AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
516 AM EDT SUN APR 3 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
INTENSIFYING LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS EAST OF THE AREA TODAY.
AN ALBERTA CLIPPER LOW WILL THEN APPROACH TONIGHT...AND PASS JUST
TO THE SOUTH MONDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD
IN FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...THEN PASS EAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT. A
SERIES OF FRONTAL SYSTEMS WILL THEN MOVE ACROSS FROM THURSDAY INTO
NEXT WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AT 08Z...987 MB SFC LOW WAS OVER FAR ERN LONG ISLAND SOUND AND
MOVING EAST TOWARD NANTUCKET. TIGHTEST PRESSURE GRADIENT AND CORE
OF 3-HRLY PRESSURE RISES PROGGED BY NAM TO PASS DIRECTLY OVER THE
AREA FROM NOW THROUGH ABOUT 14Z...SO STRONGEST WINDS LIKELY TO
TAKE PLACE DURING THAT TIME VIA STRONG ISALLOBARIC ACCELERATION
TOWARD THE EAST...WITH GUSTS CLOSE TO 60 MPH MOST OF THE AREA
ESPECIALLY NYC METRO AND COASTAL SECTIONS...AND PERHAPS AS HIGH AS
65-70 MPH ACROSS EASTERN LONG ISLAND AS THE LOW PULLS AWAY AND
CONTINUES RAPIDLY INTENSIFYING.
MEANWHILE...COMMA HEAD PRECIP WITH THE LOW WAS TAKING SHAPE OVER
THE AREA...WITH DYNAMIC COOLING AND LOW LEVEL CAA CHANGING PRECIP
OVER TO SNOW NW OF NYC...AND EVENTUALLY ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA.
THERE SHOULD BE A GOOD BURST OF SNOW OVER THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY
INTO CT AND EASTERN LONG ISLAND EARLY THIS MORNING...AND THINK
INTERIOR SECTIONS ESPECIALLY FROM PUTNAM COUNTY EAST SHOULD SEE A
QUICK 2-3 INCH SNOWFALL...WITH TOTALS IN SOME OF THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS ESPECIALLY IN NORTHERN NEW HAVEN AND NEW LONDON
COUNTIES REACHING THE 4-5 INCH RANGE. COASTAL CT AND
CENTRAL/EASTERN LONG ISLAND SHOULD ALSO SEE ACCUMULATING SNOW OF
ABOUT AN INCH...POSSIBLY AS MUCH AS 2 INCHES E OF THE CT RIVER AND
ACROSS THE FORKS OF LONG ISLAND.
THE SNOW COULD ACTUALLY LIMIT WIND POTENTIAL EARLY AS COLUMN
COOLING LIMITS MIXING POTENTIAL...BUT WITH STRONG WINDS OF AT
LEAST ADVY CRITERIA EXPECTED AFTER THE SNOW ENDS...DECIDED TO
STICK WITH A CONSISTENT MESSAGE AND LEAVE THE HIGH WIND WARNINGS
IN PLACE.
AS THE LOW PULLS AWAY...THE ISALLOBARIC COMPONENT TO THE WIND WILL
BE LESS OF A FACTOR...AND GUSTS WILL BE MORE DEPENDENT ON MIXING
DEPTH AND PRESSURE GRADIENT WHICH WILL BE DECREASING. HOWEVER...THE
MIXING DEPTH WILL STILL BE PRETTY LARGE...SO EVEN WITH A DECREASE
IN BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW...GUSTS WILL STILL LIKELY BE FROM NEAR THE
TOP OF THE MIXED LAYER AND AT/CLOSE TO ADVY CRITERIA THROUGH MUCH
OF THE DAY.
HIGH TEMPS TODAY SHOULD BE ONLY IN THE 30S.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
WINDS SHOULD QUICKLY DIMINISH TONIGHT...AND TEMPS ACROSS MOST OF
THE AREA WILL DROP INTO THE 20S AND 30S. PER COLDER MOS
GUIDANCE...UPGRADED MOST OF THE FREEZE WATCH AREA TO A WARNING
EXCEPT FOR AREAS JUST EAST AND WEST OF NYC WHICH SHOULD STAY JUST
ABOVE FREEZING. CLOUDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING CLIPPER SYSTEM...WITH SOME LIGHT OVERRUNNING SNOWS
DEVELOPING LATE TONIGHT MAINLY NW OF NYC...THEN SPREADING EAST
EARLY MON MORNING. THERE COULD BE A WINDOW WHERE INLAND SECTIONS
SEE A WINTRY MIX EARLY MON MORNING BEFORE PRECIP CHANGES TO ALL
RAIN...SO ADDED MENTION OF FREEZING RAIN THERE. SNOW/ICE AMTS WILL
BE ON THE LIGHT SIDE...NO MORE THAN AN INCH OR TWO AND/OR A
LIGHT GLAZE RESPECTIVELY. PRECIP COULD BRIEFLY CHANGE BACK TO SNOW
AS IT TAPERS OFF LATE DAY MON INTO MON EVENING...WITH ONLY AN
ADDITIONAL COATING OF ACCUMULATION EXPECTED.
HIGHS ON MON WILL BE IN THE 40S. LOWS MON NIGHT SHOULD BE NEAR 30
IN NYC...20S MOST ELSEWHERE...PERHAPS UPPER TEENS IN ISOLD INLAND
VALLEY SPOTS.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A WEAK RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE EAST BRIEFLY TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BRINGS IN A REINFORCING COLD AIR MASS.
EVEN THROUGH OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE WELL BELOW NORMAL
NO RECORDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE BROKEN MONDAY NIGHT OR TUESDAY
NIGHT. A RETURN FLOW SETS UP WEDNESDAY AS THE HIGH MOVES OFFSHORE.
A VERY ACTIVE PATTERN CONTINUES THROUGH THE WEEK AS ANOTHER DEEP
UPPER TROUGH MOVES INTO THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES WEDNESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. AT THE SAME TIME STRONG RIDGES BUILDS ACROSS THE
WEST COAST AND OVER THE NORTHWESTERN ATLANTIC. THE RESULTS IN THE
UPPER TROUGH BECOMING NEGATIVE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY WITH
AN UPPER LOW CLOSING OFF THURSDAY. ONE DEEP SURFACE LOW MOVES SLOWLY
THROUGH THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. A WAVE
OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS ON A COLD FRONT ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD
FRIDAY AND IS EXPECTED TO RAPIDLY DEEPEN OFFSHORE AND MOVE ALONG THE
COAST. SO UNSETTLED WEATHER IS FORECAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
NEXT WEEKEND.
