A rapidly intensifying low pressure developed along the Middle Atlantic during the early morning hours on March 2, 2018. The low moved slowly off the coast and became nearly stationary near the 40 N/70 W benchmark. The storm brought winter storm conditions to portions of Northeast New Jersey, especially in the higher elevations.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
703 PM EST Thu Mar 1 2018
.SYNOPSIS...
A major coastal low will impact the area late tonight through
Saturday morning. Deepening low pressure east of Long Island
Friday morning will remain nearly stationary before tracking
slowly southeast Friday night into Saturday. High pressure then
builds in for the second half of the weekend with another coastal
storm possible for the middle of next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
Forecast on track with just some minor adjustments to reflect
latest observations. Overnight lows were adjusted upwards just a
degree or two.
Models are in good agreement with the phasing of shortwave
energy between the two branches of the polar jet, resulting in a
closed low tracking southeast from the Ohio Valley tonight and
into the northern Mid Atlantic states by daybreak. Multiple
frontal waves along an approaching warm front will consolidate
into one main low south of eastern Long Island by morning. This
low undergoes rapid intensification during this period.
Overrunning rain ahead of the approaching warm front spread in
from the SW this evening and overspread the entire area by
midnight. The first phase of the storm will be driven by strong
isentropic lift, and then transitions to strong dynamical
forcing with the approaching upper low and offshore
cyclogenesis. Rainfall totals by morning should be around an
inch with higher amounts possible. Temperature profiles support
this phase of the storm being all rain. It is possible though
that some wet snow could mix in across the higher elevations of
Orange County in the Lower Hudson Valley toward daybreak.
Temperatures overnight will remain unseasonably warm, with lows
ranging from the mid 30s well north and west, to around 40 at
the coast.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Once again, model consensus on the track of a major coastal low
is in good agreement. Strong differences though continue within
the boundary layer of the global and high resolution models,
such that precipitation type and amount of momentum transfer of
high winds varies considerably. The NAM WRF continues to have a
cold boundary layer with the potential for significant wet
snowfall accumulations even down to the coast. However, the GFS,
ECMWF and some of the high res models mainly confine snow to
the higher elevations. There is no source of low-level cold air
and the atmosphere itself from strong forcing will be the primary
source. During this event, it is quite likely that as the
intensity of the precipitation varies, so will the precipitation
type. The main emphasis will be across elevations above 800
feet across the interior, where warning level snows are likely.
Down in the valley locations of interior NE NJ, SW CT, and the
Lower Hudson Valley there could be advisory level snows. Thus, a
Winter Storm Warning has been issued for Orange County, with
advisories for Putnam, Western Passaic, and Northern Fairfield.
The cooling of the vertical column looks to be most pronounced
during the late morning and afternoon hours Friday as the
offshore low occludes and the influx of warmer air aloft from
the Atlantic shuts off. A snow and rain mix will likely even get
to the coast by mid to late afternoon with the possible
exception of far eastern Long Island and southeast Connecticut.
Keep in mind, there is the potential for several inches of wet
snow accumulation at the coast should some of the cold solutions
come to fruition in conjunction with heavy banded precipitation.
Liquid equivalent totals are still 2 to 3 inches. A flood watch
remains up for all but Orange County, where snowfall total will
likely keep the flooding potential down. Have maintained the
watch everywhere else as majority of the event is forecast to be
in the form of rain with temperatures above freezing.
As for the wind threat, have expanded the high wind warning to
include all of Long Island, NYC, southern Westchester, and
coastal Connecticut. The remainder of the high wind watch has
been converted to a wind advisory. The wind advisory will be
included within the winter weather headlines across Orange,
western Passaic, Putnam, and northern Fairfield. The stronger
winds should hold off until the afternoon and evening, so have
adjusted the start time until 16z. Will let the wind headlines
run through 11z Saturday, but the winds should drop off a bit
after midnight Friday. There is still some uncertainty with
regards to how much mixing will occur during the period of
strongest winds Friday afternoon and evening. The NAM is colder
and thus depicting less mixing, but feel the GFS is too warm in
the boundary layer and showing too much mixing. Have taken a
middle ground approach on the winds and feel the highest
confidence seeing gusts 58 mph or greater is closest to the
coast. Further inland, colder temperatures and slightly weaker
low level winds should prevent any widespread wind gusts to 58
mph or higher. Wind gusts will gradually weaken on Saturday, but
could still gust 30-35 mph.
Winds and precipitation gradually ramp down overnight Friday.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
The intense coastal storm continues to meander across the western
Atlantic as high pressure pushes in from the north. Expecting
precipitation to be done by Saturday morning, just a few lingering
showers possible across the eastern end of Long Island. A tight
pressure gradient remains across the region during the day on
Saturday, with gusty north winds. Gusts across Long Island and
coastal CT will be near 35 kt in the morning, lowering 25 to 30 kt
in the afternoon. The pressure gradient will begin to slacken
Saturday night into Sunday, with most areas seeing winds
diminishing, however eastern Long Island could still see gusts up to
25 kt on Sunday.
High pressure then builds down moving into the northeast for the
rest of the weekend before weakening on Tuesday.
There is potential for another coastal storm to develop next week,
with both the GFS and the Euro indicating another low developing off
the Mid-Atlantic coast Tuesday night into Wednesday. However, there
are differences in the upper level pattern leading to a lot of
uncertainty at this time. The precipitation type looks to be a
combination of rain and snow but will depend on strength, speed and
location of this system.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Low pressure develops to the south tonight and intensifies southeast
of Montauk on Friday.
VFR early this evening. Rain will spread north and east from the
city terminals. Conditions eventually fall to IFR overnight in
rain.
IFR ceilings and visibilities continue Friday morning in rain,
or a rain/snow mix.
ESE-E winds will back to the E-NE this evening. Speeds increase
overnight as winds back to the north/northeast toward morning.
North/NW winds are expected later Friday morning.

.Sunday-Monday...VFR.
.Tuesday...VFR with rain possible late or at night.
&&
.MARINE...
As low pressure begins to intensify tonight, winds increase and
seas build. Storm force conditions develop Friday morning into
on all waters. Have therefore converted the storm watch on the
Harbor and western Sound to a Storm Warning. These conditions
will continue into Friday night before gradually diminishing on
Saturday with gale force conditions expected as intense low
pressure meanders over the Western Atlantic. There remains a
chance for hurricane force gusts on the waters east of Moriches
inlet Friday into Friday evening.
Gale force winds are still anticipated on the waters east of
Moriches inlet Saturday night. Overall, winds will be trending down
at this point as the coastal low pulls further offshore. SCA
criteria wind gusts will then extend into Monday, before falling
below criteria Monday night. Ocean seas will likely remaining at SCA
levels throughout the period.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
Two to three inches of rain/liquid equivalent are forecast with
the storm tonight through Friday night. Higher amounts are
possible with this event depending on where banded precipitation
sets up. A Flood Watch is in effect for all but Orange and
Western Passaic County, where a transition to snow is now
appearing more likely. Flooding of smaller streams and rivers as
well as poor drainage flooding is possible. Coastal flooding
may enhance the flood threat.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
A powerful coastal storm will impact the region tonight through
Saturday with 24-36 hrs of N/NE Gale to storm force winds.
Impacts could even linger into Sunday as the powerful storm
slowly departs.
With E/NE winds just ramping up this evening, only brief and
localized minor flooding is expected at this time along Western
LI sound and Southern bays of Queens/LI.
Surge guidance has come into better agreement with moderate
coastal flood thresholds being reached along the southern bays
of Nassau County and Jamaica Bay for Friday morning high tides.
Elsewhere generally minor coastal impacts expected.
There is quite a bit of model spread for the Friday Night high
tidal cycle, with competing factors of increasing energetic
easterly swells and ekman pumping versus strong offshore winds.
At this point a middle of the road approach has been continued,
with potential for moderate coastal flooding for the southern
bays of LI and Queens and twin forks of LI and even for locally
moderate impacts along the north shore of LI due to to 3 to 5
ft wave action. Elsewhere generally minor impacts are expected.
With only around 1 to 1 1/2 ft surge needed for minor flooding
and 2 to 2 1/2 ft for moderate flooding during the high tide
cycles Saturday into Saturday Night, the potential for several
tidal cycles of minor to moderate coastal flooding continues.
Ekman pumping and energetic easterly swell energy along with
weakening offshore flow should help water levels continue to
build along the coast. It is not out of the question that this
threat continues into Sunday. At this time there is only a low
probability of isolated major coastal flooding during Saturday
high tides for the south shore bays. NOTE: For those with
concerns along the bays areas, if moderate water levels are
exceeded for several tidal cycles, flooding may linger well
after high tides as well.
Finally, the USGS coastal hazard viewer is depicting potential
for a prolonged threat for areas of dune erosion and localized
washovers Sat thru Mon.
Confidence and clarity on local coastal impact details for
Friday Night into Saturday Night should increase over the next
24 hrs, so continue to monitor subsequent forecasts for the
latest.
