AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
1043 AM EDT MON JUL 28 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL TRACK THROUGH NEW ENGLAND TODAY
AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA. THE COLD FRONT PUSHES
EAST TONIGHT...SETTLING WELL OFFSHORE THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK
AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS. LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES AGAIN FOR NEXT
WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
999 HPA SFC LOW NEAR CORTLAND NY AS OF 10 AM. COLD FRONT IS
ENTERING OUR WESTERN FCST AREA IN JERSEY. A LOT OF CLOUD COVER
SEEN IN LOWER LEVELS ON VISIBLE IMAGERY WITH DRY MID AND HIGH
LEVELS SEEN IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY. UPPER LOW NEAR ROCHESTER WITH
CONVECTION/HEAVY RAIN.

CAP AROUND 800 HPA SHOULD KEEP ANYTHING FROM POPPING BEFORE
AFTERNOON AND THUS REMOVED POPS UNTIL AFTERNOON. ONCE CAP
WEAKENS...CAPE IS NARROW WITH LOTS OF DRY AIR ALOFT AND CONVECTIVE
ALLOW MODELS SUGGESTING SHOWERS ARE SCATTERED (AT BEST) IN NATURE
THIS AFTN -HAVE LOWERED POPS. FOCUS STILL TO THE NORTH WITH
GREATER INSTABILITY EXISTS CLOSER THE THE UPPER LOW PASSING TOT HE
NORTH.

WITH LITTLE IF ANY DIRECTIONAL SHEAR AND LIFTING LCL`S, THINK THE
THREAT FOR SEVERE IS LOW. WILL REMOVE WORDING FROM ALL BUT EXTREME
NORTHERN ZONES.

MAIN WX STORY IS THE LATE JULY WINDS WHICH WILL GUSTS UP TO 30 MPH
AS WE MIX UP TO 800-850 HPA.

THERE IS A MODERATE RISK FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF RIP CURRENTS
ALONG THE ATLANTIC OCEAN FACING BEACHES DURING THE DAY TODAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM TUESDAY/...
ANY DIURNALLY DRIVEN SHOWERS/TSTMS DIMINISH IN COVERAGE/INTENSITY
THIS EVENING AS POTENT SHORTWAVE PIVOTS NORTHEASTWARD. EVENING
WINDS DIMINISH AS SKIES GRADUALLY CLEAR. LOW TEMPS SHOULD RANGE
FROM THE LOWER/MIDDLE 50S ACROSS THE INTERIOR TO THE LOWER 60S
NEAR THE COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH DIGS SOUTH TUES THROUGH MID WEEK WITH A CLOSED
LOW HOVERING JUST NORTH OF THE GREAT LAKES. WITH MINIMAL PROGRESSIVE
MOVEMENT ALOFT...THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH EAST...BUT THEN
STALL OFFSHORE. IT SHOULD PUSH JUST FAR ENOUGH EAST TO HAVE MINIMAL
IMPACT THROUGH THE COMING WEEK...BUT WILL COME BACK INTO THE PICTURE
FOR THE COMING WEEKEND. AS THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE
BUILDING IN BEHIND THE FRONT AND WILL MAINTAIN HOLD OF THE REGION
THROUGH THURS. SHORTWAVE ROTATING ON THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE TROUGH
COULD TRIGGER AN ISO SHOWER/TSTM TUES AFTN OVER FAR NORTH AND
WESTERN EDGES OF THE AREA...BUT WITH A MUCH DRIER AIR MASS MOVING
IN...COULD LIKELY WILL END UP BEING A DRY DAY. THE NEXT MENTION
OF PCPN COMES THURS AFTN WITH A RETURN FLOW SETTING UP OVER THE
REGION...INJECTING IN A SLIGHTLY MORE MOIST AIR MASS. THE CLOSED
LOW ALOFT FINALLY PUSHES OFF TO THE NORTHEAST...THOUGH A LONGWAVE
TROUGH STILL WILL PERSIST OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE US FOR THE
END OF THE WEEK. THE PATTERN STILL BRINGS THROUGH MULTIPLE
SHORTWAVES THURS-FRI...EACH BRINGING A SLIGHT CHC IN TRIGGERING AN
ISO SHOWER OR TSTM.

LOW PRESSURE FORMS ALONG THE STALLED FRONT BY THIS WEEKEND...RIDING
THE FRONT WHILE SLOWLY APPROACHING THE AREA. GENERAL MODEL CONSENSUS
BRINGS THE SFC LOW NEAR THE TRI STATE AREA BY SUN MORNING. ENOUGH
FORCING ALOFT ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SHOULD
COMBINE WITH THE SFC LOW TO PRODUCE SCT SHOWERS AND TSTMS...ESP FOR
LATER SAT THROUGH SUN.

TEMPS REMAIN NEAR STEADY THROUGH THE COMING WEEK...A FEW DEGREES
BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS TO THE NW TODAY. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
THROUGH LATE IN THE DAY...FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY
BUILDING FROM THE WEST.

MVFR CIGS WILL CONTINUE TO BURN OFF THROUGH THE LATE MORNING HOURS
DUE TOT HE HEATING OF THE DAY. MAINLY VFR CONDS EXPECTED FOR THE
REST OF THE DAY...BUT WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR WIDELY
SCATTERED AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND PERHAPS AN ISOLD TSTM THAT COULD
BRING BRIEF MVFR OR LOWER CONDS TO AREAS NW OF NYC METRO.

S WINDS WILL BECOME SW AND INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON TO 10-15 KT
WITH GUSTS 15-20 KT...THEN VEER W THIS EVENING AS THE COLD FRONT
MOVES THROUGH AND INCREASE FURTHER TO 15-20 KT WITH GUSTS 25-28
KT.
