.SYNOPSIS...

&& .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
High pressure remains firmly in place with a strengthening ridge aloft. Clear skies under light northerly flow tonight will lead to colder temperatures. Areas of frost appear likely for most of the area. Frost Advisories have been issued for areas likely to experience frost with the exception of interior locations, since their growing season has now ended. Overnight lows will be in the upper 20s/lower 30s for interior locations and the Long Island Pine Barrens. The rest of the area will cool into the mid/upper 30s, except for Nassau county and the NYC metro which will only cool into the lower/mid 40s. Highs on Sunday will remain cool in the mid 50s, under a light northerly flow. Sunshine will stick around all day.

&& .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT/...
-- Changed Discussion --
Sunday night, the ridge aloft begins to shift to our east as surface high pressure slowly moves into New England. Cloud cover and dewpoints will slowly begin to increase toward daybreak as onshore flow returns due to high pressure moving east. Northerly flow should keep us dry and cool for the majority of the night, with Sunday night lows around the same as they were Saturday night. Areas of frost for large portions of the area are possible again Sunday night.

&& .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
Key Points: * Unseasonable warmth Tue-Thu. * Mainly dry through the period. A 1035 mb sfc high will move off the New England coast on Mon, setting up as a Bermuda high off the Mid Atlantic and then SE coasts Tue through Thu as a large upper ridge build over the eastern States, The upper ridge will flatten on Thu, with a more WNW zonal flow aloft setting up for late week as an upper trough moves across Hudson Bay and Quebec, and as a large closed low moves slowly out of the Four Corners region toward the central Plains. Fcst also has slight chance PoP for Thu afternoon/night with the front stalling not too far off to the south. Unseasonable warmth expected for the mid week period especially on Wed, when temps may again rise well into the 70s, possibly to near 80 in parts of NE NJ. The weakening cold front moving through Wed night will only put a dent in the warmth on Thu, with high temps still either side of 70, then progressively cooler wx (with temps still above normal) expected thereafter as high pressure beneath the confluence of nrn/srn streams over the nrn Plains and upper Great Lakes builds toward the area. The 12Z GFS brings a warm front up toward the area next Sat. This may be a bit on the fast side, with the area still underneath the confluence zone between the upper trough over ern Canada and upper ridging off the SE coast, and the GFS appearing to eject mid level energy out of the Plains closed low too quickly, so fcst only has slight chance PoP for that time frame.
