Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
138 PM EDT MON JUL 25 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front approaches this afternoon and moves through the
region tonight. High pressure builds to the west Tuesday and moves
off the southeast coast Wednesday into Thursday. A weak cold front
approaches the region Friday and may linger into the weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Severe thunderstorm watch in effect for a good portion of the area
through the remainder of the afternoon. Sunshine will give way to
increasing clouds and thunderstorms approach and move through
from nw to se.
Shearing northern stream shortwave then approaches late today
with pre-frontal trough approaching the region late this afternoon
crossing the region this evening. Trailing cold front crosses
tonight.
Temps continue to heat up early this afternoon. Temperatures away
from the south coasts should be able to climb into the lower to
mid 90s...with dewpoints rising into the lower 70s. Heat indices
of 100 to 104 expected across nyc/NJ metro...with potential for
105+ if dewpoints advecting NE from southern NJ/se PA don't mix
out. For most of the remainder of the region...heat indices
peaking around 100 degrees. The exception will be southern and
eastern coastal areas limited to the mid to upper 80s due to
morning cloud cover and onshore flow. Despite this...heat indices
could still peak in the mid to upper 90s as dewpoints should surge
into the lower to mid 70s.
In terms of convection...tracking convection heading toward nw
zones. Higher resolution models track these two complexes through
the area this afternoon.
Strengthening uni-directional deep layer shear and tstm coverage
should support storm organization into strong to severe storms
line segments affecting NYC/NJ/LI metro and points N/NW/W.
Damaging winds from wet micro/macro bursts looks like the main
threat based on uni-directional wind fields...deep moisture...and
inverted V soundings. Relatively quick storm motions should
localize flash flood threat to areas with training tstms.
Convection should become elevated and weaken this evening as it
translates farther east across LI/Southern CT as it runs into a
deeper marine stable layer. Convection should push offshore by
around midnight as shortwave axis moves across.
Drier air slowly advects in late tonight with weak cold frontal
passage. Areas of fog possible across outlying areas in warm and
muggy airmass.
There is a moderate risk of rip current development this
afternoon into evening as southerly wind waves increase to around
3 ft.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY/...
Shortwave axis slides offshore Tuesday...with deep WNW flow on
Tuesday. With 850 hpa temps still running in the high
teens...deep mixing...downslope flow and full sunshine...expect
temps to quickly rise into the mid 90s for much of the coastal
plain. Lower 90s for nw hills...and potential for a few upper 90s
for NYC/NJ metro. Noticeably lower dewpoints should keep heat
indices close to air temps...but close to heat advisory criteria
for NYC metro. Sea breezes should be limited to late day and
immediate south coasts...if at all.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
High pressure builds across the area on Tuesday night then moves
offshore on Thursday. A stalled frontal boundary south of the area
will remain through the weekend. Showers and thunderstorms are
possible during the afternoon and evenings Thursday and through the
weekend, as waves of low pressure begin to ride along this frontal
boundary.
Temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday will be above normal with
highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s and returning to normal levels
on Friday and through the weekend with highs in the low to mid
80s.
&&
.AVIATION /17Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Showers and thunderstorms are expected this afternoon and evening.
First line of showers and thunderstorms should effect KSWF early
afternoon and should stay north of other terminals. A second line
is expected to move through all terminals late afternoon/early
evening.
VFR through this evening, except in thunderstorms where MVFR or
lower visibilities briefly possible.
S-SW flow 10-15 KT through this evening, with winds shifting to
the west or west-northwest overnight after cold front passage.
MVFR or lower visibility in fog possible for KHPN, KSWF, and KGON.

KJFK TAF Comments: An occasional gusts to 20 kt possible through
the afternoon. A shower or thunderstorm could develop a few hours
earlier than indicated before the main line of storms late
afternoon/early evening.

the afternoon. A shower or thunderstorm could develop a few hours

or thunderstorm could develop a few hours earlier than indicated

likely.
.OUTLOOK FOR 18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
.Tuesday Afternoon-Thursday...VFR.
.Thursday Night-Saturday...MVFR or lower possible in a chance of
showers and thunderstorms.
&&
.MARINE...
Sub sca conditions expected through Tuesday. S/SW winds gusts to
20 kt possible for most waters this afternoon...with nearshore NW
winds gusts to 20 kt possible Tuesday afternoon. Occasional
nearshore gusts to 25 kt possible. Ocean seas should remain in the
2 to 4 ft range.
Greater chance for thunderstorms late this afternoon through this
evening.
Below small advisory conditions expected across the area waters from
Tuesday through Friday.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
There is the potential for 1/4 to 1/2 inch of rainfall, with locally
higher amounts, possibly 2+ inches, as numerous showers and
thunderstorms track across the region late this afternoon into
this evening. This presents a localized flash flood
threat...mainly across NYC/NJ metro and interior with any
training cells.
There is the potential for scattered showers and thunderstorms,
across the area during the afternoons and evenings Thursday through
next weekend.
