.SYNOPSIS...
-- Changed Discussion --
A cold front will move through this evening, then high pressure over the Great Lakes will slowly build across through Friday morning, and pass offshore Friday afternoon and night. A warm front will approach on Saturday and lift into the area Saturday night, followed by a cold front on Sunday. High pressure will then return on Monday and last into the middle of next week.

-- Changed Discussion --
Sfc cold front just entering the lower Hudson Valley. Dry fropa expected into this evening, with winds shifting NW-N and clearing skies. CAA tonight and also blyr decoupling inland late should lead to a cool night, with lows 50-55 inland and in the Long Island Pine Barrens region, 55-6 most elsewhere, and 60-65 invof NYC.

&& .SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
-- Changed Discussion --
Suny as high pressure builds across. Winds will gradually veer from N-NE early to S in the afternoon. With a cooler air mass in place and onshore flow, high temps should be limited to 75-80. Return flow Sat night should lead to temps not quite so cool as those for Thu night, ranging from the mid 50s to mid 60s Expect increasing clouds thru the day on Sat as a warm front approaches. Sped up timing of guidance PoP by a couple of hours, with chance from NYC north/west in the afternoon, becoming likely throughout during the evening. There is potential for locally heavy rainfall given PW increasing to 2-2.5 inches. Clouds and onshore flow should limit high temps on Sat to the 70s and lower 80s. WAA will keep temps Sat night on the warm side and it will be muggy as dewpoints increase, with lows in the upper 60s/lower 70s.

&& .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
A cold front approaches on Sunday with a pre-frontal trough. While not raining all day, the combination of the two features will bring a good chance of showers both morning and afternoon with plenty of moisture convergence in the vicinity. Moisture content will be high through with models showing PWATS of 2.25 to 2.50 inches. Mitigating the potential of flash flooding will be a relatively quick unidirectional flow through the mid levels which will have showers and storms moving relatively quickly and hampering the cell training potential. See the hydrology section for more details. Regarding thunderstorms, SBCAPES probably on the order of 1000-2000 J/kg with around 40kt 0-6km bulk shear. Strong wind gusts will therefore be possible. Would have more confidence in the chance of severe weather if the approaching trough aloft were progged to arrive earlier as this would promote more conducive mid-level lapse rates in the afternoon. Still something to keep an eye on as Sunday draws closer. 850mb temps on Sunday range mostly 16-18C with models in pretty good agreement that a narrow ridge of 19C reaches into NE NJ and perhaps adjacent areas. With the high potential of rain and cloud cover, it looks like highs there will be near 90 with 80s for the rest of the forecast area. Dewpoints will be high, leading to max heat indices generally a couple of degrees warmer than the high temperatures. The cold front passes through late in the day Sunday or Sunday evening and should be offshore by Monday morning. PoPs lower through Sunday night, then dry weather for Monday. The dry weather then continues through at least Wednesday with high pressure in control. Much more comfortable dewpoints for Monday and Tuesday before a little mugginess returns on Wednesday. The next cold front and pre- frontal trough may impact the weather on Thursday. Will keep PoPs at slight chance for now as per NBM, but if this setup holds, would not be surprised to see PoPs trend higher for Thursday over the next few days.

&& .AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
A cold front will pass through by early this evening. High pressure will then build slowly eastward tonight, and move overhead Friday morning. VFR, with scattered cumulus clearing out after cold fropa this evening. WNW winds 10-15 kt and gust to around 18-20 kt this afternoon. Winds become N this evening and diminish to 5 -10 kt. Winds may sea breeze at most coastal terminals Fri afternoon. ...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty... Uncertainty regarding KJFK sea breeze. KJFK Already briefly turned SW before turning NW, again. TEMPO for SW wind until 24Z. OUTLOOK FOR 20Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY... Saturday: Chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly during the afternoon, becoming likely at night. MVFR likely, IFR possible, especially at night. Sunday...Showers and thunderstorms likely, MVFR likely, IFR possible. Monday and Tuesday...VFR.

&& .MARINE...
-- Changed Discussion --
SCA conds look increasing likely on the ocean and possibly the south shore bays for Sat night into Sunday as SW flow increases, with gusts up to 25 kt and seas peaking at 5-6 ft late Sat night into Sunday morning. Ocean seas should remain elevated into Sunday evening.

&& .HYDROLOGY...
-- Changed Discussion --
Rainfall amounts of mostly 0.75 to 1.50 inches are expected from Saturday afternoon through Sunday afternoon with locally higher amounts possible. Minor poor drainage/urban flooding will be possible. Flash flooding cannot be ruled out, but with the forward speed of showers and probably a lack of training cells, overall chances for flash flooding appear to be low.

&& .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
-- Changed Discussion --
A high rip current risk continues at the ocean beaches today. The rip current risk for Friday will range from low to moderate. As for Saturday, the risk will be mostly moderate, but a high risk is anticipated for the ocean beaches of Brooklyn and Queens.
