Forecast on track. Otherwise, a near zonal upper flow continues tonight as surface high pressure along the Mid Atlantic coast drifts into the western Atlantic. With a weak southwest to west flow develop weak warm advection sets up and continues through tonight. Good radiational cooling has set up with clear skies and winds decoupling. Outlying areas will see temperatures just about as low as Wednesday night/Thursday morning, while the NYC metro area and along the coast will be up to 5 degrees higher. overall, temperatures will be 5 to 10 degrees below seasonal normals. Frost likely becomes widespread inland, however, with the growing season now over will not be issuing a frost advisory. Along the coast areas of frost will develop later tonight, becoming a little more widespread toward morning as dew points slowly rise. Where the growing season remains on-going, have held off on a frost advisory as confidence is low that it will become widespread.

Low level warm advection continues with highs Friday nearing normal Friday night`s lows a few degrees above normal.

Meanwhile, an upper level trough will will move through eastern Canada. A cold front associated with this trough will remain well north of the region through the weekend. While the weekend is expected to remain dry, expect a varying mix of sun and clouds throughout the weekend. High pressure remains over the region Monday with another dry day expected. The next frontal system is expected Monday night into Tuesday as low pressure moving out of the Great Lakes region passes well north of the area, sending its associated cold front across the area Tuesday morning. There are some differences with timing and placement of the low, so will stick fairly close to the NBM/previous forecast for now. Expecting just chance POPs through this period. The low and the front move well off to the east for Wednesday, however some forecast guidance is hinting at another potential low for Wednesday into Thursday.
