENING HIGH
TIDE CYCLES. THE BIGGEST CHANGES WITH THIS UPDATE WERE TO CONVERT
THE COASTAL FLOOD WATCH ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL LI SOUND TO A
WARNING ACROSS THE NORTH SHORE OF LI AND NYC...AND AN ADVISORY
ACROSS THE CT COAST. IN ADDITION...THE COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY HAS
BEEN EXTENDED ACROSS EASTERN CT. THE COASTAL FLOOD WATCH FOR
MANHATTAN FOR SATURDAY EVE HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO AN ADVISORY.
OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF CYCLES...THE TIMING OF THE STORM HAS PICKED
UP...THUS RESULTING IN A SURGE ABOUT 1/2 FOOT HIGHER FOR THE MORNING
HIGH TIDE CYCLE...AND SLIGHTLY LOWER IN THE EVENING AS THE WINDS
BACK TO THE NORTH. IN FACT...THE HIGHEST SURGE WILL LIKELY OCCUR IN
THE AFTERNOON BETWEEN THE HIGH TIDES. THE SOUND IS MOST LIKELY AREA
TO SEE THE HIGHEST TIDE COINCIDE WITH THE HIGHEST SURGE DURING THE
LATE MORNING HOURS.
FOR THE SATURDAY MORNING HIGH TIDE...POSITIVE TIDAL DEPARTURES OF 1
1/2 TO 2 FT ARE NEEDED FOR MINOR COASTAL FLOODING AND 2 1/4 TO 3 FT
FOR MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING. CONTINUED TO TAKE AN AVERAGE OF BIAS
CORRECTED ESTOFS...ETSS AND STEVENS SURGE GUIDANCE...AND WEIGHT IT
TOWARDS THE HIGHER ETSS/ESTOFS SOLUTIONS WITH WINDS RAMPING UP
QUICKLY. THIS RESULTS IN A STORM SURGE OF 2 TO 3 FT WITH THE MOST
LIKELY LOCATIONS TO SEE MODERATE TO LOCALIZED MAJOR ALONG THE SOUTH
SHORE OF WESTERN/CENTRAL LI...THE LOWER REACHES OF NY HARBOR...TIDAL
PORTIONS OF THE HACKENSACK AND PASSAIC RIVERS...AND THE NORTH SHORE
NYC AND WESTERN LI. THE GALE TO STORM FORCE NE WINDS WILL LIKELY
PILE WATER IN THESE LOCATIONS.
FOR THE SAT EVENING HIGH TIDE...POSITIVE TIDAL DEPARTURES OF 2 TO 2
1/2 FT ARE NEEDED FOR MINOR COASTAL FLOODING...AND 3 TO 4 FT FOR
MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING. LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE IS CONTINUING TO
SHOWS WINDS BACKING TO NORTH A LITTLE FASTER...WHICH HAS RESULTED IN
SLIGHTLY LOWER SURGE VALUES...BUT STILL LOOKING FOR A 3 TO 4 SURGE.
CONTINUED TO TAKE AN AVERAGE OF BIAS CORRECTED ESTOFS...ETSS AND
STEVENS SURGE GUIDANCE...AND WEIGHT IT TOWARDS THE HIGHER
ETSS/ESTOFS SOLUTIONS. THIS RESULTS IN A WARNING/ADVISORY
CONFIGURATION VERY SIMILAR TO THE MORNING HIGH TIDE CYCLE. THE ONE
CHANGE IS THAT THE LOWER REACHES OF NY HARBOR ARE UNDER A COASTAL
FLOOD WARNING AND ADVISORIES INCLUDE EASTERN LI AND SE CT.
JUST FOR REFERENCE...BASED ON LOCAL IMPACT CATALOGS...A SURGE OF
CLOSE TO 5+ FT WOULD BE NEEDED SAT EVE FOR START OF IMPACTS AT
LGA. A SURGE OF 4+ FT INTO JAMAICA BAY FOR START OF IMPACTS AT JFK.
BOTH OF THESE SCENARIOS ARE NOT EXPECTED.
ANOTHER ROUND OF MINOR TO LOCALLY MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING IS
POSSIBLE ACROSS PARTICULARLY THE SOUTH SHORE BAY LOCALES WITH THE
SUNDAY MORNING HIGH TIDE AS WATERS WILL LIKELY BE SLOW TO RECEDE.
IN ADDITION TO SURGE POTENTIAL...AN EASTERLY SWEEP OF 8 TO 12
FT SURF WILL BRING POTENTIAL FOR DUNE TOE EROSION ALONG ALL
ATLANTIC OCEAN BEACHES AND POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED OVERWASH FOR
THE BARRIER BEACHES FROM FIRE ISLAND AND POINTS WEST ON SAT INTO
SUN. THIS IS BASED ON USGS COASTAL CHANGE HAZARDS MODELING FOR A
GALE FORCE NOR-EASTER. IN ADDITION...THE OPEN WATER EXPOSED
GARDINERS BAY AREAS OF THE TWIN FORKS OF LI WILL ALSO BE
SUSCEPTIBLE TO SIGNIFICANT BEACH EROSION.
