.SYNOPSIS...
-- Changed Discussion --
High pressure builds east through the middle of the week,
gradually moving offshore mid to late week. A complex frontal
system impacts the region late Friday through Saturday. High
pressure returns late Sunday.-- End Changed Discussion --

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
-- Changed Discussion --
The forecast is on track with only minor changes needed.
Dry conditions expected for Monday with high pressure building
in from the west. Trough axis aloft will push east, but with
subsidence associated with the building high, no precipitation
is expected with this disturbance, especially with dew points
dropping into the 50s and even some upper 40s by day`s end on a
gusty northwesterly flow. Just some fair weather stratocu
expected in the afternoon into the early evening hours.
Temperatures will be near to slightly above normal with highs in
the middle 70s across the Lower Hudson Valley, and upper 70s to
lower 80s elsewhere.-- End Changed Discussion --
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
A surface trough moves through tonight, bringing a reinforcing shot
of cooler and drier air. Dew points continue to drop into the 40s.
Winds should diminish Monday night, especially inland, but not
enough for optimal radiational cooling under clear skies. Lows
are expected to drop to the middle and upper 40s across the
Lower Hudson Valley and inland southern Connecticut. 50s are
expected elsewhere, even into NYC.
Tranquil conditions and below normal temperatures are expected
Tuesday, with highs in the lower to middle 70s for the entire
forecast area. Slightly warmer readings are expected Wednesday.
Tuesday night seems to be the better night for outlying areas to
radiate with winds expected to become light and variable as the
center of the high approaches. Lows in the outlying areas will dip
into the lower to middle 40s, while elsewhere will generally see
lows in the 50s.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
Offshore surface high pressure continues to move east Thursday
into Friday. Meanwhile, a northern stream upper trough will be
amplifying into the upper midwest and Great Lakes region
Thursday through Friday as an area of weak low pressure along
the Gulf coast states slowly begins to interact with the
northern stream trough. The organizing souther low will interact
with the northern cold front Friday into Saturday night. There
remain some differences with the global guidance with the timing
and placement of these systems. Trends have been for impacts
from these systems for the beginning of the upcoming weekend. A
period of moderate to heavy rainfall is possible as the low
tracks near or over the region as precipitable waters increases
to near 2 inches, and a strong low level jet develops. The low
then departs to the northeast Saturday night into Sunday, and
have gone with a dry forecast by later Sunday.
Temperatures will be near to slightly below normal Thursday and
Friday and then trend lower for Saturday into the beginning of next
week. Sunday and Monday temperatures may be 5 to near 10 degrees
below seasonal normals.-- End Changed Discussion --

.MARINE...
Northerly wind gusts are expected to gust to 25 kt on the ocean
waters tonight into Tuesday morning on the heels of cold
advection with building Canadian high pressure from the
northwest. Winds diminish Tuesday. Thereafter, winds and waves
likely remain below SCA criteria through Wednesday night.
An increasing and persistent easterly flow will allow ocean seas to
build to SCA levels during Friday. As a complex frontal system
impacts the area waters Friday night through Saturday night SCA
conditions will remain on the ocean waters. There is a chance of SCA
conditions on the eastern Long Island Sound by late Saturday and into
Saturday night as low pressure passes through the region. Conditions
slowly improve on the ocean waters Sunday as a northwest flow
develops behind departing low pressure.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
No hydrologic impacts are expected through the end of the week.
There is a chance of moderate to heavy rainfall Saturday into
Saturday night with the potential for 1 to 2 inches of rainfall.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Rip current activity is expected to be moderate for all Long Island
beaches on Labor Day, but may taper down to low late afternoon into
the evening. Rip currents are expected to be low on Tuesday.
