Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY

.SYNOPSIS...
-- Changed Discussion --
A weak trough will be nearby today into tonight. High pressure will otherwise be in control through the weekend.
-- End Changed Discussion --
&& .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
-- Changed Discussion --
The forecast is mostly on track. Hourly temperatures and dewpoints have been adjusted for the next few hours based on the latest trends. An upper trough will be over the Northeast today with shortwave lift approaching late in the day, shifting through the forecast area tonight. Some mid level moisture will accompany these features, and this combination may produce an isolated shower or sprinkle in spots north of the city from late day into the first half of tonight. Seasonable high temperatures of 75-80 across the area. NBM with a few local adjustments was used for low temps.

&& .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
-- Changed Discussion --
Heights slowly rise aloft, allowing for surface high pressure to gradually build into the area Tuesday through Tuesday night. The center of this system then shifts through on Wednesday. Sunny for Tuesday with highs a degree or two warmer than today. Good radiational cooling conditions then set up for at least part of Tuesday night. There may be cirrus sneaking in overnight, but with a clear start and light to calm winds, thinking that temperatures will still manage to drop into the mid-upper 40s across the northernmost zones and Pine Barrens region. Lows otherwise around 60 for the city, with 50s elsewhere. Mostly sunny for Wednesday with perhaps some cirrus still around mainly in the morning. High temperatures similar to Tuesday`s. As for lows, some uncertainty regarding how much cirrus can reenter the picture. Have therefore gone close to NBM for the areas that typically experience stronger radiational cooling rather than blending in cooler MOS guidance.

&& .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
The period should feature an extended period of warm, dry weather underneath an amplifying upper level ridge, that will be slow to move as the westerlies become shunted well north into Canada. Temps should reach the lower 80s on Thu, with widespread lower/mid 80s and perhaps a few upper 80s readings in the urban corridor of NE NJ on Fri-Sat. Low temps generally fall back into the 60s along the coast, and 50s across the interior. As we go into the weekend, a light onshore flow may result in some hybrid radiation/advection low clouds and patchy fog each late night and early morning as temps fall to around or below the previous afternoon`s min dewpoints. River valley fog is also likely as well. Temps on Sunday may be a touch less warm as heights aloft fall across the area and across New England in response to an upper trough digging SE across Atlantic Canada, but will still be above normal, with upper 70s/lower 80s expected.

&& .AVIATION /12Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
VFR as high pressure builds in today. A weak low pressure trough will approach from the NW late today into tonight. Generally W flow 5-10 kt this morning should become WSW 10-15 kt this afternoon, with some gusts 15-20 kt especially at the NYC metros. Winds should back more SW at the coastal terminals and SSW at KJFK mid to late afternoon. SW flow 5-10 kt tonight becomes W-WNW overnight. There is the slight chance of a shower at KSWF/KGON this evening. ...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty... No unscheduled AMD expected. OUTLOOK FOR 12Z TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...VFR.

&& .MARINE...
-- Changed Discussion --
W-SW winds 10-15 kt through tonight should limit ocean seas to 4 ft during that time frame. Lighter winds are expected Tue-Wed as a high pressure center slowly drifts into the region. Seas will also diminish in response to this. Sub-advisory conditions continue through Friday with a weak pressure gradient and no appreciable swell.

&& .HYDROLOGY... No hydrologic impacts are expected through the end of the week. && .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING... There is a moderate risk of rip current development today and with a lingering easterly swell of 2-3 ft at 8 seconds. A low risk of rip current development is anticipated for Tuesday. && .OKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CT...None. NY...None. NJ...None.
