.SYNOPSIS...
-- Changed Discussion --
Low pressure well east of New England will continue to track farther out into the Atlantic through tonight. A cold front will then pass through the area dry on Friday. High pressure builds over the area Saturday, and offshore Saturday night. Deepening low pressure moves along the Mid Atlantic coast Sunday, and impacts the region Sunday night into Monday. High pressure gradually builds back in through the middle of next week.

&& .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
-- Changed Discussion --
High pressure briefly noses in from the SW tonight as low pressure well east of New England continues to work farther out into the Atlantic. This will allow for a weakening W/NW flow. At the same time, a large upper vortex tracking across eastern Canada will send a cold front across the eastern Great Lakes tonight and close to the area by daybreak. Lows tonight will range form the lower 30s inland, to around 40 across the NYC metro. This is near normal.

A cold front will pass through the area dry during the late morning into early afternoon hours followed by modest cold advection. This will keep highs from getting out of the upper 40s under sunny skies. In addition, NW winds will pick back up in the afternoon with gusts up 20 mph. These gusts may linger into the early evening before high pressure builds in enough for winds to start diminishing Friday night. This will be one of the colder nights this fall and likely the coldest for the NYC metro as temperatures are expected to drop just below freezing. Elsewhere, reading will be in the 20s. This is about 7 to 8 degrees below normal.

High pres builds over the area on Sat and offshore Sat night. Highs on Saturday struggle to make it out of the 30s, with 925mb temps around -6C to -8C. Temperatures Saturday night will likely only be a few degrees warmer than Friday night with very light return flow. A near zonal and progressive upper flow will bring an amplifying trough to the east coast by late in the day Sunday. Meanwhile, a southern branch shortwave phases with the northern trough and then tracks northward along the east coast through Monday night. The associated surface low with the southern branch will become the may low Sunday night, as the low deepens quickly through Monday and tracks into the Canadian Maritimes. With increased confidence, and persistence, have increased probabilities for precipitation Sunday night to categorical. There is no cold air in place, so all the precipitation will be liquid. With the low remaining in southeastern Canada through Tuesday, and a cyclonic flow across the region, there is a very low chance of a few sprinkles or snow showers reaching into Orange county Monday as northwest flow moves across Lake Ontario. And with colder air for Tuesday, there is a low chance of snow showers across portions of Orange County as the northwest flow persists. At this time have kept probabilities below slight chance as per the NBM. Thereafter, dry weather is expected into the middle of next week as high pressure builds into the region. Temperatures will be near normal Sunday and Monday, and then with the cold air moving in Monday night temperatures will be nearly 10 degrees below normal into the middle of next week.

Low pressure well off the New England coast will slowly track northeast as high pressure builds in from the southwest. A cold front moves through dry on Friday. VFR. Northwesterly winds will gradually be on the decrease through the afternoon as high pressure builds toward the area. Winds will remain out of the northwest on Friday at around 10 kt. VFR conditions are expected on Friday. ...NY Metro(KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty... No unscheduled AMD expected through the TAF period. OUTLOOK FOR 18Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY... Fri-Sat: VFR.

-- Changed Discussion --
SCA conditions will continue primarily for seas on the ocean zones east of Fire Island Inlet. This will end by the early morning hours if not even a bit sooner. NW winds will gradually diminish this evening. A dry cold frontal passage during the late morning into early afternoon hours Friday will allow for increasing NW winds. There is a chance for marginal SCA conditions Friday evening/night for several hours before subsiding. Confidence is too low at this time to issue. Sub-advisory conditions are expected on all waters Sat-Sun. Then with a deepening low moving along the Mid Atlantic and New England coasts Sunday night through Monday small craft advisory gusts develop on the ocean waters in an increasing south to southeast flow Sunday night. Small craft conditions develop on all the forecast waters Monday in the strong and gusty west to northwest flow. The northwest flow continues into Tuesday night with a strong pressure gradient across the waters with deep low pressure over southeastern Canada and high pressure builds into the southwest. Conditions will be slowly improving across the western waters late Tuesday, and across the non ocean waters late Tuesday night. Winds and seas are expected to be blw sca lvls on Wed.
