Forecast on track through the overnight. Partly cloudy skies are expected tonight, but with the upper trough axis nearby, periods of mostly cloudy skies are possible. This is most likely inland across the Lower Hudson Valley. Temps tonight should bottom out close to 60 in/around NYC and in the 50s elsewhere.

&& .SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... 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 NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... **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 /03Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...

VFR as a series of surface troughs move across the terminals into Tuesday night. Winds will continue shifting to towards the N and then NNE overnight with outlying terminals light and variable. Light N-NNE flow continues on Tuesday before sea breezes develop late morning into the afternoon. Winds shift to the S at most sites except for Lower Hudson Valley terminals. ...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty... Timing of sea breeze on Tuesday may be off by 1-3 hours.
