Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
727 AM EDT Wed Aug 21 2024
.SYNOPSIS...
A low pressure trough lingers nearby today, followed by building
high pressure for the remainder of the week. Low pressure will
be near or over the area Monday into Tuesday with a weak cold
front.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
The area is in-between high pressure slowly building from the
west, and a departing low pressure lifting away to the
northeast. The dry weather continues today and tonight on a NW
flow regime. Mainly just some lower level fair weather clouds at
around 5 to 7 kft with broken and scattered cloud cover can be
expected from time to time with synoptic scale sinking motion
increasing overall as high pressure starts to gradually build
from the west. A few showers and sprinkles cannot be ruled out
across northern most areas this afternoon as showers from
Central NY and Western New England may try to pivot through. Dew
point readings will remain in the comfortable lower and middle
50s providing seasonably cool weather for this time of year. Day
time temperatures will be close to 10 degrees below average
today with mainly lower and middle 70s for day time maxes, and
temperatures tonight running below average with night time mins
in the upper 40s to lower 50s across the interior and mostly
upper 50s closer to the coast. Followed the NBM closely with day
time temps, otherwise stuck with a MAV / MET blend for night
time temps to reflect more cooling in the more rural locations.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
The W to NW flow regime continues with dry conditions. Scattered
clouds are expected towards late morning and into the afternoon with
a cold pool remaining in place on Thursday as the upper level low
gradually gets further northeast. Towards Thursday night heights
begin to rise some. Temperatures will remain below average, but
closer to normal for this time of year with middle and upper 70s.
Night time lows will remain below average. Used MAV / MET blend once
again to better account for radiational cooling at night, otherwise
used mainly NBM for day time temperatures.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
No significant changes in the long term and stuck fairly close to
previous forecast/NBM.
Ridging builds over the area on Friday from the west and remains
over the region through the weekend.
Warm air advection is expected to gradually occur Friday into
Saturday with winds turning from northwest to south and west
on Friday and remaining that way on Saturday. This will lead to
high temperatures returning to the 80s, closer to climatological
averages. Dewpoints will also increase Friday into Saturday
with the influence of the onshore flow. Overall, it should
remain dry and mostly sunny Friday and Saturday due to general
subsidence over the region from high pressure.
After Saturday, global models diverge a bit on their solutions of
a low pressure system that drops southward out of Quebec
on Sunday into Monday. The GFS showing a low pressure system with a
deepening trough aloft in New England, bringing a weak
cold front Monday afternoon/evening. This would result in a
some isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms
Monday afternoon and evening. The GFS keeps this upper low near the
region on Tuesday, while the ECMWF starts to move this model away
from the region. Will keep just a slight chance POP on Tuesday,
mainly north and west in case the slower, GFS solution is
correct.

.AVIATION /12Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
VFR as high pressure slowly builds into the region.
NW winds 10 kt or less increase to around 10 kt shortly after
daybreak, then to 10-15 kt with some gusts either side of 20 kt
in the afternoon. Some gusts up to 25 kt late in the afternoon
possible at the NYC metros. BKN cigs expected in the afternoon.
Winds diminish in late in the TAF period.
...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty...
Gusts may be occasional at times.
OUTLOOK FOR 12Z THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
Thursday-Sunday: VFR.
