AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
806 PM EDT THU AUG 22 2019
SYNOPSIS
A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE
THEN BUILDS TO THE NORTH FRIDAY THROUGH THIS WEEKEND, AND
ACROSS THE CANADIAN MARITIMES EARLY NEXT WEEK. LOW PRESSURE MAY
PASS SOUTH AND EAST OF THE LOCAL AREA DURING THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK, FOLLOWED BY A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT LATE IN THE WEEK.
NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN ASSOCIATION WITH AN APPROACHING
COLD FRONT ARE MOVING THROUGH PORTIONS OF THE LOWER HUDSON
VALLEY AND NORTHEAST NEW JERSEY AS OF 8 PM. THESE STORMS MAY BE
STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE, ESPECIALLY IN NEW JERSEY INTO
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF NEW YORK CITY, WHERE A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WARNING WAS ISSUED UNTIL 845 PM. ALSO, SOME SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP OUT AHEAD OF THIS BOUNDARY, SO LESSER
CHANCES FOR TOWARDS EASTERN AREAS, UNTIL THIS MAIN AREA OF
SHOWERS MOVES EAST WITH THE COLD FRONT.
THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PASS THROUGH OVERNIGHT. SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH, AND IT
APPEARS THAT OUTSIDE OF THE ACTIVITY CURRENTLY NW OF THE CITY,
THE BETTER COVERAGE WILL ARRIVE TOWARDS MIDNIGHT AS LIFT IS
ENHANCED BY A LOW LEVEL JET MOVING THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA.
THIS JET WILL ALSO PROVIDE SOME WIND SHEAR TO MAINTAIN A CHANCE
OF STRONG WIND GUSTS WITH SOME THUNDERSTORMS, BUT THE OVERALL
THREAT OF ANY SEVERE WIND GUSTS IS LOW AS CAPE WILL BE
DIMINISHING BY THIS POINT. FLASH FLOODING WOULD BE A LOW THREAT
GIVEN THE FORWARD SPEED OF THE STORMS. RAIN CHANCES THEN
DIMINISH TOWARDS DAYBREAK.
HEAT INDEX VALUES SO FAR WITHIN THE ADVISORY HAVE BEEN
PRIMARILY BELOW 95, AND ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN THAT WAY FOR THE
REST OF THE DAY. HAVE THEREFORE CANCELLED THE HEAT ADVISORY.
A MODERATE RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS INTO THIS EVENING ALONG THE
OCEAN BEACHES.
SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/
MORNING SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE WITH AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL
JET COMBINING WITH LINGERING MOISTURE. ALTHOUGH THE RIGHT
ENTRANCE REGION OF THIS JET WILL BE APPROACHING US THROUGH THE
DAY, THE DRYING AND STABLE AIRMASS BUILDING IN BEHIND THE COLD
FRONT WILL COUNTERACT THIS, SO DRY IN THE AFTERNOON. MID AND
UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS PROBABLY LINGER HOWEVER, AND CHANCES OF A
MOSTLY CLEAR SKY IMPROVE TOWARDS THE END OF THE DAY. DEWPOINTS
WILL BE IN THE 50S SO IT WILL FEEL MUCH LESS HUMID THAN IT HAS
BEEN, AND HIGH TEMPERATURES END UP A FEW DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.
FURTHER CLEARING OF THE SKY OCCURS FRIDAY NIGHT WITH HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING IN. LOWS DROPPING INTO THE 50S FOR THE
NORTHERN SUBURBS AND PINE BARRENS REGION.
THERE IS A MODERATE RIP CURRENT RISK FRIDAY ALONG THE OCEAN
BEACHES.
LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/
LATEST NWP MODEL SUITE SHOWING GOOD AGREEMENT ACROSS NORTH
AMERICA INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. BY TUE, THE GLOBAL MODELS DEVIATE
SIGNIFICANTLY OFF THE EAST COAST ALONG WITH TIMING AND AMPLITUDE
DIFFERENCES WITH A TROUGH/CUTOFF OVER SOUTH CENTRAL CANADA AND
INTO THE PLAINS.
A DRY, COOLER AND LESS HUMID AIRMASS PREVAILS OVER THE WEEKEND
WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE 70S, WHICH IS BELOW NORMAL FOR THIS
TIME OF YEAR. AS DEEP LAYERED RIDGING BUILDS FROM THE WEST, A
WEAK CUTOFF LOW DEVELOPS OVER THE NORTHEAST. NOT EXPECTING ANY
SHOWERS AS A RESULT OF THIS WITH THE LACK OF A COLD POOL ALOFT.
HOWEVER, AS THE ASSOCIATED SFC HIGH BUILDS TO THE NORTH ACROSS
SE CANADA AND INCREASING EASTERLY FLOW WILL DEVELOP. THIS
PATTERN IS INDICATIVE OF STRATUS DEVELOPMENT AND POSSIBLY SOME
LIGHT RAIN OR DRIZZLE SUN/SUN NIGHT. THIS FEATURE LIFTS NORTH
AND EAST ON MON, AS ANOTHER LOW OFF THE CAROLINA APPROACHES.
THE ENERGY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW IS CURRENTLY IN THE BAHAMAS
AND NEEDS TO BE WATCHED OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS FOR TROPICAL
DEVELOPMENT. ALTHOUGH BOTH THE GFS AND EC TRACK IT WELL SOUTH
AND EAST OF THE LOCAL AREA MID NEXT WEEK, WHILE THE CMC SHEARS
IT APART OFF THE COAST OF FLORIDA.
MEANWHILE, AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE PLAINS GRADUALLY
TRAVERSES EAST THROUGH THU BUT AS MENTIONED ABOVE THERE ARE
TIMING AND AMPLITUDE DIFFERENCES WITH THIS SO THE TIMING OF THE
ASSOCIATED FRONTAL SYSTEM IS UNCERTAIN. TEMPS WILL INCREASE BACK
TO NORMAL LEVELS WED AND THU WITH HIGHER HUMIDITY LEVELS AS WELL
DUE TO A SOUTHERLY FLOW.
AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH LATE OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY
MORNING.
MAINLY VFR, WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH
06Z, MOVING EAST NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE TERMINALS. BRIEF MVFR
CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THE STORMS.
WINDS ARE VARIABLE AND GENERALLY LIGHT, LESS THAN 10 KT. WINDS
WILL BECOME NW TO N AS THE FRONT MOVES INTO THE TERMINALS, AND
INCREASE TO AROUND 10 KT. N TO NW WINDS CONTINUE THROUGH
FRIDAY.
