.SYNOPSIS...
-- Changed Discussion --
Behind one frontal passage, a secondary front approaches today
and moves through tonight. Strong high pressure from the Great
Lakes builds in Tuesday through Wednesday before departing away
from the region Wednesday night. A weakening frontal system will
approach from the west on Thursday while an ocean storm
develops near the Canadian Maritimes. This storm will remain
well to the northeast from Friday into Saturday with high
pressure remaining to the west. The high should build in on
Sunday.-- End Changed Discussion --

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
-- Changed Discussion --
Mix of sun and cu this afternoon ahead of an approaching
secondary cold front that moves through dry tonight.
Temperatures likely at their peak as of noon, with cooler air
beginning to filter in. West winds will continue to gust toward
25 mph into late day. Forecast remains on track.-- End Changed Discussion --

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
For tonight, the secondary cold front continues to approach,
eventually moving across late tonight from NW to SE. This will be a
dry frontal passage with no rainfall expected. Clouds will be
decreasing after this frontal passage and this will also commence
more substantial cold air advection with increasing NW flow.
At 500mb, strong positive vorticity advection evident in the
forecast models behind the frontal passage with a trough moving
through.
850mb temperature forecast to lower more rapidly closer to 4-6
degrees from early evening to daybreak Tuesday. Model 850mb
temperatures by daybreak Tuesday are near to slightly below the
0 degree C mark. Used MAV/MET blend for lows which range mainly
from near 40s for parts of the interior and Pine Barrens of Long
Island to upper 40s within NYC.
For the rest of the short term, strong ridging is conveyed in
the forecast models Tuesday through Wednesday night in the mid
levels. Ridge axis moves in Wednesday night.
For Tuesday, high pressure begins to build in from the Great Lakes.
Steep pressure gradient from strong high center NW of the local area
and low pressure center maintaining its strength in Canadian
Maritimes will set up a NW gusty flow. Gusts up to 35 to
potentially 40 mph are expected.
Boundary layer winds will be higher Tuesday, setting up a
greater difference between sustained winds and the higher gusts.
High temperatures Tuesday from NBM 50th percentile which are a
few degrees less than operational NBM. These highs will be
significantly cooler than the previous day, with highs mainly
from the upper 40s to lower 50s.
For Tuesday night, strong high pressure will continue to build
in from the NW. With subsidence inversion expected to set up
Tuesday night, winds are expected to decouple, leading to wind
speeds diminishing, especially across the interior. The
clearing sky and light winds will allow for efficient
radiational cooling. Winds stay up enough along the coast to
prevent efficient radiational cooling. Lows used MAV/MET blend.
Winds MOS blend today through Tue night, then Superblend/NBM blend
Wed and Wed night.
For Wednesday, high pressure center closest to local area for the
morning and the center of the high actually increases in pressure
during the day as it slowly moves farther away. The high will be
getting more within interior SE Canada. Surface pressure tendency
will be nearly steady Wednesday followed by more of a decrease
Wednesday night. Winds expected to decouple, become very light
Wednesday night and along with mostly clear sky conditions, an even
more efficient radiational cooling night will set up.
Highs Wednesday from NBM, lows Wed night, an even blend of NBM
and MEX guidance.
Possible frost for parts of the forecast region where growing
season still active for late Tuesday night into early Wednesday
morning.

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Ridging aloft continues to weaken as an upper level
shortwave/low pressure approach from the Great Lakes. Forecast
trends continue to keep the bulk of the forcing with this next
system south of the area. This would result in a more dry
forecast. Will keep POPs at just slight chance, however, its
likely POPs will be removed completely in subsequent forecasts.
This weak wave quickly exits to the southeast Thursday night as
surface high pressure and upper level ridging build west of the
region through the first half of the weekend and over the area
on Sunday. Another frontal system may approach the region early
next week.
Temperatures on Thursday will be slightly below normal, with highs
in the 40s to near 50s. By Friday, temperatures are forecast to warm
up to above normal and remain that way though the weekend, with
highs in the mid 50s inland to the lower 60s in the NYC metro area
and across Long Island.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
A secondary cold front will move across the terminals tonight
followed by strong high pressure building in from the Great
Lakes region on Tuesday.
VFR through the TAF period.
WSW-W winds 10-15 kt will continue gusting 20-25 kt through
20-22z. Winds weaken a bit after 22z and should be around 10 kt
with some outlying terminals weakening to 5-8 kt. The passage
of the secondary cold front (06z-08z) will increase winds and
shift them to the NW. Sustained speeds of 15-20 kt with gusts
25-30 kt are then expected on Tuesday morning and afternoon.
Some peak gusts around 35 kt are possible.
NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB)TAF Uncertainty...
Gusts could end +/- 1-2 hours off from forecast this
afternoon/evening.
Start time of gusts late tonight/early Tuesday morning may be
off by 1-2 hours.
Peak gusts around 35 kt possible Tuesday.
OUTLOOK FOR 18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
Tuesday Afternoon-Night: VFR. NW winds near 15-20 kt with gusts
25-30 kt. Winds should become more N at night with gusts
weakening to closer to 25 kt in the evening, then diminishing
overnight.
Wednesday-Thursday: VFR. Slight chance of rain on Thursday.
Friday-Saturday: VFR. NW wind gusts 15-20 kt possible Friday and
NW wind gusts 20-25 kt possible Saturday.

.MARINE...
SCA extended on ocean zones through Tuesday. SCA potential
lingers on ocean thereafter through Wednesday morning.
Conditions forecast to go below SCA on ocean Wednesday afternoon
through Wednesday night. SCA on non-ocean waters continues until
1PM this afternoon. Then, sub-SCA on non-ocean waters until late
tonight, when SCA wind gusts redevelop and continue likely
through the day Tuesday and potentially Tuesday night as well.
Also potential for SCA wind gusts early Wednesday on parts of
non-ocean waters, with otherwise sub-SCA conditions Wednesday
through Wednesday night on non-ocean zones.
Possible gales on the ocean Tuesday into Tuesday night but
probabilities less than 50 percent. Mentioned possible gales in
the HWO.
Conditions are expected to remain below SCA levels Thursday and
Friday.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Recent rainfall will lead to more moist low levels today but
winds picking up after rain has ended will eventually dry out
these low levels this afternoon into tonight. Would think
Tuesday into Tuesday night with higher winds and lower RH would
make potentially another concerning day regarding fire weather
and the increased possibility of brush fire spread.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
Moderate drought conditions have developed per US Drought
Monitor. Stream flows are generally below the 25th percentile of
normal for this time of year. There are no hydrologic concerns
through next week.
