Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
556 PM EDT Mon Jun 10 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
A weak sfc trough over the area will move offshore tonight.
Another inland trough developing on Tuesday will also move
offshore Tuesday night, then high pressure will build across
during mid week. A cold front will approach on Friday and move
through in the afternoon and at night. High pressure will then
follow for the weekend.

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
-- Changed Discussion --
No showers have developed over the forecast area so far, and not expecting any to develop for the rest of the daylight hours with such dry conditions. Have therefore removed PoPs into early evening with this update. Skies should then become partly cloudy to mostly clear after a shortwave wave passes by this evening and a surface trough moves offshore. Temps tonight should bottom out close to 60 in/around NYC and in the 50s elsewhere.

&& .SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... Another sfc trough develops inland daytime Tue, but with a weaker pressure gradient expect better sea breeze development in the afternoon along the coast. Another passing shortwave could touch off an isolated late day shower well inland. Temps should be similar to those of today, with highs again in the 70s. This sfc trough will also move offshore, with clearing skies. Low temps also look to be similar to those of tonight, ranging from 60-65 in the NYC metro area, to the 50s elsewhere. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... **Key Points** * Big warm-up for the second half the week, followed by a brief cool-down for the weekend. * Mostly dry conditions through the period. * Scattered showers and thunderstorms Friday and Friday night with a cold front. Weak surface high pressure will be over the region on Wednesday, with mid-level shortwave lift approaching late in the day and passing through during Wednesday night. There will be mid-level capping for a good portion of the time, plus moisture and CAPE will be limited by the time the shortwave can provide some lift for showers. Will therefore continue with a dry forecast through the period. NBM looked good for high temperatures, which will be a few degree above normal. The flow aloft becomes more zonal on Thursday with a continuation of dry weather. 850mb temps rise, leading to highs in the 80s for most locations, and even some 90 degree readings in the NE NJ urban corridor. A shortwave will help sharpen a longwave trough on Friday as both approach from the west on Friday. These will support a cold front pushing through the forecast area - most likely during the afternoon to evening hours. Have gone slightly above NBM PoPs, but still capped them at chance for now. Thinking CAPEs could end up higher than currently progged by global models, the shortwave would promote steepening mid-level lapse rates, and there could be upper jet streak lift as well. Anticipating scattered showers and thunderstorms, some of which could be strong. Still too early to have too much confidence in the severe weather potential, but given the aforementioned ingredients along with progged 35-45kt 0-6km shear, trends will need to be monitored for the possibility. 850mb temps rise to around 16-17C. Went slightly below NBM for high temperatures, mainly for inland areas, but still above average with lower 90s in the typically warmest spots and mid/upper 80s for most other locations. High pressure then builds in from the NW during the weekend with dry conditions and more comfortable dewpoints. High temperatures still above normal both days. Looks like high pressure hangs on for another dry and warmer day for Monday. && .AVIATION /22Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Weakening low pressure remains over the Canadian Maritimes as high pressure builds in from the west through Tuesday. VFR. Sea breezes have developed along the Connecticut and southern Long Island coasts, with winds more SW. Late day winds may become more southerly, although confidence is low. Otherwise winds remain westerly, with occasional gusts at KLGA. Winds diminish this evening, possibly becoming light/variable at the outlying terminals. Late tonight light N flow develops and continues into Tuesday morning. ...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty... A sea breeze moved through KJFK with winds SW, and late day winds may become more southerly, although have low confidence. The sea breeze is not expected at the other terminals with winds remaining west. Gusts at KLGA may be more occasional than frequent. OUTLOOK FOR 18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY... Tuesday afternoon through Thursday: VFR. Friday: Mainly VFR. MVFR possible in afternoon and evening showers/tstms. Saturday: VFR. Detailed information, including hourly TAF wind component forecasts, can be found at: https:/www.weather.gov/zny/n90 && .MARINE... Quiet through Wed night. Then S winds on the ocean for Thursday and Friday may gust near 25 kt, primarily west of Fire Island Inlet, with seas possibly reaching 5 ft on Friday. Aside from this,sub-advisory conditions are expected through the long term period. && .HYDROLOGY... No hydrologic concerns expected attm. && .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING... A low risk of rip current development is expected at all the ocean beaches for Tuesday and Wednesday. && .OKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CT...None. NY...None. NJ...None.
