&& .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
-- Changed Discussion --
At 19Z a weak low was centered across central New England with a closing off upper low tracking across upstate eastern New York. Surface based instability and CAPE to around 600 J/kg remain across the lower Hudson Valley and southern Connecticut through around 23Z to 00Z, as the upper low provide some lift as energy rotates through the low. Scattered to isolate showers and thunderstorms will remain possible into early this evening, and then dissipate as daytime heating ends and with the low tracking north of the region. Brief heavy rainfall will be possible with the storms as precipitable water values remain from 1 to 1.25 inches. However, the storms will be moving east southeast 20-25kt, and widespread flooding is not expected. Later this evening and into tonight the upper low and surface low will be tracking to the north and northeast of the area as heights begin to slowly rise, and a weak ridge builds to the west. Once the showers and thunderstorms dissipate dry weather will continue through tonight. A seasonal warm and humid airmass will remain tonight.

-- Changed Discussion --

&& .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
Surface high pressure builds into the region through the day on Wednesday with generally quiet and dry conditions expected through early Thursday. As high pressure moves offshore a warm southerly flow will bring a return of higher humidity values across the region resulting in some showers and thunderstorms to develop each day through the beginning of next week as several short wave troughs swing across the area. Temperatures will remain at or slightly above through the long term. The warmest two days in the long term will be Wednesday and Thursday with forecast highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s. Heat index values remain below heat advisory criteria.
