AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
732 AM EDT TUE JUL 29 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A BROAD AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE JUST OFF THE
COAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY NIGHT...WHILE WEAK UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCES PASS ACROSS. A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT AND ASSOCIATED
WAVES OF WEAK LOW PRESSURE MAY DEVELOP THIS WEEKEND ALONG THE
COAST...AND REMAIN INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
DRY AIRMASS BUILDS IN TODAY...OTHERWISE THERE WOULD BE ENOUGH
INSTABILITY FOR A FEW TSTMS WITH LOW HEIGHTS AND JULY SUN. PW/S
ONLY AROUND 60 PERCENT OF NORMAL...SO HAVE KEPT THE DRY FCST
GOING. TEMPS WILL HIT CONVECTIVE SO SCT TO OCNL BKN CU FOR THE
AFTN.

THE FAIR WX CLOUDS BEGIN TO DISSIPATE TNGT...BUT LINGERING
MOISTURE COULD END UP TRAPPED IN THE 4-7K FT RANGE.

TEMPS TODAY CLOSE TO GMOS AND TNGT CLOSER TO THE MET.

MDT RISK FOR RIPS TODAY ON THE OCEAN.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY/...
MODELS PUT OUT SOME SPOTTY LIGHT PCPN WED...BUT THE TIME HEIGHTS
INDICATE GENERAL SUBSIDENCE WHICH WOULD TEND TO LIMIT VERTICAL
DEVELOPMENT AND INHIBIT ANY TRIGGER. AS A RESULT HAVE ONLY
INCLUDED ISOLD SPRINKLES ACROSS THE INTERIOR. INCREASING MOISTURE
APPEARS TO COME IN TOO LATE TO COINCIDE WITH PEAK HEATING TO HAVE
ANY SUBSTANTIAL INFLUENCE ON INSTABILITY ATTM. CLOUD COVER
ADJUSTED UPWARD TO SCT-BKN WITH TEMPS AGAIN ABV CONVECTIVE. TEMPS
CLOSE TO GMOS.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
A CLOSED LOW OVER ONTARIO AND QUEBEC WILL DOMINATE FOR THE SECOND
HALF OF THE WEEK. A WEAK MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE PIVOTING AROUND THIS
LOW COULD TRIGGER AN ISOLD LATE DAY SHOWER ACROSS THE INTERIOR ON
THU. COULD ALSO SEE SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS AGAIN FRI AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING WITH ANOTHER WEAK SHORTWAVE AND GREATER INSTABILITY.

AS THE CANADIAN CLOSED LOW WEAKENS OVER THE WEEKEND...A PORTION WILL
DROP INTO THE GREAT LAKES AND OH VALLEY...WHILE AN UPPER HIGH
STRENGTHENS OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. THE STRENGTHENING UPPER HIGH
WILL PUSH AN OFFSHORE FRONTAL ZONE BACK TOWARD THE COAST...WHILE THE
INLAND TROUGH INDUCES WEAK WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE ALONG IT AND/OR
TRIGGERS SCT DIURNAL CONVECTION. ECMWF AND GGEM ARE MORE AGGRESSIVE
WITH THIS SCENARIO THAN THE GFS...BUT DIFFER ON TIMING. ATTM DECIDED
TO INCORPORATE ASPECTS OF BOTH INTO THE FORECAST DURING THIS TIME
WITH SOME DIURNAL FLUCTUATION...WITH CHANCE POP SAT INTO SAT EVENING
AND AGAIN SUNDAY AFTERNOON/NIGHT.

THE TROUGH TO THE WEST IS FCST TO BEGIN SHEARING OUT TO THE NE LATE
THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...KICKING THE OFFSHORE FRONTAL
ZONE TO THE EAST. AS THE TROUGH APPROACHES AND INTERACTS WITH A
TROUGH IN THE LEE OF THE APPALACHIANS...COULD SEE DIURNALLY DRIVEN
SHOWERS/TSTMS MON AFTERNOON/EVENING.

TEMPS SHOULD BE NEAR AVG THU-FRI...THEN A LITTLE BELOW AVG THIS
WEEKEND VIA CLOUD COVER AND GREATER POP...THEN RETURNING TO NEAR AVG
ON MON.
