  (on/off)  Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definitionFxus61 kokx 231421 afdokx area forecast discussion national weather service new york ny 921 am est Sat feb 23 2019 Synopsis High pressure moves offshore today. A deep low passing several hundred miles west then north of the region will produce unsettled weather tonight and Sunday. Mainly fair weather is expected next week, with a low potential for both a midweek system and an end of the week coastal low. Near term until 6 pm this evening Water vapor continues to indicates a stream of moisture pumping directly into the area from the subtropical pacific. The goes- east channel 4 (cirrus band) really shows the extent of the cirrus really well. While there are thin spots, a mostly cloudy characteristic fits what is being observed on satellite. The cirrus will only thicken through the day in this pattern. The forecast remains dry today as high pressure slowly drifts offshore. Middle and upper level ridge axis overhead will also help in keeping any precipitation with the approaching system well to our south and west. Highs will be near or slightly below average in the lower to middle 40s. Short term 6 pm this evening through 6 pm Sunday The main challenge tngt, outside of timing the exact onset of pcpn, is the fzra threat across the interior. Temps aloft will warm quickly, but very lgt sely flow will likely not be sufficient to displace the llvl cold air across the interior. Regardless, the entire airmass should modify enough to change all pcpn across the area to plain rain by around 10-12z sun. For the fcst, a model blend of the 2m data minus one degree was used for temps. The resultant temps are right around freezing across the interior, so any deviations of a degree or two from the fcst will result in as little as no fzra, or a more extensive area of fzra. A winter wx advy has been issued for orange county, where the prob of fzra is highest. Some pockets of fzra are possible from nwrn nj zones to interior ct zones. These areas have some fzra included in the fcst, along with a mention in the hwo. These areas could be upgraded to an advy if necessary based on future data. Across the rest of the area, all rain is expected. The rain tapers off from SW to NE during the day on sun. Again, the trend is slower, so ERN sections could see rain for most of the day. The nbm was used for temps, with the guidance remaining consistently mild for the day. For winds, pres gradient begins to tighten late tonight between departing high pres and strong low pres moving into the great lakes. Winds will start to increase late tonight and continue through sun, although low level inversion is expected to keep much of the winds from mixing down until the cold FROPA late sun aftn eve. Long term Sunday night through Friday The cold front associated with the sys comes thru Sun eve, right around 00z per the GFS and nam. Persistent dpva could help to trigger a few shsn Sun ngt and even mon, but moisture is limited. The fcst was kept dry for now with the deepest moisture N of the cwa. For winds, guidance has been overdoing wind events all season. Additionally, highest pressure rises behind the FROPA are expected to be across southern nj. Therefore, while winds are expected to be strong, am not confident enough to issue a high wind watch at this time. Current thinking is a strong wind advsy. Anticipating sustained winds between 25-35 mph with gusts 40-50mph, possibly 55mph with the strongest winds occurring on Monday. Winds then gradually decrease Mon night. Mainly fair and seasonably cold wx is then fcst for the rest of the week. The GFS has backed off on the sys for wed, and the ECMWF and gem are both dry. As a result, pops were reduced to 20 percent. |
There are some hints of a cstl sys for the end of the week or next weekend time period. A model blend was used with pops limited to slight chance Fri and Fri ngt. Aviation 14z Saturday through Wednesday Vfr into much of this evening as high pressure slides across. As a warm front approaches tonight, light rain with some MVFR CIGS may make it to the nyc metros after 03z-04z, becoming more widespread thereafter. A brief period of mixed precip is possible at the onset (around 06z) at kswf. Ifr likely develops aft 06z. N winds 5-10 kt to start will veer NE this morning, then become mainly se. Light E winds expected first half of tonight then increase back to around 10-14 kt at coastal terminals towards 12z with llws developing. Outlook for 12z Sunday through Wednesday Sunday Rain with ifr lifr conds and llws at coastal terminals during the morning. MVFR returns during the aftn behind warm fropa, thenVFR late behind cold fropa. Sunday night and Monday Vfr. Monday w-nw winds 15-25kt g35-45kt. Isolated stronger winds possible. Tuesday Vfr. Wednesday Chance of light snow with MVFR local ifr conds. Marine High pressure over the northeast shifts offshore this aftn and tonight as low pressure in the central plains tracks NE towards the great lakes while strengthening. The pres gradient will tighten late tonight with SCA conds developing on the ocean waters by sun morning. A warm front will lift into the waters during the morning, with a cold front passing late Sun aftn and eve. Winds will strengthen to gale force Sun eve with possibly even storm force gusts on the ocean waters late Sun night through mon. The strongest winds and highest seas will be during this time. Winds and seas gradually diminish Mon night and Tue although headlines will likely be needed through this time. Sub-advsy conds are then expected through the remainder of the forecast period.
