AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
440 PM EST WED FEB 24 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH OF THE WATERS THIS EVENING. A COLD
FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS LATE TONIGHT AS STRONG LOW PRESSURE PASSES
TO THE WEST. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL PASS TO THE SOUTH FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. LOW
PRESSURE PASSES TO THE NORTH SUNDAY. ANOTHER LOW WILL APPROACH BY
EARLY TO MID NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
WARM FRONT IS THROUGH LONG ISLAND...NYC AND SE CT...AND WILL BE
LIFTING THROUGH MOST OF THE AREA BY EVENING...THOUGH IT COULD GET
HUNG UP FOR A TIME ACROSS THE INTERIOR VALLEYS WHERE COLDER AIR IS
STILL DRAINING DOWN FROM THE MID HUDSON AND CT RIVER VALLEYS.
TEMPS IN THE WARM SECTOR HAVE RISEN QUICKLY INTO THE 50S...WITH
S-SE WINDS GUSTING UP TO 35 KT ESPECIALLY ALONG SOUTH FACING
SHORES. SHOWERY CONDS EXPECTED THIS EVENING...WITH TEMPS AND WINDS
CONTINUING TO SLOWLY INCREASE. FOG OVER THE AREA MAY DISSIPATE FOR
A TIME AFTER WARM FROPA...THEN AS VERY MOIST AIR MASS WITH
DEWPOINTS INTO THE 50S SPREADS IN...THE FOG SHOULD REDEVELOP AND
MAY BECOME DENSE ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST.
WATCHING LINE OF TSTMS TAKING SHAPE OVER VIRGINIA...THAT SHOULD
LIFT NORTH WITH APPROACHING COLD FRONT AND TRIPLE-POINT LOW.
THIS LINE HAS POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS OR AN ISOLD
TORNADO...ESPECIALLY IN/NEAR BOWING SEGMENTS...GIVEN COMBO OF HRRR
FCST 0-1 KM HELICITY OF 500-600 M2/S2...0-1KM BULK SHEAR OF 60-70
KT...AND SOME SFC-BASED INSTABILITY. SMALL HAIL ALSO POSSIBLE.
BEST SVR POTENTIAL IS FROM NYC METRO NORTH/WEST...BUT HEAVY RAINS
ON NOSE OF LLJ ALSO COULD MIX DOWN VERY STRONG WINDS OUT AHEAD OF
THE LINE IN THE WIND ADVISORY AREA.
SEE HYDROLOGY SECTION FOR RAINFALL AND FLOODING ISSUES.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
CONDITIONS DRY OUT BEHIND THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE THU
MORNING...AROUND DAYBREAK GIVE OR TAKE A COUPLE OF HOURS.

AND A GUSTY SW FLOW. TEMPS WILL HOLD NEARLY STEADY IN THE UPPER
40S TO AROUND 50.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AFTER ANALYSIS OF NWP MODELS ALOFT...IT APPEARS THAT CLOSED LOW
WOBBLES AROUND HUDSON BAY...AS SHORTWAVE ENERGY ROUNDS THE BASE OF
THE MAIN TROUGH AT VARIOUS TIMES DURING THIS TIME FRAME.
SFC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS WELL TO THE SOUTH THROUGH FRIDAY BEHIND THE
FRONT WITH A TIGHT NW PRESSURE GRADIENT WEAKENING IN TIME.
VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE TROUGH TRAVERSES ACROSS CENTRAL CANADA...WITH A
DEEP SFC LOW TRACKING TOWARD HUDSON BAY...WELL TO OUR NORTH THIS
WEEKEND. IT APPEARS THAT THE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM
APPROACHES...BUT DOES NOT MOVE THROUGH LATE THIS WEEKEND.
THEN ENERGY THAT MOVES ACROSS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST...ONE OF THE
AFOREMENTIONED SHORTWAVES...QUICKLY MARCHES ACROSS THE
COUNTRY...WITH A SFC LOW RIDING ALONG THE FRONT. PER LATEST
GFS/ECMWF...THE LOW WILL TRACKS TO OUR NORTH MONDAY...WITH AN
ATTENDANT COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH DURING THE DAY. HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS...BUT ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE MAY APPROACH FROM THE MID WEST IN
WAA REGIME BY MID WEEK...WITH MODEL DIFFERENCES NOTED.
AS FOR SENSIBLE WEATHER...GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED.
NEXT CHANCE WOULD BE BRIEF SHOWERS MONDAY AHEAD OF THE FRONT.
COOLER...NEAR SEASONABLE TEMPS FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY WILL WARM
TO ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS SUNDAY AND MONDAY IN WAA AHEAD OF THE LOW.

GALE WARNING CONTINUES FOR ALL WATERS TONIGHT DUE TO A STRONG
SOUTHERLY JET AND CONVECTION MOVING ACROSS THE WATERS.
SCA CONDITIONS LIKELY ON THU DUE TO A STRONG SW FLOW BEHIND THE
COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE IN THE MORNING.
A DENSE FOG ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL WATERS FOR TONIGHT...
AS HIGH DEW POINT AIR MOVES ACROSS RELATIVELY COOLER WATERS.
SW-W GALES EXPECTED LATE DAY THU INTO THU NIGHT...AND NEAR GALE
FORCE GUSTS IN NW FLOW ON FRIDAY. THESE WINDS WILL DIMINISH AS
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT LOOKS TO RELAX FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY AS
THE WINDS BEGIN TO BACK TOWARD THE WEST/SW.
THESE WINDS INCREASE ONCE AGAIN AS THE WATERS REMAINS BETWEEN HIGH
PRESSURE WELL TO THE SOUTH...AND A FRONTAL BOUNDARY SETTLING TO
THE NORTH. AS LOW PRESSURE RIDES ALONG THIS FRONT MONDAY...THE
WINDS WILL REMAIN RATHER GUSTY FROM THE WEST/SW.
ROUGH OCEAN SEAS THURSDAY NIGHT GRADUALLY SUBSIDE FRIDAY THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. THE SEAS BUILD EARLY NEXT WEEK IN INCREASING SW FLOW.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
POTENTIAL FOR 1 TO 1.50 INCHES OF RAINFALL...HIGHEST TO THE NORTH
AND WEST OF NYC. LINE OF TSTMS MOVING IN COULD PRODUCE MUCH OF
THIS IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. MINOR FLOODING OF POOR DRAINAGE
AREAS AND FLASHY RIVERS AND STREAMS ACROSS NRN NJ IS POSSIBLE.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
A COASTAL FLOOD STATEMENT HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE SOUTH SHORE BACK
BAYS OF NASSAU FOR THE EVENING HIGH TIDE CYCLE. MOST OF THE
GUIDANCE...ETSS...ESTOFS..SBSS...AND THE SFAS ALL KEEP WATER
LEVEL BELOW MINOR COASTAL FLOOD BENCHMARKS AS A SOUTHERLY GALE
DEVELOPS TONIGHT. HOWEVER...THE UPPER END OF THE SFAS ENSEMBLE
DOES PRODUCE MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING AT FREEPORT WITH THE SBSS
INTO THE MINOR CATEGORY. THUS...THE NEED FOR THE STATEMENT
ADDRESSING LOCALIZED MINOR COASTAL FLOODING. THE TIME THE FLOW
RAMPS UP DOES NOT COINCIDE WITH THE HIGH TIDE WHICH IS A LIMITING
FACTOR AS WELL.
TIDAL DEPARTURES OF GENERALLY 2 TO 2 1/2 FT ARE NEEDED FOR MINOR
COASTAL FLOODING.
