.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
-- Changed Discussion --
The forecast is on track. Upper ridge axis to our west flattens through the period as it heads toward us. This will promote weak surface ridging over the forecast area with the ridge axis reaching us late tonight into Wednesday morning. Sunny today with the wind mainly from the NW at 5-10 mph, but late day sea breezes will be possible for some coastal areas. High temperatures near normal from the mid 70s to around 80. With the high pressure center nearing us tonight, a light to calm wind will allow for good radiational cooling conditions at least for the first half of the night before some cirrus tries to offset this cooling late tonight. Used a MET/MAV MOS blend across the northern zones and the Pine Barrens region, which typically performs better than the deterministic NBM in this setup. Lows falling into the mid and upper 40s for these areas.

&& .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... High pressure remains centered over the Northeast during Wednesday and then lingers just offshore on Thursday. Dry weather continues through the period with seasonable high temperatures both days, although Thursday will be a little warmer than Wednesday. Low temperatures near normal as well, along with enhanced cooling in the typical areas. Patchy fog will possible too both nights away from urban areas, primarily along the river valleys. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... The period will feature an extended period of warm, dry weather underneath a quasi-stationary upper level high. This high may start to weaken on Mon as a cold front moves through eastern Canada and as low pressure starts to develop somewhere off the Southeast coast. High temps Fri-Sat should reach the lower/mid 80s, and slightly lower temps for Sunday/Mon with upper 70s/lower 80s, as a more maritime E-SE flow develops. Low temps each day should be fairly similar, mainly 60-65 for the NYC metro area and along the coast, and 55-60 inland. This should promote development of river valley fog each late night/early morning, and possibly some hybrid radiation/advection low clouds and patchy fog low clouds and fog near the coast Fri night and Sat night. && .AVIATION /12Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... VFR as a weak sfc trough moves through overnight, followed by building high pressure. WSW-W flow 10 kt or less should shift NW after the trough passage from about 11Z-13Z. Coastal terminals should experience somewhat of a sea breeze, with direction backing more to the WSW in the afternoon, exact timing uncertain. Light NW-N flow expected tonight. ...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty... A few gusts 15-18 kt possible this afternoon, have mentioned in TAF only at KEWR for now. Sea breeze direction/timing at KJFK late today and early this evening uncertain, and it is possible that direction may fluctuate between NW-SW. OUTLOOK FOR 06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY... Mainly VFR. Some late night/early morning low clouds/patchy fog may be possible at KGON/KBDR/KISP/KJFK Fri night and Sat night.
