Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New York NY 110 AM EST Sat Dec 7 2019

SYNOPSIS. On the heels of a cold frontal passage, high pressure will follow for Saturday and then build offshore on Sunday. A slow moving frontal system will affect the area through mid week, followed by arctic high pressure late in the week.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/. Cold front has moved south and east of the area with cold advection and NW winds. Winds will gradually diminish through the night with a few gusts up 25 mph possible the next couple of hours.

Lows will be slightly below seasonable, ranging from the mid 20s interior to the upper 20s and lower 30s city/coast.

SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/. Northern stream trough amplifies over the region Saturday, sliding east Saturday Night, with weak upper ridging building in for Sunday.

Mostly sunny, dry and unseasonably cool conditions Saturday as Canadian high pressure builds overhead. High generally in the lower 30s Interior, and mid to upper 30s city/coast. Occasional NW gusts to 15 to 20 mph possible.

Potential for strong radiational cooling conds Saturday Night with high pressure overhead. Lows well down into the lower teens across Interior, particularly where snowpack lingers, as well as pine barrens of LI. Otherwise, lows generally in the upper teens to lower 20s coast, mid 20's city.

High pressure slides offshore Sunday, with developing return flow and temperatures moderating a bit. Another dry day, with increasing high clouds filtering in with PAC flow. Highs generally upper 30s to lower 40s, but still a few degrees below seasonable.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/. Large upper trough moves out of the west and across the middle of the country early next week, with good model consensus. The trough axis passes Thursday as it lifts northeastward, with rising heights by late in the week.

At the surface, high pressure continues to move well to the east as waves of low pressure ride along a front over the mid west to the northeast. As these waves of low pressure ride along the front toward the Great Lakes region, a warm front lifts north of the area Monday. Rain chances increase Sunday night into Monday ahead of this warm front, and in strong WAA and increasing lift, along with plenty of sub tropical moisture. The cold front will approach the area Tuesday, and model consensus tracks the front across the area Tuesday night. The front moves slowly east Wednesday, with a lingering sfc trough possibly passing through Wednesday late in the day or at night. High pressure then builds behind, ushering in the coldest air of the season.

As for sensible weather, showers on Tuesday and Tuesday night taper off early Wednesday, with some difference in the models with amount of post frontal precip lingering ahead of slow moving trough Wednesday. Depending on amount of precip behind the front, enough cold air could result in a period of wintry weather Wednesday morning.

Gusty southerly winds will result in mild temperatures Sunday night (rising) and Monday. This mild air remains in placed ahead of the cold front Monday night and Tuesday, before temperatures fall back Tuesday night and Wednesday. Very cold air will settle in Wednesday night and Thursday, with temps likely remain below freezing. A slight warmup is expected by Friday as the high passes east.

Total QPF amounts of 1-3 inches is expected with this long duration event, Sunday night-Wednesday morning. 6Z GEFS plumes show this spread, with mean right around 1 1/2 inches.

AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/. Predominately VFR conditions expected through the forecast period. 5kft ceilings will give way to mostly clear skies behind a cold front pushing south through the region during the overnight hours.

NW winds 10-15 G20-25kt will gradually diminish overnight to 5-10 kts.

OUTLOOK FOR 06Z SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. Sunday. VFR. Sunday night and Monday. Rain showers likely with MVFR or lower conditions. Tuesday. MVFR or IFR in rain, with conditions improving late at night. Wednesday. VFR. NW G30kt possible.

MARINE. SCA for all waters overnight, ending on the sound, bays, and harbor at 3am, and the ocean 7 am.

High pressure builds in from the west through Saturday with sub-sca conditions.

The high builds offshore on Sunday with southerly winds gradually increasing into Monday as the pressure gradient tightens between the departing high to the east and cold front to the west. As the front draws closer, the southerly flow will increase late Monday into Monday night, with gusts 25-35 kt or near gale force for eastern waters. Winds diminish somewhat as the front nears and passes Tuesday, Tuesday night and possibly into Wednesday. Winds should increase as they turn to the west/northwest late Wednesday.

Seas will builds Sunday night and Monday in strengthening southerly flow. Seas will subside slowly Tuesday-Wednesday as the cold front passes and winds diminish somewhat.

HYDROLOGY. No significant liquid equivalent is forecast through Sunday.

A significant long duration rainfall event is expected later Sunday night, continuing through Tuesday night. There will be some lulls in the precipitation, but the rain could be heavy at times Monday and Monday night, and again later Tuesday. The long duration of the event should preclude widespread flooding. Nuisance/poor drainage flooding is the most likely outcome.

EQUIPMENT. NYC NOAA Weather Radio Station KWO35 (162.55 MHz) is still operating at reduced power.

The KOKX WSR-88D radar will be out of service until approximately 12/7 due to the refurbishment of the transmitter. This work is part of the NEXRAD Service Life Extension Program.

OKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. CT . None. NY . None. NJ . None. MARINE . Small Craft Advisory until 3 AM EST early this morning for ANZ330-335-338-340-345. Small Craft Advisory until 7 AM EST this morning for ANZ350- 353-355.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data.

In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
