Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
1014 PM EDT Fri Aug 1 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
-- Changed Discussion --
High pressure remains in control through midweek before a
frontal system approaches toward week`s end.
-- End Changed Discussion --

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
A frontal boundary continues to shift south of the area while
high pressure builds in from the northeast. The pressure
gradient is gradually weakening leading to a lightening E/NE
flow. A longwave upper level trough remains across much of the
east coast of the US and up into eastern Canada.

This will be the first of several cooler nights coming up. With
winds lightening and skies clearing earlier for the interior,
thinking they have the better shot at some lower 50s low
temperatures tonight. Elsewhere upper 50s to mid 60s is
expected. Blended in CONSMOS with the NBM to get these
temperatures across the interior.

High pressure settles over the area on Saturday with sunny to
mostly sunny skies expected. Given the cooler airmass,
temperatures likely only reach the low 80s. Late day seabreeze
is likely.

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
High pressure remains in control Saturday night through Monday.
Expect more days of dry weather, plenty of sun and cooler
nights. The NBM was closely followed, except for blending in
some CONSMOS for lows.

Upper level trough axis shifts east and heights rise a bit
Sunday into Monday. The cooler airmass begins to modify and
highs will be back in the mid 80s to low 90s by Monday.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
The NBM was largely followed with this update with no major changes.

Key Points:

* Generally dry conditions are expected through Thursday. A frontal
  system then approaches toward the end of the week.

* Seasonable temperatures through the period with highs in the 80s
  and lower humidity that in recent days.

A decent stretch of sensible weather is in store for the
extended as global models and their respective ensembles
advertise a building upper ridge and high pressure at the
surface much of the period. With strong ridging over the Four
Corners region, a few weak shortwaves will pass through the
northeast ridge during the period without much fanfare. The flow
attempts to flatten some by late Thursday into Friday, as the
surface high retreats to the south and a front approaches from
the OH Valley. Slight chance PoPs for Friday associated with
this front, which seems reasonable this far out.

.MARINE...
A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for only the ocean waters
as seas are still as high as 8 feet from a consistent 15-20kt E/NE
flow. The Advisory expires at 11 AM Saturday morning. Sub SCA
conditions are then likely the rest of Saturday through next week
with high pressure in control and a weak pressure gradient over the
waters.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
There are no hydrologic concerns through next week.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
-- Changed Discussion --
Rip current risk for ocean beaches is moderate for Saturday with a
decreasing wave component. This will continue to lower for the rest
of the weekend, with a low risk of rip currents for ocean beaches on
Sunday.
