Connecticut, 2017Coastal Flood in Connecticut, March 14, 2017
March 14, 2017 · NWS OKX · 2 events in 2 counties and zones
A rapidly deepening low pressure system tracking up the eastern seaboard on Tuesday March 14th brought gale to storm force winds to the area waters, resulting in 2 to 4 feet of surge during the Tuesday morning high tidal cycle. This resulted in widespread minor to moderate coastal impacts to the region.

1152 AM EDT Tue Mar 14 2017
.SYNOPSIS...
Nor'Easter off the Jersey coast passes across eastern Long
Island this afternoon. The storm tracks into Northern Maine
tonight, then through the Canadian Maritimes Wednesday and
Thursday. High pressure moves through the region Thursday and
Friday. Another low pressure system may affect the area Friday
night through next weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 15Z, the Nor'Easter is centered just northeast of Atlantic
City NJ. Winds gusting to 50 to 60 mph along the Jersey coast
and north on to Long Island (the KSWF and KFWN 15Z are believed
erroneous). Buoys south of LI reporting gust to 50 KT and seas
up to 20'.
Satellite imagery has coldest tops moving north and Radar
appears to suggest back end of the PCPN reaching the south shore
of LI around 17Z.
No changes to Advisories/Warnings/Snow amounts at this time.
Rain is producing urban flooding on Long Island.
Mixed PCPN / Snow Line has moved north to central CT and the
lower hudson valley.
Do not expect to much more accumulation.
Precipitation changes to all snow before ending this evening,
but becomes light and showery. Dry overnight.
With temperatures falling below freezing tonight, any water
remaining on roadways could freeze, depending on how quickly
winds come down.
&&
.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY/...
Axis of closed upper low passes tomorrow with isolated to
scattered snow showers possible.
It will remain much below normal, with highs in the upper 20s to
lower 30s.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
By Wednesday night the powerful Nor'Easter will be moving into
the Canadian maritimes, with strong northwesterly flow developing
on the back side of the system. A secondary low-level trough will
move through the Northeast, providing enough instability and lift
for a few snow showers during the evening. Below normal
temperatures are expected with wind chill values in the single
digits Wednesday night. Below normal temperatures and strong and
gusty winds will continue through Thursday as the upper trough
slowly departs. By Friday, a weak deep layered ridge will pass
through the region, allowing winds to weaken and return to a
southwesterly direction. Warm advection should lead to a 5 to 10
degree overall increase in temperatures, though the values will
still remain below climatological normals. By the weekend, an
upper trough and attendant surface front move through from west to
east with a chance of snow and/or rain. Right now the system
appears to be weak, and uncertainty still exists with the track of
the low and amount of any precipitation that will fall.
&&
.AVIATION /15Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
***HIGH IMPACT WEATHER INTO TONIGHT***
An intensifying storm located off the New Jersey coast will
cross over far eastern Long Island this afternoon before moving
up into Maine tonight. Precipitation type varies across the
region, ranging from all snow at KSWF to all rain at KISP and
KGON. At the city terminals, precipitation continues to be a
mix of sleet, snow, and rain. This general precipitation
distribution will continue into the afternoon, with the back
edge of the precipitation approaching Long Island at this time.
There is the possibility that precipitation briefly changes
back to predominantly snow late this afternoon before ending as
cold air filters back in behind the departing low.
Gusty winds will continue through the period, initially out of
the NE before shifting to the NW as the low departs. Expecting
gusts to 35-40 kt along the coast (KJFK/KLGA/KISP/KBDR/KGON),
slightly lower inland.
May have to watch for a brief period of NW winds 40-45kt late
today as precipitation winds down and the low passes by.
Becoming VFR tonight with WNW winds diminishing but still
G25-30KT.

.OUTLOOK FOR 12Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
.Wednesday...SCT snow showers with brief MVFR or lower conds
possible. NW winds G25-30KT.
.Thursday...VFR. NW winds G20-25KT.
.Friday...VFR.
.Friday night...Chance of snow mainly after midnight, with IFR
conds possible. .Saturday..IFR conditions possible. Chance of
snow, changing to rain by afternoon, then changing back to snow
inland and a rain/snow mix at the coast.
&&
.MARINE...
Nor'Easter tracks across the area waters this afternoon with
storm force wind gusts and seas up to 20 feet on the ocean.
Strongest winds will occur through in the next few hours...then
diminish briefly as the low passes and then flip to northwest.
This evening, gusts subside to gale force, however there's
still a chance that the ocean waters east of Moriches Inlet
could see a gust or two to 50 KT early on. Seas on the ocean
15-20 FT with waves up to 10 FT even in Long Island Sound.
For Wednesday and Wednesday night, a tight pressure gradient remains
over the waters, and gales still look likely at least on the ocean
waters and perhaps the eastern Sound and eastern bays as well. SCA
conditions otherwise for the remaining waters.
Winds slowly subside Thursday into Thursday night as a high pressure
ridge moves closer. SCA conds are likely at least through the
evening hours. A brief period of tranquil conditions follows for
Friday as the ridge shifts through, then a return to SCA conds is
possible on Saturday with the approach of the next system.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
1.75 to 2 inches of liquid equivalent precipitation is expected
through this evening. The only hydrologic issues area possible
over coastal SE CT/Southern Nassau and most of Suffolk County
where a mi with rain is expected and a change to all rain quite
possible (highly likely S shore of Long Island). Minor flooding
is possible over this area, especially if there is a completer
change over to all rain. Otherwise...no hydrologic problems are
anticipated.
No hydrologic issues are anticipated from Wednesday through
Friday.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
With a storm track now expected to be close to the coast, confidence
is increasing in more widespread moderate coastal flooding for the
region this morning/afternoon high tidal cycle. Surge amounts are
generally 1/4 to 1/2 ft higher than previous forecasts.
Widespread moderate coastal flooding is expected across NY/NJ harbor
and along Western Long Island Sound...and for the Eastern bays of LI.
Generally 1 to 2 ft of inundation is expected here.
Localized major flooding is possible along the most vulnerable
southern bay locales of Western Long Island...with up to 3 ft of
inundation.
Some minor coastal flooding concerns could linger with tonight's
high tide...particularly along southern bays of LI.
The elevated water levels and a longshore sweep of 6 to 10 ft
breaking surf during the morning/afternoon high tide cycle is
expected to result in areas of dune erosion with localized washovers
possible along the Atlantic ocean beachfront. Less significant beach
erosion issues will likely linger into Wednesday due to residual
southerly swells of 6 to 10 ft.
