Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 4:22 PM EST on January 12, 2005
... Unseasonably mild temperatures on the way for Thursday and
Thursday night...
... Heavy downpours along with a few thunderstorms possible Thursday
night...
A warm front will continue to slowly move north overnight... and pass
through our region Thursday morning. This feature will act to scour
out the low level cold air... and allow for unseasonably warm
temperatures and dewpoints to spread across the tri-state area
Thursday afternoon and Thursday night. Highs on Thursday will likely
top out well into the 50s... with some lower 60s possible... especially
in northeast New Jersey and New York City. Lows Thursday night will
be very mild with lows in the upper 40s... and more likely... the 50s.
These temperatures will be some 15 to 30 degrees above normal. South
winds will increase to 15 to 25 mph during Thursday afternoon and
Thursday night.
While the bulk of Thursday will be dry... some dense fog will be
possible... especially in the morning. A strong cold front will
approach the tri-state area Thursday evening... and cross by early
Friday morning. Along and just ahead of the front... widespread rains
will develop... along with a few thunderstorms. The best chance for
heavy downpours will be after midnight Thursday night through the
early morning hours Friday. Any thunderstorm will be capable of
producing strong gusty winds.
Rainfall amounts will average one to one and a half inches Thursday
night into Friday morning. Locally higher amounts will be
possible... especially in thunderstorms. This will likely pose urban
and poor drainage flood problems. Over areas to the north and west of
New York City... the rainfall combined with snowmelt may cause rivers
and steams to rise to near bankfull.
The strong cold front that will be responsible for our warm and wet
weather will sweep offshore to our east Friday morning. This will
usher in much colder temperatures for Friday. The temperatures behind
the front may fall fast enough for the rain to change over to a brief
period of snow before the precipitation ends completely by early
Friday afternoon.
Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio and other local media for further
details or updates.
Dense Fog Advisory
Statement as of 3:14 PM EST on January 12, 2005
... A dense fog advisory in effect from 7 PM this evening to 10 am EST
Thursday...
The National Weather Service in Upton NY has issued an a dense fog
advisory.
A warm front lifting north towards the area will stall south of Long
Island this evening. Warmer and more humid air will override this
boundary. With the abundant low-level moisture combined with light
winds... widespread dense fog will develop across coastal areas. For
interior locations... this warm and moist air will override
snow-covered areas... resulting in areas of dense fog as well.
Stay tuned to NOAA all hazards radio or visit our web site at
weather.Gov/okx for further details or updates.
A dense fog advisory is issued when dense fog will substantially
reduce visibilities... resulting in hazardous driving conditions in
some areas. Motorists are advised to use caution and slow down... as
objects on and near roadways will be seen only at close range.
