Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
1205 PM EDT Mon Jun 19 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front approaches from the west today, then crosses the
Tri-State tonight, followed by a trough of low pressure building
into the area on Tuesday. Weak high pressure builds in Tuesday
night. A weak system crosses the area on Wednesday, followed by
a return to high pressure on Thursday. A series of frontal
systems then cross the area for Friday into the weekend.

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...

...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH 8 PM...

Severe thunderstorm watch coordinated with the Storm Prediction
Center is now in effect through 8 pm. Scattered convection is
already developing ahead of the main cold front.

Main concern today remains the potential for severe weather and
flash flooding. Visible satellite imagery as of 1545Z shows
cloud streets gradually dissipating, indicating that convective
inhibition is eroding. CINH may be somewhat slower to erode
across portions of CT and Long Island where marine influence is
strongest. This is timing well with a leading short wave now
approaching eastern NY/PA, to support gradually intensifying
storms through the early afternoon.

The main impact will be ahead of a slow-moving upper trough and
attendant cold front. A 110-120 kt upper jet moving into the
Northeast will place the area in the favorable rear-quadrant,
enhancing upward motion across a heavily populated corridor.
Strong, largely unidirectional flow and ample forcing for
ascent between a well-defined upper short wave and the
approaching cold front should act to support linear
development, with multiple line segments and/or a larger line
approaching the area from the west this afternoon. Although the
primary threat will be damaging winds, and to a lesser extent
hail, ample heating ahead of the line may support the
development of a pre-frontal trough, allowing surface winds to
back more south-southeast direction. The increasing low-level
wind shear/SRH combined with lowering LCLs as moisture advects
northeastward may support the threat of a tornado or two,
particularly with any discrete convection that can develop ahead
of the line.

The latest SPC outlook shows an enhanced threat of severe
weather across the majority of the forecast area including the
NYC metro, with a slight to marginal risk across eastern CT and
Long Island where a marine influence will prevail.

As the upper trough moves eastward, the forward progression will
gradually be slowed due to a strong Atlantic high pressure
system. Most recent model runs suggest the front may stall
across the area, with southwesterly flow continuing to advect
moisture, represented by 2+ inch PWAT values, across the area.
As such, the threat of flash flooding may linger through the
night. See the hydrology section for more information.

A high risk of rip current development is expected for Atlantic
Beaches into this evening due to persistent SE Swells.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY/...
Mainly eastern areas could experience a few lingering showers
early Tuesday morning as the last shortwave exits to the NE.
Otherwise, the region will be under SW flow aloft on Tuesday,
with a northern stream shortwave passing to the N. Most, if not
all, guidance suggests the core of the forcing with this
shortwave will pass to our north as well, so have gone with a
dry forecast for the remainder of the day.

With a mostly sunny sky on Tuesday across the area by afternoon,
Tuesday should be warmer than today over eastern areas, and around
today's highs over western areas. Most locations should be around
5 degrees above normal.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
An upper level trough swings through the area Tuesday night into
Wednesday. While moisture appears to be limited with this system, it
may be enough to touch off a few showers on Wednesday afternoon.
Weak ridging aloft and an associated surface high then build in for
Thursday, resulting in a mostly sunny day.

Thereafter, model solutions begin to diverge as a series of upper
level disturbances pass through the region from Thursday night into
the weekend. Each of these have the potential to produce showers
and/or thunderstorms, but the exact timing and location of any
precipitation will have to be refined. In general, kept PoPs through
this period to 30% or less. Also worth noting is a tropical
disturbance currently near the Yucatan Peninsula, which has the
potential to feed tropical moisture into the area during the Friday-
Saturday time period. At this point this solution appears somewhat
less likely, but it bears watching nonetheless.

Finally, models differ on the evolution of a longwave trough
developing over the Upper Midwest next weekend, with associated
sensible weather differences for our area on Sunday.

Daytime highs will remain seasonable through the period, with
overnight lows about 5 degrees above normal.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
** HIGH IMPACT WEATHER EVENT WITH POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO SEVERE
 THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING **

A cold front will slowly approach and then move across tonight.

MVFR/IFR conditions are expected to gradually improve to VFR by
afternoon. S-SW winds increase to 12-15kt with gusts 20-25kt by
afternoon at most terminals, and a little stronger at KJFK.

Potential remains for strong to severe tstms this afternoon and
evening, with strong winds and heavy rainfall. Isold-sct
activity has begun at KSWF and just west of KEWR/KTEB. An
organized line of storms should arrive later this afternoon,
and may be slow to move across the lower Hudson Valley and NYC
Metro terminals. Most likely time of impact for NYC metro looks
to be 21Z-24Z, with perhaps some lingering storms until 02Z.
Activity should weaken as it moves east across Long Island and
CT, so impact at KGON/KISP and possibly KBDR should be less than
north/west.

     NY Metro Enhanced Aviation Weather Support...

Detailed information, including hourly TAF wind component fcsts,
can be found at http:/www.weather.gov/zny/n90

KJFK TAF Comments: High confidence through early afternoon.

KLGA TAF Comments: High confidence through early afternoon.

KEWR TAF Comments: AMD possible for any scattered showers/tstms
ahead of main activity late morning and early afternoon.

The KEWR afternoon haze potential forecast is GREEN, which
implies slant range visibility more than 6SM outside of cloud.

KTEB TAF Comments: AMD possible for any scattered showers/tstms
ahead of main activity late morning and early afternoon.

KHPN TAF Comments: AMD possible for any scattered showers/tstms
ahead of main activity early this afternoon.

KISP TAF Comments: Medium confidence on improvement of cigs this
morning and lowering of cigs late today/tonight.

.OUTLOOK FOR 12Z TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
.Tuesday...Becoming VFR during the morning. Lingering showers
possible early at KGON and possibly KISP. SW-WSW winds G15-25KT
possible in the afternoon.
.Tuesday night...VFR. W-NW winds G15-25kt possible.
.Wednesday...A brief period of MVFR is possible with any shower
and/or thunderstorm.
.Wednesday night...VFR.
.Thursday...VFR. SW winds G15-20KT possible in the afternoon.
.Friday...Chance of showers/tstms with MVFR or lower conds.
Gusty S-SW winds.

.MARINE...

...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH 8 PM FOR THE LONG
ISLAND SOUND, NEW YORK HARBOR AND THE SOUTH SHORE OF LONG ISLAND
WEST OF FIRE ISLAND...

Scattered convection is now developing ahead of the main system
and may impact the coastal waters through the early afternoon.
Stronger, more widespread thunderstorms with potentially
damaging wind gusts will be possible later this afternoon into
the evening ahead of a slow-moving cold front.

Outside of thunderstorms, a strengthening low-level jet today
should support gusts to SCA levels on all waters, continuing
into tonight. By Tuesday morning, though winds should subside to
15 kt or less, but it appears seas, at least in the outer
portion of the coastal ocean zones, should remain around 5 ft,
so have extended the SCA there through 22z Tuesday.

Seas on the ocean waters will likely remain above 5 ft due to
residual southerly swells into Wednesday morning. Otherwise,
expecting sub SCA conditions across the waters until Friday
afternoon into the weekend when waves on the ocean could again reach
5 ft. Winds should remain below SCA criteria through the period.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
For the western parts of the region (Nassau County and west as
well as New Haven County and west), there will be a chance of
flash flooding from this afternoon into tonight. This is where
there is total basin average rainfall between 1 and 2 inches
expected...with locally higher amounts possible (maybe 3+").
Rainfall rates in excess of 1-2"/hr are possible in any training
deep convection.

To the east, with the bulk of the rain occurring at night, as
the convection should naturally weaken, less than 1" is
expected (with locally higher amounts) so mainly poor
drainage/urban flooding would be the main threat there.

No hydrologic impacts are anticipated Tuesday-Sunday.
