Hail in Connecticut, June 28, 2020

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
410 PM EDT Sun Jun 28 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front slowly pushes east of the area tonight. An upper level
low will remain nearby and a series of weak disturbances will
pass through the area through mid week. A cold front then pushes
through the region on Friday, followed by building Canadian
maritime high pressure for the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
Showers and thunderstorm activity will wain with the loss of daytime
heating and the progression of the cold front to the east during the
late evening. With more in the way of clearing initially
temperatures should get down into the middle 60s to around 70, with
lower 70s across the metro. Depending on the extent of shower and
thunderstorm activity from earlier, a damp wet moist ground will
come into play and could very well lead to fog formation. This would
be the case especially in areas that received more rainfall from any
thunderstorms. Any advection behind the front in the lower levels is
progged to be weak. Thus, areas of patchy fog are more likely for
these aforementioned locations late tonight into early Monday
morning.

There is a moderate risk of rip current development at the Atlantic
Ocean beaches through this evening due to a 3 ft S wind waves and
residual background 1 ft se swell.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
Even in the wake of a weak cold frontal passage any change in
humidity / dew points will be negligible as any low level advection
will be quite weak into the morning. After some early morning patchy
fog across parts of the area a quick break out into sunshine takes
place. It will be continued warm and humid as temperatures by the
afternoon should get a good 5 degrees or so above normal across much
of the area, with immediate coastal areas slightly cooler during the
late afternoon with localized sea breeze effects. The sea breeze and
its extent looks to be harder to nail down for Monday afternoon as
some synoptic flow out of the NNW is in the guidance, albeit weak.

With an upper level low just north of the region and instability
still in place due to an overall lack of air mass change there will
be another chance of scattered to isolated thunderstorm activity.
The current thinking is that the best chance will be across northern
parts of the area, closer in proximity to the upper level low,
rotating shortwaves and steeper mid level lapse rates. The main
threats with any stronger storms would be strong gusty winds, small
hail, and brief heavy rainfall. The hail threat looks slightly less
compared to previous days mainly due to the overall CAPE profile.
Storm organization parameters once again appear somewhat marginal
with storm mode likely multi cellular clusters. Coverage again being
tough to pin down for the afternoon.

With the loss of daytime heating any activity should wane quickly in
into the evening. Skies will generally clear in the wake of any
convective activity. Overall the chances and extent of patchy fog
for late Monday night appear somewhat lower than previous nights,
with any scattered rainfall likely playing a role with perhaps
slightly more separation with early morning dew points and
temperatures.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A closed upper low lingers over Southern New England through
Wednesday before gradually shearing east on Thursday, as the next
closed upper low closes off near New Foundland to end the week. This
will result in unsettled weather for much of the week.

For Tuesday and Wednesday, with cold pool instability aloft, deep
cyclonic flow and rotating shortwave/vorticity energy of upper low
overhead each day, scattered pulse shower and thunderstorm activity
is likely each afternoon/early eve off higher terrain, and along
surface troughing and sea breeze boundary/interactions. Chances
decrease somewhat on Thursday as the low shears to the east, but
still can't rule out some afternoon showers and storms.

As the next upper low closes off over New Foundland, shortwaves
diving around the low into northern New England will help send a
backdoor cold front through the area on Friday. This will usher a
more seasonable Canadian Maritime airmass into the region for the
weekend.

Daytime highs will run near to slightly above seasonable through
Thursday. The temperature forecast on Friday will be tricky as it is
dependent on the timing of the backdoor cold front. A later frontal
passage would allow for well above normal highs, while an earlier
passage would result in more seasonable conditions. Temperatures
will then remain near normal for the weekend.

There will be a moderate risk of rip currents for Tuesday
afternoon mainly due to a SE swell.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Low pressure tracking east through southern Quebec will bring a cold
front across the terminals this evening. Weak low pressure will then
remain east of the terminals through at least Monday.

VFR. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible to around 01Z
with local MVFR. Any thunderstorm may be strong with gusty winds,
torrential rain and possibly hail. Patchy fog and stratus possible
tonight.

Winds SW 10 to 15 kt except southerly along the coast where sea
breezes influences occur. With the passage of a cold front this
evening winds shift to the NW at less than 10 kt, and remain NW
to N late tonight into early Monday morning.

&&

.OUTLOOK FOR 21Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
.Monday...VFR. Isolated shower or storm north of NYC terminals.
.Tuesday-Thursday...Chance showers and thunderstorms with MVFR.
.Friday...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
Conditions are expected to remain below SCA levels across all the
forecast waters today through Wednesday as weak low pressure
remains in the vicinity of the waters. Marginal small craft
seas for the ocean waters will become increasingly likely by
late Wednesday and Wednesday night, especially for the eastern
most ocean waters as there is a chance that ocean seas east of
Moriches Inlet build to near 5 feet with an east to southeast
flow. Seas are then expected to lower slightly Thursday and
Thursday night before building to 4-5 feet on the ocean Friday
afternoon into Friday night.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Slow moving diurnal convection Monday through Thursday will pose a
localized minor flood threat each afternoon. No widespread
hydrologic issues are anticipated through the forecast period.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
The western south shore back bays and some locations in western long
island sound may approach minor coastal flood benchmarks during the
Tuesday and Wednesday late afternoon / evening high tide cycle. A
southeasterly swell is expected to develop. Tides however will not
be particularly high astronomically speaking, thus confidence of
minor benchmarks being met continue to be low at this time.

.EQUIPMENT...
NYC NOAA Weather Radio Station KWO35 (162.55 MHz) is undergoing
its final stages of testing, and is operating at full power.
