NWS New York, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at May 26, 5:41 PM EST, 54 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion...CORRECTED
National Weather Service New York NY
641 PM EDT Wed May 26 2021
.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will move across late tonight into early Thursday.
High pressure will then build in from the north for Thursday
into Thursday night but its center will stay well to the
northwest of the region. This will be followed by low pressure
impacting the area Friday into the first half of Saturday. Another
low pressure system may track near the coast for the second half
of the weekend into early next week, while high pressure builds in
from the west.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
Made some adjustments to POPs for showers and thunderstorms to
better match with observations according to radar reflectivity.
Convection moving overall eastward at around 30 kt. Added in
some patchy fog and extra clouds for Eastern Long Island and
into Southeast Connecticut.
Main weather issue through tonight will be the convection this
evening ahead of the cold front. Some of the thunderstorms could
be severe. A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 10 PM
for NYC, Northeast NJ, the Lower Hudson Valley and Fairfield
County Connecticut including NY Harbor. This is where there is
a 50 percent chance for severe thunderstorms. Farther east,
chances for severe thunderstorm diminish due to less CAPE and
less bulk shear but are still in a 20 to 30 percent range.
Overall, think the convective mode will be line segments and
multicells which are expected to become more disorganized as
they move across eastern sections of the region mid to late
this evening as shear becomes less favorable with winds backing
from low to mid levels. HRRR models shows more disorganized
cells late this evening into the overnight with their
reflectivity fields.
Primary threat will be damaging winds but large hail will also
be a possibility. CAPE extends within -10 to -30 degree C region
on forecast soundings, taller for western locations. An isolated
tornado cannot be ruled out but mainly for north and west of
NYC, where relatively highest severe threat exists. This is also
where low level lapse rates are most steep.
The convection is expected to be in place for locations north
and west of NYC to start this evening and then move eastward
into NYC region, SW Connecticut and Western Long Island going
into mid evening followed by Eastern Long Island and SE
Connecticut for late this evening into the overnight.
Bulk shear between 0 and 6km above ground level will be
increasing this evening and will be getting into more of the
30-40 kt range. There is CAPE extending above an inversion
farther east across Long Island, but less total CAPE than
farther west (and with forecast soundings does not extend as
high). The bulk shear will be a little less as well compared to
farther west.
Still have high enough Bulk Richardson numbers forecast to have
a lingering severe thunderstorm probability going into this
evening but overall trend will be decreasing. Eventually late
this evening into overnight, that number decreases enough such
that no severe risk is expected and thunderstorm possibility
will be much reduced as well with any lingering precipitation.
Showers linger overnight mainly across Eastern Long Island and
Southeast Connecticut with dry conditions returning from west to
east late going into daybreak Thursday (2-6 AM). Lows range from
the low to upper 60s.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
The mid level flow becomes zonal. Surface high pressure builds
in but its center will remain primarily north of the Great
Lakes.
Surface high pressure builds in on Thursday and drier air will
be advecting in on a west to northwest flow. Clouds decrease in
the morning, with a mostly sunny day expected. Highs will be
more in the range of upper 70s to lower 80s for most locations.
For Thursday night, winds will become more north to northeast
and clouds will increase from NW to SE late. Still expect some
radiational cooling to have a range of lows from upper 40s
across interior and Pine Barrens of Long Island to mid and upper
50s within NYC.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Global models remain in good overall agreement with taking low
pressure over the Ohio Valley on Friday to the south and east of the
area Friday night into Saturday. Confluent flow across the Northeast
at the start of the period, between an upper vortex across eastern
Canada and the southern branch over the northern Mid Atlantic, will
maintain enough of a high to steer the low far enough south. This
will place the area under a strong north to south pressure gradient.
This is significant for a couple of reasons, one it will keep the
area in moderate to heavy overrunning rainfall event, and two, a
strong E/NE flow will elevate the coastal flood threat Friday night
into Saturday (see TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING section below). The 12Z
NAM appears to be an outlier and is farther north with the surface
low track, resulting in a weaker E/NE flow.
Overrunning rain will develop from west to east Friday afternoon and
will be heaviest in the evening and overnight, tapering off late.
Residual light rain may linger into Saturday morning. Uncertainty
then hinges on whether the southern branch energy cuts off to the
west, as the ECMWF has done the last two cycles. The GGEM has joined
in on this solution. This solution would bring rain back into the
area Saturday night and possibly into Monday. For the time, just
leaning toward lower chances of rain into Monday, with the better
chance being east of the NYC/NJ metro and the Lower Hudson Valley.
This of course is subject to change.
Rainfall amounts have increased across the model suite, with a good
chance of seeing an inch or more of rainfall across the entire
forecast area. Strong, deep-layered lift will reside north of the
low track. This will be the first widespread rainfall event across
the area since May 9-10.
Below normal temperatures for the weekend, but moderating through
early next week as surface high pressure moves offshore with a
return southerly flow and building heights aloft.
There is increasing potential for high risk of rip currents/longshore
current for Saturday and Sunday. Could be looking at marginally
high surf Fri Night into Sat morning as well.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A pre frontal trough develops and moves through late this
afternoon into this evening, followed by a cold front late
tonight into early Thursday morning.
VFR. Thunderstorms becoming likely late in the afternoon and
this evening. Some of the storms may be strong with gusty winds
30-40kt, especially from the NYC metro terminals and north and
west. There is a low chance that a storm will produce small
hail, however, with the uncertainty will not include in the
forecast at this time. MVFR to IFR is likely in the
thunderstorms.
Winds S to SW 10-15kt with gusts up to 20kt this afternoon.
Winds becoming SW to W with the passage of the surface trough,
and then NW with the cold front passage, 5 to around 10kt. Winds
will be NW Thursday, around 310 magnetic at times, 10-15kt with
gusts 15-20kt.
...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty...
Amendments for timing and flight categories as thunderstorms
develop 22Z-02Z.
There is a moderate haze potential for JFK today.
.OUTLOOK FOR 18Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
.Thursday afternoon...VFR. W NW winds with gusts around 20 kt.
.Friday...VFR becoming MVFR to IFR in the afternoon with rain.
Winds E/NE increasing to 15g20kt in the afternoon, mainly along
the coast.
.Friday Night...MVFR/IFR in RA. NE wind 15-20G25-30kt along the
coast.
.Saturday-Sunday...MVFR possible with showers. NE to E gusts
20-25kt along coast.
.Monday...VFR. Slight chance of showers east of the NYC metro
terminals.

&&
.MARINE...
Showers and thunderstorms will move across the waters this
evening, weakening late this evening into overnight. By
overnight, the convection will be mostly across parts of the
eastern ocean and Long Island Sound. Ahead of a cold front,
expecting SW wind gusts to 25 kt to develop into tonight across
the ocean with ocean seas rising to 5 to 6 ft as well. These
conditions lower below SCA criteria late tonight into Thursday
morning. SCA remains in effect for ocean from Sandy Hook NJ to
Moriches Inlet NY until 2AM Thursday and from Moriches Inlet to
Montauk Point until 6AM Thursday. For non-ocean waters, below
SCA seas are expected and wind gusts will be mainly below SCA
thresholds.
For Thursday through Thursday night, below SCA conditions are
expected on all waters.
Strengthening E-NE flow for Friday and Saturday with a coastal low
will likely brings SCA conditions on all waters and potentially
gales for the ocean waters. Ocean seas may build to 7 top 10 ft or
even higher Friday Night into Saturday.
SCA conditions will likely persist through the remainder of the
weekend, especially on the ocean waters due to a persistent NE flow
of 15 to 20 kt with gusts 20 to 30 kt. Winds and seas will gradually
drop off Sunday night into Monday.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
The speed of showers and thunderstorms through tonight are fast
enough to preclude any hydrologic issues. Dry conditions are
forecast Thursday through Thursday night.
Potential for 1 to 1 1/2 inches of rainfall Friday afternoon into
Saturday morning.
Hydrologic impacts should be minimal.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Potential for minor to moderate coastal flood impacts across the W
Great South Bay and Jamaica bay during the Friday night high tide
with a coastal low likely tracking to the south of the region.
Potential for minor coastal flood impacts across vulnerable coastal
areas of W LI Sound and Lower NY Harbor during this time. As little
as 3/4 to 1 1/2 ft surge needed for minor flood impacts with that
tidal cycle.
Minor coastal flood impacts could linger into Sat Night high tidal
cycle.
Easterly swells of 7 to 10 ft, possibly higher, will likely result
in a sweep of 3 to 6 ft surf Friday Night into Saturday, causing
some beach erosion issues. At this point, dune impacts should be
limited to localized and minor.
