&& .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
-- Changed Discussion --
Jet dynamics associated with a negatively tilted upper trough have lifted north, sending cold front across the area late this afternoon into early this evening. The area of showers along and ahead of the front continues diminish in intensity and is no longer a flood threat. The brunt of the rain early this evening will be across eastern LI/southern CT before the front exits to the east. Any post-frontal showers look to be scattered elsewhere. A gusty W/NW flow immediately behind the front will produce gusts up to 30 kt for an hour or two, before diminishing to 15 to 20 kt. It will also turn much cooler through the night with lows generally in the 40s to around 50. This will be about 10-15 degrees cooler than last night. It will also clear from west to east this evening into the early morning hours.

&& .SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
The closed upper low will lift up into eastern Canada Sunday with deepening surface low pressure becoming occluded. This low will then become stationary and weaken through the first half of the upcoming week. This will result in a brisk W flow and below normal temperatures. Highs Sunday and Monday will be in the upper 50s to lower 60s, with lows Sunday night in the 40s in outlying areas to around 50 across the NYC metro. In addition, with cyclonic flow there should be instability cu each afternoon. Have even included a slight chance of showers Sunday afternoon across Orange County NY. The HRRR has bit more coverage to the east of this area, but confidence is too low at this time to add elsewhere. In addition, shortwave energy rounding the base of the upper low could produce a few showers Sunday night. For the time, have kept these east of the area.

&& .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
The upper low over eastern Canada gradually fills and weakens through the end of the week. This will allow for a slow warmup with a low chance of showers Monday night into Tuesday as additional shortwave energy rounds the base of the upper low. Warmer and more humid conditions develop late in the week with an approaching frontal system. Rain chances increase during this time. The heaviest rain at this time looks to hold off until late Friday or Saturday.

&& .AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
A cold front has moved east of city terminals, and is expected to move east of Long Island and southeast CT later this evening. Low pressure will then meander over New England and southeast Canada into early next week. The cold front will continue to bring a round of showers to KISP, KBDR and eventually KGON, with city terminals currently experiencing lighter rounds of lingering post-frontal showers. All showers should clear NYC terminals by 00Z, with the timing just a few hours later for eastern terminals. Cloud ceilings are also expected to rise behind the front with many city terminals now at MVFR, later this evening and tonight returning to VFR as clouds rise and clear out. WInds at city terminals are now NW at 10-15 kts with frequent gusts 20-25 kts. Winds and gusts may weaken a bit late tonight into early Sunday morning before increasing after day break. VFR and westerly winds are expected Sunday with gusts at or below 20 kts for most terminals. ...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty... Amendments likely due to changing flight categories. Timing of improvement to VFR may be off by 1-3 hours. Timing of cold front passage/NW wind shift may be off by 1-2 hours. OUTLOOK FOR 21Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY... Sunday Afternoon: VFR. W winds around 15G20-25kt. Monday: Mainly VFR. Low chance of showers at night. SW G15-20kt Tuesday...Manly VFR. Low chance of showers. S-SW G15-20kt. Wednesday and Thursday...VFR.

No hydrologic impacts expected Sun-Fri.

&& .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
-- Changed Discussion --
Long period SE swells from the remnant low of Phillipe will build to 6 to 9 ft tonight, presenting the likelihood of additional beach erosion/escarpment from an east to west sweep of 5 to 7 ft breaking surf. Because water levels are not astronomically high, the dune erosion threat during times of high tide is isolated. Swells subside Sunday into Sunday night.
