&& .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
-- Changed Discussion --
A 1031 hi over QC will build swd today. This will enhance the ely flow off the Atlc with winds around 10kt at the coasts. Lighter flow across the interior with the flow there veering a bit thru the day. The veering flow may help to trigger some upslope shwrs and tstms. Like prev model runs however, this activity is expected to remain mainly outside of the cwa. The NBM does have a sliver of pops along the nrn Orange county border for late this aftn, but that is it. Stuck with this guidance for the fcst. Smoke is still modeled to remain entrenched across the area today, although sfc smoke is expected to be minimal attm. Went with hz in the fcst thru this aftn, then kept it out for tngt. Storm motion is progged to be 5kt or less generally ewd this aftn, and the models indicate this activity slowly continues to migrate ewd overnight. Again, this convection is expected to remain outside of the cwa per the models so the fcst is dry, but a renegade shwr or tstm cannot be completely ruled out particularly across the nrn tier. The NBM was followed for temps today and tngt with the numbers coming in aob normal.

&& .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
Deep subsidence on Thu with an upr ridge building in, so the fcst is dry. E flow with highs around 80, slightly cooler at the shore, and slightly warmer in the usual hot spots. Perhaps more blue sky as well with cirrus modeled to lessen during the day, and the HRRR indicating decreasing vertically integrated smoke by aftn as well.

&& .LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... High pressure will dominate through the period. A gradual warming trend is expected to begin through much of the long term. Near to slightly above normal temperatures are expected inland on Saturday and then a warming trend to above average temperatures is expected into early next week, along with rising dewpoints. Heat index values could exceed 95 mainly inland beginning Monday and lingering through Wednesday. A late day tstm may be possible mainly NW of NYC on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon with the approach of a weak disturbance from the west. && .AVIATION /06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... High pressure remains north and east of the terminals through the TAF period. Mainly VFR conditions are expected through the TAF period. There is a chance for a brief time window of MVFR stratus towards early this morning. Winds will be SE to E near 5 kt tonight. Winds will become variable direction for some terminals. Winds become more SE and increase to near 10 kt by Wednesday. NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty... Uncertain about MVFR timing. Start and end time could vary by 1-2 hours. Chance VFR could very well prevail late tonight into early this morning. .OUTLOOK FOR 06Z THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY... Wednesday night - Sunday: VFR.
