&& .NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
A cold front will swing thru the area this mrng. Gusty nwly flow thru this aftn behind the front. The fropa is expected to be dry with the strongest dpva north of the cwa. A well mixed day with high temps around 50. A 1030s high builds over the area tngt. Winds should decouple, except perhaps spots like Montauk right on the water. As a result, went blw the NBM for low temps. A light swly flow develops on Wed. H85 temps around 10 degrees warmer, but a lack of deep mixing will only bring highs a couple of degrees warmer than today. The NBM seemed reasonable and was accepted for temps. Some high clouds can be expected both from the nrn and srn streams.

&& .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
-- Changed Discussion --
Decreasing high clouds Wed ngt, but the light swly flow should keep all but the interior from max radiational cooling potential. As a result, the NBM with the usual local adjustments was used. Warmer on Thu due to better mixing on wly flow along with a slightly warmer airmass in general. There could even be some sea breezes along the shore in the aftn. The NBM suggests temps in the lower 60s in the normally warmest swrn areas, with upr 50s elsewhere. This was pretty close to the MEX guidance, so it was used for the fcst. Remaining dry Thu night. Perhaps some increasing high clouds, but not enough to go abv the NBM guidance attm. Nevertheless, it will be the warmest night of the week thus far with dewpoints in the 40s. No fog included in the fcst yet, but there could be some depending on the strength of the wind, particularly in the river valleys.

&& .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
No significant changes in the long term and stuck fairly close to the previous forecast/NBM guidance. An amplifying upper level trough is expected to dive south from the northern Plains state Friday. At the same time, low pressure will develop and intensify over the Southeast U.S. Coast along the subtropical jet. Phasing of the northern and southern jets looks to occur sometime Friday night or Saturday morning. Once it does, rapid intensification of the coastal storm is expected while the cold front approaches the area from the west. 00z forecast guidances continues to show the low passing east of the region, with the bulk of the precipitation remaining out of the CWA, however a slight shift in the timing could change this. Stuck fairly close to NBM given uncertainties. Upper level trough remain over the region for Sunday into the beginning of next week as high pressure builds in at the surface. Cloud coverage may be more than what is currently in the forecast given cold pool aloft and the upper level trough over the region. Cold air advection behind the front will allow temperatures to drop to at or slightly below normal for this time of year for Sunday and Monday.

-- Changed Discussion --
A SCA remains in effect for today due to gusty NW winds on all waters, and into this eve on the ocean. Possible early cancellation on the ocean per the latest guidance. Winds and waves blw sca lvls Wed-Thu. Next potential for SCA conditions is Friday Night thru next weekend with increasing S/SE winds and building waves ahead of approaching cold front and then NE/offshore winds likely with coastal low development. Waves on Saturday could build to 5 to 12 ft on the ocean waters, and up to 9 ft are possible at the sound entrance. SCA conditions are expected through early next week with seas at or above 5ft.
