.SYNOPSIS...
-- Changed Discussion --
High pressure builds into the area through tonight then moves offshore Sunday. Low pressure and its associated frontal system will impact the area Monday into Monday night. A series of surface troughs will move across the region Tuesday through end of the week as low pressure lingers over the northeast and southeast Canada.

-- Changed Discussion --
Through this afternoon some isolated showers may develop across our northern portions of the area. Otherwise, dry weather is expected as high pressure builds in from the south tonight. Lows tonight will be generally in the middle to upper 50s. the NYC metro may not drop out of the low to middle 60s.

&& .SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
-- Changed Discussion --
High pressure builds through the region on Sunday. With mid-level ridging, temperatures will rise into the low to mid 80s with cooler temperatures along the coast. Some spots in and around the NYC metro may approach 90. A surface low pressure system developing to the west on Sunday will track east and approach the area Sunday night. This will allow for some showers to develop across the region as the system gets closer late Sunday night. Temperatures Sunday night will be in the low to mid 60s with cooler temperatures along the coast.

&& .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
The synoptic pattern of below normal heights and mean troughing over the northeastern US looks to continue through the long term period. The mean upper pattern on the ensembles continues to indicate another cutoff upper level low moving across the Great Lakes region on Monday. This upper low then slowly moves towards the northeast Tuesday and then likely will lift across the northeast and New England Wednesday into Thursday. The ensemble means then signal the upper low opens up in southeast Canada, but carves out mean troughing into the eastern US through the first half of next weekend. The cutoff low over the Great Lakes Monday will send a frontal system into the area during the afternoon and evening. The front should then slowly shift offshore Monday night into Tuesday. For the rest of the week, a series of surface troughs move across the region in association with low pressure lingering both at the surface and aloft. Probabilities for showers increase on Monday with the highest potential occurring in the afternoon into the night. There are still timing differences among the guidance, but a general consensus brings in a band of showers and possible thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. The showers/storms then move eastward across the rest of the area Monday night. The ECMWF has been a slower member of the guidance suite, but has sped up with the 12z Sat Jun 10th model run. Probabilities for showers decrease from west to east after 06z Tuesday with the associated cold front starting to move offshore. CSU machine learning probabilities for severe thunderstorms indicate a 5 percent chance of severe wind gusts (58 mph or greater). SPC currently has the region in just a general thunderstorm outlook. The amount of instability is a bit uncertain as there will likely be a decent amount of cloud cover limiting significant heating. Deeper moisture looks probable with this system as PWATs peak around 1.6 to 1.8 inches Monday evening. Locally heavy rainfall is a possibility. It has been quite dry recently, but the highly urbanized locations of northeast New Jersey and NYC metro could still see some minor flooding with heavy downpours in any thunderstorms. The overall system is progressive, so this should limit any significant flooding threat on top of the recent dry conditions. The upper low moves towards the northeast Tuesday, but there does not appear to be any well define surface features to focus any showers/convection. Will limit PoPs to low chance inland and slight near the coast, but these values could end up lower if recent trends persist. The closer proximity of the upper low and a more define surface trough moves through on Wednesday. This supports higher PoPs in the afternoon and early evening, highest across the interior. A few thunderstorms are possible with steeper lapse rates and associated cold pocket aloft from the upper low. Chance for showers may lower a bit Thursday before increasing again at the end of next week, depending on how the next shortwave evolves along with another surface trough or frontal boundary. A slight chance persists into Saturday with lingering troughing aloft. Temperatures look to run near normal for much of next week. The only exception is on Thursday where highs could briefly get above normal.

&& .AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
High pressure over the area will move offshore Sunday. Expecting mainly VFR conditions through the TAF period. There is a slight chance of a rain shower this afternoon into early evening, mainly north of the NYC terminals. W-NW winds are expected today for the interior terminals, while coastal terminals may see late day seabreezes. Best chances for Seabreezes will be at ISP, where the seabreeze is south of the airport. JFK is in question now, with the seabreeze just south of the terminals, but a NW flow with gusts to near 20 kt is occurring. If JFK goes around it may not be until 5 or 6pm. Any gusts end this evening. Afternoon seabreezes are expected once again on Sunday. ...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty... KLGA sea breeze timing could be off by 1-2 hours. Some gusts 15-20 kt possible in the afternoon for KJFK. OUTLOOK FOR 18Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY... Sunday: VFR. Potential sea breeze enhancement at KJFK late in the afternoon with southerly winds increasing to 15-20 kt. Sunday night: Chance of showers and MVFR after midnight. Southerly wind gusts 15-20 kt for some coastal terminals. Monday: Showers and MVFR. Slight chance of thunderstorms afternoon into evening. SE gusts 20-25 kt during the day. SE-S gusts 15-20 kt in the evening. Tuesday: Chance of showers. MVFR possible. Wednesday: Chance of showers. Slight chance of thunderstorms, mainly in the afternoon into early evening. MVFR possible. SW wind gusts 15-20 kt. Thursday...Mainly VFR. Chance of rain. Detailed information, including hourly TAF wind component forecasts, can be found at: https:/www.weather.gov/zny/n90

Sub-SCA conditions are expected through Sunday. Wind and waves increase Sunday night ahead of the next low pressure system approaching from the west. Winds increase late Sunday night into Monday ahead of approaching frontal system. SCA gusts to around 25 kt are possible, especially on the western ocean waters. Ocean seas will also build to around 5 ft, and could remain into Monday night. Conditions should then remain below SCA levels with a relatively weak pressure gradient Tuesday and Wednesday. There is a chance of a brief period of 5 ft seas east of Moriches Inlet late Wednesday night into Thursday, but otherwise sub SCA conditions continue on Thursday.

-- Changed Discussion --
Locally heavy rainfall is possible in showers and thunderstorms Monday afternoon into Monday night. This may result in minor street and poor drainage flooding, especially for the highly urbanized locations. While flash flooding is not expected, it can not be completely ruled out.

There is a moderate risk of rip currents at Atlantic facing beaches on Sunday. There is a high risk of rip currents at Atlantic facing beaches on Monday due to strong S-SE flow and building seas to 5 ft.
