-- Changed Discussion --
The forecast is mostly on track. No major changes with this update. A weak, low amplitude, shortwave will be tracking rather quickly eastward tonight from the eastern Great lakes as a deep upper low moves through southern Canada. Much of the energy with the shortwave will be moving to the north, or across the extreme northern portion of the forecast area. Also, a warm front will br moving into the region from the southwest, and with increased lift with the strengthening frontal boundary, precipitation will become likely late tonight across the northern tier, with chances to low chances of precipitation farther to the south. The global guidance, NBM, and CAMS were all in good agreement with the areal coverage of the higher chances of precipitation. With little moisture at most around a tenth of an inch of rainfall is expected to the north. So, will be a high probabilities, low precipitation event. With increased cloud cover, and warm advection overnight, have leaned toward the higher GFS guidance for overnight low temperatures.

&& .SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... The low amplitude shortwave will be exiting to the east early Tuesday morning with any continuing precipitation coming to an end around 14Z. Skies will be clearing as zonal flow sets up. At the surface winds will be westerly and gusty as mixing increasing to 850mb. High temperatures will be approaching around 10 degrees above seasonal normals, and once again leaned toward the warmer GFS guidance. A building ridge approaches to the west through Tuesday night as surface high pressure builds into the region from the north. Diminishing winds, especially late overnight, and mostly clear conditions will allow for temperatures to fall more quickly late, reaching to near normal levels by Wednesday morning. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... High pressure builds at the surface and aloft on Wednesday with mostly sunny conditions and high temperatures a few degrees below normal. Although ridging occurs aloft into Thursday morning, overrunning moisture ahead of an approaching warm front will bring a chance of light rain starting Wednesday night. Light rain then remains possible through Thursday night as the associated low pressure system shifts through. The flow aloft remains mostly zonal Friday through at least the weekend, and possibly into Monday. At the surface, high pressure dominates, but a weak cold front passes through sometime Saturday into Saturday night. Moisture is lacking with this front, so will go with a dry forecast for this weekend and Monday. Left in a slight chance of rain for Friday and Friday night however, as moisture lingers north of a sagging cold front associated with Thursday`s system. && .AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... High pressure departs with a warm front approaching from the west. This front moves across late tonight with a cold front moving in for Tuesday. Mainly VFR conditions are expected during the TAF period. There are forecast to be some rain showers moving across late tonight into Tuesday morning, with greatest probabilities for MVFR across KSWF. Rain showers are expected to be mostly light, so the MVFR would be more for ceilings as opposed to visibilities. Showers may very well miss some of the terminals south of KSWF. Winds will be generally southerly near 5-10 kt. The southern 5-10 kt flow continues into this evening and then the winds become more SW overnight into Tuesday morning and increase to 10-15 kt. Some gusts near 20 kt will also develop late tonight into early Tuesday. Wind direction becomes more westerly Tuesday afternoon. NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty... Low chance of MVFR and low chance of rain showers. Timing of wind gusts could be off by a few hours compared to TAF. OUTLOOK FOR 18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY... Tuesday afternoon: Mainly VFR. WSW-W winds near 15 kt with gusts around 25 kt, becoming NW late Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday night. Gusts subsiding Tuesday night. Wednesday: Mainly VFR. Chance of MVFR or lower in rain at night. Thursday: Mainly VFR. Chance of MVFR or lower in rain during the day. Slight chance of MVFR or lower in rain at night. Friday: Slight chance of MVFR or lower in rain, mainly in the afternoon. Otherwise, VFR. Saturday: VFR. Detailed information, including hourly TAF wind component forecasts, can be found at: https:/www.weather.gov/zny/n90 && .MARINE... A southerly flow increases late tonight as deep low pressure, centered north of the Great Lakes, tracks east, and a warm front approaches. Small craft conditions develop late as gusts increase to over 25 kt. With the southerly flow gusts across the Great South Bay also reach 25 kt and was added to the advisory beginning late tonight. Then by Tuesday morning as mixing south to southwest wind gusts are expected to reach 25 kt across the remainder of the forecast waters through mid afternoon Tuesday, and have posted a SCA for those waters. Conditions will be slower to improve on the ocean waters as gusty west to northwest winds continue. So have extended the advisory until late Tuesday night west of Fire Island Inlet, and into Wednesday morning to the east as SCA conditions last into Wednesday morning on the ocean east of Moriches Inlet, otherwise offshore winds and seas slowly subside through the day. Low pressure passes through on Thursday, but with a relatively weak pressure gradient. Winds and seas are therefore likely to remain below advisory thresholds. There is a chance however that the pressure gradient tightens enough on Saturday for gusts to 25 kt, however the more likely scenario is that conditions across all waters remain below advisory levels through the rest of the forecast period. && .HYDROLOGY...
