Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
420 PM EDT THU AUG 11 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
Bermuda ridging will remain in control through the
weekend...continuing oppressive heat and humidity over the Tri-
State Region. A cold front approaches on Sunday and may linger in
the vicinity of the Tri-State region through midweek.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
Scattered thunderstorms were blossoming across the forecast area
at 20Z. LAPS analysis indicates around 3000 J/kg of surface based
CAPE across the entire area. Despite the weak shear, the high CAPE
and moisture content will make the deepest thunderstorms conducive
to wet microbursts. Any clusters of storms that become rooted
along surface boundaries will be capable of producing flash
flooding. Furthermore, these boundaries will enhance low level
shear, allowing some degree of low level rotation and an increased
severe threat.
Thunderstorm coverage and intensity is expected to increase
overnight, however, residual boundaries may provide a focus for
additional development. The NAM seems to suggest this possibility.
As a result have maintained low chances through the night.
The borderline moderate to high risk for rip current development
continues through this evening.
Heat indices have spiked across most of the area into the 100-104
range. Heat products have been issued and extended through the
weekend for all but the Twin Forks of Long Island and coastal New
London county.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
The airmass will remain relatively unchanged for Friday, so most
areas will reach heat advisory criteria. Some pockets of indices up
to 105 indices are possible, especially across the usual hot spots
in the Connecticut River Valley, northeastern New Jersey and New
York City. Because of the two hour criteria and zone coverage
requirements, an excessive heat warning was not issued.
Thunderstorms will again be possible, mainly in the afternoon and
early evening. Precipitable water around 2.5 inches, so the heavy
rain threat remains. Decreased chances again overnight, but there
will still be a chance for residual convection, depending on how
things evolve in the afternoon and evening.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Oppressive heat and humidity continues through Sunday as Bermuda
ridging remains in control.
Max temperatures in the lower to mid 90s are expected for a majority
of the region Sat and Sun afternoon...with dewpoints in the mid
70s. Widespread heat indices 100 to 105 degrees are expected with
some areas such as Northeast NJ...NYC...and surroundings likely
exceeding excessive heat warning values of 105 degrees on Saturday
and Sunday afternoon. Excessive heat watches have been issued for
most of the region to address the high heat index potential.
Weak vort energy moving around the Bermuda ridging...combined
with with moderate diurnal instability...deep moisture...and
convergence along weak boundaries (lee trough, sea breeze,
outflow) will allow for scattered showers and thunderstorms to
develop Saturday and Sunday, mainly in the afternoon to early
evening hours and for NYC metro and interior each day. Tropical
moisture across the region will allow any thunderstorms to produce
torrential rainfall, and weak steering flow will portend an
increased flash flood threat as thunderstorms will be slow moving.
A secondary wet microbursts threat is there as well with deep
moisture aloft...but steep low-level lapse rates and modest
inverted V signature at the surface.
Increased coverage of showers and thunderstorms is possible Sunday
and Sunday Night as upper level trough and frontal boundary
approach...but latest trend has been a slightly slower approach of
the frontal boundary as Bermuda ridging holds strong and northern
stream shortwave energy shears out as it moves east from the Great
Lakes towards New England.
Solutions continue to diverge early next week on southward
progression of the frontal boundary with Bermuda ridging slow to
relent. Confidence is increasing that the weak cold front may
becoming hung up over the area early into possibly middle of next
week. This will maintain chance for scattered shower and
thunderstorm activity and a continuation of very warm and humid
conditions. 90 degree temps may continue for the nyc/nj metro into
midweek, although not at the high heat and humidity levels of the
weekend.
Bermuda ridging appears that it may finally begin to break down late
in the week...allowing for a more seasonable airmass.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SHRA/TSRA developing over the NY Airspace, and will continue to
develop into this evening. Primarily a VFR forecast, but conditions
could briefly dip to MVFR, possibly IFR, should TSRA pass over the
terminals.
Low confidence on development of fog tonight, except for
terminals away from KNYC. Will TEMPO reductions in VSBY there late
tonight and into Friday morning.
Models indicating a wave of +SHRA around daybreak Friday,
persisting through the morning departure bank. For now, will carry
a PROB30 group for MVFR conditions in +SHRA. IFR conditions
possible.
W-SW winds 8-12 KT, and S winds 8-12 KT for coastal terminals due
to sea breezes will become SW 5-7 KT this evening. SW flow
persists tonight through Friday, and strengthens Friday
afternoon.

KHPN TAF Comments: +SHRA/TSRA development into this evening.

.OUTLOOK FOR 20Z Friday through Tuesday...
.Friday afternoon through Monday...Mainly VFR. Isolated to
scattered +SHRA/TSRA may result in brief IFR conditions.
.Tuesday...VFR. MVFR or lower possible Tuesday night.
&&
.MARINE...
Southwest flow will increase tonight, with small craft advisory
level winds and seas developing on the ocean. These hazardous
conditions will continue through Friday night. Elsewhere, the main
threat will be from scattered to isolated thunderstorms, which will
produce limited visibility, lightning, and perhaps strong winds.
SCA possible on the ocean waters Sat into Sun for marginal wind
gusts and seas. Conditions are likely to fall to sub advisory early
next week due to a weaker pressure gradient.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
With precipitable waters remaining generally between 2 and 2.5
inches, any thunderstorms that develop through the weekend will
be capable of producing torrential rainfall. With storm motion
generally expected to be less than 20 kt, there will be the threat
of localized flash flooding from any slower moving strong storm.
