Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
750 PM EST Wed Dec 16 2020
.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure to the north will slowly retreat as low pressure
moves northward up the Mid Atlantic coast. This low will
intensify as it approaches the region, turning east and passing
south of Long Island tonight into Thursday. High pressure will
then build in from the west through the first half of the
weekend before moving offshore late in the day Saturday. A
series of weak disturbances will move across the area Sunday and
Monday, followed by a stronger cold frontal passage Monday
night into Tuesday. High pressure will briefly return for the
middle of next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Strong thermal forcing overrunning a 1037mb polar high centered
over eastern Canada, bleeding southward into southern New
England, has resulted in 2-3 inches of snow across portions of
the NYC metro, NE NJ, and Long Island, with snowfall rates of
1-2 inches an hour. This activity will overspread CT and the
Lower Hudson Valley the next couple of hours as cold, dry air
(dew points in the single digits to lower teens) saturates.
Thus far, the NAMNest, the warmer of the solutions aloft, was
handling the thermo profile best when compared to the 00Z OKX
sounding. It was around 0c at 825mb, while the GFS and HRRR were
several degrees cooler. Strong lift though will keep this area
generally isothermal and below freezing the next few hours. The
key here will be the position of the coastal front and how far
north and west the warm nose (around 750 mb) gets overnight.
There is even some evidence that the boundary layer will warm
sufficiently after midnight (due to east winds) for some rain
across eastern sections of Long Island and perhaps coastal SE
CT. The front end dump of snow may make this a moot point with
warning level snows likely achieved before this changeover even
happens later tonight.
Greatest pressure falls of 7mb in the last 3 hours just east of
the Delmarva with a 1004 mb low east Wallops Island, VA. The
low will continue to track northward and hug the coast, as a
negatively tilted shortwave trough works NE across the central
Appalachians. The low will eventually turn east running into the
blocking high over eastern Canada, passing south of Long Island
overnight into Thursday morning.
The primary question remains how far north the low will come
before making its eastward turn, which in turn dictates how
much, if any, warm air is able to work into the area at the
surface and aloft. From a big picture perspective, the models
have been very consistent with the position of the low over the
past 24 hours, with only minor changes from run to run. However,
given how close the low is forecast to come to the region, even
minor changes in the location of the low will have a
significant impact on snowfall totals, especially along the
coast.
In addition, high resolution models are indicating the
potential for a dry slot to develop across Long Island and
perhaps as far north as southern Connecticut. Model soundings
also indicate some loss of saturation in the dendritic growth
zone during this same period, all of which could at the very
least limit the intensity of precipitation, and possibly allow
precipitation to change to drizzle for a period. With that said,
global model soundings remain below freezing throughout the
event, keeping precipitation all snow.
Winds will become more northerly as the low pulls east towards
daybreak, which will allow colder air to filter back into the
region, changing precipitation back to snow everywhere. Snow
will eventually wrap up from west to east from late morning into
the early afternoon.
Snowfall accumulations will range from 12-18 inches across the
Lower Hudson Valley, interior northeast New Jersey, and interior
southwestern Connecticut, where precipitation will remain all
snow. Snow totals will range from 10-15 inches across much of
the New York City metro area and western Long Island, although
totals could be a few inches lower across coastal portions of
Brooklyn, Queens, and Nassau County. Across the rest of Long
Island and far southeastern Connecticut, snowfall totals will
range from 4-12 inches, lowest across the Twin Forks and
immediate south facing coastlines.
In addition to the snow, winds will increase this evening as
the deepening low approaches. Winds could gust to 35-45 mph
across much of the area overnight, with gusts to 45-55 mph
possible across far eastern Long Island. While these winds would
result in blizzard to near-blizzard conditions at times, they
also correspond with the greatest potential for mixing. With
that in mind, made no changes to headlines, with a Winter Storm
Warning remaining in effect for the entire area. While breezy
conditions will continue into the morning as precipitation
changes back to snow, with decreasing snowfall intensity
visibilities should remain above 1/4 mile.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT/...
Winds will gradually diminish Thursday night as the low
continues to move east away from the area. With a fresh
snowpack, lows will range from the lower teens across typically
cooler interior locations to the low 20s along the coast.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Not a whole lot of change in the global models from what we saw
24 hours ago. A progressive, yet amplified upper flow will
feature ridging building in from the west Friday into Saturday
with a broad upper trough reestablishing itself across the NE
quarter of the CONUS Sunday into early next week.
At the surface, high pressure settles over the area late Friday
night into Saturday morning before moving offshore late in the
day. Late Saturday night into Monday, a disjointed upper trough
will send a series of weak shortwaves into the area with a low
chance for light precipitation to the NW of NYC late Saturday
night into the first half of Sunday. It looks cold enough for
for light snow shower activity with little or no accumulation
expected. A cold front will then move across the area Tuesday
morning with some cooler air gradually filtering in through
Wednesday morning. The cold frontal passage looks to be dry, but
a rain or snow shower across the hills well north and west of
NYC is not out of the question.
Temperatures will gradually moderate through the period, with
readings 5 to 10 degrees below normal at the start, to slightly
above normal by early next week. Following a cold frontal
passage Tuesday morning, temperatures will return to near normal
Tuesday night and Wednesday.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
***HIGH IMPACT WINTER STORM IN PROGRESS***
Low pressure moving NNE along the Mid Atlantic Coast tonight will
turn E off the New Jersey coast early Thursday morning, and then
pass S of Long Island through the day on Thursday.
Bands of moderate to heavy snow with LIFR conds are spreading into
the area attm. Some sleet should mix in along the coast for a couple
of hours after 05Z-06Z (KEWR/KJFK/KLGA/KISP and briefly at KTEB),
then precip should change back to light snow after 08Z-09Z.
ENE winds will ramp up quickly this evening to 30-35G40-45kt,
highest at KBDR with its Long Island Sound exposure. Wind shear is
also expected tonight, generally starting after 02Z and ending after
05Z in the NYC metros, and 07Z-08Z farther east. This will occur at
2000 ft with a ENE direction and speed of 50 to 55 kt.
Storm total snowfall of 10-16 inches is expected, with the higher
amts at the terminals NW of NYC.
Snow should gradually taper off from W-E through the day on Thu. VFR
conds with gradually diminishing N winds forecast through the day,
with a chance that MVFR cigs could last through the day.

.MARINE...
Winds will continue to increase on all waters this evening as a
strengthening area of low pressure approaches and moves across
the waters. A Storm Warning is effect on the ocean waters with
gusts 50-55 kt expected overnight. Elsewhere, Gale Warnings
remain in effect, with winds expected to gust to around 40 kt.
In addition, seas will continue to build, with 12-16 ft seas
expected on the ocean by Thursday morning and 3-7 ft on the Long
Island Sound.
Winds will gradually diminish during the day on Thursday,
falling below SCA criteria on all waters by Thursday night,
although ocean seas will continue to remain elevated.
Northerly winds will continue to diminish Friday with high
pressure building across the waters into Saturday. The high
builds offshore late Saturday with a weak return flow into early
next week. Sub SCA conditions are then forecast into early next
week.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
A winter storm will bring liquid equivalent precipitation totals
of 1-1.5 inches through the day on Thursday, with the majority
falling through Thursday morning. Any melting should be slow as
high temperatures remain below 40 until the weekend.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Surge is expected to build to 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 ft in most spots across
Lower NY/NJ harbor, W LIS, and south shore bays of W LI on NE winds
ramping up to solid gale/marginal storm force this evening.
Widespread moderate coastal impacts are expected along the south
shore bays of Nassau County. Along W LI Sound, combo of 3-5 ft surf
and elevated water levels will bring minor to moderate coastal
impacts for shoreline roads and properties, particularly coastal
Westchester and NW LI.
Storm surge will likely peak out at 4-5 ft in spots tonight
during time of low tide, but then is likely to settle back to 2
1/2 to 3 1/2 ft during the times of high tide Thu
morning/afternoon as winds shift to the north. These water
levels, during a higher astronomical tide Thu AM/early aft, will
bring potential for more widespread minor to moderate coastal
impacts with Thursday morning/early aft high tide. Highest
probability of widespread moderate coastal flood impacts (2 to
locally 3 ft inundation) is along vulnerable south shore bays of
LI and Queens with limited tidal drainage, with widespread
minor to locally moderate impacts (1 to locally 2ft inundation)
elsewhere. Have stayed close to deterministic surge guidance and
NYHOPS weighted mean, with expectation of wind shifting to a
less conducive N flow for surge. Will have to monitor guidance
trends.
